628 Collapse 2

When Yan Qingyun cried, Madam Zhao’s eyes turned red.

Madam Zhao took out a medicine bottle and poured out the medicine inside, preparing to give it to Yan Qingyun.

However, Yan Qingyun kept his mouth shut. He couldn’t speak, but he used his actions to express his rejection. He even knew what kind of divine medicine it was. If he ate it, it would at least improve the situation. However, he rejected it.

This was the first time he had given up on taking advantage of the situation. His daughter was soft-hearted and forgiving. Even if he had done nothing in the past, she was still soft-hearted. She was like her mother.

He had been taking advantage of others his entire life. At this moment, he no longer wanted to be Yan Qingyun who took advantage of others.

Even he felt that it was ridiculous. At the brink of death, he actually wanted to be a good father for once, a father who truly cared for his child.

He used all his strength to clench his numb teeth.

Madam Zhao cried and said in a choked voice, “Father, this is good medicine. Take it. You’ll get better after eating it.”

Yan Qingyun’s mouth was still tightly shut.

His vision was blurry. He wanted to tell Madam Zhao to put away the medicine and not to waste it. He had never taught Madam Zhao anything that a father should. Now that he wanted to, he could not say a word.

“Darling, put it away first.”

Su Sanlang felt that Yan Qingyun must have his own reasons for not eating it. No matter what it was, he would not force it. He would just respect it.

Madam Zhao put away the medicine and Yan Qingyun relaxed. His clenched fists relaxed.

He looked at Madam Zhao gently. He thought that it didn’t matter if he couldn’t speak. He would take a few more looks at her.

Su Sanlang was not very capable, but he was a good man. What he had found out was enough to prove that as a son, he had done his best. As a husband, he had done his best. Now that his life was good, he was not heartless. His character was very good.

No wonder he could raise such good children. The four children of the Su family were like a big tree. They were lush and had not grown crooked. Every step they took was so grounded. All these could not be separated from the guidance of their parents. They were taught by example.

Thinking about himself, Yan Qingyun recalled the past and only felt regret.

He had taken the wrong path, so today was his retribution. But in the end, it was also because of his sinister heart. No matter when, he would eventually take the wrong path.

The children he personally taught all took after him.

Their hearts were sinister, and they were cold.

Perhaps he would only feel a little regretful when he thought about it before he died.

He regretted it before he died. In the future, his son Yan Zhiyuan and his grandsons Yan Yuran and Yan Yuanan would all have this day, because they would all be the next Yan Qingyun.

Yan Qingyun turned around with difficulty. He was too ashamed to face Madam Zhao.

He had already looked at her so many times before he died. Enough, enough.

Su Sanlang gently wiped Madam Zhao’s tears. “Darling, let’s go back and invite Xiaolu over. Father-in-law might have something to say.”

Madam Zhao was in a mess. She glanced at Yan Qingyun, who was unwilling to look at her again. Clearly, Yan Qingyun did not want her to invite Su Xiaolu.

But this might be the last time she saw him. He clearly wanted to talk to her, but why was he unwilling?

Madam Zhao did not understand. She had never understood this father.

When she was young, she yearned for him to remember her. She yearned for him to smile at her like he did to his sister, Yan Zhenzhen. He didn’t. His stern eyes were always so indifferent.

She could only see his smile when she was at her grandfather’s house. She understood. She understood everything.

She also knew that she could and should hate him in her heart, but she couldn’t.

Whether it was her father or Su Sanlang’s parents, she only had resentment. She just didn’t want to be close to them, but she couldn’t really hate them.

Madam Zhao’s heart was in a mess. She did not know if she should ask her daughter to help.

She actually wanted to, but she also knew that she shouldn’t do that.

Su Xiaolu was her child. She could not say that she loved her and used her love to make her feel uncomfortable.

Madam Zhao shook her head. “No, I have already come here. No matter what, I should be at ease.”

Su Sanlang understood Madam Zhao. He held her hand tightly and comforted her silently. No matter what Madam Zhao did, he understood.

They were the same. It was fine if they made things difficult for themselves, but they were unwilling to make things difficult for their children.

“Dad, goodbye.”

Madam Zhao looked at Yan Qingyun. She knelt down and kowtowed three times to him.

Su Sanlang knelt down with her and kowtowed three times.

Tears blurred her vision. Madam Zhao saw Yan Qingyun’s fingers move. She understood that he wanted her to leave.

Madam Zhao and Su Sanlang got up and left the room together.

Outside, Yan Zhiyuan walked over and said with a serious face, “I shouldn’t be the one saying this, but I have to say it now. You have seen what happened to my father. I know that your two sons are very promising, and they are doing well now. Although they are not the Yan family’s biological grandchildren, they are still considered grandchildren. If they don’t come now, they will be criticized.”

Yan Zhiyuan was filled with anger. How dare those little b*stards not come.

He was furious when he saw Madam Zhao. She was just lucky. Otherwise, who would like her?

If not for the fact that she was lucky, how could she fight with him like this? She could have died countless times.

Su Sanlang frowned. He had already clenched his fists. He said angrily, “In terms of status, my wife is above you. Her mother is the first wife. What about your mother? You are being rude by not calling her your sister. We won’t argue with you. Don’t forget your status.”

“Lord Yan, we’re not biological siblings. The only thing we have to do with each other is our father. I’m sure you don’t have amnesia so bad that you can’t remember why I’m troubled. My son is doing well and isn’t afraid of being criticized by others. However, if someone deliberately guides him? Then I won’t let anyone harm my child.”

“Father Yu, I have a clear conscience. I can tell you clearly that after he passes away, we won’t have anything to do with each other anymore. If you touch me, I’ll definitely return the favor.”

Madam Zhao looked at Yan Zhiyuan coldly. She was not afraid of Yan Zhiyuan. She might be able to tolerate Yan Zhiyuan hurting her, but she would never allow him to touch the children.

It took her ten years to repent. She would never make such a mistake again.

Even if the children did not need her protection now, if Yan Zhiyuan dared to do anything, she would fight with him no matter what.

“You, you—”

Yan Zhiyuan was furious. He did not expect Madam Zhao to talk back to him.

Madam Zhao was nothing. Even his sister, Yan Zhenzhen, did not dare to contradict him!

Yan Zhiyuan was angry, but he was also helpless. Yan Zhenzhen would ask him for favors, but Madam Zhao had never done so.

Their relationship was destined. Even if Madam Zhao begged him, he would not help. Madam Zhao made him lose his mother, so there was bound to be a grudge between them. Yan Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and said fiercely, “Alright, alright. Let’s see how long you can laugh. I don’t believe that your son will always be upright!”
