Chapter 1086 The wedding you were invited to attend
"In terms of daily expenses, she should be intemperate, but she mostly buys useless small things instead of big items. She doesn't need to worry about these." Chu Zihang said to Chu Tianjiao, "But
That person never restricted her financially, he was always very generous with money, and he didn't restrict her private life very much."
"It sounds... pretty good." Chu Tianjiao was silent for a while, and finally just choked out this sentence.
Chu Zihang glanced at Chu Tianjiao's expression. Whether he mentioned the encounter seven years ago or the encounter on the "Island of Death" even longer ago, the impression Chu Tianjiao left on everyone was that he was an extremely experienced and murderous person.
A decisive but humane and backbone special agent... But at this moment, Chu Zihang could clearly see on Chu Tianjiao's face that this man had once again become what he was before, the submissive man who loved the woman he loved.
A man who has nothing but bragging in front of him.
Chu Zihang turned his head and his eyes flickered a few times. He probably knew in his heart what Chu Tianjiao wanted to ask, but maybe it was out of a man's pride, maybe it was out of guilt that he hadn't seen for many years, maybe he wanted to remain silent in front of his son.
Despite his father's strictness, he never asked the question he was most concerned about.
Chu Zihang didn't think about whether to take the initiative to mention what Chu Tianjiao cared about... He could see that Chu Tianjiao cared about this matter, and it would have been quite uncomfortable to keep it in his heart without telling it, but if it was Chu Zihang
If you ask out loud, what is the difference between this and tearing Chu Tianjiao's self-esteem to pieces? And as Chu Tianjiao's son, if he takes the initiative to ask, it will only make Chu Tianjiao more embarrassed.
"Son, um, um..." Chu Tianjiao spoke again, with a hesitant tone, "Has your mother done anything like that in the past few years... Has she occasionally... Oh, it's not occasionally, just
...Is there ever a time when I accidentally mentioned it..."
"In the first half year, I said it almost every day, and then the frequency gradually became less and less. In the past few years, I haven't mentioned it once." Chu Zihang thought for a while and chose to tell the truth.
"No, no." Chu Tianjiao quickly waved his hand to deny, "I'm not referring to this, I'm talking about whether your mother has suffered from insomnia in recent years, and whether she keeps waking up in the middle of the night and having nightmares."
Chu Tianjiao's voice became softer and softer, and his expression became a little gloomy. Obviously what he was saying at this moment was not his true inner thoughts... Regarding giving Su Xiaoyan hot milk and Su Xiaoyan's insomnia, Chu Zihang had already discussed with Chu Tianjiao
Tianjiao had already said, how could he ask whether Su Xiaoyan had suffered from insomnia and nightmares over the years.
The things a person cares about most will come out of his eyes even if he doesn't say them... Chu Zihang saw the look in Chu Tianjiao's eyes. Ever since he could remember, he had never seen this man look so lonely and lost.
His eyes were like those of a homeless and mourning dog.
"Dad, Lu Mingfei mentioned something just now. I don't know if you still remember it." Chu Zihang said suddenly.
"What?" Chu Tianjiao's tone was still a little lackluster, as if he hadn't recovered from the shock.
"The existence of those who accidentally entered the Nibelungen in this city was secretly erased by Odin." Chu Zihang looked at Chu Tianjiao and said, "The people who have disappeared have all been wiped out by others in these years.
Forgetting, even their acquaintances or close family members, is as if they never existed, and no one will remember them."
Chu Tianjiao was stunned.
"The same goes for you, Dad." Chu Zihang looked at Chu Tianjiao and said, "I mean, in the seven years since you became 'Odin', the only people in this world who still remember you are me and Lu Mingfei, mom.
She has long forgotten your existence, not because she has no feelings for you anymore, or really doesn’t remember you as a person, but because of Odin’s ability to rewrite reality, you have been eliminated from her memory and replaced by others.
Something replaces it.”
Chu Tianjiao's eyes widened. At this moment, he finally fully understood what Chu Zihang meant to him... Chu Zihang knew what he wanted to ask from the beginning, so Chu Zihang answered his question seriously,
Although he will feel lost or frustrated because of this
, but Chu Zihang then told him that the woman he loved forgot him for a reason, not because she didn't love him or because she hated him and wanted to erase him from her life, but because
Odin, Odin is the source of all evil.
"Thank you." After Chu Tianjiao was silent for a long time, he suddenly took a deep breath. His originally gloomy and defeated eyes now showed a look of relief, "Actually, there is no point in me worrying about these things now. I hope your mother will let me go.
I sincerely hope to let go of this unhappy past, but I can’t let it go in my heart. But this is just my selfishness. I know that you and your mother are living a happy life. This is what it means to you in reality.
Say, the most important thing to me."
After Chu Tianjiao finished speaking, Chu Zihang fell into a brief silence. Although this man said that he had selfish motives, the core of his words was actually very selfless, and he had always done this...cannot be with
It is certainly a misfortune for his beloved to be together, but it is also his happiness to see Chu Zihang and Su Xiaoyan living happily and prosperously.
There are different kinds of happiness in this world. Some are family harmony, some are staying together for a lifetime, some are peace and joy, and some are silently watching over the life of the one you love... It is impossible for people to achieve everything they want in a short life.
There are always sacrifices and trade-offs.
For Chu Tianjiao, the peace and joy of Su Xiaoyan, Chu Zihang, mother and son are more important than his own satisfaction and joy, and are more worth watching.
"Dad, can I ask you a favor?" Chu Zihang suddenly whispered.
"What's the matter?" Chu Tianjiao asked subconsciously.
"On the day of Xia Mi and I's wedding, can you sit...as the chairman of the wedding?" Chu Zihang raised his head, looked into Chu Tianjiao's eyes, and asked the request he had been hiding in his heart.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chu Tianjiao was stunned, his face was completely stunned, so that his eyes were stunned. He looked at Chu Zihang with firm and full eyes.
The light of hope and various complex emotions spread rapidly in Chu Tianjiao's heart.
Sad, gratified, surprised, moved...
Chu Tianjiao never expected that the request made by Chu Zihang and him would actually be something like this...asking his father to appear as the chairman of the wedding between himself and his beloved girl. For others, this could not even be called a request.
, but it is human nature and ethics, but the situation of their father and son is too special. Chu Zihang's sincere eyes and words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Chu Tianjiao's heart hard.
It made his eyes turn red.
"Of course...of course I am willing to agree..." Chu Tianjiao paused. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and allowed himself to think as rationally as possible, "But your father over there won't agree to such a request, right?
He is a businessman and usually looks quite decent, but just because he is a decent person, he will not agree to it.
For such a request, now that your mother is his wife and you are also his son in name, he and your mother should sit in the chair at your wedding. If he were replaced by me, he would definitely feel embarrassed.
Even if you choose a time when he is busy with business, it is even more impossible for decent people like them to miss the wedding of their adopted son."
"Well, he is very good to his mother. I didn't want to embarrass him so much." Chu Zihang shook his head and said to Chu Tianjiao, "But there is still a place for him."
"Is there still a place?" Chu Tianjiao was a little confused, "What other place is there?"
"According to traditional customs, there are four chairmen at the wedding, and the parents of both men and women are sitting there." Chu Zihang said slowly, "But you know the situation in Xia Mi's family. She has no parents attending.
Already."
"So you want to..." Chu Tianjiao's eyes widened. At this moment, he finally understood what Chu Zihang meant by inviting him.
Lu Tianming was determined to accompany Su Xiaoyan to his adopted son's wedding. It was almost impossible for him to give in, but Chu Zihang wanted Chu Tianjiao to attend his wedding. As a guest of the chairman, Xia Mi's side happened to be vacant.
Two places... This is probably the best solution that Chu Zihang can think of. Even if he does this, Lu Tianming may still have a grudge. Although a decent person like him will not mention it on the table, but
Chu Zihang couldn't care about everyone's mood.
He is Chu Tianjiao's son, with half of Chu Tianjiao's blood flowing in his body. He doesn't want to make his mother and adoptive father unhappy on a day worth celebrating, let alone his biological father's absence.
"I'm sorry, you might mind, but this is the result of my discussion with Xia Mi, and it's the best way I can think of." Chu Zihang said softly to Chu Tianjiao, "This idea started a long time ago
, I started thinking about it almost after my relationship with Xia Mi stabilized, because I don’t believe you are dead, I have been looking for you these years, even if the probability is very slim, I have thought about this situation."
"Lu Mingfei once told me that loving someone should not just be words written on paper, nor should it just be thoughts. If given the chance, love should be expressed with words and actions.
To express." Chu Zihang spoke in an unprecedented and sensational way, with a slightly jerky tone, "So I think, if I can find you, I hope you won't miss the important things in my future life again... I'm sorry, I should change my words.
"
"I actually hope that you can be by my side during the most important stage of my life." Chu Zihang looked at Chu Tianjiao's face and said softly.
Chu Tianjiao also looked at Chu Zihang, his expression was still in a daze. In his sight, the face of Chu Zihang in front of him gradually overlapped with the face of the silent boy who often sat in the back seat of his car in his memory.
together.
Chu Tianjiao fought with the Dragon King, performed many almost impossible tasks, visited many places and met many people... To be honest, his first half of life was already richer and more exciting than the lives of most people in the world.
, but this was his first experience as a father.
This is also the first time he has personally felt that as a father, seeing his son truly grow up, become sensible, and understand all your hardships and hardships, this kind of understanding, this kind of consideration, this kind of thinking for you is really amazing.
...My nose is sore.
"Why are you saying sorry? You don't need to say anything sorry to me!" Chu Tianjiao suddenly hugged Chu Zihang into his arms, his voice choked with sobs, "It's me who should say I'm sorry to you, and I'm still with you
It’s only right to say sorry!”
"I'm so sorry for all these years. I've been such an incompetent father. I've been such an uneasy father. I've made you look for me for so long and made you distressed for so long!" Two lines of tears came from Chu Tianjiao.
His eyes welled up, and he said hoarsely in Chu Zihang's ear, "Thank you... thank you for forgiving me for being such an irresponsible father, thank you for taking good care of your mother, thank you for growing up to be so sensible,
Such a good man...Thank you, son..."
"I didn't blame you, dad. I didn't understand you before, but now I understand you. You are a great person, at least I think so." Chu Zihang's hand gently comforted Chu Tianjiao's strong but scarred body.
On his back, he was not a person who was good at sensationalism, but touching those rough, long-lasting scars, Chu Zihang's eyes seemed a little sore.
"So... will you agree to my request?" Chu Zihang asked softly on Chu Tianjiao's shoulder, "This is also Xia Mi's request."
"I agreed, why wouldn't I agree? What reason do I have for not agreeing?" Chu Tianjiao's voice trembled slightly, "That's enough, that makes me very satisfied. I can be invited by my son and daughter-in-law to their wedding.
What else can I be dissatisfied with? It doesn’t matter who I am as a parent, it doesn’t matter in what capacity, and it will be the same in the future. I won’t miss every important moment in your life, if you need me.”
From a distance, seeing Chu Tianjiao hugging Chu Zihang and crying bitterly, Lu Mingfei and others also felt a little sad. This tough guy-like man once shouldered everything on his own. He silently watched and carried the burden for Chu Zihang, mother and son.
Moving forward so far... Today I can finally lift my burden, because his son has grown up. The boy who once needed his protection to escape from the hands of "god" now has more power than him, and a
A heart that is mature and strong enough.
This heart is enough to warm this man's lonely and monotonous life.
"Should we settle the score?" Nuonuo came to Lu Mingfei and Fingel, put his hands on their shoulders respectively, and whispered in their ears, "About you two.
Conspired to knock me out and kidnap me..."
"It was Lu Mingfei's instigation!" Fingel's usual blame-shifting tactic.
"I didn't give such a dirty order as 'kidnapping'. The thieves shouldn't spit on anyone!" Lu Mingfei didn't stick to the pot at all.
"It's just written off." Nuonuo suddenly changed the subject.
"Senior sister, you have to be aware of everything. You..." Lu Mingfei was stunned when he realized the reaction, and turned to look at Nono, "Write it off?"
