Even though that person was clearly in front of him, Shen Qi still stopped in her tracks and stood there, crying unrestrainedly and feeling wronged.
Nearby.
Shen Qi suddenly became timid.
The last time I was in my father's grave, I mistook my aunt for my mother.
That time, Shen Qi had changed from being filled with hope to being deeply disappointed.
How could she not be afraid this time?
What if she wasn't my mother?
Then what should he do?
How many more times could she endure hope and loss?
In his hazy vision, that person's figure and facial features became clearer and clearer.
Shen Qi felt even more wronged.
She didn't know what she was feeling wronged about, but she really wanted to cry.
It was as if all the grievances he had accumulated for so many years had finally exploded at this moment.
Xu Yun Xi and Liu Yi caught up with him. They saw Shen Qi standing on the grass barefooted, holding the photo and crying like he was about to cry.
When Xu Yun Xi saw the people from afar approaching, she could not help but call out, "Zi Yao ??"
Shen Zi Yao slowly walked over, and her gaze landed on Shen Qi's body.
Why was this child crying like this?
Inexplicably, when Shen Zi Yao saw how miserably the other party was crying, she felt her heart ache.
"Why are you crying?" Shen Zi Yao's voice was very soft, very sweet, and very soft.
Even though the Shen Family was located in the corner of the Northeast, Shen Zi Yao was born with an exquisite and graceful ma
er.
She did not have the bold and unrestrained air of a northern woman, but she had the gentleness and meticulousness of a southern woman.
Xu Yun Xi sighed and said, "Ask for yourself. "Little Yi, let's go take a walk."
Xu Yun Xi dragged Liu Yi and left, Liu Yi turned his head back three times and looked at Shen Qi worriedly.
Seeing that Shen Qi was crying so miserably, Shen Zi Yao immediately took out his handkerchief and handed it over to Shen Qi.
Shen Qi took it, and casually wiped away twice, and held the photo in her hand up to Shen Zi Yao as he sobbed: "You ?? How did you get this picture of Dad? "
"Your father?" Shen Zi Yao's gaze suddenly fell on the picture in Shen Qi's hand.
In the next second, Shen Zi Yao's face suddenly changed!
Shen Zi Yao snatched the photo, and suddenly raised her head to look at Shen Qi, his face filled with shock.
"You are ??" Shen Zi Yao suddenly paused, she could not continue her sentence.
Shen Qi's tears once again flowed out, and she muttered: "I'm Xiao Qi! My name is Shen Qi, and I'm also called Lin Qi! "
Shen Zi Yao's expression changed once again as the basket in her hands fell to the ground, and she felt as if she was struck by lightning!
Xiao Qi... Shen Qi... Lin Qi!
"Xiao Qi ??" Shen Zi Yao's lips trembled as she called out this name, "You are Xiao Qi ??"
Shen Qi nodded strongly.
Shen Zi Yao's eyes instantly turned red.
She would never have thought that her daughter would appear in front of her in this ma
er the moment she returned to her hometown.
Her face was filled with shock, but also pain.
Daughter...
Her daughter...
"Mom ??" Shen Qi bit her lips, and finally shouted out the name she had shouted out who knows how many times in her dreams: "I am Xiao Qi!"
Shen Zi Yao took a step forward and hugged Shen Qi. "I'm sorry, Xiao Qi, I'm sorry! "Sorry ??"
Shen Zi Yao instantly teared up too, "Mom is so sorry! Xiao Qi, my daughter, my child ?? "You've suffered!"
Shen Qi held Shen Zi Yao and shook her head lightly.
"Back then, it was all my fault. It was all my fault." Shen Zi Yao kept blaming himself, "If I hadn't been fooled by someone else at that time, such a thing wouldn't have happened."
Shen Qi gently lifted her head and ruthlessly wiped her tears, "Mom, what exactly happened back then?"
Shen Zi Yao pulled Shen Qi down onto the ground and sat him down. She gently wiped away the tear stains on her face and said, "What happened all those years ago was truly difficult to explain in one sentence. It's my own fault. I grew up under the protection of my father and brother, and never once thought about the evilness of the human heart. Your father and I, from meeting each other to falling in love to getting married, everything went smoothly without any complications. But when I was pregnant with you, someone began to tell me that your father doesn't seem to know anything about others. "
"I didn't believe it until two days before I was due, when I was told that he had run into your father rolling around with one of my married maids. That night I got angry and gave birth to you. When you were just born, I was completely exhausted, so I handed you over to the babysitter to take care of you. " Shen Zi Yao choked with emotions: "But, in the next second, someone brought out the divorce agreement, saying that Lin Yu Xiang wanted to divorce me. "At that time, I really was ??"
"I refuse to sign, but the other side is using your life as a threat. "Hold you over my head and say, 'If I don't sign for a divorce, I'll smash you to death!'" When Shen Zi Yao said till here, tears instantly fell like rain: "You are so young, yet you didn't even call out for your mother, how can I let you be harmed? So, without any hesitation, I signed off on the divorce. "
"I was too weak after the delivery and was secretly moved away. I wanted to ask them to let me see you, but they wouldn't let me. I was so desperate! Why did the people around me betray me? I hate myself so much. Why don't you let my brothers and sisters come and give birth with me? If the Shen Family was here, would I have been bullied like this? "
"I always thought that as long as I persisted, I would definitely be able to see you. But I was wrong again. Not long after I left school, your father remarried and married the maid who betrayed me. At that moment, my heart truly felt like it had died. "
"The Lin Clan declared to the public that after I gave birth to my child, I abandoned the divorce agreement and chose to leave. Actually, I was placed under house arrest and am unable to contact the outside world at all. " Shen Zi Yao continued: "One day, they said they would take me to find you. I happily went, but the next second, they knocked me out. When I woke up, I was already abroad. They threatened to kill you and your brother if I went back. "
"I compromise again. For you and Xiao Liu, I will grit my teeth and endure it. In a small town overseas, I hid my name, not even daring to contact your grandma or the others. Even when my father died, I could only kneel there and cry by myself. Every month they send me an update on your situation, warning me not to act rashly. I dare not take the risk. I don't know anything. China is too big, so it's too difficult to find out anything. "
"To put it bluntly, the Shen family is merely a rich person, they don't have that much energy to investigate the truth. What's more, I was married thousands of miles away, and the Shen family was beyond my reach. They didn't even know what happened to me. I have always been patiently enduring. It was only a few days ago when I did not receive any news from the Shen family that the Shen family had gone bankrupt did I dare to return back home. " Shen Zi Yao sobbed silently.
"Those days abroad were truly like a year's worth of time. I dare not admit my identity to anyone, even my creations, dare not sign my own name. Even my friends, I dare not admit this to anyone. I can only say that I like my life abroad and do not want to come back. " Shen Zi Yao continued to speak: "I was afraid that because of my carelessness, the calamity would fall upon you and Xiao Liu. Oh right, Xiao Qi, where's your brother? Where is he? "
Shen Qi looked at Shen Zi Yao's eyes that were filled with faint anticipation, yet, she could not say a single word.
Shen Gang, he lied to himself!
He actually said that his mother left on her own accord!
He had always felt that something was wrong.
Even if his mother didn't care about him, how could she possibly ignore her brother?
Even if mom hated dad, she wouldn't hate him and her brother!
After so many years, why was there no news from her at all?
After so many years, Mom's hatred should have disappeared no matter how much she hated him.
Why was there no news of him?
Why couldn't anyone find out anything about her mother?
Why did her mother hide the news so thoroughly?
So this was the reason for all of this!
Shen Zi Yao saw that something was wrong with Shen Qi's expression and immediately panicked. She grabbed onto Shen Qi's wrist. "He ??"
Seeing that Shen Zi Yao's face was extremely pale, Shen Qi immediately regained her senses and anxiously explained, "Mother, don't be anxious, listen to me. Big brother is fine, big brother is just sick, he's going to get better soon! Besides, I've already contacted my grandma and the others. Mom, we can go home now! No one can threaten us anymore. No one can hurt us anymore! "
"What happened?" Shen Zi Yao asked anxiously, "When I was being threatened, how were you guys?"
Shen Qi sighed. It was about time she let her mother know about these things.
Sooner or later, he wouldn't be able to hide it.
Thus, Shen Qi told the most important details that she knew to Shen Zi Yao.
As Shen Qi explained, Shen Zi Yao cried.
As she finished, the mother and daughter hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Xu Yun Xi walked around Liu Yi and saw this scene.
When they first saw Shen Qi crying so miserably, Liu Yi and Xu Yun Xi were only surprised. But now, seeing Shen Zi Yao also crying together, they felt horrified.
Xu Yun Xi and Liu Yi looked at each other. Both of them had a baffled expression, as they did not know what terrifying thing had happened.
When Shen Qi saw that Xu Yun Xi and Liu Yi had returned, she quickly wiped her tears and said, "We're fine."
Shen Zi Yao also stood up, and said: "Let's go, stop talking outside, we'll talk when we get back."
After saying that, Shen Zi Yao reached out and pulled Shen Qi's hand, pulling her back into the Sacred Hall.
"What the hell is going on?" Xu Yun Xi could not hold it in anymore.
She was impatient to begin with.
When encountering something like this, of course he had to get to the bottom of it.
Shen Zi Yao had already held Shen Qi's hand to wash her face, and said to Xu Yun Xi and Liu Yi: "Come, I have something to tell you."
After Xu Yun Xi and Liu Yi sat down, Shen Zi Yao said, "I want to apologize to you two first. I'm sorry, I've been hiding my true identity from you all these years. I've been abroad all these years, not because I like the environment, but because I had to. Only today do I know how foolish I am, to have been tricked by others for over twenty years. "
