First-Class Lawyer

Chapter 131 Eves

With a simple sentence, Gu Yan knew who this couple was.

The vague conjectures that popped up in my heart just now also fell into reality.

Before that, he actually imagined how he would meet Yan Suizhi's parents...

They should take the shuttle back to Helan. On a calm morning or afternoon, maybe it is a bright sunny day, or maybe it is raining continuously, they will pass through the lush holly and gold in the cemetery. Si Song went up the stairs, stopped in front of a certain double tombstone, and placed a bouquet of white resting flowers that she had prepared.Under Yan Suizhi's introduction, he would say hello to the elders who are resting under the tombstone. He might thank him or promise, but it wouldn't take too much time.Because Yan Suizhi should have a lot to talk to his parents, and he will always be by his side.

He never thought that the first time he met Yan Suizhi's parents would be this way.

They stood in front of him and Yan Suizhi, one of them had eyebrows and eyes similar to Yan Suizhi's when he laughed, and the other had the same calm and elegant gestures as Yan Suizhi's.

It was obvious in a few moments that they were supposed to be nice people, as gentle and fun as he'd imagined.

Just a lot younger than he thought.

The moment this thought came to mind, Gu Yancai suddenly realized that being close at hand and within reach is just a matter of appearance, and there is a long, long time between this step.

Before that, the couple should have been in their prime.

If they really stood here and looked at Yan Suizhi like this, they would be gratified that the 15-year-old lazy boy has grown up, and they would still feel sorry for the 28 years he walked alone.Or maybe you will wonder why he changed his appearance, why the little mole inherited from his mother disappeared in the corner of his eye, why he bears someone else's name, what happened to him...

Gu Yan subconsciously looked at Yan Suizhi, who was still leaning in the seat, holding a glass in his hand and resting it on his lap.He didn't lean forward, didn't stand up, and the slightest surprise before had disappeared, and he looked extremely calm.

He has lived alone for so long, and so many things have happened this year, he must have a lot to say when he sees his parents, but this is not in front of the grave, so he didn't open his mouth, just watched quietly.

Then... when the couple were smiling, he blinked slightly and smiled at them.

No sadness, no sadness.

At least for this moment, when he and his parents looked at each other, there was nothing in his eyes.

It was as if... he was just sitting in the garden of the old house next to Gu Yan, lazily basking in the sun like he did countless holiday afternoons many years ago.Then he raised his eyes inadvertently, and found that his parents were standing in front of the French windows on the second floor looking at him, but he was squinted by the sunlight, and returned a faint smile.

Relaxed, without edges.

……

Joe sat on the sofa, with his hands on his knees, his posture was stiff, as if he had been stuck for a certain moment and hadn't recovered.

It wasn't until the video was played again, the screen went dark, and the whole living room suddenly went dark, that he suddenly came back to his senses.

"I..." Qiao opened his mouth and said a word, then shook his head and changed his words: "No, Dean, what do you mean by letting Gu Yan meet the couple just now? They are yours..."

For the last few words, his voice suddenly softened, as if he was a little afraid to say it.

Yan Suizhi seemed to be a little lost in thought, and after a while, he turned his eyes to Qiao.

Young Master Qiao straightened his body, and inexplicably faltered: "Then what...it doesn't matter if it's not convenient for you to say."

Yan Suizhi was made to laugh by Qiao's tone, it may be that the smile he showed to the couple just now hadn't stopped yet.He turned the glass in his hand and asked Joe: "Is there any truth to what you just said?"

Joe actually didn't understand what he meant by asking this question, but as if he had been selected for an elective course in law school, he raised two fingers and said seriously: "No, it's all the truth."

"Is there any concealment or reservation?" Yan Suizhi asked again.

Young master Qiao continued to raise his finger: "Say what comes to mind, and I didn't deliberately hide my words. If you don't mind being wordy, I can still talk for another day and night."

"Will you tell the things you hear to the wrong people?"

"Of course not, my mouth is tight."

Yan Suizhi's expression remained unchanged, and he nodded: "I see."

Joe tentatively asked, "So?"

Yan Suizhi said: "So, those are my parents."

Joe opened his mouth and said "ah".

In fact, this conjecture just now was ready to come out in his mind, but when Yan Suizhi really said it, he was still...shocked.

"But...it's not right..." Qiao tried to recall the faces of the couple in his mind, recalling the details of the facial features one by one, then fixed his eyes on Yan Suizhi's face, and looked at the details of the facial features one by one...

Couldn't find a single point of real resemblance.

"You don't look alike!" said Jo.

After finishing speaking, he suddenly came back to his senses in Gu Yan's eyes looking at the fool, and slapped himself on the forehead, "Oh—yes, the dean is the face of an intern now, look at my pig brain, I It’s just that I knew this suddenly, a little bit, I couldn’t react.”

He rubbed his forehead, then froze again: "It's still not right...the couple's surname is Lin, how could they be the dean's parents?"

He might have been really shocked by this sudden situation, and he couldn't find the key when speaking.After finishing speaking, he realized that what he said was a little awkward, and corrected him: "I mean, the dean, your surname is Yan. I remember that the old fox called him Mr. Lin. Could it be that I remembered it wrong?"

Qiao tried hard to recall that not only was the gentleman not surnamed Yan, but also the lady was not surnamed Yan.

"I remember correctly." Yan Suizhi said.

When he talked about this matter, his expression became very gentle, with a little helplessness.He didn't intend to explain at first, but when he turned his head and saw Gu Yan, he couldn't help but add: "My father's surname is Lin, and my mother's surname is Lu. They have the same initials, so they prefer to use L when they sign their names outside. .Maybe birds of a feather flock together. My family doesn't care much about last names or inheritance, so they think it's okay to have anyone's last name before I was born. In other words, they haven't decided what my last name is. My mother's personality Compare--"

He smiled, and thought about a word, "It's lively, I don't like the kind that plays cards according to common sense. She thought of an idea later, saying that after I was born, whoever held the hand first, I will follow whoever last name."

"It's ridiculous, isn't it?" Yan Suizhi said.

Gu Yan shook his head. To be honest, judging from Yan Sui's later personality, it's not that surprising that his family came up with such an idea.

Although the surname was discussed before Yan Suizhi was born, he did not miss those details.Because the elders in the family have the habit of taking family videos, I just recorded them.

Yan Suizhi watched that video more than once.

The video was shot on a winter night one year before his birth. The location was not at the old house, but at the house of Yan Suizhi's maternal grandfather and grandmother on a beautiful island in the east of Helan.

Yan Suizhi remembered the beginning of the video. His mother was sitting on the thick and clean carpet in the living room, watching a movie with a cat in her arms.She used her husband's legs as a backrest, and her long curly hair hung down, looking laid-back and at home.

The father patted the top of her head and said half-truthfully, "Miss Lu, my leg is numb."

Smiling, she punched her hands behind her back a few times, then as if she suddenly remembered something, she turned her head and put her husband's knee on her knees and asked, "I can't help but think of one thing recently."

"what's up?"

"We've talked before, what's your name if you have a baby." Miss Lu stroked the cat and said seriously, "I think we're going to have it soon."

Mr. Lin's expression went blank for a moment: "What do you think?"

"Intuition."

Miss Lu was amused by his expression, she lay on his knees and laughed for a long time before she raised her head and said, "I just thought of a great idea, no matter if it's a boy or a girl, after he's born, who will he be aimed at?" Cry with whoever's last name."

Mr. Lin: "Then we may have to choose an obstetrician with a nice surname first."

Miss Lu: "..."

Seeing his wife's expression, Mr. Lin also laughed.

"Then why don't you just take the surname of the first person he grabs after returning home?" Miss Lu said.

"That's okay." Mr. Lin boasted, "It's a good idea."

With such an idea, Miss Lu couldn't sit still.She hugged the cat's lap and pulled her slippers to the kitchen, told her father who was boiling milk, and was praised again.Then I went upstairs again and told my mother who was recuperating.

Not long after that, the idea was favored by Mr. Lin's father.

So after Yan Suizhi was born, not only his parents, but even his grandparents came to join in the fun with the intention of teasing him.

Surrounded by his crib were his mother who made him laugh, his father who took videos of him, his grandmother who was in a wheelchair due to physical reasons, his grandfather who was pushing a wheelchair, and his grandfather who pretended to be calm but couldn't hold back his laughter.

"So who did you catch?" Gu Yan asked.

"Grandmother." Yan Suizhi smiled, "She didn't put her hand in front of me at that time, she was just helping me tuck the corner of the quilt, so she was taken aback for a moment."

His grandmother had been affected by a war, which happened to be in the latter part of her pregnancy.After that, she endured unimaginable torture before giving birth to the child.But the impact of the war has not completely disappeared, which caused some problems with Yan Suizhi's mother and Yan Suizhi's genes.She has always felt guilty about it, for many, many years.

Yan Suizhi's parents have always hoped that she can let it go and don't care about it.

After all, without the hard work of the grandmother, there would be no Yan Suizhi's mother, and Yan Suizhi's father would not meet his beloved wife, and naturally there would be no Yan Suizhi.

"In the second year after I was born, my grandmother passed away, and the only person who opposed it passed away, and the rest of the elders unanimously decided that I would take her surname." Yan Suizhi paused and said, "Plus, my parents never wanted to be too surnamed. Limit my life, at least until I am an adult, free to decide what I want to do, what kind of life I want to live, free from their business, partner or other influence, can more purely determine my own Lu. Having a different surname from them can achieve this purpose in a sense."

Joe felt a little emotional when he heard it.

At least as far as they knew, the couple did what they said and really protected their children very well.So much so that he never knew that the unknown and undisturbed person they had been curious about for a long time was actually Yan Suizhi.

He is very envious, envious of such a gentle family and such gentle elders.

But it is precisely because he has met such a gentle person that he has worked hard to maintain his sincerity in various family disputes and intrigues for decades.
