Xie Wenyuan tugged at his clothes with one hand, trying his best to look more formal.
“This isn’t the first time I’ve met my daughter, and I always want to do my best, at least to leave a good impression. I know I’m not a good father, otherwise we wouldn’t have missed each other for so many years. I just want to give her the best of everything in the world, but I’m also worried that she won’t like me. Do you think all these concerns are unnecessary?”
After becoming a father, it seems that he has developed weaknesses: Xie Zhiyan and Xie Mingzhu.
When he learned that the child he had raised for so many years was not his biological daughter, he only hated his own powerlessness.
If he had been more careful, he wouldn't have made such a big mistake.
Huang Meiling took his hand and patted it gently, as if to comfort him.
“My daughter, like Yingying, is a good-natured and good-tempered child. She won’t care about these things at all. When you meet her, you’ll know that although she looks like me, her kind and honest nature is more like yours. She will understand the good intentions behind everything you do. I was very nervous when I went there last time, but I knew at a glance that she was my child. Sometimes it feels very magical. You and I just need to relax and not put too much pressure on the children. The more nervous we are, the more uncomfortable they will feel.”
Xie Wenyuan sighed helplessly. He was happy that his child was sensible, but the more sensible she was, the more it showed that her past experiences were a disaster for her.
If children raised in love are always spoiled, how could he, as the father of two children who have watched them grow up, not understand these principles of education?
“I feel sorry for that child. Although I have never met her, I can’t help but feel sad whenever I think about how she has been tortured in the mountains for so many years. I wish I could take away all the suffering she has endured.”
Huang Meiling looked out the window, and outside, her eyes were also red, but she didn't want to shed tears at this moment.
Originally, going back to recognize their relatives today was supposed to be a very happy occasion, so they deliberately didn't tell Xie Zhiyan and Shu Ying beforehand, just to give them a surprise at this moment.
It wasn't until the car was about to start moving slowly that she composed herself and gently patted Xie Wenyuan's hand. "When I went back this time, I rummaged through my belongings and found my pair of jade bracelets, which were part of my dowry. I also have an ancestral chest, mostly from my mother's dowry that was later given to me. I'm getting old, and it's not really appropriate for these things to stay with me all this time. My children have all started their own families, so I'll give some of these to Yingying and the rest to our daughter."
In this way, at least the situation can be handled fairly and impartially.
Although Shuying is her daughter-in-law, in her heart she is no different from her own daughter. Shuying worked hard to marry into her family and give birth to children for them. She will always remember this kindness.
Xie Wenyuan nodded, "That's fine, but I don't have anything valuable to give the children."
"What matters is the sentiment behind what you give, not how valuable it is. Our children are all wonderful. If you think like that, you're being superficial."
