Chapter 264 Reunion
Because it involved the Zhou and Gu families, the rest of the Chu family didn't come along. Chu Yan became their driver, since Gu Yin didn't have a driver's license and the two elders from the Zhou family were too emotionally unstable to drive for the time being.
The car drove all the way to the hotel.
After receiving Gu Yin's call, Gu Qinglang asked the rest of the Gu family to come to their room.
The old man asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Gu Qinglang shook his head: "Ayin said she has something to announce and told us to wait here."
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
A short while later, the doorbell rang, and Gu Qinglang got up to open the door.
He saw that it was Gu Yin and Chu Yan, with two other people beside them. One was the old man who had been with them during the day, and the other was a woman he didn't recognize. She was also wearing a mask and a hat and looked very mysterious.
Gu Qinglang smiled and said, "Come in, your family is all here."
Wang Yanzhi and Zhou Wansheng followed Gu Yin into the house. After everyone had gone inside, Chu Yan was the last to leave and closed the door.
Looking at everyone in the room, Wang Yanzhi and Zhou Wansheng's eyes went straight to Gu Qinglang. Before they could even sit down, the two of them stared at him intently.
Gu Qinglang felt a chill run down his spine. Was that woman's gaze a little too enthusiastic? He didn't seem to recognize her. Slightly flustered, Gu Qinglang looked at Gu Yin and asked, "Who... who is this?"
Gu Yin sighed and looked at Zhou Wansheng: "Don't get agitated, sit down first, it wouldn't be good to scare people."
Upon hearing Gu Yin's words, Wang Yanzhi immediately nodded, wiping away her tears as she sat down next to Gu Qinglang: "Okay, okay, I'm not excited, I'm not excited."
The people in the room weren't stupid. Seeing the two people's attitude and the situation, they vaguely sensed something.
Gu Jianguo and Li Mingfang also became nervous and uneasy.
Seeing their reaction, Gu Yin had no choice but to speak for herself.
"These two are the Zhou family patriarch and matriarch from Gangcheng. They are also Dad's biological father. It has been confirmed that it is true."
Everyone suddenly realized, "That's exactly right."
Wang Yanzhi took off her mask, and everyone took a deep breath, looking at her, then at Gu Yin, and then at Gu Le.
Even Gu Le was surprised; they looked so alike! This had never happened in his past life. Until his death, no family members, including his grandfather, came looking for him. However, both of them had passed away long ago.
"My child! I am your mother! I'm so sorry! I failed to protect you and let you be switched at birth! It caused us to be separated for 48 years! I'm so sorry! Waaah, it's all my fault for being so careless! I didn't even know you were switched! I'm so useless! Waaah!"
Seeing Wang Yanzhi crying in his arms, Gu Qinglang didn't know what to do.
To be honest, he has never lacked love since he was a child. Even when he was in poor health or his family was struggling financially, he never suffered the slightest grievance. Even his older brother only married late because he wanted him to go to school. At home, neither his parents nor his brother ever wronged him.
So ever since he found out he wasn't Gu Jia's child, he didn't really have any expectations of his biological parents. If it weren't for someone constantly harassing his family, he probably wouldn't have gone looking for them. He would just occasionally think about where he came from and sometimes wonder who his biological parents were. But to ask him to give up everything at home and search all over the country would be difficult. He was just a country boy and didn't have that ability.
Now that he's met them, if the other person didn't intentionally abandon him, after they reunite, if the other person is a good person, he'll take care of both sides; if the other person is a bad person, then so be it, he won't force it.
So seeing Wang Yanzhi like this, he wasn't excited at all, but rather a little embarrassed. After all, he was already old enough that his child was almost in college, and he had long passed the age of expecting love from his biological parents. Besides, he certainly didn't lack it. Gu Qinglang ignored the faint excitement in his heart.
"Don't cry, take care of yourself." Gu Qinglang awkwardly reached out and patted the other person's shoulder, as if to comfort him.
Zhou Wansheng noticed Gu Qinglang's discomfort. He understood that there was no rush in getting to know each other; there would be plenty of time in the future. So he helped the old woman up and sighed, "Don't cry anymore. You've been crying all day. Be careful with your eyes."
"Yes, yes, sister, don't worry! Our second son has never suffered in our family! Although we are a bit poor, our care and love for him is no less than that for our eldest son. We are all parents, and I understand how you feel. No matter where our children are, our greatest wish is that they don't suffer, right? Our second son didn't suffer in the first half of his life, and now that you've found him for the second half, he has gained even more love. Isn't that wonderful? You should be happy! Relax, let's not cry! We're getting older, and our eyesight isn't what it used to be for young people. We need to take better care of them!"
The old lady smiled and comforted them, saying that since Ayin had brought the two of them over, it meant that they were a good match. In that case, she would put on a show and treat them as in-laws.
The old lady's words were rough but reasonable. Wang Yanzhi controlled herself and nodded: "Elder sister is right, this is a good thing!" After saying that, she stood up and bowed deeply to the two elders. Zhou Wansheng also stood up and bowed.
Gu Jianguo and Li Mingfang were startled: "What are you doing! Get up quickly!" The two quickly went over and helped the person up.
Wang Yanzhi said softly, "It's only right. You took the child back, gave him a second life, and raised him so well. If it weren't for you, we probably would never have known about this before we died! We don't know how to express our gratitude!"
Looking at her frail appearance, the old lady was afraid she would cry again, so she hurriedly said, "Are you going to take the child away and not let us see him/her?"
Wang Yanzhi immediately shook her head: "No way! How could that be! Although they are my biological children, you raised them! You put in so much effort, I don't have the face to take the children away!"
Li Mingfang laughed and said, "That's settled then. I'm raising my own child, and I don't need you to repay me! As for how the child should get along with you, that's his business, and I won't interfere. The child is all grown up now, and he can make his own decisions. I think you're both good people, so let's not be so polite back and forth. It wouldn't be good if it scared the child!"
Seeing that everyone else in the room was looking at them, Wang Yanzhi suddenly felt embarrassed and nodded, "Then I'll listen to my eldest sister."
Gu Yin breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that they had finally calmed down.
