Chapter 277 Father and Son Resolve the Gap
"Yu Jue, are you really willing to forgive your father? Are you willing to forgive him for my sake? I know this is really difficult for you, but I am really relieved that you can forgive your father for my sake. Although your father is wrong..." Qin Niannian leaned in Gu Yu Jue's arms, her voice soft but with a hint of caution.
Gu Yujue sighed softly, looking out the window, his thoughts drifting back to the past filled with arguments and conflicts. "Niannian, this isn't just for you, it's also for our family and our children. As the eldest son of the Gu family, I'm not only responsible for the family business, but I'm also your husband. If I'm not strong, who will protect you in the future?"
After Gu Yujue finished speaking, he hugged Qin Niannian and continued, "My life experience and tragic experience are not worth mentioning. You are right, my relationship with my father is particularly bad. I have thought about it. Instead of leaving the child to a nanny, it is better to find a free laborer. No matter what, he is still my child's grandfather.
After hearing this, Qin Niannian suddenly realized and joked, "Okay, so this is your idea, to let your dad be a free laborer. If this gets out, everyone will laugh their heads off." As she spoke, the corners of her mouth raised, revealing a long-lost playful smile.
Gu Yujue looked at Qin Niannian's rare relaxed look, and his heart was filled with relief. He gently scratched Qin Niannian's nose and responded with a smile: "So what? As long as it can make you happy and make our family more complete, being laughed at by others is nothing." The two smiled at each other, and the atmosphere in the ward instantly became relaxed and warm.
Gu Yujue lowered his head and placed a kiss on Qin Niannian's forehead, sighing, "Yes, I used to feel that there was an unbridgeable gap between me and my father, and every communication ended in a quarrel. But when I saw you bravely facing the pain of the past for the sake of this family and our children, I began to reflect on myself. Life is short, and I don't want my children to grow up in a family atmosphere full of contradictions."
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door of the ward, and Gu's father slowly walked in. There was a hint of restraint in his eyes, and a bit of expectation for his grandchildren. Seeing the intimacy between Qin Niannian and Gu Yujue, he was slightly stunned, then cleared his throat and said, "I... I came to see Niannian. Yujue, I'm sorry, it was all my fault that Niannian fell. Can you forgive me? I'll put down my things and leave." After Gu Zhennan finished speaking, he was about to put down his things and leave.
"Dad," Gu Yujue's voice echoed in the ward. That long-lost call froze Gu Zhennan's steps, as if time had frozen in that moment. He slowly turned around, his eyes filled with shock and disbelief, as if he couldn't believe that the call came from his son's mouth.
Gu Yujue looked at his father, a mixture of emotions welling up in his heart. His mother's passing had once been like an unhealable wound, a wound that lay between him and his father. The resentment born of missing his mother had only grown deeper with each passing moment. But now, looking at the graying hair on his father's temples, the loneliness and guilt evident in his eyes, Gu Yujue's resentment quietly softened.
"Dad, don't go." Gu Yujue spoke again, his voice a little softer, "Let's not talk about the past. It's not your fault that Nian Nian fell this time. I was too impulsive at the time. Fortunately, the doctor said that Nian Nian protected her belly, so she didn't miscarry. Now her body has almost recovered. Can we go home together?
Gu Zhennan turned around slowly, tears glistening in his eyes, his lips trembling slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he choked for a moment. He never expected that Yu Jue would actually be willing to call him dad and even willing to go home with him. So he excitedly agreed: "Okay, let's go home together. It was all my fault before. Yu Jue, I shouldn't have cheated on you, I shouldn't have made your mother sad, and you deserve to hate me all these years.
Gu Yujue finally felt relieved after hearing this. He couldn't help but hug the father he had hated for twenty years. This hug bridged the gap and resentment he had felt for so long. He had witnessed his family's shattering, his mother's countless days and nights in tears. Those painful images haunted him, filling him with hatred for his father.
Now, twenty years have passed. Looking at his father's gray hair and listening to his guilty words, the resentment in Gu Yujue's heart gradually dissipated. He understood that life is short and some things cannot be entangled. For the sake of his family and for his inner peace, he chose to let go. He believed that his mother would also support him and let go of the hatred and live his own life.
Qin Niannian watched the scene unfold, her heart stirring. She knew full well that the conflict between Gu Yujue and his father had been going on for a long time, and now was the perfect time for them to resolve their long-standing grievances. She gently held Gu Yujue's hand and gave him an encouraging look.
"Dad, you see, Nian Nian also hopes that you can come home with us." Gu Yujue took Qin Niannian's hand and took a few steps towards his father. "This family can't be without you."
Gu Zhennan looked at his son and daughter-in-law, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He slowly walked forward, his eyes falling on Qin Niannian's slightly bulging belly, his eyes full of love and guilt. "Niannian, I'm sorry, it's me, an old man, who is too stubborn. I almost hurt you and the child."
Qin Niannian smiled and shook her head, saying, "Dad, don't say that. Everything is over. We are already very happy that you can come to see us." Her voice was soft and warm, like a spring breeze, gently blowing through Gu Zhennan's heart.
"Yes, Dad." Gu Yujue agreed, "Don't blame yourself anymore. From now on, our family must be together well."
Gu Zhennan nodded vigorously, tears streaming down his cheeks, unable to be held back any longer. For years, he had navigated the business world, never flinching even in the face of adversity. But now, faced with the tolerance and understanding of his son and daughter-in-law, he sobbed like a child.
After staying in the hospital for a few more days, Qin Niannian was confirmed by the doctor to have fully recovered and met the discharge criteria. That day, Gu Yujue and Gu Zhennan came to the hospital early and helped Qin Niannian complete the discharge procedures.
Xiao Lili on the other end of the phone was slightly startled, with a complicated emotion in her heart, but she quickly adjusted herself and said in a warm tone: "Okay, husband, don't worry, I will definitely arrange everything at home." After hanging up the phone, Xiao Lili put down the fashion magazine she was reading, stood up and walked towards Gu Yujue's room.
The room was already dusty. Xiao Lili frowned, but rolled up her sleeves and began to clean. As she sorted, she recalled the past.
Ever since she married Gu Zhennan, Gu Yujue has been very cold towards her. She knew that was because she had destroyed his original family.
She also did a lot of things that hurt Gu Yujue and Qin Niannian because of Xiao Ruoya, but Qin Niannian never blamed her at all. It was just that she never expected that Xiao Ruoya would dare to commit murder. As her aunt, she could not escape the blame.
And Qin Niannian, this gentle and kind girl, never blamed her and let her live in Gu's family, which made her very touched. As for Xiao Ruoya, she would not care about her anymore. She had taken care of her for so many years, but now she became a murderer. This was a sin!
Now, seeing Gu Zhennan's attitude towards them change, she had to re-examine her position. After all, this was also her home where she had lived for decades. Although Gu Yujue did not welcome her, Gu Yuxuan was still here. As long as she did not do anything to hurt Qin Niannian, Gu Yujue would not drive her out of the Fu family.
