"So, I didn't go to see her. I only stayed in Jiangcheng for a few days. Staying closest to her was... a little comfort to myself."
"After that, I left Jiangcheng and never came back. Soon, I got married, and the other party was also a soldier. There was no romantic relationship between us, but we were like-minded and cherished each other. It was the leaders of the organization who brought us together. Twenty years after our marriage,
Over the years, we have treated each other with respect and loyalty. During an earthquake rescue, we adopted a child who lost his parents, namely Yi Lin..."
Having said this, several people looked at Zhuo Yilin.
It turned out that he lost his parents in the earthquake, and that kind of trauma would never be forgotten for the rest of his life. Yang Qianyu suddenly felt guilty, feeling that she shouldn't have blamed him so much before.
"For more than 20 years, I have always kept the pearl in my heart. However, we have already married each other. If I miss it, I can't look back, so I can only hide my blessings in my heart. It wasn't until I got divorced last year that I thought about coming back to see..."
After hearing all this, Yang Qianyu no longer had any complaints about this late biological father.
Mom was right, and so was he. The love between them had never faded from the beginning to the end. It can only be said that the world is unpredictable and fate played tricks on people, resulting in this irreparable regret.
After sitting in silence for a while, Yang Qianyu regained consciousness and couldn't help but ask: "Since you share the same goals, cherish each other, and are loyal to each other, why did you get divorced? Did your lover discover something and think...
"
Zhuo Yueluan shook his head and said: "Yilin's mother knew about Mingzhu's existence from the beginning. Our divorce has nothing to do with your mother. It's because of the special nature of her work. Sometimes she can't be contacted for several months due to confidentiality regulations.
It’s common not to see anyone for a year.”
When he said this, there was no trace of resentment in his words or expression, but a slight feeling of distress.
"She took the initiative to initiate divorce. She has been doing so for several years. She feels that she is not a good wife. She has never done anything for the family and cannot take care of me. She has always felt guilty. In fact, I don't care about this at all. Her
The work is hard enough, I can understand it. But I have been her husband for decades, hey..."
Thinking of the more than 20 years of marriage with his ex-wife, Zhuo Yueluan felt filled with guilt.
In this life, he owed two women.
God treated him well and did not let him suffer retribution.
Hearing this, Yang Qianyu raised his eyes in surprise, deeply shocked in his heart.
Why does she think that everyone around her father is so nice? Of course, except for the elders of the Zhuo family who looked down on her mother back then.
"She wanted a divorce and wanted me to find a gentle and considerate woman who could take care of my daily life. I saw that she was resolute and didn't want her to feel guilty all the time, so I had to agree. But look, I'm not doing well now.
Where do you need someone to take care of you?"
Zhuo Yueluan spread his hands, a smile appeared on his heavy face, and he sounded quite self-reliant and unwilling to admit that he was a waste who needed to be taken care of.
Seeing his childish behavior, Yang Qianyu's expression, which had been solemn for a long time, softened a little, and she even smiled a little.
Zhuo Yilin unceremoniously broke the story: "Your leg was injured and inflamed a while ago. Don't you need someone to take care of you? I asked you to rest for a few days and ignored the doctor's advice."
Yang Qianyu glanced at Zhuo Yilin, then quickly looked at Zhuo Yueluan, "What's wrong with your leg? Is it serious?"
Seeing that her daughter cared about her, Zhuo Yueluan was overjoyed and waved her hands quickly: "It's no problem, it's okay."
After saying that, he looked at the diary in front of his daughter, his face full of longing and eagerness: "My child, now...can you show me the diary?"
"Yeah." Yang Qianyu nodded and pushed the diary over.
Zhuo Yueluan was so excited that he stared at the diary for a few seconds. His palms covered the cover. After a while, he picked it up and opened it...
They had lived apart from each other for six years and exchanged letters, so he naturally kept Ruan Mingzhu's handwriting in mind.
He kept those letters and often took them out to read, quietly observing things and thinking about people.
Unexpectedly, I can still see the diary left by my loved one.
Familiar handwriting danced before his eyes, and he burst into tears before he could read a few lines.
Seeing his reaction, Yang Qianyu felt sour in her heart, and silently put a few wet wipes in his hand.
After a long time, Zhuo Yueluan calmed down a bit and turned to look at Yang Qianyu: "Son, according to the time, when your mother went to the army to find me, I was indeed not in the army. I was receiving rehabilitation treatment at the Military Medical University at that time. In addition,
My identity is kept secret. Except for the superiors, the leaders at the location may not know who I am - so your mother can't find out about me."
In fact, after Yang Qianyu listened to the whole story, she also had a guess in her mind.
"Well, according to what you said, and comparing it with the timeline in my mother's diary, I really can't blame you for this."
Zhuo Yueluan was secretly even more pleased to see that her daughter was considerate.
"Your mother is a good girl. She is well-educated and intelligent. Although her family is well off, she does not have the temper of a young lady, and her ideas are very avant-garde."
After Zhuo Yueluan said this, something suddenly occurred to her, and she looked embarrassed. She quickly explained: "When I say avant-garde, I don't mean... I mean, she has a strong personality and is unwilling to admit defeat. She has always felt that men can do it."
, a woman can definitely do it too. If I hadn’t delayed her and made her die in depression, she would definitely have a great future."
Yang Qianyu knew what he meant.
Thinking of the description in her mother's diary, she was a little embarrassed and looked extremely uncomfortable, "Actually...my mother didn't regret that incident, otherwise, she wouldn't have been willing to marry such a man just to give birth to me.
Bastard."
"Yes, Mingzhu doesn't regret it, but I can't bear the blame. She was implicated by me."
After saying this, Zhuo Yueluan's emotions surged. He was afraid that it would be rude to cry in front of his juniors, so he had to pretend to read his diary and lowered his head.
Time passed quietly.
Zhuo Yueluan flipped through the diary, and finally couldn't hold back the tears in his eyes.
His pearl has endured so much for him...
"Son, can I take this diary back?"
"Well, of course."
Now that everything that needs to be said has been made clear, the natural next step is for the father and daughter to recognize each other.
Yang Qianyu felt inexplicably nervous and didn't know how to speak.
Zhuo Yilin sat opposite her. With his delicate and sensitive mind, he clearly understood the tangle in Yang Qianyu's heart.
After coughing, he pressed the armrests with both hands and sat up a little. His eyes passed over his father and landed on Qianyu, "Dad, now that all the misunderstandings have been cleared up, and the paternity test has clearly shown that you are the biological father and daughter.
Then... why don't you officially recognize each other today?"
As soon as these words came out, Yang Qianyu's heart beat like thunder, and her eyes didn't know where to turn.
