Chen Jing's words came from the heart.
In fact, she was not very confident that her uncle would really listen to her, it just happened that she wanted to say it at that time.
After hearing this, Chen Zhensheng's expression, which had been somewhat gloomy, gradually relaxed.
He put down his chopsticks.
He lowered his head slightly and stared at the plate in front of him in a daze.
After a long time, he slowly took a breath.
It's like I figured something out.
Then he looked up and turned towards Chen Fan.
"Your sister said that we didn't really understand you. I admit that over the years, I really didn't take the time to listen to what you said. I just wanted to tie you back to me, under my nose, so that I could see you at any time, and then I would feel at ease."
Halfway through the conversation,
Chen Zhensheng paused slightly.
She looked at her son up and down again and again with complicated and loving eyes.
"I know that you blame me for your mother's passing, which is why you left the country all alone without saying a word. I'm not trying to defend myself. I just want to tell you that as a father, as the eldest brother of the Chen family, and as the breadwinner of several employees in the company, I have so many frustrations. In the blink of an eye, you've grown up so much, but my impression of you is still that of a child. I always felt that you acted too impulsively and inconsiderately, and I was afraid that you would suffer. Today, Jingjing's words really woke me up."
Chen Fan didn't expect that his father would suddenly open his heart to him and say so many words that had been buried in his heart for many years. For the first time, he felt that he was respected, understood, and even loved in front of his father.
Since he was a child, his father always looked stern. Every day when he came home from get off work, his father would ask him how his homework was going and whether he had gotten into trouble. He didn't care about anything else. His mother often told Chen Fan that his father was very tired and had a hard time, and had his own helplessness, but Chen Fan didn't understand. No matter how busy he was, could his family be more important?
Especially since his mother was ill and her health was getting worse day by day, and his father had visited her only a few times, which made Chen Fan hate his father even more. The boy's extremism also began to grow at this time. He started skipping school, started fighting, and became capricious. He would fly into a rage if he disagreed with something. In fact, if you think about it carefully, he did this because he hoped that his father would pay more attention to him.
As a result, his father did not change until his mother died, and Chen Fan left with a heart full of disappointment and resentment.
Time flies, and so many years have passed. He is no longer the young boy he used to be, and his father is no longer the high-spirited CEO he used to be. He has also started to have white hair, and is gradually getting older and losing his physical strength.
Chen Fan thought that with the passage of time, he had long forgotten everything he had pursued in the past. Until he heard his father's review of him after many years, he finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
Chen Fan lowered his head, his eyes gradually became moist, and his hands rested on his knees helplessly, like a wronged child.
"Dad, over the years, have you ever felt sorry for Mom or me?"
Chen Fan's low voice couldn't cover up the sob in his tone.
When talking about his mother, Chen Fan became even softer.
The same is true for Chen Zhensheng. That is his eternal weakness.
But the heavy burden on his shoulders prevented him from acting as recklessly in front of everyone as Chen Fan.
Chen Zhensheng raised his hand to wipe his face, his tightly closed eyes showing some pain.
Chen Jing sat between the two of them and took in everything.
This father and son need a lot of communication, and Chen Jing thinks it might be better to leave some space for them to talk alone.
After making the decision, Chen Jing picked up the bag silently.
He walked out quietly,
The room was so stuffy that the atmosphere made Chen Jing feel very complicated.
At this moment, she suddenly wanted to call her parents, so she did it.
Chen Jing walked to the platform outside and sat down. She took out her cell phone from her bag and when she flipped to the address book, she paused. After thinking about it, she decided it would be better to make a video call.
The video only rang briefly before being picked up.
The smile on Chen Jing's face suddenly spread.
"Mom~"
Chen Jing called out coquettishly.
Mother Chen's face was gentle, and she looked at her with a smile on her lips.
"What's wrong? Are you willing to call me today?"
If you think about it carefully, it seems that apart from her parents calling her, she rarely calls her family members on her own initiative.
Chen Jing felt a little guilty.
"Mom, I miss you and Dad."
Father Chen listened to his daughter's coquettish words on the other end of the phone, smiling and muttering,
"Look, no matter how old she is, she still loves to act like a spoiled brat."
His tone was full of doting.
Chen Jing felt extremely happy. Probably the luckiest thing in her life was having such a pair of parents who loved and supported her unconditionally.
Chen Jing's desire to share was particularly strong today. Outside the restaurant, Chen Jing was chatting with her family, and inside the restaurant, the father and son were also being frank with each other.
"Dad knows I owe you and your mom so much over the years. From now on, I will learn to respect and understand you. But there is one thing, no, two things you have to promise me."
Chen Zhensheng suddenly proposed a condition. Chen Fan, who was trying to calm down his excitement, was slightly stunned. He just said he respected himself, so why did he start to negotiate conditions?
However, since they agreed to understand each other, Chen Fan nodded.
"You speak first."
Chen Zhensheng cleared his throat and said seriously,
"First of all, you must go home and visit your family more often. Stop disappearing all the time and making me contact people everywhere to find you."
Chen Fan smacked his lips, his mind filtering for a moment.
Nodded in agreement.
"Second point, find me a girlfriend and bring her home! For personal matters, you need to be patient with me."
Chen Fan didn't expect that the two of them would be urged to get married just as they were reconciling.
But why did these words sound so familiar to him, as if he had heard them not long ago.
Before Chen Fan could think of anything, Chen Zhensheng interrupted him.
"Did you hear that? Hold on tight, pay attention!"
Chen Fan knew that as a child, he could not escape this hurdle no matter what.
But even though I agreed, there was nothing I could do if I couldn't find him.
It's not a big deal if you think about it.
Chen Fan tapped his fingers on the table.
"make a deal!"
After Chen Jing finished her video call with her parents, she turned back to the private room and faintly heard her uncle's laughter through the door.
Chen Jing couldn't help but smile.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw a rare harmonious scene between father and son.
Chen Fan boasted about his bar and chatted with his uncle in a vivid and colorful manner.
Seeing Chen Jing coming back,
Chen Fan's eyes turned, "If you don't believe me, ask Jingjing."
Chen Jing was put on the shelf, nodding and praising.
Of course, it’s the truth!
