Chapter 177 The Past I Don’t Want to Recall (2)

In the Chu family compound in Zhengyang City, Zong Lan temporarily settled Zong Xinxin here and returned to the Zong family compound.

"Father, the person is brought back." Zong Lan entered a room and reported to an old man with gray hair: "Chu Zhengfan is dead, and Zong Xinxin is now locked in her room."

"Have you found out anything? Did that traitor send the information out?"

"No." Zong Lan said: "Chu Zhengfan's space window and mobile phone are monitored 24 hours a day, and he has no chance to send the information out. Now that he is dead, no one will know the content of the information!"

"What about Zong Xinxin, does she know? Her memory is very good. If Chu Zhengfan asked her to write down these things, if one day, this little girl learned the real cause of her father's death and leaked these things, it would be a disaster for our Zong family!"

"Who would believe what a little girl said?" Zong Lan said without comment.

"The enemies of the Zong family will believe it. They would rather kill a thousand people by mistake than let one go!" The old man said coldly: "Besides, Chu Zhengyang hasn't been caught yet, right?"

"He is weak now, what chance do he have to save Zong Xinxin?" Zong Lan said lightly: "I won't let these materials become a handle in the hands of others."

"I still believe in your ability, but this matter must be done well and all hidden dangers must be eliminated." The old man's voice gradually became low: "The Ji family attaches great importance to it. If the Ji family is dissatisfied, you should also understand the consequences."

"Yes, father!"

·······

Returning to the Chu family's house, Zong Lan entered Zong Xinxin's room. At this time, Zong Xinxin's eyes were dull, curled up on the bed, and kept muttering "Dad, Dad, Dad..."

Zong Lan frowned slightly, but then covered up the irritability on her face, replaced by a touch of tenderness. She gently sat next to Zong Xinxin and took her into her arms.

"Xinxin, tell mom, did Dad say anything to you?" Zong Lan asked while stroking Zong Xinxin's hair.

The gentle voice entered Zong Xinxin's ears, and Zong Xinxin's body trembled slightly, and then she leaned on her mother's arms and sobbed softly.

Zong Lan's eyes twitched slightly, and she felt extremely troubled, but at this time she could only suppress the restlessness in her heart and wait for Zong Xinxin's answer.

But...

The sobbing gradually subsided, replaced by steady breathing. After remembering too many things and the stimulation of her father's death, she was too tired, so she fell asleep.

Zong Lan frowned and wanted to wake Zong Xinxin, but looking at Zong Xinxin's peaceful sleeping face and the comfort of nestling in her arms, perhaps her heart softened a little at this moment, so she just put Zong Xinxin on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and then walked out.

"Mom, mom, who is she?"

Walking out of Zong Xinxin's room, a crisp voice suddenly sounded in front of her. Looking down, Zong Lan's expression softened instantly, and she hugged the little boy into her arms.

"Why is Han'er here?"

"Han'er misses mommy." Lu Zhehan put his little face against Zong Lan's face and said with a smile.

"Mom misses Han'er too." Zong Lan kissed Lu Zhehan on the face: "Where's your daddy?"

"Dad had something to do, so he sent me to the door and left." Lu Zhehan said, and then looked into the room: "Who is she?"

"She..." Zong Lan pondered for a while and said: "She is your sister."

"Sister?" Lu Zhehan tilted his head and asked with some doubts. Zong Lan smiled and didn't explain much, but said: "Mom is busy now, you stay here, and when mom comes back at noon, she will make you delicious food and buy you a Transformer, okay?"

"Well, Han'er will be obedient!"

After Zong Lan left, Lu Zhehan looked at the door of the room curiously and tried to open it, but found that he was not tall enough to hold the door, so he could only go to the living room to find a small stool and move it over.

Click!

After opening the door, Lu Zhehan walked in carefully, came to the bedside, stood on tiptoe, and saw the side profile of Zong Xinxin in her sleep.

"Sister!" Lu Zhehan whispered, perhaps because of his youth and innocence, the little boy showed a happy smile on his face: "Sister, sister!"

When Zong Xinxin opened his eyes again, looking at the white ceiling and chandelier, his eyes became red again.

"Sister... Sister..."

A murmur suddenly sounded in his ears. Zong Xinxin climbed up and came to the bedside. Looking down, a little boy was lying on the floor with his side, with a cheerful smile on his face, and he was also mumbling the word "sister" in his sleep.

Zong Xinxin looked at him curiously, got off the bed, squatted in front of him, and couldn't help but push him to wake him up.

Lu Zhehan rubbed his sleepy eyes, and when he saw Zong Xinxin, he suddenly became excited: "Sister."

"I'm not your sister." Zong Xinxin asked: "Who are you and why are you here?"

Lu Zhehan sat down obediently and faced Zong Xinxin. From this point, it can be seen that Zong Lan is very concerned about her son and teaches him etiquette very well.

"Sister, my name is Lu Zhehan, and my mother said you are my sister."

"Mom?" Zong Xinxin looked at Lu Zhehan in disbelief, and her voice trembled a little: "Is it... Zong Lan's mother?"

"Yes!" Lu Zhehan nodded heavily.

Zong Xinxin lowered her head, her eyes full of sadness. She understood what was going on. Her mother actually had other children, not the children born with her father.

Why is this happening? How did it become like this?

"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Lu Zhehan looked at Zong Xinxin's expression of wanting to cry, and asked anxiously: "Sister, don't cry, Han'er doesn't want to see you cry."

"I'm not crying!" Zong Xinxin opened the chubby hand that Lu Zhehan stretched out. Lu Zhehan looked at Zong Xinxin with a wronged face, and the next second, he cried loudly.

Zong Xinxin listened to the cry, and the grievances she had been feeling for a long time suddenly broke out, and she cried loudly with Lu Zhehan.

From childhood to adulthood, my mother and I were not very close, just like the intimacy between ordinary friends. She never took the initiative to care about me. Only my father had been taking care of me, but my father often asked me to do things I didn't understand. She never felt childhood.

What happened last night again, who can understand the pain in the heart of an eight-year-old girl?

The howling attracted the magicians of the Zong family, but they were helpless when they saw the two children crying, one big and one small. They were both the children of the head of the family, how to comfort them?

"Report to the head of the family?"

"No, you can listen to it yourself when you are tired of crying. Don't disturb the head of the family for such a small matter."

"Okay!"

The two children were tired of crying and stopped sobbing one after another, but because of this crying, the relationship between the two children was closer.

"Sister... hum... what is your name?" Lu Zhehan asked while sobbing.

"Zong Xinxin."

"Sister's name is so beautiful." Lu Zhehan said: "Sister, sister, why haven't I seen you before?"

Zong Xinxin fell silent. She didn't know how to answer. Tell Lu Zhehan the truth? No, he is still young and can't tell him these things.

Zong Xinxin wants to use her tenderness to protect this pure white half-brother who is like a piece of paper.

"Sister, can I take you out to play?"

"Yes, yes!"

The two children came to the backyard of the Chu family compound. Because Zong Xinxin didn't like winter, Chu Zhengfan specially spent a lot of money to invite a powerful magician to set up a magic formula here, making it spring-like all year round.

"Sister, butterfly, what is that big bird?" Lu Zhehan shouted excitedly as if he had opened the door to a new world.

"Let's catch butterflies together, okay?"

"Yes!"

The Zong family magicians watched this scene, and one of them asked: "Do you want to take Zong Xinxin back? The head of the family doesn't like her very much. If she is so close to the young master, what if the head of the family blames her..."

Another older magician said lightly: "Let them play for a while, there will be no such opportunity in the future?"

"Ah? What do you mean?"

"The young master will inherit the entire Zong family in the future, and the training must be extremely strict. How could there be a chance to contact her?"

"That's right, the young master After all, my father is a powerful mage, and Zong Xinxin's father is just an ordinary rich man. Zong Xinxin is lucky to awaken her magic talent. How high can her talent be? "

"That's what I mean."

Beside the pond, the brother and sister squatted at the edge and looked at the colorful fish swimming in the pond. Lu Zhehan waved his chubby hands excitedly: "Sister, that fish is so big, can I eat it?"

"No, ornamental fish can't be eaten!"

"Sister is so amazing, she seems to know everything." Lu Zhehan looked at Zong Xinxin with admiration.

Zong Xinxin laughed: "You will know everything in the future."

"Really?" Lu Zhehan asked happily.

"Really." Zong Xinxin touched Lu Zhehan's head: "You must become a smart and kind person in the future."

"Yeah!" Lu Zhehan nodded vigorously: "I will, I am a boy, I will protect my sister in the future!"

"Okay..."

Now Zong Xinxin still smiles softly when she recalls this day. This is the best time she has ever experienced, and it is not her father or mother who accompanies her, but her younger brother.

Happy times always pass quickly. At some point, Zong Lan appeared behind the two of them.

The smile on Zong Xinxin's face gradually disappeared. She pinched the hem of her clothes, lowered her head and did not speak.

"Mom, you're back!" Lu Zhehan threw himself into Zong Lan's arms, raised his head and looked expectantly: "Where are the Transformers?"

Zong Lan touched his head: "In the car, Han'er go get it yourself, okay?"

"Okay!" After running a few steps, Lu Zhehan stopped and turned to look at Zong Xinxin: "Sister, can you go with me?"

Zong Lan frowned slightly, and Zong Xinxin saw this scene and quickly said: "I'm not going."

"But..." Lu Zhehan was a little unhappy, walked over and held Zong Xinxin's hand: "Sister, go with me!"

Zong Xinxin hesitated, and Zong Lan said lightly: "Just go with him."

Zong Xinxin nodded, and then took a step. When he was about to reach the door, the excited Lu Zhehan let go of Zong Xinxin's little hand, took the lead in running towards the car, entered the back door of the car, and saw the Transformers at a glance.

"Wow, Transformers!"

Boom!

A loud noise!
