My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 259 - 54 The Woman He Cherished

About half an hour later, Shen Mincheng’s uncontrollable emotions finally calmed down. He wiped away his tears, his expression somewhat sheepish, wanting to look up at Shen Chi but seemingly afraid to.

"Will your biological father agree?" After a long while, he hesitated.

Shen Chi heard something in his tone and raised an eyebrow, "You know who my biological father is?" ƒгeewebnovёl.com

"I can probably guess." Hesitating a little, Shen Mincheng said, "When we found you, the fabric of your clothes was very fine, so I guessed you must be a child from a wealthy family. Later, feeling uneasy, I inquired and found out that around the time you were picked up, several high-ranking officials from the Capital had come to visit the province, and indeed, a child about your age had gone missing. I guessed that you were probably one of those officials’ children, but I was just an ordinary citizen and couldn’t even if I wanted to return you to them. At first, I was still hoping that your parents would come to find you, but as the years passed without any sign from your biological parents, I stopped thinking about it and devoted myself to raising you as my own son."

Perhaps it was because he had regarded Shen Chi as his own child that he had felt such panic, anger, and despair when Shen Chi later wrote letters inquiring about his origins.

He knew well that if his son found his biological parents, he would surely change back to his original surname. In the end, the Shen Family’s line was still to be discontinued.

Just like that, a good son was lost, and in less than two years, the only daughter-in-law who could share his worries also passed away, leaving him feeling wronged and angry. Even though his heart still thought of and missed him, he let go and stopped caring for him, devoting himself instead to Shen Zhu, the stepson who would care for him in his old age.

Now, hearing Shen Chi say that he would still bear the Shen surname in the future, and his descendants would too, Shen Mincheng felt both thrilled and guilty, thinking his former self must have been blinded by lard.

"Don’t worry, he can’t control me," said Shen Chi, his expression indifferent.

If someone else had said this, Shen Mincheng would have doubted, but this son had always been decisive and consistent from a young age. Shen Mincheng didn’t trust many, but he trusted him.

Shen Mincheng returned with a glowing face, while Shen Zhangming and Luo Yufang still had some doubts.

"Chi, what kind of family are your biological parents from?" Luo Yufang asked curiously.

She wasn’t surprised by her grandson’s decision; she was old but her eyes were clear. Chi had always been stubborn since he was a child, and it was hard for others to change what he had set his mind on. If someone else had treated Chi the way his son did, Chi would have retaliated fiercely long ago. Since he hadn’t, and only turned cold, he must still regard him as a father.

She and Shen Zhangming weren’t fixated on whether the Shen Family’s lineage could continue or not; they only hoped their son would have someone to care for him in his old age.

"I suppose I’m from the Red Second Generation," Shen Chi said with a smile, draping his arm around his grandma’s shoulder. "Grandma, you always admired those families of martyrs, those red families, right? Are you happy now?"

"What’s there for me to be happy or unhappy about, as long as you think it’s good, it’s good," the old lady replied with a chuckle, not offended by her grandson’s teasing. "So, they are military as well? No, it must be an officer. Then Chi has got people to look out for him in the military, no need to struggle alone like before."

"Right, even though you don’t plan to change your surname back, they did give birth to you, so you should show respect when it’s due. During the holidays, you should also visit, build a rapport. If you ever need help, they’ll be more willing to lend you a hand."

"And your biological mother, is she easygoing?" Luo Yufang was somewhat concerned about Wanwan’s relationship with her in-laws.

"My biological mother has already passed away," Shen Chi replied, his eyes downcast. "At the time I got lost, my mother had already died."

"Oh, I see," Luo Yufang exclaimed, surprised. "I thought it strange, how there was no word at all about a missing child. It turns out the mother was already gone."

She sounded worried, "Then what is your biological father’s attitude towards you? Right, did he remarry? Are your brother and sister good to you?"

Even though her grandson had grown up, she still couldn’t help worrying about him facing such a prominent family.

"Grandma, don’t worry, my older brother and sister treat me very well. As for my biological father and his new wife, I’m a thirty-year-old man now. Since they never raised me, they don’t have any right to interfere," Shen Chi briefly mentioned the Han Family’s situation.

Luo Yufang felt her eyes welling up after hearing this. Her grandson’s life had been too tough, having suffered when he was young, Shen Mincheng’s later attitude, and struggling alone in the military, enduring countless injuries and hardships without complaining. Now, finally reunited with his biological father, there was still a stepmother eyeing him warily.
