Recalling the scene of her first encounter with Congcong, Linglong still felt that it was fate.
If she had not been moved by her husband later and started a family, and now had An An, she would have to depend on Cong Cong for everything.
Congcong means something completely different to her.
She watched the child in the distance watching TV and then running up to play with her sister, and her heart softened.
Usually, the family would live in their own home, but this year, at the age of thirty, they moved into the compound.
Zheng Tianbao, the uncle, insisted on sleeping with Congcong.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s afraid Congcong will leave in the future, or something else.
No one in the family said anything.
Because their daughter was too young to be left alone, Linglong and her husband slept with their daughter.
After being energetic all day, little An An fell asleep quickly and soundly after being fed and patted.
Seeing that their daughter fell asleep, the couple began to talk in low voices.
The topic always revolves around my son Congcong.
Linglong told her mother-in-law about her concerns, and Zheng Tiansen sighed.
"Let's first see if Congcong is Grandpa Deng's grandson before worrying about these things."
"If the human trafficker remains unapproached and there are no other clues to confirm the case, then this matter will drag on forever without a definitive conclusion."
Zheng Tiansen frowned. "Let's go back tomorrow and dig out Congcong's clothes from back then."
"Oh, by the way, have you ever heard of a paternity test?" Linglong suddenly spoke, remembering the method often used in movies and TV dramas.
She just didn't know whether paternity testing was available in China now, and she hadn't studied the subject, so how could she know how common this method would be?
"Paternity test?" After repeating the new term, Zheng Tiansen finally understood its meaning. "I haven't heard of it. Where did you hear it from?"
"Oh, I forgot too." Linglong started to laugh.
If she didn't care too much about Congcong and was not anxious, she wouldn't have said it in a hurry.
"Then let's pick up the clothes tomorrow, and then I'll ask someone about the paternity test."
"Um."
"It's already late, let's go to bed quickly."
"good."
The couple then lay down.
In the morning, the Zheng family woke up very early, mainly because they started setting off firecrackers outside early, and they couldn't fall asleep even if they didn't get up.
Several younger generations paid New Year's greetings to their elders together, and Congcong and Anan also received several red envelopes.
Linglong has been saving Congcong's New Year's money, and now she wants to save a special portion for Anan.
After having breakfast at home, Linglong and Zheng Tiansen suggested going out.
After hearing that they were going back to the family compound, the family members knew why. Zheng Tianbao took the initiative to say that he would take Congcong out to play, so they could go without worry.
They got in the car and left. On the way, the couple started talking about other things.
Let’s talk about Mr. Deng.
After returning home last night, the staff immediately helped me lie down.
But he didn't sleep well at night, and all he could think about in his drowsy state were his daughter and grandson.
As soon as he heard any noise outside, he would get up.
Originally, he was planning to go directly to his ex-son-in-law Sun Junbei and that woman Li Huiru.
As a result, when I stood up, I felt weak.
Originally, he didn't care much about his health, but if Congcong was his grandson, and his grandson was still young, he would have to hold on for a few more years.
As soon as he regained his composure, the old man instructed the staff to call Sun Jun and ask him and his wife to come over.
The staff who have been with Mr. Deng for a long time are also aware of the grievances between the Deng and Sun families, and have always despised Sun Jun and his wife in their hearts.
I also felt that it was not worth it for Mr. Deng to go through so much trouble for these two people, so I quickly went to make a phone call.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Sun Jun was at home when he received a sudden phone call from the Deng family in the compound. He was shocked and only realized after confirming again and again that it was not a dream.
Even when his wife passed away, he still wanted to keep in touch with his wife's family.
Even if his son was lost, he still had this idea.
But when Yue Xu saw him, he either beat or scolded him. He was not a masochist, so even though he had wanted to maintain the relationship with the Deng family, he gave up the idea.
He hasn't been to his mother-in-law's house for a long time.
But he didn't expect that the Deng family would contact him.
He was very surprised to learn that the old man asked him to come over.
When he was told that his wife had to be brought along, his surprise turned into shock.
He knew very well how much his father-in-law looked down on his wife.
What's wrong with the old man? Has he suddenly figured it out, or is he dying?
No matter what the reason was, he was willing to take a trip to the compound.
What he hoped more was that the old man would come to his senses and forgive them, so that all the Deng family's connections would be his in the future.
After hanging up the phone, he excitedly urged his wife to pack up and set off for the compound.
Li Huiru frowned. "Junye, why are you asking me to go?"
"Just go if I tell you to. This time it was the old man who took the initiative to speak."
"Okay then, wait a moment, I'll clean up."
"Hurry up."
After the couple packed up and left their child with the nanny, they went out.
Mr. Deng hasn't seen many people coming to visit him to wish him a happy new year in recent years.
Everyone knows what is bothering him. The New Year, a time of family reunion, is a heartbreaking time for the old man.
The sentry at the door saw Sun Jun and his wife and confirmed with them again and again before letting them in.
I don’t know how many times the sentries in the compound have been replaced. Every time a newcomer is replaced, the old guard will give him some reminders on what to pay attention to.
Among them was Mr. Deng’s taboo, which was that Sun Junye and his wife were not allowed to enter.
Because of this, the sentry specially called the Deng family and found out that it was with Mr. Deng's consent that the person was allowed in.
There were quite a few people coming and going in the compound to pay New Year's greetings today. There was also an old resident who came out to see off guests and recognized Sun Junye, and was very surprised.
Sun Junye and Li Huiru were holding a lot of gifts in their hands.
When we got to Deng's house, the staff were already waiting outside the door. We took the things and let them in.
"Mr. Deng is waiting in the room."
The couple walked in with doubts, and before they could even say hello, they were greeted by Mr. Deng's questions.
"Back then, what happened when Congcong was lost? Tell me in detail again, especially the clothes he was wearing that day. Remember it clearly for me."
Sun Junbei and Li Huiru looked at each other in bewilderment.
Sun Junye was still a little angry inside.
He thought the old man had figured it out, but it turned out that he had called the couple here to bring up old scores.
However, in front of the old man, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and could only hold his breath and say: "Dad, this happened several years ago, who can still remember it clearly."
Old Deng slammed the table in anger. "That's ridiculous! Congcong is your own son. Even if he's been gone for a long time, you shouldn't have forgotten him."
Before Sun Junye could say anything, his wife Li Huiru grabbed his arm and shook her head at him.
Sun Junye finally held it back.
