The day after Gao Han returned to Qing City, he sent the magic weapon to the first person he wanted, and then rushed to the Tang family in the afternoon. This day was the day he and Tang Zhenping had agreed to meet.
Tang Zhenping's family of four were all there. Tang Xinyu did not embarrass Gao Han as she did in the past when she saw him. Instead, she stood at the door with a smile to greet him.
Gao Han immediately had a red light in his heart. He wondered what Tang Zhenping was planning to do next. Only after he sat down did he know what cards Tang Zhenping was holding this time.
"Gao Han, your uncle brought you to Qing City a year ago and didn't let you contact your adoptive parents. You should not hate your uncle, after all, it was for your own good." Tang Zhenping said with a smile.
"You are my uncle, how could I hate him?" Gao Han lowered his eyes. He basically knew Tang Zhenping's purpose, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes.
"That's good. I know I've been very sorry for you over the past year. To make it up to you, I brought your adoptive parents here. They should have arrived at the hotel by now. After this meal, go back and think about it. Go see them tomorrow morning. You must miss them a lot after not seeing them for a year." Tang Zhenping picked up a dish for him with chopsticks. It was a dish that the original owner didn't like. "Eat more in the next few days and take your adoptive parents out to play."
Gao Han narrowed his eyes under the double blow and threat. It really couldn't be a good thing that Tang Zhenping asked him to come back. He actually brought the original owner's adoptive parents over.
Except Gao Han, the other four members of the Tang family enjoyed the meal very much.
Before sending Gao Han out, Tang Zhenping patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "After you accompany your adoptive parents, my nephew and I will get together and talk about our true feelings. Let the driver take you home tonight."
Gao Han lowered his eyebrows and looked submissive. He clearly felt the pressure that Tang Zhenping put on him, not just on his shoulders. "Then I'm leaving, uncle."
Tang Zhenping smiled and nodded, watching the hovercraft carrying Gao Han away. The smile in his eyes gradually faded and finally turned into coldness.
It would be good if the beating tonight was effective, but if it was not, he would have to resort to some other means. After all, he was his nephew, and he didn't want to break up with him unless it came to that.
The Tang family's driver sent Gao Han to the foot of the apartment building. When he turned around, Gao Han's face was as gloomy as water.
…
The original owner's adoptive parents were arranged by Tang Zhenping to live in a hotel invested by the Tang family. They lived in a luxurious presidential suite. The couple had stayed there before, but they had never felt so comfortable.
"Juan'er, why do you think Tang Zhenping suddenly brought us over? Did something happen to Xiaohan in his home? And didn't he forbid us to contact Xiaohan? Is he planning something by changing his mind this time?" Gao's father, who is middle-aged but still has a simple and honest face, kept asking his wife questions. You can't tell at all that he was once a businessman who had been up and down in the business world for decades.
"Are you annoying?" Gao's mother still had her charm. She was in her forties but looked like she was in her thirties. She was annoyed by Gao's father's nagging and glared at him with her phoenix eyes.
Father Gao laughed, and even after being scolded, he shamelessly approached her and patted his wife on the back, "Don't be angry, it will harm your health and cause wrinkles on your face. Look, there's a wrinkle at the corner of your eye. You must take good care of yourself when you go back."
Just as Gao's mother was about to scold him, she suddenly stared at the door in a daze, her eyes quickly filled with tears. She pushed Gao's father aside, walked to Gao Han who suddenly appeared, and hugged him directly, "My son, you have lost weight. Those bastards of the Tang family said that they would take good care of you after taking you back, but they actually made you so thin. If not... I would never let them go."
Gao Han's whole body was stiff. Apart from his gradually blurred childhood memories, he had seldom been so close to anyone, let alone a hug. The warmth from Gao's mother's body and the heat from her voice wrapped him tightly. He felt strange and uncomfortable, yet at the same time, as warm as if he were back in the mother's womb.
Gao Han sighed in his heart, is this what it feels like to have someone care about you?
"Son, son," Gao's father stood behind Gao's mother, grinning at Gao Han, whose head and chin had to rest on Gao's mother's shoulder. He spit on his face with a snort, "You look so funny right now."
Gao Han touched his face, and the memories of his father flooded into his mind almost immediately. The more he thought about it, the clearer it became, as if it had happened yesterday.
Finally I remembered why Gao's father started from scratch. His success story was due to an antique from thousands of years ago. At that time, Gao's father, who was still young, bought a wine pot in the antique market. The seller said it was a porcelain from the Song Dynasty and had an immortal aura. Gao's father believed it immediately.
After returning home, they washed the wine pot and poured wine into it. The whole family, young and old, shared a cup and drank it, saying that it could get a taste of the immortal spirit of the ancients. Later, Gao's mother asked an expert to identify it. The expert said it was a urinal from the Qin Dynasty. Although it was real, it was hard to describe. The only thing that made people happy was that the Gao family became rich overnight with this urinal.
Gao Han couldn't be happy. He would rather not remember the fact that he had drunk the urine of ancient people. Judging from the little information, one can see how unreliable Gao's father's character is. The real hero for the Gao family to achieve such achievements in the next ten years was his mother who was holding him tightly.
Mother Gao is strict and decisive, she keeps her word and is thoughtful. She is a strong woman in the business world, but she is not like other strong women who show up in public. Instead, she is the woman who silently stands behind Gao's father. She is the real boss of the Gao family.
Gao Han put his hand on Gao's mother's back and smiled gently. Originally, he didn't want to get involved in the world of the original owner's adoptive parents because he was a loner. He was afraid that once he felt the warmth of family affection, he would not want to let go. Now, he has changed his mind.
This couple, whose hearts are tied to their adopted son, have not felt the slightest bit of estrangement because of the one-year separation. In their hearts, he is their son. What reason is there to be estranged from him? If they really do this, I'm afraid they will notice it, and maybe even have all kinds of wild thoughts, and finally suppress their emotions in order to fulfill his wishes. So, just let nature take its course.
"Son, how come your face is so white and tender? How do you maintain it?" Gao's father suddenly pinched Gao Han's cheek and said, "Tell Dad to take care of your mother too. She has wrinkles on her face."
The warm atmosphere was destroyed by Gao's father. Before Gao Han could react, Gao's mother stepped on his foot, and his father cried out.
"If you don't speak, no one will think you're dumb!" Gao's mother rolled her eyes at him. Seeing his expression as if his legs were about to break, she could no longer tolerate it. "Why are you pretending? I didn't really step on it."
Father Gao immediately stopped pretending, "Wife, I'm doing this for your own good. If you don't take good care of yourself, and someone says you're a yellow-faced woman, I'm afraid I'll rush up to them and fight them, even if it's a woman who says that to you."
Gao's mother sighed helplessly. On the surface, she seemed helpless about his childishness, but in fact, the corners of her mouth were curled up. "Okay, enough with the jokes, it's time to get down to business."
Once Mother Gao became serious, her whole temperament changed. Father Gao didn't dare to move anymore and stood beside her like a loyal dog.
"Xiao Han, did Tang Zhenping tell you something? He didn't let us contact you a year ago, and suddenly took us in. He is definitely not such a kind person. Is he trying to use us to threaten you?"
