After the breakup, Mr. Shang thought that the father was more valuable than the son.
Chapter 41 An old pocket watch with bullet holes
Shang Ji looked at the number on his phone that only rang once and then hung up. He waited with a sullen face for a long time, but Song Xier didn't call again.
Business.
Song Xier got out of the car and walked straight in. As soon as she entered, she heard the voices of Shang Zhenglin and Su Mei coming from the second floor.
"Xi'er and I have been dragging you down for so many years. I can't trouble you any more this time." Su Mei's voice was gentle but firm: "Besides, I've also seen that school. It's really good. Xi'er's past is a good thing. .”
"We are all a family, nothing is a burden." Shang Zhenglin frowned: "I told you when you married me that I would never let you and Xi'er suffer any grievances in the future."
"As for this matter, don't worry. I've already talked to my third brother. It's just a matter of shares. It's not a big deal."
Song Xi'er walked to the door of the bedroom and looked inside. She saw a suitcase on the ground and folded clothes on the bed. Su Mei was already packing her luggage.
"Xi'er." Su Mei saw her coming over hurriedly: "Where have you been?"
Song Xier glanced at her mother, and then said to Shang Zhenglin: "Uncle Shang, my mother is right. That school is very good. I like it very much. I want to go there."
Shang Zhenglin frowned and looked at Su Mei and Song Xi'er, his eyes filled with self-blame: "I'm sorry, Xiao Mei, Xi'er, it's because I am unable to protect you."
Then he added: "Even if I have to leave, there is no rush. I will go find Shang Ji. Dad likes him the most. If he is willing to come forward, my third uncle will definitely relent for his sake."
After saying that, he took out his cell phone and called Shang Ji before walking out.
Song Xier wanted to say something, but after opening her mouth, she still didn't say anything.
Shang Ji had wanted to send her away long before this, but this time he just found a legitimate excuse.
Shang Ji would definitely not help, not to mention that he had seen the photos in Xiao Jie's hand...
He must find her disgusting now, right?
I didn't want to see her again for a second, so I was so anxious to send her away.
That's fine. In this situation, it is the best choice for her to obey his arrangements obediently.
Song Xier thought it was easy, but there was still a slight dull pain in her heart.
She tried her best to ignore it and turned to look at the luggage on the ground: "Mom, have you really decided to go with me?"
"How can I rest assured that you are going to such a far place alone?" Su Mei said without thinking, "I will definitely go with you."
"What about Uncle Shang?" Song Xi'er asked, "If you leave, Uncle Shang..."
Su Mei lowered her eyes: "If he is willing, we can go together. If he is not willing, I won't say anything. I respect his choice."
Song Xi'er didn't know what to say after hearing this. Besides, she agreed and was happy for Su Mei to go with her.
Song Xier's eyes suddenly fell on a small wooden box in Su Mei's suitcase.
"Mom, what is this?" Song Xi'er walked over and asked, "How come I've never seen it before?"
The box was very rough, without any carving or polishing. There was a small lock hanging on the outside, made of copper.
Su Mei walked over, knelt down, picked up the box, and touched it gently in her hand without saying a word.
Song Xier looked on, a little surprised.
This was the first time she saw such a complicated expression on her mother's face.
It seems sad, happy, and nostalgic...
"Mom..." Song Xier was very curious.
Su Mei raised her head and smiled at Song Xi'er and said, "This is mother's baby."
Hearing what she said, Song Xier became even more curious: "What treasure, can you let me see it?"
Su Mei seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally opened it in front of Song Xier.
The inside of the box was similar to the outside. The first time she opened it, Song Xier saw a pocket watch that looked very old at first glance.
The appearance of the pocket watch can be said to be incompatible with the box. The box is rough, but the pocket watch is as delicate as if it came out of a museum.
Although the surface of the pocket watch is covered with traces of time, it does not affect its value at all.
Unfortunately, there is a small hole that goes deep near the edge of this pocket watch, almost penetrating the entire pocket watch. It looks like it was hit by something with strong penetrating power.
In addition to this watch, there was also a withered rose in the box. The root and stem were black. The originally beautiful petals of the rose were also black no matter how long they had been stored. There was even a smell that was not very good.
And at the bottom of these there is an upside-down photo, the content of which cannot be seen.
"Mom, these are..." Song Xier's eyes were full of curiosity and surprise.
But Su Mei didn't explain anything to her. She just raised her hand and touched the small hole on the pocket watch, and then closed the box.
"Some old things." Su Mei said softly, "I haven't opened them for a long time."
Song Xier knew that her mother didn't want to say more, so even though she was curious, she didn't ask any more questions.
But for some reason, her intuition told her that the things inside should be related to her biological father.
Song Changhai...
When Song Xi'er returned to the room, she couldn't help but keep flashing the pocket watch in her mind, feeling that something must have happened.
And Su Mei obviously didn't want to show it to her at first.
Why can't I show it to her?
Just as he was thinking about it, his phone rang. It was a message from Yu Meng, saying that he had arrived in Jiangcheng.
Yu Meng's mother's condition was not very good, so she was transferred to Jiangcheng after discussing with the hospital there.
Song Xier asked about the address and planned to go there tomorrow morning.
The next day.
Song Xi'er told Su Mei and took a taxi to the hospital. When she was about to arrive, Song Xi'er asked the driver to stop at a fruit shop.
After giving the money, she walked into the fruit shop.
As soon as I entered, I heard a familiar voice: "Mom, I've chosen it. This one belongs to Shang Ji. He will be here soon."
Song Xier paused in her steps.
In front of the checkout counter, Zhuang Lin stood with a woman who was very elegantly dressed. Their appearance was somewhat similar.
"How come he has time to spend with you today?" the woman asked, "He was also the one who sent you back last night, right?"
Zhuang Lin nodded shyly: "Yes."
"It seems that he is attracted to you." The woman nodded with satisfaction: "My daughter is so outstanding. I have already said that this will happen sooner or later. When you get married in the future, you have to take good care of me. The person is caught in the hand.”
"Yeah, I know." Zhuang Lin nodded.
"Thankfully you were worried about that wild girl whose birth was unknown before. Shang Ji is a smart man and will definitely not waste any time on her. Are you relieved now?"
Zhuang Lin was about to say something when she raised her eyes and saw Song Xi'er standing at the door.
She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shouted: "Sister Xi'er, what a coincidence."
