Chapter 205: We were almost reunited

Yao Wenyin and Fu Jianping nodded immediately.

"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're all right."

Yao Wenyin said, "Your grandfather is blind. It's all his fault for raising such an ungrateful person. If you have any anger, just vent it on him. Grandma will be happy to see you."

Fu Jianping opened his mouth, but he hadn't seen his wife for many years, so he didn't refute her.

This recognition process came so suddenly that Su Heng became socially anxious.

Unexpectedly, it was Fu Yecheng's voice that confirmed their blood relationship.

So do they have to recognize their relatives in front of the police station and in front of everyone?

Su Heng politely called out "Grandpa and Grandma" and then quietly stayed beside Lu Mingchuan, acting like a shy little wife.

The two elders smiled lovingly at Su Heng and praised her a few more times.

After working hard for a long time, Meng Debin, who arranged this reunion, stepped forward, notifying Yao Wenyin to come to the capital in advance, notifying Fu Jianping, and sending people to protect Lu Mingchuan.

"Okay, I say you guys stop occupying the police's territory. If you have anything to say, let's talk somewhere else. I've asked Xiao Zhang to prepare lunch, and we can eat and talk at the same time."

It's already past noon and no one has eaten yet.

Fu Jianping and Yao Wenyin looked at their old friend with gratitude. They had just rushed back and had no time to invite their grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law to dinner.

We've been friends for many years, so you're welcome.

The group, along with Uncle Lin, went to the Meng family for dinner first. However, since they had just met, Lu Mingchuan was not as familiar with them as he was with the grandfather and grandson of the Meng family, so they had little to talk about.

Fu Jianping and Yao Wenyin were not the type of people who would burst into tears when recognizing their relatives. They knew their limits and could see the politeness and alienation in Lu Mingchuan and Su Heng's eyes.

It’s not their fault, it’s just that the reason for recognizing their relatives makes them feel too guilty.

Their own grandson has been living away from home for decades, and they have never given him a day of support. Now, just because of a little blood relationship, they are expected to recognize them as their grandparents. Isn't that embarrassing?

What's more, they raised such an ungrateful person who repeatedly treated his grandson cruelly.

Just thinking about this, Yao Wenyin was so angry that she slapped Fu Jianping's legs several times.

Fortunately, Fu Jianping was not that kind of fragile old man. His bones were still strong. He sat there silently, letting his wife vent her anger.

Neither of the two elders said or asked much during the meal.

Yao Wenyin would chat with Su Heng about the dishes from time to time without asking too many questions, and Meng Xiao would occasionally join in the conversation.

On the other side, Fu Jianping and Lu Mingchuan just ate in silence. Meng Debin looked at the grandfather and grandson while eating. You know what, just look at their postures, they look alike.

I never thought that Mr. Fu would end up like this one day. He doesn’t even dare to talk to his own grandson.

Meng Debin, enjoying the fun, said, "Old Fu, you've held your great-grandson before. Actually, your great-grandson is much more affectionate to me than he is to you."

Fu Jianping, whom I had only met twice: ...

Yao Wenyin, who was standing by, lit up her eyes when she heard what her great-grandson said. She looked at Su Heng with an even more loving expression and said hello several times.

Then she said gently, "When you are free, bring the children to play at home. If you don't want to go to the Fu family, grandma will find someone to buy a yard and you can come to grandma's place to play."

The Fu family has traces of Fu Yecheng's family's past, and Yao Wenyin is afraid that her grandchildren and granddaughters-in-law will feel disgusted when seeing them.

Although the disaster did not affect the family, no one is so magnanimous.

At least Yao Wenyin herself would not be so generous. She was too lazy to care about Fu Yecheng's family. She had not seen them for decades and was not familiar with them.

Yao Wenyin would never allow Lu Mingchuan and Su Heng to live with the children of their enemy.

When Fu Jianping heard his wife mean she wanted to separate from him, he quickly explained, "Their whole family moved out a long time ago."

He also has a scale in his heart. Fu Yecheng disappointed him extremely. He insists on fairness and justice in everything, but he is not really a fool.

Fu Yecheng has severed his father-son relationship by doing this, and his family naturally has no relationship with the Fu family anymore.

He couldn't possibly let his grandson suffer for Fu Yecheng's family.

The grandchildren were not actually very close to him, perhaps because of his strictness.

"I will move his household registration out, and from now on, his family will have nothing to do with us."

Su Heng and Lu Mingchuan looked at him in surprise after hearing this, and they felt much more relieved.

No matter what, Fu Yecheng was raised by Fu Jianping, so it is impossible for him not to vent his anger on him at all.

Yao Wenyin: "You finally did something serious."

Fu Jianping let his wife scold him without daring to say a word in rebuttal.

She felt resentful and believed that he was in the wrong. After so many years, now that he was back, it didn't matter if he got scolded a few times.

Meng Debin smiled and said a few words to smooth things over, and the meal went quite harmoniously.

Su Heng thought about what Meng Xiao had told her. It seemed that there was some story behind the separation of the two elders, but she just ate in silence without saying anything more.

After dinner, Fu Jianping spoke: "Let's all go home and take a look. I will have people clear out the things that don't belong to this house. You should also go back and take a look at the place where your father grew up."

His words carried the request of an elder, but Su Heng didn't care. She looked at Lu Mingchuan, who happened to be looking at her too.

The two looked at each other before nodding.

For the sake of her grandchildren and granddaughter-in-law, Yao Wenyin also returned to this home which she had not stepped into for decades.

Meng Debin stood at the entrance of the yard and watched his old friend and his family leave, his eyes full of relief and nostalgia, as if he was also remembering the days when his wife was still alive.

Well, now it’s my turn to envy Old Fu again.

He turned around to look at Meng Xiao who was still enjoying the show and asked, "How's your date search going?"

Meng Xiao: ...

"I have something else to do, so I need to go out for a while."

Looking at his grandfather's expression, you can tell that he is envious again. It's better for him to slip away first.

Here, Su Heng and the other person followed him back to the Fu family not far away, which had a courtyard with a similar layout.

The yards here are surrounded by tall trees and separated from each other, so the privacy is quite good.

The gate of the Fu family's courtyard is the same as that of other houses. When you push the door open, you will find that the yard is very tidy and the plants planted are ordinary. Unlike the Meng family, old man Meng has the leisure and elegance to take care of some flowers and plants.

The layout of the room is much warmer.

Fu Jianping said to Yao Wenyin, "I didn't move your previous furnishings, but they've been a bit worn out after all these years."

Yao Wenyin saw that the room was almost the same as he remembered, even the vase on the table was still there, and she didn't choke him, which was rare.

Turning to Su Heng and Lu Mingchuan, he said, "These are outdated. We'll replace them with new ones according to your preferences someday. Come, Weiguo's room is on the second floor. I'll show you there."

When she said she wanted to change it, Fu Jianping was not sad at all, but laughed instead.

I use these items not out of nostalgia, but out of remembering the people who arranged them.

It was obvious that she wanted to stay.

Su Heng and the other person followed him up to a master bedroom on the second floor. The furnishings inside were very tidy, probably because they were cleaned regularly.

Yao Wenyin was very satisfied seeing this, and then she took the two of them to talk about her son's childhood, and did not forget to introduce the honors and awards on the table to her grandson and granddaughter-in-law.

Finally, he touched the faded black-and-white photo and said, "Defending the country has always been my pride."

Back then, they were just a little bit away from being reunited as a family.
