Bai Yunshu only revealed his plan after genuinely sensing the goodwill from him.
Dean Xu remained silent for a long time, his eyes filled with reluctance and inner turmoil as he looked at him.
"Baiyunshu, if, I mean if I wanted to adopt you as my son, would you be willing?"
"If you become my adopted son, you won't have to constantly worry about being criticized for your background..."
Bai Yunshu was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"What? You, you must be joking? No, no, I can't. I have a father!"
My father raised me single-handedly, acting as both father and mother to me. Even during those difficult times, he never abandoned me, always keeping me by his side. I will never abandon my father!
Grandpa Bai was truly both a mother and a father to his adoptive mother, who had always been in poor health.
After his adoptive mother was angered to death by Bai Lao Er, Bai Lao Yezi simply took him around to find rare medicinal herbs for his little niece and also to expand the market. He rarely returned to the Bai family's old house.
Dean Xu was moved to tears upon hearing this.
Bai Yunshu became increasingly suspicious. He had a guess in his heart, but he also felt that it was absurd!
"Dean Xu, I appreciate your kindness, but it's really not necessary. I have him as my father, and that's enough for me. My visit here is also a way of saying goodbye to you."
"After this trip, who knows when we'll see each other again..."
Upon hearing this, Dean Xu felt a sharp pain in his heart. This solidified his resolve. At his age, being able to see people again in his lifetime was already an immense blessing.
If he didn't speak up, he estimated he would die with regrets.
Let me tell you a story.
He then recounted his and his wife's eventful and perilous life.
Finally, looking at him with affection, she said, "My wife and I were devoted to scientific research in our early years, all for the sake of our country getting rid of its backwardness and vulnerability to attack."
We're both workaholics, and we didn't have a son until we were both in our forties, which is a pity...
Unfortunately, he was captured by enemy agents who threatened us to hand over our latest research findings...
How can this be allowed? If we hand it over, not only will our family be ruined, but the country will suffer a huge blow.
In the end, my wife and I endured the pain of possibly losing our child and did not agree. Fortunately, the child was eventually rescued by Commander Xiao.
But things were too dangerous around us, so we gave him up for adoption to our good brother…
Bai Yunshu finally felt relieved after listening to the whole thing.
I knew it! After learning that his adoptive father was Bai Weiguo, his attitude towards him changed drastically.
The old man did indeed have dealings with Commander Xiao back then when he donated money and supplies.
It is possible that during this period, Dean Xu and the old man became close friends.
After all, no one knows better than his own father how hospitable, charitable, and sociable he is.
I rubbed my head, which was feeling a bit throbbing, to calm myself down.
He was already in his mid-twenties when he suddenly found out who his biological father was. How should I put it? It was a very strange feeling!
From a young age, the old man told him that his biological father wasn't his biological father, and that his biological parents were heroes. This made him believe he was a descendant of martyrs, and that his entire family had died out. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been adopted by the old man, who was not related to him by blood!
As a result, it was a huge blunder!
After Dean Xu finished speaking, he looked at him nervously, like a criminal awaiting trial.
He's guilty! He couldn't even protect his own child and sent him away. It's understandable that he doesn't acknowledge him. But old woman, how am I supposed to explain this to you when I go down in the world?
When Bai Yunshu calmed down, he saw that the old man, who had been so spirited, was now looking like a child who had done something wrong, with his head down and dejectedly twisting the hem of his clothes.
"Sigh...it's all in the past..."
