"Just went." Zhu Jin paused, "Your father is at home."

"That means he has seen dad." Shi Wei paused, "Didn't he come to aunt's house?" According to the relationship between their two families, if Zhu Jin didn't say that his aunt was at his house, his father should also be at aunt's house. But since Zhu Jin didn't say that his father was also there, it meant that he didn't come.

"I can't explain it anymore." Zhu Jin looked at Shi Wei, thinking that he would ask Shi Wei what happened after dinner. He habitually held Shi Wei's shoulder to bring him in, but when he stretched out his hand, he didn't hold Shi Wei's shoulder, but landed on Shi Wei's waist.

Zhu Jin was stunned. Shi Wei turned his head to look at Zhu Jin and smiled, "Auntie, if you want to support my shoulders in the future, you have to raise your hand higher." After saying that, he raised his hand boldly and easily put his arm around Zhu Jin's shoulders.

The smile on his face was a little proud, "I wanted to do this a long time ago."

"It's not worth it for you to be so proud. Let's go in and eat first. You must be hungry." Zhu Jin pulled his hand down and did not let go. He pulled Shi Wei's wrist and went into the house.

Shi Wei followed with a smile, being very well behaved.

"Has your personality changed as you grew up?" Zhu Jin opened the door, looked back at Shi Wei and asked.

"Has there been any changes? I think I've just grown up and isn't as noisy as before." Shi Wei's voice had just fallen when Chonglou took over.

"It is difficult to change one's nature!" Chonglou said slowly, and his eyes could not help but fall on Shi Wei who had grown into a young man.

As soon as I saw it, my eyes jumped, and the first thought that crossed my mind was, 'Are wrinkles starting to appear at 28?"

As soon as the thought flashed through his mind, Chonglou's face darkened. He had always thought of himself as still young, but in front of a thirteen or fourteen year old boy, he looked like a real uncle!

Many aunts of the same age like the boy, which is enough to show his charm, not to mention that Shi Wei is a good-looking boy. Shi Wei is already liked by Zhu Jin, but she can't like him more. Zhu Jin must be sent to a school full of playboys as soon as possible!

Scarcity makes things valuable. Zhu Jin must see clearly as soon as possible how deceptive these young men are! Chonglou made up his mind in an instant, but he didn't show anything on his face.

"Doctor Chonglou." The smile on Shi Wei's face faded instantly when he saw Chonglou. He greeted him, looked at the food on the table, then turned his head to continue talking to Zhu Jin.

"Auntie, I'm going to go home first and tell dad that I'm having dinner here."

"Well, of course I have to go back and tell him." Zhu Jin knew without guessing that Shi Wei came directly to her house just like he did before and didn't go back at all.

Shi Wei passed through Zhu Jin's house and returned home. He saw Shi Shangbai sitting silently on the sofa and said, "Dad, I'm back."

"Yeah." Ishigami Kashiwa looked back at him and nodded, "Change your clothes first."

"Auntie asked me to go eat." Shi Wei approached Shi Shangbai, "She said you won't go."

"Well, I won't go over." Ishigami Kashiwa nodded calmly.

"I'll go over first." After a moment of silence, Shi Wei spoke again.

"I originally prepared the meal only for myself." Ishigami Kashiwa was not surprised at all.

When Shi Wei came back, there were a few more dishes that he liked on the table. It was obvious that they were prepared earlier but not put out, so they were put out temporarily because of his arrival.

The dinner atmosphere was not lively but harmonious. After the meal, Chonglou reluctantly left, leaving Zhu Jin and Shi Wei who had something to say to each other.

"Shi Wei, what happened during this period of time?" Zhu Jin asked the first thing after sitting down.

Shi Wei was silent for a moment. The smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by an expression that was unfamiliar to Zhu Jin. Zhu Jin looked at Shi Wei like this and slowly realized that Shi Wei in front of him had changed in just half a year. He had grown up, his face was still childish, but his expression was no longer that of the child who would never grow up.

After seeing each other again half a year later, the child who she had puzzled over countless times suddenly grew up. Zhu Jin looked at Shi Wei who had finally grown up as she wished, but she did not feel any joy.

Shi Wei didn't notice Zhu Jin's abnormal mood. He was silent for a moment before speaking, "A lot of things happened. Dad is not my biological father."

Shi Wei himself didn't know why his tone was so calm. He had wanted so much to talk to Zhu Jin, hoping that Zhu Jin could understand all his fear, unwillingness and other emotions. He even imagined how to say it.

After thinking about it so many times and looking forward to it for so long, I finally had the chance to talk to Zhu Jin, but when I opened my mouth, I found that his tone was so calm.

Before Zhu Jin could react, Shi Wei continued, "After I knew the truth, I lost my temper with him and accused him of not stopping me from getting the identification done. I was scared and sad at the time, so I said something I didn't think of, saying that he wasn't my father at all..."

"Afterwards, Dad seemed to have become a different person. The root cause of his change was me."

After Shi Wei finished speaking, Zhu Jin was speechless for a moment. All that could be uncontrollably in her mind was how good Shi Shangbai was to Shi Wei. Her father was the best father in the world, and Shi Shangbai was a father who was no less good than her father. He gave Shi Wei a fatherly love that even her biological father might not be able to give her...

Zhu Jin recalled the look on Shi Shangbai's face when Shi Wei said he wanted to do an appraisal. At that time, he was busy taking care of things because of her... What was his mood at that time?

Everyone says that the grace of raising a child is greater than the grace of giving birth to one, just like what Shi Shangbai said that Shi Wei would always be his son, but how cruel this was to Shi Shangbai...

Zhu Jin looked at Shi Wei with a complicated gaze, and finally said only one sentence, "...your father said before that you will always be his son."

Many people would feel sad for Shi Wei, and Zhu Jin was no exception. After all, it went without saying or thinking about it, and Shi Wei's growth in half a year could be seen. However, Zhu Jin couldn't help but think that this truth was the cruelest to Shi Shangbai.

When she was wandering in her previous life, she had seen many children crying and acting crazy because their parents were not their biological parents, as if they were the most miserable people in the world. They were either grateful to their adoptive parents, or alienated themselves from them and wanted to find their biological parents, and some even hated their adoptive parents outright.

At that time, the whole world was paying attention to their sadness, but no one paid attention to the adoptive parents and saw the pain they endured.

At that time, she didn't understand and couldn't figure it out. Compared with her own children, such truth is actually the most cruel to the adoptive parents. Why can everyone ignore them?

How painful it is for them to face the bloody reality and their children when they know clearly that the child is not their biological flesh and blood but love him/her to the core, and when they ignore and forget whether the child is their biological flesh and blood?

Zhu Jin didn't even dare to imagine how Shi Shangbai felt when he heard Shi Wei's request to take him to do the appraisal, and he didn't even dare to imagine how he felt when he heard Shi Wei's words.

If that happens, the injury will last a lifetime. No matter what Shi Wei does in the future, I think he will never forget it and will never be able to recover...

Zhu Jin was thinking blankly when she heard Shi Wei's voice. She heard it but didn't know what he said and couldn't react.

Shi Wei noticed Zhu Jin's abnormality after speaking for a few words. He stopped talking and patted Zhu Jin's shoulder, "Aunt? Aunt?"

"Ah..." Zhu Jin was awakened, looked at Shi Wei and shook his head, "I'm fine."

“…Auntie also thinks I’m wrong…” Shi Wei whispered while looking into Zhu Jin’s eyes. He wanted to laugh, but his laugh turned out uglier than crying.

"No one can be accused of being wrong in such matters." Zhu Jin shook his head, his heart heavy.

Things like this are originally just a matter of a thought in people's minds, but most of the time this thought is too difficult.

"Auntie's eyes are clearly blaming me." Shi Wei didn't look up, "This is all my fault. It's me who made Dad the way he is now..."

"No, I don't think so!" Zhu Jin interrupted Shi Wei reflexively, "I've said before that your father said that you will always be his son, so it's impossible that he has changed his personality because of you. Maybe his personality hasn't changed, but he has always been like that." How could Shi Shangbai change his personality for such a reason? His proud personality would not allow it.

Zhu Jin felt more and more that this made sense as he spoke, "For someone like your father, he should have worried about whether you were his biological son a long time ago, and he would have definitely thought of the current situation, so it's impossible for him to change because of the reason you gave. Your thinking is biased, and being unconsciously polite and guilty to him may be what he hates the most."

"Really?" Shi Wei thought blankly and asked unconsciously.

"I think so..." Zhu Jin nodded. She couldn't tell what kind of person Shi Shangbai was, but she knew that he was not the kind of person Shi Wei described.

"My grandmother seemed to have said that I was wrong..." Shi Wei thought as he recalled, "My grandmother said that my mother asked my father to raise me in order to control him at first. She had originally planned to take me home to raise me when he calmed down, but my father later took good care of me and treated me better and better..."

Shi Wei spoke intermittently about the bloody past, allowing Zhu Jin to hear and see the original, simplest and most real Shi Shangbai.

“…Your mother knows your father very well.” After Shi Wei finished his story, Zhu Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

She saw through Ishigami Kashiwa, and accurately, cruelly, but effectively restrained Ishigami Kashiwa, who kept his word. After her death, he still played a role, allowing the father and son to get to where they are today.

"Shi Wei, you are lucky to have a father like Shi Shangbai." When Shi Wei left, Zhu Jin sent him to the back door. Looking at the lights on in Shi's house, Zhu Jin murmured with emotion.

As long as you are at peace with your life, everything will be fine.

And Shi Shangbai can give Shi Wei everything - peace of mind.

It was not until today that she realized that Shi Shangbai had what she lacked the most, so she unknowingly got close to the Shi family and unknowingly believed in Shi Shangbai...

Shi Wei nodded desperately and said goodbye to Zhu Jin in a hurry. He didn't know why he couldn't wait to run back home. When he saw Shi Shangbai in the living room, his anxious heart, which had been restless for half a year, miraculously calmed down.

What does he have to be uneasy about? His father is Ishigami Kashiwa. He said he will always be his son, so he will always be his son.

What his father said counts.

Shi Wei looked at Shi Shangbai and smiled foolishly. Shi Shangbai turned around and looked at Shi Wei behind him. When he saw his eyes, his eyes flashed slightly and he swallowed the words he was about to say.

At this moment, there was nothing in Shi Wei's eyes that he hated...

Ishigami Kashiwa's hands could not help but exert force. It had only been a short time since she came back...
