"Dad, it's me, Xiangxiang." Chu Xiang walked over and handed the little tiger to him. "Look, this is the little tiger that Mom made. It's been with me all this time."

"A little tiger?" Chu Ruilin looked up sharply when he saw the doll, and his eyes widened when he saw a girl who looked very much like his wife. "Xiangxiang, you, you are Xiangxiang?"

"Yes, I'm Xiangxiang." Chu Xiang nodded. "Dad, why do you have so much gray hair?"

The father I remember was young and handsome, but the father in front of me is old and haggard.

She has grown up, and her father has grown old. She wishes time would slow down so that her father wouldn't get old.

Chu Ruilin was initially delighted, but then, as if remembering something, he shook his head. "You are not Xiangxiang. My Xiangxiang is only this small. You are an undercover agent sent by Japan. You are a bad person. You are a villain who came to steal my Xiangxiang!"

He became excited, and Chu Xun, afraid that he would hurt Chu Xiang, quickly stepped forward and held him down. "Dad, she really is my sister. It's been more than 20 years. My sister has grown up. Dad, I have not let you down. I have found my sister."

"Xiangxiang...has grown up?" Chu Ruilin quieted down and looked at Chu Xiang carefully.

Li Xiyue walked over and said with a smile, "Uncle Chu, Xiangxiang is back, and so is Auntie. She has something to say to you."

"Yes, Dad, I saw Mom. She asked me to tell you that she doesn't blame you anymore and to ask you to take good care of my sister for her," Chu Xun said, his eyes red.

"Yuwei, Yuwei is back?" Tears welled up in Chu Ruilin's eyes. "How has she been all these years?"

Chu Xun suppressed his heartache and nodded. "Mom has always been with my sister. It was Mom who protected my sister. Dad, my sister is back. Our family is finally reunited."

Chu Ruilin burst into tears, walked to his daughter, hugged her tightly, and sobbed, "Xiangxiang, my daughter, Dad has finally waited for you to come back. Dad thought he would never see you again in this life..."

"Dad..." Chu Xiang also started to cry, "Xiangxiang misses you so much..."

"I'm sorry, Xiangxiang, it's Dad's fault. Dad failed to protect you and made you suffer."

Chu Xun clenched his fists tightly, trying to suppress his grief.

Li Xiyue couldn't help but shed tears.

Chu Ruilin was tormented by self-blame and guilt for half his life, but now he can finally be free from it.

The father and daughter embraced and wept bitterly. Chu Ruilin's madness was cured, and he became energetic again. Even his hunched back, which had been bent for half his life, straightened up.

Happily, she packed her things and went home with her children.

When I got home and saw my elderly father, my clothes were wet with tears again.

Once everyone had calmed down, Li Xiyue took out a pair of bracelets that Chu Ruilin had given her earlier, saying, "Uncle Chu, here you go."

"These were left by A-Xun's mother for Xiangxiang and A-Xun's wife." Chu Ruilin took one out and put it on his daughter, and handed the other to his son, "A-Xun, you put this on Yueyue."

Whether he was lucid or confused, he recognized Li Xiyue as his daughter-in-law. It was their blessing that their son could marry such a good daughter-in-law.

Chu Xun took it and personally put it on Li Xiyue.

The whole family laughed with joy.

On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, an auspicious day, the Chu family came to propose marriage.

Chu Ruihua, the second uncle of the Chu family, made a special trip and brought all the grandchildren of the Chu family. Cars parked one after another in front of Li Xiyue's house, and the cars were full of betrothal gifts.

Liao Qingshan and Zhuang Lao were dressed very smartly, and Chen Qinghe and Zhuang Le were also dressed appropriately, standing to the side with happy faces.

Chen Qinghe also said he wanted to give Li Xiyue a surprise.

Li Xiyue guessed that the mysterious patient's illness had been cured. A while ago, Chen Qinghe asked her for some pills again, and she figured it should be cured by now.

So, is Chen Qinghe trying to take this opportunity to thank her handsomely today?

I'm a little excited.

Liao Qingshan accepted the betrothal gift list and marriage certificate handed over by Chu Ruihua with a smile.

One by one, the grandchildren, each with an imposing presence, carried down the betrothal gifts.

First, the eldest sons, Chu Zhou and Lu Feng, carried a box tied with big red flowers, containing 9,999 yuan in betrothal gifts, symbolizing a long and loving marriage.

Next, Chu Jiang from the second wife and Chu Tao from the third wife carried down two boxes containing various pastries and candies, symbolizing sweetness and happiness.
