Chapter 473 Meeting
The moment Dong Zhendong saw Si Yao, his eyes were a little dazed and his brows were slightly furrowed.
It was really that Si Yao and Si Ruyun were too similar when they were young. Although they couldn't be said to be exactly the same, they were about 80% similar. He stared at Si Yao blankly, and decades of memories in his mind came flooding out. He finally remembered where this place was.
This should be the ancestral tomb of the Si family...
"Kid, who are you?"
Dong Zhendong took a few steps forward.
Si Yao lowered her head: "Hello, Uncle Dong, I am Si Yao..."
Dong Zhendong took a deep breath, somewhat unable to believe it.
"Girl, when I saw you back then, you were just born, holding your fists. Thirty years have passed in a flash, and you have grown into a big girl. I guessed it was you, but I didn't dare to recognize you!"
"No wonder, no wonder Su Yang said, I must come here to take a look..."
Su Yang smiled bitterly, "Mr. Dong, I have to admit my mistake. I did deceive you by bringing you here. There are no beautiful mountains or rivers here, nor are there any stunning scenery. It's just a mountain, a forest, and a reservoir below. Inside is the Si family's ancestral tomb."
Dong Zhendong frowned slightly.
Su Yang continued: "But, there is someone here that you should meet..."
"I don't know if you can still recognize me after not seeing me for more than 30 years..."
As Su Yang was speaking, Si Ruyun had already heard Dong Zhendong's voice in the Si family's ancestral tomb, but it was far away. She stood there for a long time, not daring to take a step forward. She looked at Dong Zhendong, then at herself, her eyes moved slightly, and in an instant, a myriad of emotions surged in her heart.
Dong Zhendong also saw Si Ruyun. He opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything for a moment. After a long while, he gave a bitter smile.
"It should be a happy occasion to meet old friends again, but when the words come to my lips, I don't know what to say!"
"Ruyun, I haven't seen you for thirty years. Can you still recognize me?"
At this moment, Dong Zhendong finally understood why Su Yang brought him here. Si Ruyun walked out of the woods. Every step she took was very difficult. Her feet were in the snow. Every step she took would be buried in the snow. She had to lift them up with force, take a step forward, and then step heavily into the snow.
She looked at Dong Zhendong, with thirty years of pent-up emotions, and now that they met again, she couldn't utter a word.
Su Yang patted Secretary Dong Zhendong on the shoulder: "Let's go inside, don't stand here..."
The secretary was also a little at a loss. He stood there, not knowing whether to leave or stay.
Dong Zhendong smiled bitterly: "Xiao Sun, follow Su Yang around, we will go down the mountain later..."
Xiao Sun nodded and followed Su Yang towards the Si family's ancestral tomb.
Dong Zhendong looked at Si Ruyun and laughed slowly: "I've grown old. I haven't seen you for thirty years. You've grown old..."
Si Ruyun remained silent. She looked at Dong Zhendong who was so close to her, choking with sobs but unable to speak. Thirty years had passed, and she no longer had the same joy for Dong Zhendong as before. To her, this was more like an obsession.
The happy faces we first saw when we were young will eventually be worn away by time...
The once powerful Dong Zhendong has long disappeared, leaving only the frail old man.
Si Ruyun touched her face, and saw fine wrinkles. It had been thirty years since we last met...
During these thirty years, it's not that she hadn't thought about meeting Dong Zhendong, but she didn't know how to meet him or under what name. No one who knew her past dared to marry her, and Dong Zhendong, who left her, would never come back.
She spent thirty years in a daze...
"You are old too..."
Si Ruyun spoke while choking with sobs.
She wiped her tears: "I didn't know I would see you here, I didn't expect..."
Dong Zhendong smiled bitterly: "Me too, I have thought about the moment when we will meet again, maybe in a park for a walk in retirement, or in an unimportant meeting, or in a foreign country..."
"But I never thought that we would meet here, in the back hills of Sili Village, outside the Si family's ancestral tomb."
"After all these years, are you still alone?"
Si Ruyun smiled bitterly: "I guess so. I've adopted a child before, so I'm used to it. Haven't you remarried?"
Dong Zhendong said helplessly: "When I divorced, I already had a child. I have been alone for so many years. You are right. I have long been accustomed to this kind of life."
"I have to thank Su Yang today. If it weren't for his arrangement, I don't know if we would be able to meet again in this life..."
Si Ruyun slowly said: "Are you going to leave later?"
Dong Zhendong nodded: "Yes, I have a meeting in the afternoon and a dinner in the evening. I have to go back to Chuncheng early tomorrow morning."
Si Ruyun wiped her tears and tried her best to cheer herself up. She looked at Dong Zhendong and forced a smile.
"Then while we still have time, please walk with me..."
Dong Zhendong responded, and the two of them followed the road and walked forward, walking very far, very far.
In the Si family's ancestral tomb, Su Yang lit a few incense sticks, bowed towards the tomb, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner. On the tombstone, it was written "Huang Yun's Tomb, erected by her husband Si Xue Zhong".
In the center of the top, there is a black and white photo of Huang Yun engraved...
Su Yang could see that when Si Yao's mother died, she was just in her early thirties. Although she had given birth to a child, she did not look old at all. She was not dressed in lavish jewelry, but she was quite elegant.
Si Yao threw a few more stacks of paper money into the fire. There was a lit lamp next to it. The fire reflected on the photo on the tombstone and Huang Yun's kind face.
Si Yao knelt beside him: "Mom, I met the person I can trust my whole life to, I brought him to see you..."
"Take a quick look at him and see if you are satisfied. If you are not satisfied, remember to tell me in your dreams and I will make him change..."
Si Yao pulled Su Yang and knelt down together.
Su Yang scratched his head: "Yes, yes, auntie, if it doesn't work, you can tell me in your dreams, don't scare Yaoyao."
Si Yao raised her hand and hit him: "Can you please get down to business?"
Su Yang quickly shut his mouth.
Si Yao continued to burn paper: "My dad is also very good. He has never married in these years, but he still can't let you go. My second uncle is also very good. My eldest brother is also very good. My aunt... My aunt is also okay."
"I'm back to work in Jiangcheng City. I'm closer to you now. I can come to see you more often in the future."
"On your death anniversary last year, my father still didn't want to come to see you. He gave me two million and donated it to the Jiangcheng Welfare Institute according to your wishes. The donor was still in your name..."
The more Si Yao spoke, the redder her eyes became, and by this point, she couldn't stop her tears from flowing.
"Mom, it would be great if you were alive..."
"If you were alive, you would be able to see me get married with your own eyes and send me off with your own hands..."
"mom……"
