Chapter 689 - 695: This is really too corrupting!
Li Li’s crying grew louder, and Chu Lianghua looked on, feeling heartbroken.
He couldn’t say anything to hold back anymore.
Frowning, he patted Li Li’s shoulder and softened his voice, "Alright, why are you crying? It’s all my fault... After we eat, I’ll go find Third Uncle. His son got promoted in the police force, he should be able to help."
Hearing there might be hope, Li Li quickly wiped her tears and looked at Chu Lianghua, "Really? Then hurry up and eat, and go right after. How much of a gift should we send this time? I still have some of my retirement money left. I’ll go to the bank and withdraw it for you to take..."
Chu Lianghua nodded, his eyes growing more bitter.
His wife had contributed so much to this family over the years. Now, was he going to drain even her last bit of retirement money?
It wasn’t that he didn’t regret chasing his daughter away in such a hasty and impulsive manner; it’s just... what’s done is done, and there’s no room for regret.
While the couple was discussing and about to eat, the doorbell rang.
Li Li glanced at the door, muttering, "Who could be coming over at this time?"
Ever since Chu Xiaoge ran away from home, the couple had asked many people for help finding their daughter. As time went on, friends and family started avoiding them.
Firstly, they were afraid of being asked for connections, and secondly, afraid of being asked for money.
By now, the old couple hardly had any relatives left to visit. So who could it be at this time?
Full of confusion, Li Li got up to open the door.
The moment the door opened, standing before Li Li was none other than the daughter she had longed day and night to see...
"Xiao Ge..." Li Li’s eyes filled with tears as she looked at her daughter in disbelief.
Seeing her mother, Chu Xiaoge’s eyes also reddened.
"Mom..." she called out, then lowered her head to look at her daughter and taught her, "Chuchu, call her grandma."
"Grandma!" Chuchu called out sweetly and loudly, then asked, "Where’s grandpa?"
At that, Li Li was stunned.
Her gaze shifted downwards, only then did she notice that Chu Xiaoge was holding a little girl’s hand.
The little girl had rosy lips, white teeth, a cute doll-like face, and wore two pigtails, exuding an irrepressible liveliness!
And this little girl called her grandma?
So... this was Xiao Ge’s daughter?
When Xiao Ge left, she was pregnant. Considering the time, if the child had been born, she would be about this age now.
Li Li stood frozen in place, completely at a loss for words.
Behind her, Chu Lianghua had already heard the commotion. He walked over quickly and saw Chu Xiaoge holding a little girl’s hand.
Chu Lianghua didn’t care at all whether the little girl was cute or not, he only knew that his unfilial daughter had secretly given birth!
And raised her till now, bringing her back home?
This was too disgraceful!
Chuchu saw Chu Lianghua walk out, tilted her little head, and instinctively called out crisply, "Grandpa!"
Chu Lianghua trembled all over, and after a moment of blankness, he roared, "Who’s your grandpa? Little kids shouldn’t call people randomly!"
"..." Chuchu was startled, quickly hiding behind her mom.
Grandpa was so fierce...
Before bringing Chuchu here, Chu Xiaoge held onto the hope that after so many years, her father’s anger would have subsided... Now it seemed that things were not going as she had hoped.
"Dad, this is Chuchu, your granddaughter." Chu Xiaoge held Chuchu’s hand, gritting her teeth as she reintroduced her to her father.
