Chapter 240: Escape from the Mountains (21)
Two days later, Chen Bingrui returned to the office after a meeting and received text messages from a number of numbers.
[Mr. Chen, please come to the sanatorium immediately.]
Chen Bingrui frowned after reading it.
The secretary knocked on the door and walked into the office, handing over the documents.
After signing, Chen Bingrui said, "Make time for me this afternoon."
When I rushed to the sanatorium, I happened to meet the doctor there.
"Mr. Chen."
Chen Bingrui nodded: "How is Uncle doing lately?"
"Mr. Chen has been doing well recently. The second young master even came over a few days ago and had dinner with Mr. Chen."
"Someone recently came to see Mr. Chen—"
As they were talking, the two of them had arrived at the door of Mr. Chen's ward.
Chen Bingrui pushed open the door and saw the child sitting on the sofa at a glance.
Short hair, dark skin.
The child also looked over, his eyes calm and clear, and he seemed to have a maturity that did not belong to his age.
There was a little girl sitting next to her, with the same short hair as her. When she heard the noise, she turned her head timidly, and her face made Chen Bingrui stunned for a moment.
"Bing Rui? Why are you here?"
Chen Xianhua, who was supposed to be bedridden, was now sitting in a wheelchair with another person lying on the bed.
Chen Xianhua was very happy and looked much more energetic than before. His face was red and he couldn't wait to introduce himself to Chen Bingrui.
"Your sister, Shanshan! She's back! She's back!"
Chen Bingrui looked at the skinny woman lying on the hospital bed.
Since she can lie here, it proves that Chen Xianhua has confirmed that this is Chen Shanshan.
Although she has lost a lot of weight, her face does look like Chen Shanshan's former self.
A blank expression appeared on his face: "Shanshan? Shanshan is back?"
Xiaocao kept looking at Chen Bingrui.
He is the eldest son of Chen Xianhua's younger brother Chen Xianhe, one year older than Chen Shanshan. He was studying in another province when Chen Shanshan disappeared.
When he saw his sister Shanshan again after 14 years, her haggard face made Chen Bingrui feel sad for a moment.
He walked to the bedside and was silent for a long time before asking, "Has Shanshan...suffered a lot?"
The sound woke Chen Shanshan up. Her eyes were dull, but when she saw Chen Bingrui, she was so scared that she immediately ran off the bed to the corner and shrank back.
When Chen Bingrui saw the scars on her exposed wrists and ankles, his eyes turned slightly red.
"Uncle, Shanshan, what's wrong?"
"Where's the doctor? Has the doctor examined him?"
When Chen Xianhua saw his daughter running to the corner, he hurriedly pushed the wheelchair over and tried to help Chen Shanshan up.
Seeing this, Xiaocao went over to help Chen Shanshan up, and Chen Shanshan snuggled into Xiaocao's arms.
"She doesn't remember anyone now and doesn't like anyone to get close to her."
Chen Bingrui looked at Xiaocao.
Chen Xianhua sighed: "Shanshan's two daughters."
Chen Bingrui asked, "What exactly happened? Where has Shanshan been for the past 14 years? Why did she become like this?"
-
A day ago, the nurse pushed Chen Xianhua for a walk around the nursing home as usual.
This garden is Chen Xianhua's private sanatorium, built on the outskirts of the city specifically for Chen Xianhua to recuperate.
The sanatorium is located by the mountains and water, with Yuetong Mountain in S City at its back. The air is fresh and away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The area nearby is not open to the public and few people come to visit.
But someone rang the doorbell at the front door, and the nurse happened to be pushing Chen Xianhua for a walk there, so Chen Xianhua asked the nurse to go and see who was ringing the doorbell.
Looking through the security booth, I saw a child carrying an adult on his back and holding a child by the hand.
"Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Chen Xianhua."
The three men were dressed so shabbily that the nurse thought they were country people trying to get money from somewhere, so he wanted to refuse them and said he had the wrong people.
As a result, the child's next words shut the caregiver's mouth.
"His daughter Chen Shanshan is back."
...
Chen Xianhua never thought that he would find his daughter who had been missing for 70 years at the age of 17.
Before the tears of joy could flow, tears of heartache began to flow down her face when she saw Chen Shanshan's skinny body.
When the nurse saw Chen Xianhua, who was already old, hugging Chen Shanshan and crying loudly, he felt distressed but also wanted to persuade Chen Xianhua.
"Mr. Chen, why don't we do a paternity test first?"
The person who spoke was Chen Xianhua's attending physician.
He looked at the grass and flowers with suspicion.
It is really suspicious that a 14-year-old girl could bring Chen Shanshan, who had been missing for many years, home.
But seeing that they both looked malnourished, one could tell that their lives were very hard, and it made one feel sorry for them.
But the feeling that the grass gave him was a little too strange.
Xiaocao knew what he was doubting and said calmly, "My name is Xiaocao, and this is my sister Xiaohua."
"The village I used to live in was called Xiaoba Village, and there was a Hope Primary School there. I saw a 97 newspaper there that reported on the disappearance of Mr. Chen Xianhua's daughter. My neighbor also told us that my mother came to the village in 97 and, when she was bought, she claimed her family was wealthy."
"The most important thing is that when I called my mother, Chen Shanshan, she responded."
The purpose of mixing truth and lies is to make them believe.
"No mistake, no mistake, this is my Shanshan!"
"How could I not recognize my daughter!"
Chen Xianhua held Chen Shanshan's hand, tears streaming down his face: "Shanshan, Shanshan, I am your father."
Chen Shanshan did not respond, but Chen Xianhua could feel her trembling.
The year his daughter went missing, Chen Xianhua had cried so much that he almost ran out of tears.
The kidnapper was captured and tortured by the police but still had no idea of his daughter's whereabouts. He spent all his manpower, material resources and financial resources but still could not find his daughter's whereabouts.
His wife Wu Aiying also cried all day long because of their daughter's affairs. She eventually became depressed and passed away two years ago.
If the wife knew that their daughter would be back in two years, would she have stayed until now to see her daughter for the last time?
Chen Xianhua held Chen Shanshan's hand, looked at her sunken cheeks and lifeless eyes, and the handkerchief he used to wipe his tears was soaked.
"My Shanshan, you have suffered so much!"
"It's all Dad's fault."
"it's all my fault."
"You've suffered, my daughter!!"
The nurse beside her was also moved and wiped her tears with her sleeves.
"Mr. Chen, how about having Dr. Huang take Miss Shanshan for a physical examination first?"
Chen Xianhua touched Chen Shanshan's wrist bone and nodded.
After Chen Shanshan was taken away, Chen Xianhua turned his attention to the grass and flowers beside him.
Xiaohua looks very similar to Chen Shanshan, with big eyes and thin eyebrows.
Xiaocao, on the other hand, looks ordinary, with only a pair of pretty eyes with faint pupils, and no trace of Chen Shanshan.
Needless to say, she looked exactly like that damn man.
Chen Xianhua hated the man who made his daughter suffer. He looked away and remained silent.
Xiaocao understood what he meant, but she wasn't angry. She just pushed Xiaohua forward and said calmly, "I don't have any other requests. I only ask that you keep Xiaohua. She's still young and hasn't been to school yet."
When Xiaohua heard this, tears started flowing out. She grabbed her sister's clothes and said timidly, "Sister, sister, I, I don't want to be separated."
