Chapter 120 The Research Maniac Who Lost His Child (6) (1/2)

When the door of the guard room was opened, the students who had seen them coming out from the glass had already left the glass in a hurry, pretending to be serious, saying, "We are far away and not peeking," but their eyes kept glancing at the faces of the people who came out one after another.

"Go away! Why are you looking around after school instead of going home!"

The principal was in a bad mood. He was reading in the office, but he received three calls in a row, asking him what was going on and how he had offended Professor Lin. Now the military was asking for his contact information, and it looked like they were going to investigate him.

How could he know what was going on? He didn't even know who Professor Lin was. He was wrongly accused!

He rushed over to deal with it, but the result was that a female student cheated him out of money and he turned the tables. If it was an ordinary child who was cheated, the principal would at most sigh that students nowadays are more cunning than others, and then deal with it according to school rules. But now it was a student of his school, who cheated a child who was said to be a national high-end talent and whose files were encrypted by the military.

If they just cheated someone, it would be fine. The guard of their school also had a conflict with the other party. The principal of No. 1 Middle School is usually considered to be steady, but he couldn't help but be nervous after receiving calls from several powerful people in a row.

No matter who this Professor Lin is, he must handle this matter today properly!

A group of students were scolded and ran away. Some of the brave ones laughed and explained: "We agreed to play basketball in the square."

"Then go ahead, what are you waiting for at the school gate!"

The principal didn't have time to talk to these little guys now. He scolded them a few words and turned his attention to Lin Shiheng again.

"Mr. Lin, let's deal with this matter. Before tomorrow morning's exercise, I will ask Zou Le to read an apology statement in front of all the students in the school."

"Okay, thank you, Principal Ma."

Lin Shiheng did not show his displeasure to others, and smiled gently, "Then we will leave first. I will bother you again tomorrow."

"Oh, it's okay, it's because our school didn't teach the students well." Although he took all the blame, he wished in his heart that he had never let Zou Le enter No. 1 Middle School. What kind of child is this.

After exchanging greetings, Lin Shiheng touched Wang Xuan's head: "Xuanxuan, let's go, your great-grandmother is waiting at home."

Wang Xuan nodded first, then thought of something, first looked up at the shameless students who stayed there, and when he saw the student who lent him a pen, he took out the pen from his pocket and walked over.

He handed the pen over, and seeing that the other party took it without reacting, he made a "thank you" gesture.

The student who borrowed the pen looked at it blankly, obviously not understanding it.

Zhou Chuchu walked forward, her voice was a little hoarse because of crying before, but she was in good spirits. She smiled and said to the student in a gentle voice: "My Xuanxuan says thank you."

"Ah, you're welcome..."

The student was not very old, and when he saw such a beautiful woman talking to him in such a gentle voice, his face immediately turned red and he waved his hand quickly.

He actually didn't want to get the pen back when he threw it out. It was just a pen, he had a lot of them, and he gave the pen just to watch the fun.

As a result, the pen was returned so solemnly, which made him feel a little embarrassed on the one hand, but on the other hand, he had a good impression of Wang Xuan who came to thank him in such a chaotic situation.

Although he was dumb, he borrowed and returned it. He was not like Zou Le, who looked like a princess and actually engaged in money-making activities.

Seeing this scene, the principal, who was in a bad mood because his school had a bad student like Zou Le and offended a professor of unknown origin, was finally happy.

Look, their school is not only full of students like Zou Le, but also kind-hearted students who help them in times of need.

In order to express his apology and courtesy, Principal Ma accompanied them to the car and was relieved when he saw them leave.

On the other side, the unwilling Zou father saw the hard-to-talk Lin family leave, and went to Principal Ma again, trying to plead for mercy.

"Principal Ma, can you help me turn this around? My daughter Lele is too young and doesn't know much, but we can't ruin her life just because she did something wrong, right?"

He said sincerely, "You work in education, you should know that children of this age are a little naughty, and it's me and her mother who didn't take good care of her. How about this, we write a letter of guarantee and promise not to make the same mistake again, okay?"

As he said this, Zou's father smiled sincerely, and said unintentionally, "Lele's cousin also works in the Education Bureau, and he is a big leader. He often talks to us about the education of children. The child just made a mistake once, and there is really no need to make such a big fuss. I think Mr. Lin's attitude is a bit sharp, and he is also angry. Let's talk about it in a few days when everyone has calmed down, okay?"

Of course, he deliberately mentioned Zou Le's cousin. According to Zou's father's idea, Principal Ma would be willing to help him deal with it if he said this, but he didn't expect that Principal Ma's face had already darkened as soon as he finished speaking.

"She cheated people out of tens of thousands of dollars and refused to admit it. She also threw dirty water on the head of a child who can't speak. Is this naughty?! This is vicious!!"

He didn't care about Zou Le's mood at all. After knowing the whole story, the word vicious is indeed the best word to describe Zou Le.

"As a father, we can understand your feelings, but you just saw the surveillance. Ah, she cheated people out of money by relying on her inability to speak, and threw away the pens she used to write. Is she a student or a robber? Looking at a good little girl, how can she be so vicious? Even if she fights with others, I, as the principal, can say that the child is naughty. Cheating a child with a physical disability is a character problem!"

After Principal Ma finished speaking, he didn't even look at Zou Le's pale face. He went straight to Zou's father with an ugly face and continued:

"You don't need to say more. I know that Zou Le has excellent grades, but the school should not only teach learning, but also morality. Today we won't let her know what the price of doing such a thing will be. Next time She will do it again. If you really want to do it for your daughter's sake, let her read out her apology statement tomorrow, so that Mr. and Mrs. Lin won't get angry and sue your daughter. That would be a big deal!"

"So, let's stop here today. Take Zou Le back first and let her write a good apology statement. Make sure every word is true and don't avoid the truth. You just heard that her family will come to listen tomorrow. If something goes wrong, you won't be happy if it ends up in a lawsuit. I have a lot of things to do, so I'll leave first. If you have any questions, please contact Zou Le's head teacher."

Zou's father never expected the principal to be so tough. He had clearly moved out his relatives who worked in the Education Bureau.

"Principal Ma! ! Principal Ma!"

After calling out twice in a hurry without getting a response, Zou's father could only grit his teeth and retract his gaze in the direction where the principal left. He put down his hand with a sinister look in his eyes.

Zou Le, who was standing by, saw that her father's plea was useless, and immediately burst into tears, begging in a sobbing voice: "Dad, I can't read the apology statement. If the whole school knows about this, how can I stay in school..."

Zou's father turned around and slapped her fiercely.

"You knew that you would not be able to stay in school if you did this! Why did I raise a daughter like you!"

Zou Le was not only spoiled but also had never been touched by her parents since she was a child. Today, she was slapped twice in a row, and this slap was in front of so many students, and her tears flowed even more.

Seeing that her father was still angry, Zou Le did not dare to make trouble for him, and could only lower her head to cover the half of her cheek that was beaten and cry silently.

If she had known this earlier, she would have apologized directly at the door at that time.

Unfortunately, it is too late to think about anything now.

The father and daughter were in low spirits, but Wang Xuan in the car did not change from a sigh of relief to anxiety and gratitude until he got in the car and looked at the beautiful and spacious space inside.

When Wang Xuan was held in Mrs. Lin's arms and heard her say that she was his mother, he felt like a dream come true.

But soon, seeing Mr. and Mrs. Lin stand up for him as his parents, forcefully calling the police to retrieve the surveillance, and forcing the other party to apologize, the huge surprise in Wang Xuan's heart gradually fell.

He began to realize that perhaps this was simply a lie made up by Mr. and Mrs. Lin in order to help him better.

When Wang Xuan was quiet just now, he was actually thinking all the time.

I have to say that he was really getting happier and happier at the beginning, because after the police told him that his parents had news and he refused, Mr. and Mrs. Lin came to the dilapidated building.

Is it possible that his parents really came to see him?

Mr. Lin's fatherly love and teaching, Mrs. Lin's gentle and loving eyes, and even his great-grandmother loved him so much. They were like warm water poured into cold water, melting the coldness in Wang Xuan's heart that he thought was indestructible.

Who else would treat him like this except his closest relatives?

But soon, Wang Xuan denied it himself.

It was because he was too different from Mr. and Mrs. Lin.

In terms of appearance, Mr. Lin was gentle and handsome, and his face was more beautiful than the stars on TV. Mrs. Lin was beautiful and gentle, and her gentle temperament always made everyone smile at her.

On the other hand, Wang Xuan was dark and thin. He dreamed several times that he was a child of the Lin family. When he woke up and looked at himself in the mirror, he would quickly wake up again.

There were many differences between him and them, whether in appearance or other aspects.

Mr. Lin seemed to be a walking knowledge base. He could easily pick up anything, and even read the newspaper at an extremely fast speed.

Mrs. Lin could do many things. She could draw, make clothes, and even use discarded strips of cloth to sew all kinds of cute dolls for him.

Wang Xuan worked hard to learn the periodic table and memorize music scores. Occasionally, on the way to the city, he would pick some grass and try to make a grasshopper like Mr. Lin. However, no matter how hard he tried, the leaves that were so well-behaved in Mr. Lin's hands became disobedient in his hands. After trying several times, Wang Xuan could only cross two caterpillar grasses and tie them together to make a little rabbit.

In fact, he has always been trying to get closer to Mr. and Mrs. Lin. He began to consciously exercise and wanted to be as good as Mr. Lin. He also began to spend a few cents to buy some old newspapers from the waste paper collector and take them home to read. When he found the waste fabrics that he didn't use at home, he tried to take out the needle and thread and planned to make various small dolls given to him by Mrs. Lin.

But he was too stupid. Even if he tried very hard, he still couldn't be like Mr. and Mrs. Lin.

Wang Xuan also imagined what their children would look like.

It is easy to imagine that if it is a boy, he must be like a prince, as smart as Mr. Lin, and must be very good at studying. If it is a girl, she is a little princess, wearing a beautiful skirt, with beautiful pigtails, and speaking like Mrs. Lin, gentle and kind.

But no matter how you imagine it, the picture that comes out has nothing to do with Wang Xuan himself.

He is like an ant that fell into the sewage, looking up at the straight and beautiful towering tree, struggling to get ashore in the water, wanting to be as good as the tree.

But how can an ant become a tree? It's just wishful thinking.

The boy who had been sitting silently beside Zhou Chuchu since getting on the car leaned his head slightly against the car window, opened his eyes that had been closed all the time, looked at the scenery flashing outside the window, and hid the tears in his eyes.

When he first got on the car, he gestured in sign language and said that he was carsick.

Mrs. Lin considerately asked him to lean on her shoulder, but Wang Xuan refused and leaned against the car window.

Mr. Lin turned off the music in the car so as not to disturb him. At this moment, the car was silent.

Actually, he lied. He was not carsick. He just didn't want to hear Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin tell him the truth.

It was the first time that Wang Xuan lied to someone he wanted to get close to. He felt guilty and lost.

He felt that he was too shameless and greedy.

He got help, but still wanted more.

If it was Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin, it would definitely not be like this.

But... I can't bear it.

I can't bear to open my eyes, sit up, and listen to Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin tell him the truth.

Just this time.

Wang Xuan prayed in his heart.

Just this time, just be willful for this time.

Let him pretend that this is his father and mother, this is his family.

They love him in the way they love their own children. They protect and help him not because of sympathy, but because they love him.

He fantasized about it once, and when the car arrived at the destination, he would show a perfect smile of gratitude on his face.

He would not show his disappointment or sadness.

He would say thank you to Mr. and Mrs. Lin, instead of secretly calling them mom and dad in his heart.

Wang Xuan looked at the various scenery outside the window, his eyelashes blinking frequently, repeatedly trying to hide the surging tears.

He opened his mouth and silently called out the lip shape at an angle that the other two people in the car could not see.

Dad, Mom...

The satisfaction he got from calling out these two names was much greater than Wang Xuan had imagined, so he smiled very relaxedly, and the bitterness in his eyes turned into shyness and joy.

He leaned against the window, looked out the window, felt the satisfaction in his heart, and prayed silently in his heart.

I hope the journey back will be slower, slower.

The car slowly stopped. Lin Shiheng, who was sitting in the driver's seat and concentrating on driving, unbuckled his seat belt, turned around and smiled at his wife and children: "Let's go, let's eat, grandma must be impatient."

Zhou Chuchu was afraid of disturbing the child who fell asleep due to motion sickness. Even though she had a lot of things to say to her son, and wanted to ask him what he had suffered when he was abducted and what he wanted after returning home, she still tried to hold back and didn't say a word all the way.

Although she didn't say a word, her pretty face showed some smiles from time to time. When she thought of the child's suffering, the smile turned into heartache.

She cried and laughed all the way, and I don't know how many times she wiped her eyes quietly, and finally got home. Thinking that the child didn't reject her when they just met, Zhou Chuchu was full of joy. She couldn't wait to take Xuanxuan home and protect him well.

Hearing her husband's reminder, Zhou Chuchu first turned sideways to look at her son. When she saw Wang Xuan, who had been leaning against the window, sitting up, she smiled and turned sideways to help him unbuckle his seat belt.

"Let's go, Xuanxuan. You like to eat fish. Your great-grandmother bought freshly caught fish. She is very good at cooking fish."

Wang Xuan listened to this as if a mother was saying something very ordinary to her son, and the tears that had been suppressed with great difficulty almost came up again.

He had suffered a lot since he was a child. At the beginning, he cried whenever he suffered and felt uncomfortable, but now he hardly sheds tears.

Wang Xuan thought he was strong.

But only now did he realize that it was not only pain that made a person cry, but also happiness.

He pursed his lips, swallowed the bitterness in his heart, tried to show a grateful smile on his face, and made a sign language to Zhou Chuchu.

[No need, I am very grateful to you and Uncle Lin today. I am a little tired today, so I will go back to rest first. ]

Wang Xuan was panicked when he saw the smile on Zhou Chuchu's face gradually disappear, turned into a daze, and his eyes were full of pain. He looked at himself and tears fell one by one.

He was almost at a loss and frantically looked for toilet paper, trying to pass it to Zhou Chuchu to wipe her tears.

Zhou Chuchu didn't take it. She was still crying, crying very sadly, and the whole person seemed to be broken.

Wang Xuan made a sign language in a panic: [What's wrong with you? Did I make you angry? 】

"Xuanxuan, we really didn't lose you on purpose, really..."

Zhou Chuchu's tears were blurred by crying. She always cried silently, and even if she made a sound, it was a soft sob, but this time, she couldn't control herself.

When Wang Xuan refused to recognize her child before, she felt a huge stone in her heart. If Lin Shiheng hadn't taken the initiative to bring her to Wang Xuan so that she could take care of the child nearby, she would have collapsed long ago.

For a mother who has been insisting on finding her lost child for ten years, she finally found him, but the other party was unwilling to recognize him. The moment she heard the news, what she felt was not pain, but strong self-blame.

If he hadn't suffered outside and didn't dare to trust people anymore, how could he, a child who lived alone outside and was only fifteen years old, not be willing to return to his biological parents' home.

Zhou Chuchu grabbed Wang Xuan's arm, as if she had grabbed the last straw, fearing that if she let go, her child would disappear.

Under Wang Xuan's panicked and worried gaze, she pleaded almost helplessly: "We have been looking for you. We didn't give up on you. I, I looked in many places, I saw many children, many human trafficking organizations destroyed by the police, but, but I couldn't find you. There were so many, so many children, but you were not there..."

"Xuanxuan, please don't hate mom and dad, okay? We really, really tried our best..."

Zhou Chuchu cried and leaned her head on Wang Xuan's hard shoulders, crying and repeating: "I really tried my best..."

Wang Xuan's mind was blank.

Lin Shiheng, who was still sitting in front, kept looking back. When Wang Xuan looked over, he found that Mr. Lin, who he always thought was omnipotent, had red eyes.

He was just putting down his hand that was wiping his eyes, and when he saw Wang Xuan looking at him, he said in a hoarse voice, "Xuanxuan, don't blame you|Mom, I lost you. She has been looking for you for the past ten years and has never given up. I know you must have gone through something that made you refuse to recognize us. Please believe mom and dad, we will never let you get hurt again."

Dad, mom...

Wang Xuan was almost at a loss, but at the same time, great joy quickly filled his heart.

He pinched his arm hard.

It hurt.

But the pain was sweet.

Mr. Lin said that he was the father.

Mrs. Lin said that she was the mother.

They said that he was their child.

Wang Xuan could hear his heart beating violently.

Bang——

Bang——

It seemed like a joyful accompaniment, announcing that his dream had come true.

With this accompaniment, he reached out and helped Zhou Chuchu, who was crying on his shoulder, up.

When she looked at him with sobs and pleading, Wang Xuan reached out his hand and signed to her.

[Mom. ]

Then he turned around and looked at Lin Shiheng.

[Dad. ]

There were still tears on Wang Xuan's face, but he suddenly smiled happily.

He laughed and cried at the same time.

[Thank you for finding me. ]

Thank you for treating me so gently and telling me:

I am your child.
