On the way out of the hospital, Lu Jianguo and Dong Defang were both cautious, looking at Lu Yao from time to time.
Lu Yao acted like a normal person, holding hands with Duan Mingjie and striding forward without even looking back.
Lu Jianguo and Dong Defang couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so they had to follow behind.
Seeing Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie getting on the bus, they quickly followed.
All the way back to the family courtyard, Lu Yao opened the door and went in.
Dong Defang, who had been holding back for a while, finally couldn't help but said, "Yao Yao?"
Lu Yao turned around and looked at Dong Defang as if nothing had happened, "What's wrong, uncle?"
Dong Guofang opened his mouth but stopped talking.
The words of explanation came to his lips and he swallowed them back. At this time, everything he said was a bit pointless. There is no silver three hundred taels in this place.
He thought for a while, the reason why Yaoyao was so calm just now must be because she knew something in advance.
Lu Yao's calmness preserved the reputation of the entire Dong family and the integrity of the Dong family, and also safeguarded Lu Jianguo's face. Even if someone suspected that Lu Yao was not Lu Jianguo's biological child in the future, everyone would question what happened today.
It turned out that Yaoyao was already so mature and steady in a corner that he didn't know about.
Seeing that Dong Defang was silent, Lu Yao turned to the kitchen to drink water.
Dong Defang glanced at Duan Mingjie, hoping he could give some hints. Duan Mingjie blinked and said nothing.
Dong Defang glared at him angrily.
Duan Mingjie looked innocent.
Lu Jianguo, who had been silent all this time, said after Lu Yao came out of the kitchen, "Yao Yao, if you want to ask anything, just ask."
You have to face it sooner or later.
Yaoyao has grown up and is able to take on responsibility. She has the right to know her life experience.
Dong Fufa suddenly looked at Lu Jianguo, his eyes full of dissatisfaction, "Lu Jianguo, what are you talking about!"
Lu Jianguo closed his eyes and said, "It's nothing. Whatever you want to eat, I'll cook it."
Lu Yao lowered her head and smiled, "Dad is injured, can he still cook?"
Lu Jianguo was silent.
He did make a lame excuse.
Lu Yao looked at Dong Defang, "Where's uncle, don't you have anything to say to me?"
Dong Defang smiled flatteringly at her and said, "Yaoyao, you are great today. I didn't expect that after a few years of being away, you have matured a lot and can help us solve our problems."
Hearing this, Lu Yao wanted to laugh, but held back, "It seems you are not going to tell the truth to me."
Lu Jianguo frowned, and then, as if he had made a major decision, he said softly, "Yao Yao, Wang Caizhi is right..."
"Lu Jianguo, shut up!"
Before he finished speaking, Dong Defang shouted loudly and shouted back.
Lu Jianguo looked at Dong Defeng with firm eyes, "Yao Yao has grown up. She should know the truth. She has the right to know who her biological father is!"
The stone that had been weighing on his heart for many years finally fell, making him feel more relaxed than ever before.
Once you have the beginning, it doesn’t seem that difficult to start.
"I am indeed not your biological father."
Lu Yao, who had known the truth for a long time, still had red eyes after receiving the confirmation.
"Your mother is very gentle and kind to everyone. When my mother was seriously ill, my younger brothers and sisters also had to go to school. As the eldest son of the family, I had to drop out of school and go home to farm. Your mother gave me five hundred yuan after knowing my situation. I spent 1 yuan to treat my mother’s illness and also provided for several of our brothers and sisters to finish high school.”
Lu Jianguo fell into memories. Even though more than twenty years had passed, he still remembered that Dong Na appeared in front of him when he was most desperate, illuminating him like a beam of light.
In the end, his mother was not cured and passed away. Dong Na often came over to see his sister and bring her delicious food.
He knew that Dong Na was only nice to them because she was kind, but he still couldn't help but miss her.
He knew how much he weighed. Even if Dong Na didn't marry a well-matched man, she would still find an outstanding young man, and it was definitely not him.
Thinking of this, Lu Jianguo smiled bitterly, "Maybe it's because I accumulated virtue in my previous life, and God gave me a chance."
Hearing this, Lu Yao frowned.
"One day, your mother suddenly came to me and asked if she would like to marry me."
Seeing Lu Jianguo's expression as if he had received the most precious treasure in the world, Lu Yao's heart ached.
Lu Jianguo looked directly into Lu Yao's eyes with a gentle smile on his face, "That was the happiest day in my life. Even if she told me that she was pregnant, I would still be willing to marry her. I know that if she was not pregnant , I had no chance at all. When she encountered difficulties, it was my honor that she thought of me for the first time. She is a gift from God."
Lu Yao was burned by his hot gaze and turned her face away unnaturally.
How much does he love his mother to humble himself to this extent?
"Yao Yao, I want to live a good life with your mother. Even if she doesn't want to let me touch her, it doesn't matter. As long as she is by my side, believe it or not, I have never thought of betraying your mother. That time with Wang Caizhi , it’s really an accident.”
Lu Yao bit her lip, feeling as if her neck was being held by a pair of invisible hands.
"I know you hate me. If I hadn't given Wang Caizhi a chance, Dong Na wouldn't have died."
Lu Yao closed her eyes, and Lu Jianguo's voice came again, "If you don't recognize me as your father, I will accept it."
Lu Yao choked with difficulty, and tears rolled down her eyes.
Duan Mingjie reached out and held her in his arms, stroking her soft hair with his palms, "Cry if you want."
Lu Yao cried in a low voice, her cry was suppressed, like a wounded animal.
Dong Fufa glared at Lu Jianguo, but Lu Jianguo remained indifferent, as if the person he was glaring at was not him.
Dong Fufa walked towards Lu Yao and lowered his voice unconsciously, "Yao Yao, we didn't hide it from you on purpose. We didn't want you to think too much."
Lu Yao got up from Duan Mingjie's arms, "So you lied to me?"
"It's wrong for my father to accidentally get involved with Wang Caizhi, but I shouldn't hate him either. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
If she knew the truth, she wouldn't have such a bad attitude towards Lu Jianguo!
Lu Jianguo looked at Lu Yao tremblingly, his eyes turning red.
"I have always resented him, but now you tell me that I hate the wrong person?"
How will she get along with Lu Jianguo in the future?
Lu Jianguo said from behind, "Yao Yao, I don't blame you. You are right to blame me and hate me."
Lu Yao turned her face away, her face covered with tears, as if she had been abandoned at any time, "Dad, will you still regard me as your biological daughter in the future?"
Lu Jianguo came to Lu Yao tremblingly and held her hand, "Then will you still regard me as your biological father in the future?"
Duan Mingjie tugged on Dong Defang's sleeve and pulled him out, leaving space for the father and daughter.
There were only two of them in the room, and Lu Yao felt a little uncomfortable.
"Dad, as long as you want it, you will always be my dad."
Hearing this, Lu Jianguo burst into tears, and the large teardrops hit the ground.
"If I didn't want to, I wouldn't have promised you to stay with me in the first place."
After saying this, Lu Yao hugged Lu Jianguo and cried loudly.
