Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets novel Chapter 343

Chapter 343: Chapter 343: Father and Daughter

"Hualian?" Lian He’s gift fell to the ground with a clang.

The person he thought he’d never see again in his life was standing right in front of him. Lian He was both shocked and excited. He quickly stepped forward, took Zhang Hualian’s hand, and stammered, "I’m sorry, Hualian, I...you...didn’t Hua Feng say you had married and moved away?"

"I came to Shuanghe Town to find you, I..."

Lian He had so much to say but didn’t know where to start.

"Let go." Tang Zhengde didn’t care who Lian He was; holding Zhang Hualian’s hand, his wife’s hand, was unacceptable to him.

Tang Zhengde forcefully pried Lian He’s hands off, protectively positioned Zhang Hualian behind him, and looked at Lian He defensively, asking, "Who are you? Don’t you know there should be boundaries between men and women?"

While holding Zhang Hualian’s hand, Tang Zhengde rubbed it, seemingly trying to wipe off Lian He’s touch.

Zhang Hualian was both annoyed and amused. Seeing Lian He had initially shocked her, but now she gradually calmed down.

"I am Lian He, I once was..." Lian He said excitedly, then paused halfway.

What was he once?

"Lian He, you left for twenty years, why come back now?" Zhang Hualian’s gaze fell on Lian He. In the past, her nearly suicidal despair over his departure had been mitigated only by the child she carried, or she might not have survived to this day.

Back then, she had believed his promises, thinking he would return to marry her, but that wait turned into years.

"I..." Lian He mumbled, took a deep breath, mentally replied to Zhang Hualian, and facing her gaze, he didn’t even dare to look directly into her eyes.

Even though twenty years had passed, Zhang Hualian’s eyes were still beautiful, large and expressive. Her appearance hadn’t changed much; the youthful beauty had just evolved into a more mature charm.

Time had lent Zhang Hualian a beauty marked by additional grace compared to her younger days.

"Hualian, he is that person from back then..." Tang Zhengde didn’t know what adjective to use to describe Lian He, struggled for a bit before saying, "That educated youth?"

"Yes." Zhang Hualian nodded.

Tang Zhengde instantly disliked him.

"Dad, you know Aunt Tang?" Lian Qingyang asked in surprise.

Lian He remained silent, thinking that he and Zhang Hualian were more than just acquaintances.

"Hualian, can I speak with you alone?" Lian He took a deep breath, his gaze fell on Zhang Hualian.

"We have nothing to talk about," Zhang Hualian rejected bluntly without a second thought.

Lian He continued, "Hualian, I specifically came here to find you..." Lian He lowered his stance, he was the one at fault back then.

"No need." Zhang Hualian coldly stated.

In some ways, Tang Yue’s temperament was influenced by Zhang Hualian, who usually seemed gentle but was actually very stubborn, which led to the existence of Tang Yue.

At the entrance to the house, Tang Yue heard the noise and walked out, just in time to see Lian He.

Yesterday, he had been arrogant and domineering, but today, he seemed like a completely changed person, humbling himself to the dust.

Lian He, that educated youth from the past, also meant that Lian He was her biological father.

How absurd.

In the past life, her mother suffered all her life without seeing her biological father; now, neither she nor her mother had expected or even thought of him, yet he showed up.
