The man and woman in front of the dining table looked very luxurious and decent in appearance, temperament, and the way they were dressed at home.
The man among them had a haggard face, and his face and lips had lost the normal color of blood. He looked like he had been ill for a long time, or even terminally ill.
But the woman next to him was extremely well-maintained and very beautiful. Her appearance was very similar to Gu Qiuyi's, and she looked to be in her 30s.
Ye Chen recognized the two people at a glance. They were Uncle Gu, whom he had known since childhood, and his wife Aunt Lin.
Just when Ye Chen recognized the two of them, these two people also recognized him!
Gu Yanzhong's expression was extremely shocked. His face was already very thin, and now his eyes were wide open. He was trembling and wanted to say something, but it seemed to be stuck in his throat.
Lin Wanqiu on the side was also stunned. She stood up suddenly, pointed at Ye Chen with one hand, and covered her mouth with the other: "You...you...you are...
..Are you Ye...are you Ye Chen???"
Ye Chen's nose felt sore, he sighed softly, and said with a trembling voice: "Aunt Lin, I am Ye Chen..."
After saying that, he looked at Gu Yanzhong, who was trembling and speechless, and said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Gu... Hello! And Aunt Lin, hello too!"
Gu Yanzhong looked at him and murmured, "Are you really Chen'er?"
Ye Chen nodded seriously and said, "Uncle Gu, it's me, I'm Chen'er, do you still know me?"
"I recognize...I recognize..." Gu Yanzhong wiped his tears and said, "You look just like your father when he was young, and you are 60-70% similar to the photos of your grandfather when he was young...
....”
With that said, he stood up with great effort and walked towards Ye Chen.
Ye Chen hurriedly stepped forward, came to Gu Yanzhong in a few steps, supported him, and said with gratitude and guilt: "Uncle Gu, I have made you and Aunt Lin miss you for so many years..."
Gu Yanzhong wiped away his old muddy tears and swallowed: "Chen'er, where have you been all these years? In these years, Uncle Gu has traveled almost all over the world to find you, but there has been no whereabouts of you.
....."
Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Uncle Gu, in fact, I have been living in Jinling all these years. I grew up in an orphanage before I was eighteen."
"How could it be?!" Gu Yanzhong blurted out: "I went to Jinling to look for you several times. I went to welfare homes, orphanages, and rescue stations every time, but I never found your whereabouts..."
Ye Chen said with red eyes: "Uncle Gu, Tang Sihai, who was the housekeeper of the Ye family back then, sent people to secretly take over the welfare home. He was afraid that someone wanted to harm me, so he hid all my information. Even I was worried about this.
I don’t know, it was only after I met Nannan a few days ago that I realized something was wrong, so I went to Tang Sihai to ask, and he told me the hidden truth..."
Gu Yanzhong was startled for a moment, and after a moment he nodded in realization and said: "I see, that's it! It seems that Tang Sihai is indeed a man who knows how to repay his kindness. Your father treated him with great kindness back then, and it seems that he really didn't.
Wrong person!"
As he spoke, he couldn't help but swallow more: "In these years, I have never been able to find any whereabouts of you. I once thought you were no longer alive..."
At this point, Gu Yanzhong pursed his lips tightly, but his tears had already burst.
He held it back for a long time, until the tears completely blurred his vision, and then he finally cried loudly: "Brother Ye, you have a spirit in heaven, look at your son, your son is back, he is finally back, I finally have the face to go
See you..."
Gu Yanzhong was so excited that he cried a few times and then started coughing violently. Lin Wanqiu on the side was busy wiping away the tears from her eyes. While carefully patting her husband's back, she swallowed more: "Lao Gu, Chen'er is back here.
It's a happy event, so please don't cry. Your health is not good right now and you can't withstand such great emotional ups and downs."
After Gu Yanzhong calmed down a little, he nodded with tears in his eyes, took Ye Chen's hand, and said seriously: "Chen'er, sit down quickly and tell me how you got here all these years."
After saying that, he realized something and hurriedly looked at his daughter Gu Qiuyi and asked: "Nanny, how did you and your brother Ye Chen meet?!"
Gu Qiuyi's eyes were red, and she said even more: "Dad, I'm sorry, I have been hiding this from you and mom. In fact, when I went to Jinling last time to accept advertising endorsements, I had already met brother Ye Chen. The reason why I didn't
I’m telling you right now, just because I want to give you two a surprise after brother Ye Chen comes home.”
Gu Yanzhong nodded repeatedly and said with emotion: "Surprise! This is indeed a surprise! It is a huge surprise!"
With that said, he grabbed Ye Chen's hand with both hands and said seriously: "Chen'er, no matter what you have experienced in these years, it would be great if you can come back. Don't go back to Jinling this time. The engagement between you and Nannan back then was
Your Aunt Lin and I have made an agreement with your father and your mother. No matter what you have experienced in the past, Nannan will be your fiancée. Now that you are back and my health is getting worse, you two should take advantage of my old bones.
The wedding was held before the burial!"
When Ye Chen heard this, his expression suddenly became very embarrassed and guilty.
Seeing this, Lin Wanqiu next to her hurriedly blurted out: "Chen'er, you must not feel any psychological pressure. After you and Nannan get married, this family will be your home. No matter you go back to the Ye family or not to the Ye family,
No matter what, you are my son-in-law of the Gu family!"
Lin Wanqiu's words were relatively reserved, but Ye Chen understood the meaning very well. She meant that no matter whether she had money or not, she didn't need to care. The Gu family was her own home.
Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but compare Lin Wanqiu with his mother-in-law Ma Lan. This comparison was like the difference between a bright moon and a firefly.
Gu Qiuyi said awkwardly from the side: "Dad, Mom, brother Ye Chen... he is... married now..."
"Ah?" When the couple heard this, they were both stunned!
Ye Chen was also very embarrassed and said seriously: "I'm sorry for Uncle Gu and Aunt Lin. I'm sorry for this, I'm sorry for my daughter, and I'm sorry for the agreement you two made with my parents..."
Gu Yanzhong sighed, patted Ye Chen on the shoulder, and said seriously: "Chen'er, although uncle doesn't know what you have gone through these years, I can guess that you must have had a hard time these years. When you were 8 years old,
You have been wandering around since you were young, and many things must have happened out of your control. Let’s not talk about this matter for now. You can first tell your uncle in detail how you got here all these years.”
"Yes." Lin Wanqiu also nodded and said: "The engagement can be discussed in the long run. Let's eat quickly and chat while eating!"
