Chapter 245: Recognition
Old Man Cheng was excited and nervous when he knew that Gu Xiaoyun was finally coming to him.
Since she said that she wanted him to give her some time, he had been patient and did not dare to come to her. Waiting for her answer every day, I was going crazy. He didn't talk to too many people about her during this time. They don't know if they recognize it, and now tell the others that it's hard to guarantee that they won't put pressure on her.
But after waiting for so long and no news, I can't help but be a little anxious. Several times I wondered if I should try to contact her. At least make sure she hadn't forgotten about it.
Is there finally an answer now?
Walking back and forth in the living room. Look up at the time from time to time. How did it go so slowly? Is this clock broken?
At this time, I don't have any bottom in my heart. I had no idea what kind of answer she would give. Will you be angry about what happened back then? Will they hate their negligence for causing her mother's miserable fate?
Just as he was thinking about it, the doorbell rang suddenly, and he almost fell to the ground with weak legs.
Call! Call!
Stroke your chest and calm yourself.
At this moment, I can't help but feel sorry for how quickly time has passed. Before he was ready, he had already reached the appointed time.
For a moment, I even wondered if it was too late to pretend to be sick and not see each other. But the idea was fleeting. In contrast, he was more eager for an answer.
He took a deep breath and went to open the door.
Gu Xiaoyun stood at the door, obviously a little embarrassed when he saw him. Reluctantly pulled out a smile and greeted him hesitantly, "Cheng, Grandpa Cheng." ”
In terms of attitude, it doesn't seem like I'm mad at him. Old Man Cheng quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiaoyun, come in, come in." He tried to make himself look lighter. Although his already nervous palms were sweating at the moment.
"yes, okay." Gu Xiaoyun entered the door a little restrained.
Following him, he sat on the couch with some stiff movements.
Both were silent, both pondering how to speak. In the end, it was Gu Xiaoyun who took the lead in breaking the silence, "About the previous ......"
She had just started, but Old Man Cheng suddenly interrupted her, "Don't worry, I'll pour a glass of water." Drink some water first. ”
After all, I was too nervous. Subconsciously want to escape. Even if it's just for a few minutes.
Yes? Gu Xiaoyun was stunned. Before he could say anything, the old man couldn't wait to go to the kitchen. No, it's better to say that he is leaving, but it is better to say that he has escaped. looked at the direction in which the old man disappeared in a daze, and only retracted his gaze for a long time. In fact, I was quietly glad.
I thought I had to delay a little bit to get ready. In fact, no matter how much preparation you make, you don't think it's enough.
After a long time, it really couldn't drag on anymore, and the old man slowly walked out of the kitchen. Two cups in his hands. One of them shoved in front of her.
"Thank you." She took it stiffly, brought it to her lips and took a sip. The rim of the cup covers most of the small face.
"So, kid, what did you just want to say?" Old Man Cheng asked cautiously.
"That ......" Gu Xiaoyun licked her lower lip, "I, I want to say that what happened back then was an accident, in fact, you don't have to blame yourself too much." ”
The old man smiled bitterly, "It was an accident, but if I had been at home with her more, maybe there would have been no such accident." ”
"Don't think so. You did your best in the circumstances. She tried to enlighten. Seeing the old man's dejected appearance, he also felt distressed, "I believe that if my mother is still alive, she will not blame you." ”
Cheng Lao didn't speak, still immersed in self-blame.
"This is something that no one wants to see. So please relax, too. After a pause, as if he was doing some psychological construction for himself, "As for me, I also understand that it has not been easy for you all these years." ”
At this time, the old man suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her.
Is she trying to distance herself from him?
"I'm thinking about it a lot these days, too. I've been missing it for so many years, and if I continue to miss it like this, I think, I'll definitely regret it in the future. ”
Hearing this, Old Man Cheng seemed to be injected with vitality in an instant. Hands trembling excitedly, "You, what do you mean ......"
"I mean......" I didn't know how to express it after thinking about it for a long time, so I could only call out, "Grandpa." ”
Two words almost made Old Man Cheng become a theist in this second.
"Good, good, good!" The old man said three good words in a row. With tears in his eyes, he clutched Gu Xiaoyun's hand tightly. After so many years of waiting, it was not in vain. Fate was finally not too cruel to him. "Let's go home in a few days, your uncle and your cousin will be very happy." Then after a while, I will definitely hold a beautiful family recognition banquet for you, so that everyone knows that you are a member of the Cheng family. ”
The old man said farther and farther, Gu Xiaoyun couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and hurriedly stopped him, "Wait, there are some things I still hope you can understand." ”
"You say, I must understand!" I don't know what it is, so I guarantee it directly. As long as she recognizes him, he can accept the rest of his thoughts.
"You know, it wasn't easy for my grandparents to bring up my mother. Although I recognize you, I still have to be filial to them, and I hope you understand. "When I was young, I didn't have much contact with my grandparents, but every time we met, they were very good to her. Later, it was probably because she dropped out of school and got married that disappointed them too much, so they never contacted her again.
Hearing this, Old Man Cheng had a high opinion of this granddaughter.
It is really not easy to be able to stay true to one's roots and keep a clear head in the face of such wealth. Fortunately, she was not taught badly by Gu Jianhua.
He nodded like pounded garlic, "Surely!" In a few days, we'll have a personal feast and invite them too. All these years thanks to them to pull your mother up. I will definitely repay them well! ”
With his assurance, Gu Xiaoyun was finally relieved. Ye Jingheng was right, Old Man Cheng didn't mind this matter. On the contrary, he is also grateful to his grandparents.
For that couple, Mr. Cheng had already investigated, "If you want, let them move to City B, I have a few properties here, and I cover all their expenses." ”
Yes? Gu Xiaoyun was stunned. This, don't you want to be such a tyrant.
She didn't want Old Man Cheng to help her repay her kindness. It's just that I hope he won't stop her from being filial to her grandparents. As a result, the other party's unexpected enthusiasm made her a little overwhelmed for a while.
"You, you don't have to." She said awkwardly.
"Yes, they brought up your mother, who is the benefactor of my Cheng family."
