Chapter 2 Yuan Zhongwei: I want to meet her.

Today is my brother's memorial service.

Yuan Wangyu is less than fifty years old, and his career and life are at its peak.

However, things are unpredictable, and a small tumor in his throat took his life.

From diagnosis, treatment to inability to recovery, it only took a year to complete the situation.

There were many guests at the farewell ceremony, and the widow Zhou Qian greeted the visitors coming and going.

Her dress is elegant and fashionable, and her appearance and hair accessories are carefully cared for, and she looks like a mature and beautiful professional woman inside and out.

But I am familiar with Zhou Qian's appearance when she was young. Compared to eighteen years ago, the expression on her face was stiff and cold. Coupled with her sunken cheeks and unsightly eyes, Zhou Qian's original vitality and fighting spirit had disappeared.

Of course, her appearance may be just grief over her husband's death, so how could I know?

When the business staff of the funeral home called me, I was extremely surprised. Unexpectedly, Zhou Qian ordered me to arrange the details of Yuan Wangyu's funeral.

The couple worked for many years, and their positions are not low and their income is not cheap. Yuan Wangyu is not a person who lacks money.

What's more, he is a serious policeman with a police rank, and his funeral pension will not be reduced.

Even so, when I heard about Zhou Qian’s financial situation, it was still difficult to understand how bad her situation would be.

However, the last time I met them was eighteen years ago, who knows what the couple has experienced.

Frankly speaking, Yuan Wangyu and I are not close. The competition, fighting and quarrel between the two is far more than the deep brotherly love.

Yuan Wangyu is two years older than me, and his earliest memory is being beaten.

It was not until the two of them were as tall and strong as they were, and sometimes I could turn defeat into victory, so I was spared from his punches and kicks.

After going to school, my grades were better than him, and I won awards every year and went to key classes in key schools.

There is even less intimacy between the two.

Because of their personality, temper, hobbies, they usually have their own circle of friends and never join each other.

The only thing in common is that we all want to be policemen. In our memory, we rarely do anything calmly, happily and happily.

After he and Zhou Qian got married, our brotherhood was no different from breaking up.

It is an obligation to attend Yuan Wangyu’s memorial service today, not a feeling.

I don't care about them, and it's not Zhou Qian who attracted my attention, but the young girl who accompanied her.

The girl will not be over eighteen years old, and the entire memorial service has been following Zhou Qian, tightly supporting her arm.

The girl didn't turn around, and from my perspective, she couldn't see her appearance.

My eyes were on her more than once, and something about her made me extremely uneasy and awakened a strong desire I had never had before.

This desire has never happened even in my youngest and most hormonal era.

My interest in this young girl is wrong, especially my interest is not simple at all.

She was too young and still a child, and I was in my early forties.

Not only that, Zhou Qian is now staring at my every move, ready to ruin me at any time.

For eighteen years, Zhou Qian has always reminded me of her destructive power and her determination to destroy me without hesitation.

I held my fist in my pocket tightly, and the skin on my knuckles was almost ruptured.

I have enough rationality to suppress my desire for that girl, which does not mean that I will not be very curious about her.

However, at this moment, I can't do anything, which makes me angry.

Zhong Wei?A husky voice rang behind me, and then a hand with a diamond ring grabbed my elbow.In the past, this hand was slender and white, but now it can only be called skinny.

I slowly turned around and faced a face I had never seen again after graduating from college, the woman I once loved deeply.

With bright light and close-up face to face, Zhou Qian's appearance became clearer.

Her eyes were dull and expensive powder could not cover her sallow skin.

Although she is fashionable and expensive, she has not been doing well in the past few years.

Zhou Qian, how are you?haven't seen you for a long time.I asked politely, and based on her understanding of me, I should have heard that this was the least worthy of greeting. There was no sincerity or concern in my tone.

Zhou Qian shrugged indifferently and turned around to look at the guests coming and going.

Yuan Wangyu has ordinary work ability in the police force, but his reputation is pretty good, and he inherited his father's connections in the public security system for half a century.

There should be two or three hundred people present today, and there are four or five police leaders.

For Yuan Wangyu, winning this honor is also a happy ending.

Zhou Qian turned her attention back to me and asked: What are you doing here, Zhong Wei?

I'm not sure about the intent of this question, so I didn't answer it right away.

Zhou Qian immediately narrowed her eyes with caution, not knowing whether it was because of her vision loss over the years, or whether she wanted to act more seriously in front of me.

Yuan Wangyu is my brother, and I will not miss his memorial service.No matter how bad our relationship becomes due to your reasons, I will still come, especially if it's all I'm paying for.I sighed heavily and replied.

I want to have a drink, but I have to drive away later.I can also find a designated driver, but I don't trust strangers.

Zhou Qian ignored me anymore and turned around and left immediately.

Because of the movements that were too fierce, I almost fell down while staggering.

I reached out to stabilize her, but she shook my hand away, held the pillar next to her and stood firmly on her legs, whispering in her mouth that I was still a bastard, and was very happy to have made a wise choice back then and marry the better brother of the Yuan family instead of me.

I couldn't help but sneer. She chose not the better one, but the one with a house.

Zhou Qian was from a good family when she was a child. The unlucky thing was that her father failed in business when she was ten years old and she was overwhelmed with the burden of committing suicide. After her death, she left her debts to the mother and daughter.

When we are in love with the most affectionate nature, Zhou Qian tells about the tragic situation of that year more than once.

She and her mother were kicked out of the house by debt collectors in the middle of the night, and there was no place to sleep, so they could only stay in the hospital's emergency room for several nights.

Every time Zhou Qian talks about this, she burst into tears.

These tragic memories also left her with an indelible shadow for the rest of her life, so that when she grew up, her persistence in the house almost became a belief.

At first, I didn't think it was a big deal. Security is a biological instinct and it is important to anyone.

My parents died one after another within a year, and they divided the property they had into two parts, one money and one house for us brothers to choose from.

At that time, I was going to study for postgraduate studies. Although the place was far away, both the school and major were at the top level in the country.

I chose money for the sake of my choice, while Yuan Wangyu chose to ask for a house.

He found a job at the police station near his home and never thought of changing his home.

The two brothers rarely agree on the same thing, and they reach a consensus without dispute.

Zhou Qian and I were in love for three years at that time, and it was time to talk about marriage.

The plan is for her to accompany me to study, and the two of them work hard for their career, family and future.

Zhou Qian was furious after knowing that I chose money and made a choice without hesitation.

She sent me a text message to announce the breakup and then threw herself into Yuan Wangyu's arms.

I fought for it, but what I got was Zhou Qian's threat: if I continued to interfere in her life, I would reveal my most unbearable secret.

Now that things have come to this point, I have no one or anything to miss in this city, so I can only leave.

Yuan Wangyu and Zhou Qian got married soon and soon had a baby.

My intuition tells me that the child is not Yuan Wangyu’s.

I didn't question Zhou Qian, but called Yuan Wangyu.

He is not stupid, he is still a policeman, so Zhou Qian can't deceive such things.

Yuan Wangyu laughed at my innocence. He had already fucked Zhou Qian half a year before we broke up.

It doesn’t matter who the child’s father is, what’s important is that I care so much, and that child will only be called Yuan Wangyu’s father.

Faced with Zhou Qian's betrayal, I can't do anything even if I hate her.

Yuan Wangyu would not miss any opportunity to embarrass, anger, or frustrate me. He had no guilt for stealing my girlfriend, and even joined Zhou Qian to threaten me.

I must not appear in their lives, nor can I get close to their children.

The child will never know my existence. I am not the child's father or uncle. I can't even talk about distant relatives, I am just a stranger.

Now, the disease takes Yuan Wangyu away.I'm still here and I want to know her.

Stay away from Yuan Yuan, she has nothing to do with you.Zhou Qian suddenly said, noticing that my eyes were wandering on the girl.

Is she your daughter?I asked knowingly.

Say it again, she has nothing to do with you.Yuan Wangyu is her father...the two are very close.Zhou Qian did not hide her gloating in a strong tone, but for some reason, I always felt that there was something in her words.

I wanted to see her, I whispered, Zhou Qian had no reason to refuse such a small request from me.

It is absolutely impossible. Don’t think that Yuan Wangyu is gone, you can take the promises you made back then seriously.I need to remind you again, do I know you?Zhou Qian warned viciously: I heard that you have done a good job over the years and will be promoted to police supervisor soon.Think about it, if I expose your secret, you will be unable to protect your future, not even your work.Stay away from us and stop letting us see you again.You have disappeared for eighteen years, and if you know the current affairs, you will continue to disappear!

When I joined the police, I was already a first-level police superintendent, and now I am a police supervisor.I felt very disdainful. Zhou Qian had been a wife for Yuan Wangyu for so many years, but she didn't even have the common sense of police rank.

As for her so-called secret, it was a bad thing when I sneaked into the university’s credit management system and changed my grades without authorization.

Zhou Qian’s threat was useful at the time, which not only affected me to apply for a postgraduate entrance examination, but also caused great trouble to find a job after graduation.

Now, after working for more than ten years, I will not be able to rush it in the police industry again with the same reasons.

However, looking at Zhou Qian's proud eyes, I chose to stay quiet and retreat.

At this time, as long as Zhou Qian feels safe, I will act more calmly and easily.

Sure enough, Zhou Qian hummed from her throat and walked away confidently.

I secretly decided not to be manipulated by this woman anymore, and she wouldn't get rid of me so easily.

Compared to eighteen years ago, I have better patience, more means, and stronger resilience.

My eyes fell on the young girl again. Zhou Qian just called her Yuan Yuan, and this is her name.

I read it silently several times in my heart, and the two of them seemed to have telepathy, and Yuan Yuan actually turned her head to me.

I was frozen in place and couldn't move, as if my blood suddenly solidified.

But her eyes did not stop on me, but started chatting with two girls who walked forward to mourn.

Depending on age, the two girls are Yuan Yuan’s classmates.

Their relationship should be very good, so for Yuan Yuan to come to attend Yuan Wangyu's memorial service.

The sad expression on Yuan Yuan's face sucked my heart. I waited patiently, and her name was still called in my heart.

Finally, Yuan Yuan's eyes met me.

I was frozen in place, and this was our first meeting.

The noise in my ears disappeared all of a sudden, and I focused all my attention on her and my breathing was paused.

Almost at the same time, a sweet feeling that was indescribable surged in my heart.

Unfortunately, this feeling is only one-sided.

Yuan Yuan did not show any special performance, and quickly turned her eyes and started talking with her friends.

My heart was pounding, and my eardrums were buzzing.

I wanted to kill Zhou Qian, because it was entirely because of her that I had to stay away from my children.

Don't ask me why I know, I just know.

When a father faces his own children, he will know.

I secretly decided to take action, but the future is long, so I cannot cause a commotion in Yuan Wangyu's farewell hall today.

At this moment, the protagonist is Yuan Wangyu, not Yuan Zhongwei, another son of the Yuan family.

Soon, the people in the hall will know that the Yuan family has a son who inherited his father's mantle.

For the future, I must endure it.

I swear with my back groove and then quietly moved towards the exit.

Just as I was about to step out of the threshold, the soft voice behind me stopped me.

Who are you?How did you know my dad?

The first time I heard such a voice, Yuan Yuan's voice, and daughter's voice.

I took a deep breath, suppressed my anger, and forced myself to remain calm, so I faced the girl who stopped me.

She stood quietly in front of me, revealing the breath of a young girl all over her body, and her eyes as clear as water were staring at me straight.

My tone was calm, and I added some care and regret, and said: My name is Zhong Wei, I knew your father when I was a child.And your mother, and you and your parents are very familiar with each other.

I was vague and didn't want her to know more details about how I met her parents.

I hardly know anyone here, Yuan Yuan said a little embarrassedly.

It seems that Yuan Yuan rarely goes to Yuan Wangyu's workplace, and he rarely takes his colleagues to his home.

This is not surprising. Yuan Wangyu is a quiet and secret person. He doesn’t like parties and meals, nor does he like social chat.

However, Yuan Wangyu should be very concerned about Yuan Yuan. The girl's cheeks were pale and her eyes were red and swollen. She was so sad about the loss of Yuan Wangyu.

Yuan Wangyu once said that he would love this child very much and make sure that this child loves him too.

I don't believe he was out of kindness, and more likely liked the frustration of seeing me suffer from frustration.

Now that I think about his complacentness at that time, I can't help but suspect that Yuan Wangyu had other unspeakable intentions.

I know this person too well, and the darkness in my heart is comparable to mine, but he is more secretive.

Whether I have any evidence or not, our surname is Yuan, which is enough.

Yuan Yuan looked so fragile, and a strong desire for possessiveness swept across her body, unable to even stop me from raising my hand to hold her shoulder.

I was startled and immediately pulled my hand back, making the reckless move more like polite comfort.

Yuan Yuan, I'm about to leave.If you need anything, please call me.I took out the notes from my pocket and grabbed the pen and wrote down my name and phone number.

Yuan Yuan took it and looked down at the note, and the curiosity on her face became even more obvious.Understandably, my behavior is indeed a bit weird.

When I need help, it is always good to have a phone call on my hand. I clenched my fists and coughed lightly, pretending to be in a hurry, and left the venue quickly.

The first time I met with my daughter was not a smooth conversation. What is certain is that I must have left some impression on Yuan Yuan when I met in just five minutes.

It can't be said to be good or bad, at least remember it.

Yuan Yuan would mention me to her mother, and Zhou Qian would definitely ask me in detail about my every move, every word and action, and then weave a lot of lies in front of Yuan Yuan.

This is why I didn't intend to reveal anything during the first conversation between the two.Let Zhou Qian lied to her for the time being, but I will come back and take her away.

Yuan Yuan is my daughter, no one can stop her.
