Chapter 27 - An Ordinary Father

He walked into the ward with his head lowered.

Like a criminal, he walked with great difficulty, waiting for the final judgment.

The three people in the room turned around when they heard the sound. When they saw Jiang Bei walk in, Xu Xuefeng’s brows slowly furrowed, and his eyes stared at him.

This scumbag! How much pain did his daughter suffer in the past few years!

“Dad, Mom…” Jiang Bei slowly raised his head with a conflicted expression on his face.

He was still wearing the tattered clothes from yesterday, and his current appearance made him look very pathetic.

“Why did you come in? We don’t want to see you!” Xu Xiaoqiang walked forward and shouted in a low voice, “I’ll return the money to you. Now, please leave this place!”

There was anger on his face, but his voice was very low because Wanwan was still sleeping next to him. Wanwan was a bundle of joy in the family, but her father was the most unpopular person in the family.

“I came to see how dad is doing…” Jiang Bei said hesitantly.

“I’m fine. You’ve seen everything. You can leave now. Don’t call me dad anymore. I don’t have a son-in-law like you,” Xu Xuefeng said faintly.

This answer was exactly what Jiang Bei had expected. Xu Xuefeng was the most ordinary middle-aged man in a small city. He was quiet and honest.

“Dad…” Jiang Bei took a few more steps forward and stood by the bed. It was difficult for him to even make a sound.

He realized that it was not as easy as he thought to face him, even if Xu Xuefeng did not insist that they get a divorce

“Is there anything else? If there’s nothing else, please leave,” Xu Xuefeng said in a deep voice with his brows furrowed into a knot.

“Plop!”

At this moment, Jiang Bei bent his knees and knelt down!

This scene stunned everyone. Even Xu Xuefeng’s eyes were filled with shock.

“Dad! I am sorry.” Jiang Bei’s voice was a little heavy. He looked at Xu Xuefeng with eyes filled with regret.

Although Xu Xuefeng was an ordinary man, he could see things clearly.

At this moment, he saw the sincerity in Jiang Bei’s eyes.

“I’ve let you down, I’ve let mom down, I’ve let all of you down… I am sorry.” Jiang Bei’s eyes were red. He had said this before in his old life.

He had said it more than once!

But what he received was not Xu Xuefeng’s forgiveness, but his scolding and Xu Xiaoqiang’s beating.

They were already gone. Who was he apologizing to then?

Was there any point in apologizing?

But in this life, it was not too late for Jiang Bei.

They were still alive and his home was still there. As long as he was willing to work harder, everything would get better. He firmly believed in all of this.

“Get up.” Xu Xuefeng’s voice gradually became softer.

As a man, he saw that Jiang Bei’s regret was sincere. Men might kneel to heaven and earth, and to their parents. But he was kneeling to him out of regret.

But he didn’t have the right to forgive him on behalf of his daughter.

Jiang Bei’s actions made Li Yun speechless. She sighed lightly and sat on the extra bed. She no longer looked at him, and only gently touched her granddaughter’s small hand. Her eyes were filled with heartache.

Even Xu Xiaoqiang could no longer speak ill of Jiang Bei, but the anger in his eyes did not subside.

Jiang Bei was repenting. He regretted all his actions that had caused pain to the Xu family.

“Get up first. We’ll talk. There’s no need for you to kneel to me. Xinrong is the one you should apologize to,” Xu Xuefeng said calmly.

However, the pain in his heart was also showing on his face.

Jiang Bei slowly stood up. He did not know what use his promise was at this moment. He also knew that Xu Xuefeng could not be deceived.

“Dad, I will not divorce Xinrong. I want to give Wanwan a complete family. I want to make up for all my mistakes. I have let her down all these years. I hope you can give me another chance. Trust me one more time,” Jiang Bei suddenly said.

His tone was firm and serious. Although he looked disheveled, his eyes were still bright.

“I heard from Xinrong that the money for my hospitalization was given by you?” Xu Xuefeng did not want to continue on this topic, so he asked that.

Jiang Bei’s gaze was a little conflicted, but he nodded.

“If we manage to catch the one who hit me and get the money back, I’ll return you the money. If not, Xiaoqiang and I will work hard and return it to you.”

“Dad!” Jiang Bei suddenly became a little anxious.

“Listen to me first.” Xu Xuefeng seemed a little tired. He just waved his hand and said in a calm voice.

“If you’ve really changed… then this money belongs to you and Xinrong. It belongs to your family. We, the older generation, can no longer help you financially. How can we spend your money?”

“If you and Xinrong are still getting a divorce, we definitely can’t take your money. What is the point of giving me money then? Don’t you think so?” Xu Xuefeng asked.

Jiang Bei nodded silently and didn’t respond. He knew that Xu Xuefeng hadn’t finished speaking.

“About you and Xinrong…I’ve been thinking a lot recently..”
