Chapter 1690: End of Volume: Sun Overtakes Yu Hong (Two in One)

Chapter 1690 End of Volume - Sun Ganchao and Yu Hong (Two in One)

2007.

The breath of spring permeates the earth, and the fields are full of yellow flowers, facing the sun and growing hard.

At the gate of the First Prison of Jiangliao Province, the courtyard wall is tall and the sentry is straight.

Gaga Gaga~

With the sound of the iron gate opening, a ray of light illuminates the face of the man walking out from the opposite side.

Seemingly a little uncomfortable with the sunlight outside, he put down his bag, covered his forehead with his hands, squinted his eyes slightly, and his face was an expression that can be described as "melancholy" or "confused".

Bang~ Bang~

Two people got off a Huaneng jeep parked in the parking lot across the street.

"Brother."

"Xiaoning."

Sun Xiaoning ran two steps quickly and hugged Sun Ganchao. He had just seen him last month, but now that he was out, his eyes were red.

Dong Zhao patted his wife's shoulder from behind.

"Good day, don't cry."

Sun Xiaoning tried to control her emotions and burst into laughter: "Originally, my elder sister and brother-in-law were going to come, but my mother fell last night, so they could only accompany her in the hospital, so only Dong Zhao and I came."

"Mom is in the hospital?" Sun Ganchao was anxious when he heard it: "What did the doctor say?"

Sun Xiaoning said: "Don't worry, the doctor said it's not serious, just go home and rest for a few days."

Sun Ganchao breathed a sigh of relief.

He is 55 years old this year, and his parents are both 80 years old. People are prone to osteoporosis when they get old. He is really afraid that the old woman will break her bones when she falls down.

"Okay, don't talk here, let's go home first." Dong Zhao took the bag of personal belongings from Sun Ganchao's hand, and said while walking towards the jeep: "Xiaoning prepared a welcoming banquet for you."

At this time, Sun Ganchao noticed an abnormal situation and looked around.

"Where is Yu Hong?"

Sun Xiaoning pretended not to hear and continued to walk forward.

"Xiaoning, I'm asking you a question. Where's your sister-in-law? Didn't you say she was fine when you went to see me last month? Why didn't she come?"

After being asked to this extent, Sun Xiaoning saw that he couldn't escape, so he sighed heavily: "Sister-in-law... disappeared."

"Missing?" Sun Ganchao's face suddenly changed: "When did it happen?"

"More than three years."

"Then why did you tell me she was fine?" After asking this question, he realized that Sun Xiaoning said this to reassure him. What about going to the south to work, going abroad to see Sun Sheng, all of which were false.

"Xiaoning, what's going on?"

Seeing that he was anxious, Sun Xiaoning had no choice but to tell him about Yu Hong's participation in Qiao Chunyan, Cao Debao and others' plan to report Zhou Bingyi, and how she disappeared after arousing public anger. Sun Ganchao realized what happened.

After Yu Hong and Wu Qian broke up with Zhou Bingkun, how did Qiao Chunyan also turn against her brother?

According to Zhou Rong's logic, is there any need to talk about this? It must be Zhou Bingkun's fault, otherwise why would his childhood friends have such a bad relationship with him? Sun Ganchao would not do that. He has thought clearly in the past few years in prison. The reason why he was in jail was to help Yu Hong take the blame. Zhou Bingkun did not let him down. Childhood friendship? The basis of childhood friendship is to not harm friends. What did Yu Hong and Wu Qian do back then? Isn't it harming others? You are so determined to suck their blood, and you still expect them to continue to treat you well?

People can be ignorant, but they cannot be shameless.

Thinking about the behavior of Qiao Chunyan and Cao Debao, they can only be said to have made the same mistake as Wu Qian, always thinking that they can rely on their "cleverness" to get a handful of hair from Zhou Bingkun. Facts have proved that the final result can only harm others and themselves.

"Brother, are you okay?"

Sun Xiaoning saw him standing still, afraid that he would not be able to accept the emotional collapse for a while, after all, he is over 50 years old.

"I'm fine."

Sun Ganchao shook his head and shook off the messy thoughts in his mind: "What about Sun Sheng? How is Sun Sheng?"

"Oh, he's fine. He found a job in the United States after graduation..."

She was afraid of irritating him, so she didn't tell him that she and her nephew had a falling out over their attitude towards Zhou Bingkun and had not spoken for six or seven years.

"That's good, that's good."

Knowing that Sun Sheng was very promising, he was happy.

...

In addition to Sun Xiaoning, Dong Zhao, his eldest sister and her husband, there was another person at the welcoming banquet - Tang Xiangyang.

Halfway through the meal, Sun Ganchao asked a question.

"What about Bingkun? Didn't you tell him about my release from prison?"

Sun Xiaoning said: "The old lady was sick, and he sent her to a hospital abroad for treatment. Even Zheng Juan went abroad with her."

"Oh."

Sun Ganchao nodded, expressing his understanding. Li Suhua was over 80 years old this year, and it was reasonable for her to have health problems.

Dong Zhao said, "Zhou Bingyi and Hao Dongmei will also leave in a while. They said Zheng Juan is too busy in Australia, and Yueyue's child is still young, so she can't go."

Tang Xiangyang said, "Didn't he retire at the age of 65?"

"He is in poor health. I heard that he has been transferred to Jichun University as a part-time professor. He doesn't have much to do during normal times, but he is given special care in special cases."

"That's right."

Sun Ganchao asked again, "What about Guoqing? Why didn't Guoqing come?"

He didn't ask about Cao Debao and Qiao Chunyan, because Sun Xiaoning and those two people stopped talking three years ago.

Tang Xiangyang said, "I went to find Guoqing, and he was still drunk."

Having said this, he shook his head. Thanks to Xiao Dagang's filial piety, Xiao Guoqing was in his current state. It would take someone else to replace him, let alone support him until he died. There was a high probability that he would no longer recognize this father.

While in prison, Sun Qianchao heard Sun Xiaoning talk about Xiao Guoqing's situation, and he had a lot of thoughts and mixed feelings about it.

Ever since Zhou Bingkun went to the south, Wu Qian has been playing tricks and doing things to make a family like this.

Yes, it seems to outsiders that Yu Hong is guilty, but all the money she earned from doing so was spent on Sun Sheng, who sent her children to study abroad. Her academic qualifications are much better than those of Sun Xiaoning, and she has realized the couple's dream. That's why he was willing to help her take the blame.

"Today is a good day for my brother to be released from prison. Let's not talk about these bad things. Come on, let's drink."

Dong Zhao married Sun Xiaoning, so he naturally called Sun Qianchao "brother."

"Yes, drink, drink."

Because of his relationship with Zhou Bingkun, Tang Xiangyang has had a good relationship with Dong Zhao in the past few years. Let's put it this way, today Sun rushed out of prison. If Dong Zhao hadn't called to invite him, he might not have come over. After all, the six gentlemen of Guangzi Film have left. To this day...

Alas, it’s hard to put it into words.

…

Spring 2009.

San Francisco, U.S.

Sun Xiaoning looked at the address on the phone screen, then looked at the Chinese restaurant in front of her, and nodded to Sun Qianchao, who was still in a state of confusion as he set foot on a foreign land for the first time.

"Yes, it's here."

Hearing what his sister said, Sun Qianchao calmed down and walked towards the door of the restaurant.

The location of this Chinese restaurant is a bit remote, and the restaurant is not big. There are only four or five tables and a dozen chairs. Because it is not meal time, there is no one inside.

Maybe the business is not doing well. In addition to Chinese food, such as mapo tofu, sesame beef, fried shiitake mushrooms, etc., the store also provides cheap western food, such as pizza, fried chicken, pasta, coffee, etc.

"Brother, sit down first."

Sun Xiaoning helped Sun Qunchao, who was wearing a suit for the first time in his life, sit down.

Not long after the two sat down, a middle-aged woman wearing an apron with the store's name on it came out, put the menu on the table, asked them in stiff English what they wanted to eat, and took out a notepad to write it down.

Sun Qianchao's attention was not on the menu at all. He was always looking at the fifty-year-old waiter standing in front of him, and his emotions were very complicated.

Perhaps realizing that the two guests in front of her were a little different from those who had come to eat in the past, the middle-aged woman removed the note pad in her hand and looked sideways, her eyes suddenly widened.

She really didn't expect to meet him here.

"Yu Hong."

Sun Qianchao called her name.

Yes, this old woman who works as a waitress in a Chinese restaurant is none other than Yu Hong, who has not been heard from for five years.

Pa da~

The pen and pad fell to the floor.

Yu Hong took a big step back and looked at Sun Qunchao and Sun Xiaoning. His expressions changed from shock at first, to surprise, and then to panic.

At this moment, a sharp voice came from behind.

"Yu Hong, what did you do? I asked you to entertain guests and order food. Look at how careless you are. I tell you, if you receive any more complaints from guests, pack up and leave as soon as possible."

If it were before, Yu Hong would have said sorry, picked up the note pad and pen that fell on the floor, lowered her head and asked the customer to repeat what they wanted to eat, but now... no matter how much the landlady scolded her, she didn't react at all. .

"Hey, let me tell you, do you still want to do it?"

The proprietress came out of the kitchen and was about to explain to the guests when Yu Hong turned around and left.

Unexpectedly, Sun Xiaoning moved quickly and grabbed him: "You can go, tell us where Sun Sheng is."

The landlady was stunned when she heard this: "Do you know each other?"

"It's none of your business." Sun Qianchao's words frightened the fat woman into speechlessness.

"Yu Hong, where is Sun Sheng?"

"have no idea."

"have no idea?"

Sun Ganchao was furious and raised his hand to hit someone. Sun Xiaoning quickly stopped the person: "Brother, don't be impulsive. She definitely knows where Sun Sheng is. Since it was Brother Bingkun who gave us the news, it must be right. "

Sun was unable to contact Sun Sheng for more than half a year after he was released from prison. As a result, during the Spring Festival of 2008, he contacted his eldest sister via video call and told his family that he was married to a black man.

After learning the news, the Sun family exploded. Regardless of whether Sun Sheng did this for naturalization in the United States, Sun Qunchao would definitely not agree to the marriage because it would be too embarrassing to tell.

The father and son had a fierce quarrel because of this matter. In the end, Sun Sheng told him that if he disagreed and insisted on letting him return to the country, then he would not have a son from now on, and asked him to stay away from Sun Xiaoning. He said that their family would not be like this if it were not for this good daughter in the eyes of her grandparents and a proud Wushu University student.

Sun Qianchao was so angry at these words that he was almost hospitalized, and the whole family had a hard time.

Can Sun Xiaoning be blamed for his imprisonment? Yes, my sister went to Wuhan University. The old couple were very happy. At first, they wanted to compete with the Zhou family. But later, Zhou Bingkun asked him to be the deputy director of the wood processing factory. The old couple were also very proud, meeting their relatives and friends. They always tell everyone they meet that they are out of business. Now they are the deputy director of a wood processing factory. If they don't have a job and want to make money, they can go find their son.

It was all Yu Hong. She was upset about Zhou Bingkun paying for Sun Xiaoning to go to college. She always wanted her son to be better than her aunt, as if doing so would help her vent her anger. As a result, Sun Sheng went to Dalian University of Technology, which was quite different from Wuhan University. She was very disappointed. Later, she got information about studying abroad from some unknown channel, and used her purchasing power to take kickbacks and falsely report expenses. After saving enough money, she sent Sun Sheng to study in the UK. Later, the truth was revealed. In order to help Yu Hong take the blame, he was imprisoned for five years. After he was released, he wanted to reunite with his wife and children. No matter how bad the family situation was, it was better than that of Guoqing. Unexpectedly, Sun Sheng said he would not go back, and even married a black wife in order to obtain American citizenship.

Because he sheltered Yu Hong and Zhou Bingkun, he broke up. He was imprisoned for five years with a bad reputation, and finally the father and son turned against each other. How could he not be angry?

In the following year, he tried many times to contact Sun Sheng, but all failed. Finally, Sun Xiaoning found Zhou Bingkun and asked him to help find him. In the end, he told them an address and said that Sun Sheng had been living with Yu Hong for the past few years.

In other words, Yu Hong knew that her son was going to marry a black man and that the father and son had fallen out. What was even more outrageous was that from 2007 to 2009, she didn't call Jichun for two whole years. What did she want to do? Did she want to take her son and sever ties with the Sun family?

"Let go." Yu Hong twisted Sun Xiaoning's hand hard: "If you don't let go, I'll call the police."

"Do you still want to call the police?"

Sun Ganchao's idea was very simple. I spent five years in prison to help you get rid of the crime and for my son to have a good future. Now Sun Sheng has gone far away and wants to sever ties with the Sun family. Was my son corrupted by that black wife? Or was he corrupted by this mother?

This time he didn't give Sun Xiaoning a chance and slapped her.

Pah~

The sound woke up the restaurant's proprietress, who burped with an onion-flavored burp.

Yu Hong was knocked to the ground, staring at Sun Ganchao in a daze. After a few breaths, she said hatefully, "You want a son, right? Okay, I'll take you to find him."

Sun Xiaoning let go of her hand after hearing that.

Yu Hong didn't say much, took off her apron and walked out.

The proprietress watched the three people leave, quickly closed the door, and loudly told Yu Hong not to come to work tomorrow.

...

Half an hour later.

Sun Ganchao and Sun Xiaoning, led by Yu Hong, walked into a shabby apartment building that looked to be several decades old, with peeling exterior walls, graffiti all over the interior walls, and a urine-smelling smell, and entered a room on the third floor.

The room was dark, the floor was dirty, and there was a smell in the air that came from nowhere, which was very pungent.

Sun Ganchao adjusted himself a little and saw the man lying on the sofa like a dead dog. Although the man had a thin face, sunken eye sockets and messy hair, he still recognized that it was his son, Sun Sheng.

Sun Xiaoning was completely confused. She couldn't understand why her nephew, who was smart and lively when he was a child, became like this.

"Sun Sheng, why... don't you recognize me? I'm your dad, I'm your dad..." Sun Ganchao said in a slightly hoarse voice, but in return he was answered with "Get lost, I don't know you."

The man on the sofa got up, his steps were weak, he staggered into the bedroom and slammed the door.

Sun Ganchao stayed where he was.

Sun Xiaoning was sharp-eyed and noticed the pinhole on Sun Sheng's arm, as well as the spoon, tin foil and lighter thrown on the ground. Now she knew where the strange smell in the room came from.

Yu Hong said, "You've given up now, right?"

Sun Ganchao grabbed her collar and pretended to hit her. Sun Xiaoning stopped him again. In comparison, she was calm and knew that this was not China. It would be very troublesome to be in the police station for hitting someone.

"Why did he become like this? Tell me, why did he become like this?"

In Sun Ganchao's memory, Sun Sheng was very good, otherwise he would not risk going to jail to save his wife and children. However, who would have thought that five years later, when he came out of jail, the son he finally found was no longer the person he remembered.

Yu Hong said, "Last year, he lost a lot of money in stock trading. His wife ran away. People came to his house every day to collect debts. He couldn't stand it and became like this."

Sun Ganchao sat on the ground with his eyes blank. He didn't know much about stock trading, but he had heard of many tragedies of families being broken up because of losing money in stock trading.

Sun Xiaoning did, because last year's economic crisis affected a wide range of people. I heard that many companies and individuals in the world went bankrupt, and even Huaneng Automobile was affected. However, because Shenzhen Cheng Group is a technology-based and innovative enterprise, it is generally not a big deal.

"How did Sun Sheng get into the bad habit of stock speculation?"

"You have to ask him about this."

Sun Ganchao was puzzled, not knowing why he was involved.

Yu Hong said: "Didn't you always want Sun Sheng to learn from his aunt and not be a ignorant old man like you? Buying stocks is what most Americans do. He just doesn't want to admit defeat, and he keeps buying at the bottom again and again, and finally owes a lot of debts."

Sun Xiaoning didn't know what to say. Cao Debao was jealous of Zhou Bingkun, and now he has become a rat crossing the street that everyone shouts and beats; Yu Hong was jealous of her and passed on the red eye disease to her son. As a result, Sun Sheng, who was determined to be better than her, became like this. The word "jealousy" is really harmful.

Sun Ganchao and Yu Hong have been friends with Zhou Bingkun for many years, so how come they don't know that person as well as she does? If Sun Sheng is admitted to university and really wants to study abroad, and doesn't have enough money to ask him, will he refuse? Many times, all he wants is a sincere attitude towards friends, rather than flattery and performance with utilitarianism. Wu Qian and Yu Hong... why don't they understand this truth?

If Sun Sheng can be steady and down-to-earth like Dagang, he won't end up like this.

What else can she say now?

She can only say in her heart that fate is unpredictable.

"Do you still recognize such a son?" Yu Hong's expression was a little ferocious.

Sun Ganchao said nothing, but patted his chest heavily. He and Yu Hong both wanted their son to stand out and change his fate through reading, but who knew that reading more books would not necessarily make life better.

"Let's go, brother."

Sun Xiaoning shook his head, pulled Sun Ganchao up from the ground, opened the door and walked out.

When walking towards the exit, looking at his brother's back, he felt that he had aged a dozen years in an instant. Sun Sheng's depravity seemed to have drained all his energy and spirit.

After the two returned to the hotel, Sun Xiaoning received a long-distance call from Dong Zhao. The content was very simple. Xiao Guoqing died unexpectedly. If the situation allowed, she and Sun Ganchao were expected to return to China immediately.

Given Sun Ganchao's current state, would he go back to attend Xiao Guoqing's funeral? Is it possible?

Sun Xiaoning regretted asking Zhou Bingkun to help find Sun Sheng. With such a result... it would be better not to find him.
