I was released, and all those who came to congratulate me were old friends.

A group of people were chatting and laughing, and the appearance of one person was beyond my expectations.

"Dad." Natalia, who was standing next to me, walked over.

"Come on, let me hug my grandson!" DuPont Belmondo hugged Vapori from Natalia's arms.

It was really a surprise that Old DuPont appeared at this time. If this old guy had nothing to do, he wouldn't have appeared in Los Angeles at all. Based on my understanding of him, it is unlikely that he would come to congratulate him this time because I was acquitted.

Others can drive out such things, but Old DuPont will never do it, and he will not do things that have nothing to do with his interests.

I stood by the side with my wine glass, looking up and down.

Today, he seems to be different from before. He is wearing a black suit, a cigarette in his mouth, no hat on his head, and some gray hair is fluttering in the wind, a little messy.

The one in front of DuPont Belmondo has changed a lot from before. As for what has changed, I can't say it clearly for a while, but I just feel that his temperament is a little different.

In the past, he was very domineering, cunning, and ruthless. The pressure he showed would make anyone who dealt with him feel tight. This is the representative style of DuPont Belmondo. It is the temperament that has been dissolved into the bones after decades of bloody storms.

If the consortiums on Wall Street are selected, who is the most charming chaebol, it is probably worthy of DuPont Belmondo on the list. In terms of capital, he may not be the most, not as good as Jack Morgan, but in terms of personal temperament and personal style, few chaebols on Wall Street are his opponents.

Many people are very nervous when dealing with him, because in their appearance, DuPont Belmondo is definitely a viper. He will make you lose everything without realizing it, making you cry without tears.

In his life, there are few failures and years of hardships, which makes DuPont Belmondo reveal his temperament and his domineering aura very obvious. I appreciate his temperament on one hand. On the other hand, I think this is also one of the charms of this old man.

Sometimes, I feel that DuPont Belmondo is a little unkind, a little disagreeable, and a little useless. But more often, I respect him very much because I know that if a person can form such a temperament, it will be quite difficult.

But today, this temperament seems to have disappeared, the sharpness and domineeringness of DuPont Belmondo. This old man even looks a little old.

This is not what I remembered about DuPont Belmondo.

Old Dupont hugged Vapori and teased him and smiled. Although he and Vapori were two grandparents and grandchildren, Vapori had little impression of Old Dupont, so he was not interested in him and kept doing a lot.

But Old DuPont held Waboli and kept kissing Waboli's face with his lips pouted and his eyes were moist.

Vapori pushed him and screamed.

Old DuPont was a little embarrassed and finally had to hand over Vapori to Natalia.

"Vapori doesn't seem to like me." Old DuPont looked at Vapori and murmured to himself, his expression suddenly became a little lonely.

Looking at the old man in front of me, my heart trembled.

Now DuPont Belmondo seems to have lost all his strength at once. For such a person, something must have happened.

"Dad, you can't meet Vapori a few times a year, so he naturally doesn't know you anymore." Natalia said with a smile.

"Yes. Mr. DuPont, you should learn from me in this regard. Look at me, I stick with Adolf almost every day, and this little guy won't be able to leave me now." Next to me, Marskolov and Adolf's grandchildren were having fun. Adolf hugged Marskolov's neck and slept particularly sweetly. Marskolov was so happy that his eyebrows were shaking, and his eyebrows were filled with happiness.

"Yes, yes." Looking at the room where Marskolov and Adolf made DuPont Belmondo a little sour.

DuPont Belmond nodded, and then walked to the steps under Gans' leadership.

"Andre. Why do I feel that my dad has changed a little?" Looking at DuPont Belmondo's back, Natalia came over and whispered.

"Oh, what has changed?" I asked.

"I can't explain it very clearly, I just feel that my father has become older this time." Natalia looked at Old DuPont and her expression became a little sad.

Old DuPont has many children, and this person does not value family affection very much, which also leads to the weak family affection of the DuPont family. Natalia had basically not much father-daughter relationship with Old DuPont before. In the words of Old DuPont, he did this to cultivate the spirit of independence of children, let them learn to live by themselves, struggle by themselves, and experience the ups and downs of life by themselves.

So the children of old DuPont were thrown out to exercise when they were underage, and boys were like this, and girls were like this. When Natalia and I first met, the relationship between them and old DuPont was largely like a superior and subordinate, and the family affection was so thin that I was shocked.

I am very dispelling and even critical of the style of the DuPont family. The family style of the Corleone family is completely opposite to the style of the DuPont family. In our family, family affection is always the first priority. In my opinion, what is people living for? It is not for money, not for power, but for the perfection and happiness of the family. If you give up family affection and family for the so-called career, for the so-called money, give up family, it is completely putting the cart before the horse.

Therefore, my concept is also slowly affecting Natalia. Since Natalia was with me, especially after we got married and had children, Natalia's attitude towards old DuPont has gradually changed.

Natalia has lived in the family tradition of the DuPont family for a long time. After getting married, she cherishes the family affection in her family. In this experience of family affection, Natalia's original concept of family is also changing. At least she is becoming more and more kinship towards old DuPont, and this kind of family affection is sincere.

In the past, Natalia basically didn't call her old DuPont's father, and she didn't talk to the phone at all, let alone greetings. But now, the father and daughter also make phone calls. Although they have a lot of time and talk to each other, they are nothing more than Vapoli, but their relationship has indeed changed substantially compared to before.

Natalia learned to care about her family and to be considerate of her family. This is what I am very proud of.

It is said that no one knows his father, but Natalia can naturally notice the incident of DuPont today.

"I think the old man is a little abnormal today. I'm afraid something happened. I'll ask later." I patted Natalia's back.

When we arrived in the room, everyone sat down one after another. There were not many people in the room. Besides these three, I, Gans and Coolidge were old DuPont and Natalia.

"Andre, it is a good thing that you can come out safely this time. A good thing." Old DuPont looked at me and nodded.

"It's also lucky. Otherwise, I would have been caught." I sat in front of Old DuPont, then took out a cigarette and lit it for him.

Old DuPont waved his hand and said, "Wapoly is here, so I won't smoke anymore. Smoking is not good for the child."

His words immediately made me open my glasses.

Old DuPont has completely changed his personal life today. He actually knows how to think about others. Usually, he doesn’t care about so many things if he wants to.

"Dad..." Natalia sat next to Old DuPont and looked at him, a little worried.

Old DuPont smiled, looked at Natalia and Vapori, and became silent.

"Is there something wrong?" I asked in a low voice as I looked at Old DuPont.

Old DuPont was stunned. He turned his head and looked out the window without saying a word.

A gust of wind blew, and a strong wind blew into the room, showing the silence inside the room.

The old DuPont in front of me looked sad. I have known him for so long and have never seen this expression.

"Dad, what happened? Tell me quickly, maybe Andre can help." Natalia became anxious.

Old DuPont lowered his head, looked at Natalia, and looked at his daughter. His eyes became moist.

"Natalia Natalia..." Old DuPont muttered Natalia's name, and she burst into tears.

Everyone in the room was stunned because no matter what, everyone had never seen Old DuPont cry. Old DuPont was the kind of person who knocked his teeth and swallowed it into his stomach. It was really difficult to make him cry.

"If there is anything I can help, I'm happy." I spread my hands.

"Yes, Dad, what happened to make you sad?" Natalia said, pulling old DuPont's hand.

"Natalia, am I a bastard father? Do I care too little about you? Am I not worthy of being a father?" Old DuPont burst into tears and murmured to himself.

His series of problems completely shocked Natalia.

Not only Natalia alone, I was stunned. I wouldn't be surprised if I said this from anyone's mouth, but if I hadn't heard it from Old DuPont's mouth, I wouldn't believe it at all.

When did Old DuPont learn to examine himself? And it was about family issues.

"Dad, you are..." Natalia said in surprise.

Old DuPont choked and said, "In my life, I only know how to make money, and only know the consortium. It seems that I have never cared about you. I don't know your birthday, what you think in your heart, what you like and what you don't like, I often can't even remember the appearance of you people. Natalia, I'm not a good father, forgive me."

"Dad. What's wrong with you? We don't hate you." Natalia stroked old DuPont's hand and comforted her.

"Dad, is something happened?" Natalia asked.

Old DuPont fell silent in tears.

Vapori in Natalia's arms saw Old DuPont crying, crawled over and whispered Old DuPont's tears.

Looking at the grandson in his arms, old DuPont burst into tears. He hugged Vapori and kissed him, but he was no longer willing to let go.

This scene happened in front of me made me more sure that something must have happened.

"Natalia, your brother Bob is dead. Dead." Old Dupont hugged Vapori and suddenly said something that surprised Natalia and I.

"What? Dad, say it again?!" Natalia was a little unbelievable in her ears.

"Bob is dead! Just this morning. The news I just received!" Old Dupont wiped his tears.

Natalia was stunned for a moment.

The emotions between the children of Old DuPont are not very deep. Old DuPont has five daughters and two sons, and most of them are married. The daughters are splashed with water when they are married. Old DuPont basically has no feelings for those daughters, and Natalia is an exception. Old DuPont still loves this daughter a little.

As for the two sons of Old DuPont, although Old DuPont has not been concerned about them much, it is obvious that both the DuPont Consortium and the outside world regard these two sons as the successors of Old DuPont, and the DuPont Consortium will be the head of the future.

Among these two sons, the youngest son is a guy who is rich and can't do anything serious, or just drink and find women to make trouble and beat the police. He is completely a prodigal son. Old DuPont was safely disappointed and abandoned his son, and he didn't care about him at all, and he didn't let him participate in family affairs. Later, the guy couldn't make it in the United States anymore. Old DuPont looked at him upset and sent him to the United Kingdom. When the guy got there, he was still living and drinking and completely degenerated.

The eldest son is the one that Old DuPont values ​​the most. The name Bob is a favorite name, and it is the name of Old DuPont when he was young. When he used his own name to call his son, it can be seen that Old DuPont values ​​this son.

Although Old DuPont's educational method is cold and the relationship with his eldest son is like a relationship between superiors and subordinates, Bob is of no doubt about the importance of Old DuPont.

Bob is also capable. He is in his thirties. He manages the DuPont consortium in an orderly manner and is the most important helper of old DuPont. I don’t have many opportunities to meet with this brother-in-law, because we are largely a car running on two roads, but he left a deep impression on me.

Compared with Old DuPont, Bob has a different personality. At least he is not as cold-blooded as Old DuPont. He loves Natalia very much and takes good care of his family. It can be said that he is the only person in the DuPont family who also values ​​family affection.

Being capable and kind, this is my impression of Bob.

Natalia naturally has a lot of feelings for this brother.

But now Old DuPont tells us that Bob is dead. This is simply a bolt from the blue.

"Impossible! Dad! You lied to me! You were biased against me! I don't believe it! I don't believe it!" Natalia looked at Old DuPont and her tears were instantly flowing.

Old Dupont hugged Vapori and was already crying.

"Natalia Natalia, this is God's punishment for me! I have never cared about my family in my life, and I have never cared about my family. So in my old age, God wants me to taste the pain of losing my son! This is a punishment!" Old Dupont burst into tears, hugging Vapori, and burst into tears!

The scene in front of me made me feel helpless. It was really impossible for anyone to imagine that such a thing happened to the DuPont family.

Bob's death simply killed Old DuPont. When he was young, Old DuPont might not be able to realize that his family is important, but as he gets older, his needs for his family will increase in height.
