Chapter 396: Reunited (3)

The old master, of course, was unwilling to reveal that he actually had someone steal out his son’s razor with his beard in it, so he wisely changed the subject and fixed his gaze on Han Yichen. He said in a serious manner, “Youlin and I have told you the complete story, from the beginning to the end. What do you think, my child? Are you willing to… acknowledge us as your family?”

The old master’s question was what Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong wanted to ask as well.

The identity of this child was now irrefutable after the explanation of Zhao Youlin and the old man, together with the support of the DNA results.

But after the identity of the child was confirmed, a lot of questions came up.

Would this child be willing to acknowledge them as his family? Would he resent them for losing him and making him suffer so much out there? Would he be able to accept the fact that he suddenly had so many family members?

This series of questions kept circulating in the heads of Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong, so much so that when the old master asked what was on their minds, they both subconsciously looked at Han Yichen with an expectant and uneasy gaze.

Han Yichen was confused by this sudden question from the old master, especially after seeing the gaze projected by Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong, he felt a terrible headache.

The atmosphere in the office was strangely silent for a long time, and all eyes were focused on Han Yichen.

Just when everyone thought Han Yichen was not going to speak, they heard Han Yichen hesitantly say, “Excuse me, I may need a little time to think about it.”

Han Yichen’s answer made Duan Yarong and the others a little disappointed, but they quickly recovered from it.

Although the child did not directly agree to acknowledge them, he also did not directly reject them. At least they still had the opportunity to acknowledge him.

Learning about things like this all of a sudden, even elders like them needed some time to process it, not to mention the child. It was only right to give him some time to accept this.

To them, being able to get their child back and confirm that he was safe and sound was already the greatest blessing.

With that in mind, Duan Yarong forced herself to push down her inner excitement and said to Han Yichen with tears in her eyes, “I know that you must be finding it hard to accept it for now when you are asked to acknowledge us all of a sudden. It is okay, I am willing to wait. I am willing to wait until the day you accept us. I only hope that you will not push us away before that.”

Duan Yarong sobbed a little after saying that. Zhao Shunrong clutched her hand and wanted to help her, but she stopped him.

After taking a deep breath, she continued, “We have been separated from each other for more than twenty years. In the coming days, I do not ask to be able to make any compensation to you. I only hope I can see you sometimes, to make sure that you are safe and happy. That’s all I want.”

Han Yichen looked at his mother, who could be described as in a state of agonizing compromise now, and his mind was in turmoil. Staring into the eyes that were full of fervor and pleading, he could not say no. He could only nod with difficulty.

Zhao Youlin listened to the conversation between the two and silently glanced at the old master, knowing that his wish to take Han Yichen back to the Zhao family was no less than Duan Yarong and her husband, yet he knew that he could not push him too hard.

What’s more, the child’s parents had already said so. He, as the grandfather, was not in the place to say anything more.

After that, Zhao Youlin and Han Yichen had only a brief conversation, knowing that right now, what this man needed the most was to be alone to think about it, so she did not ask him to stay.

After telling Duan Yarong, she personally walked Han Yichen out the door. And of course, before he left, she did not forget to tell the recent situation of An Yue to her future brother, reminding him to meet with the girl as soon as he could.

After sending Han Yichen away, Zhao Youlin was pulled over by Duan Yarong who had been waiting in agony as soon as she returned to her office. She kept asking for more detailed information about Han Yichen.

Zhao Youlin understood how much Duan Yarong wanted to know more about this child who had been living out there alone for many years, so she did not keep anything from them and told them everything she knew.

Duan Yarong sat beside Zhao Youlin and listened to Zhao Yulin talk about how strong and mature Han Yichen had been all these years, although he had no one to rely on in the orphanage.

He was able to work and study while he was away from the orphanage. He was able to pay his own tuition fee. After he went to college, he started his own business and built his own business company from scratch.

Duan Yarong was weeping silently beside her. While she was feeling sad and grief for the suffering her son had been through out there, she could not but feel proud and upset.

Her son had become so outstanding and she did not know about it. As his parents, they were never there when he grew up.

Seeming to understand Duan Yarong’s feelings, Zhao Shunrong comforted her in a low voice. “Now that we found him, it’s still not too late. He is our son. Of course, he is an outstanding child.”

Although they were not there in his past, they could be there for him in his future. And that’s what parents are for.

After hearing Zhao Youlin mention that Han Yichen was once in debt because his partner ran away, so much so that he ended up on the street and was taken back by a staff member in Zhao Youlin’s store.

Duan Yarong suddenly got nervous and grabbed Zhao Youlin and kept asking her about the situation. Zhao Youlin had to take a lot of effort to explain to her that it was just a trap set by Han Yichen himself.

Duan Yarong was relieved at the same time, she also paid some attention to the staff who took Han Yichen back.

She preemptively thought that if An Yue had not brought Han Yichen back, Zhao Youlin would not have noticed Han Yichen, and she would never have found her son.

The more Duan Yarong thought about it, the more she thought that was exactly it. So she held Zhao Youlin’s hand and said she would find an opportunity to thank the staff properly.

Zhao Youlin did not know she should cry and laugh after hearing that, but she did not turn her down. She only nodded meaningfully in response.

Duan Yarong and Zhao Shunrong still did not know about the relationship between Han Yichen and An Yue. So it was nothing wrong with helping An Yue to gain favor with her future mother-in-law.

Unlike Duan Yarong, the old master and Zhao Shunrong’s eyes both flickered when they heard Zhao Youlin talk about what happened.

They felt some vague joy and relief. They never would have thought that this child had become so outstanding on his own when he was out there alone, and he was not affected by the deceit and strife in the business world at all.

When the old master heard that Han Yichen was in huge debt because his partner absconded with the money, although he knew that young people need experience, he also knew that this was an immature performance as a businessman.

But when he heard Zhao Youlin say that all that was just a set-up by Han Yichen to lure someone out.

In this way, the old master felt that he had underestimated his eldest grandson, who they had just found.

So, at that time when he asked Zhao Youlin to find a way to lure Han Yichen into Zhao Enterprise, was this what Zhao Youlin meant when she said that? The old master’s eyes could not help but be filled with some faint joy and appreciation.
