Chapter 653 Dad will definitely compensate you
Looking at the jujube tree in the yard, Zhu Zhengting's eyes became sore and tears flowed uncontrollably.
This was not an act, but a true expression of his feelings. He actually missed his mother very much, whom he had never met.
After all, the word "maternal love" had never appeared in his life. He knelt on the ground, hugged the jujube tree, and cried about the grievances he had suffered over the years. While crying, he took out the paper money and sandalwood he had bought long ago and lit them.
Wisps of green smoke rose, as if carrying all the sadness and pain he had experienced over the years, slowly drifting towards the unknown distance.
The miserable cries echoed in the yard of the old house, each cry was full of tears, and every cry was filled with the pain that he had suppressed in his heart for many years.
"Mom, do you know how hard my life has been these years? I lost you when I was young, and Dad didn't care about me. He let others bully me. I was like an orphan that no one wanted..."
Zhu Zhengting cried so hard that his tears wet the ground in front of him.
After a long time, just when his voice was about to become hoarse from crying, a sound of footsteps came from afar.
Zhu Zhengting's heart tightened, knowing that it might be his father Zhu Tianyuan who appeared, but he couldn't care less at the moment. He was still immersed in his own sadness and continued to cry.
As soon as Zhu Tianyuan stepped into the yard, he was shocked by the scene before him.
He saw Zhu Zhengting kneeling in front of the jujube tree, crying so sadly, with paper money and sandalwood burning on the ground. The scene made his heart suddenly tighten.
For many years, he has been deliberately avoiding everything about his ex-wife and Zhu Zhengting, but at this moment, those emotions that he had buried deep in his heart seemed to be showing signs of revival.
Zhu Zhengting seemed to notice someone coming, but he didn't look up. He just cried even harder, muttering:
"Mom, I miss you so much. Why did you leave me so early, leaving me all alone in this world..."
Zhu Tianyuan stood there quietly, looking at his son, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He once thought he could always hate this child, but now seeing Zhu Zhengting in such pain, he realized that he was not completely without feelings for this son. On the contrary, the hidden guilt surged up like a tide.
After a long while, Zhu Zhengting slowly stopped crying. He raised his head and looked at Zhu Tianyuan who was standing not far away with tearful eyes. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes, as if he had just discovered his existence.
Zhu Tianyuan opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something. After a long while, he squeezed out a sentence: "Zhengting, you..."
Zhu Zhengting did not respond to him, but stood up silently, patted the dust off his body, with a look of stubbornness and indifference in his eyes, and turned to leave.
Seeing this, Zhu Tianyuan hurried forward a few steps, grabbed Zhu Zhengting's arm, and said, "Zhengting, don't leave yet, let's... have a good chat."
Zhu Zhengting stopped and looked at Zhu Tianyuan coldly, saying, "What are you talking about? After all these years, you want to talk to me now?"
Zhu Tianyuan lowered his head, a look of guilt on his face, and said, "Zhengting, Dad is sorry for you. Over the years... Dad has neglected you too much."
Zhu Zhengting's heart moved. He didn't expect Zhu Tianyuan to say such a thing, but he still insisted: "Huh, what's the point of saying this now? What were you doing before?"
At this moment, some servants of the Zhu family also heard the noise and rushed over. Seeing the situation of the head of the family and Zhu Zhengting, they stood aside tactfully and did not dare to say a word.
Zhu Tianyuan looked at Zhu Zhengting, sighed, and said, "Zhengting, whether you believe it or not, I've been thinking a lot these days. Seeing how you've changed over the past few days, Dad feels bad too. Seeing you like this again today... Dad knows that you've suffered too much injustice over the years."
However, in response to what Zhu Tianyuan said, Zhu Zhengting snorted coldly.
"Dad, do you think these few simple words of yours can make me forget the injustices I've suffered over the past decade? Or are you still planning to use your authority as the head of the Zhu family to stop me?"
His rebuttal was like a sharp sword piercing Zhu Tianyuan's heart, making him heartbroken.
Zhu Tianyuan listened to Zhu Zhengting's rebuttal, which was full of grievances, and felt even more guilty. He spoke slowly, his voice full of regret: "Zhengting, it was Dad's fault. Your mother died because of complications during childbirth. Dad was confused for a moment and blamed all the grief and resentment on you. But now that I think about it, aren't you innocent too?"
Zhu Zhengting felt a mixture of emotions when he heard this. He felt very uncomfortable. With red eyes, he asked:
"Then you let outsiders bully me. How can you be so worthy of my mother by doing this? If she knew you treated me like this, she would be so heartbroken!"
Zhu Tianyuan looked painful, lowered his head and said:
"Dad was really confused at the time and made a big mistake. But don't worry, Dad promises that from now on, no one will bully you again. Dad will protect you and make up for all the things I owe you over the years."
When Zhu Zhengting heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Things are indeed going according to Mr. Lu's plan.
But he remained expressionless, and instead retreated to advance, pretending to be indifferent and said:
"No need. I've gotten used to it over the years. I won't come to this mansion anymore, so as to avoid making your wife and son unhappy and thinking that I want to compete with them for the position of head of the family." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Zhu Tianyuan looked at his son's lonely figure, his heart ached suddenly, and the face of his beloved wife appeared in his mind again.
He rushed forward, grabbed Zhu Zhengting, and hugged him tightly in his arms, saying with a choked voice:
"Zhengting, you are my own son. If anyone dares to speak nonsense, I will tear his mouth apart."
"Starting tomorrow, you will begin to be involved in the family business. I will restore all your rights as the eldest young master of the Zhu family. Dad wants everyone to know that you have a very important position in the Zhu family. I will never let you suffer any grievances again."
Zhu Zhengting's body froze due to the sudden hug. After a moment, he slowly raised his hand and gently patted Zhu Tianyuan on the back. A complex look flashed in his eyes, including surprise, touching, and a sense of relief after the grievances that had been suppressed for many years were released.
At this moment, the servants watching this scene couldn't help but be secretly shocked. They knew that the Zhu family was going to be in great trouble from now on.
After all, before this, the only one who could be treated like this by the head of the family was the young master Zhu Zhenglin, and now, the eldest master has actually returned to the core of the Zhu family.
There can only be one head of the Zhu family, and there will definitely be a fight between the two.
