572 Meeting Father-in-law, Resolving the Conflict

Now that Xiaoran had returned, Falcon had the courage to hit a wall again.

When the father and son arrived at the Huo family’s courtyard, the guard saw Huo Xiaoran and bowed respectfully to him. “Greetings, Young Master Huo.”

“Are Grandpa and Grandma home?”

“Yes.” The door slid open outside, and Xiaoran and Falcon entered the courtyard one after another.

!!

Huo Xiaoran suddenly thought of something. He suddenly stopped and turned to look at Falcon.

“Dad, shouldn’t you let me have my father’s surname again?” Although he didn’t care what his surname was, his mother had mentioned it more than once when she was alive, hoping that he could acknowledge his ancestors in his lifetime.

Falcon’s expression was very sad. “Xiaoran, Dad lost his home. When I came back four years ago, I went to look for your grandparents. But the former residence has been bought for many years and there’s no news of your grandparents.”

Xiao Ran’s eyes narrowed, and a sharp pain overflowed from his heart.

“Dad, it’s okay. As long as we don’t give up searching, we’ll find them one day.”

At this moment, Huo Xiaoran saw the tears in Falcon’s eyes and realized that the pain and regret in his father’s heart were from many years ago. At that time, Huo Xiaoran was determined to find his father’s home.

“Dad, when was the last time you contacted them?”

Falcon said dejectedly, “When I was in university, I accepted the organization’s undercover mission. In order not to implicate my family, I took the initiative to cut off contact with them. Who knew that this separation would last for decades? In the blink of an eye, I’m already graying. I wonder how your grandparents are?”

Xiaoran could feel his father’s sorrow and disappointment. He shook his arm. “Dad, don’t worry. They’ll be fine.”

Falcon looked at Xiaoran. Perhaps because he was holding back his tears, the blood vessels in his eyes had already turned red.

Xiaoran knew it was a spark of his father’s tenacity and grief. His heart ached for his father.

Falcon said, “But I still implicated your mommy. And you.”

Xiao Ran said solemnly, “Dad, it’s all in the past.”

Falcon nodded.

They both knew that the pain had been carved into their hearts by the vicissitudes of time. They would never forget it.

“Go in,” Xiaoran said.

Falcon adjusted his sadness and returned to normal before walking in.

Old Master Huo, Old Madam Huo, and Huo Ruping sat on the sofa. When Huo Xiaoran and Falcon stepped into the door, they couldn’t help but look over.

They were extremely curious. How outstanding was this man who made Xinping give up her wealth and love? How could he make Xinping rub wealth into mud and lead a life of sadness for him?

Xiao Ran and Falcon walked up to them and separated. At this moment, they saw Falcon.

Even though time had engraved the vicissitudes of life on him, his face was filled with determination and integrity. His youthful and peerless face exuded a refined and resolute charm. His facial features were like artwork sculpted by nature.

Old Madam Huo cried. “After seeing you today, I finally know why my daughter was so crazy about you.”

Falcon knelt in front of the old lady. “Mother, I’m sorry. Please forgive me for coming too late with this apology. I let Xinping down. If I hadn’t been young and frivolous and overestimated my ability, I would never have provoked Xinping. It’s all my fault for making her life so difficult. If you want to hit or scold me, I’m willing to be punished.”

Ruping looked at this handsome man. He should be in his fifties, but he looked no more than forty years old. He was very young and elegant.

Even the sight of him killed her. She could understand why her sister had been crazy about him back then.

“Dad, Mom, the tragedy of my sister can’t be changed. We all have to live well for the living. Just get over it and forgive him.”

Old Master Huo said, “Falcon, you’re also a person with face and status. Logically speaking, we can’t afford to have you kneeling to us. We’ve seen your kindness. Get up.”

Xiaoran helped his father up.

Old Master Huo said, “Sit.”

Xiao Ran and Falcon sat down beside Old Master’s sofa.

The old man sighed and said helplessly, “I know that it hasn’t been easy for you all these years. I shouldn’t have blamed you for Xinping’s death. After all, her choice was also the result of our education. When she was young, we always instilled heroic feelings in her and instilled her with a sense of right and wrong. Therefore, if she loved you, she had the right to support you in chasing your dreams. After all, that was her dream.”

“Falcon, I’ve spent thirty years hating you. If you’d appeared to me before, I think I would have killed you without hesitation. But now, I forgive you.”

“Although your union with Xinping was tragic, there’s no doubt that there’s nothing wrong with your union. What’s wrong is fate’s teasing.”

At the end, the old man suddenly smiled bitterly, as if he had accepted Falcon helplessly. “On account of you fathering such an outstanding grandson for me, I won’t care about the past. In the future, stay well and be with your son more. Compensate him with the love you and Xinping owe him.”

Falcon was grateful. “Thank you, Father.”

Old Madam Huo was very happy. “No matter what, today is a good day for a reunion. Old Master, let’s get the kitchen to make more good dishes. Let’s celebrate.”

The old man said, “Then we have to call An’an and Xiaoran over. Also, I heard that Father Qiao is here. We have to invite him over.”

“Yes, yes, yes,” Ruping said. “Dad, Mom, I’ll invite them to a banquet.”

“Call Xiao Ming and the others too.”

Huo Xiaoran suddenly stopped them. “Grandma, Grandpa, you don’t have to worry about the banquet. My An’an has long started to organize this matter. An’an said that it’s rare for both fathers to be here and the Huo family is reunited. She wants to hold a banquet for the guests.”

Old Master Huo and Old Madam Huo were both very surprised. “Our An’an is finally enlightened. She’s finally willing to be extravagant for once. Alright, since it’s An’an’s decision, we must support her.”

“Aiya, I can’t wait to see that girl’s ability to manage the house.”

Huo Zhou’s mother said, “My An’an has never presided over housework. I have to help her.”

When Xiaoran and Falcon came out of Old Master Huo’s courtyard, they clearly felt the haze on Falcon dissipate a little.

Huo Xiaoran knew that he had always felt deeply guilty about the Huo family because of his mother’s tragic fate.

Now that his grandparents had forgiven him, he naturally heaved a sigh of relief.

“What are your plans in the future?” Xiaoran asked.
