A week passed in the blink of an eye, and their formal wedding took place as scheduled.

Li Xuehua sat at the main table, watching her children get married happily, and the smile on her face never faded.

Cai Wei cried her eyes out. Her son was finally getting married, and she felt like she had waited too long for these few days.

Gu Dongsheng remained relatively calm, enjoying drinks and conversation with those around him.

Lin Hongzhi knew they were getting married but didn't attend. He was too ashamed to face his daughter and could only watch her happily from afar.

A month has passed in the blink of an eye, and it seems that everything in life has returned to normal.

When Lu Zhixia opened the store in the morning, she saw Lin Hongzhi standing at the door, wearing a black woolen coat. His hair was almost completely white, and he was extremely thin.

She was completely different from how she looked when we first met.

Lin Hongzhi: "I want to talk to you."

Lu Zhixia nodded, then went back to the kitchen, told Sula, and went out with him.

They didn't go far; they strolled around the artificial lake near the hotel.

Lin Hongzhi: "I knew you were getting married, but I didn't dare to contact you."

Lu Zhixia looked at him, "You want me to acknowledge you?"

Lin Hongzhi waved his hand, "It doesn't matter anymore. It's all my fault. Otherwise, I wouldn't be in this situation now."

Lu Zhixia, "So what are you planning to do next?"

Looking at the artificial lake in front of him, Lin Hongzhi said, "I've lost my job and I don't want to work anymore. I want to go live in the village and stay by your mother's grave. I probably won't come back."

Lu Zhixia understood what he meant, "Why are you doing this? Sometimes you have to look forward."

Lin Hongzhi was very happy to receive his daughter's concern. "It was because I was young and ignorant that I caused such a consequence. I regret it and I want to repent!" Then he took out an envelope from his pocket. "This is for you. Use it for your future life."

Just by looking at the thickness of the envelope, Lu Zhixia knew there was a lot of money inside. She shook her head slightly.

"I can't accept it, you can take it!"

"Please accept this; it will make me feel better." Lin Hongzhi placed the envelope in his daughter's hand. "Let me fulfill my responsibility as a father this once!"

Lu Zhixia was touched by his sincerity, but she couldn't accept the money because she guessed that it was all the money he had.

"The sentiment is enough, but I can't accept the money. I can't let you suffer; you also need to make a living."

Lin Hongzhi said, "I can support myself from now on. That day, I went back and had a fight with Tong Shujia, and I hit her!"

Lu Zhixia looked up at him and asked, "And then?"

Lin Hongzhi took out a cigarette case from his pocket, lit one, and took a puff. "I'm divorced from her now."

Lu Zhixia, "Would she agree?"

Lin Hongzhi: "I hit her quite hard, and she is probably basically paralyzed from the waist down, so she has no choice but to get a divorce."

Lu Zhixia was quite shocked. They had attacked, and with such a serious injury at that.

I won't comment much on your affairs.

Lin Hongzhi took another drag of his cigarette, then threw it on the ground and stomped it out. He then handed the envelope over again.

"Take it! Otherwise, I'll have to come back."

Lu Zhixia understood that he felt guilty, so she reached out and took the envelope.

"If this makes you feel better, then I'll accept it."

"Good girl!" Lin Hongzhi raised his hand to touch his daughter's head, but pulled his arm back halfway. "Live well, you must be happy!"

Lu Zhixia: "Don't worry! I will be happy forever!"

Lin Hongzhi thought for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Could you give me a photo of yourself? I'd like to show it to your mother."

Lu Zhixia nodded and then returned to her place. Actually, there were quite a few photos, all taken at her wedding.

She took a photo of the four of them, wanting to show it to her mother, and also planned to go back home when she had time.

They paid respects to their grandfather and mother separately.

She went downstairs and handed him the photos. "The daughter in the photos is my biological daughter. As for the little boy, he is our adopted child. The daughter's name is Lu Yan, and the son's name is Gu Huailin."

Lin Hongzhi touched the photo, tears streaming down his face. "Alright, alright, as long as you're happy. With this photo, I have nothing left to hold me back." He wiped away his tears. "Then I'm leaving. Take care of yourself!"

Lu Zhixia watched his retreating figure, and finally couldn't help but call out.

I will go back in a while.

Lin Hongzhi laughed when he heard this. He didn't turn around, but raised his hand and waved to indicate that he understood.

He didn't expect his daughter's forgiveness; if he were in her shoes, he would have done the same.

He's going to stay by Tong Shuyao's side and spend the rest of his life repenting!
