Chapter 657: Chapter 658: Welcome Home
In the living room, Yunrou wiped her tears, "Ah Zhan, Tianming, tell me, is it that our daughter doesnât want to acknowledge us!"
Chu Tianming embraced Yunrou, "Ah, itâs also our fault, how did we really think back then that our daughter was gone, even saying father was senile, but the truly senile ones were always us. Itâs only right for her to feel wronged!"
Chu Zhan said earnestly, "Mom, Dad, since weâve found our sister, whether or not she acknowledges us, we must make up for everything we owe her!"
Chu Tianming and Yunrou nodded; of course, thatâs their real daughter. They missed out on eighteen years of being her parents, and now that sheâs back, they must compensate properly to ease some of the guilt in their hearts.
They knew that Nianyang grew up in the countryside, and with such poor conditions there, she must have suffered a lot. In the future, they were determined to give Nianyang all the happiness she deserves.
The Li Family stood aside, not knowing what to say. Although they were happy that Nianyangâs family was the Chu Family, they wouldnât make any assumptions. Everything depended on Nianyangâs decision. Once she acknowledges the Chu Family, they could begin discussing matters between the two families.
"Yangyang, youâve come out."
Shang Wan, with keen eyes, saw Li Tingyan holding Nianyangâs hand as they walked over and quickly went forward eagerly to inquire about their well-being.
The three from the Chu Family exchanged glances, eagerly stepping forward. They noticed that Nianyangâs gaze wasnât as apprehensive as before, but now they were the ones feeling anxious.
Chu Zhan spoke first, "Sis... Nian girl, if you donât want to acknowledge us for the time being and need some time to adjust, we wonât pressure you."
Yunrou said, "Yes, Yangyang, I know itâs our neglect that made us lose you and caused you to suffer, and we havenât cared for you all these years. We really donât deserve to be your family. You must resent us in your heart, but could you please give us a chance to make amends and compensate you?"
Chu Tianming, not being good with words, could only share the same expectant look with his wife and son, gazing at the girl in front of them.
Facing the sincere gazes of the three from the Chu Family, Nianyang felt deeply moved. She turned her head to look at Li Tingyan, and under his encouragement, she slowly spoke, "I donât blame you all. I just lack experience in interacting with family. Actually, Iâm very happy to know I can have such good family like you."
Hearing this, Chu Zhan was taken aback, "Sister, are... are you accepting us then?"
Yunrou was so thrilled she couldnât help but grasp Nianyangâs hand, "Yangyang, you really donât blame us, itâs all our fault. Why didnât we look for you back then and instead found a counterfeit to replace you, which almost hurt you... Iâm, Iâm so sorry to you."
Nianyang shook her head, "Thatâs all in the past. I know you had your difficulties, and you made that choice to protect me. No one could have known that bad people would interfere. Maybe if it werenât for that, I might have already been gone."
Chu Tianming couldnât hide his excitement and asked, "Then, can you call us Mom and Dad? We really welcome and look forward to you coming home, can you?"
For the first time in his life, Chu Tianming, a man of high status, spoke in such a cautious and even pleading tone. He was also afraidâafraid that Nianyang was just being polite and didnât actually want to acknowledge them.
