Chapter 199
"Just treat them as if they were Ruoan's childhood and love them again. They are your chance to love again and make amends."
"Forget it, no need to say more. I know what's going on and will do my best to cooperate with the treatment." There was determination in Grandpa Xia's eyes. He was eager to witness the birth and growth of the three little guys and witness the miracle of life.
"That's good. When the time comes, I will make sure you take the medicine on time and won't be careless at all." Lin Cai's words were full of concern and unquestionable determination.
"Grandpa Xia, please leave the evidence to me. I will take care of the rest."
"Please take good care of yourself. If you have any requests, just tell me. I will do my best to live up to your expectations." Lin Cai's words were gentle and firm, but the sense of responsibility that could not be shirked made people respect him.
"I know that you are determined to seek justice for Grandma Xia, but as her descendant, how can I let you bear this burden alone?"
Lin Cai's words revealed a hint of helplessness and self-blame, but more of it was a deep understanding and respect for Old Man Xia.
Mu Shen nodded slightly, his eyes showing determination, "Grandpa Xia, let's give it to Lin Cai."
"After all, the persistence in our hearts is the same. We vow to make sure those who have caused pain to Grandma Xia receive the sanctions and punishment they deserve."
Lin Cai's expression was equally solemn. He analyzed word by word, "That was an unforgivable crime of murder. According to the law, the most severe punishment could be life imprisonment or even the death penalty. The statute of limitations has expired after 20 years, but it is not excessive for us to continue pursuing the case."
Master Xia looked at the young men in front of him. The determination and indomitable spirit in their eyes made him feel emotional.
Finally, he nodded slowly, "Okay, I'll hand the things over to Lin Cai when I get back later. I'll leave the rest to you."
Thinking of Xia Lin, Grandpa Xia looked at his grandchildren in front of him, his eyes full of satisfaction and emotion: "Having you children is the best thing Xia Lin has done in his life. You are all good children."
Upon hearing this, Mu Shen and the others smiled at each other, with a smile that was filled with warmth and gratitude. "No, father, it should be said that we are lucky to have met you."
"It was he who gave us a warm home and made us feel a sense of belonging in this world. Every achievement we have today is inseparable from his careful teaching and selfless dedication."
"If it weren't for him, we might have been in some corner of this world, and we don't know what our fate would be."
"He has always treated us as his own children and has never had any prejudice against us because of the adoption."
"In front of outsiders, he always proudly called us 'sons'. We will never forget this deep friendship." As they spoke, their eyes were filled with deep respect and gratitude for Xia Lin.
"When our parents' close friends mentioned us, they always referred to us as the sons of Teacher Xia and Teacher Zhong. There were no other unnecessary words, especially the sensitive word "adopted", which never appeared in their mouths."
Although everyone knows the truth of the matter, it is not easy to keep it secret and not mention it in front of the parties involved.
However, whether it was their close friends or casual acquaintances with whom they occasionally interacted, they all seemed to have reached a tacit understanding - never discuss topics related to adoption in front of them, and certainly not ask them how they must respect Xia Lin and his wife in the future.
Mu Shen naturally understood this.
At this moment, a barely perceptible smile flashed across his face, which had originally been as cold as ice.
Old Master Xia looked at the children in front of him with loving eyes, his eyes revealing an unconcealable sense of relief.
He slowly said, "I have to admit that your father is much better than me. He has educated you so well, he is much better than me as a father!"
Speaking of this, Mr. Xia couldn't help but recall the past years.
In order to protect Xia Lin with all his strength, he had to make the difficult decision and forced Xia Lin to leave home. At that time, Xia Lin had just lost his loving mother and was already immersed in great grief, but he was forced to leave with deep resentment towards his biological father.
Recalling the look of despair and sadness in Xia Lin's eyes when he left, Grandpa Xia's heart felt like it was being pierced by thousands of needles at the same time, and the pain was unbearable.
He knew very well how disappointed and helpless Xia Lin must have felt at that moment.
"Grandpa Xia was so caring and loving to my father! You know, if a person has never felt love, how can he know how to care for others? And my father is such a loving person." Lin Cai held Grandpa Xia's hand tightly and said with great emotion.
When Mr. Xia heard this, his eyes welled up and his heart was filled with emotion and relief.
After Mu Shen got the report, he walked over and signaled Lin Cai to send the people back, and agreed that everyone would eventually meet at Leng Zexi and Ruoan’s new home.
After everyone arrived at their destination, Mu Shen took out a bottle of allergy medicine from his pocket and handed it to Ouyang Jin.
Ouyang Jin took the medicine bottle with a puzzled look on his face, looked at Mu Shen in confusion, and asked, "Why are you giving me this medicine?"
Mu Shen smiled slightly, raised his hand and pointed to the beautiful courtyard of the new house in front of him, and explained: "Ruo An and Leng Zexi's wedding room, the whole yard is full of colorful flowers, and now is the flowering season, those flowers are in full bloom."
"But for someone like you who is prone to pollen allergies, you can either take this anti-allergy pill and go in to enjoy the beautiful scenery, or you can only stand outside the door and wait for us to come out."
Zhong Zishu, who was standing by, also nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Mu Shen's statement: "Yes, the layout of this courtyard was completed according to the design drawings I provided to Leng Zexi!"
"What's even more rare is that many elements here come from Ruoan's own paintings, such as the garden she has always dreamed of. Now Leng Zexi has helped her turn it all into reality!"
Ouyang Jin listened helplessly, slowly reached out to take the bottle of allergy medicine, poured out a few pills, and swallowed them with his head tilted back.
His eyes were filled with bitterness and regret, and he muttered to himself, "Oh, this is really my fault! Why am I allergic to pollen? It would be fine if she was allergic to other things, but it had to be pollen... Now if Ruoan wants to grow flowers at home, she has to stay away from me."
Seeing this, Mu Shen, who was standing nearby, gently patted Ouyang Jin on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't blame yourself too much. After all, this is a physical problem, and it's not something you can change easily."
"Besides, don't we have a small vegetable garden at home? The vegetables grown there are fresh and healthy, and we can even save a lot of money on buying vegetables. Ruoan is quite satisfied with this."
However, Ouyang Jin's guilt did not diminish in the slightest. He sighed and continued, "But I always feel sorry for Ruo'an."
"She should have had her own little garden a long time ago, where she could arrange the beautiful flowers as she pleased. But because of my problem, it was delayed until now, and in the end she had to rely on other men to help her realize this wish.
When I think of this, I feel very uncomfortable. "
At this time, Mu Shen couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, time flies! I still remember that little baby back then, now he is married and about to have a baby!"
"Yes, brother, look at this situation. Doesn't it feel like my daughter is growing up?" Ouyang Jin sighed lightly and spoke slowly.
There was a hint of reluctance in his words that was hard to conceal.
"You guys don't want to let her go, right? Otherwise, why don't we just bring Ruoan back home? I really regret letting Ruoan get married!" Ouyang Jin turned his gaze to everyone and expressed his inner thoughts in a firm tone.
Hearing this, Zhong Zishu couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly, and responded unhappily: "You, return your precious equipment to Leng Zexi first!"
When Ouyang Jin heard this, he immediately shut his mouth like a deflated ball.
You know, that device is extremely precious and rare, and it may not be easy to buy it even if you have money.
Only Leng Zexi, who has extensive connections and strong financial resources, could have gone through so much trouble to help him get it.
But soon, Ouyang Jin cheered up again and promised solemnly: "Forget it, I have already applied for transfer back. In the future, I will pay more attention and will never let Ruoan suffer any injustice!"
At this moment, Ouyang Jin seemed to have suddenly remembered something important. He looked at him with concern and asked, "Brother, how is Grandpa Xia's health? Is he really alright?"
Mu Shen slowly closed his eyes, and after a moment of silence, he replied softly, "Yes, it's really okay. I will explain the situation to Dad in detail when I return. In fact, Grandpa Xia's condition is quite similar to that of Grandpa Uncle, mainly because of depression and a difficult problem in their hearts."
Ouyang Jin felt relieved when he heard him say that.
"It's all thanks to Ruoan that he asked me to go over and check, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to tell what Grandpa Xia's condition was." Mu Shen felt scared when he thought about it.
"If I hadn't discovered it and hadn't cured it, Grandpa Xia's outcome wouldn't be much better than Zhou Ling'er's." Mu Shen looked at them and said.
"Zhou Ling'er's health has deteriorated further and new conditions have emerged. She may not be able to last a year. She has now begun to fall into a deep sleep." Mu Shen has not yet figured out how to tell Xia Ruoan.
"Then can the wedding still be held?" Ouyang Jin couldn't bear to hear that.
