Chapter 5 Reconciliation The person who had been stubborn all his life finally let go of his pride...
After Ling Yi left the room, Ling Siyan took the phone, opened the contacts, and looked at the word "Dad" at the top, her eyes full of guilt.
She lost her mother at a young age and her father was busy with his career, so the two of them did not have a close relationship, especially when her father brought her brother Ling Mo home when she was 5 years old. She felt that half of her father's love, which was already limited, would be taken away, and she was extremely resistant to the arrival of her brother.
After Ling Mo started to go in and out of the Ling's Group with his father at the age of 16, he became even more convinced that his father favored his brother and wanted to hand over the Ling's Group to his brother. From then on, his attitude towards the two of them became more and more sharp.
Their father-daughter relationship reached a freezing point when Ling Yuan demanded that they break up in an extremely tough manner when she brought Han Jisheng to meet his parents at the age of 18.
She left the Ling family because of her father's words "If you insist on marrying Han Jisheng, I will pretend that you are not my daughter", and she never went back for more than ten years.
The father and daughter have exactly the same temperament, both are stubborn and unwilling to give in to the other.
When the news of her death in a car accident in her previous life reached her father, he fainted on the spot. Although her life was not in danger due to timely rescue, he suffered a stroke due to the shock.
Ling Siyan closed her eyes, suppressed the turbulent emotions in her heart, and dialed the number.
At the same time, in the office of the chairman of Ling Group far away in City A, Ling Yuan was resting with his eyes closed.
Although he is over sixty years old, he does not look old at all. Only the slight silver hair on his temples reveals that he is no longer young.
Perhaps it is because he has been in a high position for many years, even if he is just sitting there, his invisible aura makes people dare not underestimate him.
When the phone rang, Ling Yuan picked up the vibrating phone and looked at the caller ID. It was a number with no remarks, and the number came from J City.
Ling Yuan's eyes fixed on the number, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, just before hanging up, he suddenly woke up from a dream and quickly pressed the answer button.
There was silence on the other end of the line.
Ling Yuan's expression didn't change much, but the trembling muscles on his cheeks showed that his heart was not as calm as he appeared.
"dad."
After a long time, a soft call with a slight tremor came from the other end.
Ling Yuan moved his lips but said nothing.
"Dad, I'm sorry."
Ling Yuan said in a hoarse voice, "So, you still remember that you have a father!"
"Dad, I was wrong." After a pause, the voice on the other end choked up a little, "Dad, I want to go home."
Once you step out of this house today, never come back.
Over the years, Ling Yuan has regretted countless times what he said in anger, but Ling Siyan refused to give him any way out and has been gone for so many years.
Ling Yuan closed his eyes. "That was just what Dad said in anger. Why did you take it seriously? The Ling family will always be your home. You can come back whenever you want."
The man who had been stubborn all his life finally let go of his pride and gave in: "Dad has been waiting for you to come home all these years."
Ling Siyan on the other end of the phone finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears.
Ling Yuan's eyes were also red. He felt sad when he heard the crying beside him. He was not good at comforting people and could only say, "Don't cry. If you have been wronged, tell Dad and he will take care of it for you."
In Ling Yuan's opinion, Ling Siyan has a strong personality and must have suffered a great injustice outside, which is why she cried like this.
Thinking of this, Ling Yuan's eyes couldn't help but turn a little cold.
How dare you bully Ling Yuan's daughter? Do you think Ling Yuan is dead?
Ling Siyan had already calmed down and shook her head. Thinking that Ling Yuan on the other end of the phone couldn't see her, she said, "No, I'm fine here."
"That's right. If you want to go back, you have to wait three months."
Ling Yuan frowned: "Why do we have to wait three months?"
"Your grandson will take the high school entrance exam in three months. We will go back after he finishes the exam."
Ling Yuan said without thinking: "Isn't it okay to come now? It's better to combine work and rest when studying. Bring him to City A to have some fun and relax. After playing, go back and study. Maybe the learning efficiency will be higher."
"Dad, we won't come back this time."
"Not going back?" Ling Yuan went over this in his mind, as if he couldn't believe it, "Are you serious?"
"Um."
"Okay, okay." Ling Yuan said repeatedly, with a hint of smile on his serious face.
Ling Siyan couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat when she heard the obvious joy in Ling Yuan's tone.
But Ling Yuan quickly realized, "Why do we have to wait three months? Can't we just transfer our student status here and take the high school entrance exam in City A?"
But before Ling Siyan could answer, Ling Yuan remembered something: "I remember that Chengyu is 17 this year? He is going to take the college entrance examination, right?"
"It's not Han Chengyu, it's Ling Yi."
"Ling Yi?" Ling Yuan's tone was a little hesitant. "That child, you are not..."
Although Ling Siyan has been away these years, how could Ling Yuan really ignore her?
Naturally, I know her attitude towards Ling Yi.
"Dad, let me tell you something. Be prepared!"
Ling Yuan was a little flustered by Ling Siyan's tone: "What's the matter? Tell me."
"I will go back in three months. Besides bringing the child, I will also bring," Ling Siyan whispered, "the child's father."
"Who else? Speak louder, I can't hear you clearly."
"And the child's father."
"The child's father? Han Jisheng?" Ling Yuan's voice suddenly rose. "You got involved with that bastard again? How did you..."
"It's not Han Jisheng." Ling Siyan quickly explained, "It's Ling Yi's father."
"Ling Yi's father?" Ling Yuan repeated in a low voice. When he heard that it was not Han Jisheng, Ling Yuan first breathed a sigh of relief. Then his eyebrows raised.
"What does he do? How old is he? Has he been married before? Who else is in his family? Are they easy to get along with? Are there any..." After asking a series of questions like a machine gun, Ling Yuan suddenly paused.
I didn't bring him home so you could interrogate him like a criminal.
The dissatisfied words of Ling Siyan when she was a girl seemed to ring in her ears again.
"Yan Yan, I'm not..." Ling Yuan sighed, "Forget it, I won't ask anymore, just know it yourself."
The relationship between the two had just eased, so he should not make things worse and make the relationship, which had just been broken, become rigid again.
Ling Siyan's heart ached, and she remembered what she had said that year.
She was young and ignorant, and was dissatisfied with her father's tyranny and dominance. She also resented that he took her brother to the Ling Group when he was 16 years old, but asked her to study hard. So when facing these two people, she said whatever hurtful words she wanted.
She was unhappy, so she didn't let them have an easy life.
In fact, it only hurts others and yourself.
Ling Siyan tried to hold back the discomfort of a cotton-clogged throat and said, "Dad, I know you are worried about me."
Raising a child for a hundred years means worrying for ninety-nine years.
She truly and thoroughly understood her father when Han Chengyu found Su Ranran as his girlfriend in her previous life.
She was afraid that he would meet the wrong person and waste half his life.
Just as her father was worried about her back then.
"Dad, you actually know that guy."
"Hmm? I've seen him. Who is it?" Ling Yuan asked while recalling a talented man in City A who was about the same age as Ling Siyan and was still single.
"Do you still remember Lu Xiao, the man who saved me when I was kidnapped?"
When Ling Siyan said this, Ling Yuan suddenly remembered, "The one who stayed with you as a bodyguard later, was it him?"
"Yes, it was him. He was actually the one who saved me back then."
Ling Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, "I remember he was also an orphan?"
The reason I say that is because Han Jisheng is an orphan.
"Yes, Dad. But he is different from Han Jisheng. You will know when I bring him back to you."
Hearing his daughter defending that man, Ling Yuan couldn't help but snorted, "It's not like I haven't seen it before."
"That kid," Ling Yuan paused and couldn't help sighing, "If you had been looking for this man from the beginning, I wouldn't have been so opposed."
Ling Siyan was silent.
Because her father refused to let her join the company, she believed that her father favored boys over girls and wanted to leave the company to his adopted son and let her marry out, so she looked down on Han Jisheng who had nothing.
Therefore, the more he opposed, the more determined she became to marry him.
Later, her marriage ended in failure, but she was still unwilling to go home. Instead, she moved far away from City A. It was not because she did not feel she was wrong.
On the contrary, she knew she was wrong, extremely wrong, so she was too ashamed to go back to see her father.
"So, Dad, you approve of Lu Xiao?" Ling Siyan asked tentatively.
Ling Yuan snorted, "If I don't approve of you, will you just listen to me and give up on him?"
Ling Siyan was speechless.
Ling Yuan snorted again: "I don't know who you take after with your stubborn temper. Once you make up your mind about something, you won't turn back even if you hit a wall."
Ling Siyan thought about it and said, "Dad, you have to be confident. People look like their children. I must look like you!"
Ling Yuan laughed, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, and he quickly came to his senses, "Bring him back so I can see him."
"Okay, Dad." Ling Siyan responded quickly.
"So why do you have to come back in three months? Can't you transfer your student status here and take the high school entrance exam?" Ling Yuan was very persistent in getting back to the topic.
Ling Siyan was silent for a while, then said, "I have not been a competent mother to Ayi all these years. His head teacher has always cared about him and wanted to help him. Although Ayi didn't say it, I know he remembers the favor. He must want to give his teacher a satisfactory answer."
Ling Yuan sighed and nodded, "It's my duty." Then he remembered something, "Now that you're back, what about your company?"
"I will select the right person to manage it."
"Then come back and join the group! The position of president is reserved for you."
While speaking, Ling Yuan did not notice that the office door, which had been left a crack, closed silently.
Ling Siyan's eyes flashed, "You can join the group, but I won't take the position of president. I'll just help you and my brother."
Speaking of Ling Mo, Ling Siyan remembered something, "Oh, by the way, Dad, there is a female artist named Qiao Shiyu in Canxing Entertainment. You should pay attention to her. If she encounters any trouble, you should help her secretly. It would be best if you can dig her to Huaying. Or let me do this, that would be even better."
