The atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly froze and everyone fell silent.
There was a dim light flickering in Li Yuzhu's eyes.
Su Yingxue saw Li Yuzhu's lost and confused look, so she quickly walked up to her, gently put her arm around her shoulders, and gently comforted her: "Mom, don't listen to Li Yumei, she is deliberately trying to piss you off. We have to see and judge with our own eyes. I believe in Liubao and Dabao, they won't lie."
After hearing what Su Yingxue said, Li Yuzhu's originally dull eyes gradually brightened up. She nodded heavily and said, "Yingxue, you are right. I must confront Tan Xiangchen face to face. Why has he been avoiding me and not contacting me for so many years?"
Seeing this, Tan Zhengchu had an idea in mind. He made a prompt decision and ordered his men, "Lock up Li Yumei and her servants. We will stay here today and sort out these household chores."
The men immediately took action, walked into the restaurant, and walked towards Li Yumei, Xiao Hei and the other servants, preparing to drive them upstairs.
Seeing this, Xiao Hei tried to resist. He struggled and shouted, "Why are you arresting us?" But his resistance was futile and he was quickly subdued.
While being escorted, Li Yumei did not forget to mock Li Yuzhu: "Li Yuzhu, don't dream, Tan Xiangchen will not see you. He is very inferior now because his face is ruined, and he dare not face you at all."
When Tan Zhengchu heard this, his face darkened and he ordered in a cold voice: "Li Yumei, shut up! I don't want to hear another word from you!"
Soon, Li Yumei, Xiao Hei and other servants were driven into a room upstairs and tied up.
Tan Zhengchu began to make arrangements for a possible meeting between his mother Li Yuzhu and Tan Xiangchen. He carefully selected a spacious and bright room, had it cleaned, and prepared some things his mother liked.
Tan Zhengchu silently hoped that his mother's pain for so many years could be resolved here. He was looking forward to his father Tan Xiangchen bravely standing up and meeting his mother, so that the two could reconcile and the family could be reunited.
Liubao and Dabao held Li Yuzhu's hands tightly and walked quickly with her towards Tan Xiangchen's room.
Along the way, the two little guys' faces were filled with anticipation, and they seemed to be eager to meet grandma and grandpa.
As soon as Li Yuzhu opened the door of Tan Xiangchen's room, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
The room was filled with numerous portraits of himself, each with a date ranging from the earliest to the most recent.
These portraits densely covered the entire wall of the study, like a silent movie, recording Tan Xiangchen's longing for her.
Li Yuzhu was deeply moved by these portraits. Her eyes instantly turned red and tears flowed out like a flood, unable to be held back.
Seeing this, Tan Zhengfan hugged her in his arms, gave her support and comfort, and said softly: "Mom, don't be too sad."
In Tan Zhengfan's arms, Li Yuzhu's thoughts drifted back to the past.
She recalled the scene of her first meeting with Tan Xiangchen. They were young and beautiful at that time. The moment their eyes met, it seemed as if the whole world became brighter.
And those sweet moments they spent together, every moment sparkled in her memory like a treasure.
However, fate played a cruel joke on them and kept them apart for so many years.
At this time, Su Yingxue and Tan Zhengchu also walked into the study.
They were also surprised by the portraits on the wall and were speechless for a moment.
As a person who studies painting, Su Yingxue has a unique perception of art.
She could see at a glance the deep affection contained in these portraits. Every stroke was filled with Tan Xiangchen's longing and love for Li Yuzhu.
Her eyes gradually became moist, and she said softly: "Zhengchu, look at these portraits, Uncle Tan really loves Mom very much."
Tan Zhengchu looked at these portraits and felt deeply moved.
He finally understood the pain his mother had endured over the years, and he cherished the relationship between himself and Su Yingxue even more.
He secretly made up his mind that no matter what happened in the future, he would never be separated from Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue seemed to sense Tan Zhengchu's thoughts. She looked at him fearfully and vowed seriously, "Zhengchu, no matter how we quarrel or how angry we are in the future, we are not allowed to leave each other, okay?"
Tan Zhengchu hugged Su Yingxue tightly and said firmly: "Yingxue, don't worry, I will definitely cherish our relationship and will never let you feel sad again."
On the other side, Tan Zhengfan, Lao San and others conducted a carpet search throughout the building, hoping to find Tan Xiangchen.
However, they searched every corner but found no trace of Tan Xiangchen.
Tan Zhengfan returned to the study room with a look of loss and dejection. He walked up to Li Yuzhu and said softly, "Mom, we searched the entire building but still couldn't find Dad."
Tan Zhengfan's thoughts couldn't help but drift back to his childhood.
He has longed for the love of his father and mother since he was a child, but because his parents are not around, he has to stay alone in the Tan family.
He had a very difficult time during that period. He often cried secretly alone in the dead of night, missing his parents who were far away.
After hearing what Tan Zhengfan said, Li Yuzhu's eyes revealed firm determination.
She looked at the portraits on the wall and said slowly, "I will wait for him here until the day he is willing to see me. Through these portraits, I can deeply feel his love and longing for me. I believe he must have his own difficulties."
Su Yingxue smiled and gently waved to her two sons Liubao and Dabao, and suggested softly, "Dear ones, let's leave the study first and let grandma be alone for a while."
Tan Zhengchu stood aside and nodded slightly, agreeing very much with Su Yingxue's suggestion. He turned to Tan Zhengfan and said, "Zhengfan, you should also go and have a rest."
Then someone was arranged to guard the study door.
Su Yingxue held Liubao and Dabao's hands and returned to the room where they had lived before.
As soon as she entered the room, Su Yingxue looked at her two sons with a guilty look on her face and said sincerely: "My dears, I want to say sorry to you. I don't care about you enough."
Liu Bao shook his head sensibly and said, "Mommy, we made the decision on our own. It's not your fault."
Dabao rubbed himself in Su Yingxue's arms and said coquettishly, "Mommy, we know you love us very much."
Su Yingxue observed her two sons carefully and found that they seemed to have the shadow of Tan Zhengchu.
Liubao's aloof appearance is very similar to Tan Zhengchu; while Dabao's naughty personality is like another side of Tan Zhengchu.
