Could Dong Defang not know that Lu Yao needed him?
But he couldn't do it.
He knew that Zheng Weiguo was not at fault, Zheng Weiguo was also a victim, but it was his only sister who was hurt.
"Uncle, I know you are sad. It's not worth it for you to take my mother-in-law's place, but I want to know, has my mother-in-law ever regretted being with Uncle Zheng?"
One sentence touched Dong Defang's sore spot.
Thinking of the two letters that the eldest sister left for Zheng Weiguo and Yaoyao, Dong Defang felt very distressed.
"Uncle, you turned around and left. Yaoyao was so frightened that she wanted to get out of bed to look for you. She asked me to tell you that she didn't want to recognize Uncle Zheng. In Yaoyao's heart, your position will never be replaced by anyone. I also know that. , you are doing it for Yaoyao's good, but you shouldn't force her."
"What would my mother-in-law think if she knew that Yaoyao was forced by you to disown her?"
"Now that you're gone, can Yaoyao rest in peace and recuperate, or do you want to leave because you can't bear to see Yaoyao being bullied by the Zheng family?"
Dong Defang's expression changed.
Seeing that Dong Defang's attitude had relaxed, Duan Mingjie took the opportunity to say, "Uncle, I'll take you back first. You can take a rest and calm down, okay?"
Dong Defang stretched out his hand towards him, "Give me the key and I'll go back by myself. You can take care of her here."
Duan Mingjie breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Dong Defang, "Uncle, wait a moment. I'll tell Yaoyao and I'll take you back."
Duan Mingjie came back soon, sent Dong Defang home, cooked again, and took the meal to the hospital.
Lu Yao looked at him eagerly, "Has uncle calmed down?"
Duan Mingjie served him a bowl of porridge, "Uncle just can't accept it for a while, and he won't be really angry with you. If he is really angry, he won't live at home."
Lu Yao bit her lower lip in self-blame, "Uncle must blame me for having no conscience. I'm sorry for my mother."
"Yao Yao, you haven't sorry to anyone. If your mother-in-law finds out, she won't blame you, and neither will your uncle."
Lu Yao was speechless and had no appetite. She was full after eating a little. Duan Mingjie didn't force her. He packed up and lay on the hospital bed with her. He said softly, "Daughter-in-law, I know it's hard for you to accept it for a while. Don't force yourself." Recognize him, don’t force yourself to deny him, follow your own will, as long as you are happy.”
"I know he has his own reasons, but I can't forgive him."
Duan Mingjie: "Then don't forgive him."
"Duan Mingjie, I'm so confused. I don't know what to do?"
She knew that it was not easy for Zheng Weiguo after so many years. He was also trying hard to find their mother and daughter. She could better understand the depth of his feelings for them.
Otherwise, as a principled person like him, he would never have tolerated Dong Niannian for so long.
"Then don't think about anything, let yourself go, and do what you want to do. Just know that everyone loves you."
Whether it was him, Dong Defeng, Lu Jianguo and Zheng Weiguo, they all loved her.
"Daughter-in-law, you are not loved by no one, and your biological father did not abandon you on purpose. It is enough to know this."
He knew that his wife didn't say anything, but in her heart she was very concerned about being abandoned by her biological father.
Lu Yao sniffed, "I want to sleep."
Duan Mingjie patted her gently, "Go to sleep, I'll always be here."
At around ten o'clock, Duan Mingjie went to the toilet and found Zheng Weiguo standing at the door.
"Uncle Zheng?"
Zheng Weiguo looked inside and asked softly, "Is Yaoyao asleep?"
Duan Mingjie hummed, "Uncle Zheng, when did you come?"
"Not long."
In fact, I have been standing here for more than an hour.
Duan Mingjie gently opened the door and said, "Go in, she is asleep."
Zheng Weiguo saw Duan Mingjie's attitude, "Thank you."
Duan Mingjie smiled and said, "You're welcome."
As long as Yaoyao hates Zheng Weiguo, he will not let Zheng Weiguo in.
Now Yaoyao is more confused.
Zheng Weiguo walked in quietly and stood in front of the bed looking at her.
Yaoyao was still frowning after falling asleep.
She must have been terrified today.
Suddenly, Lu Yao moved, and the blood all over Zheng Weiguo's body froze instantly.
Zheng Weiguo turned around subconsciously, left the ward, and faced Duan Mingjie face to face.
Duan Mingjie: "Uncle Zheng, why did you come out?"
Zheng Weiguo: "Yao Yao may be waking up. She may not want to see me now. I don't want to embarrass her."
Duan Mingjie looked at him and asked, "Uncle Zheng, have you decided how to deal with Dong Niannian?"
Mentioning Dong Niannian, Zheng Weiguo sneered, "I won't spare her!"
Duan Mingjie nodded, "With your words, I feel relieved."
After all, Dong Niannian had saved Zheng Weiguo several times, and he was worried that Zheng Weiguo would be merciful.
Zheng Weiguo looked at Duan Mingjie and said, "Don't worry about this anymore. I will give Yaoyao an explanation. You can take good care of her here."
Duan Mingjie said hello, and then asked, "Uncle Zheng, last time Dong Niannian was arrested, did you find out anything?"
"Why are you asking about this suddenly?"
Duan Mingjie: "Yesterday, there was a group of people secretly protecting us. I thought it was arranged by my uncle, but my uncle said he didn't arrange anyone, so I wondered if the group of people yesterday were the same people who kidnapped Dong Niannian."
When Duan Mingjie said this, Zheng Weiguo also took it seriously and told Duan Mingjie his guess.
Duan Mingjie frowned, "You mean, people from the military?"
Zheng Weiguo: "I'm just guessing, because the technique was too clean and left no trace. For this reason, I went to the special operations force, but their brigade commander went to the hospital to see his comrades."
Duan Mingjie fell into deep thought. He thought of the jeep that those people drove over last night, and became more and more sure of Zheng Weiguo's guess.
"Thank you, Uncle Zheng. Please go back first. I will take good care of Yaoyao."
Duan Mingjie entered the ward and found that Lu Yao was awake. He quickly walked over and asked, "When did you wake up?"
Lu Yao looked in the direction of the door and said without interest, "When he left."
Duan Mingjie knew who he was without even thinking about it.
Duan Mingjie took her hand and squeezed it gently, "Why didn't you call him?"
Lu Yao shook her head, "I don't know how to face him or what to say to him."
Lu Yao felt it was very poignant when she heard Zheng Weiguo tell the story about him and his wife, but now, her mood is different.
Duan Mingjie went to bed and hugged him, "It's okay, take your time."
Lu Yao hummed softly.
After learning that Lu Yao was injured, Dong Niannian had been uneasy and she didn't sleep all night.
She had a bad premonition in her heart, and this premonition was very strong.
Zheng Baoguo must have done this, so what will she do next?
With a bang, the bedroom door was kicked open.
She was so frightened that she had something in her heart. She turned around subconsciously and met Zheng Weiguo's fierce gaze.
