"The Qin family has a new son? What's going on? I've lived in this compound for so many years, but I've never heard that they have another son?"
"Could it be that they gave birth to the child on the farm in New Province?"
"Can you use your brain? How can you give birth to a son in his forties in those ten years?"
"Could it be that Chief Qin had a son with someone else and is only here now? Chief Qin isn't from Beijing. He only came here after marrying Teacher Wang."
"Oh my god, how dare you say that? If anyone knew about this, they would definitely tear your mouth apart. Besides, Commander Qin and Teacher Wang have always had a good relationship. I don't believe such a thing would happen."
"I just said that casually, but you said that the Qin family treated Lu Cheng as their son before. Was it because they had a biological son who was not around?"
"Now that you put it that way, it's possible. If Lu Cheng knew that the Qin family's legitimate son had returned, he would probably be furious."
"Who cares about him now? He's worked so hard his whole life, but in the end, it's all in vain. Life is really unpredictable."
…
The compound was destined to be extremely lively tonight, as everyone was excitedly discussing the Qin family's affairs. However, on the Qin family's side, there was a peaceful and joyful atmosphere.
"Come, Xiaoxun, have this." On the dining table, Wang Biyun picked up a meatball for Qin Xun. "When you were a child, you loved eating these meatballs I made. You could eat several in one go. Come and try it."
Qin Xun smiled and said, "Okay."
He picked up the tender meatballs with chopsticks, put them into his mouth and chewed them carefully.
"How is it? Is it delicious?" Wang Biyun asked expectantly.
"It's delicious." Qin Xun nodded affirmatively. He looked at Wang Biyun and smiled gently, "It tastes familiar."
"As long as it tastes good, as long as it tastes good, eat more." Wang Biyun smiled like a flower. No matter whether what Xiaoxun said was true or just to make her happy, she was happy.
Qin Weiguo watched this scene with satisfaction, feeling extremely relieved.
"Okay." After Qin Xun finished eating, he picked up the cup with both hands, faced Qin Weiguo, and said respectfully, "Dad, I toast to you."
"Okay." Qin Weiguo smiled and picked up the glass, clinking it with his. He usually didn't drink while eating, fearing that something important might happen suddenly. But today he made an exception. Such a happy event was worth having two drinks.
"Aunt, I toast to you too." Qin Xun said to Wu Guixiang.
"Okay, okay." Wu Guixiang narrowed her eyes and smiled. This big shot in Hong Kong called her aunt.
"And Aying and Aimin." Qin Xun raised his glass in turn.
Qin Ying and Su Aimin smiled and touched his face.
Then, Qin Xun looked at Su Qingyun, pondered for a moment, and then raised his glass solemnly.
"Uncle, please don't." Su Qingyun was startled when she saw Qin Xun holding the cup with both hands. Before he could speak, she spoke first, "I should toast you."
"No, I must toast you with this one," Qin Xun insisted, his face serious. "Qingyun, if it weren't for you, perhaps I wouldn't have the chance to sit here in my life. It's because of you that our family can recognize each other. So, this time, I'm not toasting you as an uncle, but as a person lost in the world toasting to the one who guided me home. Thank you for showing up."
Qin Xun's smile deepened. "I had always thought that we would meet again, and I was right. However, I didn't expect it to be in this way."
"So, this cup is also a toast to the fate between us."
Su Qingyun pursed her lips, a little hesitant. She looked at the others, and everyone smiled and nodded, meaning that she should accept it.
She nodded, "Okay."
Su Qingyun raised his glass, clinked it with his gently, and then drank the soda in the glass.
"Also, Ji Yue, right?"
"Yes, uncle." Ji Yue responded quickly.
Qin Xun looked at Ji Yue with a scrutinizing gaze, "Are you Qingyun's classmate or friend?"
Su Qingyun was embarrassed and answered first: "Both, both."
"Very good." Qin Xun smiled meaningfully, "Nice to meet you, uncle will have a drink with you." Having seen countless people, how could he not see the unusual atmosphere between this young couple? He just didn't expose it.
"Okay, I toast you." Ji Yue clinked glasses with Qin Xun respectfully.
The adults present looked at each other with ambiguous expressions. Su Aimin buried his head in eating and did not notice anyone's expressions.
"Come on, let's all raise our glasses and thank Yunyun." Wang Biyun raised her glass happily.
"Okay! I agree!"
The family's cups clinked together, and the sound was crisp, like a cheer for today's reunion.
After several rounds of drinking, the men's faces had turned red and their eyes began to blur. Qin Weiguo looked at Qin Xun and finally asked the question he wanted to ask.
"Xiaoxun, now that our family is reunited, what are your plans for the future? Or will you stay in Hong Kong?"
Qin Weiguo knew Qin Xun's identity clearly and had been thinking about it in his mind. He didn't want his son to continue living a life of intrigue in Hong Kong City, nor did he want him to be involved in those disputes.
When Wang Biyun heard her husband ask this question, the smile on her face faded. She never wanted to think about this question, but she also knew that she had to face it.
The old couple are now old, and no one can tell how long they can live. They have been separated from their son for forty years. In the remaining days, she wants to make up for the past years, but she doesn't know if she will have the opportunity to make up for it.
My son is a big shot in Hong Kong. He has such a big family business and his roots are all there. How can he just stay in Beijing?
Qin Xun's eyes darkened. He pondered for a long time before speaking carefully, "Dad, you know that the things happening in Hong Kong aren't just my business. It's such a big company with so many people. Even if I want to go back to Beijing, it will take time. But I can fly over from Hong Kong often to accompany you."
Su Qingyun thought about it and realized that in this era, his uncle, as a Hong Kong businessman, could indeed travel back and forth between the two places frequently.
"Also, I'm already expanding my business to mainland China. I know the largest market in the future is there, so I've been actively seeking partnerships. I believe that in time, I'll be able to shift my focus to mainland China."
"At my age, I also want to retire. I'm already training a successor. Maybe soon, I'll be free and can stay by your side forever."
It's easy for Qin Xun to say, but everyone knows that it's not so easy to do what he said.
"Will this be too hard for you?" Wang Biyun looked at him with concern.
"It's okay, Mom." Qin Xun said in a relaxed tone, "It'll just take a while, and everything will be fine after that."
"Okay, if you're tired, just tell mom. Mom and Dad are here."
"good."
Qin Xun's eyes suddenly turned red. Yes, he has parents now, and parents are always the strongest support for their children.
