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

Seeing that Fu Zhengting wasn't wearing a hospital gown but rather casual clothes, Fu Zhenlong asked curiously, "Son, have you been discharged from the hospital? Where did you go?"

I just really want to call out to my son.

He feared that if he severed the father-son relationship, he would have no one to call out to him anymore.

He thought about it all night and has decided to sever his father-son relationship with Fu Zhengting.

Anyway, the company is now managed by the son of my first love, and he signed a big order in just half a month, which impressed all the senior executives of the company.

The higher-ups told him that his son was very diligent and would inspect restaurants and hotels whenever he had free time, showing great concern for food safety and hygiene.

His first love hadn't lied to him; this son did indeed have the ability to manage things.

Then he can be completely at ease.

Fu Zhengting was silent for a moment, but still told the truth, "Mu Tiantian and I went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our marriage certificate."

Fu Zhenlong was shocked. "Ah Ting, you... you've regained your memories?"

He was terrified that his son would remember how he had pressured him to marry him.

Fu Zhengting shook his head, "No, but subconsciously I have feelings for Mu Tiantian and want to marry her."

Fu Zhenlong was shocked by his son's answer.

It's clear how much the son likes Mu Tiantian.

He used to obstruct his son in every way, completely disregarding his son's feelings.

"Is it done?" Fu Zhenlong glanced behind Fu Zhengting but didn't see Mu Tiantian.

"It's a pity that Mu Tiantian's father came to stop us just one last step before we could register," Fu Zhengting said frankly.

Fu Zhenlong remained silent.

Every time news about Qin Dongyang came up, he was so ashamed that he couldn't speak.

When I was on the verge of death during the surgery, many scenes flashed through my mind like a movie replay, including many images of Qin Dongyang.

There are really not many people as righteous and generous as Qin Dongyang.

Qin Dongyang's success was also the result of learning from his repeated failures.

I still remember when Qin Dongyang opened his first restaurant, he lost everything because he had no experience.

At that time, Qin Dongyang was already in debt, but he didn't know that and even asked him for money.

When Qin Dongyang learned that he urgently needed money to treat his father's illness, he even took out a bank loan to lend it to him.

Even brothers might not go to this extent.

He really thought a lot during his time in the hospital.

I realized that there are many things in this world that are more important than money.

Just like Qin Dongyang said before, you can't take all that money with you when you die; it's just worthless paper. You might as well help more people before it becomes worthless.

Human greed is insatiable; once one loses oneself in money, it is very difficult to turn back.

He's come to his senses now, and it's not too late.

He suddenly looked at Fu Zhengting very seriously, "Ah Ting, where is Mu Tiantian's father? I need to see him!"

He took a deep breath and said, "The one who tied the knot must untie it. The problem lies with me, so I will solve it. I will go and explain things to Mu Tiantian's father."

Fu Zhengting was very pleased. From his father's words, he knew that his father had truly come to his senses.

As long as you sincerely repent, there is room for redemption.

After Fu Zhenlong closed the ward, he walked ahead to lead the way.

Anan caught up and walked alongside Fu Zhengting.

Fu Zhenlong felt a little tired after taking only a few steps.

The car accident severely damaged his health. Although he can now get out of bed and walk around, he is nowhere near as healthy as before.

I feel powerless to do anything.

Fu Zhengting turned his head and glanced at Fu Zhenlong, seeing through his exhaustion.

He turned back and helped Fu Zhenlong.

Fu Zhenlong's eyes suddenly felt a little sore.

My son is always so thoughtful and warm-hearted.

I just wonder if my son will still treat me the same way once he remembers his past memories?

There's no point in thinking about this now; I've already decided to sever ties with my son.

Helping Fu Zhenlong out of the elevator, she stopped a few steps behind Mu Tiantian and Xia Guiying.

Fu Zhengting pressed down on Fu Zhenlong's shoulders, staring intently into his eyes. "I'll only ask you one question: Did you initially intend to harm Mu Tiantian's father with the sole purpose of killing him?"

Fu Zhenlong immediately shook his head in denial, "I didn't!"

Although he knew his explanation was unconvincing, he still had to explain himself. "Ah Ting, believe it or not, I was initially blinded by jealousy and became psychologically unbalanced, which led me to report him. But at the time, I thought it would only affect Qin Dongyang's business a little; I never intended to ruin him. Even when I was psychologically unbalanced, I remembered that Qin Dongyang had helped me before. It's just... I never expected the public opinion to escalate so quickly!"

It's like poison; once it takes hold, it's unstoppable.

Public opinion can be a powerful force; many people blindly follow the crowd and condemn without even understanding the situation.

He then realized how terrifying public opinion could be.

Fu Zhengting scrutinized Fu Zhenlong with sharp and keen eyes.

He believed his father was telling the truth.

The moment jealousy arose, it was as if he had a seizure; my father lost control uncontrollably.

No one is perfect, and he believed that it wasn't just his father who might feel jealous.

He must have felt jealousy before.

If judged by the legal standards of crime, the father's actions do not warrant the death penalty.

He asked the key question, "Do you know which media outlet first reported on your relationship with Qin Dongyang? Or which media outlet reported on it most frequently?"

Perhaps someone in the middle fanned the flames, which is why this matter escalated.

Fu Zhenlong was reminded that he had been neglecting this most important issue all along.

But so much time had passed that he couldn't remember it for a moment.

He continued to try carefully to recall.

He was so excited when he spoke that his voice was a bit loud. Xia Guiying, who was in front of him, heard him, turned around, and saw that it was indeed Fu Zhenlong.

Xia Guiying laughed mockingly.

She didn't want to talk to Fu Zhenlong, afraid of getting tainted by his bad luck, but Fu Zhenlong's words of defense just now were really disgusting.

She turned and strode over.

Mu Tiantian followed behind.

Xia Guiying confronted Fu Zhenlong and immediately launched into a tirade, "Fu Zhenlong, don't be disgusting! You dare to do it but not admit it, what kind of man are you? Back then, it was because you were classmates with someone from the Health Bureau that you were able to frame Dongyang. You bribed people in the Health Bureau and even the media to report on it extensively. The wider the coverage, the greater the impact on Dongyang's restaurants, and the more beneficial it was for you. Now that you've benefited, you're too ashamed to admit it, you despicable scoundrel..."

Fu Zhenlong blushed with shame, but he still tried to explain himself, "I did bribe some media outlets, but I only bribed two. At the time, I was just thinking that as long as the reports made Qin Dongyang's restaurant business less successful, that would be enough. I really..."

Xia Guiying retorted sharply, "Fu Zhenlong, your excuses are utterly disgusting. Bad people never admit to the bad things they've done. If I believed you, I would be a huge joke."

At this moment, an elderly doctor wearing glasses walked over from the front. After listening to the conversation between the two, he stopped, and his eyes, after a look of shock, revealed a sinister glint.
