Chapter 268 tells you some good news
After a long and arduous journey, we finally arrived at the Tan family villa at night.
The car slowly drove into the gate of the Tan family's old residence in Pengcheng. Tan Xiangchen had been silent the whole way. Now, looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar building and the road leading home, his expression gradually became tense, and his hands unconsciously clenched the hem of his clothes.
Sitting beside him, Li Yuzhu noticed his unusual behavior, gently reached out and took his hand, comforting him, "Don't be nervous, your family must miss you very much. For so many years, everyone thought you were gone, and now that you've miraculously returned, I'm afraid the old folks at home will be too excited to handle it."
Tan Xiangchen nodded slightly, fragments of memory gradually piecing together in his mind. A trace of regret flashed in his eyes as he realized how foolish and unfilial he had been back then, heartlessly abandoning his parents.
“Look, those children, Erbao, Sanbao, and Qibao…” Li Yuzhu pointed out the window, a gentle smile on her face, her eyes full of maternal love. “They are all our Zhengchu’s children. Although you didn’t participate much in their growth before, there’s still a long time ahead. Our family will make up for it.”
As Tan Xiangchen looked at the children, his expression softened, and his eyes shone with love.
In the courtyard of the old house, five children, including Erbao, Sanbao, and Qibao, were being led by Grandma Tan.
When they saw the car slowly drive in, their eyes lit up instantly, and they jumped and cheered with excitement.
"It's Da Bao and Liu Bao's older brothers back!" Er Bao exclaimed excitedly, his voice clear and melodious.
"Yes, yes, we're finally back!" Sanbao cheered, grinning from ear to ear.
Tan Zhengchu, standing to the side, had a slight smile on his lips. He hadn't told his family about his father's return beforehand, intending to give everyone a big surprise.
Grandma Tan looked at the children's excited faces and a bright smile spread across her face. She nodded with a smile and said loudly, "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Grandma missed you so much."
Erbao, Sanbao, Qibao, and the other children dashed towards the car like a herd of joyful deer. Seeing Dabao and Liubao already in the car, they all pounced on them, chattering incessantly:
"Brother Dabao, you're finally back! We've missed you so much!"
"Brother Liubao, where did you go this time? Did you bring us any treats?"
Grandma Tan stood there, her eyes fixed on the car. She hadn't seen her grandsons for the past few days, and she felt a void in her heart.
Seeing them return safely now, she truly understands how wonderful it feels to have someone care and accompany you.
She secretly vowed that she would never let Da Bao and Liu Bao suffer any mishaps again, and that she would keep the whole family closely together.
The luxury car finally drove slowly into the Tan family's parking lot and came to a steady stop.
The servants who were waiting nearby quickly stepped forward and respectfully opened the car door.
The first to get off the bus were Liu Bao and Da Bao, both with bright smiles on their faces. They stood by the bus, their eyes full of anticipation as they looked at their companions inside.
At this moment, five children, including Qibao, Erbao, Sanbao, and others, were already waiting not far away. As soon as they saw Liubao and Dabao get off the bus, they cheered excitedly and ran towards them like a group of happy little deer.
Qibao was the first to rush into Liubao's arms, hugging him tightly, and said in a tearful voice, "Brother Liubao, I missed you so much!"
Erbao hugged Dabao and said in a spoiled tone, "Brother Dabao, why have you been gone for so long? I missed you so much!"
The other children also gathered around, some holding their hands, some hugging their legs, all talking at once about how much they missed them.
Liu Bao gently patted Qi Bao's little hand and said tenderly, "Qi Bao, be good, your brother misses you too."
Da Bao smiled and patted Er Bao's head, saying, "Er Bao, stop fooling around. Your brother is back now, and he missed you both very much."
Just then, Grandma Tan slowly walked over, surrounded by her family. Her eyes were full of concern. As soon as she reached Liu Bao and Da Bao, she reached out and took their hands, carefully checking them from head to toe.
"My dear child, you've worried Grandma to death about this trip. Did you fall or get hurt?" Grandma Tan asked anxiously.
After saying that, Grandma Tan's face darkened, and she scolded angrily, "You two, how could you run out on your own? It's so dangerous outside! You didn't even tell the family. It makes Grandma so angry and anxious!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Bao and Da Bao both lowered their heads, looking a little embarrassed, and said, "Grandma, we know we were wrong, and we will never do it again. Please don't be angry."
Tan Zhengchu stood aside, watching this heartwarming scene, and suddenly said with a smile, "Grandma, I have some good news to tell you."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Tan's eyes lit up immediately. She looked Tan Zhengchu up and down and Su Yingxue standing next to him. Her face blossomed into a smile, and she said with delight, "Is Yingxue pregnant?"
Upon hearing this, Tan Zhengchu was taken aback at first, then burst into laughter: "Grandma, what are you thinking? We haven't reached that point yet."
Upon hearing Grandma Tan's words, Su Yingxue's face flushed red to her ears. She gently pushed Tan Zhengchu and scolded him, "You're always joking. You've made Grandma misunderstand."
While laughing and dodging Su Yingxue's shoves, Tan Zhengchu explained to his grandmother, "Grandma, it's another good thing. Don't make wild guesses."
However, in front of his elders, Tan Zhengchu restrained himself and dared not play around with Su Yingxue too much. He spoke to his family in a soft voice and maintained his composure.
As everyone was talking, Old Mrs. Tan's gaze inadvertently drifted to a spot not far behind Tan Zhengchu. She rubbed her eyes, somewhat unable to believe her eyes. There, a masked man stood, and his figure bore a striking resemblance to her son, Tan Xiangchen, whom she missed day and night.
Grandma Tan's heart skipped a beat, but she quickly shook her head, thinking to herself, "I must be missing my son too much and hallucinating. How could Xiang Chen suddenly appear in front of me?"
However, Tan Zhengchu turned his gaze to the masked man and said softly, "Dad, come here."
Following Tan Zhengchu's gaze, Old Mrs. Tan's eyes widened instantly, tears welling up in them.
Her voice trembled with excitement: "Xiang Chen, is that you? It really is you!"
Hearing his mother's call, Tan Xiangchen hurried towards his parents. He reached his mother, embraced her tightly, and said in a choked voice, "Mom, I'm back. I'm sorry for making you and Dad worry. I missed you so much."
