I was not in a position to interrupt, and I waited for them to finish their discussion and tell me the result.

Cheng Ruojun's father looked at him and said, "Then is it appropriate for an illegitimate child to appear in my senior year? You can say that you made a child before you were married. If I knew him, it would be because of what happened after we were married. "

It looks like Father Cheng Ruojun is determined to give Xia Ze to us. When I think about how I looked when I was with Xia Ze, I feel ashamed and ashamed.

"Daddy …" Just as I was thinking about this, I suddenly heard Xia Ze speaking.

I looked up at Xia Ze, and coincidentally, his gaze also landed on me. Just as our eyes made contact, I suddenly froze, I felt that there was something in his eyes, but I couldn't grab hold of it. In the next second, he started laughing, smiling amiably, like any other boy his age.

"Daddy …" Xia Ze's eyes and mine shifted away the moment they made contact, and he shifted his gaze towards Cheng Ruojun's father, "I …" His eyes were troubled.

So it turned out that he wasn't called Cheng Ruojun just now.

Cheng Ruojun's father noticed the look in Xia Ze's eyes. He patted Xia Ze's shoulder and said, "It's alright, this child has suffered a lot."

Xia Ze laughed as he shook his head, "Grandmother is very good to me." He choked as he said this, his eyes shining as if tears were about to come to his eyes.

"Poor child." Du Lirong suddenly interrupted, "How did your grandmother die?"

Xia Ze paused for a while before saying, "Sick."

"How did your mother die?" Du Lirong asked again. Her tone was full of concern, as if she was only sympathizing with Xia Ze.

"An accident." Xia Ze said calmly, as if he was only an insignificant person.

"Ruo Ruo, take Xia Ze away today." Cheng Ruojun's father said, "Wait until we have passed the limelight before giving a banquet."

Cheng Ruojun looked at Du Lirong and nodded, I knew that he was angry, after being tortured by him for a period of time, I was able to sense the subtle changes in his emotions.

My hands were gripping my fork tightly, and I could feel my hands trembling because I was afraid that I wouldn't even think about Xia Ze anymore.

"No need, Daddy." Xia Ze said, "I know my identity." He lowered his head slightly and said, "Actually, I didn't intend to come back to find you, but I don't have any relatives in this world other than you. My grandma said that you are a good person and was forced to do so."

Xia Ze said these words with sincerity, and pity even rose in my heart.

I suddenly thought back to what Cheng Ya had told me before, that Xia Ze had to work dozens of hours a day.

After dinner, the atmosphere was very good. I stayed silent, but I always felt that these happiness were all floating on the surface. What kind of storm was hidden under this calm sea?

After dinner, Cheng Ruojun, Xia Ze and I will leave together with Xia Ze. This is the first time Father Cheng Ruojun is sending us off at the door.

Cheng Ruojun was in charge of driving, while I sat beside him. Xia Ze sat in the back of the car which was very quiet, I couldn't talk to Xia Ze, I couldn't act too close to him.

"Cheng Ze, you're about to graduate, right? What are your plans after graduation?" Cheng Ruojun suddenly said.

Xia Ze looked at Cheng Ruojun and said, "I have not thought about it yet, I had planned to go to work right after graduation."

Cheng Ruojun glanced at Xia Ze through the mirror and said, "Just treat my house like your own."

"Thank you." Xia Ze replied.

Other than the fact that Cheng Ruojun regained his normal look after losing control over the dining table just a moment ago, I don't know what he's thinking about as I don't understand him any more.

"Mr. Cheng, Jiang Rou, you two are back." Sister Guo stood at the door and welcomed us. She had a very respectful expression, when she saw Xia Ze following behind us, she paused for a moment and did not say anything.

"What did you call Xiao Rou just now?" Cheng Ruojun suddenly said, his tone was light, but I knew that he was suppressing his anger, I did not understand why he would ask that.

The house was silent. No one spoke. No one knew what to say.

"I'm asking you." Cheng Ruojun looked at Sister Guo, who took a step back in fear.

"Jiang Rou..." Sister Guo stammered.

"Is that what you should call it?" Cheng Ruojun's lips curved into a smile, and said, "I don't understand why you only call me Mr. Cheng, but not her. If you really mind about being inferior, then why didn't you call us by our names, and instead use Jiang Rou's name?"

Sister Guo quickly glanced at Cheng Ruojun. He couldn't utter a single word.

I understand that Cheng Ruojun had suffered at home, so I intentionally found someone to vent my anger, and the Sister Guo coincidentally bumped into me.

"I'm sorry." Sister Guo immediately admitted her mistake.

"Yes." Cheng Ruojun nodded and said with a smile, "This is Cheng Ze, from today onwards, he is my son."

Sister Guo was stunned when she heard Cheng Ruojun's words.

Cheng Ruojun looked at the Sister Guo and frowned, saying, "What are you blanking out for?" He then turned around and smiled at us. "Cheng Ze, I will take you to where you are staying."

His smile was gentle, but there was a certain coldness in it. I wanted to stay away from him, but I couldn't.

Cheng Ruojun opened the door to a bedroom that was not far from our bedroom and said, "From now on, you can stay here. If you need anything, you can find me or your mother."

I'm not used to being called Mom.

"Thank you." Xia Ze replied with a smile.

"Rest early." Cheng Ruojun closed the door to his room.

At this moment, only Cheng Ruojun and I were left in the corridor, he slowly turned his head to look at me, his eyes were deep and terrifying, I wanted to retreat, I knew what was waiting for me, just at this moment, Cheng Ruojun suddenly grabbed onto my wrist, and pulled me towards the room.

His strength was so great that he almost broke my hand.
