Yan Rong was genuinely frightened. She was quite familiar with Mingze and Shen Hui, and only knew that they had once had a child, but that child was in poor health and died at a very young age. After that, the two never had another child.
How did Lu Huan suddenly become their child?
Not only Yan Rong, but everyone else was also full of question marks. Gu Zhendong took a sip of water and told them about it.
After hearing this, the group of people were stunned, thinking that Lu Huan's background was really quite bumpy, and at the same time they angrily cursed Li Lan.
We are all parents; how can we arbitrarily switch other people's children?
Like Yan Rong, even though she knew that her son was not very healthy when he was born and had been sickly all these years, she never had the idea of giving up the child.
Fortunately, she has finally made it through the years. She not only raised her son to adulthood but also watched him get married. Her health has also improved, and the worries she has had all these years have finally been put to rest.
Li Lan is not fit to be a mother at all. Yan Rong was furious. She had swapped someone else's child and caused that person to suffer for so many years.
Lu Huan is Shen Huimingze's child, which explains everything that happened before. No wonder the girl cried so much early in the morning. Yan Rong can understand her current emotions.
When does she plan to acknowledge the relationship?
"tomorrow!"
The most important thing is that Mingze and Shen Hui can't wait any longer.
Yan Rong nodded, "Then you should go up and comfort the child, tell her to stop crying, or she'll ruin her eyes!"
Lu Huan and Shen Huiming recognized each other and arranged to have dinner together that evening.
Before the three of them could even acknowledge each other, everyone on the Ming family's side already knew.
They were all dumbfounded. If Mingze hadn't presented them with solid evidence, they still wouldn't have believed it.
This is too ridiculous. Everyone will just think that Mingze and Shen Hui wanted a child so badly that they just randomly decided to adopt Lu Huan.
However, with such solid evidence before everyone and Gu Zhendong as a witness, people gradually came to believe the truth of the matter.
Someone muttered quietly, "No wonder this child looks a bit like Shen Hui!"
Upon closer inspection, Lu Huan and Shen Hui do indeed share some similarities, but no one had ever considered this aspect before.
Lu Huan originally just wanted a low-key family reunion, but it turned into a dinner between the two families.
That evening, Lu Huan was still a little nervous and clung tightly to Gu Zhendong's arm, not daring to go in.
The man patted her shoulder reassuringly, "It's okay, I'm here for you!"
Lu Huan looked up at him, hesitant to speak, "I...I'm too nervous!"
I can see it, he's starting to stutter again because he's nervous!
"Didn't you say there would only be a few people? Why is everyone here?"
The thought of the door being full of people made Lu Huan extremely nervous, and she held onto Gu Zhendong tightly, not daring to take a single step.
“They are all your family. After learning that you are the child of your second uncle and aunt, they all wanted to come and see you!”
This is a good thing, so everyone wants to witness it.
The loss of their child has always been a source of pain for Mingze and Shen Hui. Now that they finally have a child, everyone naturally wants to congratulate them.
Grandpa Ming once advised the couple that if they didn't want to have another child, they should adopt one, but the couple refused no matter what.
He had met Lu Huan before; she was a well-behaved and pretty girl. He was overjoyed to learn that she was his youngest son's daughter, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep well all night. At this moment, there were still faint dark circles under his eyes, but his face was radiant with joy.
When Lu Huan reached the door, she became timid and hesitant again. Gu Zhendong, however, went along with her wishes, "If you don't want to go in, we'll leave!"
Lu Huan was stunned, and before she could react to what Gu Zhendong meant, the man grabbed her hand and walked in the opposite direction from the door.
Are you really leaving?
Lu Huan quickly grabbed Gu Zhendong. The man hadn't been using much strength to begin with, and he stopped when Lu Huan pulled him. He turned to look at her, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Hmm?"
Lu Huan bit her pink lips slightly, her eyes still red and swollen from crying yesterday, and said softly, "I don't want to leave!"
She wanted to reunite with them; she had been longing for it for a very long time.
Gu Zhendong knew her temperament, but he was just trying to provoke her. Otherwise, given her turtle-like nature, it would be hard to say when she would get in.
Everyone inside was waiting, with Mingze and Shen Hui being the most nervous and anxious.
Shen Hui kept glancing towards the door and whispered, "What if she regrets it and doesn't want to acknowledge us anymore?"
Mingze wasn't in a much better mood either, though he seemed calmer than Shen Hui. He gave a definite answer: "No way!"
Before seeing the person, Shen Hui remained anxious and uneasy.
Finally, just as she was about to get too restless to sit still and wanted to go out and check on things, the door was pushed open.
The first person to catch everyone's eye was Gu Zhendong. Everyone stared at him for a while before noticing a glimpse of a light pink skirt peeking out from behind his tall frame.
Gu Zhendong tugged at her hand, signaling that she could come out. Lu Huan took a deep breath, cheered herself up, and told herself that they were all people she had met before, so there was nothing to be nervous about.
Lu Huan slowly peeked out, revealing what she thought was a lively and playful smile. After quickly glancing around, she found that both the Gu and Ming families were there, and there weren't enough people at one table, so they had split into two tables.
After finally calming down, she instantly tensed up again, quickly hiding behind Gu Zhendong, her heart pounding wildly.
Gu Zhendong didn't give her a chance to calm down. He took her hand and sat her down. "Sorry, there was traffic on the way, we're late!"
He didn't mention that Lu Huan hesitated at the door because he wanted to save face for her.
Lu Huan sat down next to Shen Hui. She glanced at Shen Hui, her eyes instantly reddening. Then she remembered that she couldn't cry, otherwise she would look bad again, so she whispered "Mom."
Actually, she had wanted to call out to him for a long time, but she had been holding back, afraid that her way of addressing him would frighten him.
Now that he could finally call her that openly, Lu Huan held back his tears and looked at her with teary eyes.
Shen Hui was stunned. She hadn't known Lu Huan for very long, and there was no mother-daughter relationship between them. She hadn't expected Lu Huan to call her "Mom" from the very beginning.
Upon hearing this sound, Shen Hui could hardly believe it, as if she were dreaming, and her eyes quickly welled up with tears.
The mother and daughter seem to have inherited the same talent for crying; wanting to cry but unable to, they both stare at each other with red, puffy eyes.
Gu Zhendong was sitting next to Lu Huan, so he naturally heard her call out "Mom" in a very soft voice.
It's normal for Shen Hui to lose her composure like this.
Gu Zhendong spoke up to ease the atmosphere and tell the two of them not to cry.
Shen Hui looked at her hesitantly, "Huanhuan, could you call me again?"
That "Mom" came so fast, she hadn't even had time to react before it was gone. Shen Hui wished she could record it and listen to it for the rest of her life.
Lu Huan was of course willing, and softly called out "Mom" again. Shen Hui, with tears in her eyes, happily replied with a "Yes."
Mingze didn't say anything, but looked at Lu Huan with bright eyes, hoping that she would call him "Dad".
Lu Huan was raised by her mother alone from a young age and was used to calling Shen Hui "Mom," so she called out "Mom" very naturally.
However, when Lu Huan called out to Gu Zhendong, she seemed a little embarrassed.
She hadn't seen her father much before, but after she started calling Lu Zhong and Gu Youhai "Dad," she gradually got used to it.
Meeting Mingze's expectant eyes, Lu Huan bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before softly calling out "Dad."
Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Mingze waited anxiously, feeling as if each second was an eternity.
During those few dozen seconds of awkward silence, Lu Huan's mood went up and down like a rollercoaster. He was indeed quite disappointed, but after some self-consolation, he quickly came to his senses again.
Since Lu Huan is willing to acknowledge Shen Hui, he will definitely also acknowledge him as his father. The child is just not used to calling someone else "dad" for a while. After spending more time together and getting to know each other, he will get used to it.
Mingze comforted himself with this thought, then smiled at Lu Huan, and the next second he heard Lu Huan call him "Dad".
Suddenly, it was as if firecrackers were going off in my heart, booming and deafening. I couldn't hear anyone else around me, except for Lu Huan's cry of "Dad."
He had just told Shen Hui to calm down and not to cry in front of everyone, but now, after hearing Lu Huan call him "Dad," he couldn't help but feel a little teary-eyed.
Gu Zhendong sat to the side, his lips twitching. He thought to himself that this really was a family of three, even their expressions of being on the verge of tears were the same.
Lu Huan publicly called out "Mom and Dad," which marked the family of three recognizing each other.
Mingze was in a great mood and drank quite a bit of wine with others.
Everyone knows he can't hold his liquor, and they've tried to persuade him to drink several times without success.
Mingze held up his glass and drank heartily, "Today I finally have a daughter! Don't try to stop me, come on, have a drink, congratulations on having a daughter!"
He was genuinely happy; after drinking too much, he boasted, "You all have sons, and I'm the only daughter. How about that? Aren't you all envious?"
So what if he has a daughter? Look how happy he is, he can't even tell east from west.
While Mingze was drinking with people, Shen Hui talked to Lu Huan, asking her how she had been all these years.
Actually, the Lu family treated the original owner quite well, not badly at all. The only bad thing was her own behavior.
After her mother passed away, she suffered greatly alone, often dreaming of her mother at night and waking up crying.
Regardless of the situation, Lu Huan was the type to only report good news and never bad news. "Mom, I'm doing great!"
Having witnessed Guo Yi's attitude towards Lu Huan, Shen Hui knew that Guo Yi truly doted on her and genuinely raised her as her own daughter. Yet, she, as the mother, had missed twenty years. Thinking of this, her eyes involuntarily filled with tears again. "I'm so sorry. If I had taken better care of you from the moment you were born, we wouldn't have been separated for so many years!"
"Mom, haven't we recognized each other now?"
Tonight is a joyous night for both the Gu and Ming families.
Mingze, who was standing to the side, was already so drunk that he couldn't recognize anyone, yet he still insisted on showing off his daughter to everyone he met. Wasn't he just dragging Gu Youhai along to show off?
