The time when he broke up with Ye Qichen was the saddest period for Xu Shuyao, and her father Xu Licheng also passed away during that period.

In the blink of an eye, all lovers and relatives were gone, and she had nothing left.

After holding the funeral for his father, Xu Shuyao accidentally found out that she was pregnant, and it had been more than two months.

The appearance of this child made her feel that she had not been abandoned by this world. She wanted to keep this child, not because she wanted to reunite with Ye Qichen, but because this child became her hope for her to survive.

She had already planned to leave Haicheng, go to a brand new place, and start a new life.

Then, she saw the news report on TV that Ye Qichen died in a car accident.

He is dead.

After leaving such a big scar in her heart, he died like this.

It was obvious that the last time they broke up, he was still telling her that he was going to get married and that he was going to marry another woman.

If some people are still alive, they may really never interact with each other in the future. But when they die, all the memories about him will appear in their minds without warning, so vivid and so

Irresistible.

Xu Yan learned some of the truth about that year from Huo Chen, and suddenly wanted to call Ye Qichen a fool.

In order to avenge his grandparents, he was struggling to find any evidence of Tan Hongwei's crime, so he had to pretend to cooperate with Tan Hongwei's Tengfei Group. He was afraid that Xu Shuyao would be in danger and be implicated, so he proposed to break up, and the reason he used was to ask for it.

Married to someone else.

"Actually... he had already thought about this last decision to burn his boats." Huo Chen raised his head and poured a glass of wine, sighed: "That's why he broke up with your mother in advance."

Xu Yan held the wine glass tightly and asked, "What's next? Uncle Chen, why didn't you become a policeman afterward?"

"Because justice cannot be advanced." Huo Chen said slowly: "At that time, the police had Tan Hongwei's protection umbrella. The evidence I finally found was directly destroyed. At that time, both of me and him were

Very desperate. He used the entire Ye family's enterprise to almost go bankrupt. Tan Hongwei's Tengfei Group was lost, and the forces behind him seemed to be planning to give up on him and arrange for Tan Hongwei to escape."

Something seemed to be blocked in Xu Yan's throat. He took a sip of wine and asked, "So, he went to die with Tan Hongwei?"

Huo Chen sneered and replied for a long time: "Yes."

A heavy word of um was pressed on Xu Yan's heart in an instant.

At that time, Ye Qichen had nothing? He tried all the way to the entire Ye family and finally had a glimmer of hope. How could he allow Tan Hongwei to escape abroad? In order to avenge his parents, he could only choose to use the most extreme one.

Way.

In the end, he succeeded, and he was gone.

"Because of this car accident, it attracted attention. Finally, the police set up a special task force to investigate, and then they found out Tan Hongwei and the forces behind him. After the case was over... I resigned." Huo Chen whispered: "I think I think it's not a good idea."

If the truth and justice of the case need to be fulfilled at such a tragic price, there is no meaning at all."

"Then... does my mom know all this?"

"I told her later." Huo Chen's voice was a little hoarse: "I still remember that... she came to ask me with her big belly, whether the news was true, and I couldn't lie to her."

He told Xu Shuyao everything, and told her that Ye Qichen was dead.

But Xu Shuyao didn't even see Ye Qichen's body. Huo Chen told her that his body was taken away by his nephew Ye Ming and cremated.

Even Jiarong Group has been listed and sold.

Xu Shuyao had to believe that Ye Qichen was really dead.

Walking out of Huo Chen's bar, Xu Yan walked home in a heavy mood.

After parting in the cafe during the day, Xu Shuyao went home first. Huo Chen took Xu Yan to the bar and talked about what happened to Xu Yan during that year while drinking.

Xu Yan combined the things he knew in another time and space, and roughly pieced together the whole thing. He knew that the truth was far more cruel than he thought.

In the end, he could only say one thing, makes people feel bad.

Xu Shuyao prepared dinner and was waiting for Xu Yan to come back. Seeing Xu Yan changing shoes at the door, she chuckled and asked, "Why didn't you bring Huo Chen to have dinner?"

Xu Yan glanced at the table and said silently: "You didn't prepare it for Uncle Chen, would you tell him to come and eat?"

"If he comes, just order another takeaway." Xu Shuyao said angrily: "I'm poor enough, go wash your hands."

Xu Yan silently turned around and went to the bathroom. After washing his hands, he saw Xu Shuyao sitting at the table. He suddenly stepped forward and hugged her behind him.

Xu Shuyao was stunned: "What's wrong?"

He choked up and said, "Mom, I know everything."

Xu Shuyao was silent, she patted his hand gently: "Sit down and have a meal."

"I don't, I just want to hug you." Xu Yan felt that he must be in need of his own hug very much.

Xu Shuyao had no choice but to hold the bowl silently: "Then don't disturb me for dinner, okay?"

Xu Yan: "..." The tears that he had finally brewed were lost by a fucking sentence.

Xu Yan sat down, Xu Shuyao picked up food for him, and said, "Actually, I should have told you these things earlier, but I don't know how to tell you."

"When you were a child, you often asked me where your father was. You were too young at that time, and I told you, but you might not understand." Xu Shuyao said: "Later, when you grew up, you stopped asking your father. I

Thinking, after all these years, you have come here without a father. What are you doing when you tell you those bad things? I just hope you grow up happily, just be fine."

Xu Yan looked at his mother.

"However, my mother still wants to say sorry to you. It was something I ignored, as a child, you desire the most in your heart."

Mom and dad are composed of a family, and every child will long for a complete home. That's why her son thought about introducing Huo Chen to her.

Huo Chen and Xu Yan have known each other for more than six years behind their backs, and now they have asked Huo Chen to go on a blind date with him. Her son should have regarded Huo Chen as his father.

Xu Yan shook his head: "Mom, you are not wrong. It's because I'm not good. I was too willful before."

"Okay, okay, don't be sensational. Let's have a meal first, it's all cold."

——

Before Xu Yan's college entrance examination results were released, he contacted a driving school himself and planned to take the driver's license.

Xu Shuyao was quite puzzled: "You are quite active. After learning a driver's license, are you still planning to buy a car?"

Xu Yan nodded: "Yes, I will take you to travel around the world by myself."

"I think it's pretty beautiful." Xu Shuyao smiled.

Xu Yan said seriously: "Mom, you have raised me in the past eighteen years, and I will support you in the next half of my life."

"Tsk, I'm just waiting for your words, otherwise I'd throw you away." Xu Shuyao joked, "Or come to our store first and serve as a signboard for me for a few days?"

The place they are in is an ancient town in Jiangnan. When the senior high school students finished the exam, there are many students coming here for tourism. Xu Shuyao's store has not been enough staff these days and is too busy to get busy.

Xu Yan nodded: "No problem."

Xu Shuyao's cooking skills were when she went to school and worked, and in a restaurant, she learned from a chef. Later, she left Ye Qichen and came here alone, using the breakup fee given by Ye Qichen and the remaining legacy of Xu Licheng.

A small restaurant.

The size of the restaurant is pretty good now, and the business is particularly good during the peak tourist season.

Xu Yan changed into the waiter's clothes and served the customers. His handsome appearance instantly added a lot of popularity to the store. There were quite a few young people coming in.

They all came for Xu Yan.

There were even many girls who were brave enough to ask Xu Yan for WeChat, but Xu Yan ignored it at the beginning.

Xu Shuyao soon introduced a new policy, and if you spend 1,000 yuan, you can get to Xu Yan’s WeChat.

Xu Yan: "..." Mom, I sold your son for 1,000 yuan?

The restaurant manager thinks that their boss is really a business genius.

The restaurant was operated until after 11 o'clock in the evening, and the customers gradually disappeared. Xu Yan rubbed his already stiff waist and was so tired.

The mother and son went home together and walked in the ancient town where it was already late at night.

Xu Yan thought that when there was no waiter in the restaurant in the past, her mother took all the work alone. She had only been doing it for a day and was so tired. She was even more tired in those years.

Although he is eighteen now, his psychological age is already over twenty. He no longer has the impulse and recklessness he used to be. When he thinks about things, he will involuntarily think of more.

It turns out that only when I grow up can I know how difficult it was for my mother back then.

He asked, "Mom, when you were the most tired, you really didn't think about finding someone to rely on?"

Xu Shuyao paused and smiled: "Actually... I thought about it." She nodded and admitted.

"What about it later?" Xu Yan was curious.

"Later? Nothing later." Xu Shuyao shrugged.

It is not that easy for a woman to live with her children.

Xu Shuyao was also at the most vulnerable time, and she thought, why would she just take Xu Yan to find a reliable man to marry, at least she wouldn't have worked so hard.

When Xu Yan was two years old, this idea was particularly obvious in her mind.

During that period, after being introduced by someone, she kept going on blind dates and ended up in vain.

Xu Shuyao has good conditions, but when others heard that she had a two-year-old son, she hesitated. Later, she finally got a good condition and was willing to accept Xu Yan's.

There was a four-year-old child in that person's family. If Xu Shuyao married him, she would have to take care of two children at the same time. Of course, she would not have worked too hard because there were servants at home to help.

But in the end, Xu Shuyao refused and decided to raise Xu Yan alone no matter how hard or tired he was.

If you have a stepmother, you will have a stepfather. She cannot share her love with children other than Xu Yan. She doesn't want to see that her son will suffer any grievances because of her remarriage.

Later, Xu Yan grew up gradually and she didn't need to bother anymore, and her focus also shifted to the restaurant.

In a blink of an eye, eighteen years have passed, and she has not relied on anyone to raise her son.

Although she always disliked Xu Yan's poor grades and always caused trouble for her, Xu Yan was her pride from beginning to end.
