Xiao Taohong didn't want to mention this matter now, and whispered: "I will tell you in the future that we two can be considered as guarding the clouds and seeing the moon brightly. When you are back, our hard life will be over."

Fang Kewen said: "I didn't tell you that if you encounter any unbearable difficulties, go to my father." Thinking of his father who had died of illness, Fang Kewen couldn't help feeling sad.

Xiao Taohong said: "You promised me that I would come back, so I thought that I would just wait for a few more days, but I didn't expect to wait for you but not come back. I waited for five years before I knew it, and I was old."

Fang Kewen shook his head and said, "Don't grow old, in my heart you will always be the most beautiful one in the world."

Xiao Taohong smiled embarrassedly and said softly: "After you left, you encountered some trouble. You wanted to go find your father, but later I heard that your father was seriously ill and passed away soon. You are not at home. Whether your Fang family recognizes me or not, Siwen is always the blood of your Fang family. I dare not go to mourn. I can only wait for your father to be buried and take Siwen to secretly worship your father's grave. It can be regarded as fulfilling your filial piety for you."

Fang Kewen's eyes were wet with emotion. Although Xiao Taohong was humble, she was so understanding. She raised her daughter alone and waited for herself for so many years. She must try her best to compensate them for the mother and mother in her lifetime. Only in this way can she be worthy of Xiao Taohong's hard work to her.

Xiao Taohong said: "I wanted to go quietly without attracting the attention of outsiders, but I didn't expect to meet the old man when I left." The old man she mentioned was Fang Kewen's grandfather Fang Shiming.

Fang Kewen only remembered the cause of going to Qingfu Building to find Xiao Taohong. Grandpa obviously knew where Xiao Taohong was, and even told him to go to Xiao Taohong to ask about what happened to the Fang family.

Xiao Taohong said: "The old man actually knew about us for a long time. He told me that you might be dead. I firmly don't believe it. The old man gave me a silver note and asked me to leave Tianjin and live a good life. I confiscated it. He should have guessed Siwen's identity. When he was about to part, he said that he was the same as mine and felt that you were still alive. He reminded me that if I stayed in Tianjin, I would never take the initiative to contact Fang's family."

Fang Kewen then told the reason why he came to find Xiao Taohong after being guided by his grandfather. Xiao Taohong was quite different after hearing this and said in surprise: "Does he really say that? Apart from the old master, I have no contact with anyone from the Fang family. How could I know about the Fang family?"

Fang Kewen said: "Think about it carefully, what else did he say to you at that time?"

Xiao Taohong thought hard, and after a while, she said, "By the way, he gave Dou'er a long life lock." She came to her sleeping daughter and carefully pulled the long life lock out of her neck.

Fang Kewen saw it clearly. This long-lived lock was the one he wore when he was a child. In other words, grandpa must have guessed Siwen's identity, otherwise he would not have given this long-lived lock to her. He carefully removed the long-lived lock and then turned the three wheels at the bottom of the lock. The long-lived lock was intricately constructed and could change the font arrangement above the wheel by turning. The long-lived lock made a light click and disintegrated from front to back. A small paper scroll appeared inside the hollow. Fang Kewen took out the paper scroll and spread it out, but saw three words written above Xi Jinxuan.

Xiao Taohong held her breath, afraid of disturbing him, so she waited until Fang Kewen unfolded the scroll and asked in a low voice: "What is this?"

Fang Kewen said: "Gate name." His voice could not suppress his excitement. The old man worked in business all his life. I don't know how many ups and downs it took to build this big family business for the Fang family. Although Fang Kewen still doesn't know what happened to the Fang family, he firmly believes that the grandfather who is used to the strong winds and waves will not be so easy to capsize.

Fang Kewen felt something was wrong from the moment he knew that his uncle Fang Kangwei became the ruler of the Fang family. After seeing his grandfather, his feeling became particularly strong. The old man was not confused. Not only did he recognize his identity at the first time, he also guided him to reunite with Xiao Taohong and his daughter. It is not difficult to infer from Xiao Taohong's narrative that his grandfather had already known that Siwen was his own flesh and blood and the bones of their Fang family. The old man did not publicly recognize him, and he still watched them suffer. The most likely reason was that at that time, the old man had realized the arrival of the family crisis. He could not even guarantee his own safety. He did not admit that the safety of Xiao Taohong and his daughter was actually due to the protection of their mother and daughter.

The old man was domineering by nature and had a strong desire for power. Even if he had appointed Fang Kewen's father Fang Kang as his successor, he still asked him to make a decision whenever he encountered a major event. It can be said that the old man was always the highest ruler of the Fang family before Fang Kewen disappeared. Fang Kewen returned this time and found that the changes in the Fang family were not less than those that happened to him. His father died of illness and his grandfather was paralyzed. The power of the Fang family fell into the hands of Fang Kangwei, the old man was the least optimistic and the most unscrupulous Fang Kangwei. On the surface, Fang Kangwei was the only male survivor of the Fang family now. It was natural to inherit the family business, but the grandfather's performance in the hospital made Fang Kewen doubt the hidden conspiracy.

The old man had a backup plan, and Xijinxuan and Fang Kewen were very familiar with him. He was a playful person by nature. His family sent him to Yanjing University to study finance. However, he had no interest in finance. Instead, he had a special liking for the remote archaeology major. So he secretly transferred to the archaeology department and studied under Professor Ma Boxuan, who had great achievements in both archaeology and history. After the family learned about this, his father Fang Kangcheng was so angry that he almost broke off the father-son relationship with him. Later, the old man came forward to resolve the conflict between them.

Xi Jinxuan is located in Liulichang, Peking, and he was also connected because Fang Kewen loves to play. At that time, he often went to Liulichang for a walk in his spare time and bought some antiques and cultural relics. After a long time, he found that he didn't get much money to wander around like this, so he had the idea of ​​opening a shop to buy antiques. He didn't dare to tell his father about this matter, so he could only discuss it with the old master. Although the old master was harsh, he was extremely doting towards his grandson. He did not make any statement at the time, but later he quietly set up a shop in Liulichang. After repairing it, he gave it to him on Fang Kewen's 22nd birthday.

Fang Kewen still remembers it vividly. At that time, the father and the other two agreed that this was the secret between them. No one except them, and even Fang Kewen's father was no exception. Fang Kewen had the problem of a rich young man, and he was interested in too many things and lacked ambition in his work. What's more, Liuli Factory was mixed with fish and dragons, and it was not easy to run a business there. His enthusiasm gradually faded with graduation. He almost stopped even the store in the year before graduation. After graduation, his family sent him to study in Europe, and he forgot about his shop. Later, he accidentally remembered him and asked the old man. The old man just said something lightly and had already changed. Fang Kewen never thought about it again.

If it weren't for opening this long-lived lock, Fang Kewen almost forgot that he had a shop. Based on his understanding of the old man, the old man would not leave this thing for no reason. The long-lived lock was worn by him since he was a child. He gave it to Siwen. Only he and the old man knew the way to crack the password. The old man hid the name of the store in the long-lived lock that only the two of them knew, obviously intentionally.

Fang Kewen was very excited. Although his grandfather didn't say anything, he should be the same as Xiao Taohong in his heart, believing that he would return one day.

Xiao Taohong yawned and said softly: "It's time to go to bed."

Fang Kewen was quite uneasy at this time, and he whispered: "You go to bed first, I'll go out for a walk."

Xiao Taohong nodded and thoughtfully put on a cotton jacket for him: "The night is cold, the wind is cold, don't stay for too long."

Fang Kewen nodded, walked out of the room, and carefully brought the door. Just as he saw Luo Lie support Arnold who was already drunk, Fang Kewen limped over and helped Luo Lie open the door. Luo Lie dragged Arnold to the bed, then helped him take off his leather boots, and panted: "This guy has not changed his mind, secretly went to the casino and lost all his energy, and came back like this." Looking at Arnold who was lying on the bed and shouting loudly, Luo Lie was helpless. He thought that this guy had aroused his fighting spirit and blood in the continual battles of Pale Mountain. From then on, he changed his mind and faced his life actively, but he didn't expect that he would immediately return to his old ways after returning from Pale Mountain.

Fang Kewen said: "Everyone has his own troubles, maybe he has something to worry about!"

Luo Lie heard something in Fang Kewen's words, took a quilt and helped Arno cover him, turned around and said to Fang Kewen: "I haven't slept so late?"

"I can't sleep!" Fang Kewen said again and suggested: "Go out and have two drinks."

Luo Lie laughed: "A small separation is better than a newlywed. Haven't Mr. Fang heard this before?"

Fang Kewen smiled rare: "There is a night market next door." It's not that he doesn't want to accompany Xiao Tao Gongniang, but he's full of thoughts and wants to find someone to talk to, but he is worried that Xiao Taohong is worried about himself.

Luo Lie accompanied Fang Kewen to the night market next to the hotel. Such night markets are very common in Tianjin Port District, but there are not too many Japanese concessions. A casserole stewed with various types of pig distant, a hot pot, served with cold dishes such as peanuts and kelp, three or five people, and a few kilograms of loose wine to ensure that you can come back with a good time.

In the past, Fang Kewen, who valued lifestyle, would not have appeared in such a night market stall, but his arrogance has been tempered by five years of claustrophobia. Now he is willing to remain silent, and even in the dark, he still does not want to shine a trace of light.
