Frustrated by Xu Yatong's stubbornness, Xu Honglin rubbed his temples.

Nobody's trying to kick you out!

Xu Yatong ignored her: "Is it because you have Shen Jingyan as your daughter that you don't want me anymore?"

She acted as if the whole world was against her.

"Tongtong, you, Jingya, and Feifei are all Daddy's daughters. Daddy's heart is the same for all of you."

However, Hsu Ya-Tung was very dissatisfied with this answer.

Shen Jingyan and Xu Yafei already have the love of their mother and grandfather, so why can't Xu Honglin give them more of his fatherly love?

What she wanted was not equal treatment, but uniqueness!

It seems that Xu Honglin won't take her seriously unless some special measures are taken.

She swept her gaze across the crowd with a gloomy face, as if everyone owed her five million.

“I should have known that I am nothing, that this family cannot accept me, and that I should not have stayed here.”

She left those words behind and then stomped up the stairs.

The table was laden with food, but no one had even touched it.

Old Xu slumped onto the sofa, looking dejected, and said:

"It's my fault, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been so stubborn back then... sigh!"

He sighed heavily, his tone filled with a pain and regret that Chen Jingyan had never heard before.

Xu Honglin walked up to Old Man Xu, squatted down, stroked the white-haired old man's back, and whispered:

"Dad, it's all in the past, don't blame yourself anymore."

Seeing the Xu family in such a state, Shen Honggang said to Qiao Suxin:

"Akiba, let's go back now."

Qiao Suxin tried her best to persuade him to stay: "Brother, it's so late. It's too much trouble for you to go out and find a guesthouse. Just stay at home. There are a few empty bedrooms at home."

Old Xu also said, "That's right, we finally made the trip, and we haven't even had a meal yet, why are we leaving already?"

Feifei pulled on Shen Honggang's arm and said:

"Uncle, you haven't tried my cooking yet! I specially learned it from Sister Jingya!"

Old Xu slapped his thigh and said, "Come on, let's all eat! I've even prepared some good wine!"

Everyone wanted the unpleasantness from earlier to pass quickly, so they returned to the dinner table chatting and laughing.

The family reunion dinner was finally enjoyed in a lively and happy atmosphere.

Just as everyone was sitting in the living room chatting about everyday things, Xu Yatong came downstairs carrying a large suitcase.

The suitcase she took this time was even bigger than the one she took when she pretended to run away from home last time.

Unlike the last time when she just stuffed a few things into the suitcase, this time she carried it with great difficulty, clearly because it was full of things.

As she struggled down the stairs, she gave everyone a resolute look.

It's as if it's announcing to the whole world:

"This time I'm serious about running away from home!"

Seeing this, Xu Honglin was about to get up when the old man glared at him.

"Let her go! She's twenty-three, not three. She's not going to get lost."

Perhaps she had already played the "crying wolf" trick before, Xu Honglin thought for a moment and then sat down again.

He feels a deep sense of exhaustion, as if the nightmare of his first marriage has returned.

TaRead Novels App is a completely open-source, free online novel website.

Back then, his first wife, Yu Zhen, who was also Xu Yatong's mother, frequently threatened him with suicide and running away from home.

Once she gets emotional, she's capable of doing anything crazy.

That day, she and Xu Honglin had an argument over a trivial matter. In the dead of winter, she abandoned Xu Yatong and rushed out of the house. Xu Honglin's mother, worried that she would get cold, grabbed a coat and chased after her. On the busy main road, she was hit and thrown into the air by a speeding car.

This incident became a permanent scar in his and Old Man Xu's hearts.

The reason why Old Man Xu blamed himself for everything was because Yu Zhen was the daughter of his longtime classmate and friend. Back then, he impulsively agreed to her arranged marriage.

Despite Xu Honglin's strong reluctance, he tried to get along with Yu Zhen, but their values ​​and interests were completely different. Nevertheless, he obeyed his father's wishes and married Yu Zhen.

Yu Zhen knew that she was not a good match for Xu Honglin in terms of knowledge, spiritual realm, or even appearance, so she became suspicious after marriage.

Xu Honglin was handsome and refined, and was admired by countless young women. Whenever Yu Zhen saw Xu Honglin talking to female colleagues, even if he only spoke a few words to a female sales clerk at the supply and marketing cooperative, she would hysterically accuse him of being fickle.

Thus, their marriage was a mess, lasting only four years before ending after Xu Honglin's mother's car accident.

Xu Honglin looked at Xu Yatong; her behavior and inner thoughts were exactly the same as Yu Zhen's.

He was really tired.

Xu Honglin did not stop Xu Yatong until she reached the front door.

Xu Yatong thought to herself, maybe this time I need to do something real. If I disappear for a few days, Xu Honglin will really get anxious and care.

She gritted her teeth and pushed open the door.

"Wait a minute."

Xu Yatong froze in her tracks.

It was Shen Jingyan who spoke.

She stood up, walked up to Xu Yatong, and smiled.

"Before you leave, please apologize to my mother."

Xu Yatong stared wide-eyed in disbelief: "Apologize? Why should I apologize?"
