I'm in love

Andy: "No, he wasn't there when I needed him. It's been decades, isn't it too late to think about narrowing the distance between us now?"

Wei Guoqiang: "I can understand your emotions, but you really shouldn't misunderstand your grandfather."

Andy: "I misunderstood? One of you abandoned your wife, the other abandoned your daughter, and you ignored us for so many years. Do you still call me misunderstood?"

Wei Guoqiang sighed and said, "Your grandfather is actually a painting enthusiast. Back then, he met a crazy woman who was fleeing from famine. The crazy woman was very good at using bright red and green colors to cut out exquisite paper-cuts. Your grandfather was fascinated by the art of paper-cutting, so he devoted himself to learning from the crazy woman."

At this time, Wei Wei, who had been silent all along, spoke up: "The color matching of those paper-cuts is natural. To your grandfather, they represent innocence and nature. But in the eyes of those people with ulterior motives, it is not the case. They falsely accused your grandfather of rape, causing him to suffer an unjustifiable crime."

Wei Guoqiang: He was forced to marry a crazy woman. This is a really sad story! Your grandfather's fate is really miserable. His marriage with your grandmother was completely forced.

Wei Guoqiang: However, it is gratifying that despite the difficult situation, your grandfather did not abandon you. When he learned that your mother was pregnant, he immediately realized that he had made an irreparable mistake. So he resolutely left home and came alone to find me.

Wei Guoqiang: At that time, I was experiencing a disastrous business failure and was penniless. But I did not hesitate to borrow the few dozen yuan I had from others, and then hurriedly set out on the road back to Daishan with your grandfather.

Wei Guoqiang: After arriving at the destination, we heard a sad news - your grandmother had passed away long ago, and your mother was also deceived and her whereabouts are still unknown. Andy, your grandfather and I always hold a glimmer of hope, hoping that one day we can find your mother and you.

Wei Guoqiang: In order to relieve the deep guilt and endless longing in his heart, your grandfather carefully painted this painting. It is not just a simple work of art, but also contains your grandfather's deep concern and attachment to you.

Wei Guoqiang: He would read it several times every day, and then sigh... Later, we finally returned to Daishan after going through untold hardships, but when we got there, we learned that your mother had drifted to a small town dozens of kilometers away and had passed away there. We went through many twists and turns before we found Xiao Ming, and wanted to ask him about your whereabouts.

Wei Guoqiang: But we didn't get any news. We all thought you had met with an accident and were no longer alive. From that day on, your grandfather put the painting away and he never dared to look at it again. Because he felt like a sinner! A few days ago, I told him that I had seen you and that you were doing well now, and he told me not to look for you anymore.

Wei Guoqiang: In fact, not only him, but even I don’t have the face to see you!

Andy: "He's right. Don't come to see me again, and don't interfere in my life. Take the painting."

Andy said indifferently: "I don't need such cheap emotions at all, and I will not accept your so-called confession!"

Wei Guoqiang said quickly: "Andy, we are a family. Now that we have found you, we will do our best to make up for the pain we have caused you."

Wei Guoqiang then said: "I hope you can give us this rare opportunity, okay?"

Andy paused and shouted, "Wait a moment..."

Andy continued to question, "When you escaped, did you really know nothing about my existence?"

Wei Guoqiang looked embarrassed and responded in a low voice: "I really don't know..."

Andy pressed on: "What would have happened if they knew my situation at the time?"

Wei Guoqiang: After seeing the condition of your mother and your grandmother, I would have forced your mother to have an abortion... I'm glad that I found you so late, and I'm also glad that you're living such a good life now. I won't have to live in fear all my life like your grandfather did.

Wei Guoqiang: I don’t want to see my daughter go crazy... His eyes revealed a hint of despair and helplessness.

Andy: "What if you find me by then?" Her voice was calm, but with a power that could not be ignored.

Wei Guoqiang was silent for a while, then said slowly: "Maybe I will... strangle you to death." After that, he turned and left, leaving behind a lonely and resolute back.

Tan Zongming looked in the direction where Wei Guoqiang left, then turned to Andy and asked with concern: "How is it, are you okay?"

Andy took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "It's disgusting to face off head-on." There was still a hint of anger and disappointment in her tone.

Tan Zongming patted Andy's shoulder gently and comforted him, "He still has the ability to hurt others, which is better than I thought. Don't take it too seriously, he is your father after all."

Andy gritted her teeth, a hint of determination flashed in her eyes. "I won't let him affect my life anymore." She clenched her fists tightly, as if swearing to herself.

Tan Zongming nodded in support. "That's good. You need time and space to process all this. If you need anything, feel free to tell me."

Andy looked at Tan Zongming gratefully, and felt a little warm in his heart. "Thank you, Lao Tan. I feel much better with you around."

Andy: "Wei Guoqiang and He Yunli, you already knew my background?" Andy's voice was trembling and full of disbelief.

Tan Zongming nodded silently, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and guilt.

Andy took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and asked, "Then why didn't you tell me before?"

Tan Zongming sighed softly and said, "In fact, I only recently discovered their relationship. Moreover, He Yunli is not his real name, but a stage name. So, even if I noticed something, I didn't expect him to be with Wei Guoqiang. According to my original intention, I think it's better for you not to know about this matter, so as not to cause you unnecessary trouble and harm."

Andy was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I don't blame you for not telling me. After all, this is also a way for you to protect me. But now that I know the truth, I need time to accept and process it all."

Tan Zongming looked at Andy, his eyes full of concern and worry. He said softly, "I understand that you need time. If you need help or need to talk, you can always come to me. I will always be by your side to support you."

Andy looked at Tan Zongming gratefully and nodded. She knew that no matter what happened, Tan Zongming would always be her strongest support.
