465 Father and Son
If Su Zheng’s stand could waver so easily, wouldn’t it also indirectly mean that Su Zheng had really never cared about his son’s feelings?
If he had cared about him more in the past, this situation wouldn’t have happened today!
Su Xing looked straight at Su Zheng and clenched his fists tightly.
An Le held his hand tightly, her eyes full of heartache and complicated emotions. She sighed and said, “Uncle Su, I can accept your apology to me just now! In fact, I also think that the things you’ve considered are understandable! But now, it seems that I’m not the only reason why there’s such a huge argument between you and Su Xing. There’s still a knot in your hearts that hasn’t been resolved.”
An Le said as she turned to look at Su Xing. Some tears flowed out of her gentle eyes as she said in a deep voice, “Su Xing is a very responsible man. He’s a good son and brother, but you might not be a good father!”
There was nothing wrong with what An Le said. Between Su Zheng and Su Xing, she naturally chose to speak up for Su Xing!
Su Zheng listened to An Le carefully and looked up at his eldest son, whose eyes were starting to turn slightly red again. His heart ached fiercely.
He raised his hand to stop his third son from explaining on his behalf. After sighing deeply, he said in a hoarse voice, “An Le is right. I’m indeed not a very competent father! I forced Su Xing to have such an outburst today! I’m very sorry.”
As Su Zheng spoke, he turned to look at Su Xing and apologized seriously, “I know. I neglected you a lot in the past! You’ve indeed done a lot for our family silently! You’re a very good brother. Because of you, I’ve already neglected the brothers behind you. I’ve put all my expectations and hopes on your shoulders alone. This is very selfish and unfair!”
“Ever since you were young, your second brother has liked racing. Your third brother loves the law. Su Shui is a genius in computers. Even though your fifth brother doesn’t have any actual work in the entertainment industry right now, he has known his direction since he was young!”
“You’re the only one I’ve forcefully molded into the person I want you to be. This is very cruel! I know the pressure on your shoulders is huge, but you’ve never complained about being tired easily, because you think that as long as you can manage, the brothers behind you can choose the life they want freely! Isn’t that so, Su Xing?”
The atmosphere at the dining table fell silent at this moment. No one spoke, nor did they interrupt Su Zheng’s confession!
Tears fell from Su Xing’s eyes. He wasn’t usually such an emotional person, but today, he was really unlike himself.
Seeing that Su Xing didn’t answer, Su Zheng wasn’t surprised. He smiled at Su Xing gently, his eyes full of gentleness and guilt. “You asked me why I suddenly realized why I didn’t think about you before! Dad has to admit that I was indeed too selfish. I shouldn’t have treated you so strictly and ignored you in the past. You’re my eldest son, the legitimate son of the Su family, not the working machine of the family. I shouldn’t have ignored this!”
As Su Zheng spoke, his eyes also started to turn red slowly. He lowered his head guiltily and took a few deep breaths before looking up at Su Xing again. “Qingqing wasn’t persuading me just then. She directly scolded me until I woke up! She let me know how selfish and narrow-minded I was in the past! I only have my own interests and the interests of the entire Su family in my mind and heart. I’ve forgotten the people I should really value and care about and put the cart before the horse! This is really a very stupid mistake. I have nothing to explain anymore. I only hope that you can forgive Dad now and give me a chance to make it up to you!”
If Su Qing’s personality had changed the most after she returned to the Su family, Su Zheng would be ranked second.
Su Zheng used to be a very strict and inflexible person. He liked to put on the airs of the leader of the family and also liked to have the absolute authority of a father. Many of his rigid and traditionalist traits were actually very similar to his mother, Old Madam Su, Feng Jing!
