Gu Yi'an's expression was somewhat solemn.
Seeing his silence, Jiang Zhi continued.
"Uncle, I know you love Changge, and you still care about this daughter. She is your only and closest relative. You won't abandon her, right? Even until death, Auntie is still most worried about her. As long as you take one step, you can bring her back to your side, and she can put down her burden."
"..." Gu Yi'an moved her lips, but said nothing.
Jiang Zhi continued to persuade him, hoping to move Uncle Yi'an to take the first step. "In the past, Changge loved Ajin too much. She was young and a bit willful. But she has already paid the price and suffered. So much time has passed. Even if it is punishment for her, it is enough."
"..."
"Uncle, to be honest, Ajin is also in Jiangzhou. He met with Changge. Knowing Ajin's personality, do you think he'll let Changge have an easy time? You certainly can't bear to see her get hurt again, right? If they start fighting, it will only result in both of them losing."
"..."
"Bring Changge back to your side so you can protect her. With your care and love, Changge can move on, start thinking about her future, and begin anew. No one knows what the future holds, but happiness is in our own hands; we can create it."
"..."
"No matter how much your two families quarrel, it's a fact that Changge and Ajin have a child. The past shouldn't be blamed on the child, and I'm sure you don't want the child to know. Even if your relationship can't go back to what it was before, for the sake of the child, at least be on the surface and each of you should take a step back."
"..."
"Actually, it was Uncle Hao and Aunt Hao who asked me to help with this. They also like Changge, and they didn't want things to turn out this way. Ajin is quite stubborn, but Uncle and Aunt Hao are quite understanding. Over the years, they have hoped to gain your understanding. They feel deeply sorry for what cannot be undone."
"..."
“It was Ajin who went too far, so it’s right for you to blame him. Your aunt and uncle are also trying to persuade him; they still care about you and Changge.”
"..."
“I know you can’t let go right now. For Rui Rui’s sake, take a step forward and try. Rui Rui is already attending early childhood education. When he sees other children with mothers and he doesn’t, he’s unhappy and he cries. He’s growing up and becoming more sensible, and he’ll ask questions too. I hope you can be more peaceful and rational in resolving the past issues.”
"..."
“Ah Jin was so angry and resentful of Chang Ge, but Chang Ge was also wrong. I don’t deny that she loved Ah Jin and did it for his own good, but she shouldn’t have used those methods on Ah Jin. Using drugs was irrational, and the child was even more innocent.”
"..."
Gu Yi'an listened, but did not express her opinion.
At this moment, Qiao Chu and Rui Rui came out of the kitchen.
Rui Rui's hands were wet as he walked up to his grandfather.
"Grandpa, please clean my hands."
Instinctively, Gu Yi'an grabbed a few tissues and helped the little one wipe away the water stains.
Suddenly, the little guy became bolder and climbed onto his grandfather's lap.
"What did you say? Can I hear you? We've already washed the dishes."
Qiao Chu sat down next to Jiang Zhi, and he put his arm around her.
Jiang Zhi smiled, glanced at Qiao Chu, and then looked at Rui Rui. "I'll take you to Jiangzhou to see your mother, okay?"
"Is my mom really back?" Rui Rui tilted her head slightly, looking at her godfather with wide eyes, looking a little surprised.
Jiang Zhi nodded.
Rui Rui was very excited, waving her hands around.
"Yay! I'm going to see my mom and bring her home. I won't let her go abroad anymore. She can help patients here too."
Jiang Zhi: "My maternal grandfather was also a doctor, and he was very skilled."
Rui Rui: "When I grow up, I want to be a doctor too."
Jiang Zhi looked at Gu Yi'an: "Uncle, you can consider it. I'll wait for your reply. I plan to go to Jiangzhou and hope you can come with me. Please forgive me if I have offended you in any way!"
Gu Yi'an: "He's lucky to have a good friend like you. You're more sensible than him."
Jiang Zhi smiled and said, "Sometimes, I can be stubborn and get stuck in my own thoughts. When I was going through the toughest time, A Jin helped me a lot. Now I have my own family and I'm very happy. I also hope he can let go of his past regrets. Some truths you only truly understand after you've experienced them yourself."
Gu Yi'an: "You have a wonderful wife, one that he can't match."
Jiang Zhi: "Once, I fell into darkness, and I thought that I would be shrouded in darkness for the rest of my life. No, when God closes a door, he leaves a window open. Only those who know how to cherish can see that window. We should believe that they can open their hearts and they will be able to see that window."
Gu Yi'an: "Thank you for making this trip in person. I'll think about it. You're more mature, stable, and responsible than before."
Jiang Qing: "You flatter me! I also have heavy responsibilities, which I should bear. Over the years, I have learned a lot."
Rui Rui interjected, "Grandpa, come with me. Let's bring Mom back. She'll be so happy to see us."
Gu Yi'an: "Let me think about it! It's getting late, why don't you go back first?"
Jiang Qing has said everything he needed to say; pushing him too hard might backfire.
Jiang Zhi: "Okay! I'll wait for your call."
Jiang Zhi then gave Gu Yi'an a business card.
As they were about to go back, Rui Rui suddenly kissed her grandfather's cheek.
"I'll come see you again tomorrow and help you water the flowers."
Gu Yi'an finally showed a long-lost smile, "You're very good!"
"Grandpa, bye-bye!"
Gu Yi'an looked at his grandson and nodded.
He watched them leave.
...
Upon arriving home, Su Rui first coaxed her grandson to take a bath.
Jiang Zhi and Qiao Chu were in the living room talking to Nangong Hao.
Nangong Hao still cares about Gu Yi'an, but Gu Yi'an always keeps him at arm's length.
"How is Lao Gu? Has he been mean to Rui Rui?"
"Uncle Yi'an is alright, he didn't scold Rui Rui, and they get along quite well. Uncle Yi'an is quite happy, he likes Rui Rui."
Nangong Hao was relieved and smiled, "It's good that they're interacting. I also hope that Lao Gu can get over it. If Rui Rui can also open up his heart, as long as he's happy, our two families can raise this precious grandson together, both sides can recognize each other as relatives, and we hope to resume our ties."
Jiang Zhi: "Uncle An is considering it and should take the first step. He still loves Changge very much and should be willing to think about her. It's just that he might be quite angry with Ajin."
Nangong Hao: "I'll talk to that brat. If he's still so stubborn, I'll beat him up. If he bullies Changge again, we won't let him get away with it."
Jiang Zhi: "The day after tomorrow, I'll take Rui Rui to Jiangzhou. Children are the bridge between them."
