He looked me up and down, nodded and said, "I am Mr. An, where am I?"
I took a long breath, and then said to him calmly: "Come with me."
I led him towards our seat, and at the same time I was beating the drum in my heart. I didn't know how he would react when he saw these two children later.
He didn't recognize Shu Ya and Shu Zhi at all, so much so that he didn't even look at the two siblings as they passed by.
I stopped and called to him: "Mr. Shu, you have passed."
He stopped, looked back at me and said, "I didn't see Mr. An?"
"Here." I pointed at Shu Ya and Shu Zhi and said.
He stared at the two children for a moment, and I thought he recognized them, but the next moment he frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
I smiled and said to him: "Sit down first. Mr. Shu, I want to ask you a question."
He still looked at me with a strange expression on his face. I looked at him calmly and said, "Did your name used to be Shu Dayong?"
His expression gradually became stiff, and then he mechanically turned his head to look at the two brothers and sisters next to him, as if he had remembered something.
The two brothers Shu Ya and Shu Zhi didn't call him, they just looked at him eagerly.
I don't know how shocked he was at this moment. Anyway, I was quite calm and said to him: "Mr. Shu, I don't mean anything else. These two children have come all the way to see you. Let's sit down and chat for a while."
"Who are you?" he finally asked me, looking very surprised.
"Don't worry about who I am, just sit down and chat for a while." With that, I sat down next to Shu Ya and Shu Zhi, two brothers and sisters.
He stood there stunned for a while and then said: "I'm very busy and don't have time to chat with you here."
After he finished speaking, he was about to leave. I immediately called him and said, "Shu Dayong, why don't you dare to recognize your own child if you have the ability?"
He stopped, looked back at me and said, "What my child? I don't know what you are talking about?"
"You may not understand, but do you want to listen to your child?"
Seeing that he didn't speak, I glanced at Shu Zhi.
Shu Zhi then said: "Mom passed away. Before she died, she told us that dad was in Shanghai and asked us to come here to find him."
Shu Dayong was stunned, but he didn't say a word and turned around to leave.
I said again: "You can leave, but don't worry, I will help the two children find a lawyer. I must make this matter clear."
After hearing what I said, he finally stopped, walked back, and finally sat down opposite me.
He stared at me with cold eyes, lowered his voice and said, "Listen, their mother and I have divorced a long time ago, and we no longer have any relationship."
"You divorced their mother and have nothing to do with the two children. Now they only have you as their only relative. You just say you don't care about it, right?"
He looked at the two brothers Shu Ya and Shu Zhi, took a deep breath, and said to me: "How much money do you want, I will give it to you now, but please take them out of Shanghai."
"Money?" I sneered, "Do you think it's that simple?"
"Then what do you want? I've told you that I have divorced their mother and it has nothing to do with them."
"Then do you admit that you are their father?"
He was silent, and I added: "Is this an unchangeable fact? Their mother never came to see you when she was alive, right? But now that the two children have no relatives, do you really have the heart to drive them away?"
He seemed a little broken and said angrily: "But the problem is, I have a family now, and it is impossible for my current family to accept the fact that I have two children."
"so what?"
"So I give you a sum of money, one million, and you take them away."
Judging from his tone, he seems to be doing well now!
In fact, it can be seen from his clothes that this suit is customized by Armani, costing at least 100,000 or 200,000 yuan.
And the watch on his hand is also a Rolex, worth at least one to two million.
I sneered again and said: "Shu Dayong, please clarify the situation. I am not a relative of these two children. I just met them on the way to Shanghai and heard about them, so I decided to help them find their father.
What do you mean by handing them over to me?"
"Two million! I'll give you two million, and you can take them out of Shanghai, okay?"
I am silent.
He was silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and said: "The price is three million, you can't be too aggressive. Three million is enough to support them until they grow up."
I glanced at Shu Ya and Shu Zhi. They still had no expression. They didn't have that kind of excitement at all. They were more confused.
In fact, I had already guessed the outcome on the way here. I giggled twice and said, "So, no matter what, you won't recognize these two children. Is that what you mean?"
Shu Dayong took off his glasses and said a little irritably: "I say it again, it's not that I don't want to take care of it, but after so many years, I now have a new family, and my family does not allow me to have two children. I hope
you understand."
I answered: "I also hope you understand that I am not one of these two children. Just tell me how to deal with this matter!"
"As I said just now, I will give you three million and you take these two children and leave."
I took a deep breath and looked at the two children again. They both looked at me with innocent eyes.
I saw despair in their eyes, their despair for this man, their despair for this world.
I think they don’t want to recognize this father either!
Finally, I said to Shu Dayong: "In this case, you take us to your home and take a look. If it is really as you said, then I will accept your suggestion."
"Aren't you just messing with me?"
"Don't worry, I won't say that these two children are yours. I will say that they are my children. I am a friend from your hometown who came to Shanghai to play."
He hesitated for a moment and finally said to me: "Yes, but you promise me you will never tell the truth."
I turned around and looked at the two children again, and then said to Shu Dayong: "Okay, I promise you."
So we followed Shu Dayong, got in his car, and went all the way to where he lived.
In the car, the two children remained silent.
But Shu Dayong took the initiative to ask the two children: "How long has your mother passed away?"
Shu Zhi replied: "It's been a month."
"Oh, what disease did she die of?"
"The doctor said it was some kind of cancer, and our family doesn't have money for treatment." Shu Zhi said with tears in his eyes.
Shu Dayong was silent for a while and then asked: "I remember, don't you still have grandma here?"
"He died too."
"So it's just you two siblings now?"
"Yes."
Shu Dayong sighed. I don't know if his conscience will find out, but as a man, I can feel that he feels very embarrassed at this moment.
But if this kind of thing happened to me, I would tell the truth to my current wife no matter what. I believe that if his wife is a good person, she will definitely understand.
Half an hour later we arrived at the place where they lived, and it turned out to be Tomson Yipin.
You must know that this is a place like Shanghai where land is at a premium, and a community like Tomson Yipin is not affordable for ordinary people.
In fact, from the moment I saw him in the restaurant, I knew that he was very rich now, and it was no surprise that he lived in this community.
After the car drove into the parking garage of the community, he took us upstairs. In the elevator, he reminded me not to talk nonsense.
His family lived on the seventeenth floor, so I followed him with my two children to the door of his house.
When he pressed the password, he hesitated for a while, then turned to me and said: "I have a child at home who is only five or six years old. You must not talk nonsense, please!"
