At a lively village wedding banquet, a relative mentioned Xiu's ex-husband.

"I heard he remarried last month,"

"She is also from Zhejiang, and her family is quite well off."

"Your ex-mother-in-law has been gone for two years. I just don't know how your daughter is doing."

Yu Xiu nodded, her emotions surging in her heart:

He remarried, and his mother-in-law passed away. Who was taking care of Jin? Would her stepmother treat her badly? He should have more children, so could he go and take his daughter back?

Yu Xiu raised her head and tried to control herself: "Where in Zhejiang? I haven't seen Ah Jin for a long time, I think--" Her voice began to tremble and her eyes began to turn red.

"Don't be sad," the relative quickly handed Yu Xiu a tissue, "I know you miss Ah Jin, I will go and ask for you."

"Thank you," Yu Xiu forced a smile, "Thank you for your help."

Zhong Li on the side also hurriedly comforted Yu Xiu: "Aunt, we will definitely find my sister."

But at night, Zhong Li couldn't sleep.

It was already past 12 o'clock, and Zhong Li was still staring blankly at the ceiling with his eyes open;

On the one hand, she hoped her sister could come back and they could be reunited. After all, she wanted her aunt to be happy.

But now that my sister is back, what should I do?

After all, my sister is my aunt's biological daughter, not her.

Suddenly she thought of something, ran out of bed, rummaged through the drawers and found a business card. The three words "Lin Yehao" printed on the business card were familiar to her.

He would visit her at least once a year, ask about her situation, and occasionally suggest that she go to Shanghai to study.

But I was rejected by my aunt every time.

but……

If my sister comes back, will my aunt still refuse?

Zhong Li put the business card into the drawer and fell into deep thought.

Soon, Yu Xiu took Zhong Li to her grandmother's house. At the door, she half-knelt in front of Xiao Li and smoothed her hair:

"Auntie is out for a few days. You stay with grandma these days. Grandma will take care of you. Just wait for auntie to come back, okay?"

Zhong Li had guessed that her aunt had gone to look for her daughter. She said nothing but nodded, "Okay, don't worry." After a pause, she added, "I'll wait for you to come back."

Zhong Li didn't cry at first, but when she saw her aunt hurriedly walking away, she suddenly burst into tears.

Her grandmother held her in her arms and stood there for a long time. She was reluctant to go back, even though Yu Xiu's figure had already disappeared.

In the middle of the night, she took out the business card from her schoolbag again. Her grandmother and the others had already fallen asleep, so she secretly took the business card and ran to the main room and dialed the number.

"Hello," a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

Zhong Li suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Is it Xiaoli?"

Seeing that he guessed it was him, Zhong Li was so scared that he hung up the phone immediately.

Lin Yehao was on a business trip in Guangzhou at the time. After the call was hung up, he looked at the two words "Yu Jie" displayed on his phone and fell into deep thought.

Yu Jie Yu Jie, this name that occupies an important place in his heart, came back to his mind again.

When she was in college, Yu Jie was the "dream goddess" of all the boys in the department. She was beautiful, intelligent and shining, and Lin Yehao couldn't help but always want to take a second look at her.

But I didn't dare say a word to her.

Later, he became good friends with his roommate Zhong Yiming. At a late-night snack party, Zhong Yiming actually showed up with Yu Jie. It was then that Lin Yehao realized that they were boyfriend and girlfriend.

Gradually, he would start to talk to her more in the name of friends. He was satisfied with just a few words, as he didn't want to ruin anything.

At that time, he always told himself: It’s enough to like it, you don’t have to own it.

Later, he returned from studying abroad and took charge of the company left by his father. He immediately found Zhong Yiming and asked him to help him expand the Hengyuan Group left by his father. In fact, he also had selfish motives. At least, he could see Yu Jie often.

He still told himself: It’s enough to like it, you don’t have to own it.

Later, news came that she was pregnant. He had seen her when she was pregnant. She was full of maternal radiance, just like the Virgin Mary, and her beauty was even softer.

At that time, he also told Yu Jie:

“I came to Hengyuan to help after I had my baby.”

Yu Jie smiled: "Sure, but I have to take care of -" She paused and pointed to her belly, "-she"

Then she turned around and smiled at Zhong Yiming.

That scene was so beautiful that Lin Yehao still remembers it to this day.

Only later did the news come that she had passed away.

too suddenly……

Lin Yehao's hands began to tremble uncontrollably again, and his tears began to drip onto the floor. He quickly took out a few tissues and wiped his face roughly.

He wanted to calm down a bit, so he quickly took out his phone and booked a flight.

——Whether it’s for Yu Jie or Zhong Yiming, I must take good care of her.

The next evening, when Zhong Li was walking home from school, she saw a black car parked at the gate of her grandmother's house from afar.

She suddenly had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, when I got home, I saw the floor filled with various gifts, including him - Lin Yehao.

"You're back," Lin Yehao turned around and smiled at her, looking at her carefully, "You've lost weight recently, are you under a lot of pressure from studying?"

Zhong Li shook his head: "Uncle Lin, why are you here suddenly?"

Lin Yehao smiled and did not mention what happened last night. He just evaded the question and said:

"Just passing by."

Grandma called Xiaoli into the room to do her homework. She was still thinking about the conditions proposed by Lin Yehao.

Seeing Zhong Li enter the room obediently, grandma sighed and looked at Lin Yehao: "It is a blessing for our Xiao Li that you have this heart, but..." She paused, "Let's wait for Ah Xiu to come back."

"Okay, I should." Lin Yehao smiled and began to introduce the things he brought. "I asked a friend to bring this back from Taiwan. I heard Yiming say that your legs and feet are not very good. You can try this..."

"It's hard for you to always remember me..."

Yu Xiu came back two days later and was in a very good mood. She saw her daughter and could take her home to live during the holidays. Lin Yehao also took the opportunity to talk to them about adopting Zhong Li.

Yu Xiu originally disagreed, but Lin Yehao moved her:

"She is in Shanghai, where she has the best educational resources. If she wants to study abroad in the future, she can do so. I can create the best conditions for her to succeed."

Yu Xiu started to hesitate from here. She began to wonder if she had delayed Xiaoli's development.

Lin Yehao and his sister and brother-in-law are very good friends. She knows about this and she believes in Lin Yehao.

"What about your wife? Will she be nice to Xiaoli?" Yu Xiu was still a little worried. "After all, your whole family needs to accept it."

"She also agreed. If possible, I will bring her along next time."

Seeing that Yu Xiu was still a little hesitant, Lin Yehao continued, "If you are worried, you can also go to Shanghai. I can arrange your work, and you can see her from time to time."

Yu Xiu stopped talking, and finally said: "I really can't take good care of Xiaoli."

"That's not what I meant—" Lin Yehao was about to explain, but Yu Xiu interrupted him, "Then, I'll have to ask you to take care of her."

Zhong Li did not object after knowing this, but just said to Xiu silently: "When I grow up, I will come to find you."

Yu Xiu nodded with tears in her eyes.

She hoped that Xiaoli could have a better life, being raised by Lin Yehao and his wife would definitely be a hundred times better than her own.

Zhong Li also hopes that her aunt will no longer be dragged down by her. She should do something for her aunt, and leaving is the only thing she can do.

And...after all, my aunt found her biological daughter.

She will never forget the day she left. The thin figures of Yu Xiu and her grandmother became smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror until they disappeared completely.

In fact, Zhong Li regretted her decision at that moment. She kept crying and even hoped that her aunt would rush over and take her home.

But in the end she was taken to Shanghai.

That year, 9-year-old Zhong Li wrote in her diary:

"He really adopted me, his name is Lin Yehao."
