Second Master Su sighed. She looked out of the window and said, "Your father must be happy that everyone can reunite. However, the biggest knot in your father's heart should be your grandfather, my eldest brother."
"Back then, your grandfather didn't accept your father marrying your mother. He forced your father to marry another woman from a wealthy family. In the end, your father ran away with your mother …"
"Your grandfather was indeed at fault for this matter. Actually, at that time, we thought that it was fine for your father to marry your mother. After all, our Su family has a big family business. We don't need to rely on in-laws."
"However, your grandfather was stubborn at that time because the daughter-in-law that your grandfather chose was the daughter of your grandfather's brother. He had always liked her, so he wanted your father to marry her."
"However, how can you force things when it comes to relationships?"
"Your grandfather was too stubborn. He wouldn't listen to anyone. Your father and your grandmother tried to persuade him many times, but it was to no avail. Moreover, your grandfather wanted to arrange an engagement for your father. On the day of the engagement, your father ran away with your mother."
"After a few years, your grandfather regretted it and wanted your father to come back. However, your father was very smart. He didn't want to be found. Even if we searched the entire Long Island, we couldn't find him."
"Fortunately, we finally met your father today."
"It's the conflict between your father and grandfather. I don't think it'll be so easy to resolve."
"Chenchen, Second Grandfather called you here mainly to tell you that now that we know about you and your parents, very soon, your grandfather and grandmother will also know."
Su Chen nodded. "Yes, I know."
"Chenchen, we can't decide whether your father is willing to forgive your grandfather. This depends on your father. However, your grandfather and grandmother only have one son, and that's your grandfather and grandmother. Now, your grandfather and grandmother are already 70 years old.
Half of their bodies are buried in the ground.
All these years, although your grandfather hasn't said anything, we can all see that he regrets forcing your father to marry the woman he liked. "
Su Chen understood what Second Master Su meant. She hoped that he could mediate the relationship between his father and grandfather.
Moreover, he was indeed the most suitable candidate. Second Master Su and the others had just reunited with their father after a long separation. They had not been together for so many years, so it was not appropriate for them to say a lot of words. Only Su Chen, the son, was suitable to be the middleman.
"I see," Su Chen said.

When Su Chen returned home, Father Su was already asleep.
Mother Su was sitting in the living room chatting with Yan Bingxue. When they saw Su Chen, they both looked at him.
Mother Su asked, "Chenchen, have you sent them back to the hotel? Are your Third Master and your uncle alright? "
Su Chen shook his head. "They're fine, Mom. You don't have to worry. They went straight to bed after they went back."
Mother Su smiled and pointed to the room. "Your father too. He fell asleep as soon as he came back. I was afraid to disturb his rest in the room, so I sat outside for a while."
Su Chen thought of what Second Grandpa said. He pointed to the bedroom door and said, "Then I'll go in and see Dad."
"Go ahead."
Su Chen entered the room. Father Su was already asleep.
Mother Su took good care of him. Although Father Su fell asleep as soon as he came back, Mother Su still wiped his face and body and changed him into clean and comfortable pajamas.
When Su Chen saw this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly. He looked at his father on the bed and said, "Dad, you've always made the right choice. You and Mom have been in a good relationship for so many years. I've never even seen you quarrel."
"You really love each other. I think if Grandpa sees our family living happily together now, he will definitely regret not supporting you and Mom's relationship and marriage."
Father Su drank too much and was now in a deep sleep. He couldn't hear Su Chen's words at all. Even if he was asleep, there was still a faint smile on his face. It seemed that he was really happy today.
When Su Chen got up, he helped Father Su tidy up the quilt. Then he turned around and walked out of the room.
"Mom, it's getting late. You should wash up and rest. You've been busy all day and made a big table of food at noon. Go to bed early tonight."
Mother Su nodded. She also drank some wine tonight. Her cheeks looked rosy and she seemed to be in a good mood.
After watching their mother go back to her room, Su Chen and Yan Bingxue went back to the bedroom on the second floor.
After taking a shower and lying on the bed, Su Chen told Yan Bingxue about the matter that Second Grandpa called him to the hotel to talk about.
After Yan Bingxue heard this, she said, "Hubby, so you want to reconcile the relationship between Dad and Grandpa?"
Su Chen shook his head. "No, I'm an outsider. I only stand on Dad's side. Although I know that Grandpa regrets it, if Dad doesn't forgive Grandpa, I won't reconcile the relationship between them."
Yan Bingxue nodded. "Yes, because we're outsiders, we don't know what exactly happened back then. We also don't know if what happened back then hurt Dad and Mom. So we don't have to get involved in the matter of forgiveness."
"We stand on Dad and Mom's side. No matter what decision they make, we'll support them."

The next morning, Father Su woke up in the middle of the morning. The headache from the hangover made him feel a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, Mother Su had already prepared a hangover soup for him. After drinking a bowl of hot soup, he felt like he finally came back to his senses.
Father Su smiled and said, "Honey, I'm really old now. I drank a little and got drunk for an entire night. I feel uncomfortable all over."
Mother Su smiled and said, "You know you're old, but you still drank so much. You silly old man."
"I'm just happy to see Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and Little Brother."
When Mother Su heard this, her hands paused. She looked at Old Su and said, "Old Su, there's something I wanted to ask you yesterday, but the elders were all there, so I didn't say it. This time, so many elders came from the Su family in the capital, but your dad …"
"Old Su, do you think your dad is still angry?"
Father Su thought of his own father and the smile on his face froze. He said in a deep voice, "If he's angry, then let him be."
"I didn't do anything wrong."
"Back then, if I didn't decisively elope with you, the two of us wouldn't have a future like this."
Father Su didn't regret his choice at all.
-
At noon, Su Chen suddenly came home for lunch. Father Su, Mother Su, and him sat together.
"Son, why did you come home for lunch today? Aren't you going to eat with your daughter-in-law? "Father Su asked.
Su Chen said, "Dad, I came back for lunch because I have something to talk to you guys about."
