The whole room is filled with complexity and exquisiteness, as if you have stepped into a kingdom of colors. The entire wall is made up of pink and blue. The pink wall is decorated with exquisite paintings, and the blue wall is decorated with intricate carvings. Each decoration is placed just right, and the floor is covered with exquisite and colorful Persian carpets.
The old lady touched the various utensils in the house one by one, and deep nostalgia could be seen in her eyes. Tonghua followed her and tried hard to find the traces left by the owner of the room.
Finally, the old lady stopped in front of the desk in the house, and Tonghua followed her gaze to the golden photo frame on the desk.
The photo shows a woman with a bright smile facing the camera, her hands on the railing of the cruise ship deck, and in the distance is the boundless sea.
When she saw the person in the photo for the first time, Tonghua's heart skipped a beat and tears started to flow out without warning. Seeing the face that looked almost exactly like her own, the image of her mother in Tonghua's heart became clearer and clearer until it overlapped with the person in the photo.
A sour emotion filled her entire brain, almost breaking through her entire psychological defense. Tonghua bit her lower lip hard to restrain herself from losing control of her emotions.
"well!"
The old lady sighed deeply, stroked Tonghua's back, and comforted her: "Good girl, cry if you want to, your grandma is here!"
Tonghua could no longer control his emotions, and he fell on the old lady's body and cried bitterly, shouting, "Grandma!"
It was not until then that she truly felt that she was a member of the Chen family. Although there was no direct evidence, just based on the face that looked almost exactly like hers, Tonghua understood what it meant that blood is thicker than water.
When Tonghua accepted her identity as a member of the Chen family, she naturally changed the way she addressed Chen Chuzhi and Chen Muzhi. When she first called Chen Chuzhi "cousin", she felt a little uncomfortable, but Chen Chuzhi treated her like his beloved sister and was very good to her, so Tonghua got used to this identity.
Chen Muzhi clamored to hold a grand welcome ceremony for Tonghua and invite all the important figures in Chengdu.
But Tonghua didn't want to make such a big fuss and repeatedly rejected the proposal. Finally, under Tonghua's strong refusal, the old lady gave up the suggestion.
On this day, Tonghua was walking with the old lady in the old house. Suddenly, the housekeeper came in from outside and said something in the old lady's ear.
The old lady turned around and said to Tonghua with a smile, "You two are truly in love. It's only been a short while, and your grandson-in-law can't wait to come pick you up?!"
Just as Tonghua had a premonition, she saw Qin Zun appear at the door.
Qin Zun walked up to the old lady and greeted her. The old lady then took Qin Zun's hand and started chatting about family matters.
Only after the old lady left did the two have a chance to be alone together.
Tonghua asked, "Why are you here?"
"We originally agreed to stay for a few days and then go home, but now you've been here for more than half a month. If I don't come to pick you up, I'm afraid you'll plan to live here permanently."
"It's just that grandma wants me to stay here for a few more days. Why are you so nervous?"
"If I weren't nervous, you'd probably run away again at any moment!"
Ever since Tonghua left without saying goodbye last time, Qin Zun has been like a frightened bird. Whenever there is a little disturbance, he worries that Tonghua will leave him again.
This time, Tonghua made many promises to Qin Zun before he agreed to let Tonghua leave for three days. However, he didn't expect that one three days would pass, and then another three days would pass. Qin Zun had finally finished most of the pile of work, and came here without stopping.
"Don't worry, next time I want to run away I'll definitely tell you in advance, okay?"
Qin Zun became even more nervous when he heard this. He held Tonghua's shoulders with both hands, his eyes flashing with a fierce look: "If you try to escape again, I will break your legs!"
This aroused Tonghua's rebellious psychology. She pushed Qin Zun's hand away, her eyes full of anger: "Why do you do this? Just because you are rich? I am just an ordinary person? But I am not that ordinary person with nothing now. I am now the sister of Chen Chuzhi, the head of the Chen family. I am not a plaything for you to do whatever you want!"
Tonghua has always been resentful about Qin Zun's dissatisfaction with their marriage and the fact that he forged his identity. Even though he had his reasons and concealing his identity was not his wish, he had so many opportunities to explain the situation to her during that six months.
But he didn't have any!
Tonghua even began to doubt whether he had ever been sincere to her during that time!
Seeing that his words accidentally angered Tonghua, Qin Zun quickly explained: "I didn't mean that, I was just too afraid that you would leave..."
Tonghua turned around and looked as if she didn't want to listen to his explanation.
"Cough, cough..."
Two deliberate coughs came from the side, interrupting their conversation.
Chen Chuzhi came over and said to Tonghua with a serious face, "Grandma is looking for you! She's in the hall!"
"I understand, cousin."
When Tonghua walked towards the hall, Chen Chuzhi followed her and said, "You did the right thing. Don't be afraid. Now, no matter what happens, I, your brother, will support you from behind!"
Tonghua looked at him gratefully.
When Tonghua walked into the hall, for some reason, the hall, which was empty just now, was now crowded with people. Tonghua looked around and found that in addition to some people who were there when she first arrived at the Chen family, there were also many people she didn't know.
Tonghua entered the hall, walked up to the old lady, and greeted her politely, "Grandma, are you looking for me?"
The old lady saw Tonghua coming and pulled her to her side. She introduced her to everyone around her: "Today, I invited everyone here to witness something. The child next to me is my long-lost daughter, Chen Rong..."
As soon as these words were spoken, whispers were heard from all corners of the house. The younger ones had no idea that the old lady had ever had a daughter. The older ones were also confused. The old lady's daughter had been missing for many years, so how come a granddaughter suddenly appeared? If the granddaughter was here, then where was the old lady's daughter?
In fact, Tonghua once wondered why her mother left the Chen family. Chen Chuzhi's answer was because of a marriage.
Because the Chen family had suffered a conspiracy from both inside and outside that year, leading to its imminent bankruptcy, in order to save his family business, Mr. Chen planned to overcome this difficulty through marriage.
But her mother was strong-willed and refused to accept the arranged marriage, so she ran away from home.
