After Dong Yu adjusted her mentality, she returned to the front hall with the teapot in her hand. Qiao Shanhua immediately smiled when she saw him, without hiding her inner joy at all.Looking at Qiao Changdong again, it was more than that.In this situation, Dong Yu suddenly became a little timid, and his steps became stiff and clumsy, and every step he took felt like a thousand catties, as if... he was not prepared enough.

Dong Yu has no turning back, he can only choose to face it.Dong Yu walked towards them and said with a smile, "I don't know if you like drinking jasmine tea or not. I only have this here."

"I like it. Your Uncle Qiao and I both like drinking tea." Qiao Shanhua felt that, let alone a pot of jasmine tea, even if what Dong Yu gave her now was Hedinghong, she would drink it with a smile.

Dong Yu was a little at a loss, and after putting down the teapot, he could only stand there and laugh dryly.It was Qiao Changdong who noticed Dong Yu's discomfort and embarrassment first, and quickly said to Qiao Shanhua, "Drink tea and taste how it tastes." After speaking, Qiao Changdong lightly kicked Qiao Shanhua under the table.

Qiao Shanhua was overjoyed, she couldn't care about many things, she just wanted to recognize her son.After Qiao Changdong's kick, Qiao Shanhua suddenly realized that she had gone too far, and quickly averted her gaze from looking at Dong Yu, and took a sip with her head down while holding the teacup.

Qiao Shanhua doesn't drink tea very much, perhaps because of her work, she got used to the existence of coffee, and now she suddenly drank the jasmine tea that Dong Yu made for her, which made her fall in love with the taste of tea. The one who came here with joy and joy, and now tasted the tea made by Dong Yu, couldn't hold it back for a while, and she even cried.

Tears fell into the teacup one after another, Qiao Shanhua just kept her head down and never raised it up, only her slightly trembling shoulders told others that she was crying.

Dong Yu found that Qiao Shanhua was crying, and panicked for a while, "A...Auntie."

Qiao Changdong was sitting next to Qiao Shanhua, and it was impossible not to notice it. He sighed as if sighing, and comforted Qiao Shanhua and said, "Okay, what's the matter?"

Qiao Shanhua's sobbing became more and more intense, and then turned into a soft cry. She still didn't look up, and Qiao Changdong was comforting her.

Qiao Changdong actually had a bit of a sore nose, but he was a man after all, and it was impossible for him to express his inner feelings openly like Qiao Shanhua.Qiao Changdong patted her on the back lightly. After Qiao Shanhua's crying faded away, Qiao Changdong looked at Dong Yu and said with a smile, "Let's sit down and talk."

Dong Yu nodded awkwardly, pulled a chair and sat across from them.

Qiao Shanhua was so emotional that she couldn't get back to the topic for a while, so Qiao Changdong had no choice but to resist the heavy task of identifying the son alone, and smiled and said to Dong Yu: "Can you take care of the store by yourself? Is there enough manpower, do you want to recruit a few more people?"

Dong Yu suddenly felt that Qiao Changdong was also quite nervous, otherwise he wouldn't have nothing to say.Dong Yu's heart that was beating wildly just now slowly calmed down. He smiled and said, "I'm not very tired. As for the manpower in the store, it's enough for now."

"That's good." Qiao Changdong realized his nervousness, and even the hand that comforted Qiao Shanhua unconsciously used strength.Qiao Changdong cheered himself up in his heart, and finally said what he wanted to say, "Did Bai Ruiyang tell you everything?"

Dong Yu subconsciously clenched his hands into fists, looked at Qiao Changdong and nodded heavily, "Say it."

"Then..." Qiao Changdong paused, "Your mother has been looking for you all the time, and never gave up. I only found out about your existence after returning to China. As a father, I really failed, but... ..." Qiao Changdong's vision gradually blurred, which was a sign that tears were about to pour out. He suppressed and said, "But, you have to believe me, I didn't mean it, and your mother didn't want you, we..." Qiao Changdong started to choke up, and quickly turned his head away and said, "Can you forgive us?"

Dong Yu's thumb was wringing rapidly under the table, he was a little flustered, he didn't know what to say, he looked at the two people in front of him, and after a long silence he said: "I am...how did I get here? Dong Yu chose the most euphemistic way of asking, he just wanted to know how he was "abandoned".

Qiao Changdong turned his head and said in a very embarrassed way: "Son, it's all our fault that you have suffered so much, but please believe that your mother and I don't want you, we both care about you ,real."

Dong Yu lowered his head, not daring to look at them, and said, "I just want to know why I..."

Qiao Changdong interrupted him, "This is all the grievances of the previous generation, do you really want to know?"

"Think." Dong Yu said firmly.

Qiao Changdong sighed, "Well, since you want to know, then I'll tell you." Qiao Changdong leaned on the back of the chair, his eyes seemed to be recalling the past, and slowly told everything that happened to him and Qiao Shanhua back then. Dong Yu.

How can the long past be finished in one or two sentences, from noon to evening, from day to night, this story finally came to an end.

"This is what happened to us. You should understand why you are here."

Dong Yu has calmed down, like a lake without ripples, he never thought that he would arrive at Dong's house like this, let alone that Qiao Shanhua and Qiao Changdong, after going through so many ups and downs, he wanted to find his biological parents before , and asked what was the reason for not wanting him. Now that he understood, the little bit of resentment hidden in his heart was finally dispelled.

"Son, do you hate us?" Qiao Changdong asked.

Dong Yu hesitated for a moment, then said, "I used to hate it, but now I don't hate it anymore."

Qiao Changdong heaved a sigh of relief, and the hand holding Qiao Shanhua's hand tightened. He was telling Qiao Shanhua, did you hear me, our children don't hate us anymore, as long as we don't hate, we may still be a family.

"Then..." Qiao Changdong finally expressed his long-awaited wish, "Son, are you willing to recognize us?"

Dong Yu opened his mouth and didn't speak for a long time. He really couldn't say it. He obviously wanted to call them Mom and Dad, but... his mouth couldn't control him. silent.

Dong Yu's mood began to become unstable. Qiao Changdong noticed it immediately, and he hurriedly said, "It's okay, you and I... Mom... I know you won't be able to adapt for a while, shall we take our time?"

Dong Yu didn't speak, but took out a cigarette from his pocket with trembling hands, and lit it quickly. When the smoke was lingering, Dong Yu was finally relieved, and he was actually sweating just now.

Seeing that Dong Yu did not refuse, Qiao Changdong continued: "Your mother and I will stay here for a while, if possible, can we come and see you every day?"

Dong Yu took a puff of cigarette, then hummed in a low voice.

Qiao Changdong smiled. It was the joy that came from the bottom of my heart. This joy, as if passed through the palm of my hand, was passed to the heart of Qiao Shanhua, who had kept her head down and kept silent. They finally found their child as usual. After so many difficulties and obstacles, their family finally came together.

Washington DC, USA.

After Dong Jinfeng and Shen Tuochen got off the plane, the secretary of the headquarters was in charge of driving and sent them to Shen Tuochen's villa. Due to the fatigue of the boat, Dong Jinfeng never came out of his room after entering his room, and slept until the next day seven in the morning.After washing up, he hurried downstairs, but he didn't see Shen Tuochen in the living room, he reckoned that Shen Tuochen was still fast asleep.

Shen Tuochen didn't give Dong Jinfeng any orders last night, so he has nothing to do now, he can only sit in the living room and read financial magazines.It didn't matter what Dong Jinfeng looked at, he was fascinated by it, he had no idea how long it had passed, until Shen Tuochen came down from upstairs in his nightgown, and he bounced off the sofa reflexively.

Seeing Dong Jinfeng's reaction so violently, Shen Tuochen couldn't help laughing and said, "Is it uncomfortable for a person to appear suddenly?"

Dong Jinfeng nodded in panic, "It's a little... no... no, I..."

Shen Tuochen smiled more unrestrainedly, "Don't be nervous, in the future we will not only work together, but also live under the same roof, just get used to it." After speaking, Shen Tuochen entered the specially designed small bar and poured a glass of water Then he said, "What do you want for breakfast?"

Dong Jinfeng looked at him stupidly, but didn't speak.

Shen Tuochen looked at Dong Jinfeng as if he saw Dong Yu. These two brothers really look alike.

"If you don't talk, then I can decide." Shen Tuochen usually cooks breakfast by himself, although there is one more person now, but he still has no plans to make an exception.

Shen Tuochen turned on the fire, and took out eggs and bread from the cabinet. Breakfast was fried eggs, sliced ​​bread, and milk, which was nutritious without any effort.Shen Tuochen's movements were very nimble, and the breakfast was ready in a short time. He came out with a plate, and Dong Jinfeng was still standing beside the sofa. He smiled and pointed to the dining table and said, "Stop standing there, come and eat, and try my handicrafts." Sample."

Dong Jinfeng followed after hearing the words, and after sitting down, he didn't dare to look at Shen Tuochen.

Shen Tuochen didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Are you afraid of me?"

"Ah...ah?" Dong Jinfeng raised his head blankly, "I'm not afraid of you, I'm just..."

"Okay, I know you're nervous." Shen Tuochen poured milk and put it in front of Dong Jinfeng, "After breakfast, I'll take you out for a stroll, and take you to the school to report."

"I..." Dong Jinfeng was about to say that there is no need to bother, but just as he was about to blurt out the words, he suddenly thought that he didn't know the way.

"Let's eat." Shen Tuochen smiled, flipped through the magazines on the table, and ate while reading.
