Chapter 345: You gave the child away without my knowledge?
Tan Shaowen became even more confused when he saw that the old man's words were so convincing.
"Dad, you're not mistaken, are you?"
"After so many years of turmoil, the Li's Roast Chicken you mentioned should have been lost long ago."
He felt more and more that his guess was correct. The old man must have missed that taste so much that he said that.
The old man tried to defend himself: "No, this is the most delicious thing I have ever eaten. I will never make a mistake in my life."
Seeing that the old man was getting stubborn, Tan Shaowen didn't intend to continue arguing with him.
The origin of this roast chicken was not what he cared about at the moment. He wanted to let the old man taste these delicacies first, as he intended to lay the groundwork for what he would say later.
It would be bad if I told the old man too suddenly that I had a son, in case he got too excited.
But seeing that the old man was arguing with him about the roast chicken, Tan Shaowen decided to get to the point.
"Dad, I don't know if this roast chicken is the Li's product you mentioned. I only know that it's made by our family."
This time, it was Mr. Tan who was shocked.
"What did you say? We made this ourselves. Are you stupid?"
"Our surname is Tan, and theirs is Li..."
Tan Shaowen wanted to talk about serious matters now, so he naturally didn't take the old man's ridicule to heart.
"Dad, this roast chicken is indeed made by our family."
When Mr. Tan saw his son say this, his eyes became much more serious.
"Dad, actually I didn't go out for business this time, but for some personal matters."
"I told you back then that the child could not be saved, but that's not true."
"At that time, I knew something was going to happen at home, and I didn't want the child to suffer with us. The day after he was born, Jiang Ping and I discussed giving him to someone else to raise."
Old Master Tan suddenly stood up, his aura was definitely not inferior to Tan Shaowen, and even more so.
"What did you say?"
"You gave the child away without my knowledge?"
"Cough cough cough..." The old man was so angry that he touched his chest with a painful expression.
Tan Shaowen was afraid that telling the truth would make the old man excited. The doctor had already said that the old man had a bad heart and his mood should not be allowed to fluctuate too much.
"Dad! How are you?"
"Xiao Liu, quickly bring my dad's medicine." Tan Shaowen shouted outside the door, asking the guard to get the medicine.
After a violent coughing fit, Mr. Tan waved his hand and sat back in his original seat with a pale face.
"No need, your dad is not made of paper. Keep talking. I want to know everything that happened back then."
Seeing this, Tan Shaowen had no choice but to continue telling the story.
"Four days after sending the child away, our family went to the northwest."
"After returning to the capital, Jiang Ping and I searched everywhere for that man's whereabouts. Finally, with this clue, we successfully found my son, your grandson..."
When Mr. Tan heard this, he stood up and grabbed Tan Shaowen's hand.
"Where is the child now?"
"Have you ever been bullied?"
"Bring it here and show it to me."
Tan Shaowen looked at the old man's anxious look, stood up and said comfortingly: "Dad, don't worry, listen to me and tell you slowly."
How can Mr. Tan not be anxious?
He had already given up hope, but suddenly he heard that he still had a grandson in this world. How could the old man not be anxious?
Mr. Tan immediately puffed his beard and glared: "You said you're not in a hurry, so you're not in a hurry?"
At this time, the guard also came in with a small medicine bottle.
He tactfully placed the medicine bottle on the table and immediately walked out.
It is not appropriate for him to attend such an occasion.
Tan Shaowen comforted the old man again: "Dad, your eldest grandson is fine. He is in Beihe Province, not too far from us. Please listen to me first."
The old man regained some of his sanity by now, and slowly sat down in his chair, waiting for Tan Shaowen to continue.
"Dad, when I gave my son away for adoption, I named him Tan Chen."
"He currently lives in a place called Sihe Village in Beihe Province. He's married, and his wife just found out she's pregnant yesterday. It's inconvenient for him to leave right now, so I came back to tell you the news."
As he spoke, he pointed at the things on the table and said, "This roast chicken was made by your granddaughter-in-law herself. And these watermelons and strawberries are also good things that the young couple came up with."
"So how are they living now?" This is the question that the old man is most concerned about.
When Tan Shaowen thought about his son's life, he was envious.
"Tan Chen and his wife are both capable. They live a good and wealthy life." As for the fact that Tan Chen was discharged from the army due to injury, he was afraid that it would be too late to explain it if he told it, and it would make the old man excited, so he planned to wait until the grandfather and grandson met before telling it.
