Chapter 261 No Regrets About Having His Child
At this moment, Tan Zhengchu gently pushed open the door to the room.
He saw a warm and cozy scene in the room, exactly as he had imagined.
Tan Zhengchu walked over to the children and earnestly suggested, "My darlings, no matter what happens in the future, you must discuss it with Daddy, okay?"
Tan Zhengchu was deeply moved when he recalled what his sons had done for him. He felt incredibly lucky to have such sensible sons.
Da Bao lifted his head from Su Yingxue's arms, revealing a mischievous smile, and said, "Daddy, we love you."
Tan Zhengchu looked at Su Yingxue with gratitude in his eyes and said, "Yingxue, thank you for giving me such a sensible son."
Liu Bao quietly watched the warm scene of this family getting along, and a warm feeling welled up in his heart.
Although he is not good at expressing his emotions, he is actually very soft-hearted and has a deep longing for family affection.
……
Li Yumei and Xiao Hei were tied up and locked in a room.
The door slammed shut, and the room fell silent.
A hint of resentment flashed in Li Yumei's eyes. She twisted her body, her hands fumbling behind her back, trying to untie the ropes.
However, she soon discovered that the rope was tied in a very special way, the kind that prevents escape, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not untie it.
Seeing Li Yumei's futile struggle, Xiao Hei couldn't help but say, "Sister Mei, when I saw Li Yuzhu today, she still looked as beautiful as ever. Time seems to have been particularly kind to her, leaving no trace on her face at all."
Upon hearing this, a flash of hatred crossed Li Yumei's eyes. She glared fiercely at Xiao Hei and said, "Are you belittling me by comparing me to her?"
Xiao Hei sensed Li Yumei's displeasure and his heart tightened. He quickly changed his words, saying, "Sister Mei, that's not what I meant. You're very young too, no less so than her."
Li Yumei's anger didn't subside after hearing Xiao Hei's words; instead, she became even angrier.
She yelled at Xiao Hei, "You're still bringing her up! Stop dragging me into this! You better think of a solution right now, I don't want to stay in this awful room any longer!"
“Young Miss, rest assured, I will always be loyal to you,” Xiao Hei said firmly. “No matter what happens, I will do my best to help you.”
He recalled the scene when he helped Li Yumei save Tan Xiangchen. At that time, they were also in danger, but he still managed to escape from that dangerous place with Tan Xiangchen.
“However, this situation is a bit tricky.” Xiao Hei frowned. “Miss Tan Zhengchu is very capable. If we want to get out of here, we’ll probably have to come up with an unexpected way.”
He comforted Li Yumei, saying, "Don't worry, you can rest for a while and conserve your energy. I'll stay here with you and try to find a way to get you out of here."
Looking into Xiao Hei's determined eyes, Li Yumei's anger subsided slightly. She closed her eyes and began to consider what might happen next.
Meanwhile, Xiao Hei silently observed its surroundings, searching for a possible opportunity to escape.
He knew that only by finding a foolproof plan could he ensure Li Yumei's safe departure from here.
……
Li Yuzhu slowly walked into the study where Tan Xiangchen had been, her steps light and cautious.
Her gaze wandered around the study, finally settling on the paintbrush on the table. She reached out and gently picked it up, her fingers tracing the brush's surface, as if she could still feel the warmth of Tan Xiangchen's hand that had once held it.
Then, Li Yuzhu glanced at the book Tan Xiangchen had recently been reading on the table, and a look of joy instantly appeared in her eyes. At that moment, she was absolutely certain that Tan Xiangchen was still alive.
Memories flooded her mind like a tide, those painful past experiences resurfacing one by one, but at this moment, her heart seemed to beat again. She was incredibly excited, the feeling just like when she first met Tan Xiangchen, filled with anticipation and sweetness.
Li Yuzhu gently touched the book Tan Xiangchen had been reading, then slowly brought it to her nose and smelled it. A faint tobacco scent entered her nasal cavity. She knew that Tan Xiangchen smoked.
Her thoughts drifted back to the past, recalling Tan Xiangchen painting: he would take a graceful drag on his cigarette before continuing to paint, his movements fluid and effortless. And then there were the days he forced her to be a model; though somewhat helpless, looking back now, they were filled with a sense of happiness.
Li Yuzhu's gaze swept over the thousands of portraits in the study, and her heart was gradually melted.
The pain I've endured over the years seems to be disappearing little by little at this moment.
She was absolutely certain that Tan Xiangchen loved her, and had always loved her.
Li Yuzhu tilted her head slightly, her eyes shining with determination, and said softly, "I have never regretted having a child with Tan Xiangchen, nor have I regretted meeting him."
A hint of melancholy flashed in her eyes as she continued to reminisce: "Although our relationship faced many obstacles, my sister Li Yumei ruined my reputation, causing the Tan family to reject me, which led to me having a child out of wedlock and even made my parents sick."
But she quickly smiled and said firmly, "As long as I know he loves me, I'm happy with it."
That evening, Tan Zhengchu and Tan Zhengfan gently knocked on the study door. Tan Zhengchu said with concern, "Mom, how are you feeling? You should come downstairs and get something to eat."
When Li Yuzhu saw her two sons, a warm smile appeared on her face. She said, "My sons, I will definitely find your father and make our family whole again."
Tan Zhengfan frowned and asked skeptically, "Mom, it's been over twenty years, and Father hasn't come to see us. Will he really see us? Does he really love us?"
Li Yuzhu looked at Tan Zhengfan tenderly and said, "He must have his reasons, otherwise he wouldn't have done this."
Tan Zhengchu nodded and said, "I also think that Father must have had his reasons. As a father, and with a woman he deeply loves, how could he choose not to see us if he didn't have his reasons?"
Tan Zhengfan's face showed a sad expression. He said, "I feel sad when I think about everything I have suffered in the past. Because I did not have a complete family, no father's protection and no mother's love, I was bullied and framed."
Li Yuzhu said firmly, "No matter what, I will find my father who left home and make this family truly whole again."
Tan Zhengfan looked puzzled and asked, "Then why is Father hiding from us? Why doesn't he just come out and talk things out? I am truly angry and confused about everything my mother and I have endured in the past."
