"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" Wen Qiuning apologized repeatedly and immediately squatted down to pick up the things that fell out.
She heard the man's low voice say, "It's okay," and the man squatted down to pick up the things.
Wen Qiuning looked up and saw a man in his forties with side-parted hair that was neatly combed.
The man was quite good-looking, with a long face, thick eyebrows, and calm, bright eyes. He was wearing a well-fitting black Zhongshan suit.
Wen Qiuning took a quick glance and then looked away.
Ming Yuanqiao squatted opposite Wen Qiuning and observed her secretly.
It was indeed his daughter. Her eyes were exactly the same as his when he was young, even the way she looked at people was almost the same.
However, this girl's clothes...
She was wearing a gray coat that had been washed out of shape and had frayed edges at the collar and cuffs.
Looking at the pants again, the black pants are a bit short and the knees are worn and white.
You can tell at a glance that his life is not going well. His clothes are so worn out, yet he still wears them.
Wen Qiuning had picked up all the things that had fallen on the ground. She touched them with her knees to fold them neatly.
She handed the item over with both hands, "I'm sorry for what happened just now, I wasn't paying attention."
Ming Yuanqiao took the things and smiled kindly, "It's okay, don't be distracted when walking next time."
Wen Qiuning forced a smile, "Yeah."
They both stood up. Ming Yuanqiao put his things into his briefcase, then looked at Wen Qiuning and asked, "Miss, what's your name?"
Wen Qiuning frowned warily and did not answer.
Ming Yuanqiao didn't force it, smiled and said, "Goodbye, walk slowly."
He walked away first, and Wen Qiuning also walked away. She didn't take this matter to heart.
Ming Yuanqiao had just decided that he wanted to recognize his daughter.
As for how to recognize it back, he needs to think about it carefully.
Su Yuli has been urging Ming Yuanqiao to find a solution these two days, but it's Thursday and Ming Yuanqiao still hasn't responded.
In the bedroom, Ming Yuanqiao sat on a chair and frowned.
Su Yuli kept pacing back and forth, anxious and angry. "Tomorrow is the deadline. I think we should just forget about it and let that bitch tell the truth. Let everyone know that you have an illegitimate daughter outside! Let everyone see your hypocritical face!"
Ming Yuanqiao was annoyed and scolded, "Can you speak less harshly?!"
"I said something rude?!" Su Yuli took two steps forward, pointed at his forehead and cursed, "How dare you do something like that? I can't say anything?!"
Ming Yuanqiao pushed her hand away and said, "You've been making trouble for so many years and you're still not done?!"
"No!" Su Yuli was so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick. "If I knew you had a bastard, I should have killed her back then!"
"That's enough!" Ming Yuanqiao slammed the table. "You're making so much noise, are you afraid others won't hear you?!"
Su Yuli opened her mouth, holding back the curse words that were about to come, and tears immediately flowed down.
She sat on the bed and sobbed, "I've endured humiliation for this family for so many years. I thought we were both old enough to let that incident go. But that bitch is jumping around in front of me with your bastard. How am I supposed to live my life from now on?!"
Ming Yuanqiao pinched his brows, walked over and sat beside her bed, put his arm around her shoulders, and spoke softly, "Yuli, let's not talk about what happened in the past few years. We need to find a way to resolve this matter now."
Su Yuli cried and asked, "How do you think we can solve this problem?"
Ming Yuanqiao wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Don't cry. It makes me sad when you cry."
Su Yuli said: "I just want to ask you how to solve this problem?!"
Ming Yuanqiao patiently wiped the tears from her face and said, "Tell me where she lives. I'll go talk to her tomorrow."
Su Yuli's eyes widened, "You're still thinking about that bitch?!"
Ming Yuanqiao said gently, "I have to think about her. Have I contacted her in all these years? I just want to talk to her and find a solution to the problem."
"Tomorrow is the last day. If I go to see her, it will at least buy time for her to find a solution for us, right?" he added.
Friday.
Wen Qiuning went to work, and Wen Qin was making a pair of cloth shoes for Wen Qiuning at home.
When she heard the knock on the door, she was stunned, thinking it was Su Yuli.
She stood up, walked over and opened the door.
The moment he saw the person coming, Wen Qin was stunned.
The morning sun shone from behind the man, and he was covered in light, enveloping her in it.
The man smiled gently, and even his voice was gentle, "Qinqin."
Wen Qin's eyes were red and her nose was sour. She wanted to throw herself into the man's arms and cry.
Ming Yuanqiao stood at the door and said, "Would you like me to come in and sit down?"
Wen Qin hurriedly moved aside to let Ming Yuanqiao in.
Ming Yuanqiao walked into the house and looked around. The house was very simple and there was not even a decent piece of furniture.
Wen Qin raised her hand and quickly tidied her hair. She was a little annoyed at the moment.
If she had known that the person coming was Mingyuanqiao, she should have dressed up nicely.
Ming Yuanqiao saw the cloth shoes in the small bamboo basket and asked, "Are they for my daughter?"
Wen Qin nodded, then shook her head.
Ming Yuanqiao looked at her awkward expression and smiled faintly, "Why are you so nervous with me? Come and sit down."
Wen Qin recalled Ming Yuanqiao's words back then, smiling faintly, "Don't be nervous. Don't treat me like a leader."
Ming Yuanqiao pulled a chair and motioned Wen Qin to sit down. Wen Qin sat down awkwardly and stupidly.
Ming Yuanqiao sat opposite her and looked at her carefully.
Wen Qin was wearing a blue coarse cloth dress, the color of which had faded. Looking at her face, she looked more than ten years older than her actual age. Her hands were also rough, with thick joints.
Ming Yuanqiao still remembers the seventeen-year-old girl, with smooth and plump skin, innocent eyes, and a look of both joy and shyness when she looked at him.
Although Wen Qin looked at him with a mixture of joy and shyness at this moment, there was none of the same feeling as before.
Wen Qin felt even more uneasy when he looked at her. She lowered her head and rubbed her hands nervously.
"Why are you here?"
"I'm sorry for making you suffer over the years!"
They both spoke at the same time.
Wen Qin raised her head in surprise and met Ming Yuanqiao's guilty eyes. She felt indescribable in her heart.
Ming Yuanqiao looked at her and said sincerely, "Silly girl, why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?"
Ming Yuanqiao could see that the mother and daughter were living in poverty. If he knew that Wen Qin was pregnant with his child, he would definitely help them secretly.
Wen Qin said honestly: "I didn't know I was pregnant at the time, and I didn't know how to contact you."
Ming Yuanqiao sighed, "Blame me, I'm the one who let you down!"
Both of them were silent.
"I only found out yesterday that you and your daughter came to Beijing," Ming Yuanqiao said with a wry smile. "I didn't expect your daughter would be getting married."
Wen Qin said, "I don't want to bother you, but if Ningning wants to get married, she has to explain your situation."
"That's all right," Ming Yuanqiao said. "I have to thank you for raising our daughter so well. Tell me about your life over the years."
