The aroma of the tea entered his nostrils and slid into his throat, making him unable to resist taking a few more sips.

The last time he saw Li Yuan, He Zhenying sent someone to check his details, and found no intersection between him and Ning He.But there are some things in them that are too similar for him to doubt, so this time, he plans to get straight to the point.

"Xiaoyuan, can I ask you a question?"

"Well, you said."

"Do you know Ning He?"

Hearing his mother's name, Li Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

How did Mr. He know his mother?

He raised his head to meet He Zhenying's gaze and asked, "Do you know Ning He?"

After hearing his words, He Zhenying confirmed her guess and replied, "I'm probably Ning He's old friend."

"Really?" Li Yuan said happily.This can explain why He Zhenying was surprised when he first saw him.With his similar appearance to his mother, anyone who knows Ning He will be surprised.

Except for Aunt Lin Shulin, no one had ever mentioned his mother to him. Now that he finally met an old friend of Ning He, Li Yuan felt very excited.

"How did you know each other? What was he doing at that time? Why didn't we contact each other for so many years?"

His barrage of questions made He Zhenying smile bitterly and said, "Son, you haven't answered my question yet."

Only then did Li Yuan realize his recklessness, and quickly replied: "I am his son...nephew, yes, nephew!"

Li Yuan panicked for a while, and almost blurted out the truth, saying that he was born by a man, so don't scare the old man so badly.

"nephew?"

Ning He is a child picked up by the old man Ning, a scholar in Baitou Village. Where did the brothers and sisters come from? How could a nephew come out for no reason?

"Well, he's my uncle."

He Zhenying smiled softly, and asked following his words: "I went back to find your uncle, but everyone in the village said he was gone, and I haven't heard from him for so many years, where is he now? "

He Zhenying was calm on the surface, but he had already set off a huge wave in his heart. In the past 30 years, he has never been as close to Ning He as he is now.Now Ning He is also 51 years old. I wonder what he will look like now?Still as handsome as 30 years ago?Does he still hate him?

"Uncle, he...has been dead for a long time."

He Zhenying's mind was depicting the scene of their reunion, but Li Yuan's words cruelly interrupted his fantasy and dragged him into the bottomless hell.

"what!"

The old man stood up and rushed towards Li Yuan, "Say it again, what happened to Ning He, Ning He!!!"

Ning He's death was also a pain that Li Yuan didn't want to mention in his heart, but facing He Zhenying's questioning, he could only open up the scabbed wound again, "Uncle, he has passed away for a long time."

His words sentenced He Zhenying to death.For so many years, he has not been able to forget Ning He for a moment. He once thought about Ning He's current situation, but he never thought that he would walk ahead of him anyway.

His figure wobbled, if Li Yuan hadn't supported him in time, he would have fallen to the cold and hard floor.

"Ning He, Ning He..."

There was a look of infinite grief in the eyes of the old man, which brought back Li Yuan's sad memory.It seemed that He Zhenying had a close relationship with his mother, and the news of his mother's death had brought such a heavy blow to this old man who had always been calm and calm.

He Zhenying is nearly eighty years old. During this long period of time, he only cared about one person, but he didn't expect that person to be separated from him.

He sat slumped on the chair, his back that had always been straight slumped down. At this moment, he lost all his sharpness and momentum, reminiscing about the time that he couldn't go back like an ordinary old man.

His expression was so painful that Li Yuanyu couldn't bear to step forward to comfort him, but the old man grabbed his hand and stared at him with bloodshot eyes, "Son, tell me the truth, rather Who are you, Crane? I have been looking for him for 30 years, why can't so many people find any news about him?"

Li Yuan didn't know how to answer, he couldn't tell He Zhenying the truth, but he couldn't find an excuse for a while.

"Son, just take it as the last wish of an old man who has stepped on the door of hell, and tell me..." Tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, and flowed through the gully that represented the traces of time, his body trembled like the wind The fallen leaves seemed to be falling to the ground at any moment.

Li Yuanyu couldn't bear his appearance, so he had to say with mixed truths: "Because my uncle passed away early, and I don't know very well. My father said that my uncle is actually his brother-in-law and has no blood relationship. Can you find him?" The reason why I saw him may be because he changed his original surname and took the surname Li from my parents."

Except for father and Uncle Lin, no one knew his mother's real name, but why did he change his name?This is also a question that Li Yuan can't figure out.

"So that's how it is, that's how it is!!!" The old man let out a heavy sigh.He didn't know what method Ning He had used so that he didn't leave any record of changing his name in the household registration management office, so he searched all over the country and found no trace of him.

He also fantasized that on the day when he was dying of illness, Ning He could come to his bed, so that he could see his face for the last time before he died, and take this memory to another world.He wanted to say "I'm sorry" to him, no matter whether he could win Ning He's forgiveness or not.

Even such a wish has become an extravagant wish. The person he is thinking about has already gone one step ahead of him, so what is the point of his waiting?

"Mr. He, what's the matter with you?"

Li Yuan noticed that He Zhenying's face was a little blue, and his hands were tightly holding the heart, and his facial features were all tangled together.

He quickly called He Shichen loudly: "He Shichen! Come in!"

He Shichen who heard the call hurriedly ran into the living room, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he knew that something big was about to happen.
