Chapter 333: The Love of Parents
Fortunately, their hard work was not in vain this time, and they finally found the son they had been dreaming of.
Tan Shaowen recounted the events of the past as if he was telling a story. When he finished, the eyes of this tough guy were already wet with tears.
How could Tan Chen not be moved? His eyes were slightly red. Jiang Ping was already crying uncontrollably. Her hands trembled as she raised and lowered them. She wanted to touch Tan Chen, but she was afraid. The scene was a little awkward for a moment.
Shang Ruoting also sat there silently shedding tears and listening very carefully. As a bystander, she did not blame Tan Shaowen and Jiang Ping for the decision they made back then.
It is pitiful to see the love of parents in the world. They did not want their precious son to suffer with them, so they gave Tan Chen away. I believe they made a great decision back then, and at the same time, they also endured the torment of separation from their flesh and blood for so many years.
But think about it, which child doesn't want to live with his or her biological parents since childhood, even if it means eating coarse food and suffering some hardships?
But at that time, Tan Chen was still young and didn't have the ability to make choices.
Tan Chen sat there blankly with red eyes. At this moment, no one knew what he was thinking.
The few of them sat there in silence, and from time to time they could hear Jiang Ping sobbing.
Shang Ruoting knew that Tan Chen needed to sort out his mood, but it was not good to sit like this all the time.
"Uncle, aunt, Tan Chen must be very confused. Please give him some time."
Tan Shaowen also took this opportunity to nod repeatedly: "Yes, yes, this matter is indeed quite sudden. Don't rush to respond, think about it slowly."
He has waited for more than twenty years, and now he has found the person. He has the patience.
After a long time, when it was already dark outside, Tan Chen slowly stood up.
"My adoptive mother has been kind to Tan Kai since he was young. I just thought it was natural for my parents to treat my younger brother well because he was young."
"When I grew up, I joined the army and sent all the allowances I earned back home, hoping to find a sense of belonging in this family."
"I didn't ask for much back then. I just wanted a parent who loved me like everyone else, but you gave me to someone else."
"How do you know I can't suffer with you?"
"Do you know what I want?"
"Just because you gave birth to me, do you have the right to make any decisions for me?"
Shang Ruoting has been with Tan Chen for so long, but this is the first time she has seen him lose control of his emotions and almost roar.
Although the voice was not loud, every word was clearly heard by Tan Shaowen and Jiang Ping.
Jiang Ping, who had originally stopped crying, started sobbing again.
She stood up tremblingly, and without any hesitation, she threw herself into Tan Chen's arms and burst into tears.
At the same time, he grabbed Tan Chen's upper arm tightly with both hands.
"Son, please forgive your mother... wuwuwu..."
"Mom had no choice back then. Otherwise, how could I willingly endure the pain of separation from my child?"
"Son, I'm willing to give everything to make up for your absence over the years... Please forgive me..."
Tan Chen was not a heartless person. When he first learned that he was not the biological child of Tan Mingshan and Zou Meihua, he had thought about looking for his biological parents, but he was not sure what the scene would be like after he found them.
He was afraid that if he found his biological parents, the outcome would not be satisfactory. If that happened, why would he make himself miserable?
Therefore, he temporarily gave up the idea of looking for her. He had a virtuous, capable and beautiful daughter-in-law at home, as well as the kind elder, Mrs. Shang. Such a life made him unwilling to try that unknown family relationship.
As for what will happen in the future, just as he and Shang Ruoting said at the beginning, let everything take its course.
Now, his biological parents have come looking for him, and they had other hidden reasons for giving him away. Deep down, Tan Chen has forgiven them.
However, he felt a little unfair for being asked to acknowledge the two people immediately.
Seeing Jiang Ping crying sadly in his arms, the feeling that blood is thicker than water is absolutely true, and Tan Chen's heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
He unconsciously raised one hand to support Jiang Ping's body, and patted her shoulder with the other hand.
"Mom..." The voice sounded a little unfamiliar, but it still cheered Jiang Ping up.
Jiang Ping immediately raised her hand to wipe away her tears, no longer caring about elegance and reserve.
She looked up at the handsome boy whose eyebrows and eyes resembled Tan Shaowen: "Son...are you willing to recognize me?"
Tan Chen nodded heavily. In his heart, this is how a mother should be.
He yelled again: "Mom!"
Then he looked at Tan Shaowen, who was crying silently with tears streaming down his face, and called out again, "Dad!"
"Hey!" Tan Shaowen was incredibly excited. He had been waiting for his son to call him "Dad" for over twenty years...
