Chapter 1110: Bring Chu Tianjiao Home (Two in One, Please Subscribe!!!)

“But...but..." Chu Tianjiao was still a little hesitant, or to be more precise, a little scared.

This man who was not afraid of even "God" actually showed a rare cowardly expression at this moment, because of the woman he loved deeply... He had always been a very independent-minded man who never backed down, but in front of that woman named Su Xiaoyan, he almost lost all his opinions. It was not that he was afraid of Su Xiaoyan, but he did not dare to face the love for Su Xiaoyan in his heart. He had already left that woman, so he was not qualified to love her, but he could not erase the place of the woman in his heart, so he could only hide that love that should not exist carefully and unknown to others.

Su Xiaoyan was like a dream to him. Even though they were far apart, he could still look at the woman's face and occasionally recall the dream. But once he met the woman face to face, he was at a loss. He was not worried about being insulted or reprimanded, but about being ignored by the other party and treated as an insignificant stranger. In this way, his dream would be shattered and he would not even be qualified to dream in the future.

"Uncle, are you afraid of meeting Aunt Su?" Lu Mingfei asked Chu Tianjiao in a low voice.

"It's not that I'm afraid of seeing her. In fact, I have secretly seen her many times over the years... Oh, no, not in the past seven years, but seven years ago I would secretly see her five or six times every week." Chu Tianjiao scratched the back of his head, "I don't have to be so pretentious when talking to you. After all, you have all been to my room and have seen those photos."

"I'm not afraid of seeing her, but I'm afraid of her seeing me. To be precise, I'm afraid of her reaction after seeing me." Chu Tianjiao sighed.

"How do you think Aunt Su will react when she sees you?" Lu Mingfei asked curiously.

"No... I don't know." Chu Tianjiao shook his head and whispered, "I dare not even think about it. I have never thought about the scene of meeting her again. Seven years ago, I even planned to slowly disappear from the lives of mother and son. When Chu Zihang grows up, I will leave them completely. I will not show up on my own initiative, nor will I let them find me. I will only watch them silently in a place where they can't see. I don't need happiness anymore. In fact, their happiness is my happiness. I am afraid that if I appear in front of her, her original happiness will be broken."

Lu Mingfei opened his mouth but didn't say anything, because Chu Tianjiao's worry was not unreasonable. Not to mention whether Su Xiaoyan would have any emotional fluctuations when seeing Chu Tianjiao again, Lu Tianming obviously didn't want Su Xiaoyan to meet Chu Tianjiao again. Although Lu Tianming might not say anything in order to maintain a decent image, there would be no man in this world who would be willing to let his wife's ex-husband meet his wife, let alone the one brought by his stepson.

Moreover, Chu Tianjiao has already made this choice. As an outsider, it is not appropriate for Lu Mingfei to interfere with other people's ideas. At this time, it would be inappropriate for Lu Mingfei to give any advice. The best thing to do is to respect Chu Tianjiao's decision.

"Happiness is not something that can be easily broken." Chu Zihang suddenly spoke up. He looked at Chu Tianjiao and shook his head. "If your life will be different just by meeting your ex-lover, then such happiness cannot be considered true happiness, because it is inherently fragile and will be broken one day. Even if it is not broken today, it will be broken tomorrow or the day after tomorrow because of something else. If you want your mother to be truly happy, you should not be afraid to see her."

“This…” Chu Tianjiao, who was eloquent, had no way to refute Chu Zihang’s words, but his expression still showed hesitation. “To be honest, besides this, I am afraid of other things.”

“What I’m afraid of is not that your mother will point her finger at me and scold me when we meet, nor that she will tell me to get lost as soon as we meet, nor that she will ask me where I have been all these years and why I left you guys behind. What I’m most afraid of is that she will completely ignore me.” Chu Tianjiao took a deep breath and said with a dim look in his eyes, “Even if I’m in front of her, I can’t make her have the slightest emotional fluctuation. It’s as if she doesn’t remember me at all, and our previous feelings and memories seem to not exist. This is what I can’t accept.”

Chu Tianjiao's voice was even trembling slightly when he said this. Seeing the sad expression on Chu Tianjiao's face, Lu Mingfei finally understood at this moment that Chu Tianjiao had just lied to him... He said that he didn't dare to think about Su Xiaoyan's reaction when he met her. Maybe he was really scared, but how could he not have thought about it? After all, that was the person he had loved deeply before and even until now. No matter how he shrank back, no matter how scared he was, he must have repeatedly replayed the scene of reuniting with Su Xiaoyan in his mind thousands of times. He had made the best assumptions, and he must have made the worst assumptions.

For Chu Tianjiao, the worst outcome is that Su Xiaoyan treats him as a stranger, which is a result he cannot accept, so he has been avoiding Su Xiaoyan all these years and never takes the initiative to appear in front of her, because he is avoiding... As long as he does not appear in front of Su Xiaoyan, the worst outcome will never happen. He can continue to live in his memories, guarding the peace and joy of the mother and son and his only remaining thoughts, and spend the rest of his long life.

"If you're afraid, you won't do it?" Chu Zihang suddenly asked Chu Tianjiao.

Chu Tianjiao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously, he felt that this sentence sounded a little familiar.

"This is what you said to me when I was a child. I didn't understand it when I was a child, but now I understand it." Chu Zihang paused, looked into Chu Tianjiao's eyes, and said softly, "On the rainy night when I separated from you, I understood it."

Seeing Chu Zihang's eyes, Chu Tianjiao was stunned.

“After leaving Nibelung that night, there hasn’t been a day that I haven’t thought about it, and there hasn’t been a day that I haven’t regretted it, because I was scared at the time, so I lost something important to me.” Chu Zihang said to Chu Tianjiao in a serious tone, “I think about it every night, if I had chosen to face it instead of running away, would I be more satisfied even if I died there? At that time, I understood that remorse and regret are more terrible than fear. Facing the thing you fear will only last for a moment, but remorse and regret are likely to last throughout your life.”

Chu Tianjiao's lips trembled slightly, but he had no way to refute what Chu Zihang said.

"You can escape for a while, or you can escape for a lifetime, but do you think you won't regret it?" Chu Zihang asked Chu Tianjiao, "Mom has started a new life many years ago, but you haven't. You have always lived in your own memories. I know you love Mom very much, so you think about her and never contact her or show up in front of her. You think this is the best way, so she doesn't have to worry, and you don't have to worry about the worst outcome."

"But have you really thought about yourself?"

Chu Zihang asked suddenly, and Chu Tianjiao's body trembled twice. "But even if you really appear in front of your mother, what is she worried about? If she still loves you, seeing you should be what she always wants to do. If she doesn't love you anymore, why would she be worried about it?" Chu Zihang said expressionlessly, "The one who is really worried is actually you. If you never see your mother again in your life, will you really not regret it? You only live on a few memories and thoughts because you are afraid of the result. Even if the result is not satisfactory, is this yearning that will never have a result really better than the worst result?"

Chu Tianjiao's expression was completely stunned, he never thought that Chu Zihang would say such words to him... Such a head-on blow revealed all the concerns and fig leaves in his heart, but Chu Tianjiao did not feel ashamed or embarrassed. On the contrary, because of Chu Zihang's words, his state of mind was undergoing a huge change.

"And let's take a step back. Your meeting with mom doesn't mean you will reconcile. Just meeting doesn't mean you have any fundamental conflicts. It doesn't mean that you two, who were once lovers, must become enemies who will never see each other again. I don't think mom would think so." Chu Zihang paused. "Other people may mind it a little, but if this incident affects his future relationship with mom, it only proves that their relationship was fragile to begin with."

"I... understand." Chu Tianjiao was silent for a long time and then sighed. He compromised and said, "You have really grown up and are more sensible than I thought. You are right, I thought too much, because my feelings for your mother and my thoughts are disturbed. It's just a meeting, it shouldn't be a big deal. Even if your mother treats me as a stranger, so what? We don't have a relationship now, as long as she can live well, for me, is there any worse ending?"

"It won't be that bad." Chu Zihang said softly to Chu Tianjiao, "Although many people say that mom is heartless, she actually has her own ideas. She is not such an unfeeling person. If she really didn't care about you at all, she wouldn't have scolded you every day when she divorced you."

"You scold me every day..." This was something Chu Tianjiao didn't know, but it should have been expected. In everyone's eyes, it was he who abandoned Chu Zihang and his son. Such an irresponsible man should be scolded and severely despised.

But Chu Tianjiao was not upset at all when he knew this. On the contrary, he was even a little excited deep down in his heart, because just like Chu Zihang said, Su Xiaoyan scolded him because she cared about him. Who would waste time and words scolding someone they don’t care about at all?
Only when the feelings are deep enough will love turn into hate... What's more, you scold him every day, how much do you care about him?
In fact, most of the time men are just such a little mean creatures, just like the boys in middle school, who enjoy bullying the girls they like. Seeing the girls getting frustrated or even angry because of them, they feel satisfied inside even if they are beaten and scolded... They probably think that you can make a person have such big emotional ups and downs, and only you have such ability, how important you must be in her heart!
"There's only one last question." Chu Tianjiao took a deep breath, "I'm mentally prepared, but what position should I take?"

Chu Tianjiao looked around at the group of people around him. They were all Chu Zihang's friends, or his juniors. He was the only adult in this group of people. He was surrounded by a group of young, handsome men and beautiful women. When walking on the street, Chu Tianjiao felt a little unnatural facing the gazes of passers-by.

"As my father." Chu Zihang replied.

“I know, but isn’t it even more strange considering your father’s identity?” Chu Tianjiao scratched the back of his head. “My biological father went to my stepfather’s house to meet my son’s girlfriend. It’s as if I have no home of my own…”

After saying this, Chu Tianjiao suddenly paused, because he found that he really had no place that could be called "home" in this city. The small house where he lived with Su Xiaoyan and Chu Zihang was left to Su Xiaoyan and had been sold. The dormitory of more than ten square meters in the heavy industrial park was at best a place to live. He couldn't possibly take others to his secret room in the basement, right? If Su Xiaoyan saw the things in that room, wouldn't she be scared?

"What I mean is, we can go out and book a restaurant or a hotel, and have a meal and chat together." Chu Tianjiao said weakly, "Do we have to stay at home? The girl will feel uncomfortable, right?"

Chu Zihang looked at Chu Tianjiao, he sighed, took out his mobile phone helplessly, and opened a text message chat box to show Chu Tianjiao.

"I'll bring my father back to discuss marriage with Xia Mi."

This message was sent by Chu Zihang about two hours ago.

"Row."

This was a reply from the other party, which came ten minutes after Chu Zihang’s previous text message. The note Chu Zihang gave to this number was “Lu Tianming”.

"Marriage?" Chu Tianjiao immediately became alert. "So this meeting is to discuss marriage? Why didn't you tell me about such an important matter earlier? I haven't prepared anything yet!"

"That's not what I originally thought. I just wanted to find a reason to take you home." Chu Zihang said helplessly.

In fact, he hadn't finished the second half of the sentence... If Chu Tianjiao really met Xia Mi this time, then Xia Mi would be equivalent to meeting his parents. Maybe this time, they could really talk about engagement and wedding?
After all, Lu Mingfei, Eri, Caesar, Nono, Ye Sheng, and Shude Aki have already or are about to enter the next stage of their lives. Chu Zihang is also a competitive person, and he doesn't want to fall behind too much.

"Hey, hey, hey, didn't you send a message saying you'd be at the gate of the community a long time ago? Why are you still standing here? Are you in a meeting?" From afar, a man was walking towards this side, waving and shouting in his loud voice.

When everyone looked over, the first thing that caught their eye was a happy face with a pair of eyebrows drooping down in a funny way.
