Chapter 654: Father and Son Reconciliation

Chapter 654: Father and Son Reconciliation

At this moment, his son, with whom he had been at odds for nearly twenty years, suddenly apologized to him. He felt wronged and guilty.

His son apologized and softened, and he felt a pang of guilt towards his family.

“But I also admit that I bear some responsibility for your mother’s death. As her husband, I failed to protect her. I am sorry to your mother, and I am sorry to you and your sister. I caused you to lose your mother, so it is right for you to resent me.”

He bowed his head in repentance, "As a grown man, I can't even protect my own woman, nor can I take good care of my children. I don't deserve to be your father."

After your sister went to the countryside, she met the wrong person and lost her life. And you didn't take good care of us when we were young; it's all my fault. So, all these years, I feel it's my own fault that you haven't acknowledged me.

Ye Tiandong looked at the old man who had always been strong-willed, now bowing his head and admitting his mistakes and repenting. Suddenly, Ye Tiandong felt a lump in his throat.

I feel terrible and anxious.

But thinking about how the old man had so many opportunities over the years to explain everything to him, yet the stubborn old man just wouldn't open his mouth.

After he had a falling out with him once, he packed his bags and traveled to all corners of the world.

Although his harsh words back then were indeed hurtful...

But the old man is his own father, and he is his own son. Why can't he be more patient and explain to him a few more times?

Thinking of this, Ye Tiandong said resentfully, "So you just gave up and did whatever you wanted, thinking you only had yourself to worry about. You wandered around and lived a carefree life."

"Do you think I'm cool?" Ye Rufeng looked up and met his gaze, asking in return.

Ye Tiandong snorted, "The famous Doctor Ye travels around and is fawned over wherever he goes. Isn't that wonderful?"

Ye Rufeng did not explain further.

Is it cool?

If you have a home, who would want to wander around?

His wife and daughter are gone, and his son once pointed at him and said that he didn't have a father like him.

What else could he do but wander around?

He looked at Ye Tiandong and softened his tone, "No matter what you think of me, I accept it. I also admit that I have let our family down. All the responsibility lies with me. I don't expect you to take care of me in my old age. I just hope that you can open your heart and stop living in resentment and pain."

Upon hearing his words, Ye Tiandong's tone became even colder, "Now that you have a sensible and capable granddaughter, of course you don't need me to support you in your old age."

Ye Rufeng, who was strong-willed all his life, was misunderstood by him and spoke up to explain, "I don't need Xiaozhi to support me in my old age. If I can't afford to live anymore, I'll just die. I won't be a burden to anyone, and I don't deserve to be supported by you."

His son has been working hard in society all these years on his own, and he has never raised his granddaughter.

What right does he have to be expected to support him in his old age?

Ye Tiandong rolled her eyes at him, frowning in displeasure. "You're getting on in years, can't you change your temper? Did I say I wouldn't take care of you in your old age?"

Upon hearing this, the stubborn old man's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Afraid that his son would see his vulnerable side, he quickly turned his face away.

I quickly composed myself and changed the subject.

"By the way, how's your personal life going? Has that woman stopped bothering you last year? You'd better keep your eyes open in the future and not raise someone else's child."

Ye Tiandong gritted his teeth, "!!!"

Seeing Ye Tiandong's unconvinced expression, he continued to complain, "You're very shrewd in business, but you have absolutely no taste when it comes to women."

Ye Tiandong, unable to contain himself any longer, retorted, "What do you mean I have no taste? Didn't you see Cui Hua today? What's wrong with her?"

"She's good in every way, but would she even be interested in you?" He had heard from Bai Zhi that the relationship between Ye Tiandong and this Cuihua was currently unclear.

Perhaps provoked by the old man's words, Ye Tiandong announced without thinking.

"To be honest, we've already started dating."

However, there were too many people passing by this time, and there wasn't enough opportunity to announce it to Bai Zhi and the others yet.

Upon hearing his words, Ye Rufeng breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief.

Once the relationship is established, that's fine.

He advised, "Then cherish her. You're not getting any younger, don't lose a good woman."

"Are you going to settle down here from now on?" Ye Tiandong asked, not responding to his question.

Ye Rufeng spoke up, "I can't say for sure, but let's support that girl for now."

Ye Tiandong touched his nose and awkwardly said, "If you're no longer needed here, you can go back to Bincheng or Nancheng. You're so old, don't wander around anymore. If you really die out there, I, as your son, will be condemned for all eternity."

Ye Rufeng didn't mind his sharp tongue, but instead made a request, "Then you should get married soon and give me a grandson. I won't go anywhere else, I'll just hold the baby."

Ye Tiandong snorted coldly, "If you don't have time to have a baby, let your granddaughter have one."

Ye Rufeng recalled how Bai Zhi's attitude towards childbirth was exactly the same as this troublesome girl's. He said in an unfriendly tone, "You're both making excuses and urging the other to have the baby. Can't you reach an agreement on who should have the baby?"

Ye Tiandong said in a calm tone, "Taking good care of yourself is more important than anything else. Let nature take its course when it comes to having children. Even if you do have one, you won't be able to take care of it."

Ye Rufeng, "..."

It's the same old story again.

So he also stated his position: "I have money, I'll hire a nanny to take care of her, and I'll watch over her from the side."

"Come on."

More than 10 years have passed, and the father and son have finally reconciled.

However, the two have such similar temperaments that even their normal conversations are laced with barbs.

Ye Tiandong stopped talking to him and stood up, opened the door, and called out to the courtyard.

"Cui Hua, we should go."

He didn't know what to say next; he was afraid he would lose control of his emotions.

Bai Zhi, Cui Hua, and Lu Ye heard the commotion and quickly ran out of the side room. They hadn't dared to say a word while they were over there, listening to the noise from this side, afraid that the father and son would start fighting or arguing.

Hearing Ye Tiandong call out to Cui Hua, she quickly ran over.

Bai Zhi only heard them talking, but their voices were quite soft, so she couldn't hear the specific content of their conversation at all.

Although I know that my uncle taking the initiative to show goodwill is a very good sign.

I'm still curious about what my uncle and grandfather talked about. Did they reconcile?

My uncle just left like that?

Bai Zhi asked Ye Tianduo, "Uncle, are you leaving?"

Ye Tiandong nodded, "Yes, it's getting late, let's go back to the hotel and sleep."

"That……"

Bai Zhi glanced at her maternal grandfather's face, then at her uncle's. Both of them looked much the same as usual, especially her maternal grandfather, who usually kept his emotions hidden, making it difficult for people to discern his feelings at this moment.

Seeing that they were about to leave, Ye Rufeng spoke up, "Wait a moment."

After he finished speaking, he quickly went to his bedroom.
