After hearing what Sun Yuqi said, Mu Jingran realized that he shouldn't have brought up this topic today, but it was too late to regret it now.
"I'm sorry Yuqi, I shouldn't have brought up this topic."
Looking at Mu Jingran's face full of shame, Sun Yuqi laughed.
"It's nothing. I've already let go of these things. There's no point in dwelling on who was right and who was wrong back then. It will only make me feel bad. Besides, if they hadn't abandoned me, I wouldn't have been able to spend eight years happily with my adoptive mother."
Sun Yuqi's words made Mu Jingran feel less guilty, but he still felt regretful.
Neither of them spoke for a while. When Chen Kun brought in four dishes, he noticed something unusual, but he didn't think much about it. Instead, he said with a smile on his face.
"Jingran, come and help me catch it. You're in for a treat today. I worked so hard to get these ingredients, and I'm going to cook them for you today."
Chen Kun's voice broke the silence between the two. Mu Jingran smiled and walked forward to take it and put it on the table.
"Grandpa Chen, it's great! We're really in for a treat today."
Sun Yuqi also stood up to help take the dishes off the tray and put them on the table.
Chen Kun also sat down and took out a bottle of Moutai from the cabinet beside him.
"Come on, Jingran, sit down quickly. Let's have a few drinks today. This wine was given to me by an old leader. Your grandfather came several times to drink it, but I didn't take it out." After saying this, he shook the bottle of wine in his hand with a look of pride.
Mu Jingran put the wine glass on the table with a smile. Chen Kun poured two glasses of wine and then looked at Sun Yuqi and said.
"Girl, do you want to drink?"
Sun Yuqi shook her head.
"Grandpa Chen, you guys drink, I don't drink."
Chen Kun glanced at Sun Yuqi.
"Girl, you're right to feel resentful. That couple has always been profit-driven. I saw it when they let their daughter marry that playboy from the Gu family. But the situation was like that at the time, and it's hard for us outsiders to say anything. Later, when you were sent away, Grandpa Chen was also in trouble. He wanted to bring you over to raise you, but he couldn't do it!"
Sun Yuqi looked at Chen Kun in surprise. How did he know that? Not only Sun Yuqi, but also Mu Jingran beside her looked at Chen Kun in astonishment.
Chen Kun looked at the expressions of the two people and said this.
"This small door leads to the kitchen. I heard it while I was cooking. But don't blame me. You guys insisted on telling me. I didn't mean to hear it."
Hearing Chen Kun say this, Sun Yuqi was a little amused and shook her head.
"Grandpa Chen, I really didn't expect that you are old acquaintances with them."
Chen Kun laughed.
"Girl, we are related by blood. Your grandmother and I are cousins. Her last name is Xue, and mine is Chen. Our mothers are sisters. This means I am Shen Qingrou's cousin."
Sun Yuqi never thought that she had a blood relationship with Chen Kun.
"However, although we are cousins, I look down on her and the Shen family's ways of dealing with people. We didn't have a very good relationship back then, and we basically didn't interact much."
"Girl, it doesn't matter whether you recognize them or not, but I do want to recognize you as my granddaughter. Please think about it. Jingran knows that I have never had a family in my life. I am alone and my family is gone. When I was young, I was also quite a playboy. Although I later changed my mind, the situation suddenly changed and my family fell into decline. Although I am single now, I still have several properties and a few stores. Don't worry, I will be able to support the two of us."
Although Chen Kun's words were a little incoherent, Sun Yuqi still understood them and felt touched. In this life, and three lives in total, only her adoptive mother cared for her. The other relatives were just strangers with blood ties. Now someone wanted to adopt her, and Sun Yuqi was willing in her heart. It had nothing to do with family business. Sun Yuqi still felt Grandpa Chen's thoughts.
Besides, Grandpa Chen is alone now and has no relatives in this world. I am also alone. Why don’t they recognize each other? This would be a good thing, right?
Mu Jingran heard Grandpa Chen say this and felt happy for Sun Yuqi. Wouldn't that mean Yuqi would have a family now?
After Sun Yuqi figured it out, she smiled and nodded.
"Grandpa Chen, I'm willing to acknowledge you as my grandfather. Just like you said, you're alone now, and I'm alone too, so let's become a family. But Grandpa Chen, how old are you this year? You look very young to me!"
Chen Kun was very happy to hear what Sun Yuqi said, and said.
"Okay, then I'll make the arrangements. Let's find a good time for a recognition ceremony. Call all those old guys and make them bleed. Oh, about my age, Grandpa will tell you that I'm already sixty-three this year. I look young because I take good care of myself. Although I've been sent down and suffered some hardships over the years, it doesn't matter. I'm still as strong as ever, hehe."
Mu Jingran flattered from the side.
"Oh, Grandpa Chen, you just have a good attitude. Look, you are about the same age as my grandfather, but you look a lot younger than him."
Chen Kun was happy because Sun Yuqi agreed to recognize her as his relative, and because of Mu Jingran's flattery, he happily patted Mu Jingran on the shoulder.
"Good boy, you know how to talk. I'll tell your grandpa what I've said. It'll definitely make him scream."
Mu Jingran's face fell immediately after hearing what Chen Kun said. Seeing Sun Yuqi sitting next to him, he burst out laughing.
"Oh, hurry up and eat the food, or it will get cold if you wait any longer."
Seeing that he had almost finished talking about the matter, Chen Kun hurriedly asked the two of them to eat quickly.
Sun Yuqi ate a lot during the meal. Now she finally understood why Mu Jingran brought her here to eat. Grandpa Chen's cooking skills were really amazing.
When Sun Yuqi and her friend said goodbye, they also agreed with Grandpa Chen that the recognition ceremony would begin ten days later, and he would invite old friends to be witnesses within ten days.
Sun Yuqi also understood the old man's thoughts and agreed. Just now while eating, Grandpa Chen also told Sun Yuqi about his life experience.
It turns out that the Chen family was not from Beijing, but from Jinshi, not far away. The Chen family started doing business in the late Qing Dynasty, and the business started to grow bigger and bigger during the Republic of China. However, no matter how big the business was, it was useless if the situation was not good. Finally, the Chen family sold the business and moved to Beijing.
