Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

As Grandpa Qin ate the porridge that Mu Tiantian fed him, and heard Mu Tiantian say "Be careful, it's hot," he smiled so much that the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes could trap flies.

He knew this wasn't a dream.

His granddaughter Ruohan really came back and even fed him porridge.

He was incredibly grateful that he had managed to hold on until his last breath.

After searching for so many years without success, I felt utterly hopeless during the surgery and really wanted to just go with death.

Fortunately, I didn't give up.

Seeing the old man smiling so happily, Mu Tiantian couldn't help but smile slightly as well.

She blew on the porridge several times before feeding it to the child because she was worried it was too hot.

Xia Guiying and Qin Dongyang were both very pleased to see Mu Tiantian's thoughtful and considerate manner.

Judging from how skillfully her daughter works, she must have taken care of many people.

After exchanging a glance, the couple tacitly left, leaving the grandfather and grandson alone.

After carefully examining Mu Tiantian several times, the driver followed her out and excitedly asked Qin Dongyang, "Chairman, is that really the young lady of our Qin family?"

He came to work for Qin Dongyang later and has been helping to find Xiao Ruohan all these years, but he has never had any contact with Xiao Ruohan, so he cannot make a judgment.

Qin Dongyang frowned slightly, feigning seriousness, and said, "How could I not recognize my own daughter?"

The driver chuckled and scratched his neck. "Chairman, don't be angry. I'm just so happy for you. I didn't expect that Miss Ruohan would come back to you on her own without us having to look for her."

As he spoke, he looked at Qin Dongyang's features, and then at Xia Guiying's features.

Based on the observations just now, I'll state my judgment: "Judging from the facial features, Miss Ruohan's face shape and eyes resemble the Madam's, while her nose and demeanor resemble the Chairman's. It's a perfect combination of the best features of both of you..."

Qin Dongyang and Xia Guiying looked at each other, trying to determine whether the driver was right or wrong.

Everyone agreed that the driver was right.

After looking at it for about ten seconds, Xia Guiying awkwardly turned her gaze away.

They lost their daughter because of an argument, so over the years they reached a consensus that they would not argue anymore and would work together to find her.

Now that my daughter has been found, my mission is complete.

There's no need to maintain that harmonious relationship anymore.

However, in order to provide her daughter with a good family atmosphere, she is willing to continue maintaining it.

When they made eye contact, Qin Dongyang understood Xia Guiying's thoughts from her eyes.

If his wife is willing to maintain the relationship, then he is even more willing.

When he was young, he was short-tempered and impulsive. He couldn't stand his wife's nagging and wanted a divorce, but after thinking about it carefully, he realized that his wife was doing it all for his own good.

If you don't really love him, you won't even bother to say it.

At the time, business was booming, and he often entertained clients until late at night before returning home, reeking of alcohol. It was perfectly normal for his wife to tell him to drink less.

At his age, he doesn't want a divorce anymore.

He is successful in his career, has a wife and daughter, and his family is happy and harmonious.

Fu Zhenlong and Xiao Hailan never spoke to each other again, and with his son dead, the Fu family fell into internal strife...

In short, he wanted to live a happier life than Fu Zhenlong.

He took the initiative to speak, "Ah Ying, now that our daughter has been found, let's pretend that the unpleasantness never happened and try to forget about it."

Xia Guiying thought about it seriously and nodded.

Over the years, she has also seen changes in Qin Dongyang. Whether it's because he's a Buddhist or because his mindset has changed with age, Qin Dongyang's temper has become much more restrained.

He used to get angry and liked to yell at people and boss her around, but now he's become much gentler. He not only doesn't boss her around anymore, but he also listens to her and does things her way.

It turns out that setbacks and frustrations can actually help people grow and change.

If his daughter hadn't gone missing, Qin Dongyang might never have realized his problem and wouldn't have tried to change.

Qin Dongyang smiled happily, so excited that he wanted to hug Xia Guiying, but he held back for fear that Xia Guiying would be angry.

Xia Guiying wanted to talk to Qin Dongyang about her daughter's relationship with Fu Zhengting, but seeing how happy Qin Dongyang was, she couldn't bear to speak.

Finding his daughter should have been a happy thing, but the fact that she liked Fu Zhengting was a real headache.

Qin Dongyang keenly sensed something was amiss and asked again, "Aying, is there anything else you want to say to me?"

Xia Guiying felt that Qin Dongyang would find out sooner or later, so she decided to face the issue sooner rather than later. She said, "Our daughter has someone she likes..."

Qin Dongyang was very happy. As long as his daughter liked him, he would accept him even if he was a poor boy. He only had one requirement: that he be a good person and treat his daughter well.

Anyway, he has plenty of money now, and he doesn't have the idea of ​​deliberately pursuing a marriage of equal social standing.

Just as he was feeling happy, he heard Xia Guiying say that his daughter liked Fu Zhengting. He couldn't believe it. "What did you say?"

"When I first heard the news, I couldn't believe it. But fate is so cruel. Fu Zhengting was injured and unconscious because he was trying to save his daughter..." Xia Guiying said truthfully.

Qin Dongyang was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.

Is it destined that I will never be able to break free from my relationship with Fu Zhenlong in this lifetime?

If you accept Fu Zhengting, then you and Fu Zhenlong will be related by marriage.

But how could he accept that?

That was the villain who almost ruined him.

Even the most magnanimous person would find this unacceptable.

Some hurts, once caused, can never be forgiven.

He had just been happy because his daughter was coming home, but now, upon hearing this cruel news, he was extremely upset.

He asked the driver for cigarettes and a lighter, and when they got to the designated smoking area, he lit a cigarette and started smoking.

Xia Guiying followed him and watched as Qin Dongyang finished a cigarette in just a few minutes. Just as he was about to light a second one, she took the cigarette from his hand and stopped him, saying, "Don't smoke anymore. The doctor told you to smoke less, have you forgotten?"

Qin Dongyang desperately suppressed the urge and returned the cigarettes and lighter to the driver.

Unable to forgive Fu Zhenlong's betrayal and missing his daughter terribly, he developed liver problems years ago and underwent several surgeries, forcing him to quit smoking and drinking.

"I was planning to tell you in a couple of days, but since you asked, I think it's better to tell you sooner so we can figure out a solution." Xia Guiying's usually gentle gaze turned sharp as she finished speaking. "I'd rather be a wicked person and curse Fu Zhengting to death than have my daughter with Fu Zhenlong's son."

Qin Dongyang pressed his temples in pain and muttered, "Why Fu Zhengting of all people?"

Although what Fu Zhenlong did had nothing to do with other people, the fact that he was part of the same family was still unsettling.

"It would be better if Fu Zhengting died and never woke up again. If he wakes up and can't be with my daughter, that's worse than death. It would be better for him to die quickly," Xia Guiying cursed angrily.

Although Qin Dongyang felt that cursing people was not a good way to do things, he also secretly hoped that Fu Zhengting would die.

The death of Fu Zhenlong's only son, whom he had painstakingly raised, was the most satisfying form of revenge for him.
