"So please, Mr. Liu, tell me properly, what exactly happened between you and my daughter, and what kind of person do you think she is?"
Liu Yifeng sat back in his chair, and hearing Su's father's polite question, he quickly said respectfully:
"Uncle Su, you are too kind. It is only right that I tell you about this matter. It was my fault before, I shouldn't have been disrespectful to you."
Liu Yifeng casually smoothed the slightly creased hem of his clothes with his hand and said:
"I will definitely tell you everything I know in detail."
Liu Yifeng fell into memory and began to narrate:
"Last summer, Yun Duo'er sent her bodyguard to bring Tong Tong to our house.
After Tong Tong arrived at our house, my father was very surprised. I didn't even have a girlfriend, so how could I suddenly have a child, and a three-year-old at that.
At that time, my family was still very poor, with not much money.
My father did not reprimand Tong Tong for her sudden arrival. Instead, he became very fond of her due to her well-behaved and clever nature."
Liu Yifeng glanced at Su's father, paused, and continued:
"However, Yun Duo'er also sent us a paternity test report and a letter, which made my father and me cherish Tong Tong even more."
Su's father, ignoring the now cold tea on the table, took a sip and asked:
"Oh, what did the letter say?"
Liu Yifeng's expression turned somewhat agitated as he clenched the armrest of his chair, his voice filled with anger:
"The letter said that Tong Tong is my biological child, so Tong Tong should be raised by me. It also said that she had raised Tong Tong for three years, and now it was only right for her to send the child to me! It also told me not to let Tong Tong appear before her again! So as not to affect her work and future!"
Su's father, hearing Liu Yifeng's voice, tone, and the way he clenched the armrest, spoke with some appeasement:
"Mr. Liu, please don't be angry. Duo'er is a girl, and our Su family does owe her something. When I was young, my career was sabotaged, and I sent Duo'er to be raised by others early on.
Furthermore, Duo'er is currently an actress. It is indeed somewhat unavoidable. Unmarried childbirth can have a very serious impact on a female star. It will not only affect her present but possibly her future career."
Hearing Su's father's words, Liu Yifeng thought:
No wonder Yun Duo'er would give her own obedient and sensible son back to me for the sake of her career.
So that's how it is. She herself was a child abandoned by her parents.
But Liu Yifeng, hiding his emotions, said:
"Uncle Su, you are too kind. Every family has its own difficulties, and your decision back then was also out of necessity.
And I originally believed that Yun Duo'er must have had her reasons for sending Tong Tong back to me at the time. For example, she might have disliked my family background or worried about her career.
However, I want to say that this is not the main point. When I took Tong Tong to participate in the 'Super Brain' program, I already knew she would be there as a special guest for another contestant, but I kept it from Tong Tong.
On the day of the program, as expected, Tong Tong met her at the television station.
Seeing her, Tong Tong was very happy, thinking she would finally see her mother again!
But Yun Duo'er broke Tong Tong's heart. She pretended not to know Tong Tong and treated Tong Tong as a stranger the entire time."
Su's father, hearing this, also became somewhat angry and said:
"How could Duo'er treat Tong Tong like that!?"
"Yes, Uncle Su! I can't understand how a mother could be so heartless to her own child. Especially since Tong Tong is only a three-year-old child."
Liu Yifeng said to Su's father, his eyes filled with concern for Tong Tong.
Su's father understood everything after hearing Liu Yifeng's words.
He began to reconsider Yun Duo'er's request for him to invest in her acting career, feeling that he couldn't easily help Yun Duo'er achieve the position she desired. He decided to investigate first to understand what trouble made her so reluctant to mention it.
Su's father also comforted Liu Yifeng, saying:
"Alas, perhaps Duo'er truly had to give up Tong Tong for her career. Maybe when Duo'er achieves the position she desires, she will return to Tong Tong's side and be a good mother!"
Liu Yifeng understood Su's father's comfort. He was still on Yun Duo'er's side.
After all, Yun Duo'er was his own daughter. She had been away from him for so long, and to reach her current status, she must have suffered a lot.
Su's father felt a sense of guilt and wanted to compensate his daughter, which was understandable.
Liu Yifeng did not say any more.
Su's mother arranged for Liu Yifeng and Tong Tong to have dinner at their home. Then, she reluctantly bid farewell to the father and son, watching Liu Yifeng drive away with Tong Tong from the Su residence.
That evening, on the way home with Tong Tong, Liu Yifeng.
Tong Tong blinked her big eyes and said to Liu Yifeng:
"Daddy, how was your chess game with Grandpa today?"
Liu Yifeng smiled:
"What chess can Daddy play? We just chatted with your Grandpa for a while."
"Then what did you talk about? You talked for so long that you didn't play with Grandma with me."
Tong Tong crossed her small arms in front of her, feigning anger and said.
"Haha, it's Daddy's fault! But did you have fun seeing your grandparents today? Did you enjoy playing with Grandma?"
Tong Tong put down her small hands, raised them above her head, and cheered:
"Of course, I had fun! Grandma's cooking was so delicious tonight."
Tong Tong lowered her hands, made a small gesture with her thumb and index finger, and said:
"But compared to Daddy, the taste is still a little bit off."
Liu Yifeng smiled upon hearing Tong Tong's compliment:
"Hehe, Daddy's cooking is still the best, right? Did Tong Tong eat enough tonight?"
Tong Tong rubbed her belly with her little hands and said excitedly:
"Daddy, look! My little tummy is full!"
After Tong Tong answered Liu Yifeng's question, she narrowed one of her big eyes and said:
"Daddy, change the subject! Daddy hasn't answered my question yet."
Hearing Tong Tong's words, Liu Yifeng laughed heartily:
"Tong Tong is truly Daddy's little genius! You can't stump you."
Liu Yifeng paused and said to Tong Tong:
"Daddy is not trying to deceive you or hide things from you, but what Grandpa asked me today is not convenient to tell a child like you, Tong Tong."
