Chapter 281 United Front
For several days, Li Hanchuan did not look for Gao Zhirou, as if she had never appeared.
But the more Li Hanchuan acted like this, the more Su Xiaoxiao began to believe what Qian Duoduo said.
And since Gao Zhirou appeared, she could always see Li Hanchuan waking up in the middle of the night, and sometimes he would be haunted by nightmares and unable to sleep at night.
She still remembered that Huacheng once told her that Gao Zhirou was a nightmare to Li Hanchuan.
Therefore, she felt more and more that what happened seven years ago was not just as simple as Gao Zhirou walking away.
In the early morning, Su Xiaoxiao got up early and had breakfast with Li Hanchuan.
At the end of the day, she said with some uneasiness about this special day of the week, "Hanchuan, today is Friday. Should we... go to Maple Forest Garden to have dinner with grandpa at night?"
Li Hanchuan's hand holding the milk suddenly paused.
He knew that from the moment Gao Zhirou appeared, something was subtly changing.
Soon, he took a sip of milk as if nothing had happened at a speed that was not easy for others to notice. As the complicated emotions lingered in his heart, he swallowed the warm liquid together.
Then he said with a natural expression, "Of course."
In the evening, the two couples arrived at Fenglin Villa as usual.
The Li family's enthusiasm was as usual, and they greeted Su Xiaoxiao with greetings.
The only difference was that she could feel that while she was being cared about by them, everyone's eyes would always glance at Li Hanchuan from time to time.
At this time, Li Wanqing held her hand rather cautiously and said, "Susu, mom brought you some gifts from France. Come on, come up with me to have a look."
Su Xiaoxiao was suddenly confused. Since he brought a gift back, why did he give it to her today after so many days?
Sure enough, as soon as he entered the room, Li Wanqing's face suddenly darkened.
She stuffed the gift box into Su Xiaoxiao's hand. One second she was happy, but the next second she looked at her with a sad face and hesitated to speak.
Of course, Su Xiaoxiao also noticed something strange, "Mom, do you have something to say to me?"
She spoke naturally, and her intuition told her that this time it was definitely not about asking her if she was pregnant.
Li Wanqing's eyes filled with tears instantly, and she quickly held back the tears that were about to come out.
She took Su Xiaoxiao's hand and said earnestly, "Susu, Mom has something, I don't know how to tell you. It's about... Hanchuan's father..."
Li Hanchuan's father?
Su Xiaoxiao's curiosity suddenly grew wildly in her heart. Who was the father whose name was not even mentioned in Li Hanchuan's profile?
"Mom, if you have any questions, you might as well tell me."
Su Xiaoxiao did not show this curiosity on his face, but looked calm and relaxed.
Li Wanqing hesitated for a moment, not sure whether to tell everything about the past.
If Su Xiaoxiao knew what happened in the past, would she have any new views on the Li family?
After choking, she decided to hide it and asked in a deep voice: "Do you still remember the sandalwood-colored box in Gao Zhirou's hand?"
Of course Su Xiaoxiao remembered it. She also saw it in the hotel where Gao Zhirou stayed. Could it be...
"What's inside is Hanchuan's father!"
After Li Wanqing said this, her voice was choked again, and the warm liquid instantly moistened her eyes.
Su Xiaoxiao seemed quite surprised by this answer.
What surprised her was not Xu Hong's death, but that he was Li Hanchuan's father and Li Wanqing's wife. Logically speaking, even if he had passed away, they should bring him back alive and bury him.
But looking at Li Wanqing's appearance, there seemed to be something unspeakable.
Most importantly, why did his ashes come back with Gao Zhirou?
"Mom, I don't understand why..."
"Back then, Hanchuan and his father had an unpleasant quarrel over some things, and finally severed the relationship between father and son."
Li Wanqing evaded the important point and explained lightly. Although she knew that Su Xiaoxiao was full of doubts, she did not continue.
She sniffed sadly, swallowed back her tears, and continued to speak clearly, "Hanchuan's father's name is Xu Hong. Back then, when the father and son severed their relationship, Xu Hong once promised that in this life Even if he dies, he will never return to his country."
Only then did Su Xiaoxiao understand why Li Wanqing wanted to ask her for help.
Li Wanqing added, "When I went to France this time, I accidentally learned that he died of illness. After all, he is my husband and the father of Hanchuan and Nuanyang. Now that he has died in a foreign country, how can I bear to let him die?" Can’t your soul return to your hometown in the future?”
"Others say that debts are wiped out after death, and the deceased is the greatest! Su Su, you are Han Chuan's wife now and Xu Hong's daughter-in-law. Due to emotions and reasons, you should also call him dad. Can you help me? , help your dad to get Hanchuan to agree to let his father be buried in our Li family cemetery so that he can rest in peace?"
"This……"
Su Xiaoxiao had never seen Li Wanqing in such a fragile state. She wanted to help, but how could she be the one to decide what happened to Li Hanchuan?
"Mom also knows that this matter is a bit difficult, but Hanchuan is happy with you, and no matter what you do, he will not have the heart to punish you. Mom knows that this process is a bit difficult, but Susu, just be a helper Your dad, can you help him fulfill his only wish?"
Su Xiaoxiao didn't understand why Li Wanqing and Li Nuanyang were so sure that Li Hanchuan would not do anything to her.
She bit her lip tightly, still fearful of Li Hanchuan's outburst of anger, but she couldn't bear to reject Li Wanqing, but she didn't dare to accept it easily.
After all, Li Hanchuan's attitude towards Gao Zhirou was already obvious. Now that he had a father who had severed ties with him, Su Xiaoxiao was really afraid that Li Hanchuan's mood would collapse instantly.
She had seen Li Hanchuan soaking in ice water to calm down, and she had also seen him being haunted by nightmares, so she didn't want to add salt to his wounds and push him into a desperate situation.
She opened her thin lips lightly, "Mom, this matter..."
"Mom knows you need time to think about it. It's because you were too abrupt."
Li Wanqing said and hurriedly wiped her tears, not wanting to embarrass Su Xiaoxiao because of her selfishness.
It's not that Su Xiaoxiao doesn't understand Li Wanqing's thoughts. In this case, Li Hanchuan's heart is not only about Gao Zhirou's departure, but also about Xu Hong's severed father-son relationship, right?
But is there any connection between the two?
No matter what, she hoped that Li Hanchuan could be happy and not be troubled by the rights and wrongs of the past.
Pursing her lips, she finally nodded, "Mom, I promise you!"
