When the boy heard Du Wenli's words, he didn't answer, but walked forward and opened the door.
The two looked at each other and were both stunned for a moment.
Because the boy's face looked so much like Du Wenli's when he was young, Du Wenli looked at him as if he saw his former self.
Then, he said with a choked voice, "Are you Zhongzhong? You've grown so tall!"
The boy still had some impression of his father Du Wenli and already knew who the person in front of him was.
He replied coldly: "My name is not Zhongzhong, my name is Bai Jingde!"
"Bai Jingde? Haha, this name was given to you by your grandpa, right? It's very good, very good. Jingde, do you still remember me? I'm your father!"
"My mother said my father is dead."
"How could your mother tell you that? I'm still alive!"
"But what's the difference between you and being dead? I don't even remember you anymore!"
"Jingde, do you hate dad so much? Dad had no choice but to leave Beijing and not come back to see you for so many years! When Dad was with your mom, your mom and your grandpa looked down on me!"
"Dad was just trying to prove himself, so he had to leave you behind and go to a place as far away as Shenzhen to make a living!"
"In the past five years, Dad has truly never forgotten you, his son. I think of you often! We are biological father and son, blood is thicker than water, and no one can change this fact!"
"Here, look, Jingde, this is the toy Daddy carefully selected for you. Do you like it?"
After Du Wenli said some sad words, he saw that his son's face remained cold and silent.
Then he put the two boxes of supplements in one hand on the ground.
Then, in a flattering manner, he presented the two boxes of toys in his other hand to Bai Jingde like offering treasures.
Bai Jingde glanced at him with disdain and said sarcastically, "I'm already 10 years old. I've stopped playing with these childish things!"
"Oh, so what do you like to play with now? Tell Dad and I'll buy it for you later!"
"I don't want to play anything. I have to do my homework!"
"My grandpa won't be back for a while. If you're willing to wait, just wait in the living room and don't disturb me while I'm doing my homework. If you don't want to wait, then grab these things and leave right away. Don't waste my time. I don't have time to listen to you talk."
Bai Jingde said this expressionlessly, turned and went into his room, continuing to work on his winter vacation homework.
Du Wenli stood alone in the hall, looking embarrassed.
He really wanted to follow him into the room, but he was afraid that his son would be disgusted and kick him out.
He could only walk around the hall awkwardly, then sat down on the sofa, waiting for Bai Zhenting and Bai Lisa to come back.
He knew that if they saw him, they would definitely not give him a good look.
However, for the sake of his son, he thought that he would have to come and see him in the future, otherwise, Niu Niu might ignore him as a father.
That would be a waste of time!
Therefore, he had to endure the discomfort and anxiety in his heart, wait for them to come back, talk to them, and ease the estrangement caused by not having contact for all these years.
Bai Zhenting has retired and goes out for a walk every day during the day.
Du Wenli sat in the hall for a while, then stood up and walked around for a few steps. He waited in extreme boredom for almost an hour before he came back from outside.
"Dad, you're back!"
"Who is your father? How did you get in? Jingde! Jingde!"
"Grandpa, I'm doing homework in my room!"
"Jingde, did you let him in? From now on, you can't open the door and let people in who you don't know, do you understand?"
"I understand, Grandpa."
When Bai Jingde was criticized by Bai Zhenting, he lowered his head and responded softly, then immediately turned his head away and continued to concentrate on his homework.
However, at this moment he could no longer concentrate on doing his homework.
Hearing what grandpa said, it was obvious that he didn't want to see Du Wenli at all, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
He hated his father Du Wenli.
This is also what the Bai family has been instilling in him, both tangibly and intangibly.
However, when he saw his father coming to see him, he was actually still a little excited and secretly happy.
But he didn't dare show it.
I’m afraid that it will disappoint Bai Lisa and Bai Zhenting.
I am also afraid that this will make me appear spineless and make people look down on myself.
Du Wenli felt distressed when he saw his son being blamed by Bai Zhenting because of him.
He hurriedly explained, "Dad, don't blame Jingde. I told him I came to see you, so he opened the door for me."
"Look at me? What's so good about an old man like me? Go away, our whole family doesn't want to see you!"
"Dad, I know you all still blame me! But Jingde is innocent. After all, he and I are biological father and son. I just want to fulfill my fatherly responsibilities to him and visit him every New Year!"
"Humph, you also know that my grandson is now called Bai Jingde, not Du Yizhong. You already have two surnames, so what's the point of talking about biological father and son?"
"If you knew that you and Jingde were biological father and son, why would you be so cruel to abandon your wife and children, and then ignore Jingde for so many years?"
"Dad, you should know why I divorced Sasha back then! I had no choice!"
"As long as I felt there was even a glimmer of hope and that I could continue living with Sasha, I would never have gone to the point of divorce! And there's no way I'd have given up on Jingde!"
"Dad, I always thought that since you are a man, you should be able to understand my difficulties!"
Hearing his grandfather and Du Wenli arguing fiercely in the hall, Bai Jingde sat in the room with his mind in a mess.
He couldn't concentrate on any of the homework exercises on his desk.
"Hmph, do I understand your difficulties? Do I understand that you're cheating on my daughter? Get out of here right now! My Bai family never wants to see you again!"
"Dad, you can't just kick me out like this. Listen to me—"
"Are you going to leave or not? If you don't, I'll get a broom and chase you away!"
"Dad, listen to me—"
"Shut up right there! Take all these things and get out of here right now! Get out! Never come to my Bai family again!"
Du Wenli didn't want to make this trip in vain, so he wanted to continue explaining and ease the relationship with the Bai family.
However, Bai Zhenting was in a bad mood when he saw him.
Hearing the things he said that he didn't like made him even more unhappy.
He was rudely kicked out the door and then slammed it shut.
He and the four boxes of things he brought were all blocked outside the door.
"Dad! Dad! Jingde! Jingde!"
Du Wenli stood outside the door and called out a few more times in a somewhat embarrassed manner. Seeing no response from inside, he turned around and left with a frustrated look on his face.
Of course, he didn't take the four boxes away, but left them at the door of the Bai family.
