As soon as Fu Shen finished speaking, Grandpa Yang, Grandma Yang, and Wang Jingyi, who had just finished washing diapers and walked to the door, all turned their eyes to Huo Xueshen.
Huo Xueshen looked flustered, afraid that if he hesitated even a second, Fu Shen would label him a scumbag who abandoned his wife and children. He hurriedly explained, "I didn't abandon your mother, and I've never had a serious relationship with her. You're here because of her..."
At this point, Huo Xueshen suddenly choked up, his face full of embarrassment, finding it difficult to speak, especially since he was telling his son whom he was meeting for the first time.
Fu Shen frowned deeply. "What about her?"
Huo Xueshen stammered, "It's your mother, she..."
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but she couldn't get them out properly. Her ears were already bright red, and she looked extremely embarrassed.
Grandma Yang saw Fu Shen's face grow increasingly gloomy and immediately understood.
Before meeting Huo Xueshen, Fu Shen knew he was his biological father, but he just couldn't bring himself to call him "uncle."
This was not because he was shy or coy, but because he had always harbored doubts about whether his mother, Tian Huanyan, had been abandoned by Huo Xueshen, and he had accumulated resentment in his heart.
No, we absolutely cannot allow their father-son relationship to become strained.
Originally, recognizing relatives should be a joyous occasion, but it's best not to let Huo Xueshen's hesitant and unclear explanations cause Fu Shen to harbor resentment, otherwise he might refuse to listen to any further explanations.
Moreover, both of their jobs are extremely special, so if their relationship sours this time, it might be difficult for them to meet again in the future.
Grandma Yang looked at Fu Shen and Huo Xueshen and said gently, "You two stay here and explain things clearly. We'll go outside first. Old man, let's go."
Then she turned to Wang Jingyi and said, "Let's go outside for a while and give them some space to be alone."
After they left, only the father and son remained in the house.
Fu Shen stared intently at Huo Xueshen, quietly waiting for him to continue.
Looking at Fu Shen, whose eyes were full of expectation for an answer, Huo Xueshen knew in his heart that if he didn't give his son a satisfactory answer, he would never acknowledge him as his father.
Although he still didn't have much attachment to this world after learning that he had a grown son, after hearing what Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang said, he inexplicably felt a desire to continue living, and even thought about finding an opportunity to settle accounts with Huo Yunqi.
He was demoted and his mother passed away. All of this was not only because of his status as a student studying abroad, but more importantly, because his superiors had clearly protected him very well back then and had even made a solemn promise that as long as he did not step out of the research base, no one would dare to come in and arrest him.
Even though many people outside the community have been implicated because of him, the final choice is always in his own hands.
However, in the end, he still couldn't resist Huo Yunqi's phone call, which was a lie that his mother had passed away.
Fu Shen waited for a long time, but seeing that Huo Xueshen still didn't intend to speak, he turned around in disappointment and prepared to leave.
Upon seeing this, Huo Xueshen panicked and hurriedly shouted, "I was drugged by your mother!"
