Chapter 321: I Will Never Forgive Him

Chapter 321: I Will Never Forgive Him

As soon as Ye Tiandong left, the atmosphere in the private room suddenly became tense.

Ye Jingsong quickly tried to smooth things over and comfort him, "Second Uncle, don't worry about him. Tiandong is probably just really tired. He's been working hard lately, plus he's been traveling for eight or nine hours. He needs to rest."

"Hmm." Ye Rufeng didn't say anything more and continued eating his meal.

When Ye Jinsong met Ye Rufeng this time, his biggest impression was that the old man's temper had improved.

In the past, if Ye Tiandong had stormed off, he would have cursed and said hurtful things.

Neither father nor son would give in to the other, uttering harsh words and hurting each other.

Ye Rufeng's attitude is clearly different now than before.

It's clear that he wants to mend his relationship with his son.

After all, he's getting on in years.

As people get older, they crave family affection even more.

Bai Zhi also spoke cautiously, "Grandpa, let's eat first. After my uncle has rested, I'll invite him to our house."

Ye Rufeng didn't say anything, and continued eating his meal with his head down.

His mood seemed unaffected by Ye Tiandong. After finishing his meal, he looked at Ye Jingsong and the others, asking them about the situation in Bincheng with concern.

The topics included their pig farm business and whether Ye Jinsong's parents would attend Bai Zhi's wedding.

He appeared to be in normal spirits and got along naturally and happily with everyone.

Seeing that Ye Rufeng was in a good mood, everyone relaxed and chatted with him.

After finishing their meal, it was already quite late. Ye Jingsong and the others had taken a long train journey and looked exhausted.

Bai Zhi then suggested taking them to a hotel to rest first.

Ye Jingsong said he was a worldly man and that he didn't need Lu Ye to drive him to the hotel that night; the three of them could go by themselves.

However, Lu Ye rejected his proposal.

They happened to pass by the hotel on their way home, so Lu Ye planned out the route.

"Uncle, we'll take you back to your hotel first, and then go home on the way back."

"It's on my way. Okay, then thank you for your trouble."

Because of Lu Ye's profession and position, Ye Jingsong always viewed him with a biased perspective.

Lu Ye was busy with all sorts of hospitality and transportation, and Ye Jingsong always felt a little guilty.

Lu Ye genuinely respected them and was extremely careful in his hospitality.

Lu Ye drove them to the hotel that Ye Qingbai had booked in advance.

Ye Rufeng waited in the car while he and Bai Zhi escorted the person inside.

"My uncle is on the second floor."

Lu Ye knocked on the door, and Ye Qingbai was lying there alone, looking bored.

"Where is your uncle?" Lu Ye asked him.

Ye Qingbo shrugged and said, "He's tired, he's going to rest first."

"Then we won't bother you any longer."

Bai Zhi then said goodbye to Ye Jingsong and the others, "Uncle, Aunt, Cousin, you should get some rest. I won't be working tomorrow, I'll come pick you up."

Ye Jinsong smiled and declined, "No need to pick us up, we can just take a car there. We can take a stroll."

"See you tomorrow."

When Lu Ye and Bai Zhi came out of the hotel, Ye Rufeng closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep in the car.

The car was originally dark, but as the door opened, the dim yellow light from outside allowed Bai Zhi to clearly see Ye Rufeng's face.

Although his eyes were closed, his brows were furrowed, and it was clear that he was not in a good mood.

Bai Zhi didn't dare disturb her. She and Lu Ye quietly opened the car door and sat in the front.

When she got home, Bai Zhi called out to Ye Rufeng.

"Grandpa, we're home."

Ye Rufeng hummed in agreement, opened the car door, and got out.

He said to Lu Ye, "Lu Ye, you've worked hard today. Go home and rest early. Xiao Zhi and I will go in by ourselves. You drive back."

"Okay, Grandpa, then you take it easy."

After Ye Rufeng said this, Lu Ye stopped there and did not follow.

Bai Zhi glanced back at him, waved, and gestured for him to go back.

The grandfather and granddaughter returned to their empty home. Bai Zhi turned on the light in the living room and said to Ye Rufeng, "Grandpa, it's late. You should get some rest too."

Everyone was exhausted after a long day, and Bai Zhi didn't know how to bring up her uncle's matter.

"Xiao Zhi, sit down first."

Ye Rufeng called out to her, gesturing for her to sit down first.

His expression was sorrowful, and his once experienced eyes were now dull and lifeless. He sighed and said, "Your uncle is determined not to mend our relationship. Since that's the case, let's just leave it at that."

Ye Rufeng expressed his concerns, "Don't invite him to the house tomorrow either. I'll pretend we don't know each other, and we'll just keep to ourselves and attend the wedding peacefully. Let's not make your wedding unpleasant and become a laughing stock."

Angelica dahurica is also a headache.

Grandpa's one-sided positive attitude was indeed useless.

My uncle definitely wouldn't even give me a chance to eat at the same table with him.

However, my uncle was quite gentlemanly last night; he simply left and didn't embarrass my grandfather in front of everyone.

Bai Zhi remembered that her grandfather had gone to Dr. Zhou's house again today, so she hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, how is Dr. Zhou's mother doing now?"

Ye Rufeng shook his head in disappointment. "He was clear-headed today and chatted with me for a while, but he was still not clear-headed and spoke incoherently, making it difficult to communicate with him."

"Don't worry, I'll have a good talk with my uncle later. If that doesn't work, after my wedding, I'll inquire about the whereabouts of that elderly researcher and have my uncle find out the reason why my grandmother passed away."

"With me here, I will definitely help you two reconcile and repair your relationship. You are the closest people to me in this world. I don't want to have to go to two different places to visit my parents' home in the future."

Bai Zhi walked up to Ye Rufeng, looked at him sincerely, and gave him a heads-up, "Grandpa, before my uncle understands the truth, he will definitely be hostile towards you. You are the elder, so please be more magnanimous and don't take it to heart. You know that my uncle was just upset because of his failed marriage, so please be understanding."

"Child, I'm not that immature."

As Ye Rufeng watched his granddaughter trying to appease him and carefully trying to persuade and guide him, a feeling of guilt suddenly welled up in his heart.

That old geezer of his used to be so willful.

He has a bad temper and a sour face, causing his children to worry about him.

In this world, besides one's own blood relatives, who else would care so much about his relationship with his son?

He used to wander alone, and because of his stubbornness, he refused to face the relationship between him and his son.

He has a clear conscience, so why should he compromise?

But ever since this girl appeared in his life, he has gained a new understanding of family ties.

His hardened heart melted, and he began to yearn for family affection.

She longs to ease tensions with her son.

He also wanted to enjoy family life like any other elderly person.

He waved to Bai Zhi and said, "Alright, go to sleep. This matter isn't urgent. Your wedding is the priority right now."

There's no use in getting anxious.

He can't provide evidence to prove himself, and that unfilial son will not forgive him.
