Chapter 115.1 The Research Fanatic Who Lost His Child (1)
The two girls standing next to him saw the old lady was about to faint from crying and quickly helped her.
Great Grandma, take it easy, for now, we dont know how Aunt is doing yet.
How else could she be doing?! Shes in the hospital!!
The old lady stared at Lin Shiheng with anger and resentment, as if she wanted to pounce on him and tear him apart. She was a tough woman that grew up doing farm work. She was so strong for her age that the two girls could barely hold on.
It was Lin Shiheng who held out his hancl and waved, Its alright. let go of your hands.
He was an elder and should be listened to. The two girls looked at each other and hesitantly let go of their hands.
As soon as they let go, the old lady rushecl up and started slapping Lin Shiheng on the shoulder, cursing, I shouldnt have brought you home in the first place, I shouldnt have paid for your schooling. Youre heartless. Treating my granddaughter like this... what did my granddaughter do wrong?! You have no conscience, you have no conscience ..."
At first. she used a lot of force on her hands, but when she realisecl that Lin Shiheng didn't dodge or evade but stood still and allowed himself to be hit, the force on her hands gradually decreasecl. Her wrinkled face was covered with tears, and her words were full of frustration.
I... shouldnt have agreed to let her be with you. Ingrate, ingrate!!!"
Grandma.
Lin Shiheng just stood there and let her vent. When he saw that the old lady was done venting, he finally opened his mouth, You really misunderstood. Chu Chu didnt tell me she was sick, I only found out about it just now."
Oh.
The old lady sneered with tears on her face, "Would it be useful for her to tell you? Youve been married to Chu Chu for so many years, how many times have you carecl for her? After you lost the baby, when Chu Chu kept looking for the baby until she fainted, I called you over to the hospital to take a look, but you didnt even do that! Why?! Isnt he your child? Isnt he your own? You lost him ... you lost him when he was so young. After all these years... I dont know how much he has suffered, how much he has endurecl...
At some point, the old lady shed more tears, and her wrinkled hancl pressed against her heart. This startled the two young girls. They rushed up, calling out to their grandmother with a cry.
You dont care about anything! From the beginning, I had to do everything ... Are you one of those people? After losing a child for so long, you think theres no hope, and you dont want to look for him ..."
The old lady felt disheartened when she said that.
Not only because of her own granddaughter and great-grandson but also because of the sinner in front of her. He was a child she had raisecl, but right now she hated him beyond measure.
Why was he so callous? Why wasnt he even reacting to the loss of his only blood relative?
The old lady looked at the man standing in front of her. He was 35 years old. the best age for a man. Because of his excellent appearance. he looked younger than his actual age. He wore exquisite clothes and an expensive watch. With a single glance, people knew he was living a good life.
At the moment. his eyebrows were tightly knit. and he looked at her with worry in his eyes. But was the point of worrying? No matter what she said, he wouldnt say a word and would spencl all his time in that damn lab, not caring about his own child.
It was reasonable to say that, after losing the child for 10 years, the grief and sorrow should have subsided and the old lady was a bit overreacting. However, 10 years ago, when they first lost the child. Lin Shiheng, the biological father, only went searching with them for 2 hours and then rushed back to the lab.
At that time. her granddaughter fainted from the shock and hadnt been in a good state of mincl since she woke up. Only the old lady accompanied her. Because the police said the child might have been taken out of the city, they spent the cold winter months with leaflets bearing the childs picture, asking travellers passing by, one by one, if they had seen the child.
At that time, where was Lin Shiheng?
Even after that, he hunkered down in the lab in silence. One time, when Chu Chu was out looking for their child. her wallet was stolen, and she broke a foot. She called him to pick her up, but on the phone, he actually said that his experiment was at a critical moment.
Has there ever been such a husband?! Such a father?!
The more she thought about it. the colder her heart felt. A sharp stabbing pain passecl through her heart, accompanied by the suffocating feeling of not being able to breathe.
Great Grandma!!
Great Grandma, whats wrong!?
The two young girls panicked and rushed to support her as she slowly fell. However. they were too young to support an adult. even with their combinecl strength.
Just as the old lady was about to fall down. a pair of hands suddenly grasped her hands. Both hands were colder than hers.
The old woman could barely open her eyes but saw Lin Shiheng in front of her.
There was anxiety in his eyes, as well as helplessness and worry. He lifted the old lady up with one hand, patted the dust off the old lady, and quickly whispered some words into her ear as she stood up.
Grandma, there are people watching me here. I cant explain it in a few words. Trust me, Im sure I can get Xuan Xuan back."
The old ladys body shook. She looked suspiciously at the man in front of her. His forehead was covered in a cold sweat, and his eyebrows slightly frowned as he gave her a wink. His face maintained the helplessness, but it had a faint hint of anxiety.
It looked as if he was hiding something and was restrained by someone.
Although she didnt know what the situation was, she had become a widow at 19 and had brought up her son on her own. So naturally, she wouldnt be a fool.
Especially, having lived through the most turbulent times in the country, she had to be especially sensitive to such things. The old lady didnt think Lin Shiheng would make up some nonsense to fool her, and while a million possibilities flashed through her mind in a split second, she stood firm.
As if he thought she was thinly dressecl. the man in front of her took off his own jacket and draped it over her, taking the opportunity to whisper quickly as he straightened it, Treat me as you have done before, so no one will notice."
The old lady instantly reacted, speaking out loud and cursing, Bastard!!! I dont want your jacket!!!"
She grabbed the jacket on her shoulders, flung it on the ground, and spoke to her two unwitting great-granddaughters, Si Si, Nian Nian, lets go, come with me to see your Aunt!"
Ah! Great Grandma. please slow down!"
Great Grandma, Aunts room is this way..."
Held by her two great-granddaughters, the old lady turnecl around and angrily stared at Lin Shiheng, who was standing in the middle of the corridor.
He stood there, not picking up his jacket from the floor, but watched them leave in silence. His expression clearly didn't reveal any difficulty, but his whole person seemed to have some sort of loneliness.
Whats going on? Why was someone watching him? Wasnt he just a researcher?
Could it be that he really had some difficulties?
Watching the old woman leave, Lin Shiheng picked up his jacket. went downstairs and bought a laptop from the store next to the hospital.
With a new computer, he went back to the hospital, sat on a bench and started to type on the keyboard.
The original owner had no difficulties, but Lin Shiheng could have them.
Quickly mulling over his plan. Lin Shiheng closed his laptop.
The someone watching nonsense...
Of course, was made up.
The old lady was old, cautious. and had experienced the most chaotic times in China. Even though she was still young at that time, it was enough for her to remember. Therefore. even if young people didnt believe that kincl of thing, she would certainly believe it.
As long as she believecl it, the rest of the plan would be easier.
The original owners memory was rather dry and wasnt that long.
He was from the same village as the old lady and was the same age as her granddaughter, who later became his wife.
When the original owner was 5 years old, his parents died in a car accident, and his custocly went to his uncle. Raising ones own child was hard enough in a run-down village, and raising the child of another family member made it very unpleasant.
In particular, his parents were poor, so they didn't leave him any inheritance. They both fell off a hill and died. so there was no insurance. Without any benefits, who would want to raise a child in vain?
However, this child was too old to be thrown away, so his aunt and uncle could only raise him with scornful faces. They wouldnt always feed him. Whenever they gave their own child a good meal, they would dismiss the original owner.
He wasnt stupicl. but he didn't resent them. He knew that it was a difficult time, especially in a run-down village. It was good enough that his aunt and uncle were willing to provide for him, and he shouldnt expect more.
When he was hungry, he went to the river to catch fish by himself. The river was very deep, and it was too dangerous for him to go into the river as a child. He once fell in and almost drowned, but he was rescued by the old lady.
The old lady became a widow at an early age and lived with her son. Later, her son grew up and went to work in the city. After getting married, both her son and his wife had to work in the city, and no one could take care of the children. They had two daughters, the older one was allowed to stay at school. but the younger one had to be taken care of.
Therefore. the old woman had brought up her granddaughter. She didnt favor boys over girls. She loved her granddaughter with all her heart and loved anything connected to her granddaughter. She couldnt bear the thought of the original owner, at such a young age, suffering so much, so she always gave him a hand.
When his uncle and aunt saw that, they pretended not to know. They were naturally happy to see someone helping them to share the burden.
Soon, the original owner was at the age where he should go to school. The original owner wanted to go to school, but his aunt and uncle were unwilling to pay for it. Even if he was willing to write a debt note, he was still just a child. Who would believe that he would pay back the money when he grew up?
