Chapter 108 Her family is finally together

After completing the hospitalization procedures, it was already dark.

Su Hong asked Si Yan to go back to get some spare clothes and daily necessities, while she and Chen Ran stayed in the hospital to accompany Nian Nian.

Seeing Uncle Chen busying around here and now going out to buy dinner, Su Nian was particularly touched.

"Mom, I think Uncle Chen is sincere to you, and he takes good care of me. Don't blame him for my problems anymore. Besides, my fall has nothing to do with him." Su Hong was afraid that her mother would feel the same way again, so she reminded her quietly, "Such a good man, you have found a treasure. If you miss him, it will be gone."

How could Su Hong not know what Chen Ran felt towards her and her daughter?

If Su Hong was just a stepfather, he would definitely not have said what he just said, because he is his daughter's biological father.

"Niannian, if Uncle Chen... was... your father, could you accept it?"

"Well, I can accept it! I agreed with you from the beginning!" Su Nian thought. She had already determined in her heart that Uncle Chen was her stepfather. This was simply an easy question.

"What I mean is that he is your biological...father." Su Hong didn't know whether it was appropriate to say this at this point, but she said it anyway.

These words were like a depth charge.

Cough cough...Su Nian didn't drink any water and was choked by his own saliva.

—Wait, let me digest this information first. The plot twist is even more exciting than the clothing designs she created!

"When I came back from the south, I found out you were born, but I haven't contacted him since. For so many years, actually... he didn't even know you existed." Su Hong's voice was very soft. "Who would have thought that for more than 20 years, he had been alone..."

Su Hong summed up the long period of more than twenty years in just one sentence, but the amount of information was enough to make a large-scale family ethics drama of 40 episodes, plus three extra episodes.

There was silence in the ward for a long time.

The person outside the door retreated to the bench in the corridor. He didn't dare to go in rashly, for fear that he would accidentally ruin this historic moment.

Su Nian broke the silence, "Mom, if you accept it, I will accept it." She said it clearly and concisely.

Su Hong's eyes suddenly turned red. She grasped her daughter's hand, and Su Nian returned the favor. Her mother was the most important person in her life, and now that she was grown up, she only wished her mother the best.

At this time, the door of the ward was pushed open and the person who bought dinner came back.

The moment I pushed open the door, I saw the mother and daughter in the ward holding each other's hands tightly. Su Hong's eyes were red, and Su Nian's eyes were also wet.

Chen Ran immediately turned on the "I know nothing" mode, and his acting skills were comparable to those of a veteran actor.

He paused, the thermos in his hand still steaming, and his tone unconsciously softened: "Are you impatient? I saw the lean meat porridge at the porridge shop downstairs was fresh, so I waited a few minutes longer and bought some light side dishes." He said this carefully and gently enough to squeeze out water.

As he spoke, he placed the thermos on the bedside table, took out disinfectant wipes from the plastic bag, and wiped the table carefully before turning to Su Hong and saying, "You haven't had dinner yet, let's eat something while it's hot, otherwise your body won't be able to bear it."

Chen Ran said nothing more. He opened the thermos, filled a small bowl with porridge, and handed it to Su Nian: "The porridge is still warm, drink it slowly. If you think it's bland, there are some side dishes on the side. But don't eat too much. The doctor said you need to eat lighter food."

His movements were very gentle, and his eyes were full of meticulous concern, just like the countless times he had seen Su Nian in the company before.

But now there is a bit more fatherly love in his eyes that cannot be concealed.

Su Nian took the bowl of porridge, her fingertips touched the warm porcelain wall, and her heart felt like it was filled with something.

She lowered her head and scooped a spoonful of porridge. The soft and glutinous rice grains slid into her mouth with a faint aroma of meat, but her eyes suddenly became warm - it turned out that this person was not only the "Uncle Chen" who took good care of her, but also her biological father who was connected by blood.

This porridge tastes like a must-have prop at a family reunion ceremony.

The blank period of more than 20 years seemed to be smoothed out by this bowl of warm porridge at this moment.

"Uncle Chen," Su Nian raised his head, his voice lower than usual, but very clear, "you should sit down and eat something, don't stand all the time." As soon as these words came out, Chen Ran almost burst into tears.

Chen Ran was stunned for a moment, then a faint smile appeared on his face. He pulled the chair next to him and sat down, and also served himself a bowl of porridge.

There was no more talking in the ward, only the sound of the spoon hitting the wall of the bowl. The warm yellow light fell on the three people, turning the previous silence and bitterness into a warm atmosphere.

Su Hong looked at her daughter who took the initiative to speak, and then looked at Chen Ran who was quietly drinking porridge beside her. The stone that had been hanging in her heart for more than 20 years finally fell to the ground quietly.

She knew that there was no need to rush to say some things, and the peace and stability at the moment was enough.

After dinner, Chen Ran was packing up the lunch box when the door was gently pushed open. Si Yan walked in carrying a large suitcase and greeted Chen Ran and Su Hong.

"I brought a change of clothes and your daily necessities." Si Yan walked to the bedside, leaned over and touched Su Nian's forehead. "How do you feel? Are you feeling any discomfort?"

"Yeah, not bad."

"Mom, Uncle Chen, you guys go back first. I'm here." Si Yan said.

"You're here so soon. You haven't had dinner yet, right?" Su Hong was concerned about her son-in-law.

"I'm fine. I can't eat right now. Don't worry, you won't starve."

At this time, Chen Ran stood up and said, "I'll go ask the nurse what I need to pay attention to at night."

"I'll go with you." Su Hong quickly stood up. She wanted to take this opportunity to say a few words to Chen Ran.

The two walked out of the ward. Su Hong looked at Chen Ran's profile and said softly, "Just now... Nian Nian knew everything."

Chen Ran heard some of this outside the ward, "She... didn't blame us?"

"No," Su Hong shook her head with a relieved smile on her face, "She said that if I accept it, then she will accept it."

Chen Ran's tense shoulders finally relaxed upon hearing this. He raised his hand and rubbed his brow, his voice choked with a barely perceptible sob, "Okay, okay... That's good." This made him happier than even landing a billion-yuan deal. It was the biggest "family financing" he'd ever received.

At this moment, more than 20 years of guilt and regret seemed to finally have a gentle outlet.

The two stood in the corridor for a while, waiting for their emotions to calm down, before going to find the nurse together.

In the ward, Si Yan was packing his suitcase. Su Nian leaned against the headboard, looking out the window at the night. She remembered when she was little, every time she asked her mother "Where is Daddy", her mother would always change the subject. So the truth turned out to be this. It wasn't the man she had thought didn't love her mother at all...

It turns out that my mother carried her life alone for twenty-one years like this.

It turned out that she did not have no father, but her father was twenty-one years late.

Su Nian knew that in the days to come, she would have another biological father who wanted to make up for the fatherly love she had given her for more than 20 years - her family was finally together.
