Although things had changed with the passage of time, he had been suffering from conscience for more than 20 years.
He hated Wang Qiwu for deceiving him. He hated the people who planned all this behind the scenes. They had said that they would only deal with Dragon Teeth, but in the end, they deceived him and kidnapped his father, causing him to lose his biggest backer.
Every man dreamed of ruling the world when he was awake and lying on the knees of a beautiful woman when he was drunk. Long Hao was no exception.
Although his current life was not bad, he lived in a mansion, drove a luxury car, and had a pair of sensible children, how could he be compared with a respected general who held military power?
That was originally a beautiful life that was within his reach, yet all of this had been destroyed at Wang Qiwu's hands. He wished for nothing more than to chop this bastard into pieces and tear him into a thousand pieces.
But since then, Wang Qiwu seemed to have disappeared from the world, so he couldn't find Wang Qiwu even if he wanted to take revenge.
Now he felt like a child who had done something wrong but was bullied by others. He wanted to talk to his parents but was afraid that his parents would blame him. He felt wronged and scared.
"Ring!"
The doorbell suddenly rang. Long Hao's entire body trembled, as if he had been struck by a paralysis spell. He stood there in a daze.
Even though he had been mentally prepared and even thought of an excuse to shirk responsibility, he was so flustered that he didn't dare to open the door for a while.
Click!
The doorbell rang a few times and then stopped. Just when Long Hao came to his senses and was about to face everything, he heard the sound of a key opening the door.
"Hey, Dad, you are at home. Why didn't you open the door after I rang the doorbell for a long time?"
The door was opened, and a handsome young man pushed the door open and came in. He looked at Long Hao, who was standing there with a sense of loss and relief, and asked in confusion.
"Uh, I just fell asleep in the room. I was about to open the door when you came in."
Long Hao said casually, absent-mindedly, and then said with some surprise, "Hey, Long Qian, why are you back now? Don't you have class today? "
"Oh, the college entrance examination is coming. The teacher has taught me everything, so I have to review by myself. Didn't you often say that we should strike a balance between work and rest? So I promised to play football with my classmates and come back to change clothes."
Long Qian said carefully as he changed his slippers, peeking at Long Hao's face. He was afraid that he would be unhappy and teach him a lesson.
"Oh, you can't always study. It's good to exercise occasionally. Hurry up and change clothes. Don't let your classmates wait."
To Long Qian's surprise, his father, who always liked to lecture him with a straight face, acted out of character today. Not only did he not object, but he even urged him to quickly change his clothes. This made Long Qian wonder if the man in front of him was really the father he feared the most.
However, his father did not object to it and strongly supported it. How could he have the time to think so much? He happily ran to the room on the second floor to change his clothes, completely unaware of his father's absent-minded state.
It wasn't that Long Hao didn't want his son to meet his grandfather. It was just that as a father, he hoped to leave a positive and great image for his son. He didn't want him to be an ignorant father who had made a huge mistake.
Therefore, at the critical moment when his father might appear at any time, he hoped that Long Qian was not by his side to see the embarrassing scene of him kneeling to his father and apologizing.
Ding!
But in this world, things did not go according to one's wishes. Just when he secretly hoped that his son would act faster and leave before his father returned, the doorbell rang again.
Long Hao smiled bitterly. Forget it. If he lost face, then so be it. He couldn't really leave his father outside the door. The debt he owed had to be repaid.
Taking a deep breath, he walked to the door and gently opened it. Looking at the woman who was middle-aged but still attractive, standing outside the door, he could not help but ask in surprise, "Ya Jie, why are you here?"
"Who else can it be if not me? Why, are you waiting for your lover to come and have a rendezvous? "
The woman flirtatiously rolled her eyes and snappily teased him. She entered the door and casually put the vegetables in her hands on the ground. She began to change into her slippers. Then she asked curiously, "Didn't you go to the company this morning? Why are you back now? "
Long Hao complained in his heart. He did not expect that not only his son came back early, but also his wife came back early. If his father came at this time, his face would be lost to the Pacific Ocean.
Thinking quickly, he thought about how to explain, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was better to tell the truth. They had been husband and wife for so many years, and they could not look down on him because of the mistakes he had made when he was young.
"Who is upstairs? Long Hao, did I guess it right? You really brought a woman home? "
While Long Hao was hesitating, Zhao Ya Jie suddenly heard a slight movement from the second floor. Her expression suddenly changed, and she stared at Long Hao with tears in her eyes.
Long Hao did not know whether to laugh or cry, "Am I that kind of person?"
"You can know a person's face but not his heart. How do I know what kind of person you are? Tell me, who is upstairs? Why are you not at the company at this time, but at home? "
Zhao Ya Jie felt that the sky was about to collapse, and tears welled up in her eyes.
That year, she disregarded the strong opposition of her family and stubbornly married Long Hao, who had nothing. In the first few years, she was mocked and ridiculed by her seven aunts and eight aunts at home, and even her parents did not give her a good face. It was not until Long Hao's company improved that her life became a little better, and her family reluctantly accepted him as a useless son-in-law.
But men become bad when they become rich. Only a few days of good life had passed, and Long Hao actually began to flirt outside and even dared to bring a woman home. How could she accept this?
"Ya Jie, what nonsense are you thinking about? It's Qian 'er upstairs. He has an appointment with his classmate to play football, and he came back to change clothes. "
Long Hao did not know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly said. If he did not tell the truth, he was afraid that his wife with a fragile heart would go crazy.
"It's Qian 'er? Really? "
Zhao Ya Jie stared at him suspiciously and asked, and the tears in her eyes disappeared with a whoosh.
Women were indeed natural actors.
Long Hao secretly criticized, and unhappily rolled his eyes, "Whether it is Qian 'er or not, he will know when he comes down. Am I that stupid? Telling such a lie. "
Zhao Ya Jie immediately believed him. After all, such a lie was easy to be exposed, and Long Hao was not so stupid.
But the woman's modesty still made her unwilling to admit her mistake, and coldly snorted, "You still haven't said, why didn't you go to work today?"
"I …"
Although Long Hao had already decided to tell the truth, after all, it was the stupidest thing he had ever done in his life, and it would also expose the darkest side of his heart. Even though they had been husband and wife for many years, it still made it difficult for him to speak, and he did not know how to open his mouth.
"Humph! Hemming and hawing, you definitely did not do anything good. "
Zhao Ya Jie deliberately found an excuse in order not to admit her mistake, and did not intend to break the casserole and get to the bottom of it.
After all, the company had already entered the standard, and there was a professional manager to manage it. As the chairman, it was nothing for Long Hao to skip work and be lazy. She ridiculed him and did not ask further.
"Oh yes, why did you come back so early today? Why did you buy so many vegetables? "
Zhao Ya Jie did not ask, but Long Hao began to ask. Although they now had no worries about food and clothing, and had their own company, Zhao Ya Jie was an enterprising person. She did not want to idle at home as a rich wife, and worked as an accountant in a company.
"I asked for leave. As for why I bought so many vegetables? Did you forget what day it is today? "
Zhao Ya Jie carried the vegetables into the kitchen and answered loudly.
"What day?"
Long Hao muttered with a blank face, and then suddenly thought of it, and said involuntarily, "Our wedding anniversary."
"You have a conscience, and still remember our wedding day."
Zhao Ya Jie walked out of the kitchen while wearing an apron, and said gloomily, "I wanted to give you a romantic candlelight dinner, but I didn't expect you to be lazy and hide at home. There is no surprise at all."
"Hehe."
Long Hao laughed dryly, but he wanted to cry but had no tears. It was really retribution. His father came back, and it happened to be his wedding anniversary. His wife came back in advance, but just happened to see him in the most embarrassing scene. This was not a surprise, but a shock.
"Wedding anniversary? It's really better to come early than to come at the right time. I didn't make it to your wedding, but I made it to your wedding anniversary. It seems that it is God's will. "
A loud and clear voice suddenly rang out, causing Long Hao's entire body to stiffen. Like a puppet, he slowly turned his head around and looked at the tall, dark, and thin old man who was standing in front of the door that had yet to close. His eyes immediately turned red.
"Old man, who are you?"
Zhao Ya Jie frowned, looked at the uninvited guest, and asked in a gentle tone.
"Dad …"
Long Hao knelt down with a thump like a collapsing mountain and a collapsing jade pillar, letting out a heart-wrenching cry.
Zhao Ya Jie suddenly covered her mouth, and her eyes widened in disbelief. She naturally knew who Long Hao's father was, but she never thought that the dark and thin old man in front of her was her father-in-law, the God of Army of Shenzhou Country, who was famous in the military of all countries.
"Ah …"
Long Qian, who had just changed into his jersey and was about to go downstairs, saw this scene from the stairwell. His eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and he curiously looked at the Dragon King. His dad called him dad, so wasn't he his grandfather?
But why had he never heard from his parents that his grandfather was still alive? When he was young, he was quite envious when he saw other children with grandparents. He had once asked his father about his grandparents, but his father's face was full of sadness and he avoided the topic. The sensible him only thought that he had touched on his father's sadness and that his grandfather must have passed away long ago. Since then, he had never asked about it again.
But now, his grandfather, who had clearly passed away, suddenly appeared in front of him, which made him confused, and he didn't know what was going on.
The Dragon King's eyes were moist. No matter how disappointing Long Hao was, no matter how many mistakes he had made, he was still his only flesh and blood. No matter how angry and angry he was before, at this moment, when Long Hao called him father with sincerity, the softest part of his heart was poked, and his heart could no longer harden.
But when he thought that because of his jealousy and stupidity, twenty-five of the best soldiers of Shenzhou Country were killed, and Dragon Teeth was exiled overseas with the charge of treason. He had no way to serve his country, and he couldn't return home, his heart was full of struggle.
This kind of mistake could not be forgiven by an apology. The twenty-five members of Dragon Soul who were sacrificed were also raised by their parents, and they also had parents and families. This was related to twenty-five broken families.
No, it was twenty-six, and Dragon Teeth and his wife were also separated because of this evil beast. They could not be reunited for more than twenty years, and even now they were carrying the charge of treason and went far away.
He was the Dragon King, the Dragon King who had always been protective, but he was also a reasonable Dragon King who could distinguish between kindness and hatred. He could not forgive Long Hao just because he was protective.
A country had its laws, and a family had its rules. Some things were wrong, and repentance could not necessarily be forgiven. He had to give Dragon Teeth and the twenty-five souls who died in vain an explanation.
