Chapter 104 Reunion
"Chengcheng, please play here for a while. Mommy will take you to see grandpa later, okay?"
"Okay, Chengcheng wants to prepare a gift for grandpa." The little guy rummaged around the room for a long time but couldn't find a suitable gift. He sat on the carpet depressed, pouting even when he went out.
Cheng Peichen put the two boxes of tea in his hand in front of Chengcheng, "This is a gift for grandpa. Grandpa likes to drink this kind of tea the most, so you have to keep it."
Chengcheng struggled to carry the tea leaves, "Dad, don't worry, I will definitely protect grandpa's gift."
Chi Ruochu put on a coat and came out of the room, "I've packed it up, let's go."
On the way, I heard Cheng Peichen talk about Chen Xiangheng's situation in the past few years. After retirement, he lived a leisurely life with nothing to worry about. He always followed the doctor's advice to take care of his body, and his life was quite comfortable.
Mrs. Cheng has lived with Uncle Chen in the past few years. The two have become good friends, have similar hobbies, and can talk together.
Chi Ruochu missed him so much that she sent him a message about her escape from marriage. After explaining it, she didn't dare to say anything else. She was afraid that he would be angry and also worried that he would be worried.
With Uncle Chen's temperament, he would definitely give her a good talk when he met her.
I hope Uncle Chen can look out for Chengcheng and say less about her.
The old housekeeper opened the door. When he saw Chi Ruochu, his eyes were full of surprise. He immediately turned around and shouted: "Director Chen, Xiaochu is back, Xiaochu is back."
Chen Xiangheng was sitting on a chair reading the newspaper. When he heard the noise, he quickly took off his glasses and said, "Xiao Chu, you are finally back."
Chi Ruochu had tears in his eyes, "Uncle Chen, I'm back."
He pushed Chengcheng beside him, who held the tea leaves and walked towards the man on the chair with difficulty.
"Grandpa, grandpa, my name is Chengcheng, Chengchengcheng. This is the tea that mommy and daddy bought for you."
The little guy was timid, and the box he was carrying was almost as tall as the others.
Chen Xiangheng was stunned on his chair, apparently unable to realize that such a little carrot had entered his home.
"What did you call me?"
Chengcheng looked back at Mommy, and at Chi Ruochu's nod, Chengcheng called out again: "Grandpa."
Chen Xiangheng looked at Chi Ruochu's eyes and understood something in his heart. With tears in his eyes, he opened his arms to the little guy and said, "Come here, give grandpa a hug."
Chengcheng was walking awkwardly while holding the tea leaves. Chen Xiangheng quickly put the tea leaves aside and took the little guy into his arms.
"Our Chengcheng is so well-behaved."
Chi Ruochu sat next to him, nervously grabbing his clothes and not daring to speak.
Chengcheng looked at Chen Xiangheng pitifully, "Grandpa, Mommy said it was her fault that she escaped from marriage three years ago. Please don't be angry with Mommy, okay?"
The big eyes were dazzling, and there was a bit of caution in them.
Chen Xiangheng touched his head and liked this sensible little baby even more.
"How could I be angry with your mommy? I watched her grow up. I know your mommy. She does everything for a reason. She cannot make trouble unreasonably."
Chi Ruochu blamed herself even more after hearing this. She should have told Uncle Chen what was in her heart earlier.
Uncle Chen has paid so much for her, but she made him still worry about herself at such an old age.
Chen Xiangheng looked at Chi Ruochu lovingly, "Xiaochu, don't leave again when you come back. It would be great for our family to be reunited."
Chi Ruochu nodded solemnly, "I've done all the things I need to do, and I won't leave again."
"There are good ribs in the mall today, I bought them all..."
Mrs. Cheng stopped abruptly mid-sentence.
"Xiaochu, you are finally back," she hurriedly walked to Chi Ruochu and held her hand, "Mom bought a lot of ribs and I will give you a good supplement today."
"Tell me about you. Before you got married, you ran away to another city. This made your mother worried for so long, for fear that something might happen to you."
There was genuine concern in Mrs. Cheng's eyes, and she looked at Chi Ruochu over and over again, almost staring into a hole in her.
"If you lose weight, you must not eat well outside."
Mrs. Cheng's voice was slightly choked, "Mom will make you some delicious food to make up for it."
"Yeah, thank you, Mom."
Chi Ruochu then introduced Chengcheng to her, "Mom, this is your grandson, Chengcheng."
"Hello grandma, I am Chengcheng."
Mrs. Cheng was stunned for a moment, then she happily took out a stack of banknotes from her bag, "My dear grandson, take it quickly, this is the red envelope grandma has prepared for you."
"Thank you grandma."
Chengcheng's well-behaved appearance made Mrs. Cheng's heart melt.
Then, she glared at Cheng Peichen and said, "Peichen, what's wrong with you? You didn't even tell me that I have a grandson."
Cheng Peichen stood behind Chi Ruochu, putting his hands on her shoulders, "Mom, didn't I give you a surprise?"
"You still have the nerve to say it," Mrs. Cheng became more and more angry, the less likely she was to say it. "When I gave birth to you, I went through hell and knew how difficult it is for women to give birth. It would be better for you to hide it and tuck it in."
I’ve been busy at home for three years, but I didn’t know how to sneak a peek at Xiao Chu.”
"If a husband can't even stay with his wife when she gives birth, then what's the use of you as a husband?"
Mrs. Cheng was furious and disliked her son even more.
In the past three years, she thought about it all the time and thought that her son had done something to offend Xiaochu, which caused her family to live in another country for three years.
Now that she has brought back a child who looks so similar to Cheng Peichen, Mrs. Cheng has already imagined the scene of Chi Ruochu suffering outside.
Chengcheng also said: "My godmother said that when I gave birth to me, my mother wanted to give birth naturally, but the pain was so severe that I couldn't give birth, so she had a caesarean section and stayed in the operating room for a day and a night."
Everyone felt heartbroken after hearing this, especially Mrs. Cheng.
"It was the same when I gave birth to Peichen. It hurt so much that I wanted to hit him to death, but I finally gave birth to him. Xiaochu, thank you for your hard work."
Cheng Peichen's hand on Chi Ruochu's shoulder tightened, and he slowly squatted down, his voice full of apology.
"Honey, I'm sorry for you, I didn't stay with you when you gave birth to your child."
Chi Ruochu patted his hand and gave everyone a reassuring expression.
"Things have passed. We are reunited now. We have to look forward to the future."
Mrs. Cheng wiped her tears and said, "Pei Chen, hurry up and help me in the kitchen. Let's make a good meal today."
Cheng Peichen patted Chi Ruochu on the shoulder and followed him into the kitchen.
Chen Xiangheng hugged Chengcheng and continued to talk to Chi Ruochu.
"I have stayed in Jiangcheng all these years. Cheng Peichen is a very good kid. He works hard every day and is busy with the company. When he is free, he comes to accompany me, an old man. His private life is also very clean. He is a really good person to you."
