The night Song Yuwei spent at the Zhao family's house felt like a dream come true.
She truly felt that the days of sleeping in a custom-made bed costing hundreds of thousands of dollars were a long time ago.
But now, in the Zhao family home, in the bedroom that Zhao Yunye arranged for her, which was even more luxurious than a presidential suite, she has rediscovered that kind of life.
"Daughter! Remember to cover yourself well with the blanket and drink the nutritious milk I made for you as a late-night snack. Also, don't open the window in the middle of the night; it's bad for your health, and you might catch a chill..."
As Zhao Yunye was leaving her room, he kept giving her instructions, as if he was afraid that something might happen to her.
This sight truly shows how worried she is. Song Yuwei is used to it; she had lived this kind of life in her previous life.
After Zhao Yunye left, Song Yuwei fell asleep.
The next morning, when Song Yuwei got up, she heard the crackling of firecrackers outside the window. She groggily tried to open her eyes and found that there was thick smoke in the sky, which was the smoke from fireworks.
She didn't know what was going on, so she wanted to close her eyes and go to sleep again. After all, there were too many auspicious days, and who knew which rich young master was getting married!
But the sound of fireworks and firecrackers seemed determined to get back at her, and she opened her eyes again, looking at the crackling firecrackers outside.
Then he got out of bed, sat in his wheelchair, and walked out of the room.
As soon as she stepped outside, she heard a commotion downstairs.
"Old Zhao! I heard your daughter is very beautiful!"
When Zhao Yunye heard that his precious daughter had been praised, he was overjoyed and beamed with happiness.
"That's for sure! My daughter is stunningly beautiful, with a face that could launch a thousand ships, a beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, a woman of exceptional talent and beauty, a fairy descended from heaven, a beauty that is beyond compare!"
Zhao Yunye got more and more excited as he spoke, and suddenly he wanted to use a hundred adjectives.
Seeing his smug look, Song Yuwei rolled over in her wheelchair.
The twenty-odd people in the room were stunned and all turned their gazes toward her.
They all seemed to have their own guesses, but no one knew if it was true.
"Come, come! Let me introduce you all. This is my very best daughter in the world, Song Yuwei!"
Zhao Yunye introduced her to them directly, his face full of pride: "Isn't my daughter beautiful? Okay? Awesome, right?"
Everyone looked at each other, and soon came to their senses.
"Wow! Mr. Zhao's daughter is so beautiful! She's truly a sight to behold!"
"No wonder he's someone who makes President Zhao laugh and praise him nonstop whenever he mentions him! And this performance truly captures the style of President Zhao in his youth. I remember when President Zhao was young, he was the most handsome young man among all of us brothers and friends. Back then, girls wrote him love letters one after another, you could say they lined up!"
"Hahahaha! Isn't that right? I was so jealous I was grinding my teeth. For a long time, not a single girl wanted to talk to me, but he had one girlfriend after another, constantly changing girlfriends. It was so enviable!"
But in the end, it was his wife who tamed his playboy heart. I remember after they got married, Mr. Zhao became as obedient as a cat; even now, when he's out for a meal, he doesn't spend half a day taking pictures of his wife.
Everyone chimed in, revealing all of Zhao Yunye's past misdeeds.
Song Yuwei found it very interesting and thought it was also a very interesting thing to hear her parents' stories when they were young.
She couldn't help but laugh along with everyone, which made Zhao Yunye's face darken.
He glared at them reproachfully, then said, "How can you all talk like this, revealing all those things I did back then in front of my daughter!"
A whole bunch of people started chattering away...
"The things you did when you were young may seem like you were a scoundrel, but you didn't actually hurt any girls. You always started a new relationship only after breaking up with the previous one, so it's not really a shameful thing."
What's wrong with saying this? Besides, our child probably already knows how his mother and I met, fell in love, and got married. What's wrong with talking about this in front of the child?
"Exactly! And look how happy your daughter is listening, isn't she? These are all stories from our past. We can look back on them like a book, and sometimes they even make us laugh. I remember when you had your first love, you cried so much after your breakup..."
At this point, Zhao Yunye became agitated, "Stop mentioning it! You people always bring up old stories..."
When everyone saw that he was still embarrassed, they laughed nonstop.
From their words and actions, Song Yuwei could tell that they had come today to celebrate the fact that Zhao Yunye had finally found his daughter, whom he had been searching for for twenty years.
Once the topic returned to the main point, they finally got serious.
"Old Zhao, I know better than anyone how hard you've worked and how difficult things have been for you all these years. This daughter has always been a knot in your heart. No matter how much success you've achieved in your career or how many good deeds you've done, it can't make up for the pain and bitterness of losing your daughter."
I know these past years haven't been easy for you, and no matter how busy you were with work or how much your career needed you, you never stopped searching for your daughter. Now that you've finally found her, we are incredibly happy for you.
Zhao Yunye was somewhat moved. These people were his high school and college classmates, and even after many years, they still had a good relationship and their friendship had never diminished.
"Thank you. Finding my daughter is truly the happiest thing that has happened to me in the past 20 years. I don't know how to express my expectations and hopes for her. I can only say that in the past 20 years, every meal I've eaten and every place I've been has been filled with thoughts of her."
I remember the excitement I felt when I first found out my wife was pregnant. I had been hoping since I was very young that I could meet a good partner and have a daughter.
At the time, my favorite child was my daughter, and God granted my wish by giving me one. But I never imagined that before I could even bring her out of the delivery room, she would be stolen away.
Upon hearing this, Song Yuwei couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.
Zhao Yunye loves her so much, he should be very protective of her. Besides, although a hospital isn't heavily guarded, it certainly doesn't pose any security risks. How could she have been stolen from the hospital?
Didn't surveillance exist twenty years ago? Or was it a crime committed by someone familiar with the perpetrators, someone who knew their every move so well that they could have done it flawlessly?
As a result, Zhao Yunye had no clue whatsoever for twenty years.
