Chapter 68 Happy Heartache
Perhaps you have ever wondered what your biological parents look like.
Chen Ming'en was being held, and suddenly his vision began to fog up, and his memory suddenly went back to his childhood.
When he found out his adoptive mother was pregnant and wanted to touch her, he was pushed to the ground. While crying, he was thinking, "I wish I were my adoptive mother's biological child."
The first time he shakily cooked for his adoptive parents and ended up burning his hands because of too much hot water, he thought, I wish I had my biological parents.
Seeing that his younger brother was spoiled to the extreme by his adoptive parents after he was born, he ate the leftover cake of his younger brother on his birthday every year and thought, if I had biological parents, would it be the same?
Maybe I have thought about it.
He had thought about this when his younger brother occupied his house and he could only sleep in the living room, and his drunken adoptive father came home at night and beat him up.
But I would be cursed by my adoptive parents every time. My adoptive father would say that your parents who didn’t want you were bad guys, so they gave birth to someone like you who doesn’t know how to be grateful. You can’t even do a little work at home, so what’s the point of having you?
The adoptive mother would say that my family gave you food to eat and didn't let you starve to death outside, so you should be grateful, don't think about those trivial things all day long, take good care of your sister, and don't think about comparing with your brother, you are an unwanted money-loser, and your biological parents may have died long ago.
Every curse and rebuke, accompanied by pain and hunger, was Chen Mingen's gradual compromise. Obviously, when he was a child, Chen Mingen would act like a spoiled child and call mom and dad obediently, but things were different after his younger brother was born. He became the little trash picked up by the Chen family, and he could only survive in the Chen family by pleasing everyone.
After gradually starting to understand things, Chen Ming'en became numb. He only felt comfortable when he was studying and at school. His classmates and teachers were very nice. However, these good days did not last long. He overheard that his adoptive parents did not want him to go to school. Chen Ming'en, who had always been used to enduring, couldn't stop crying in the corner of the school for the first time.
He didn't even dare to cry in the Chen family, because in return everyone would beat and curse him. It was at that time that Teacher Luo found him and used his connections to get him to take the exam for King's High School. Even after he passed, his adoptive parents would not let him drop out for the sake of money.
This summer he worked hard at his family's shop, hoping that he would feel better after attending King's High School.
But Chen Mingen thought a lot, but he never thought that his biological parents would come to find him.
At this moment, Chen Ming'en was held in Wang Dani's arms for a long time, which was something he had never thought of. He couldn't even move. After he finished speaking, he couldn't help but shed tears.
Qin Lang looked at the child's extremely aggrieved look, and his heart ached. He understood what the child had been through. He reached out to wipe his tears, but his two daughters had already taken out wet wipes and gently wiped their tears.
"Don't cry, little brother. If you cry any more, I'll cry too. Don't worry, you are our child. I am Qin Tianying, your eldest sister. You look exactly like your eldest brother. And dad, when you see dad, don't you think you and he are cut from the same cloth?"
Qin Tianying gently wiped away Chen Mingen's tears, and on the other side was Qin Tianya.
She had clearly seen photos before, but when she actually saw the real person, Qin Tianya felt an indescribable sourness and numbness in her heart, as if her heart suddenly resonated with another person at the same time. She also showed an expression of wanting to cry, which was very similar to Chen Mingen.
"Brother, I'm Qin Tianya, we are twins. You see, your eyes are exactly the same as mine. We are the closest people in the world. You were just stolen by bad people when you were young. We came here as soon as we got the news about you. You are my brother."
Being treated so gently, Chen Mingen's tears were wiped away. Looking at the two beautiful girls in front of him, he realized that Qin Tianying's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to his own, while Qin Tianya's eyes and nose were exactly the same as his own. Her skin was fair and clean and very beautiful. Chen Mingen didn't know why, but he suddenly felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, and couldn't help but say.
"Don't cry either. I...I feel a sudden pain in my heart."
It was as if his heart suddenly twitched with grievance. Chen Ming'en couldn't express how he felt. As a result, Qin Tianya smiled with tears in her eyes, her voice choked with sobs.
"That's because I'm so happy to see you that it hurts a little."
So you must be my brother, right? Because we are twins, so you can feel my heartache, right?
This is the most intimate reaction unique to twins. Qin Tianya held her brother's hand and found that although her brother was thin, he had many calluses on his hands. It should be caused by long-term work, which made her even more uncomfortable.
Chen Ming'en didn't know how to coax a girl, and he didn't know what to do when he was being held. Wang Dani then let go of the child and said.
"Child, you are really our child. You look exactly like your father. Look, when you see him, can't you recognize that this is your biological father?"
Pulling her husband over, Wang Dani asked Chen Mingen to look at Qin Lang. For the first time, she was glad that most of her children resembled her husband's appearance and could be spotted at a glance in the crowd.
Qin Lang and Chen Ming'en were very close, about twenty centimeters apart. Looking at the father right in front of him, Chen Ming'en had already begun to believe that the other party was his father, because there are few two leaves in the world that are exactly the same. He looked similar to the man in front of him, and the two girls next to him also had similarities in their eyebrows.
"So you don't want me anymore, right? You didn't abandon me. Everything my adoptive parents said was a lie, right?"
He asked the question he had always wanted to ask since he was a child. He had thought that when he grew up and had money, he could leave Hong Kong and go to the mainland to look for his biological parents. He would ask himself whether his biological parents really existed, and whether they were really as bad as his adoptive parents said.
Did they really abandon him?
But now, even though he had asked this question, Chen Ming'en didn't wait for Qin Lang to answer, but gave the answer himself.
"I know."
His voice suddenly became higher, with a hint of excitement, tears in his eyes, and his voice was choked but firm.
"I know you didn't abandon me, right? I know you didn't give up on me, right?"
You are not as bad as your adoptive parents say, right?
Qin Lang's eyes were already red, and he nodded with Wang Dani.
"Yes, we didn't abandon you. You were secretly taken away by someone. We didn't know anything about you in these years. We only found out about your situation recently and rushed here. We also brought the police with us. The police can prove that you were not abandoned by us, but were taken away by bad people."
Qin Lang quickly told his son the real reason, Wang Dani added.
"The police are here to investigate your adoptive parents. They bought you from our hometown years ago. They are also criminals who bought children, and they must pay the price. My dear child, we are here to take you home. Not only your parents, but also your grandparents, and your great-grandparents are here..."
As Wang Dani spoke, the others slowly walked forward. Everyone was uncertain at first, but when they saw Chen Mingen, it was as if they saw Qin Lang when he was a child. At that time, Qin Lang also looked very weak no matter how he was raised. The two people now almost overlapped.
Soon Chen Ming'en was overwhelmed by everyone's care and love. He saw tears in everyone's eyes. They didn't want to call him by his name, but just kept calling him a good boy, a good grandson, and a little cousin. These were names Chen Ming'en had never heard before.
Words like "burden", "idiot", and "sickly child" were spoken by the Chen family.
He knew that he had not done a DNA blood test with the other party yet, but he had already begun to hope that he would be their child.
Is that okay? Is he their child? The whole family came out to find a child, so the child who was found must be given a lot of love, right?
He was surrounded by the crowd, and many people watching outside had already seen Qin Lang's face, especially several shops that had been neighbors with the fruit shop for many years. Some people came over to ask about the fun and happened to ask Hong Xiaoshan and others who were standing outside.
"What's going on here? Did Ming'en's relatives come looking for us?"
That’s right, many elderly people around knew that Chen Ming’en was adopted. After all, if it were a biological child, they would want to hold him in the palm of their hands. But the Chen family treated Chen Ming’en as a servant and let this child start cooking for the Chen family at the age of seven. Who could tolerate this?
However, the Chen family has always told others that Chen Mingen's parents no longer want him, and that they are Chen Mingen's benefactors. They didn't want Chen Mingen to starve to death in the mainland, so they brought him here. Some people believed this, but some people didn't.
After all, the Chen family had no youngest son, only a stupid daughter. Many people could see that the Chen family intended to raise Chen Ming'en as their stupid daughter's son-in-law. Later, because the two had a child, they treated Chen Ming'en worse and worse.
"Yes, big sister, are you familiar with Ming'en? Can you tell me how the Chen family treats him?"
Hong Xiaoshan spoke immediately, very sweetly, and directly called the grandmother "big sister", which made the grandmother very happy.
"Oh no! The Chen family treats Ming'en as a servant, and a free servant at that. They have such a bad conscience! If you are Ming'en's family, take that child away immediately..."
Another grandmother nearby heard this and quickly spoke up.
"Ming'en is a good kid, smart and clean. I think he might have been kidnapped by the Chen couple!"
Several people began to speculate, and the street outside was a bit congested. Chen Bin, Chen's father, who drove his own car, was a little surprised to see so many cars and people in front of him. As a result, a middle-aged man saw him and immediately said with a look of anticipation.
"Old Chen, your Ming'en's parents are here to visit. There are so many people here, with such a nice car and bodyguards! I think your family is going to get rich! Ming'en's parents are so rich. You've raised him for over a decade. Shouldn't they make millions by then?"
Hearing this, Chen Bin's face turned ugly. After all, outsiders thought that Chen Mingen was brought back from the mainland, but in fact, Chen Bin and his wife bought him from the mainland. Now, after many years, his biological parents came to visit him. How could Chen Bin be happy?
Thinking of this, Chen Bin rushed in with a cold face...
