He glanced at Zhang Yanlin coldly, his eyes full of indifference: "Who are you?"

Zhang Yanlin was so excited that tears came to his eyes. He stretched out his arms towards Huo Chen and was about to give him a hug.

Huo Chen took a few steps back and dodged.

Zhang Yanlin's eyes flickered and he said, "Huo Chen, I am your father.

I'm sorry that you've suffered these past few years. It's all your fault."

The title of father was dispensable in Huo Chen's eyes. When he was a child, he was called a "little bastard" by others, and he was looking forward to where his own father and mother were.

Later, as he grew up, he was extremely resistant to his relatives and never thought about getting married or having children. It was not until he met Xu Ying that he realized that a family could be so happy.

Huo Chen raised his eyes to look at Zhang Yanlin and said calmly: "I don't have a father. You may have recognized the wrong person."

Zhang Yanlin smiled bitterly and said, "How is that possible? Your mother's surname is Zhou. She died when she gave birth to you. The midwife said you died with her.

But I didn't expect that the midwife actually lied to me. I'm sorry, it's Dad who is sorry for you.

Even if you don't want to recognize me, it doesn't matter. You are still a child of our Zhang family, and the door of our Zhang family will always be open to you."

Zhang Yanlin knew when to advance and retreat, and did not press Huo Chen too hard. Instead, he chose to give Huo Chen time to think.

Looking at Grandma Huo, he said, "I heard from this brother, is the jade pendant still there?

Don't worry, even if he is my son, he is still your grandson. As long as Huo Chen is willing to go back with me, I will take you back with me."

Grandma Huo glanced at her grandson with red eyes. She was so old that she would not burden her grandson. She thanked Zhang Yanlin for his kindness and turned to look at Xu Ying: "Give the jade pendant to my granddaughter-in-law."

Xu Ying put down her chopsticks and prepared to take out the jade pendant.

Zhang Yanlin smiled and said, "No need to take it out, the jade pendant belongs to Huo Chen's mother's family.

Huo Chen, even if you don't want to acknowledge me as your father, your mother died giving birth to you, and she never got to see your grandparents until her death.

The old couple are still sending off their children. If you want, you can go meet your grandparents. They are also in Shanghai."

Zhang Yanlin said this and took out the photos.

After Huo Chen saw the appearance of the people in the photo clearly, a complex expression flashed in his eyes. No wonder he always felt a sense of closeness when he first met these two old people.

Unexpectedly, they turned out to be his grandparents.

Huo Chen's body was trembling a little. Xu Ying noticed it. She put down her chopsticks and walked over.

She held Huo Chen's big hand with her delicate fingers and crossed her fingers: "If you want to go and take a look, we will go back in three days, and I will accompany you then."

Huo Chen nodded. He said that he had some connections with the old couple from the Zhou family. When he went to Shanghai for business for the first time, it was these two people who helped him introduce people and brought benefits to the machinery factory.

This is why she was able to get a job in the machinery factory. Later, the semi-automatic production machine he designed was purchased by the old couple of the Zhou family, in addition to Xu Ying's help in promoting it at the Diplomatic Forum.

Huo Chen asked for the address of the old couple from the Zhou family and said no more.

Naturally, Zhang Yanlin would not seek trouble for himself, so he left wisely.

He just drove away.

All the villagers of Xujia Village gathered together.

As soon as Huo Hanjie came out of the Huo family, he was immediately surrounded by a crowd.

"Hanjie, who was the person driving the car just now?"

"Could it be that Huo Chen's family is here?"

Huo Hanjie chuckled and said nonchalantly, "That's true. He's from the big city of Shanghai, and his family is quite rich."

As soon as these words were spoken, Xu Qingqing, who was far away, turned green with anger.

She always felt that Xu Ying was inferior to her because she married a country man, but she didn't expect that he would find a rich husband.

If someone can afford a car, then he must live in a small Western-style house.

Xu Qingqing was so jealous that she felt her fate was unfair.

She is now holding on for her last breath, waiting for Sun Yiliang to pass the college entrance examination and come back.

Sun Yiliang is a teacher. No matter how bad he is, he must be better than Xu Ying.

After Zhang Yanlin left, Grandma Huo looked at her grandson and told him not to worry about her: "Chen'er, just follow your heart. Grandma is old, and it's good for her to stay in the village with your grandfather.

You young people, if you want to go out and explore the world, just go ahead. I see your father cares a lot about you, so if you want to go back, go back."

She is an old woman, so she won't do anything about it.

Huo Chen looked at Grandma Huo, walked towards her, bent down like he did when he was a child, and knelt on her legs: "Grandma, what are you talking about.

Even if I go out, I will take you with me. You will always be my grandma."

Grandma Huo looked at her grandson with satisfaction, her eyes red, and patted her grandson's shoulder: "You are a filial son, but grandma is rooted here and doesn't want to travel to other places.

Yingying's parents are here too. I have nothing to do with them around, but you should go see your relatives."

Her grandson has been independent since childhood and has no other relatives to help him. What Grandma Huo is most worried about is how each of her grandson's relatives will take care of him after she is gone.

Now that his family has come to find her, Grandma Huo is still very happy.

"I will go, but I will still be your grandson." Huo Chen said, then stood up and started to work.

After Xu Ying finished her meal, she sat in the yard and started studying.

She eats late and isn't very hungry at noon, but as an old lady, Grandma Huo has to eat on time.

Xu Ying sat in the sun, stretched comfortably, closed the book and went into the kitchen.

"Grandma, let's have some noodles for lunch!" Xu Ying shouted.

Grandma Huo stood up immediately after hearing this. She was very precious to this delicate granddaughter-in-law: "You little girl, how can you cook when you just came home?

Just come out and let grandma do it."

Normally she cooks for herself when she is at home, so how could she order her granddaughter-in-law around as soon as she comes home?

Grandma Huo was unwilling and insisted that Xu Ying taste her cooking skills.

Xu Ying had no choice but to smile and say, "Then grandma, please help me roll the noodles. That's troublesome to make and I don't like it. I'll cook the dishes. I like this."

When Grandma Huo heard this, she smiled with wrinkles all over her face and agreed.

One of the grandparents was kneading the dough and rolling out the noodles, while the other started preparing the side dishes.

Xu Ying likes to eat noodles with garlic sauce, which makes it taste even better.

The beans used in the sauce are fried with pork. Just a simple stir-fry with lard will fill the room with a rich aroma.

Grandma Huo couldn't help swallowing her saliva when she smelled the fragrance. Chen'er would have a good time in the future.

After having the meal cooked by Xu Ying, Grandma Huo always missed it and wondered if she would have the chance to eat it again.

I didn’t expect that my grandson would marry her directly and bring her home.

The fragrance coming from the Huo family's yard attracted the envy of the surrounding neighbors.

"When has the aroma ever come out of the Huo family before? This great chef's cooking is different. It makes me salivate just by smelling it."
