C98 (2/2)

In the end, Du Lei treated Du Lei as a treasure, and after looking carefully, he realised that this was indeed the young Old Du. At that time, the Old Du looked very unrestrained, had long hair, and was also very handsome.

The background was the wharf with the boxes on the opposite side, through the gaps between the boxes, one could almost see the sparkling sea surface under the sunlight. Of course, this was probably Du Lei's misconception.

The gentle sea breeze blew the long hair of the two young men, causing their sweaty collars to flutter. Their young faces were brimming with the pure smiles of which era they belonged to.

This kind of smile seemed to recall Du Lei's memories. He couldn't help but think of the scene when he was young, riding on Old Du's neck, how the father and son duo looked at the seedling in the rice field. At that time, the sky was very blue, and the rural road was very narrow.

”Uncle He?”

”Is that really you?”

”I vaguely remember that my father mentioned that your little life is called having a child.”

Du Lei suddenly grabbed onto He Mansheng's thick and heavy palm. It was this man in front of him who allowed his young and rash father, who had left his hometown, to finally choose a peaceful and ordinary life.

”Yes, my nickname was indeed 'Son'. Your father and I once went to a pirate country, suffered a lot, and even drowned in the sea. It was your father who saved me.”

He Mansheng said a little sorrowfully: ”Your father and I are like blood brothers, but unfortunately, despite all these years, he has never come looking for me, and even I am unable to find any news of him.”

”This Rong City doesn't seem to be big, but it doesn't seem to be small either. Your father seems to be intentionally avoiding me.”

He Mansheng sighed, he also felt that it was a pity to see his former brother's son again.

Of course, the most important thing was that this outstanding young man in front of him was actually his daughter's boyfriend. With the relationship between him and his father, he would naturally try his best to help these two young men match their feelings. He believed that Old Du was such an outstanding man.

Then no matter how bad his son was, it was impossible for him to be that bad. With his current result, he had already surpassed the him at the same age.

Du Lei did not know what to say, he only felt that he went in a big circle, and their relationship was like that of a family.

He quickly took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over to He Mansheng: ”Uncle, let's have one.”

”Alright, let's sleep here tonight. We'll get together properly.”

Just like the Old Du, He Mansheng was also an old smoker. He took the cigarette from Du Lei and lit it up, then slowly started smoking.

He Mansheng stood on the second floor, and after he had just finished taking a bath, she was so shocked that she couldn't even close his mouth. He thought that her father had done all he could to obstruct her and Du Lei's progress, but why did his attitude change so drastically this time?

”Mom, look at them.”

He Ruyue pulled his mother over, pointed at his father and Du Lei, and asked: ”Could it be that Father really approves of my decision?”

”I think so. It's not like you don't know who your father is. He has a sharp tongue and a rotten heart. Maybe when he saw how similar Little Du and him were when they were young, his impression of him was greatly improved.”

He Ruyue's mother explained.
