What happened afterwards was like a dream to Chu Chengli. Listening to Shen Tang's pleadings of "Brother Chengli" and "Save me", his mind went blank. He was so blank that he could not remember many specific details. Only some scattered fragments remained in his memory.

They hugged on the street corner that day.

And received a very light kiss.

Finally, he carried the crying Shen Tang back home. Amid the furious scolding of his family, he made Shen Tang a cup of sugar water, and when she woke up, he promised her that he would take her to see the best doctor.

That night, Chu Chengli went to find Ting Yumian. He didn't know how to explain the decision he had made. He only knew that no matter what, he had to give an explanation to his fiancée in person. Whether it was an apology or being scolded, this was the price he had to bear.

However, when he arrived at Ting Yumian's parents' home, he found out that Ting Yumian had visited him during the day and gave him a wedding dress she had made herself.

But when he came back, he was distraught.

Ting Yumian informed her family before he arrived, unilaterally canceled the wedding, packed her luggage and left the capital that day.

Since then, the two have lost contact, and Chu Chengli has tried every possible way but still couldn't find the person.

Later, three-year-old Chu Tiankuo was sent to his residence.

Chu Tiankuo's name was given by Ting Yumian.

The little guy is almost a miniature version of him.

Chu Chengli knew what was going on instantly without the person who brought it explaining anything.

Tu Lan thought about Chu Chengli's question for a long time.

"The first ten years were because of hatred." Tu Lan answered honestly, "The last twenty years were not like that. Ever since you had a daughter, I no longer hate you. It's not that I kept my information secret, but the Ting Yumian you knew in the past no longer exists. The person named Tu Lan, who you were completely unfamiliar with, is me now. So Chu Chengli, the past is over. I have my own life now, and you have your own life too. We don't need to play out the sad drama of old lovers reuniting after a long separation. I hope we can be well in the future and not bother each other."

At this time, it had been some time since Chu Chengli knew that Tu Lan was the person he had been looking for.

During this period, Chu Chengli was afraid to show up because he felt it was presumptuous.

More than 30 years have passed, and their only connection now is their son, nothing else.

He didn't even have the right to ask a polite question like "How have you been these years?"

"I understand." Chu Chengli agreed.

After a while, he found the only topic to talk about and asked, "As for Tian Kuo, when are you going to talk to him?"

"Let's wait until he gets married." Tu Lan said, "The boy has been having some emotional difficulties recently. I'm afraid if he knows now, he won't tell me if he has any more worries."

The topic of their son seemed to have opened a small rift between the two of them.

Chu Chengli sighed and complained, "That kid used to tell me everything, but I don't know when he started to hide things from me. If I want to know about him, I have to ask around."

Tu Lan didn't say anything, because it was her responsibility that Chu Tiankuo learned to hide this matter.

It was she who asked Chu Tiankuo not to tell Chu Chengli about their contact.

"What happened to Tian Kuo in his relationship?" Chu Chengli asked, "Is he still chasing after that big star?"

"No." Tu Lan said, "Now the target has changed."

"It's time to change. I've told that kid before that when it comes to finding a partner, besides looking at whether you like the person, you also have to look at how much you have," Chu Chengli said as if he had suddenly opened up. "Although our family has a little money, we are not a wealthy family. He doesn't have a serious career and can't match the big name of a star. It's okay to play around when you are young, but now you are over 30, and the main thing to find a partner is to live a good life. It's okay to find a girl from an ordinary family. As long as the other party has a good personality, is kind-hearted, and can plan for the future in a down-to-earth manner."

After hearing Chu Chengli's words, Tu Lan sneered: "No wonder..."

"What's the wonder?"

Tu Lan said: "No wonder your son is so timid and doesn't dare to pursue someone he likes."

"Impossible." Chu Chengli said firmly, "That guy is so shameless that he even dares to pursue a top celebrity. Is there anyone he wouldn't dare to pursue?"

After he finished speaking, seeing that Tu Lan didn't bother to pay attention to him, Chu Chengli realized that it might be true, so he asked weakly: "So, who did that kid fall in love with now?"

Tu Lan said word by word: "Fu, Jing, Wei."

Chu Chengli: “…”

"It just so happens that I'm worried about what to do to convince my son to pursue her if she likes him." Tu Lan raised her chin slightly, "I'll leave this task to you."

Chu Chengli laughed dryly: "This... Isn't this a bit too difficult? Fu Jingwei is not only the daughter of the Fu family, but also the president of the Fu Group. Her status in the Fu family is second only to Fu Yehan. Our son... you just said that he doesn't have much of a future. Apart from eating, drinking and having fun, he has no other specialties. How can the two of them be together?"

"How can it be impossible?" Tu Lan said unhappily, "The guy has already slept with her. If it's impossible for him, then it's even more impossible for others."

"What?" Chu Chengli's eyes widened in disbelief, "You said Tian Kuo slept with Fu Jingwei? That kid, how dare he?"

"Maybe like father, like son." Tu Lan rolled her eyes at Chu Chengli, "You don't have to panic. My son is not a scumbag. At least he knows how to change his mind and fall in love with someone else. After sleeping with a girl, he will take the initiative to keep a distance from the previous one. He won't have any lingering feelings or have two secrets at the same time..."

"Master Chu."

Before Tu Lan could finish her words, a respectful address suddenly came from outside the door.

"Didn't you just leave us? Why are you back?"

"Did you forget to take something?"

"Why are you standing here all the time? Aren't you going in?"

As soon as the apprentice finished speaking, Tu Lan reacted and walked from the living room to the door.

Chu Chengli followed closely behind.

"Tian Kuo." Tu Lan called him instinctively.

Chu Tiankuo stood motionless beside an open window on the south side of the living room, his hands hanging at his sides clenched into fists, his knuckles bulging and whitening from exerting too much force.

"Tian Kuo." Chu Chengli also called him, trying to get some reaction from him.

However, Chu Tiankuo remained motionless.

His whole body was tense, so tense that if you looked closely you would see that he was not completely motionless, but was shaking uncontrollably.

Seeing this, Tu Lan and Chu Chengli stepped forward at the same time, stood on the left and right sides of Chu Tiankuo, pulled up his hands respectively, and gently stroked the backs of his hands that were almost stretched to the limit.

After a long time, Chu Tiankuo suddenly closed his eyes, and two lines of tears flowed silently.

"I hate it so much...but I don't know who to hate!"

After Chu Tiankuo finished speaking, he shook off Chu Chengli and Tu Lan's hands, went straight to the living room, found his mobile phone that had slipped into the crack of the sofa, and left Ifyou without looking back.
