She's waiting for me there.

Chen Yun put his cell phone on the table and did not disturb the girl who was deep in thought. Some growth must be experienced by herself and no one else can help.

After a while, Qing Ning raised her head, the fear in her eyes gradually fading, and she said gratefully, "Sister Luo Zhu, I understand. I'm sorry to bother you this time."

"The little girl is really sweet, I like her." He turned to look at Chen Yun: "Brother Chen, let this girl stay with me for a while, I can teach her some things, how about it?"

Without waiting for Chen Yun to speak, Qing Ning quietly refused: "Don't bother Sister Luo Zhu, I still want to live with my sister."

"Oh, what a pity. Okay, next time if you have anything, call me first. Got it?"

Chen Yun sighed, this might be the charm of appearance. This was the first time the two met, but it could be seen that Luo Zhu was very interested in Qing Ning and wanted to take her home now and start a strange series of girl training.

Luo Zhu looked at Chen Yun with a playful look in his eyes: "What are your plans for the future?"

"That should be the case for the time being. I don't have any other ideas."

"Now that you've returned to your old self, there are some things Li Wei and Gu Hongfei don't dare to say, so I'm the only one who can say them."

Luo Zhu's smile gradually faded, and his expression became serious: "Are you planning to stay here forever? With your abilities, it shouldn't be difficult to make sister-in-law and Qing Ning live a good life, right?"

Chen Yun didn't refute anything: "I understand what you mean. I have some things on hand. Let's deal with them first and then talk about other things."

Luo Zhu nodded thoughtfully: "Because of Tang Yun? If you mean this woman, I'd be happy to help you solve it. I've disliked her for a long time."

Chen Yun shook his head: "I'll do it myself. I've already started preparing. I owe Qingxue so much over the years. It would be a bit unreasonable if I don't do it myself."

"Well, if you hadn't stopped her, she would have been thrown into the sea to feed the fish."

Chen Yun shook his head and smiled bitterly. Luo Zhu's personality really hadn't changed at all.

The two chatted for a while, and then Luo Zhu took Shuangshuang home.

Qingxue had been listening to the conversation between the two in the bedroom. When she learned about the fate of those people, the resentment and worry in her heart suddenly dissipated, and she felt relieved.

"Hubby, I didn't expect Luo Zhu to be so powerful. He took care of them in just one day. Now we don't have to worry anymore."

Then he looked at his sister and said, "The wound on your face is almost healed. Go to school tomorrow."

Qing Ning nodded. After all, she was already in her third year of high school and she still had to focus on her studies. Moreover, Luo Zhu's words had a great impact on her. The look in her eyes when she looked at Chen Yun was no longer as cold as before.

"Brother-in-law, this matter is all thanks to you, otherwise..."

Chen Yun waved his hands quickly: "We are all family, why are you being so polite?"

The word "family" is still very unfamiliar to Qingning. Originally, her sister was the only family member, but now it seems that there is one more.

......

The next morning, the willow trees outside the window swayed back and forth in the breeze, and spots of light were scattered on the curtains.

When Chen Yun woke up, breakfast was already ready.

The two of them accompanied Qing Ning to school, watched her walk into the school gate, and then turned and walked towards the supermarket.

I got the various gift boxes I had ordered and hailed a taxi.

"Master, let's go to Mingjiang Four Seasons City."

The driver glanced at the two men in confusion. The people living there were either rich or noble, so why would anyone take a taxi there?

After getting in the car, Chen Yun kept looking out the window with a calm expression, but his clenched hands already showed his current mood.

Qingxue hugged his arm, gently opened her palm, and interlocked her fingers: "Hubby, don't be so nervous. When I told Dad about you coming over, the old man was so excited that he couldn't speak for a long time. He wanted to see you too."

"I know, it just feels so..."

He didn't know what words could describe his current mood. From an outsider's perspective, he hadn't seen his father in more than ten years and should have let go of the past long ago.

But only he himself knew that these things happened not long ago, and the past was still vivid in his mind. He wondered what attitude he should adopt when facing the old man.

The car fell into a brief silence. Qingxue stopped talking and just silently stroked the big hand, soothing the scars in his heart.

The trees on both sides were rapidly receding, and scattered sunlight fell on the car window, constantly changing shape and shining on Chen Yun's face.

At this moment, he was still slightly raising his head, his vision was empty and no longer focused, only lights of various colors were hanging in his eyes, floating around like flying insects.

Qingxue cried out in pain, "Husband..." and then fell silent, not knowing what to say.

She had never seen Chen Yun like this before. He was like a young man carrying a heavy bag, walking forward alone with dull but stubborn eyes.

When Chen Yun stood in front of a door holding a gift box, his mood calmed down a lot. Since he was already here, he had to face what he had to face. He breathed a sigh of relief and rang the doorbell.

Soon, the door opened, as if the person inside had been waiting there.

An old man appeared in Chen Yun's sight. He had thought about his father's old appearance countless times when he was young, but he didn't expect that this day would come so soon.

His hair was gray, and his originally rosy face had a few age spots. He had a hunched back, holding a cane in his hand, and even his eyes were a little cloudy. At this moment, his eye circles were red, and he looked at Chen Yun intently. He raised one hand, and couldn't help wanting to touch his son's face, but he didn't dare, and froze in the air.

The father and son stood face to face, and Qingxue broke the deadlock: "Dad, Chen Yun and I are here to see you."

Chen Hanlin finally reacted and kept saying, "Okay, okay...it's good that you're here." His lips trembled and he couldn't say another word.

The two entered the house and piled the gift boxes at the door. Chen Yun wanted to speak several times, but something was stuck in his throat and he couldn't make any sound.

How did he become like this?

Isn't he still young?

Why is he on crutches?

Why did his hair turn white?

The man who carried me around the park on his back - is he old?

hum!

Tinnitus—there it comes again!

The world is silent.

"Son, what do you want to be when you grow up?"

"Son, you eat. Dad is not hungry."

"Son, when you find a wife in the future, you must find a woman like your mother, who is down-to-earth."

"Son, you must respect your mother from now on."

"son......"

Yes, he is really old.

He is so old that he is already trembling.

So old...I hardly recognize him anymore.
