"No, even if this is the case, I still can't forgive myself."
For so many years, Xing Zhuo has locked himself in the ancestral hall, never interacting with others, in order to atone for his sins.
I hope the ancestor of the Xing family can keep his wife and children healthy and safe, and prevent any more accidents.
Mr. Xing Zhuo burst into tears and held Yi Yao in his arms, finally feeling better in his heart.
When Xing Yan on the side saw this scene, his eyes were full of complexity, but his legs felt as heavy as lead.
Since what happened that year, he has never said a word to Xing Zhuo, and he has supported the entire family and company by himself.
In Xing Yan's heart, he blamed Xing Zhuo. Even if Yi Yao is found now, he still can't forgive him.
After a long time, Yi Yao separated from Xing Zhuo and looked back at Xing Yan, who was standing not far away.
"Brother, come here!" Yi Yao called out to Xing Yan before walking over.
Xing Zhuo's self-blaming and guilty eyes came to Xing Yan, and he said in a deep voice, "Ayan, you are still blaming me, right?"
"What do you think?" Xing Yan asked back, his voice even colder.
Xing Zhuo sighed, "Forget it, you can blame me if you want. Now that Yuanyuan has been found, I don't expect anything more."
As long as their family can be healthy, nothing else matters.
Over the years in the ancestral hall, Xing Zhuo has looked down upon it a lot.
Yi Yao had a clear view of the relationship between father and son, and knew Xing Yan's feelings towards Xing Zhuo, so he couldn't help but admonish him.
"Brother, Dad, how can a family have an overnight feud, let alone how can a husband and wife not quarrel? Let the past matter be in the past. Can we stop worrying about it?"
For Yi Yao's sake, Xing Yan rarely called "Father" for the first time in more than 20 years.
Xing Zhuo was stunned for a moment, even more excited than when he saw Yi Yao just now, "Ayan, what did you just call me? Can you call me again?"
But Xing Yan said coldly, rejecting Xing Zhuo's request, "Don't push yourself too far."
When Xing Yan said this, Xing Zhuo sighed helplessly and could no longer force the other party.
Yi Yao understood Xing Yan's mood. Although she wanted to see a harmonious family, she couldn't make decisions for others.
He simply changed the subject, "Dad, brother, I'm a little hungry, let's eat!"
Hearing this, both Xing Yan and Xing Zhuo put aside their unhappiness and began to care about Yi Yao's taste.
The father and son seemed to only care about Yi Yao, asking for help, fearing that they were not doing enough.
Especially after having Xing Zhuo, Xing Yan seems to be deliberately trying to compete with him, and he is much more proactive than before.
Looking at the two extremely enthusiastic people, the corners of Yi Yao's mouth twitched. She was really flattered by this sudden change.
Yi Yao had the answer in her heart. It seemed that in this family, as long as she was there, there would be no need to worry about the relationship between Xing Yan and Xing Zhuo becoming tense.
Suddenly, a cry came out, which caught the attention of Yi Yao and the others, and they remembered Xing Mu's existence.
Yi Yao couldn't help but joke, "It seems that this little guy feels that we have neglected him, and is deliberately trying to make his presence felt here."
While talking, Yi Yao took Xing Mu out of the stroller and said, "Hey, mommy is talking to uncle and grandpa, so she's not ignoring you."
After having a child, Yi Yao became much gentler and more mature than before, exuding the brilliance of motherhood.
Xing Yan stared at Xing Mu's fleshy little face, and the more he looked at it, the happier he became, "They say boys look like uncles. This boy looks exactly like A Yan when he was a child."
"Really? I still don't know what my brother looked like when he was a child." Yi Yao became curious and eager to know.
Xing Zhuo said quickly: "Just wait for me and I will take out the photo album and show it to you."
"Okay." Yi Yao responded.
Xing Yan didn't want to reminisce about the past with Xing Zhuo, so she looked at Yi Yao and said, "You guys chat first, I'll go to the kitchen to take a look."
After saying that, Xing Yan turned around and left, even his back showed his unwillingness to forgive Xing Zhuo.
Yi Yao sighed softly and murmured to himself, "It seems that if I want to eliminate the gap between brother and father, I need to work harder!"
After a while, Xing Zhuo hurried towards Yi Yao with a photo album in his arms.
The father and daughter are sitting on the sofa, with Xing Mu in the middle. The scene is incredibly warm.
Before I knew it, when it was time to eat, I thought we would still be a happy family.
Unexpectedly, several uninvited guests came to the house, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Is this my cousin?"
As soon as Xing Nana opened her mouth, she provoked Yi Yao without caring about the face of the two families.
After he finished speaking, an elderly middle-aged man also took up the topic, "I don't think it looks like it. Maybe this person has evil intentions and impure intentions."
Xing Yan looked displeased. How could his biological sister, who had spent so much effort to get her back, tolerate such insults from others?
With a snap, he put the chopsticks away and cast his cold eyes on Xing Nana and his daughter, feeling full of oppression.
"Uncle, cousin, if you two are here to eat, then I welcome you. But if you are here to cause trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The seemingly calm tone was actually vaguely threatening. Xing Yan would never allow anyone to destroy his family again.
When Xing Yan said this, Xing Fei blushed, "Hey, you brat, how do you talk to your elders?"
Xing Nana also echoed, "That's right, cousin, don't let some people fool you!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Xing Zhuo spoke, and his rich voice reached the ears of everyone present.
"Brother, do you think that I, the head of the Xing family, am dead?"
This is the first time Xing Zhuo has appeared in many years, and Xing Fei has long since ignored him.
However, he still had to give him the face he deserved. Xing Fei smiled but said, "Second brother, what you said is too serious. I just want to confirm the bloodline of our Xing family to avoid being betrayed by someone who cares."
In Xing Fei's words, everything he did was for the good of the Xing family, so Xing Zhuo could not blame him.
Seeing his father and brother being tortured, how could Yi Yao sit still and stand up to meet Xing Fei's eyes.
"This must be my father's eldest brother, so according to seniority, I should call you uncle."
Yi Yao's speech and behavior are full of politeness, and compared to the bandit-like Xing Nana and Xing Fei, she has a more elegant demeanor.
Before Xing Fei could speak, Yi Yao continued: "If my uncle and cousin have any objections to my identity, I wouldn't mind going to the hospital with you for a paternity test, but..."
