Chapter 863

Yan Youcheng turned around and looked at Yan Qing carefully.

He saw that he had indeed lost a lot of weight, but the light in his eyes was clear.

Di Qu did not say anything more when he saw this. Instead, he retreated to the side, leaving time for the father and son.

After a long silence, Yan Qing finally took a deep breath and turned to look at Yan Youcheng. He apologized sincerely, “Dad, I’m sorry. I’ve let you down. ”

Since things had come to this, other than saying sorry, Yan Qing thought that he had no other words to say.

Fortunately, his father was still alive and well, or else he would have to live a life of pain and torture.

Yan Youcheng was originally not very angry, but when he heard his son take the initiative to apologize, his heart was completely relaxed.

“It’s good that you know you’re wrong. People are not sages, who can not make mistakes? It’s great to be able to change through mistakes. ” Yan Youcheng let out a long sigh, one hand supporting his walking stick, the other hand patting Yan Qing’s shoulder.

Yan Qing nodded, his lips curled into a faint smile.

Yes, he was still happy.

At least, no matter what he did, no matter how wrong he was, his father was still willing to accept him.

That was enough.

He looked up at the fountain in front of him. “In the past, I was suffocated by hatred and did too many wrong things. I envied Yan Jun with all my heart. I only saw what he got, but I never thought about what he sacrificed. ”

“…”Yan Youcheng gritted his teeth. His eyes were a little sad, but he didn’t say anything more.

It was indeed his selfishness to hand over everything of the Yan family to Yan Jun..

Firstly, it was because of long Qingxin.

Secondly, it was also because Yan Jun was the legitimate grandson of the YAN family.

Yan Qing was still an illegitimate child.

Although in the eyes of the law, Yan Qing was still protected, but in terms of ethics and morals, Yan Youcheng did not want to let the Yan family be criticized by the world a hundred years later and choose an illegitimate child as the successor.

Whether it was said that he was selfish or Conservative, this was his responsibility.

He swore to protect the Yan family to the death.

As for Yan Qing… … He could only feel apologetic towards him …

“Dad, were you happy when you were with mom? ” Yan Qing suddenly asked again.

The Aura on his body was faint, like the flowing water of time. It was weak and insipid, and no longer had the deep hatred and resentment of the past.

Yan Youcheng was stumped by his question. Without paying attention, he fell into a deep memory.

He remembered the first time he met Zhou Lingfang —

She was hanging out at the romantic scene in Jiangnan.

A young girl who had just debuted, eighteen years old, so tender that it was as if water could be squeezed out.

She was holding a lute, wearing a flag costume, and her eyes were as timid as a small animal. Just like that, she was limpid and looked at him timidly.

A poem suddenly popped up in his mind, ‘still holding the lute and covering half of her face’ .

She was completely different from the overbearing and fierce long Qingxin.

It was out of curiosity and also out of revenge that he chose her.

She followed him for decades.

Now that she was already dead, Yan Youcheng did not want to criticize her anymore. As for whether they were happy when they were together… …

He thought that it should be more of stimulation and greed.

And the reason why she was willing to follow him was only because of money.

If it wasn’t for Yan Youcheng buying her first time, it would have been another man, and she might have followed that man for the rest of her life.

Who could say for sure about things like fate?

“Let bygones be bygones. ” Yan Youcheng changed the topic and heavily patted Yan Qing. “You’re still young. Live well in the future. ”
