Chapter 282 Mother and son recognize each other
Zheng Lifan, who had just walked out of the bathroom, suddenly heard a familiar voice and was petrified. She looked around but did not see the person.
The middle-aged woman shook her head gently. She hadn't felt this way for many years...
"Lifan, is that you?"
When Zhu Gaoyuan saw the woman stop, he hurriedly caught up with her. He looked at the familiar face in front of him. Time had washed away this face mercilessly, and the woman's hair had turned much whiter. He opened his mouth and then closed it tremblingly. The two looked at each other in silence.
Zheng Lifan also understood at this time. After more than 20 years, she met this man again...her ex-husband: Zhu Gaoyuan.
After so much time had passed, she didn't mind talking to the other person, but she was afraid to have any contact with the other person at this time.
Therefore, Zheng Lifan just nodded lightly and said indifferently:
"It's me. I have something urgent to do, so I have to leave first." After saying that, Zheng Lifan wanted to leave, but the middle-aged man did not intend to let him go.
When Zhu Gaoyuan saw her, he was still thinking about another person, that is, his daughter who was taken away by his ex-wife. When he saw the middle-aged woman's attitude of wanting to distance herself from the relationship, he still approached her enthusiastically and asked with a smile:
"You are here, which means our daughter is here too, right?"
"I haven't seen her for so many years, I don't even know what she looks like now." The middle-aged man said with tears in his eyes.
Zheng Lifan couldn't bear to see the man's sad look, but she had to be cruel. Their daughter was also in this mall, and she absolutely couldn't let them meet!
"We agreed that each of us would take one child away. Who are you trying to show this half-dead look to?"
"I have something else to do and I have to leave first!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Gaoyuan knelt down in front of her, his hands tightly grasping her arms, begging:
"Please, this is all my fault!"
"Can I see my daughter?" Zhu Gaoyuan was afraid that Zheng Lifan would run away.
He was already in his fifties, and he didn't know if he would have the chance to run into his ex-wife again like he did today. If he couldn't see his daughter through her this time, he probably wouldn't be able to see her again in his lifetime...
In order to make the other party agree to him, the middle-aged man moved his hands to Zheng Lifan's feet and began to kowtow to the woman.
The middle-aged man's behavior was a bit strange, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Zheng Lifan was terrified. What kind of character did these two father and son have? They would kneel down whenever they asked for help!
Oh my God, someone please save her, she can’t delay any longer…
"Dad! What are you doing?"
Zhu Kai chose a gift and paid at the counter. When he turned around, he found that his father was gone. He hurried out of the store and saw from a distance that Zhu's father was talking to a woman with an excited expression. At the end of the conversation, he even knelt down in front of the woman and kowtowed to her.
He had never seen his father like this before and became curious about the woman's identity. Confused, he slowly approached and asked his father, who was kneeling on the ground:
"Do you know this aunt?" Zhu Kai pointed his finger upwards at Zheng Lifan. Seeing that his father didn't speak, he raised his head. The moment he saw the middle-aged woman's face clearly, countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
How does my father know Aunt Zheng?
Are they old friends?
Why is his father just like him, who can only kneel down and beg others?
Should he kneel down too?
Consciousness determined the man's actions. He finally knelt down and helped his father up from the ground with his hands.
Unexpectedly, the other party not only did not get up, but also pressed his head to the ground and said excitedly:
"Son, kowtow to your mother!"
Hearing his father's words, Zhu Kai stopped struggling all of a sudden. He changed the name "father" too quickly!
Although he and Zheng Yi had decided to be together forever, the necessary procedures had not yet been completed. He couldn't bring himself to call Aunt Zheng "Mom"...
Seeing his son remained silent, Zhu's father thought he was silently resisting and quickly explained:
"I asked you to kowtow to your own mother, why didn't you move..."
Zheng Lifan covered her ex-husband's mouth with her hands, making him only able to make "mmm" sounds.
Zhu's father used his hands to pry the woman's hand away from his mouth, and Zhu Kai took the opportunity to escape from the restraints and stood up.
But he didn't stand up immediately, because his father's words kept circling in his mind. Did his father just use the word "real mother"? Could it be that...
"Call mom!"
"Haven't you been clamoring to find your mother all these years? Now that she's here, why are you silent?"
How could Zheng Lifan's strength compare to that of a man? Father Zhu's mouth was finally free, and he said everything he wanted to say.
But those who heard these words lost their freedom from then on...
Zheng Lifan's face was extremely distorted, with fear and pain intertwined. Her eyes were red and swollen, and endless despair filled her heart, as if it was going to drag her into the abyss.
Zhu Kai looked at the woman's painful expression. The sound of her emotional collapse could not be clearer than in his ears, resonating with the trembling of his body. A huge grief instantly swept over him.
Zheng Lifan felt heartbroken when he saw his own son's decadent appearance.
The woman squatted down and held Zhu Kai in her arms. Tears fell one by one, forming a small cloud on the fabric of his shoulders.
"mom, Mom, Mom!"
Zhu Kai's sad voice came from the woman's arms.
Zhu Gaoyuan was genuinely happy. His son and his ex-wife had been separated for so many years, but they could still hug each other when they met for the first time. This showed that their feelings were still there, and family ties were always something that could not be given up.
"What should I do?"
"What should Zheng Yi do?"
"What should we do?"
"Mother!"
Zhu Gaoyuan was stunned. Why did his son's voice sound wrong? It was as if his parents had died. There was no joy in his son's voice at all in reuniting with his ex-wife.
Even what he said was strange.
Why did they involve their future daughter-in-law Zheng Yi when the mother and son recognized each other?
The confused middle-aged man pulled his son up from the ground, held his arm and asked:
"Son, are you okay?"
"mom……"
"Zheng Yi...she..."
Zhu Kai lowered his head again, unable to utter a complete sentence, sobbing continuously. His slightly trembling lips looked as pale as paper, and a whimpering sound came from his rolling throat. The words he uttered were weak and confused, making it difficult to distinguish.
This made Zhu's father even more anxious. A thin layer of sweat formed on his forehead. His eyes widened. He lifted Zhu Kai up and said worriedly:
"Son, are you too happy?"
"Dad will take you to see a doctor right now!"
Zheng Lifan on the side stopped him and said:
"Don't touch him yet!"
