The two went to the study alone, and Su Luo finally couldn't help but ask a question.
"Dad, where's Mom?"
Although he grew up without parents, I don't know why.
His longing for his father was far less intense than his longing for his mother.
He often felt that he could live without a father, as long as he had a mother.
Lin Ye spoke with remorse.
"She has passed away..."
Lin Ye gave Su Luo a complete overview of what happened back then.
After hearing this, Su Luo felt a chill run through her heart.
It turns out my father was a scumbag. He didn't treat my mother well and was always having affairs, which made my mother heartbroken and leave home with him when he was just a month old.
They took him to the orphanage gate and then jumped into the river.
Seeing Su Luo's distress, Lin Ye hurriedly pressed down on his shoulder and said sincerely.
"I'm sorry, I promise I'll make it up to you. I'll transfer half of all my shares to your name. Please give Dad a chance? Please forgive me?"
Su Luo took a step back, creating distance between them, and said bitterly.
Do you believe money is everything?
I can't forgive him, I absolutely can't forgive him.
His beloved mother was already dead, indirectly caused by his father.
How could he accept that?
What good would it do to give him shares? He's not short of money now. His father didn't show up when he was in his most difficult time, so what's the use of him showing up now?
Does he love himself? He just feels guilty. He feels sorry for his deceased mother, and of course, he feels sorry for himself for making himself suffer for so many years.
Seeing how well Lin Xiyue and her mother lived, he felt extremely resentful.
Why did the father only become a good man after losing the mother, giving all his love to his second wife and daughter?
If he gladly accepted his father's gift and forgave him on behalf of his mother, would his mother rest in peace in the afterlife?
Lin Ye said anxiously.
"Whatever you want from me, as long as you forgive me and acknowledge me as your father, we'll do anything."
Su Luo glanced around the study, picked up a solo photograph of her mother from the bookshelf, and smiled.
"Just give me this photo."
Lin Ye's heart skipped a beat: "Anything else?"
Su Luo said calmly.
"That's all. I don't need you to do anything. You can continue living your happy life with your wife and daughter. I'm doing just fine now. Let's pretend we never met."
"..."
Lin Ye's face turned deathly pale in an instant.
He had imagined countless times the scene of recognizing his son, but he never expected that his son would not accept him.
He simply made a mistake that most men would make, and the current situation was not his intention.
He has now sincerely begged his son for forgiveness and offered him half of the family fortune he has accumulated over most of his life, but the son has refused and disowned him.
Why should I treat myself like this? I suppressed my dissatisfaction and restrained myself.
"You have my blood in your veins, how can you not acknowledge me? I am your father, that is an unchangeable fact!"
Su Luo really didn't want to argue with him; she just wanted to take the photos and leave. But since he had said such things, she felt she had to have a proper talk with him. She sneered.
“You are my father, but you have never raised me for a single day. You have not fulfilled even the slightest responsibility that a father should have. You even drove my mother to her death. Why should I acknowledge you?”
Lin Ye was stung by the coldness and aloofness in Su Luo's eyes and said urgently.
“I didn’t force her. She was the one who couldn’t think straight. She secretly took you away. I didn’t want it to happen either.”
Su Luo was even more disappointed in her father. She shook her head helplessly, quickly left the study, and left behind a sentence.
"People always have to pay the price for their mistakes!"
Lin Ye watched Su Luo's departing figure and slumped into a chair in despair.
At that moment, he realized this deeply.
Not all mistakes can be undone.
There are no second chances in life, and no room for regret.
...
Su Luo left the Lin family with Ye Xiaoman.
The two got into the back seat of the car.
The driver skillfully started the car, and the speed was steady.
Su Luo stared at her mother's photo, silent, head bowed, her face grim.
Ye Xiaoman had no idea what was going on. She squeezed his arm worriedly and asked in a low voice.
"What's wrong?"
That's so strange.
When Su Luo was at the hospital, she was very happy. After being alone for so many years, finding her family should be a joyous occasion.
How did things turn out like this after he went into his father's study?
Su Luo seemed not to hear, continuing to stare silently at her mother's photo.
"..."
Seeing that Su Luo didn't speak, Ye Xiaoman didn't press him for details, thinking she would talk about it when she got home.
But when they got home, Su Luo still didn't say anything.
As if possessed, he curled up on the sofa, staring intently at his mother's photo.
Ye Xiaoman couldn't hold back any longer. She snatched the photo, held it above her head, and said anxiously.
"What's wrong with you? Don't scare me, okay?"
Su Luoteng stood up abruptly, snatched the photo from her hand, her voice helpless and hoarse.
"Give it back to me! Give it back to me!"
Helpless, Ye Xiaoman could only return the photo to him, sit down beside him, press down on his shoulder, force him to face her, and anxiously said.
"What happened? I'm so worried about you. Please tell me."
Su Luo slowly raised her head, tears welling up in large drops, and said in a trembling voice.
“My mother is long gone… He drove her to her death, and he still expects me to forgive him? On what grounds? Why should I forgive him? Does he think he can make up for his mistakes by giving me some shares?”
"What?"
Ye Xiaoman was greatly shocked. The "he" Su Luo mentioned should be Lin Ye, Su Luo's biological father.
Lin Ye drove his wife to her death? How could this be?
Su Luo sniffed and choked up.
"Xiaoman, I didn't do anything wrong, did I? I'm not unfilial, am I? I have the right to disown him, right?"
"That's right, you're not wrong, you have the right to refuse him."
Ye Xiaoman hugged Su Luo tightly, wiping away his tears and comforting him.
Su Luo hugged Ye Xiaoman tightly, trying to draw enough warmth from her soft body, closed his eyes, and said weakly.
"It hurts so much... I used to think that no matter what their reasons were for abandoning me, as long as they had even the slightest bit of hardship, I would forgive them. But I never expected it to turn out like this. I really can't accept it, you know?"
Ye Xiaoman had no idea what Su Luo was thinking, but she could sense that he was really devastated at the moment, so she could only do her best to comfort him and gently pat his back.
"I know, I know."
I couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.
It would have been better not to acknowledge this relative, as it only caused Su Luo more pain.
