Chapter 195 - Mother of Xu Hong

Everyone saw that Li Xiang and Xu Hong had such a huge reaction when they heard this name. They looked at the two of them in confusion, not knowing how they could have such a reaction.

Li Xiang and Xu Hong were also shocked by their respective reactions. They looked at each other in confusion as well.

Zhang Min asked, "Why are the two of you so surprised to hear this name? Have you all heard of this name? Judging from your reactions, you should have heard of this name before, right? "

Li Xiang's expression became gloomy, as if he was recalling something. In his mind, those vague memories appeared again: a woman sitting on a brick bed, he was nestled in her embrace, the woman was singing a nursery rhyme to coax him to sleep. However, that woman's appearance was indeed blurry.

After a moment, he said slowly, "My biological mother is called Li Fenglan."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, especially Xu Hong. He looked at Li Xiang with even more shock.

Li Xiang continued: "When I was young, my mother left because she could not stand my father's family violence. After that, her whereabouts were always unknown. I was only four years old. "

"When I was young, I wasn't called Li Xiang. The name Li Xiang was changed by me when I went to the orphanage, I hate that man, if it wasn't for him frequently beating up and scolding mother, mother wouldn't have left, I didn't want to follow his surname, so I changed my name to Li Xiang with my mother's."

Even though Li Xiang was only four years old back then, his mother's name had already been engraved in his mind. Even though so many years had passed and his mother's appearance was already a little blurry, his mother's name and the warmth from being in his mother's embrace were deeply engraved in his mind.

Many times he had dreamed that he was lying in the arms of a woman. The warmth was so familiar, so warm, so nostalgic. Although he couldn't see the woman's face in his dreams, he knew that the woman was his mother.

He had never told anyone about those dreams. Many times he had woken up hoping that the blurry figure in the dream would appear in front of him so that he could see the face and call him mother.

Now he heard that familiar name, that familiar name that was deeply engraved in his mind, that name that belonged to that vague figure, that name that belonged to the biological mother that he had always missed.

Mo Fei had once heard Li Xiang talk about his own past, but the others didn't know. Now that they had heard about Li Xiang's past, no one knew what to say, and all of them sank into silence for a moment.

Xu Hong also only looked at Li Xiang silently, and swallowed all of the words that he wanted to say.

Xu Jiaojiao's words broke the silence, "Brother Xu, why did you have such a huge reaction? your mother is also called Li Fenglan? "

Xu Hong looked at Xu Jiaojiao, then at everyone else, and slowly nodded. "That's right, my mother is also called Li Fenglan."

Hearing Xu Hong's words, everyone was even more shocked, "Are you joking? Were you two born of the same mother? Or was it just a coincidence? It's just another name. "

When Xu Hong had just heard Li Xiang call his mother Li Fenglan, he had also thought that it was perhaps just a coincidence;

"Sister Zhang, where is that mother and daughter from?" Just then, Li Xiang asked.

Zhang Min recalled, and said: "She came here to work, and according to my colleague's investigations, Li Fenglan's parents seemed to belong to this city. His parents died when she was just a teenager, and followed her grandmother to grow up.

Hearing that Li Fenglan came from Shandong Province, Xu Hong was very excited, her tears flowed down, and she choked: "Sister Zhang, are you sure this Li Fenglan comes from the rural Ling-Qing prefecture in Shandong Province?"

Seeing Xu Hong's excited expression, everyone seemed to have understood something. Zhang Min said with certainty: "I'm sure, what? Is she really your mother? "

Xu Hong nodded his head in tears, "That should be right, all these years I have been working outside, because I didn't do well, I did not have the face to return.

Back then, Xu Hong's father, Xu Zilin, was relatively poor and had not married at the age of thirty. He had been working at a construction site downtown all along.

At that time, Li Fenglan was squatting in a corner by the side of the road. Xu Zilin looked pitifully at her and gave her 20 yuan. In the following days, Xu Zilin often saw Li Fenglan wandering around there.

After understanding the situation, Xu Zilin helped Li Fenglan find a job in a restaurant out of good intentions, and then often went to visit her. Gradually, they started to develop feelings for each other.

A year later, Li Fenglan went back to her hometown, and then returned back to Xu Zilin's side to marry him. A year later, there would be the current Xu Hong, but, when Xu Hong was twelve years old, Xu Hong's father died in a car accident on the way home, and the driver escaped.

After that, it was Li Fenglan who brought Xu Hong along and raised him up. After Xu Hong joined the army, he left to fight outside, but unfortunately, he never made it out, and always let his mother live a good life.

Now that he knew his mother was here and was working in a supermarket, his heart ached. It was just that he did not know why his mother was here. He did not tell his mother that he was in this city.

Also, hearing Li Xiang say that his mother would frequently observe him from the shadows, then why would his mother observe Li Xiang in the dark? This point puzzled him.

Xu Hong wiped away his tears and said: "Sister Zhang, do you know where my mother is? I see her in the perfume. "

"I know. She rented a room in the Old Town. I'll write you the address later."

After that, everyone looked at each other speechlessly as they focused on eating. After the meal, Zhang Min gave Xu Hong her address.

"Brother Xu, I want to go with you to visit Auntie." Li Xiang said.

Xu Hong glanced at you and nodded, "Alright, you can come with me."

Li Xiang then said to Mo Fei and the others: "I'll send you guys home, rest early. Brother Xu and I don't have to come back for a while, and also, Xuan Zi doesn't need to return to the hotel today. Since Brother Xu and I will not be staying tonight, help me protect Mo Fei and the others."

Wen Zhixuan nodded his head, "Rest assured Brother Sheng, I'll take care of Chief Mo's safety."

After Li Xiang and Xu Hong sent Mo Fei and the others home, they drove to the old city district that Zhang Min had mentioned.

The two of them arrived at a courtyard house and found a small, shabby looking room at the very back. Xu Hong knocked on the door.

Then, the door opened. A woman that Xu Hong and Li Xiang were very familiar with appeared in front of them.

Li Xiang was familiar with this woman because she had been secretly observing him many times.

When Xu Hong saw this woman, he was stunned, tears flowing out of his eyes. He went forward and hugged the woman tightly, "Mom!"

With just one word, Li Xiang understood everything. This woman who had always been observing him secretly was Xu Hong's mother. For some reason, when Li Xiang saw this woman, he felt a sense of familiarity. Now, this feeling was even more intense, could it be that he was infected by Xu Hong's current emotions?

When Li Fenglan suddenly saw her son, she was very excited, but when she saw Li Xiang behind her, she was stunned.

Li Fenglan looked at Li Xiang, and what appeared on her face was astonishment, disbelief, and a hint of excitement. At the same time, it was also a bit nervous.

Seeing Li Xiang looking at him, Li Fenglan quickly avoided his gaze.

"Mom, when did you come here? You're so old now, why are you not staying at home? Xu Hong wiped his tears and asked with concern.

"Oh, it's nothing, I just wanted to take a look at my old home. I suddenly thought about earning some money by working here," Li Fenglan looked at Li Xiang and anxiously said: "Is this your friend? Get them in the house and don't stand outside. "

After entering the room, Li Xiang and Xu Hong felt a wave of heat. It was a fifteen square meter place without any fans or appliances, only a bed, a small table, two small stools, and a light bulb that wasn't very bright on the ceiling.

Seeing such living conditions, both of them felt their hearts ache.

"Mom, why do you live in a place like this? The environment here is so poor, can anyone live here? "Pack up your things and come with me. Move in with me and quit your job tomorrow. My salary can support you." Xu Hong saw that his mother lived in such an environment and felt especially uncomfortable in his heart.

Xu Hong had told him before that he would let his mother live a good life, but he had never had any money left. Now that his income was higher, he could let his mother live a comfortable life.

"No need, I think this place is pretty good," Li Fenglan evaded. "I'll spend some money myself to earn some money and give you some savings, it's not easy for you to earn some money, keep it safe and don't spend it carelessly, just marry a wife in the future and live a good life."

When Li Xiang and Xu Hong heard Li Fenglan's words, both of them shed tears. This was the love of a mother to her children. This kind of love was the most sincere and selfless love an ordinary mother would have towards their children.

Although they could not give their children luxurious clothing and food, but they could do their best to let their children get married. At the very least, they could let their children live a normal and ordinary life.

Li Xiang thought that if his mother was by his side right now, would she care and love him like this woman in front of him who had the same name as his mother? Li Xiang thought in his heart.

Unknowingly, Li Xiang's tears had once again fallen.

"How should I address you?" At this time, Li Fenglan revealed his true feelings, and asked while looking at Li Xiang with deep concern.

Oh, "Li Xiang hurriedly wiped away his tears and said:" Aunt, I am Li Xiang, Xu Hong and I are the best brothers.

"Oh, Li Xiang, Li Xiang? Your surname is Li? Why is his surname Li? " Li Fenglan seemed to be muttering to himself, after that he suddenly blurted out a question, "When you were young, you didn't use that name, right?"
