Chapter 824 - Hello Pa!
Chapter 824: Hello Pa!
Tong Hua had a small appetite, and he ate very quickly. He was very interested in the water lily pond at the yard, and he loved taking photos there. He really liked water lilies especially. He ran back joyfully and tugged at Second Old Master Gu as he acted cutely. “Grandpa, can I have one water lily to grow at home?”
“Of course you can!” Second Old Master Gu gave in to all his demands. He could even give him the whole pool of water lilies.
Ah Xi took a glass bottle and got some water. He brought Tong Hua to pick the water lily. Water lilies had a long lifespan. Ah Xi was just about to cut one for him, but Tong Hua felt that it did not bloom well, and he pointed at an exceptionally big water lily.”
“Mr. Ah Xi, I want that one.”
“Young Master, if you grow buds, they last longer. That one there has already bloomed. It can’t grow any longer.”
“It’s fine. When it wilts, I’ll just come back and ask for another one. Grandpa grows them every year, there are so many water lilies.”
“Alright, alright!” Ah Xi cut the water lily that Tong Hua had picked, and he put it in the glass bottle. He even put colorful stones in the bottle, making it seem exceptionally pretty. It was really exquisite, and it seemed as if they had specially grown it in the bottle.
Tong Hua was over the moon. He always liked beautiful things.
The previous time when Gu Xie gave him one, he already liked it.
Second Old Master Gu said, “Baby, Grandpa has a lot of water lilies. If you like them, just come and take them anytime.”
“Thank you, Grandpa.”
Ye Ling was expressionless. This annoying brat is getting along very well with the people in the Gu Family. How blind! Can’t he tell that I hate the Gu Family?
He must be adopted!
The men in the Gu Family sent Shen Qianshu and her family home unwillingly.
Second Old Master Gu was very sentimental. “Little Shu, come back more often when you are free.”
“Okay, Pa.”
Everyone was speechless.
Second Old Master Gu trembled. Tears welled up in the eyes of the kind old man. He found it unbelievable. “What did you call me?”
“Pa!”
“Oh. Ok, ok, ok. Good daughter.” Second Old Master Gu was really agitated. Since he was young, he raised a few sons. He no longer felt strange to be a father, but this was the first time he felt so touched and sad. He wished he could offer everything to his daughter.
The elder brothers of the Gu Family were really touched by it.
Shen Qianshu acknowledged her brothers and kept calling them ‘Brother’, but she never called Second Old Master Gu ‘Pa’. No one forced her to either. Her calling him as such so suddenly made the brothers moved. It was as if their family was perfect. Shen Qianshu went up and hugged Second Old Master Gu.
“Pa, it’s been hard on you.”
All these years. It’s been hard on you.
Blood was thicker than water. Second Old Master Gu dealt with the most among everyone here, and they were deeper. Shen Qianshu felt really sorry for him and wished that calling him ‘Pa’ could somehow comfort him. Second Old Master Gu’s eyes reddened.
People all around were really moved.
Except Ye Ling. He was expressionless.
Everyone was used to it, so they ignored him.
Zhong Ran and Ah Da’s guard cars followed behind. On the way home, Shen Qianshu drove, and they were silent the whole time.
“Why did you acknowledge him so suddenly.”
“I have acknowledged him a long time ago deep down,” Shen Qianshu said softly. “I never called him dad because I felt that it would be too strange. I have called another man ‘Pa’ for over a decade. Mom is unconscious, so I can call her that now, but if she wakes up, I might not be able to call her Mom. Now that we know each other better, it isn’t so strange anymore.”
“You must be glad.” Ye Ling humphed coldly.
“Kinda,” Shen Qianshu said. Her family did not abandon her. They loved her. Naturally, she was happy.
“Of course you are, you have so many elder brothers!”
“…” Shen Qianshu was at a loss for words.
“… “Tong Hua looked at her.
