Guo Xuehua smiled gently and explained: "It's like this, because the old man has a special status, the meals he eats are specially made."
Chen Qiangwei immediately understood.
Looking at the table filled with delicious food, Lin Yi couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
"Kid, do you want to have a taste? Don't hold it back." The old man looked up at Lin Yi and said.
Lin Yi was not going to be polite with him, thinking to himself, if you let me eat, you’re done, you probably won’t be able to eat many bites of this meal.
"Eat, of course I eat. If you don't take advantage of a good opportunity, you'd be a fool." Lin Yi ate without restraint, looking as if he hadn't eaten for three months.
While the old man took two pieces of food with his chopsticks, Lin Yi had already cleared the food on the table and looked at the old man with a little pride.
The old man shook his head and chuckled, but he was not angry. He clapped his hands again, and a group of people came in and cleared away the dishes. Another group of people came in, dragging plates, and set up another table.
Lin Yi: “…”
"Boy, did you choose the name Lin Yi yourself? Or was it given to you by someone else?"
Lin Yi smoked a cigarette after dinner and said indifferently: "It's just a code name, you can call me anything."
The old man immediately frowned and said unhappily, "Bullshit, the Lin family name is your roots. You are so ungrateful, I will not tolerate you."
Seeing that the old man was angry, Lin Yi was not anxious. He continued to act like he deserved a beating and said, "I'm sorry, but I'm an exception. I'm the one who was abandoned by the roots. It's not that I don't read my roots, it's that others despise me."
Upon hearing this, the old man put down his chopsticks heavily and was speechless.
Guo Xuehua, who had not spoken for a long time, had a burning light in her eyes. She was extremely anxious every moment and every second, wishing she could tell the truth to everyone immediately.
But Lin Yi's nonchalant attitude made her feel confused and heartbroken.
"Lin Yi, you should know the reason why we are here today." Guo Xuehua's eyes fell on the blood relationship identification book on the table, and after a slight hesitation, he continued to stare at Lin Yi.
"I know." Lin Yi stared at Guo Xuehua calmly.
"Then I'll just say it straight."
Upon hearing this, Chen Qiangwei intended to turn around and leave.
"Qiangwei, don't go. You need to listen to these things." Chen Qiangwei was a little surprised and sat down uneasily.
She was well aware of how powerful the old man sitting in front of her was.
Guo Xuehua took a deep breath, organized his words, and his eyes seemed to have returned to a long time ago.
"You were born out of my accidental pregnancy. You may not understand it now, but in that era, getting pregnant before marriage was a shame for the family."
Guo Xuehua had just finished teaching the first sentence.
The most shocked person was naturally Chen Qiangwei.
She couldn't close her mouth for a long time, staring at Lin Yi, and found that he had a calm expression, as if he had known about this for a long time.
"At that time, I thought about aborting the child, but my father-in-law stopped me. He wanted me to give birth to the child, saying that this is the blood of the Lin family and cannot be easily wiped out."
"But the Lin family was facing an unprecedented crisis at that time, and your birth would be the last straw that broke the camel's back."
"I didn't dare give birth to you in a grand manner, so I gave birth to you secretly and left you in front of an orphanage, leaving your fate to God."
"Although such a long time has passed, I have never stopped looking for you. By chance, I learned that you were taken to Jining Village, but when I went to look for you again, I found that you were gone."
"Now I know that you had already dropped out of high school and joined the army at that time."
