After I left home with a broken heart, my whole family begged me to come back

Chapter 118 The Legendary Bastard

Although it was still not easy to call out the words "Mom and Dad", Xie Chen diligently served food to the two of them at the dinner table, and his attitude was very different from before.

Xie Huaishan and Mu Wanting saw it and felt warm in their hearts.

"This month, I have been working hard to develop the market in Shanghai. When you go to Shanghai to attend university, your mother and I will slowly shift our focus there..." Xie Huaishan said softly while looking at Xie Chen.

"We have missed out on the first eighteen years of your life, but we will not miss out on the rest of your life." Xie Huaishan felt guilty as he picked up a piece of food for Xie Chen. "It's embarrassing to say that as your parents, we don't know what you like to eat and what you don't like to eat."

"I'm not picky about food." Xie Chen replied softly.

Whether it was the fifteen years of abuse by his adoptive father or the three years of being ignored after returning to Xie Ming's home, Xie Chen's life had never been happy, so being able to eat enough was the greatest happiness for him, and he would never be picky about food.

Xie Huaishan seemed to have guessed this as well, and the guilt on his face became even more intense.

If he had been more careful at the beginning, he would not have let the villain take advantage of the opportunity and let Xie Chen suffer so many years of injustice.

"Achen, I'm sorry." Xie Huaishan's voice trembled slightly.

"Don't say sorry anymore, it's never your fault." Xie Chen sighed in his heart, "Dad, I have never blamed you."

The word "Dad" instantly moved Xie Huaishan. He was in his fifties, but he actually cried.

Mu Wanting's eyes were also a little red, and she took out a tissue to wipe her eyes.

"Mom, I know how hard you've worked over the years." Xie Chen added, "From now on, leave everything at home to me!"

Mu Wanting nodded with red eyes, "Okay."

During this meal, Mu Wanting and Xie Huaishan kept helping Xie Chen pick up food, and Xie Chen couldn't eat enough.

On the side, Lu Yuanyuan smiled as she watched Xie Chen let go of the past and his relationship with Xie Huaishan improve.

……

Xie Chen is going to Shanghai to study at university, so Xie Huaishan and Mu Wanting must personally send Xie Chen there.

Before Xie Chen reported to school, Xie Yuan called Xie Huaishan and asked Xie Chen to get together with his family, but Xie Huaishan refused.

Xie Chen’s family only consists of him and Mu Wanting.

As for Xie Yuan, Xie Ming and the daughters of the Xie family, they are not considered Xie Chen’s relatives at all.

Because he needed to go to the university in advance to familiarize himself with the environment, Xie Huaishan drove Xie Chen to Shanghai three days in advance.

It takes more than 20 hours to drive from Jingzhou to Shanghai, but Xie Huaishan did not agree with Xie Chen's suggestion to fly to school by himself.

Even though it would be tiring to drive for more than 20 hours, Xie Huaishan felt it was worth it as long as he could spend more time with Xie Chen.

Along the way, Xie Huaishan rested six times. When he got out of the car at the entrance of a five-star hotel in Shanghai, his legs were shaking.

"Let's find a hotel to stay for the night." Xie Huaishan said, "It's not even time for school to start yet, and there's no one welcoming the new students at the university yet. Someone should be in charge of picking up the new students tomorrow."

Xie Chen had no objection at all to Xie Huaishan's arrangement.

It's a good opportunity to familiarize myself with the Shanghai environment in advance and prepare for the next four years of university life.

Because he had to go to school the next day, Xie Chen only took his important things and a set of spare clothes with him, and put the rest of the luggage in the trunk.

The five-star hotel that Xie Huaishan booked is the best hotel in Shanghai and has a great environment.

As Xie Chen, carrying his backpack, followed Xie Huaishan and Mu Wanting into the hotel lobby, he saw Lu Yuanyuan sitting in the VIP waiting area of ​​the lobby.

When Lu Yuanyuan saw Xie Chen, her eyes lit up and she stood up and went to greet him.

"Xie Chen, you're finally here!" Lu Yuanyuan's voice was filled with joy. "I've ordered dinner. You can put your things in the room. Then we'll go out to eat and come back to rest early. Tomorrow morning, we'll report to school."

Originally, she wanted to fly here with Xie Chen. But Xie Huaishan wanted to send Xie Chen off personally, and Lu Tingfeng was worried about her reporting alone, so they disagreed with the two of them flying together.

We could only send each other off and then meet up at the hotel.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xie Chen nodded slightly to Lu Yuanyuan to express his gratitude.

Lu Yuanyuan grinned, "It's not hard work, it's just ordering dinner."

The hotel they stayed in actually provided dinner, but Lu Yuanyuan didn't want to eat in the hotel.

As she had just arrived, she wanted to go out and see the world.

Although she was eighteen years old, she had dedicated the first eighteen years of her life to school and books. In order to be able to get into the same school as Xie Chen in the college entrance examination, she canceled all travel plans and all entertainment activities.

Xie Huaishan and Mu Wanting watched Lu Yuanyuan and Xie Chen interacting intimately. They exchanged glances and smiled knowingly.

"Then wait here for a while, we'll go put the luggage away." Xie Chen smiled at Lu Yuanyuan, "I'll be right back."

Lu Yuanyuan hummed, "I'll wait for you."

After Lu Tingfeng put his luggage away and went downstairs, he saw his sister exchanging glances with Xie Chen, so he quickly took two steps forward and walked up to the two of them.

Xie Chen greeted Lu Tingfeng, and under Lu Tingfeng's resentful gaze, he went to the front desk with Xie Huaishan and Mu Wanting to get the room card for the booked room and went upstairs.

……

Lu Yuanyuan booked a table at a private restaurant because it was the beginning of the school year and the restaurant was packed.

Fortunately, Lu Yuanyuan acted early and booked a private room.

When Xie Chen, Xie Huaishan, and Mu Wanting followed Lu Yuanyuan into the private room, there were already two people sitting inside.

Xie Chen knew one of them.

It was the man named Chang whom Xie Chen had met before at the gate of the Lu family.

Next to the person with the surname Chang, there is a younger version of the person with the surname Chang.

Xie Chen's brows suddenly frowned.

Last time at the gate of Lu’s house, this guy named Chang mentioned his little bastard.

Now it seems that this young version of Chang should be the bastard of the old Chang family.

"Brother, why are they here?" Lu Yuanyuan was a little unhappy, and his face fell in front of the Chang family father and son.

Lu Tingfeng smiled and said, "Uncle Chang heard that you were coming to Shanghai to study at university, so he brought Chang Qing to welcome you."

Lu Yuanyuan curled her lips in disdain and muttered in a low voice, "Who needs him to welcome me?"

Lu Tingfeng looked slightly
Although Lu Yuanyuan's voice was not loud, Chang's father and son still heard it.

Although Chang Ning felt embarrassed, his age was there after all, and he couldn't argue with Lu Yuanyuan, a child who was just eighteen years old.

But Chang Qing is different. He has known for a long time that his father wants to match him up with Lu Yuanyuan.

But now, looking at Lu Yuanyuan's attitude, it is obvious that she has no good feelings towards him.

Although Chang Qing is not very old, he is also an old hand at playing games. Lu Yuanyuan and Xie Chen walked in together, talking and laughing. Anyone with eyes wide open could tell that there was something fishy going on between these two.

The eldest daughter of the Lu family really doesn't take the Chang family seriously at all...
