164: Mother

The two were led by the waiter to the outside of the box. The waiter did not know that Wang Cheng needed psychological preparation, so after knocking, he directly opened the box’s door and asked them to enter. The box was very bright. When he entered, he first saw the dining table and Zheng Jingen and three other people sitting around it. As soon as they entered the door, the four looked over.

Before Wang Cheng opened his mouth, three pairs of eyes fell on him, with complex emotions such as surprise, excitement, and astonishment. The woman sitting in the middle had the most obvious reaction. She stared at him blankly, tears flowing down her face in an instant.

Wang Cheng's heart was a little stunned; a blood relationship was sometimes quite strange.

Zheng Jingen did not need to explain anymore. Both Mother Zheng and Zheng Jingxue knew why he arranged this dinner. Seeing Wang Cheng, they knew. Mother Zheng's mood was a bit out of control, and the scene became a little chaotic. She suddenly saw her younger son who was always in her thoughts, and it was inevitable that this would happen. The two big men had to calm her emotions first. Unlike her, Zheng Jingxue stared at Wang Cheng curiously.

She knew that she had another brother since she was very young, but that brother was gone. Both her parents and her elder brother said he was taken away by the bad guys. She had also imagined what this elder brother would look like, would he look like her eldest brother and also spoil her? She gradually understood the feelings of her parents when she grew up, and also hoped that her missing second brother would return one day.

When she suddenly saw him now, Zheng Jingxue's first reaction was to stay still, because he was more handsome than she had imagined, and also more handsome than most of the men she met.

Wang Cheng had already noticed the girl’s overly enthusiastic expression. He remembered that Zheng Jingen had said that there was a younger sister, it should be this girl. He didn't know if his brain had broken, but he suddenly laughed at that moment.

The girl was quite beautiful, but it was different from the beauty of his sister, Wang Ziyu. They each had their own merits, and it was difficult to say who was more beautiful. She should also be a more cute and fairy type, but her eyes were thinner while Ziyu’s were larger. She also looked a little more lively and naughty. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh.

"I know I'm handsome, but do you need to look at me like this?"

Zheng Jingxue was so frightened that she looked away.

The box became quiet because of Wang Cheng's words. Everyone looked at him, and then looked at Zheng Jingxue's flushed face. Mother Zheng’s sadness disappeared at once, and she immediately turned her face. Zheng Jingen received the urgent signal sent by Mother Zheng and coughed to break the silence.

"Parents, Jingxue, let me introduce him to you. This is Wang Cheng, who is from Shanhai City. Next to him is his friend Mr. Chu." Father Zheng and Mother Zheng only then noticed the existence of Chu Yifeng, was that ‘Chu’ of the Chu family? Thoughts flashed, but then their attention returned to Wang Cheng, especially Mother Zheng’s.

Zheng Jingen took out a document from the briefcase he brought, and handed it to Mother Zheng, saying, "Mom, look at this document to find the purpose of this appointment.”

Mother Zheng looked at this information but didn’t receive it for a long time. She knew that as long as she took the information, it could solve all her doubts, but she was afraid that she would be disappointed. Obviously, she was being a bit stubborn. If it was a negative answer, how could Zheng Jingen bring out the information, let alone arrange the meal? The information was the result of the DNA identification, and the objects of identification were herself and Wang Cheng. When she opened the first page of the information, the words in the first line immediately jumped into her eyes.

Skipping the irrelevant words, she saw the last few words, and her mind went blank for a moment: Ms. Zhou Hui and Mr. Wang Cheng are identified to have a mother-child relationship.

Zheng Jingxue came over to probe and saw this line of words. She immediately covered her mouth in surprise. He was really her second brother who had been missing for 25 years?

"You, are you really my son?" Mother Zheng looked at Wang Cheng with tears on her face.

"If the appraisal is correct, I should be." Wang Cheng was a little embarrassed. He could act coquettish towards Mama Wang without any pressure, but when faced with someone he just met, even if he had already determined that the other party was his biological mother, he couldn’t do it.

Mother Zheng burst into tears all of a sudden, and the box was immediately filled with a depressing atmosphere, but no one spoke. Mother Zheng really needed to let go. The twenty-five years of feeling someone missing were not so easy to let go of.

"Okay, okay, you should be happy to see your son, you’ll scare him away like this." Father Zheng comforted her.

Wang Cheng wanted to say, he was not so scared ...

Mother Zheng stopped crying immediately.

"You're right, I shouldn't cry, my son has finally been found, I should be happy." Then while talking, Mother Zheng's tears fell again, "... But what can I do? I can’t help it. I am so happy I almost feel like it is a dream. Would you say that I will wake up to discover that it is a dream? Or pinch me, so the pain proves that I am not dreaming."

Wang Cheng: "..."

Mother Zheng's emotions were excited for more than half an hour, and by the time she finally calmed down, an hour had passed. Afraid that everyone was hungry, Zheng Jingen ordered a table of dishes. He didn't know that Wang Cheng and Chu Yifeng had come prepared.

The two had already eaten a bowl of noodles before going out. Chu Yifeng suggested it, and Wang Cheng later felt that it made sense. After 25 years of separation from loved ones, there would be a lot of things to say. The process of acknowledging relatives may not necessarily end all at once.

During the meal, Mother Zheng and Zheng Jingen changed positions so she could sit next to Wang Cheng. She kept talking to Wang Cheng during the meal. Her emotions came quickly and her recovery could be considered fast. Her face was covered with a heartfelt smile. Father Zheng hadn’t seen her smile so happily in a long time, and he couldn’t help feeling a little emotional; he had always fantasized about having a family dinner together.

Father Zheng, who thought this way, obviously forgot Chu Yifeng. Strictly speaking, it couldn’t be said that he was not family, it was just a matter of time, and they had no choice in the matter.

Wang Cheng could not bear her enthusiasm, but did not interrupt her. He felt a little pampered. He kind of understood Mother Zheng's mood. If his family was missing someone, he would feel uncomfortable, not to mention that they were the parents. What they wanted most was for their children to grow up in peace and happiness. However, in China, there were still many broken families in places they didn’t know. The fact that he could find his own biological family and parents when he grew up was already lucky.

The woman in front of him had no worries about food or clothing, and had the status and money that many people wanted. But, like most mothers in the world, she was just a mother who missed her children.

When Zheng Jingen and Father Zheng saw him bow his head slightly, they held faint smiles on their faces. Their genuine expressions came from the heart, and they all felt moved in their hearts. Especially Father Zheng, who secretly wiped his tears. It seemed that his adoptive parents educated their child very well and they must thank them when they had the opportunity. After dinner, Wang Cheng and Mother and Father Zheng went to the corner to speak, while Chu Yifeng, Zheng Jingen, and his sister stayed outside.

Zheng Jingxue secretly glanced at Chu Yifeng. She was not familiar with Chu Yifeng, but it did not prevent her from hearing some rumors about him. He was about the same age as her elder brother, but there was a big difference between them.

The reputation of the Chu family was known to everyone in the Imperial Capital. Everyone knew that this was a large family in the Imperial Capital that crossed the three realms of military, politics, and business, and that in each field, has achieved dazzling achievements. Needles to say, in both the military and political circles, the men and women were equally good. But, what really made people talk about the achievements of the Chu family in the business world was its representative, Chu Yifeng.

The younger boss of the Chu family,

The path he took was contrary to what everyone expected; he chose neither politics nor to join the army, but he chose to do business. However, no one knew his experience. They only knew that when such a powerful figure appeared in the Chu family, his wealth was unimaginable to many. Now, such a legendary big man appeared in front of Zheng Jingxue. She hesitated, but then couldn’t help it: "Mr. Chu, are you really my second brother's friend?"

"Jingxue." Zheng Jingen whispered to her.

Zheng Jingxue stuck her tongue at him, ignored him, and continued to stare at Chu Yifeng, "You are so powerful, is my second brother also very powerful?"

"He's very powerful." He couldn’t capture his own heart if he was not powerful.

Zheng Jingxue saw that he didn’t ignore her, and grew a little excited. She hurriedly seized the opportunity to ask, "What kind of person is my second brother? Can you tell me?"

Chu Yifeng had some concerns before that Wang Cheng's recognition of the Zheng family might not be a good thing. Now it seemed to be a bit redundant. He didn’t mind telling her, "He has thick skin."

Zheng Jingxue was taken aback for a moment. After a moment, she reacted. She remembered that she was teased by her second brother. Wasn’t his skin thick? Although he was indeed handsome, few people would say that about themselves, unless they had thick skin or were narcissistic.

Over an hour later, Wang Cheng and Father and Mother Zheng came over, they had talked for a long time. Mother Zheng’s eyes were red. Although her younger son did not immediately give her an answer, she was already satisfied with the result. Some things could only be done slowly, she knew it would be difficult for her younger son to accept them all at once.

When they separated at the restaurant entrance, Mother Zheng had to reluctantly watch Wang Cheng leave before she was willing to leave. She was holding her mobile phone tightly in her hand. The mobile phone was the one she usually used, but today this phone included the phone number of her younger son.
