Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 837: Chapter 837: Refusal

"My parents also agree." Wei Jiajie gnawed on a chicken leg. It was specially made for them at this restaurant to boost their nutrition. Since they ate there every meal, the food was particularly delicious. Not only had they grown much taller, but all of them had gotten a bit stronger too.

Whenever Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei came to see Wei Jiajie, they were filled with gratitude towards the Tang Family, a sentiment that was beyond words.

Over the past three years in Wangjiang County, Wei Jiajie didn’t fall short compared to Jiang City at all. In fact, his grades improved tremendously, not to mention he also looked better.

Initially, Mr. Wei and Mrs. Wei thought Tang Mingli was lacking as a son-in-law, but now it seemed he was truly one in a million.

"I have a question." Mo Weidong took a sip of his soda and said, "I want to visit my sister in Sea City before going to Jing City."

It seemed unlikely that he would stay in Sea City for just two days. With this in mind, he might still be in Sea City by the time they got their results.

"No problem, we’ll wait for you in Jing City." Tang Jun patted Mo Weidong on the shoulder and grinned. "Weidong, why don’t you stay in Sea City, and we’ll come fetch you?"

The previous trip to Sea City was still fresh in their memories.

Tang Jun’s suggestion made everyone else’s eyes light up instantly.

The four of them weren’t lacking for money at this point. Well, maybe not to the point of being unable to spend it all, but compared to ordinary people, each of them had a few thousand in hand, an amount others might earn only after a whole year.

"Sure, my sister would definitely welcome you all," Mo Weidong’s earlier disappointment quickly turned to excitement.

Wei Jiajie said, "Actually, we’re about to graduate soon. By then, Xiao Jun and Qiangzi will go to Jing City for school, while Weidong and I head to Sea City for college. We won’t have much time together. Xiao Jun, Qiangzi, do we want to do something together before that?"

Since childhood, Wei Jiajie had been following his parents in buying and selling goods. Even if he didn’t understand it thoroughly, he had learned just from observing. To make money, he knew he needed to do business himself.

The four of them were about to graduate high school and head to college. Wei Jiajie definitely wasn’t just going to attend college; he wanted to start his own business.

"Doing business sounds good, but what should we do?" Tang Jun asked back.

Thanks to his older sister’s influence, Tang Jun was no longer content with just being an ordinary college student. He also wanted to earn some money. In the past, he only had time for studying, but things were different now.

"We’ll figure it out later. We still have exams over the next couple of days," Wei Jiajie spread his hands. He hadn’t quite figured out what business to start yet, so he just shook his head.

"Right, let’s focus on finishing the exams first."

Mo Weidong looked a bit excited, and even Zhang Qiang couldn’t hide his enthusiasm.

That night, the four of them, filled with beautiful expectations for the future, forced themselves to sleep. Even during the exams the next day, they were full of anticipation.

Sea City.

"Qingqing, are you really going to Country F?" Shen Yunfei looked at Lian Qingqing with excitement.

"Yes." Lian Qingqing nodded and said, "I studied in Country Y before, but for jewelry design, it’s better to go to Country F. I’ve already contacted D Jewelry and am preparing to work there as a designer. The pay isn’t bad either."

Staying in Huaxia, staying in Sea City, Lian Qingqing feared running into people she knew. If she did well in Country F, there was a chance to start afresh.

"That’s great. Let’s go to Country F together. Dad’s too much for not recognizing you." Because of this issue, Shen Yunfei was very upset with Shen Jing.

"Brother, no one likes me anyway," Lian Qingqing lowered her eyes, her hands involuntarily clenching tight. Why is it that when Tang Yue found her biological dad, he was eager to give her the whole world?

And what about her?

Her own dad didn’t like her at all, let alone give her the world. Even giving her ten million made her feel like a beggar.

"No worries, I’m your brother. If you have any issues in Country F, just come to me," Shen Yunfei thumped his chest, promising her.

The plane traveled across the sky, taking Shen Yunfei and Lian Qingqing to Country F.

When Shen Jing received the news, he sighed. Yunfei had a personality just like his mother, soft-hearted and kind.

Although Shen Yunfei changed women like clothes, he was very attentive to those around him.

"Never mind."

Shen Jing picked up another file. This was recently uncovered information about his other daughter. At the time of swapping Lian Qingyang, Shen Jing was wary of Xiang Yazhi discovering something, so his full attention was on Lian Qingyang, overlooking this daughter.

Who would have thought, a single oversight led to this daughter being taken by human traffickers.

At the time, the child was only a month old. Adding to the turmoil of that era, finding a month-old baby without any birthmarks or identifying marks was as difficult as reaching for the sky.

After all these years, Shen Jing had almost forgotten he had another daughter.

Jing City.

Xintang Road.

Sun Rou was at home alone reading a book, sitting under a big tree that shielded her from the sun, adding a touch of coolness to the hot summer.

Sun Rou lay back on a recliner, holding a book, reading intently.

Her health was poor. Aside from cooking for Mom and Dad, she picked and roasted tea leaves. Heavy work was impossible for her, and although she could pick tea leaves quickly, she needed to rest after a while.

She was frequently ill and could only stay home. When she had nothing to do, she liked to read her sister’s books.

Since middle school, she was often too ill to attend school, and eventually, she stopped going, opting to self-study at home since her sister’s books were all there.

"Knock, knock."

The door was knocked on, startling her so much that she dropped the book.

Sun Rou looked up at the sky; it wasn’t even noon yet, and her sister wouldn’t be home. Who could be knocking at her door?

She sat up straight, warily watching the wooden door, her heart pounding.

"Excuse me, is Miss Sun, Sun Rou, home?" a man’s unfamiliar voice came from outside.

Sun Rou didn’t dare make a sound.

The voice sounded again, "Miss Sun, Mr. Shen is your biological father, and he’s come to see you."

Biological father?

The defense on Sun Rou’s face turned into confusion.

"I have a Dad," Sun Rou’s clear voice rang out, firm and determined.

"Miss Sun, your Dad is just your foster father. Mr. Shen is your biological father," the voice sounded again.

Sun Rou rejected, "No need. I’ve been raised by Dad since I was little."

"The Sun Family owes a lot of money because of your illness. Don’t you want to pay it back?" This voice was different, full of energy with a powerful presence.

Sun Rou’s heart trembled.

"Whether you acknowledge me or not, you should at least meet me." Shen Jing’s voice was commanding, and Sun Rou instinctively opened the door.
