At that time, Wen Mingyuan believed that Wen Shu was his biological daughter, so this guilt grew stronger and stronger without him realizing it, eventually becoming a knot in Wen Mingyuan's heart.

Only years later, when Wen Mingyuan returned to his long-lost hometown, did he learn from his parents that the daughter he had been longing for was not his biological daughter.

Wen Mingyuan's parents were unwilling to raise a child who was not related to them by blood, so after making inquiries from various sources, they sent the child to his maternal grandmother's house.

When Wen Mingyuan first heard the news, he felt not relief, but guilt.

How desperate and terrified he must have felt when his lovely little girl was taken away by her grandparents!

Wen Mingyuan could not blame his parents; he could only deeply hate himself.

Did that chubby, pretty little girl cry or feel scared when she was abandoned and taken away by her grandparents?

What kind of fear must the little girl have felt when her grandparents left her in front of a strange old woman's house?

Wen Mingyuan has no way of knowing what kind of mentality Wen Shu was in when she was abandoned as a child.

Wen Shu thought she was calm, and that she should have let go of her resentment after finding her biological parents.

But tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably. What could she do? She was just a little child then.

She was so small that she didn't know why her father and grandparents didn't want her anymore, and she felt like she was a child abandoned by the world.

What would she be like now if it weren't for her grandmother?

Wen Shu dared not think about it, nor did she want to think about it; she was only grateful that she had survived.

Wen Mingyuan said, "Shushu, I'm sorry, Daddy broke his promise..."

Before he could finish speaking, Wen Mingyuan's voice choked with emotion.

Wen Shu said, "Dad, I don't blame you. I think you must have encountered some difficulties, otherwise you would never have failed to come back to see me."

Wen Mingyuan didn't speak, but tears streamed down his face. He nodded, choking back sobs, and said, "It's Dad who's sorry..."

Wen Mingyuan did indeed get into trouble while he was abroad.

He started finding odd jobs abroad. With his good looks, tall stature, and hard work, he quickly got some opportunities. Just when Wen Mingyuan felt his job was stable and began to dream about the future, thinking that if he worked harder, he could bring his daughter over, he was involved in a serious car accident.

When he opened his eyes, all his memories had vanished.

If it weren't for the fact that his damaged identification document happened to preserve his English name, perhaps no one would know what his name was.

The woman who caused his car accident gradually fell in love with him while taking care of him.

So Wen Mingyuan chose to marry that woman in a foreign land, forming a happy and fulfilling family, and they lived there slowly and leisurely for more than 20 years.

Like a newly born person, he slowly became a citizen of that country under the woman's careful care.

Years later, he accidentally tripped and fell, hitting his head. This unexpectedly triggered his memories, and he suddenly remembered that he had a daughter and two elderly people living at home...

It was only then that Wen Mingyuan realized what he had been neglecting all these years.

He abandoned his lovely daughter to his parents, who then abandoned the child.

When he finally returned to the familiar land after many years, everything was so unfamiliar. He went through many hardships and inquired from various sources before finally finding his little girl.

The cute little girl he remembered has grown into a beautiful and graceful young woman, standing calmly before him.

If it weren't for the tears rolling down her cheeks, Wen Mingyuan wouldn't even know if this girl still remembered him.

Wen Mingyuan slowly walked up to Wen Shu. He couldn't help but raise his hand, but then hesitated for a moment and lowered it.

After a long pause, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Shushu, can Daddy hug you?"

Wen Shu opened her mouth, then nodded and said, "Mm."

Then Wen Shu opened her arms and stepped forward to throw herself into Wen Mingyuan's embrace: "Dad, I missed you so much!"

That was her expectation since childhood, that was her father as she remembered him from childhood.

She still keeps the pendant that Wen Mingyuan bought for her.

"Shushu, I'm sorry, it's Dad who's sorry, it's Grandpa and Grandma who's sorry... It's all Dad's fault..."

Wen Shu hugged Wen Mingyuan, choking back tears, and said, "Dad, you didn't let me down, and neither did Grandpa and Grandma. I've never resented them, and I haven't resented you either. So many years have passed, let's just look forward!"

In fact, Wen Shu could understand Grandpa Wen and Grandma Wen, after all, no one would want to raise a child who is not related to them by blood.

Moreover, they were older at that time, and their financial situation wasn't very good.

“My grandparents had no choice but to give me up. The night they sent me away, my grandmother talked to me a lot… Dad, I’m so lucky. I was fortunate to meet my maternal grandmother. She is the person I am most grateful to in my life.”

"If Dad really feels sorry for me and feels guilty, then thank my grandma, thank her for raising me!"

Wen Mingyuan burst into tears, saying again and again, "I'm sorry, it's Dad who's sorry, it's Dad who's sorry!"

After the two calmed down, Wen Mingyuan held Wen Shu's hand and sat down on the sofa.

Only then did Wen Mingyuan formally thank his grandmother: "Aunt Qin, thank you for taking Wen Shu in back then. Thank you for raising him with such hardship. Thank you for raising Wen Shu into such a beautiful, healthy, and sensible child..."

Before she could finish speaking, Wen Mingyuan's tears streamed down his face, and his grandmother was also sobbing uncontrollably: "...It's all in the past, no need to say so much. The fact that you're back safe and sound puts Wen Shu's mind at ease. Otherwise, he would have been worried about you all these years, not knowing whether you were alive or dead..."

Wen Mingyuan cried as he said, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. If I hadn't left back then, and had stayed home to raise the children, things wouldn't have come to this..."

Wen Shu quickly said, "Grandma, Dad, we just agreed not to bring this up."

Wen Shu quickly interrupted Wen Mingyuan, then took a tissue to wipe Wen Mingyuan's tears: "Dad, in my memory you have always been the same as when you left, young and handsome, the most handsome dad in the world."

"How come you've aged so much in the blink of an eye?"

While wiping away his tears, Wen Mingyuan said with a smile, "My daughter has grown up. If I don't get old, I'll become an old monster."

Grandma couldn't help but smile and say, "I never thought you two would meet again after so many years. It shows that you still have some father-daughter bond."
