Good Dad System (Arc 7) Chapter 56.8: After Being Abducted (20)
“This is the first apology Dad wants to say to you. Maybe if I hadn’t bought you, you wouldn’t be separated from your parents.” Mother Lu listened and squatted down. She looked into Lu Dongshun’s eyes and wanted to cry for some reason – she and her husband went to choose the child in the beginning. They fell in love with Dongshun at first sight. He was so cute sitting there, with such big eyes, and he didn’t cry or make a fuss. They thought they would take good care of the child, but they didn’t do it.
Lu Dongshun couldn’t say it didn’t matter, he just lowered his head. This was probably the first time his parents apologized to him.
“My second apology is that your mother and I didn’t treat you well after we had Xishun.”
“I…” Lu Dongshun wanted to speak, but closed his mouth again.
Mother Lu suddenly hugged Lu Dongshun and shed tears. How could she describe her feelings? Clearly, she had told her husband that she didn’t want this child, but now that they were really going to separate, how could she be so reluctant? “I’m sorry, I’m really sorry.”
Lu Dongshun hesitated and placed his hand on Lu’s mother’s back: “…It’s okay.”
“Now, you should go back to your parents.” Father Lu tried to speak briskly, “We stole you from your parents for so many years. They have suffered a lot and been wronged. It’s our fault. Now you should go back to your own home.”
“…Am I leaving?” He said blankly. Even though he accepted the fact, he still couldn’t accept it when it really hit him.
Mother Lu let go of her husband’s hand, supported him to stand up, and wiped her tears: “Yes, you have to go back. Your father and I have Xishun, and we are doing very well. Go back and live a good life with your biological parents, okay?” She couldn’t help but rubbed his head, “Study hard and don’t go out to play every day. Your biological parents are university professors, very impressive. Live a good life over there.”
He stared at his adoptive parents blankly, as if by looking at them he could remember them.
Father Lu felt around and took out a few hundred yuan in cash, stuffing it into Lu Dongshun’s arms. He spat in his heart, thinking about what he and his wife had done over the years, and felt ashamed. They bought someone else’s child, but they didn’t raise him well? He pulled his wife out and said, “You have to live a good life after you pass away. Your parents only have you, but they are not as partial as we are. We think about Xishun every day. I heard that they are from City B and have good conditions. When you leave, don’t think about anything. That’s the life you should have lived, do you understand?”
He couldn’t help but added, “Your parents are really… very good, very good.” It was difficult for him to describe the shame he felt in front of the other person. It didn’t come from class, but from his heart for Dongshun – the heart that wanted his son to live a happier life even though it was painful and wronged. He couldn’t put himself in his son’s shoes.
Father and Mother Lu didn’t look back. They walked straight out the door. It was time to go. This was a mistake. They had received legal education and should realize their mistake.
Lu Dongshun suddenly stood up, his hands clenched into fists, shaking beside him: “Dad! Mom!” He shouted, and the two people in front stopped, “…Goodbye.”
“No need to say goodbye, we are doing well, we don’t need you.” Mother Lu replied in a hard voice, pulling her husband out. He was a good boy, they ruined him! Father Lu said nothing, just waved silently without looking back.
Goodbye, maybe this is the last time I call you? Mom and Dad, no matter what, thank you for taking care of me.

Pei Naochun supported Yang Qiuping and walked to the door of the office. They were nervous and took deep breaths. Yang Qiuping, in particular, almost fainted several times. Even if they hesitated, they should push open the door. The couple held hands tightly. When the door opened, it was Pei Yuanbo, the person they had been thinking about. He was also nervous and sat there with his fingers clenched, staring blankly at the door.
Yang Qiuping and Pei Naochun leaned on each other and walked over step by step. At the same time, they squatted in front of their son. Their eyes were covered with mist. While they tried to smile, tears were already falling. Thousands of words in their hearts turned into just one sentence, a long call: “Yuanyuan.”
Our Yuanyuan can finally go home.
