In front of his most trusted son and daughter-in-law, Mr. Zhan revealed his current confusion and contradiction, and even his rare helplessness.

He was vigorous and powerful for most of his life.

He never thought that when the disease came, it would not defeat him all at once, but would erode his past strength bit by bit, and gradually drain away his wisdom and judgment.

"I know Xiao Yan has his reasons for doing this.

If it were in the past, I would stand on his side without hesitation.

But now I just can’t convince myself.

I know it's me who has changed, not him.

But it was me who didn't forgive him.

I’m getting old and really useless. Now I can’t even answer the simplest multiple-choice questions.

While I still know you, I will talk to you more. Otherwise, you too will be…"

Mr. Zhan expressed his confusion in front of Zhan's father and mother.

He was entangled in one point and refused to forgive Zhan Yan. He was like a child throwing a tantrum, and also like an old stubborn man who had the final say.

In the final analysis, he took advantage of Zhan Yan's respect for him.

But he was clearly not this kind of person before.

Are you really getting senile and confused?

“Dad, we will stay with you more.

It is normal that your condition is recurring.

You and Xiaoyan are both right."

Mr. Zhan stood up and walked to the old man's side. His eyes turned red after just a few words.

His father has always been his idol and the person he admires most in his life.

He knew that his father would leave him one day.

But when the father who was once so strong and fearless can't even answer a multiple-choice question properly, Zhan Xiumiao hates his own powerlessness.

"Dad, Xiu Miao, we will always be a family."

Zhan's mother also came to the old man. She could not forget the nervousness she felt when she met his parents for the first time.

When I first saw the old man, I felt that he was very serious and decisive.

She was also worried that the old man would set rules for her.

As a result, after drinking a few glasses of wine, the old man started talking about Zhan Xiu Miao's shortcomings, and then asked her to think carefully before getting married, because there would be no returns.

The old man said that he has no biological daughter, so he treats his daughter-in-law as his own daughter when she marries him.

My son is wrong, kick him out immediately!

In the Zhan family, men must never bully women.

And over the years, the old man has always kept his word.

"Don't tell Xiao Yan about what happened tonight. I'll find a chance to explain it to him in person.

You are the eldest son and daughter-in-law of the Zhan family. Over the years, everyone else in the family has been watching you do things, and you have been under a lot of pressure.

You have worked hard. In the future, if I am no longer around, the cohesion of the Zhan family will depend on you."

After the old man finished speaking, he waved his hands, indicating that he was tired and needed to rest.

Zhan Xiumiao didn't dare to leave, for fear that if he left he would never see the old man again.

In the end, the housekeeper had to persuade him to leave, looking back every few steps.

Zhan Xiumiao did not sleep that night. He got dressed at four o'clock and waited at the old man's door. He felt relieved only when he heard the old man snoring.

Zhan's mother felt sorry for him, so she made him some hot soup to remove dampness and waited for him to drink it when he returned to his room.

The next day at noon, Zhan's father and mother accompanied the old man for lunch. The old man wanted to go out for a walk by himself. Zhan's father and mother couldn't persuade him, so they could only repeatedly tell the housekeeper to take good care of the old man.

An hour later, the old man arrived at the hillside behind Qingshan Pavilion.

He was very close to the cliff on the hillside, so a cordon was set up to prevent children from running up.

Mr. Zhan crossed the cordon, not allowing the butler to follow him, and stood on the edge of the cliff by himself.

He let the cold wind from the bottom of the cliff blow up, making his body sway.

"Old man, please come here first. The wind is blowing."

The housekeeper was terrified, but the old man didn't listen after he called out to him several times.
