“We won’t move for now.” Ling Sheng unpacked the luggage again and watched the video Lu Yubai had sent her. Her father had gone to Fifth Uncle’s house and proceeded to drive him away in a frenzy.
Fifth Uncle was infuriated. His voice was so furious in the video that it seemed like he wanted to kill someone. “F*ck, this is my house. Where do you want me to go?”
Fifth Uncle had said that her father would get drunk every year on his birthday and go crazy because of private reasons he could not tell her. It was like a routine. He had told her not to mind or take his words seriously. She could just ignore them.
Su Xiyin returned early the next morning and knocked on the door hurriedly. Upon seeing the sleepy Ling Sheng, she asked carefully, “Sheng Sheng, your father didn’t come back yesterday, right?”
The house looked quite clean, as though it had not been destroyed. Ci Er should not have been back. She had initially planned to come back yesterday, afraid that he would go crazy and cause trouble. However, she had been busy and had not been able to come back.
“He came back.” Ling Sheng was still angry when she mentioned yesterday’s incident. Thus, she complained angrily. “Grandma, is my father crazy? He was so drunk that he smashed the house. Xiaoqi was scared. Grandma, you have to seek revenge on our behalf.”
“Don’t worry, Grandma will definitely seek revenge on your behalf and beat that scumbag to death!” Upon hearing this, Su Xiyin finally felt relieved. “He didn’t do anything to you, right?”
“No.” Ling Sheng shook her head and clenched her fists. The injury on her palm had been treated. She was fine, but it hurt a little.
“Sigh… Your father just isn’t happy. Don’t stoop to his level.” Su Xiyin sighed. He was not a child anymore, yet he would get drunk every year. After getting drunk, he would start making a scene eventually like a ticking bomb.
Ling Sheng had asked Lu Yubai why he had done that yesterday, but he had not told her. He had only said that it was a secret, so she asked her grandma secretly.
Su Xiyin did not explain in detail. She only said that it was because of the person he had liked.
“My father’s first love?” Ling Sheng was extremely curious. It had been more than 20 years, but he could not get over it. What had happened back then that had made him so jealous?
“Yes, don’t let your father know that I mentioned it to you. You can’t mention it. No one can mention it in front of him anymore. Not even a word.” Su Xiyin could only sigh. “Sheng Sheng, don’t learn from your father. Go after the person you like and live a good life with him. Don’t regret losing him.”
“Does my father regret it?” Ling Sheng’s curiosity was piqued. She really wanted to know what kind of love and hatred could last until now without diminishing.
“Only he knows if he regrets it. The deeper the love, the deeper the hatred. Love hurts the most!” Su Xiyin sighed. Her heart ached for her son, but she could not protect him blindly. Falling out with someone you loved was the most hurtful thing.
Ci Er was stubborn, and so was that child, Nangong. He never admitted defeat. Neither of them had been willing to back down first, which had resulted in the current situation.
Su Xiyin was unwilling to tell her more about Huo Ci’s first love, so Ling Sheng pestered her to tell her about her and her grandpa’s love story. The love story of the older generation, especially when there was such a big age gap between them, had to be a good story.
“Grandma, you’re my idol.” Ling Sheng gave her a thumbs-up. In that era, women who dared to cross that kind of age gap and pursue love had been considered progressive!
It turned out that Grandpa and Grandma had fallen in love at first sight. Despite her family’s objections, she had resolutely married Grandpa.
