Very soon, the car arrived at the cetery.
Sheng Xinhao was helped out of the car by a guard.
He quickly arrived in front of Sang Yuwan’s tombstone.
Looking at the beautiful woman in the black-and-white photo on the tombstone.
Sheng Xinhao slowly knelt down.
"A Wan, I’m sorry."
"All these years, I’ve let you down, and I’ve let A Xi down."
"You probably bla a lot down there."
Sheng Xinhao’s right hand covered his left, his face growing paler as he endured the severe pain from his left hand.
"It’s okay, A Wan, you have every right to bla ."
"When my ti cos, you can hit , you can scold , just... don’t ignore ."
"A Wan, rest assured, A Xi is doing well now, he has a family of his own, and everything I have is left to him."
"Although he might not care much, ultimately, we are father and son, and I have hurt him so much over the years, it’s only right to make ands."
As Sheng Xinhao spoke, tears fell at this mont.
In the past, Sheng Xinhao always thought he was above others, unwilling to admit his mistakes.
But it was precisely because of this unwillingness to admit, that he missed out on so much and lost so much.
Now that he finally opened his mouth to admit his mistakes, he discovered that admitting mistakes wasn’t that hard.
At that mont, the severe pain in his left arm returned.
The guard in the distance saw Sheng Xinhao collapse straight to the ground.
"Officer!"
-
The train chugged forward.
This ti, Sheng Zexi still bought a sleeper ticket.
Because he added a place for his grandfather’s guard, he bought out the opposite sleeper tickets as well.
This made it feel much more spacious.
Sheng Zexi couldn’t deny that the words of Sheng Xinhao had an impact on him.
Gu Jia Ning also noticed that from the mont they boarded the train, her husband seed normal but was exceptionally quiet.
When they were settled, Gu Jia Ning leaned over, taking his hand, trying to give him strength.
Sheng Zexi pulled his gaze from the window back, staring at Gu Jia Ning, and held her hand in return.
"I’m sorry for worrying you."
Gu Jia Ning shook her head, "Did he say sothing unpleasant?"
If that were the case, Gu Jia Ning would surely be upset.
But Sheng Zexi shook his head and then recounted what Sheng Xinhao had said to him on the train.
"I never thought he would apologize to one day."
"Nor did I expect that he would recognize one day."
Thinking about it, Sheng Zexi found it unbelievable.
Gu Jia Ning suddenly understood; so that’s how it was.
It seed that her father-in-law had truly changed.
"Isn’t this a good thing?"
Actually, she knew, Brother Xi also hoped to gain his father’s recognition.
"There’s a picture of Daddy!"
At this mont, Yueyue’s childish voice sounded from beside them.
Sheng Zexi turned back, hearing Yueyue continue, "At the old house, on the table, there’s a picture fra, inside there’s Daddy, there’s Grandma..."
Xingxing nodded along, "I saw Grandpa holding the fra, crying secretly."
Xingxing and Yueyue had visited Sang Yuwan’s tomb before.
So they recognized the woman in the Sheng Family’s old house’s fra as Grandma Sang Yuwan.
The photo had three people.
There was Grandma, a young Grandpa, and Daddy.
Sheng Zexi was montarily in a daze, then rembered there indeed was such a photo.
The photo was taken a week before his mom passed away, the family of three had gone to take it together.
But later due to his mom’s passing, he forgot about that photo.
Unexpectedly, it was with the old man all this ti.
All along, he kept it.
All along he would look at the picture and cry secretly...
Sheng Zexi’s emotions were extrely mixed.
Just then, the train conductor suddenly ca over to Sheng Zexi’s side.
"Sheng Group, your father’s guard called us, seems like there’s sothing important."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Zexi imdiately stood up, quickly giving a few instructions, then hurriedly left with the conductor.
Gu Jia Ning watched his hurried back, her brows furrowing.
It seed like only a minute had passed, when she saw Sheng Zexi hurrying back, his face not looking well, his eyes slightly red.
At the sight of Gu Jia Ning, he grabbed her hand, "Ningning, my Dad has fainted."
"The guard said it’s his left arm acting up."
"The doctor checked, said he delayed too long, now it’s very dangerous, he might be facing amputation, even life-threatening."
"They say he needs surgery urgently, but, they have no confidence."
As he spoke, Sheng Zexi’s eyes reddened even further.
Gu Jia Ning imdiately stood up, "Then what are we waiting for, let’s hurry and turn back."
Sheng Zexi was stunned.
Gu Jia Ning patted his hand, "I’ll take over, I’ll go see what’s going on."
"Brother Xi, since he has apologized, you should also make peace with yourself."
If they chose to ignore it, Gu Jia Ning knew, this matter would surely stay in Sheng Zexi’s heart, perhaps lingering for the rest of his life.
So, saving him was necessary!
Besides, there was confidence in her words.
About her father-in-law’s hand condition, she rembered, three years ago, when she was pregnant with Xingxing and Yueyue, heavily pregnant while giving lectures in Beijing, Fang Wanrong wanted her to operate on Sheng Xinhao.
But back then, their relationship was very strained.
There was no follow-up on that matter.
Over the past few years, her father-in-law was probably receiving conservative treatnt all the while.
Not long ago, when her father-in-law ca to find Xingxing and Yueyue, Gu Jia Ning rembered this matter and had the system bind to Sheng Xinhao, knowing about his condition.
She had even practiced how to treat Sheng Xinhao’s condition in the space.
She was confident.
However, she also knew that with the current level of dical technology, apart from her, few could confidently operate on Sheng Xinhao’s hand.
Earlier, since Sheng Zexi’s relationship with her father-in-law was poor, she naturally wouldn’t have volunteered for the surgery.
But now...
The relationship had eased.
Her father-in-law had also changed for the better.
And he was good to Xingxing and Yueyue.
Moreover...
She knew that even though Brother Xi spoke of not caring about Sheng Xinhao as a father, deep down, he did care.
At the end of the day, it’s hard for children to get past parental bonds.
He still longed for his parents’ recognition and praise.
Now, it was just a matter of him being unwilling to let go of the grievances he suffered back then.
But, as people...
We need to make peace with ourselves.
Only then can we better move forward.
Sheng Zexi stood staring at Gu Jia Ning, her words spoke right to his heart.
He said nothing more, just gazed at Gu Jia Ning.
After a while, he said, "Alright."
Since the train was still running, there was no way to stop midway.
Luckily, the next station wasn’t far, just over ten minutes away.
Sheng Zexi first communicated with Sheng Xinhao’s guard by phone, instructing them to prepare, so when Gu Jia Ning arrived, they could proceed directly with the surgery.
