He actually knew so early on! He thought he had kept it a secret very well!
"That's true, ha, if I really didn't know, perhaps I wouldn't have..."
Grandpa Qin didn't continue speaking, but looked at Ji Muhan with a complicated expression, his eyes constantly glistening with tears. The fact that a nearly eighty-year-old man looked like he could collapse at any moment would have caused others to panic and be at a loss.
However, standing in front of him was Ji Muhan, so—aside from frowning and opening his mouth slightly, he ultimately said nothing and lowered his brows.
The old man was deeply remorseful. He realized that he hadn't done a single thing right all these years. He felt ashamed of himself and Ah Zi!
If he really didn't know anything, he wouldn't have hated his father so much later, and he wouldn't have moved out alone and lived in the military compound with Yang Cheng when he was twelve years old, despite Grandpa Ji's objections.
They'd rather suffer alone than let them bring him here!
His eyelashes trembled slightly, and his lips quivered as he stared at Ji Muhan. After several seconds of silence, he finally managed to find his voice, "Child, why have I never heard you mention this before all these years?"
His voice was very hoarse, with the characteristic tone of an old man, sounding very old and slow, and his pronunciation was somewhat unclear.
However, Ji Muhan heard everything clearly, and stared calmly at the floor on the other side without saying a word.
Old Master Qin looked at Ji Muhan with eyes full of tenderness, wanting to step forward to comfort him, or perhaps to repent and seek his forgiveness…
However, the young man before them was no longer the immature child who was not yet eleven years old.
He is now a strong and upright man, and a special forces soldier who can protect his country. His repentance and guilt are belated and meaningless.
Because Ah Zi could never come back, everything still happened, and... the wound in his heart had been deeply etched into his heart.
It's pointless... nothing I do will make a difference...
It's their fault!
They all owed him, every single one of them owed him!
This is all the fault of his father, and the fault of himself...the fault of all these people. One wrong step leads to another, ultimately resulting in this irreversible situation!
He silently bore all this suffering, and never uttered a word to them over the years!
His gaze lingered for a long time before he gave a defeated smile. "Your uncle is right. What happened in person was my fault."
His words were filled with undisguised self-deprecation and guilt.
"If I hadn't been the one to arrange their marriage, if I hadn't agreed to it without hesitation when your grandmother came to propose, perhaps things wouldn't be like this now."
“Your mother wouldn’t have been in this situation. It’s all my fault.” Old Master Qin slumped onto the bed in despair.
Fortunately, there were no porcelain vases or other decorative items on the bedside table, otherwise he would have been injured with such a commotion!
Ji Muhan's gaze was cool, and she replied indifferently, "This has nothing to do with you, you don't need to blame yourself too much."
In fact, if his mother hadn't married his father, he might not exist. And given his father's personality, even if he loved his mother, what was meant to happen would still happen.
Old Master Qin covered his face with his hands; his thin body looked like nothing more than a skeleton, as thin as it could possibly be.
He slowly buried himself in a posture of repentance, his shoulders trembling slightly.
Sobbing repeatedly, she said, "It's all...my fault, all of this is...my fault."
His voice wasn't loud, but it was heard very clearly in the enclosed room.
Ji Muhan heard his pain and regret clearly.
He thought that Qin Yangcheng's words had ultimately left a great impact on him.
He seemed to have never seen him so helpless before!
A fleeting emotion flashed in Ji Muhan's eyes. After a moment of silence, she said slowly, "I have never thought of blaming anyone, and I have never blamed you."
He didn't want to become like his mother and father. Complaining and blaming others was the most useless thing, and he didn't want to become that kind of person.
Although I may have hated everyone at first, those feelings have long since faded over the years…
Old Master Qin sighed softly, his gaze distant. "Over the years, I know you've never truly let go. I wanted to tell you about this back then..."
But he was in such a bad state at the time that he didn't dare to bring it up.
"Later, I was afraid to bring it up because you had finally calmed down and were willing to move forward, so I never asked you about it."
He understood that there were certain things he already knew even without being asked!
Ji Muhan's eyelashes trembled violently several times. Her expression was indifferent, but inevitably influenced by the old man, her voice trembled slightly, "You don't need to do this."
What happened back then wasn't his fault. If we're talking about whose fault it was, the one who should be blamed first is... him.
He was also a father who had lost his daughter, and his pain was no less than mine. He had no right to blame him!
He has witnessed his suffering over the years; he is not cold-blooded or heartless, and he cannot remain indifferent.
Grandpa Qin sighed helplessly, then changed the subject, turning to look at him with a deep voice, and said earnestly, "I think that young girl is a good person, and her personality is also very good. If you really like her, don't hesitate."
