Chapter 685 The Truth

Chapter 685 The Truth
Xing Zhongde slammed the door and left, leaving the rest of the people in the room silent for a moment.

Lawyer Wang probably has seen this kind of thing many times, so he was very calm. After a brief silence, he asked Mr. Xing again: "Mr. Xing, are we still going to draft our gift deed according to the original plan?"

"No problem, let's proceed as planned!" Xing Zongda nodded readily, as if he was not emotionally affected by his son. "I called that bastard here just to let him have the right to know.

I built this business with my own hands, and every brick and tile of this house was accumulated through my hard work for most of my life."

He sighed and smiled at Father Ning and Mother Ning beside him: "You two relatives are family, so I won't make fun of you.

I had thought about handing over the family business to my eldest son one day, hoping that the family business could reach a new level under his management...

As fate would have it, God probably thought that the two young people were too capable and wasted their talents in my family, so he sent them back home.

I know what kind of person this unfilial son left in my family is. He is not someone who can support the family business and be independent!
But he just doesn't know his own worth. I suggested years ago that he find a stable job, and when I can no longer work, I will sell the business. The money left will be enough for him to live a comfortable life without worries for the rest of his life.

But he just didn't want to do that. He had to prove that he was capable and take over the family business.

As an old man, I had no choice but to grit my teeth and persist until I really didn't have the energy left, and then I handed over the management to him.

Later, the result was obvious. In the past few years under his control, the company's performance has shrunk a lot..."

Xing Zongda sighed meaningfully: "My in-laws may not be clear about some things in the past, but Xiaoyan knows it in his heart.

My child, although it was your uncle who made the mistake, he is also my son. It is ultimately my responsibility as an old man that I have failed in educating my son. I cannot shirk my responsibility.

I don't need to think to know how difficult it has been for you outside these years.

You have to rely on yourself for everything. Not only did you grow up healthily, but you are also excellent in character and in all aspects. This is what makes your grandfather most gratified, but also what makes him feel more guilty.

Grandpa asked someone about what happened back then and found the person who helped take care of you.

That person specializes in temporary babysitting. She said that day that your parents had originally left you there and were going back to pack up and prepare to move. She didn't know where your parents lived, so she was just very surprised why you didn't come to pick up the child in the evening.

By the second and third day, no one had come to pick up the child. She thought the baby was abandoned, but she did not give up calling to contact them.

Later, your second uncle happened to go to deal with the funeral and reissued a mobile phone card that your father had used before he died. The woman who was temporarily taking care of you called the number and after the conversation she found out that something had happened to your parents.

Afterwards, your second uncle took you back according to the other party's notification.

Originally, he would have handled the matter normally, but on the way back... he was possessed by a ghost and left you at the door of the orphanage...

Alas... I also consulted Lawyer Wang before this matter——"

Lawyer Wang nodded to Huo Yan, and took the initiative to prove that what Xing Zongda said was true. "Lawyer Wang said that there is no way to pursue legal responsibility for this matter now, and grandpa has never thought of taking sides, but now that things have come to this, I can only make it up to you in my own way, and there is nothing else I can do."

Xing Zongda sighed with some sadness: "Although the palm and the back of the hand are made of flesh, the flesh on my palm was gouged away thirty years ago. The flesh on the back of my hand has been well fed and well dressed since I was a child. I have never had to worry about food and clothing, and I have done my best.

Xiaoyan, don't listen to your second uncle's nonsense. If you still recognize me as your grandpa, and hope that your grandpa can spend his later years in peace and stability at such an old age, and can close his eyes peacefully on the day he passes away, then you must not refuse my arrangement under any circumstances.

I know you are not a greedy child. Even if you donate all the things I give you, I will never interfere.

Only by doing this can I feel better and feel less indebted to you and your parents."

Mr. Xing spoke with great sincerity and every word came from the bottom of his heart. At the end, the elderly man's eyes were red and tears were streaming down his face.

Father Ning couldn't bear it, but as parents, we can all try to understand and empathize with Grandpa Xing's feelings to a certain extent.

He sighed and helped Mr. Xing wipe his tears with a tissue: "Don't be sad, old man! It's a happy thing to find such an outstanding grandson! I'll cook a few of my specialties today to accompany you. Can we have a couple of drinks together?"

Xing Zongda patted the back of Ning's father's hand, sighed, and nodded.

Huo Yan's mood at this moment was also very complicated.

Of course, he had resentment towards his second uncle Xing Chongde.

Originally it was just his and Ning Shuyi's subjective guess, but now that Mr. Xing told us the results of his own investigation, it proved that their previous guess was correct.

Mr. Xing said that it was not easy for Huo Yan to grow up over the years, and Huo Yan never denied this.

When a person faces all kinds of difficulties and temptations in his life, being able to stick to the right path requires a lot of effort and cannot be separated from the guidance of others.

There was no one around him who could give him such positive guidance. Instead, his previous adoptive parents abandoned him midway, and later their friends heard the news and came to adopt Huo Yan to "get pregnant". In addition, the invisible different treatment he received from his parents as an "unwanted child" since he was a child, each of these was enough to inspire a half-grown child to give up and hate the world.

But Huo Yan endured it all silently, without any deviation at all. He was well aware of the difficulty involved.

However, Huo Yan never directed his resentment towards his second uncle towards Old Man Xing.

As an old man who was also kept in the dark and suffered the pain of losing his son at the time, he was so innocent.

From the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to accept the compensation from old man Xing Zongta, because he felt that his grandfather did not really owe him anything.

However, facing the old man's sincere heartfelt words, Huo Yan knew very well that if he refused the old man's gift, it would hurt the old man's heart.
