172 There is a new warmth in life

After Lao Hu sighed deeply, he continued to mourn, "From a county magistrate with a bright social status, to a 'rapist' that everyone shouts about, and faces more than ten years in prison, my life has been ruined, my family, and my parents' reputation have been ruined...... I can imagine how big a blow this hit me, at that time in the first year of prison, I almost suffered from depression, several times thought of suicide, I hated Han Qiaojuan, hated her cruelty, but to no avail...... Later, your grandparents came to visit me with you at the age of one year and a few months, and heard you call me 'Dad' vaguely, and saw your pink, delicate, well-behaved and dazed little face, I cried, cried very sadly, and began to have the strength to continue living, and decided to cheer up and come out to hear you call me dad again...... I slowly accepted my fate, and I also adapted to the prison days, and the most I hope for every year is that your grandfather can take you to see me, but I didn't expect that later, your grandfather and grandmother passed away one after another in a few years, and I didn't even have the opportunity to see them for the last time in prison...... In order to reduce my sentence, in order to come out early, I worked harder, seized every opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and finally was fortunate enough to be commuted by four years in prison and released from prison early-"

"When I came out of prison, I was almost forty, and the first time I went back to my original home to look for you, but that home has changed dramatically, Chen Guifang has already found another man, and wants to sign a divorce with me, Lu Qin and Lu Chao don't have the slightest affection for me, they only recognize others as fathers, and my neighbors and former friends all look down on me, and they avoid me like a flood beast...... When I asked where you went, Chen Guifang told me that you were picked up by Han Qiaojuan, and I found Han Qiaojuan again, not only did she not let you see me, but also found someone to beat me...... Heh, anyway, I still didn't see you in the end, I thought you would have a good life with Han Qiaojuan, after all, you are her own child, she will not treat you badly, and she also has good enough conditions to raise you, and I, a 'rapist' who has just been released from prison, has nothing, is penniless, and is spurned by the whole world, and it is difficult to protect myself, how can I let you suffer with me? So I left my hometown and left my hometown, and I have been floating in the south for so many years, because I have a prison record, I can't find a formal job, I can only rely on physical strength to do all kinds of odd jobs, set up a stall and do small business, save a sum of money and want to start my own business, but all of them ended in failure...... During this period, I also dated two women, and the other party died with me because I had no money, plus I later worked on the construction site, my leg was disabled, and I was old, so I was completely alone......"

"But over the years, I have always remembered in my heart that I, Lu Shaopeng, have a daughter named Lu Yuncan, and my biggest wish for the rest of my life is to see her again...... I was working to earn money to support myself, while trying to find you, but the world is so big, I want to find Han Qiaojuan can't find it at all, and there is no news of you at all, until five or six years ago, I finally met Han Qiaojuan, I knew you from her mouth, I knew that you founded 'Yuncan Clothing', I knew that you were already a well-known boss in the clothing industry, and I was sincerely gratified to know that you were doing well, and I even mistakenly thought that it was Han Qiaojuan who invested in the company that founded you, and my hatred for her for many years was relieved. I really want to see you, but I don't know in what name and in what capacity to see you, especially if you are already the boss of a listed company, a female entrepreneur in the upper class, you are so glamorous, I can't let my humble status to defile you, I can only be silently pleased in my heart, quietly pay attention to your life, watch financial news every day, see if there is a report on Yuncan clothing, if there is, I will read it word by word, but unfortunately I can't see your photos or videos appear in the media, so, I had the idea of joining Yuncan Company......"

"Later, you also know, I borrowed the ID card of a friend named 'Hu Jianhua', hid my real name, and got into the company by luck...... The first time I saw you in the office of the director of human resources, you were like a mortal fairy in front of me, so beautiful and exquisite, cold and cold, and would not smile at anyone, but I looked at me twice, a bad old man, and made an exception to let me enter the company and arrange a job for me, I was excited for several days without closing my eyes, I never thought it would be so smooth~"

"......," he said, pausing to drink some water, but his eyes were red and he couldn't speak.

And I, after listening to the stories that have happened to him over the years, also sat stiff in the leather chair, my heart was overwhelmed with emotions, but I couldn't respond to a word, just lowered my eyelids sullenly, as if I was dreaming.

"Yuncan, I didn't approach you to get material things from you as your 'biological father', really, never," he wiped his eyes, his voice choked, "If Han Qiaojuan hadn't said it to her face today, I might have kept it a secret...... For decades, I haven't taught you to raise you, I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a father for a day, and I have given you such a not-so-glorious background, and I have no face to recognize you at all. I used to think that my greatest wish was to hear you call me dad again, but after I actually saw you, after seeing you standing at the top of the pyramid so glamorously and decently, I didn't even dare to think about it...... I can only get along with you as a 'Lao Hu' and as a 'friend', as long as I can see you often and know that you are doing well, I am very satisfied, really. ”

When I heard this, my nose was sour, and my eyes quickly filled with tears......

After taking a deep breath, I groggy said, "Don't you think you're being hypocritical too?" You didn't plan to give Han Qiaojuan a name at the beginning, how could you accept the existence of me, a disgraceful fetus? So, don't talk about how deep your feelings are for me, you forced Han Qiaojuan to drain me from the beginning, and you never thought of me being born...... You value your career so much, how could you let an illegitimate child like me be born to affect your official fortune? ”

After he was silent for a long time, he nodded helplessly, "Okay, you're right, I did persuade her to have an abortion at the beginning, I was very selfish, I only thought about myself, I dared to do it but didn't dare to do it...... However, when you have been born, you are already an independent little life living in this world, when I really see you, my love for you officially begins. Although Lu Qin and Lu Chao are also my children, you are different from them, your arrival is very special, my regret for you is deeper, and my love for you is also deeper-"

"Say no more!" When I heard this, I was sad, excited and indignant, "There is no difference between you and Han Qiaojuan, after hurting me completely, seeing that I am alive and well, I came to me to say these hypocritical words to redeem me, am I a fool?" If it weren't for me, you might have become the secretary of the city and party committee now, and it was my existence that ruined your life, would you love me? Are you hypocritical?! You obviously have a son and daughter with Chen Guifang, why do you put on such a pitiful appearance and come to me to complain, isn't it just to see that I am developed to get wet? You and Chen Guifang and Han Qiaojuan are essentially goods all the way! ”

"......" When he heard this, his face instantly turned pale again, and his expression was a little forbearing.

"Okay," he smiled reluctantly, "Actually, I feel much better when I say these words to you today, and if you can think like this, I have long been mentally prepared, and I am not surprised, and I also express my understanding, because you have suffered too much over the years, it is normal for you not to trust anyone, and I don't expect your trust, because I am not worthy of ...... Don't worry, I'll leave now, and I will leave quietly, and I won't cause you any trouble. Take care, Yuncan. ”

As he spoke, he got up tremblingly and walked towards the office door with a heavy and sluggish voice......

I kept my eyes on his back, looking at his limping legs, his tall but no longer strong body, his sparse white hair, thinking about what he had happened to him in the past few decades, and suddenly there was an indescribable desolation. Yes, I am a person with him, we have been betrayed by the whole world, in the turmoil of the weather, when I met him for the first time, that kind of intimacy has always been with me, otherwise, I can't be friends with a low-level old man who does cleaning for no reason, it is this kind of intimacy in the blood that pulls me closer to him step by step~

Finally, when he opened the door and was about to step out, I rushed over to stop the door with a hot brain, pounced on him, and said excitedly, "Why do you want to leave, you are all gone, what should I do?" Can't you hear it, I'm just unwilling, unwilling that you have other children, I just want you...... Be my dad alone! ”

He hugged me tightly in tears, sobbing and incoherently saying, "Yuncan, I...... I never dreamed that there would be such a day, I ......" he couldn't go on, he could only hug me warmly, quietly feeling the emotion of this moment.

The word father has always had no concept and no temperature in my life, and at this moment, when I knew that I could also have a father like a normal person, the sudden sense of happiness and security overwhelmed me, just like a person who has been poor for many years suddenly gets a huge sum of money, with indescribable excitement and shock...... In particular, I have had some kind of relationship with Lao Hu for so long, and now when I know that he is actually my biological father, although I can't accept it for a short time, but deep down I don't refuse at all...... How could I refuse this man to be my father, I respect him and worship him, I like to talk to him, I like the calmness and calmness in his bones, I like his warm and infectious smile, and I like him to appear by my side from time to time to protect me...... Now that he has become my father, everything is like being in a dream~

Next, I actively arranged for 'Lao Hu' to move to my house, but I didn't expect him to refuse.
