Chapter 2974: The Price of Returning
"Dad? Which dad?"
Chen Ziyi looked at Chen Pingan in confusion and asked doubtfully.
"Chen Mo, our biological father." Chen Pingan murmured with a wandering look.
"what?"
Chen Zhenzhen was stunned for a moment, then her face suddenly darkened: "Is it Chen Mo who hurt everyone so badly?"
"Yes, that's him."
Chen Pingan swallowed his saliva and said in a trembling voice, "Just now, the official called and said that Chen Mo was among the missing people on Flight 914, and asked us to go and take him home."
"what?!"
The brothers and sisters' faces suddenly changed and they couldn't eat anymore.
Mother Gong Ziyuan has exhausted all her efforts on the broken company left by Chen Mo, and has been mentally exhausted from the torture.
This gentle and beautiful woman has wasted her best years.
Not only that, Chen Mo also left his grandparents to be taken care of by Gong Ziyuan.
In addition, the families of godmother Chen Lin and godmother Zhuge Wan'er were implicated by Chen Mo and fell from the peak to the bottom.
It can be said that this family is filled with hatred whenever they mention this cheap dad.
Liu Yan also looked at Chen Pingan with a complicated expression.
After thinking it over again and again, she finally said, "Ping An, everyone is already very tired of living now.
The third sister started picking up scraps to supplement the family income.
If we add another mouth, I'm afraid..."
Chen Xile immediately said: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, my brother is not stupid!
He won't cause himself unnecessary trouble.
Right? Second brother?
"Hmm? Second brother? You...you wouldn't want to consider taking him back, right?"
Everyone else also looked at Chen Pingan.
Chen Pingan pursed his lips, sighed and said, "I know you all hate him.
I hate that he didn't fulfill his responsibilities as a father.
I hate him for causing our mother to suffer so much.
But if he were to ask himself, disappearing on the plane that year was not the result he wanted!
If I disappeared on a plane one day and came back 20 years later, and saw that my own children regarded me as an enemy, I would definitely feel wronged! "
“He didn’t do anything, it was just an accident.
If he had been in a car accident and turned into a vegetable, and only woke up 20 years later, would you hate him so much?"
The Chen family was silent.
Yes, although they resented their father, Chen Mo was actually also very aggrieved.
In fact, Chen Mo really didn't do anything, he just took that flight!
"Second brother, what do you think we should do?" Chen Ziyi asked.
Chen Pingan looked at the Chen family who seemed to regard him as the backbone, and sighed: "Emotionally speaking, I don't want this irresponsible cheap father to come back.
But he is our father after all, even if his bones are broken, his tendons are still connected!
He had been missing for 20 years and suddenly traveled back through time and space. It was more difficult for him to adapt to today's society than those prisoners who had been in prison for 20 years.
Logically speaking, as his children, we should help him.
Even if we don't help, do you think our mother can help him?
Our mother's current mental state cannot be stimulated any further.
How sad would she be if she knew that we, her children, would not recognize the man she had been thinking about for 20 years?
For a moment, the Chen family fell silent again.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was extremely depressing.
Liu Yan took the chopsticks and stirred the rice in the bowl silently. Although she didn't say anything, it was obvious that she was not very happy.
"Well, let's discuss how to settle Chen Mo.
Vote to resolve.
Raise your hands if you agree to take Chen Mo home. "
Chen Pingan raised his hand first.
Chen Zhenzhen hesitated for a moment and slowly raised her hand.
Chen Ziyi hesitated slightly, but still raised her hand.
Although kind-hearted Chen Ziyi complained every day about Chen Mo's irresponsibility and the fact that he had implicated many people, she still felt that it was too pitiful for a person who had not been in contact with society for 20 years to suddenly come back and not be recognized by his family.
Chen Xile glanced at Liu Yan's ugly face and didn't raise his hand, which he wanted to do.
Anyway, the result has been decided, so it doesn’t matter whether he votes or not.
Chen Pingan saw it and sighed in his heart.
In fact, he knew that everyone, like him, longed for the fatherly love that had been missing for 20 years.
At the same time, everyone also wants their mother to completely let go of her obsession, move on from the past, and have a good rest.
Chen Pingan nodded: "Okay, if that's the case, then let's go pick up Chen Mo and take him home."
Liu Yan didn't say anything, but silently got up and took the bowl back to the bedroom.
Chen Pingan looked at Liu Yan with great guilt, thinking that he must work harder in the future so that his wife could live a good life sooner.
……
……
Inside the hotel.
Chen Mo was getting impatient waiting and asked, "Hasn't my wife been contacted?"
Feng Youwei shook her head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, Miss Gong hasn't answered the phone yet."
"It's almost dark, and the people on Flight 914 are almost gone. If no one comes, can I go back by myself?" Chen Mo said.
"If no one comes, we will arrange the actors. Don't worry, we will definitely let you leave today." Feng Youwei arrived.
Chen Mo smoked a cigarette helplessly.
I understand it, but seeing other people reunited with their families while I still have to wait and cooperate with the performance, Chen Mo feels really tired!
At this time, Feng Youwei's cell phone rang.
After answering the phone, Feng Youwei smiled and said, "Mr. Chen, your family said they are coming to pick you up."
"My family? My parents?" Chen Mo asked puzzledly.
"No, it's your four children." Feng Youwei said.
Only then did Chen Mo remember that he had a child!
"Wait...you said four children?"
Chen Mo asked in confusion, "I know my eldest daughter, Chen Zhenzhen, but when I disappeared, my wife was clearly pregnant with twins, so where did the fourth child come from?
She remarried?"
"They weren't twins, they were triplets. It's just that medical conditions were limited at the time, and the triplets weren't separated when they were still embryos, so they weren't detected."
Feng Youwei explained.
"So this is ah."
Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
If Gong Ziyuan remarried, he could understand it, but he couldn't accept it.
"Also, there is some very sad news."
Feng Youwei sighed and said, "Your father, Chen Feng, passed away from excessive grief three years after your disappearance. Please accept my condolences."
Suddenly, Chen Mo's expression was shocked, his body swayed a little, and he was heartbroken.
In his previous life, his father worried about him and was humiliated and tortured by Tang Mengmeng. In the end, he didn't even have a decent funeral.
In this life, he had just lived a good life for a few years, but he died unexpectedly.
For a moment, Chen Mo's emotions collapsed and his eyes were blank.
Suddenly he remembered what the "author" of this world had said in that mysterious space: "Your price is that you will not stay in one time and space for too long.
You never know how far into the past or future the next time jump will be.
The one you love and the one who loves you will never be able to stay with you forever."
The Fool paid a terrible "price" to gain eternal life.
In order to come back, Chen Mo also has to pay a "price".
Is my father’s death one of the “prices”?
