However, after arriving at Huanhai Road and Fuxing Street, Gu Xiwan was dumbfounded——
Because Fuxing Street is more than 5 kilometers long from south to north, Gu Xiwan only knows that her father lives on this street, but does not know where her father lives on this street...
Fortunately, Gu Xiwan knew her father's name.
At this time, a middle-aged woman led a child who had just learned to walk out of a residential building along the street. Gu Xiwan greeted her and said humbly and politely,
"Hello, aunt, do you know a person named Sheng Yuxuan?"
The woman shook her head,
"Sheng Yuxuan? I have lived here for twelve years. I know everyone who lives in this building. I have never heard of anyone named Sheng. Little girl, are you sure she lives in this building? ? Are you looking for the wrong building?"
Gu Xiwan smiled and said,
"Actually, I don't know which building he lives in. I only know that he lives on this street. Since you are sure that he is not in your building, I will go to other buildings to find out. Auntie, thank you."
After saying that, he was about to leave.
"Little girl, don't leave yet." The woman stopped Gu Xiwan and advised her kindly,
"Do you know how many residential buildings there are in and outside this street? 87! Each of these 87 buildings has 60 households living in it, which means there are more than 5,000 residents living in this street. You only know that the person you are looking for lives on this street. How easy is it to find him? Don’t you have to go door to door and ask?"
Gu Xiwan's eyes were firm,
"No matter what, I must find him. This person is extremely important to me and my mother. As long as I can find him, it doesn't matter if I go door to door and ask."
"That's true...
However, have you ever thought about it. It would take at least three to five days to check all the five thousand households by yourself, not to mention that it is the National Day holiday and many people are going out to play. , if the person you are looking for happens to go out for fun and there is no one at home, wouldn’t your search all this time be in vain? "
The kind-hearted woman spoke kindly.
Gu Xiwan thought about it too.
At this time, the woman had already led the squirting child to Gu Xiwan. She pointed at the large residential building behind Gu Xiwan and sighed,
"So, little girl, I advise you to come here after you know the person's specific address. If you really can't find out his specific address and you must check door to door, wait until after the holidays!"
The woman finished speaking and left.
Gu Xiwan turned around and looked at the building that the woman had just pointed at. The words the woman said were like a bucket of cold water poured on her heart, instantly extinguishing her enthusiasm to find her father.
Gu Xiwan has been waiting for this day to find her biological father and reunite her mother with her father for too long.
When she came to this street a few minutes ago, she felt as if she was already very close to her father.
But, should she wait any longer?
Now, there are still five days before the National Day holiday ends, and it will take her another three to five days to go door to door looking for her father...
No!
Gu Xiwan didn't want to wait any longer!
Gu Xiwan was stubborn at heart. She never gave up her dignity to seek help from someone she hated. Lu Yichen was one of the people Gu Xiwan hated.
But this time, Gu Xiwan took the initiative to call Lu Yichen. Now, the only person who could possibly help was Lu Yichen!
"Wanwan? You actually took the initiative to call me?"
Lu Yichen was pleasantly surprised when he received a call from Gu Xiwan.
Gu Xiwan didn't want to say another word to Lu Yichen, so she went straight to the point indifferently and said,
"You told me last time in the hospital that you knew my father's specific address, but you refused to tell me his address because of ulterior motives. Now, I already know that my father lives on Huanhai Road, Fuxing Street."
"I didn't expect you to know so soon. Gu Shenhai wished you bad things. He couldn't have told you, and neither could Gu Baixue, Gu Jiali... nor could they...
Wanwan, where did you know that? Have you met your biological father? "Lu Yichen over there was extremely shocked.
"not yet……"
Gu Xiwan said lightly,
"Although I know that my dad lives on Fuxing Street, I don't know his specific address."
"Ha." Lu Yichen laughed and said,
"I know you would never contact me unless you had no choice. The moment I saw you calling me, I thought that your call must be related to finding your father. Sure enough...
good!
Since you already know that your father lives on Fuxing Street, even if I don't tell you his specific address, it will be just around the corner for you to find him. And when you find your father, the information I have will be even less useful to you. Value, I might as well take the opportunity to blackmail you——
Wanwan, I can tell you what you want to know right now, but I have a condition! "
Gu Xiwan couldn't help but remember the last time Lu Yichen made a condition in the hospital to let her sleep with him once. She was ashamed and annoyed, and her voice became even colder.
"I have something to say first. If you shamelessly make such rude requests to me again, I will hang up the phone immediately."
"..." Lu Yichen was silent for a moment and then said,
"Wanwan, am I that bad in your eyes?
After all, we loved each other. At the beginning, we were together for three years, but I didn’t have the chance to get you. That has always been my regret. I only want you once, so I can end my regret for you. Why do you always treat me like this? conflict? "
Gu Xiwan didn't expect that she had clearly reminded Lu Yichen, but Lu Yichen still said these shameless words.
This caused Gu Xiwan to completely give up her hope for Lu Yichen. She immediately moved the phone to her ear and was about to hang up.
At this time, Lu Yichen's voice was faintly heard coming from the receiver,
"Wanwan, don't be angry. The reason why I said these words is just to vent my complaints against you. This time, I don't want your people, I want your money."
Gu Xiwan hurriedly put the phone back to her ear.
"How much do you want?"
"one million."
When she heard this number, the joy in Gu Xiwan's eyes turned into despair before she could turn to despair. She said sarcastically,
"Lu Yichen, are you trying to trick me? You know very well that I have been supporting my mother all these years. If I don't live frugally, my salary will not be enough. How can I get so much savings? I don't even have ten thousand I can’t even get out of it, so you want one million from me?!”
"You can owe me the debt first, and you can pay me back when you have the money within a hundred years."
Lu Yichen's voice was very calm, but Gu Xiwan was so shocked that she couldn't open her mouth from ear to ear.
Just listen to Lu Yichen's faint words,
"If you don't say anything, I will treat you as agreeing to this deal. Your dad lives in No. 32 Fuxing Street, Building 9, Linshuijia Community, Room 301. You can go and reunite with your dad now."
After Lu Yichen finished speaking, he hung up.
Although Gu Xiwan was shocked by Lu Yichen's abnormal behavior, how could she still think about things related to Lu Yichen at this moment——
She concentrated all her energy to remember the address Lu Yichen said in her heart. Then she asked passers-by where Building 9 of Linshui House was, scanned the QR code on the roadside, opened a shared bicycle, and rode quickly to her destination. And go.
…
A few minutes later, Gu Xiwan arrived at the downstairs of Building 9 of Linshui Home Community.
She put down her bicycle, ran straight outside room 301, and rang the doorbell.
"Coming!"
This slightly hoarse voice came from inside the room.
Gu Xiwan originally thought that no one might be at home. When she heard someone respond, she was excited and nervous. She tried hard to steady her breathing before saying,
"Hello, I'm here to see someone. Does Sheng Yuxuan live here?"
"How presumptuous! How dare you, a little kid, call me by his first name? Who are you?!" The voice inside the door suddenly became deeper.
master? !
So, is dad the master of this family? She's in the right place!
Gu Xiwan's nervous mood added a bit of joy, and she said apologetically,
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend him. I was looking for my father... I mean I have been looking for Uncle Sheng for a long time. I finally found him today, so I got a little carried away with the excitement. Is he at home? Can I see him?"
"You're late, I'm not here anymore." The voice said lifelessly.
Gu Xiwan was stunned for a moment.
"Excuse me, where has he gone? You must have his mobile phone number. Can you give me his mobile phone number and I will call him."
"No matter how many times you call me, I still can't hear you."
The voice became sadder and deeper,
"My master passed away last year. If you really want to see him, go to the cemetery in the south of the city to find him. His tombstone is in Area 2."
The voice was obviously so weak, but Gu Xiwan seemed to hear thunder exploding in her ears. She couldn't even hold on to her thin mobile phone, and it fell to her feet with a "snap" side.
Gu Xiwan didn't bother to pick up the phone, and faced the closed door and said tremblingly,
"This is impossible...
Gu Baixue and Lu Yichen, when they told me the address, they never said that he was no longer alive. How could he...
Uncle, are you deliberately lying to me because you don't want me to see him? "
"My master was lonely and miserable all his life. I was the only servant who stayed with him and stayed with him for the rest of his life. I wish he could live longer than me and let him bury me. I How could I lie to you?
No matter who you are, I don't want to talk anymore, you go! If you don't believe what I say, you will believe it if you go to the cemetery. "
After that, no matter what Gu Xiwan said, the man never replied.
Gu Xiwan heard the sound of footsteps gradually disappearing from the room, and then there was the sound of a door closing. Gu Xiwan judged that the person who had just spoken to her went to another room and closed the door.
Gu Xiwan had mixed feelings in her heart.
She couldn't believe that she had been searching for so long and had so much hope, but in the end, it turned out to be in vain.
Ten minutes later, Gu Xiwan arrived at the cemetery in the south of the city.
Sure enough, Gu Xiwan found the tombstone with the name "Sheng Yuxuan" engraved on it in the second area of the cemetery.
There was a cold wind in the cemetery, and the blood-red sunshine hit the tombstone. Gu Xiwan stood in front of the tombstone and carefully read the inscription on it——
Sheng Yuxuan!
This must be her father!
He was only 45 years old when he passed away, and his mother was 42 years old last year. He was two years older than his mother. Gu Xiwan was 19 years old last year. His father should have had her with his mother when he was 26...
Although Gu Xiwan had never met her father, she couldn't help but burst into tears at this moment.
At the same time, Gu Xiwan couldn't help but think of her mother.
Fourteen years!
Since her mother became mentally ill, the person she talks about most often is her father. This also shows how much her mother longs to be reunited with her father. However, her mother can no longer wait for that day!
Even if her mother recovers from her illness, she is probably doomed to regret for the rest of her life because she can no longer see the person she misses so much!
Gu Xiwan stood in front of her father's tombstone for a long time. At some point, the sky became overcast with clouds, and raindrops occasionally fell. Gu Xiwan took her eyes away from the tombstone and walked out of the cemetery.
Almost as soon as Gu Xiwan walked out of the cemetery, a sincere voice suddenly came from not far away,
"Madam, is that you?"
Hearing this voice, Gu Xiwan was extremely shocked.
"To the steward?"
As she spoke, she looked back, and sure enough she saw Butler Cheng getting out of the black car that had just parked outside the cemetery.
At this time, the rain became more intense.
Butler Cheng quickly held up an umbrella, walked quickly to Gu Xiwan, and handed the umbrella to Gu Xiwan.
"Young madam, how could it be such a coincidence? Do you have any relatives buried in this cemetery? I come here every week to pay homage to someone. Why have I never met you here before?"
Thinking of her father whom she had never met, Gu Xiwan felt depressed and did not want to say much. She just said in a perfunctory manner,
"I only learned today that a relative who is extremely important to me is buried here. I have never been here before. I will visit him often in the future."
"oh."
Butler Cheng pointed to his driveway without asking any more questions.
"Young lady, the rain is getting heavier and heavier. You go to the car and wait for me. After I finish paying homage to that person, we can go home together."
Gu Xiwan nodded, adjusted her direction and walked towards the black car.
About a minute later, Gu Xiwan opened the car door and was about to get in the car, when she saw Butler Cheng entering Cemetery No. 2 and walking to her father's tombstone.
Seeing this scene, Gu Xiwan's mood could no longer be described as shocked.
At this moment, it was already drizzling.
Gu Xiwan looked at Butler Cheng's back through thousands of raindrops and asked in a daze,
"So you came here to pay homage to this person? Who is he to you?"
"Who is he to me... If I must say it, he is kind to me and can be regarded as my benefactor; and although I was once his subordinate, he has always been kind to me and treated me as a friend, and he also He is my most respected friend..."
Looking at Sheng Yuxuan's tombstone, Butler Cheng's eyes were full of respect.
As if afraid of disturbing the soul of the deceased, Butler Cheng lowered his voice and said lightly,
“In addition, he is also the young master’s mentor.
Young Madam, you should have heard that it was the Young Master’s mentor who saved the Young Master and the Old Madam when they were in trouble. The person buried under this tombstone is the Young Master’s mentor! "
Gu Xiwan's body swayed.
At this moment, she suddenly remembered that shortly after she and Chu Lingjue got married, Butler Cheng once told her that Chu Lingjue's insistence on being with Gu Baixue was related to Chu Lingjue's mentor.
Chu Lingjue's mentor was Gu Xiwan's father. Combined with this, Gu Xiwan suddenly felt strongly that some truths that had been covered up for a long time were about to be revealed!
She tried hard to calm down her excitement, looked at the tombstone and said,
"So, what is the relationship between Chu Lingjue's mentor and Gu Baixue? Nearly a month ago, why did you tell me that Chu Lingjue must be with Gu Baixue in order to repay his mentor?"
