C155

Although Jiang Yu said that he would bring me back, he didn't specify a time limit. This was also a transition period for me, not to mention that I would need a very long time to adjust it.

Then, for a while, the days returned to their usual calm, a rare comfort to me.

When I got back to the company, I noticed that there had been some strange changes in my office recently. These changes were very minute, and without careful observation, one would not be able to notice them.

For example, my computer desk in front of a few pots of delicate and small green plants, or the windows outside of the balcony covered with some very comfortable looking French eucalyptus.

I have always liked the cold Nordic wind, the office is spotless, of course, it is impossible to see green plants.

Because I always thought that if there were more in the office, some other colors would look vulgar, but the appearance of these plants made me feel very comfortable.

Those little green lifeforms adorned the entire office, giving it a little more life.

I don't know why, but looking at these green plants made me feel really good all of a sudden.

I walked over to a cabinet to grind some coffee, but I suddenly noticed that there were a few Post-it notes taped to the top of the cabinet. The words were very fluent, and I could tell that they had been practiced and even had the air of a calligrapher.

It was warm.

"If you really feel unhappy, then look at the world from a different perspective."

It was a simple sentence, but it made one's heart feel comfortable. It also showed how broad the person who wrote this sentence was.

I've always had a good impression of my own good-looking people, and I can't say why, but it's a strange feeling.

This Post-it was obvious that it couldn't have been done by the people around me, who were busy with their own affairs every day and didn't have time to write me such thoughtful little notes.

After thinking about it, only Old Xu who was willing to clean my office could do such a thing.

However, when I thought about the fact that this Post-it was written by Old Xu, I became even more surprised.

When they first met the Old Xu, they were at the construction site. Although the Old Xu looked very different from the other workers, they all worked in the same place, and after a while, everyone had gotten used to it.

Actually, I only felt that he was different. I didn't feel anything else until today when I saw this note.

I called Old Xu into my office.

"Old Xu, did you write this note?"

I sat on the sofa with the Old Xu standing, his face still carrying the same gentle smile that made me feel warm and comfortable.

"Sit down first, we'll talk slowly."

After the Old Xu heard my words, he carefully sat on the sofa in front of me.

"The words on this note are very pretty. Did you write it?"

"Yes."

Old Xu admitted it decisively.

"Every time I see you, I feel like you have a lot of things on your mind. Even if you smile at someone, it's not really a happy thing. I think you must have met some trouble that you can't solve."

I looked at Old Xu. I didn't know how many things there were on this old man who had experienced all sorts of hardships. I didn't know why but I suddenly felt a strong curiosity towards him.

"How should I put it? It's probably because I've obtained too much, so I'm destined to have to bear more … Let's not talk about this anymore … Your writing is very beautiful, and many people I know don't necessarily write as well as you. "

I don't want to talk about things that put a lot of pressure on me.

"Director Ye is too kind."

Old Xu shook his head as he spoke.

"This is all in the past."

"Last time I heard you had a daughter here, didn't you always look for her? Have you found it? "

It occurred to me that he had told me before that he had been a cadre when he was young, and that was probably what he said.

Old Xu looked at me with a complicated expression.

"I found it …"

"Really? Great! Then, did you recognize each other? "

I was genuinely happy for him.

Old Xu shook his head, looking helpless.

"Why?!" I don't really understand Old Xu. Since I have already found my daughter, why didn't I recognize her?

"Actually, I only came here to see how my daughter is doing …" "I'm satisfied with how well she's been living. Although I've never seen her in so many years, I've always missed her …"

"While you are thinking about your daughter, your daughter will definitely miss you very much as well. Furthermore, you are already old, and you can have a daughter by your side to take care of you. "

I can see that Old Xu is hesitating a lot, but I feel that, as a daughter, since father has not been by her side for such a long time, she must really want to see her father.

"I still can't. I know she's doing well, so I'm already very happy. I feel very guilty for not being with her for so many years. I don't want to give her any more trouble."

Old Xu shook her head as she said this, "Moreover, no young and beautiful girl would wish for herself to have such a mediocre father."

From Old Xu's words, I felt a deep helplessness and love for my daughter.

I think that Old Xu's daughter is happy. Although I have not seen my father for so many years, it's not that my father doesn't love her.

But my father was powerless.

"Old Xu, actually, your daughter is very happy and fortunate. Even though she hasn't had a father to accompany her for so many years, you have never stopped loving her."

"Oh, so that's what you think?" Old Xu looked at me with a gratified expression and strange and complex emotions. I was completely unable to fathom these things.

I nodded. This was indeed the truest thought in my heart.

It was probably because when I was young, I wasn't taken seriously like others. I was considered as a bastard by everyone around me …

When I grew up, all the people I met were either lying to me, using me as a chess piece, or as a tool for me to use, or just trying to get what they believed to be love from me …

I've never had such pure love...

He didn't know why, but he suddenly felt envious of that girl he had never met. Old Xu said that she was living a good life now, that she had such a father that loved her, and that I, my mother, didn't love me.

She even thought of me as a burden, a stumbling block to get rid of!

Without comparison, there wouldn't be any harm. Thinking of this, my heart hurt violently.
