East Side, Gallery.
Zhang Yu and Zheng Sihe stood in front of a giant portrait and watched as a stream of people poured into the gallery.
The woman not far away was wearing a white evening dress as she explained to everyone.
Zhang Yu couldn't help sighing as he looked at the woman in the distance, "I didn't expect that my sister would be so popular right now."
Clearly, twenty years ago, she was still just an ordinary student. But even after so much had happened, she thought that she would never recover from it. She didn't expect that she would admit that she was a popular painter in the world.
Looking at herself, Zhang Yu's emotions were so complicated that he couldn't even speak.
Zheng Sihe, who was beside her, really didn't know what she was thinking. He pulled at a book on the corner of her clothes and said, "Alright, let's go to the lounge first. Otherwise, the gallery will close soon."
Zhang Yu nodded. "Let's go."
The two of them walked through the long corridor and arrived at the lounge. There were two golden-haired and blue-eyed bodyguards standing at the door.
The bodyguard looked at the unfamiliar face and said in English, "Sorry, outsiders are not allowed to enter here."
"We are looking for Miss An."
The bodyguard frowned, "I'm sorry, but Miss An won't be seeing anyone right now."
Zhang Yu quickly tugged at the corner of her husband's shirt. Zheng Shihe looked at her and quickly said, "We have business with Miss An. This is my wife, and she is also Miss An's elder sister." It's just that we haven't seen each other for a long time and knew that she had returned to our country. We came here especially from other cities. "
The bodyguard looked at Zhang Yu with a puzzled expression. He frowned but did not say a word.
Zhang Yu was very anxious, she stepped forward to push open the door, but the bodyguard beside her quickly reached out and pulled her over, "I'm sorry, the two of them can't just casually go in."
The door was opened from the inside by several people as they were entangled with each other.
Zhang Mulin had already taken off her makeup, tied up her hair and put on a pair of long, comfortable pants. She was just about to take a nap in the lounge when she heard the noise outside.
Unhappily standing up, he opened the door and saw a familiar voice.
"You … "You are …" Zhang Mulin asked, her voice trembling.
Seeing her incredulous expression, Zhang Yu directly opened his mouth and said, "Zhang Mulin, that's a bit of an older sister. I didn't expect that after so many years, you wouldn't even recognize me?"
Zhang Yu looked at his little sister. Although twenty years had passed, she had not aged at all. In fact, she was even more mature and beautiful than before.
A girl slowly walked in from outside. She had delicate facial features and a hint of mixed blood on her face. She was wearing a bright red dress and was holding a bouquet of lilies as she walked in.
"Mom, what is this?"
Zhang Yu was also surprised to see the child in front of her. An Xin nervously clasped her hands together and said, "This is your aunt and uncle."
"Really?" The girl was very surprised and looked curiously at Zhang Yu and Zheng Si He.
Zhang Mulin walked over to Zhang Yu and greeted softly, "Sis."
Zhang Yu smiled as he introduced Zheng Si He to her. "This is your brother-in-law, Zheng Si He."
An Xin glanced at Zheng Si He in slight surprise, then turned her head to look at Zhang Yu. After obtaining her confirmation, she opened her mouth and said, "Brother-in-law."
Zheng Si He nodded, but his gaze was still fixated on Zhang Mulin.
Their daughters seemed particularly good-looking, and their faces looked even more alike. Everyone had a pair of soul-stirring eyes. Compared to Zhang Yu, Zhang Mulin seemed more elegant and gentle, perhaps because she studied art.
Zhang Yu sized up his little sister, "I didn't expect you to become a painter and even go abroad. It seems that your life isn't bad."
The lounge was very large, and there were several assistants standing beside it.
At the moment, Zhang Mulin was standing right in front of her. Although she was wearing a pure face, she didn't frown at all.
Zhang Mulin quickly pulled Zhang Yu inside. "Elder sister, let's sit for a while."
Zhang Yu glanced at Zheng Si He beside her and slowly said, "Hubby, you wait outside for a while. I have something to discuss with my sister."
Zheng Si He nodded his head and saw the two of them enter the inner door.
As for the young lady outside, she just so happened to want to follow Zhang Mulin in, so she didn't stand guard outside.
Zhang Mulin closed the door and looked at Zhang Yu beside her. She wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say.
For more than twenty years, she had been avoiding everything related to her country, refusing to come back.
It was Alice who said she wanted to see her mother's country before she agreed to go back to her own country for an exhibition.
But he didn't expect to meet Zhang Yu.
Zhang Yu sat gracefully on the sofa.
"An Xin, the girl outside is your daughter?"
Zhang Mulin nodded.
Could it be that her angle was very similar to An Zhimo's? She frowned slightly and asked, "How old are you?"
Zhang Mulin looked at Zhang Yu and said, "Her name is Alice. She's twenty years old this year."
"What about her father?"
Zhang Mulin frowned but didn't say anything.
Zhang Yu chuckled.
In the past, his sister had always been entangled with men in school, and now she didn't even talk about her daughter's father. Most likely, she didn't even know who the father of the child was.
Zhang Mulin slowly raised her head to look at her, and after a long time, she asked, "Sis, I have something to ask you. Is Niuniu doing well?"
"Niuniu?" Zhang Yu was stunned. Hearing this strange name, her face turned ugly.
Upon seeing the change in her expression, Zhang Mulin's face paled. Grasping her wrist, he asked, "What happened to her? Is she having a hard time? "
Zhang Yu's eyes were immediately filled with tears as he apologetically looked at her. "Zhang Moulin, actually, I wanted to tell you about this back in the day, but you never came back. I never had the chance to tell you about it."
Zhang Mulin quickly wiped her tears away. "Sis, what's going on?"
Zhang Yu held her head up in guilt. "Actually, Niuniu contracted a disease when she was two or three years old. We ran several hospitals and didn't manage to keep her."
"What?" Zhang Mulin froze on the spot, her mind a blank. She had no idea how to react.
Her little girl died just like that?
Zhang Yu looked at her pained expression and slowly said, "Actually, big sister has been looking for you for all these years." But I never saw your message, and then I met my current husband. By the way, Mom died of an illness a few years ago. "
Outside the house, Alice could hear Zhang Mulin crying. He quickly ran to the door and madly knocked on it.
Zhang Yu opened the door and said to Alice with red eyes, "Your mother was crying just now. Go in and take a look."
Alice frowned at her for a moment and then rushed into the room.
Zheng Si He stood up and walked in front of her. "What happened?"
"Nothing much, just talk about what happened before." Zhang Yu looked at Zheng Shihe and said, "Hubby, let's go back."
Alice hugged Zhang Mulin tightly and looked at her worriedly. "Mom, are you alright?" Why cry? Did that person bully you? "
"What's wrong?" Zhang Mulin's manager, James, walked in and asked in concern.
Zhang Mulin kept her head down and cried, ignoring them.
Outside the gallery, Zheng Shihe looked at his red-eyed wife and did not tell her about Zhou Yan's call.
He directly deleted the electrical record.
Zhang Yu looked at her husband beside her and slowly said, "Shihe, let's go home tomorrow."
"We haven't started our trip yet." Zheng looked at his wife in surprise.
Zhang Yu looked at him with a sad expression, "But Qingyan told me today that he hates me. "He hated me for not bringing him along when I came out to play."
Zheng Si He sighed. "Qing Yan was raised so well by your father. That's why he was so willful."
"It's the same as if you didn't spoil him." Zhang Yu quietly resisted.
