He is cold and distant

However, he waited nearby until nightfall, but the people from the Bian family hadn't come back yet.

After waiting for no results, Xiang Xuyuan had no choice but to turn back to the place he rented.

On Saturday, Mu Yuanzhu went to Lu's house last night. Originally, he wanted to continue going today, but Lu Sheng'an didn't agree, saying that he wanted to relax during his rest time.

After breakfast, Mu Yuanzhu was rarely in the mood to go out for a stroll. He likes the clear and warm weather in this neither hot nor cold season, as well as many luxuriant vegetation within easy reach. He walked away.

Xiang Xuyuan was already in a small restaurant at the moment, watching the movements of Bian's house for almost half an hour.

When he came out today, he took a special look at the calendar. The children from the Bian family were all studying at school.

Saturday is the day when classes are suspended. He thinks that they are young people, so they should come out to have fun.

But when he saw the appearance of the person who came out from inside, the teacup Xiang Xuyuan was holding suddenly fell down.

His eyes widened slightly, with a bit of shock and disbelief inside, and he looked out carefully a few times, this... how does this child look so similar to Tongzhu?

Xiang Xuyuan was stunned for a moment by himself, his thoughts turned, and he picked up the teacup that fell on the ground again. Is this child Lu Shengan's, or...

His heart was in a mess for a while and it was difficult to calm down. The hands that were placed on the table trembled a little bit, and at the same time, his eyes were a little sore.

Is it Tong Zhu and his child?This is what Fang Miaoyun has been hiding from him all this time?

Mu Yuanzhu, who was walking on the road, didn't know that he had become a wave in someone's heart now, and he only walked slowly forward along the road he walked with the young master in his memory.

It was as if the years he had been with him would comfort him for a long time just like his non-stop pace.

But when he was about to go back to his house, there was a person blocking his way inexplicably in the middle of the road ahead.

Mu Yuanzhu didn't want to argue with this person, and wanted to bypass him and move on.

But this person seemed to be blocking his way on purpose, standing not far from him, as if he was going to stop him.

"Please step aside." Mu Yuanzhu looked at the person standing in front of him, who seemed to be much older than him, and spoke with a little politeness.

"You..." Xiang Xuyuan looked at Mu Yuanzhu's familiar face, many words seemed to be stuck in his throat, and he only asked, "How have you been these years?"

"Does it have anything to do with you?" Mu Yuanzhu's words became blunt, he didn't like others to intervene in his life at will, unless it was someone he liked to be close to.

"I..." Xiang Xuyuan wanted to say that he was his father, but he only uttered the first word, and he couldn't say anything else.

On his wrinkled face, there was a look of sadness, and there seemed to be signs of redness at the edge of the eye sockets.

He had been kept a secret for so many years by himself, but he didn't know...that there was still a biological child of his in this world.

Mu Yuanzhu noticed that the emotional changes of the people in front of him, the emotions in those similar eyes reminded him of the scene when he first recalled the young master.

When he thought of this, he suddenly understood, "You want to say..."

"Are you my father?" Mu Yuanzhu's tone didn't seem to change, and there wasn't much surprise on his face.

There are many similarities in people's emotions, and it is easier for people who are related by blood to share emotions.

When Xiang Xuyuan heard Mu Yuanzhu's words, he didn't know whether to nod or not.

He is indeed his father, but he has never fulfilled his responsibilities as a father for a day, which makes him feel unqualified.

"If you don't answer, then I have the right to treat you as a stranger." Mu Yuanzhu's tone was extremely indifferent.

"You..." Xiang Xuyuan saw that Mu Yuanzhu was about to leave, so he quickly reached out to stop him, "Lu Shengan should have told you everything?"

"He didn't tell me anything specific." Mu Yuanzhu stopped walking, looking at Xiang Xuyuan's face with complicated eyes, "But I know a lot."

"At the beginning, I was the one who felt sorry for your mother." Xiang Xuyuan didn't know how Mu Yuanzhu thought of him, "But your mother didn't tell me that she was pregnant with a child."

"So, what do you want to express?" Mu Yuanzhu had no feelings for the father he met for the first time, "Do you want to repent, or seek my mother's forgiveness, or me?"

"I know, I did a lot of things wrong." Xiang Xuyuan knew the mistakes he made, "But, I never thought that there would be a biological child of mine in this world. If I knew..."

"You know, so what?" Mu Yuanzhu interrupted, and Xiang Xuyuan said, "Will you help me when I'm in trouble? Will you protect me when I'm scolded? When I am confused, enlighten me?"

"Or something else?" Between Mu Yuanzhu's eyebrows, a look of indifference, "You know, there is no such thing in this world, if there is such an unrealistic existence?"

If there is, then what is the dark and hopeless night he has endured all these years?

"I'm sorry, child, I..." Xiang Xuyuan wanted to keep this last family relationship, but he didn't know what to do to keep it, "At that time, I was the one who did something stupid."

"Yes, it's true that you did something wrong." Mu Yuanzhu was indifferent, "You didn't show up before, and I don't need you now, so please don't get involved in my life in the future."

As Mu Yuanzhu said, he was about to turn around and leave.

When Xiang Xuyuan saw Mu Yuanzhu's action, he felt anxious for a moment, and stretched out his hand to grab his arm, "Son, I don't ask for anything else."

When he spoke, the words seemed to tremble, and he shook people's hands slightly. There were thousands of words in his heart that he wanted to say, but in the end, he only changed into one sentence, "You have... suffered all these years."

After Mu Yuanzhu heard Xiang Xuyuan's words, he pushed his hand away, and continued walking towards the back road with the steps he was about to leave just now.

Xiang Xuyuan lowered his hands weakly. At this moment, his gray face had traces of tears on his cheeks.

He finally understood that the mistakes he made at the beginning, even if time has passed, cannot make up for it...

At the same time, the Lu family.

"The Fang family told us about Xiang Xuyuan's location." The driver reported the situation to Lu Shengan, "But when we looked for him, he was no longer there."

"This morning, I continued to send people out to look for it." The driver continued, "I found that he and Master Yuanzhu met on the side of the road."

"Where is he now?" Lu Shengan asked the driver.

"In a small hotel." The driver replied to Lu Shengan's words, "Master Yuanzhu was with him at the time, so I didn't do anything to Xiang Xuyuan."

"Now...do you see?" The driver waited for Lu Shengan's instructions.

"There's no need to go to that person Xiang Xuyuan." Lu Shengan also knew Xiang Xuyuan's character, "He will take the initiative to find him."

"Okay." The driver stepped back.

After Mu Yuanzhu returned to Bian's house, his mood did not calm down for a long time. He stayed alone in the room, thinking about the people he just met on the road.

To be precise, that was the first time he and his biological father saw each other.

He was at a young age, because no one played with him, no one protected him, no one cared about him, ever thought about his biological parents.

He was thinking at the time: Why did they abandon him, was there an accident, or was there some last resort?

Forgive him for making so-called excuses for his parents at that time, because he was still young, and although his inner hope for family affection was weak, it always existed.

But now, all the truths before him were telling him the fact that he was an abandoned child, and he was also intentionally abandoned.

This made the last light left in his heart completely extinguished.

The emotional sins committed by his father, the way his mother hid most people, gave his father the heaviest psychological blow many years later.

But... His father's failure as a father now, and his own failure as a son, are all his mother can predict in advance.

This made Mu Yuanzhu feel that his biological mother seemed to be sitting on the sidelines, watching other people's jokes with cold eyes.

But this joke itself is not funny, on the contrary, it makes the people who are really in this story feel extremely sad.

Mu Yuanzhu was completely out of mood that day, and didn't eat lunch, and came to Lu's house near the evening.

"Yuanzhu, why are you here today?" Seeing Mu Yuanzhu, Lu Shengan didn't know what he was thinking when he met Xiang Xuyuan today, "Didn't I let you take a good rest for a day?"

"Today..." Mu Yuanzhu thought for a long time before deciding to come to Lu's house, "I met my father."

"What did he tell you?" Lu Shengan didn't know if Xiang Xuyuan told Mu Yuanzhu what he did.

As for Mu Yuanzhu, will he be shaken by this?

"I didn't say a few words to him, and left." Mu Yuanzhu had long since stopped thinking about family affection, "Did you do something to him?"

The old face, the shallow scars, and the white hair that may have been mixed in due to excessive worry, made Mu Yuanzhu realize that the life of that person is not good now.

"Do you really want to listen?" Lu Shengan is not afraid, Mu Yuanzhu knows what he has done, but he is afraid that he will sympathize with Xiang Xuyuan, but he can't hide anything from him, he has been tired all these years.

"Tell me about my father's story after my mother left." Mu Yuanzhu echoed Lu Shengan's words.

"That's good." Lu Shengan responded, and told Mu Yuanzhu everything that happened after Lu Tongzhu left.

The complete story was a bit long, and when it was finished, Lu Shengan looked at it, and the sky outside was already pitch black at the moment, "What are you thinking now?"

"Uncle, let him go." Mu Yuanzhu just said: "My mother already punished him at the beginning, and you have punished him more severely these years."

"It's been nearly 20 years since I was born." Mu Yuanzhu continued: "He has suffered crimes for nearly 20 years, even if no one really blames him in the future."

"The remorse and guilt left in his heart over the years can also make him feel remorse for a long time."
