Chu Zhaozhao pointed to another photo, which was a solo photo of Xu Yu. He was holding a bunch of grapes and there was a pumpkin sitting under his butt.
Xu Shan seemed to like this photo very much, and the kindness in his eyes was almost overflowing.
"This is a photo of Xu Yu going to kindergarten for the first time. His mother accompanied him that day. I had originally agreed to take him to school together, but something unexpected happened at the company. He didn't blame me, but told me that I must take him to school tomorrow..."
After hearing what Xu Shan said, Chu Zhaozhao was even more confused. It was obvious that the father and son had always cared about each other.
Chu Zhaozhao couldn't understand why they had been arguing for so many years. It was obvious that the problem could be solved if one of them gave in first, but no one of them was willing to do so.
"Are you curious about what Xu Yu and I have been arguing about all these years?" Xu Shan asked Chu Zhaozhao.
Chu Zhaozhao nodded gently and said hesitantly, "Last time I persuaded Xu Yu to reconcile with you. Actually, I wasn't sure you would reconcile, but I knew Xu Yu must care about you, so I persuaded him, and you reconciled very quickly, faster than I expected."
Xu Shan took a deep breath and said, "After Xu Yu's mother passed away, Xu Yu sometimes blamed me for not understanding what his mother wanted and for not keeping his mother."
"Didn't Teacher Mo go to pursue her own dream? What does this have to do with whether you can keep her?" Chu Zhaozhao asked.
Xu Shan thought for a while and said, "Sometimes I also think that if I had strongly supported her development in China, regardless of whether she achieved any results or not, as long as she was happy, maybe Xiaoyu would be even better than she is now..."
"Uncle, since you think so, have you ever thought that if it weren't for you, Xu Yu wouldn't have achieved what he has today. He might still be like my third brother..."
Chu Zhaozhao realized that Chu Huaiyang was no longer the same as before, so she didn't say the rest of the words.
"Yes, if his mother and I hadn't divorced, Xu Yu might not have changed. But no matter what, these days I've been wondering whether I'm a qualified father and husband."
Xu Shan seemed to have thought of a lot, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes.
Chu Zhaozhao hurriedly comforted Xu Shan and at the same time defended Xu Yu.
"Xu Yu used to blame you, but he also blamed himself. He always felt bad after you quarreled. During the time you were in the hospital, he also reflected on himself and was more worried about you. So, uncle, don't think too much. Since you and Xu Yu have reconciled, everything is fine, right?"
Chu Zhaozhao spoke a long speech in one breath, and Xu Shan nodded repeatedly to show his approval after listening to it.
"Xu Yu, I'm grateful to have you as a friend."
Chu Zhaozhao didn't dare to let an elder express gratitude to her, so she quickly stopped Xu Shan from speaking.
"Uncle, Xu Yu and I are friends. We must help. It's all we should do."
Xu Shan seemed to want to say something else, but when he saw Chu Zhaozhao's sincere expression, he forced himself to hold his words back.
Chu Zhaozhao looked at the time. She had been here for a while. If she stayed any longer, she didn't know what to say to Xu Shan, so she stood up and prepared to leave.
"Okay then, Zhao Zhao, be careful when you leave."
Xu Shan originally wanted to keep Chu Zhaozhao for dinner, but he was afraid that Chu Zhaozhao would not like the food he was eating, so after thinking about it, he decided not to keep her.
Chu Zhaozhao said hello to Xu Shan and left, taking out her cell phone to hail a taxi.
Chu Zhaozhao looked at Xu Yu's avatar in WeChat, hesitating whether to take the initiative to tell Xu Yu that she came to see Xu Shan today.
After thinking about it, Chu Zhaozhao decided not to do it, so he waited patiently for his car to arrive.
When they got home, Chu Huaiyang had cooked porridge at home. Chu Zhaozhao was also hungry, so she ate some.
"Where did you rush off to after being discharged from the hospital today?" Chu Huaiyang asked curiously.
"I went to see Xu Yu's father. I was busy for the next few days, so I thought I'd go today. If Xu Yu asked about it, I'd have an easier time explaining it to him."
Chu Zhaozhao didn't tell Chu Huaiyang what she was going to do at the hospital gate because she was afraid that Chu Huaiyang would stop her. Now that she is back, she is naturally not afraid anymore.
“You…”
Chu Huaiyang didn't know how to describe Chu Zhaozhao and Xu Yu now.
"Didn't you just reject Xu Yu? Don't you feel embarrassed to meet his father?" Chu Huaiyang asked sincerely.
Chu Zhaozhao thought about it and felt a little embarrassed for a moment, but fortunately, after being an actor for a long time, she had become much thicker-skinned.
"Third brother, look at what you said. I'm not going to see Xu Yu, just to see his father. Besides, he has already entrusted his father to me. I don't have to worry about it. I'll just go and take a look."
Chu Zhaozhao's words were well-reasoned, and Chu Huaiyang felt he had nothing to say. He could only watch Chu Zhaozhao drink her porridge mouthful by mouthful.
"Third brother, your porridge is very well cooked. It tastes better than the ones sold outside." Chu Zhaozhao smiled and said good things about Chu Huaiyang.
Chu Huaiyang obviously still fell for this trick, with a smug expression on his face.
"If you can avoid drinking at the award ceremony tomorrow, please do so. You just got out of the hospital, so you can't work so hard." Chu Huaiyang reminded Chu Zhaozhao.
Chu Zhaozhao agreed, but Chu Huaiyang believed that Chu Zhaozhao would still drink when it was time to drink.
The doorbell rang, Chu Huaiyang went to open the door, and standing outside was Teacher Qian and his assistant.
"Teacher Qian, long time no see." Chu Zhaozhao walked up and greeted Teacher Qian.
Teacher Qian looked at Chu Zhaozhao's house and said, "I heard from Sister Wei that this is your new house. It's nice, but I brought a lot of equipment today. Do you have a special room for me..."
"Yes, yes, this room is empty. There is also a cloakroom here, but it's a bit small."
Chu Huaiyang pointed to the room and took his assistant over.
Teacher Qian signaled his assistant to go in and make the arrangements first, then looked at Chu Zhaozhao.
"You seem to have gained some weight, but you look better. You just don't look very good."
"I just got discharged from the hospital." Chu Zhaozhao explained.
Teacher Qian asked Chu Zhaozhao how she felt now, and felt relieved when she heard Chu Zhaozhao say that she was fine.
"When attending this kind of award ceremony, it doesn't matter whether you win an award or not. What matters is that you walk the red carpet well. This time the dress is relatively simple and won't have a sparkling feeling, but it is guaranteed to make others' eyes light up." Teacher Qian said confidently.
After the last time, Chu Zhaozhao had witnessed Teacher Qian's abilities and naturally trusted Teacher Qian very much.
"Only you, Sister Wei, can invite me to the artist's home. Look at my eating utensils. I usually don't allow others to move them, but today I moved directly to your house." Teacher Qian said with regret as if his heart was bleeding.
Chu Zhaozhao knew that Teacher Qian had sacrificed a lot, so she said a few nice words to Teacher Qian. Teacher Qian felt relieved and smiled more often.
The assistant and Chu Huaiyang had already arranged the room and called Teacher Qian and Chu Zhaozhao.
