Chapter 285: Chapter 284: Sheng Zexi Always Thought He Had Long Since Given Up Hoping for His Father’s Love

"Do Xingxing want to tell Grandpa?" Sheng Zexi touched his head and asked.

Xingxing nodded.

"If you want to tell, just tell him."

Xingxing had this idea, which didn’t surprise Sheng Zexi.

These past two months, the old man should have been very attentive to Xingxing.

Although his relationship with the old man wasn’t good, Sheng Zexi would never extend the relationships and grudges of his generation to the next generation.

Besides, having one more person who is kind to his children, why not?

Thus, Sheng Xinhao quickly found out that his son Sheng Zexi had come to Beijing and would be taking Xingxing and Yueyue back tomorrow.

"This kid, doesn’t he know to bring Xingxing, Yueyue, and his wife back home, and just leaves as soon as he comes!"

"Why tell me? What, am I supposed to see them off?"

"I’m not going!"

Sheng Xinhao grumbled angrily, continuing to complain.

-

The next morning, Grandpa Sang couldn’t take time off, so Grandma Sang had to take the guards to see off Sheng Zexi’s family.

Outside the train station, people were coming and going, very lively.

Xingxing and Yueyue were looking around, seemingly expecting something, just not seeing the person they were hoping for.

Sheng Zexi frowned.

He naturally knew that Xingxing and Yueyue were waiting for the old man.

It seems he overestimated the old man’s magnanimity.

Originally, he thought that at least for Xingxing and Yueyue’s sake he would come, but didn’t imagine...

So, after saying goodbye to Grandma Sang, the family was about to leave by train.

Just then, a voice suddenly came urgently from outside.

"Xingxing, Yueyue..."

Xingxing and Yueyue quickly turned around to see Sheng Xinhao getting off the car.

"Grandpa..." The two little ones hurried over, and Sheng Zexi quickly followed to protect them.

Seeing Grandpa Sheng Xinhao arrive, the dim expression on Xingxing and Yueyue vanished, and their eyes looked brightly at Sheng Xinhao.

Sheng Xinhao let the guards take down many things from the car, all of which were given to Xingxing and Yueyue.

"These are gifts from Grandpa for you."

"And these are for your mom..." Sheng Xinhao added at the end.

As he spoke, he also glanced at Sheng Zexi from the corner of his eye.

Seeing Sheng Zexi not reacting, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After getting close to Xingxing and Yueyue and saying goodbye, Sheng Xinhao looked at Sheng Zexi, "Can we chat alone?"

Sheng Zexi frowned at the old man in front of him, originally wanting to refuse, but when his gaze reached the slightly grizzled temples, he held back.

"Then let’s chat."

Sheng Zexi got into Sheng Xinhao’s car, the father and son sat in the back seat, with only them in the car, while the guards were outside.

The closed car door shut out the noisy sound from outside.

The car was very quiet.

Neither of them spoke, being alone with Sheng Xinhao in such close quarters was a first in years for Sheng Zexi, making him very uncomfortable.

Just when Sheng Zexi was about to be unable to stay, the person beside him spoke.

"A Xi, I’m sorry."

Sheng Zexi’s body froze, and his fist instinctively tightened, lips pressed together, looking straight ahead, saying nothing.

"All these years, I’ve been misled by Fang Wanrong, I was old and muddleheaded, I shouldn’t have doubted you, nor should I have been so forceful, always thinking of forcing you."

"I also did wrong by your mom, I prided myself on loving her deeply, yet I remarried less than a year after she passed."

"And I was biased, it’s rightful you resent me."

"Before, I thought my actions were for your good, but then one day, I heard Xingxing say: Not all ’for your good’ is truly good. Only then did I realize how wrong I had been all these years."

"So, A Xi, it’s rightful you resent me."

"Dad, I’m sorry to you."

Sheng Zexi’s eyes still fixed forward, yet if you looked closely, you’d notice his eyes were slightly red.

The hand he clenched was getting tighter.

Sheng Zexi had never expected to hear an apology from his father in this lifetime.

He once thought he might never hear it.

Because his father was so proud, so assertive.

Even if one day, he realized he was wrong.

He would still stubbornly keep his head up, refusing to admit his mistake.

But now, suddenly, he heard it.

Sheng Zexi thought that after all these years, he had no longer expected love from his father.

But now he discovered...

Turns out...

No matter how strong a child is inside, they can never get past the hurdle of parental love.

Realizing this, Sheng Zexi despised himself.

He sneered lightly, "Do you think all apologies can be forgiven?"

"Do you think with an apology, all the hurt disappears?"

"That everything can go back to how it was?"

Sheng Xinhao looked at his son, who was still staring straight ahead, unwilling to even glance at him.

He finally realized how deep the hurt to this son had been over the years.

Unable to hold back any longer, tears fell from the eyes of the always proud man.

"You’re right, not all apologies can be forgiven."

"I can apologize, and you can choose not to forgive."

"In the past, I thought that with my life experience and ideas, I could choose a good path for my child."

"But the truth showed that times change, people change, my so-called experience and ideas became obsolete."

"A Xi, actually, you’ve always been great."

"Except for being a little disobedient, really, you’ve always been great."

"You became a brigade-level officer at such a young age, married such an outstanding wife, and have such smart and clever children."

Sheng Zexi lightly snorted, "My choices are naturally the right ones."

Sheng Zexi didn’t expect, not only could he hear an apology from his father today, but also see him praised.

He thought that in the stubborn old man’s heart, his abilities, choices, and everything would never be recognized or praised.

"From now on, I won’t interfere with your matters."

"The Sheng Family, you can come back if you want, or not if you don’t."

"Ultimately, it still belongs to you."

"It’s your home too."

...

After Sheng Zexi got in the car, Gu Jia Ning took Xingxing and Yueyue to eat some egg cake.

When they finished eating, they saw Sheng Zexi coming out alone.

Although Sheng Zexi looked like his usual self, Gu Jia Ning still noticed his mood seemed very stirred up.

Gu Jia Ning walked over, holding his hand.

"Are you alright?"

Seeing the worry in Gu Jia Ning’s eyes, Sheng Zexi shook his head, "I’m okay."

"That’s good."

Sheng Xinhao in the car didn’t come out again; after Sheng Zexi got on the train with his family, the car finally left the train station.

"To the cemetery where Madam is." Sheng Xinhao said in the car.
