Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 422 Late Night Visit
Surprisingly, his mother may not be dead.

But what's puzzling is...

If his mother hadn't died, then why did the old man say she was dead and bring her ashes back with him?
What exactly is the reason behind this?
Or is there another hidden story?

Also, if his mother really didn't die, then why hasn't she come back or come to see him in more than ten years?
Can she abandon her husband?

Could she really abandon her child?
"I'll go ask Xingxing again." After calming down, Sheng Zexi felt that he still needed to go to Xingxing to ask for clarification.

"it is good."

Soon, Xingxing was called into the room.

He then recounted what had happened during the day.

When Sheng Zexi heard the woman identify herself as Awan, his heart skipped a beat.

Just then, Xingxing seemed to remember something and said, "That's right, Mom and Dad, I remember, Grandma called that foreign man Henry."

Henry?

Sheng Zexi murmured.

This Henry appears to be a key figure.

I just don't know what the relationship is between Henry and the person who is suspected to be his mother.

Judging from Xingxing's description, they seem quite close.

“Dad, I can’t be wrong, that’s Grandma.” Xingxing held Sheng Zexi’s hand, her eyes full of certainty.

Sheng Zexi patted Xingxing's head and said, "Dad believes in Xingxing, but there are still some things that need to be verified."

"So, Xingxing, you have to keep this secret for now and don't tell your great-grandfather and great-grandmother, okay?"

If Mom is really still alive, then of course everyone will be happy.

But what if it's a mistake?

If we let the grandparents know in advance, wouldn't that just make them feel disappointed?
They are getting old now and probably can't handle too much joy or sorrow.

Xingxing nodded. "Dad, I understand."

"Okay, go play."

After the stars left, Sheng Zexi also made a decision.

"Ningning, let's go to the Sheng family's old house now."

"I think there are some things I need to verify with him in person."

"Only he knows some of the inside information."

Gu Jianing knew that the "he" Sheng Zexi was referring to was her father-in-law, Sheng Xinhao.

She stepped forward and took Sheng Zexi's hand, saying, "Okay, I'll go with you."

Grandma Sang was very surprised when she learned that Gu Jianing and Sheng Zexi were going out.

"Where are you going so late at night?" Grandma Sang asked, somewhat puzzled.

"I don't have anything to do, I just plan to go for a walk." Sheng Zexi didn't tell the truth.

Grandma Sang understood, but didn't ask any more questions.

"Okay, it's late at night, so drive carefully and come back early."

"it is good."

Sheng Zexi looked at his grandmother for a few seconds, then suddenly stepped forward and hugged her.

Sang's grandmother was taken aback when he was suddenly hugged, then chuckled and patted his back, asking, "What's wrong with you?"

Sheng Zexi shook his head and didn't say anything more.

He then took Gu Jianing into the car and drove towards the Sheng family's old residence.

The Sheng family's old residence is located in a large courtyard.

At the entrance, when the guards stopped him, they recognized Sheng Zexi almost immediately.

The guard was an older man.

The guards in the compound had been there for many years, and they had watched Sheng Zexi grow up from his childhood.

I also vaguely know about the conflict between Sheng Zexi and Sheng Xinhao.

Of course, I also know that Sheng Zexi hasn't been back for many years.

I was quite surprised to see Sheng Zexi come back so late at night.

"It's Zexi, you're back."

"Yes, Grandpa Zhou, I'm back."

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. There's no such thing as a grudge between a father and son that lasts overnight. Your father had been talking about you the whole time." "Now that you're back, he'll definitely be very happy."

"He's home right now, let's go in quickly."

"Okay, thank you, Grandpa Zhou."

So the car entered the compound.

As he got off the bus, Sheng Zexi looked around at the familiar surroundings, his heart filled with emotion.

This was Gu Jianing's first time here, while Xingxing and Yueyue had been brought here several times by Sheng Xinhao.

Although Sheng Xinhao had previously told them to come to the old house when they had time, they had not come.

This is the first time.

Sheng Zexi took Gu Jianing's hand and said, "Let's go."

"Ah."

The old Sheng family residence at this time.

Sheng Xinhao sat alone in the living room, the television was playing, and the living room was not quiet.

But for some reason, Sheng Xinhao felt empty and lonely.

He lost his father and mother when he was young, his wife when he was young, and his son became estranged from him in middle and old age.

Sheng Xinhao felt that he had reached a high position in his life.

But it's truly sad that there's no one close to him by his side.

"That guy, Ah Xi, is as stubborn as a mule. I've told him so many times that he can come home to visit, but he just hasn't come back."

Sheng Xinhao murmured, sounding somewhat aggrieved.

He also knew that he had made a mistake back then.

He tried to make amends, but some things are irreversible.

He remembered that Ah-Xi had once said that he would only forgive him if his mother came back to life.

Sheng Xinhao lowered his eyes and looked at the photo album on his lap.

The album contains photos of the family of three.

Sheng Xinhao gently stroked the beautiful woman above with his fingertips.

She murmured, "Ah Wan, I also hope you can come back to life."

If, if Awan hadn't passed away back then, would everything have been different?

This is what Sheng Zexi saw when he came in.

The old man sat on the sofa, the cold white light reflecting off the white hair at his temples. In his youth, his back was so straight that you could carry him while running, but now it was slightly hunched. Even his shoulders, which once seemed to be able to support the sky, now looked somewhat dejected.

There was an inexplicable sense of loneliness and desolation surrounding him.

There is also the passing of youth and the arrival of old age and helplessness.

For some reason, Sheng Zexi felt a thorn in his side.

Just then, Sheng Xinhao, who was gazing at the photo in a daze, suddenly heard a sound.

He looked up.

Then he saw Sheng Zexi and Gu Jianing walking in hand in hand. He was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

"Why are you here?" His tone was full of surprise. He put down the photo album, stood up immediately, and his face was full of smiles.

Sheng Zexi raised an eyebrow, instinctively retorting, "What, you don't want us to come?"

Gu Jianing: ?

Gu Jianing patted his hand.

This person has a sharp tongue.

I was hooked from the very first time we met.

Later, after they got married, this person never spoke ill of her, but he did speak ill of others.

Sheng Zexi pursed his lips and remained silent after being patted by Gu Jianing.

"How could that be? You can come anytime you want." If it were in the past, Sheng Zexi would have retorted like that, and Sheng Xinhao would have felt that his fatherly authority had been challenged and would have been angry.

But now, he's not angry at all.

　If nothing unexpected happens, it should end next month.
