C98 (1/2)

He Mansheng took off his glasses. His eyes were red, and he couldn't help but smile at both sides of his mouth, the lines of wrinkles on the corner of his eyes opening up.

At this moment, he seemed to have aged quite a bit.

He Mansheng slowly covered his own face, and actually started crying. He was very happy, truly very happy, he had searched for his long-lost brother, whom he had never forgotten.

”Uncle He.”

”You …”

Du Lei was a little confused.

He was still fine just now, why was he crying all of a sudden?

In his opinion, how could a successful man like He Mansheng, who had seen too many hardships, cry so easily?

”It's nothing, I was just suddenly very happy.”

He Mansheng controlled his emotions and wiped the tears at the corner of his eyes. He reached out and patted Du Lei's shoulder; ”Your dad and I were good friends back then.”

”Ah?” Uncle He, are you kidding me? How could my dad know you, he's just the heir to the 100 year old hotpot restaurant, there's at least 8,000 people like him in the Rong City. If he knows you, he would brag about how he knows the big shots of Rong City's catering industry. ”

Du Lei shook his head, he had a look that said, don't joke around with me, the junior, as he knows very well what kind of person Old Du is.

He was the type to keep a low profile in front of outsiders, but in front of ”his own son”.

However, he was a very high-profile person. When he was young, he was a figure that was even more powerful than Sun Wukong in Du Lei's eyes. He was the hero in his heart.

”Didn't your dad tell you about me?”

He Mansheng probed, as the disappointed expression on his face was extremely obvious. In his opinion, one of his old friends should be someone who cherishes the past.

”I never said, but my dad said that when he was young, he had a good brother, that good brother, who accompanied him through the most important part of his life. During that long journey, he and that good brother established a deep friendship, but unfortunately, he has too many shackles on him, otherwise he would probably have become a great man by now. Well, if that's the case, I wouldn't be here in front of you right now.”

Du Lei thought for a while and said. When Old Du was young, there was indeed a period of time when people were acting strangely, but unfortunately, it was hard to tell whether it was real or fake.

However, Du Lei still believed in his father. From a young age till now, his father had been his greatest hope in his life.

Even though Old Du was really old, his spine was always so straight. He was still able to speak so straightforwardly, so unyieldingly and delightfully.

Even at the age of fifty, he was still hot-blooded. Even when gangsters were assaulting little girls, Old Du was still as young as he was when he saw injustice on the road and helped out with his sabre.

”Xiao Lei, Xiao Lei, I'm your father's brother from back then. Come and show me some photos.”

He Mansheng took out a blurry black and white photo from his wallet and introduced: ”This tall man was when your father was young. This photo was taken when we were unloading goods at the dock of the Volcano Country.
