The biological father wants to acknowledge his relatives.
However, the son he acknowledged was not his biological son.
Is there anything more heartbreaking than this?
Even so, Huo Chenyu still put his arm around Tang Li's shoulder and gave her a meaningful look:
"It's better to adopt a daughter, that way some people will finally give up on having designs on you."
Upon hearing this, Lu Zhixing punched him:
"Look at how stingy you are. If I hadn't been lenient with you, you really wouldn't have had a chance to win the heart of this beauty, believe it or not?"
Huo Chenyu shook his head arrogantly:
I don't believe it.
As the saying goes, "To kill someone is to destroy their spirit."
Lu Zhixing patted him on the shoulder and whispered in his ear:
“Actually, you know better than anyone else that if I had taken just a few more steps, she would already be your fourth sister-in-law.”
Huo Chenyu had seen winners be arrogant, but he had never seen a loser be so cocky!
It must be said that Lu Zhixing's words made him even more certain:
"Dad, we must acknowledge this daughter now, immediately, right now, we can't wait any longer."
Sheng Chaosheng was very pleased to hear this:
“My son is good in every way, except that he is too upright and honest. He always wants to do things openly and honestly. If he had even a fraction of Huo Chenyu’s shamelessness, Tang Li would have been my daughter-in-law long ago.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Li almost choked on his own saliva.
Huo Chenyu was displeased and stepped forward to argue:
"Dad, how am I being shameless? It's clearly Lu Laosi who's incompetent, but he insisted on dragging me into this mess. I'm not happy about that. How can you pursue a wife like that, just letting things happen naturally? What? You don't take the initiative yourself, yet you expect the girl to come to you?"
That's a valid point.
Who would have thought that this father and son would get into a fight?
Huo Chenyu, that scoundrel, was clearly thinking about making sure that Old Master Sheng could live out his remaining days smoothly when he left home.
It hasn't been long, and they've already started to turn on each other.
Sheng Chaosheng simply denied everything:
"Don't call me Dad. I'm not your dad, and you're not my son. If I had a son like you, I would have killed myself long ago. How could I be like that shameless old man Huo, who doesn't even discipline his own son who's turned out like this?"
here we go again!
Tang Li was afraid that the father and son would actually do something, so he quickly tried to smooth things over:
"Uncle Sheng, do you still acknowledge this daughter of mine?"
Sheng Chaosheng nodded hurriedly:
"Of course we should acknowledge it."
Tang Li reached out and took Huo Chenyu's arm, smiling as she said:
"Then, do you still acknowledge this half of a son?"
Sheng Chaosheng sighed:
"Can I deny it?"
Huo Chenyu stepped forward and reached out to help him up:
"Dad, let's stop dawdling and hurry up and get him to acknowledge his family. I want to congratulate Lu Lao Si as soon as possible and wish him and the girl he likes will become the closest siblings in the world. It's such a joyous occasion."
He calls "Dad" so smoothly, it's incredibly natural.
On the way to the Sheng residence, Tang Li sat in the car, held his hand, and asked:
Don't you feel wronged?
Huo Chenyu replied with a smile:
"What's wronged about him? Does he have to remember all those upsetting things from the past, be depressed and unhappy at the end of his life, feel guilty towards my mother, and have no words to see the love of his life, ending up in a tragic way, before it's not considered wronged?"
Tang Li felt sorry for him:
"But he is, after all, your father."
Huo Chenyu thought for a moment and told her the truth:
"The night you plotted against me, after I woke up I thought that you still loved me after all, otherwise it wouldn't have been you who came to me, but Lin Yiyun."
Thinking of this, Huo Chenyu gripped Tang Li's hand tightly:
"I can't imagine how I would face you for the rest of my life if something really happened between her and me?"
Tang Li understood and nodded:
"As long as you don't feel wronged, it's fine."
The ceremony for recognizing the daughter was quite elaborate.
Even Tang Yuan brought Jingjiu along, and Tang Sui and Xu Ji were also there.
After the ceremony, Tang Sui, arm in arm with Tang Li, complained:
"Sis, I think I've been harassed by a pervert these past few days. I'm planning to go back to Tanzhou to open a branch, so I won't be going back to Jincheng for the time being, to avoid that pervert harassing me."
These past two days?
Pervert?
Tang Li scratched his head guiltily:
"Is the pervert you're talking about surnamed Gu?"
Tang Sui nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Cough cough.
Tang Li asked again:
"Isn't he quite handsome?"
Tang Sui shook his head:
"I don't see what's so handsome about him. He just seems pretty sleazy. He's so young and doesn't know how to behave properly. Even if he has a good-looking face, he only deserves to be a pervert that everyone despises."
It sounds like Gu Ming must have done something that is utterly outrageous.
Tang Li didn't dare to say that she was the one who introduced this pervert to her.
It's fine if you stay in Tanzhou; you can attend my wedding.
Upon hearing this, Tang Sui was first delighted, then sighed:
“I’m happy for you that you and your brother-in-law have gotten back together. But, Fourth Brother is really a good person. I always thought that someone as stubborn as you would never look back once you left. To be honest, you and Fourth Brother are a perfect match.”
Tang Li gently patted the back of her hand:
"Don't say things like that again, whether in public or in private. Fourth Brother deserves better."
Tang Sui let out a long sigh:
"I feel sorry for Fourth Brother."
Huo Yancheng appeared out of nowhere, put his arm around Tang Sui's shoulder, and teased:
"Don't just feel sorry for Fourth Brother, Xiao Ping'an, feel sorry for me too."
Huo Yancheng clutched his chest:
