News of Tong Anqu's story also reached Chengxiang Lane.
Old Man Liu's legs haven't been very good these past few years, and the Liu family hasn't seen Tong Anqu for several years. Now, seeing how promising Tong Anqu is at such a young age, they've started to think about getting him back.
Liu Qiangdao was too embarrassed to go to the school, so he wanted his father, Liu Laodi, to go instead. After all, Liu Laodi was his maternal grandfather, and it would definitely be better for his grandfather to go than for his uncle to go, right?
Old Liu disagreed, saying, "We agreed not to raise it back then, and the child knows that. I'm too ashamed to acknowledge him."
Liu Qiangdao quickly said, "Dad, what are you saying? Weren't we too grieving and disappointed by Liu Aimei's irresponsible behavior before? Now we've come to our senses. There aren't many relatives left with the Tong family, so we're the only ones left!"
Old Man Liu: "Even if you talk until the sky falls, I'm not going. If you want to go, go by yourself!"
Liu Qiang said, "Dad!"
Old Man Liu tapped his cane a few times, then pointed it at Liu Qiang and said, "You're almost forty! Go yourself if you want!"
Li Xia glared at Liu Qiangdao and said, "You go!"
Back inside, Li Xia said to Liu Qiang, "Don't you know your dad's personality? Tong Anqu definitely won't want to come back! Once your dad gets rejected, he won't say another word! Why don't you go and have a good talk with him? Tong Anqu is only a high school sophomore, how can he possibly talk back to you?"
Liu Qiang thought about it and realized that made sense, so he went to school the next day.
Today, Tong Anqu is a big celebrity at school. The principal even awarded him a bravery award. The junior high school girl who escaped with him is terrified and is staying home today, too scared to go out alone.
When Tong Anqu left the school today, he saw a middle-aged man standing outside, staring intently at him.
In fact, Liu Qiangdao didn't know Tong Anqu either, but he just intuitively saw the most conspicuous one in the crowd.
Tong Anqu went straight to the security room. "I don't know that person outside. He kept staring at me."
Two security guards rushed out immediately, fearing that human traffickers had come to seek revenge on Tong Anqu!
"Who are you? What are you doing here?!"
Liu Qiangdao's smile froze. "Brother, no, no, no, it's all a misunderstanding. I'm Tong Anqu's uncle, and I've come to see him."
Upon hearing the sound, Tong Anqu looked at Liu Qiangdao, who was not far away.
Liu Qiangdao and Liu Aimei do not look alike.
Tong Anqu hated Liu Aimei, let alone the Liu family.
Tong Anqu: "You don't need to say anything more, I don't know you."
Liu Qiang hurriedly said, "It's me, I'm your uncle, your mother's older brother."
Tong Anqu said coldly, "My home is an orphanage. I have no uncles or family members. You can leave now."
Liu Qiangdao made a move to pull Tong Anqu away.
Tong Anqu immediately stepped back, while the two security guards glared angrily at Liu Qiang and said, "What are you doing! The child says he doesn't recognize you. You say you're his uncle, but where were you before? He grew up in an orphanage, why didn't you take him back? Now you have the nerve to come looking for him? Have you no shame!"
The parents and students who were watching the commotion were all pointing and whispering about Liu Qiangdao.
"Now that Tong Anqu has become successful and got good grades, he's trying to curry favor with us. Have he no shame?!"
"I've heard that when Tong Anqu's mother passed away, it caused quite a stir! No one wanted to take care of her, so in the end, they had no choice but to send her to an orphanage!"
"Now you have the nerve to come looking for me? You're shameless!"
Liu Qiangdao blushed with embarrassment after being spoken to, his expression betraying his displeasure. He quickly turned and left.
Tong Anqu remained calm throughout, observing everything as if it were none of his business.
Liu Qiangdao left with a dark face, giving Tong Anqu a glare before he left.
That brat, he's completely impervious to reason!
Liu Qiangdao returned to Chengxiang Lane, cursing and swearing.
In recent years, the gossip surrounding the Liu family has gradually faded, and it has been replaced by other people's affairs.
Liu Qiangdao cursed a bunch of things in the yard.
Old Liu already knew this would be the outcome, so he ignored him and just smoked his cigarette.
Li Xia said sternly, "If he doesn't want to come back, then he doesn't have to! What will he do in the future if he's an orphan without parents?!"
Liu Qiangdao's face turned extremely ugly.
"Alright, that's enough!"
