Cheng Zhi has achieved high achievements in his career, but he has a huge regret in his life, that is, his biological son Cheng Qian did not finally call him a father until he died, because Cheng Qian was passed to his second uncle 15 days after he was born, and Cheng Zhi was not willing to hand over his biological flesh and blood to others to raise.
Helplessly, his second brother asked his old mother to come forward, and Cheng Zhi, who has always been a filial son, had to nod and agree to pass the second son Cheng Qian to the second brother and sister-in-law who could not have children. The mother told Cheng Zhi, "Even if the child is passed on to your second brother, it can't change the fact that you are the child's biological father." ”
Cheng Zhi himself didn't expect that this gift would be a lifetime, and he never got along with Cheng Qian as a father and son from then on.
