Chapter 1297 Questioning
"What? Do you think I'm still the little brat who wears diapers, cries all day, and needs someone to coax and comfort me all the time?"
Nan Yifeng narrowed his eyes slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up into an extremely cold smile. That smile seemed to contain endless ridicule and contempt, which made people shudder.
In his eyes, as deep as lake water, there was a hint of disdain and alienation at this moment, as if the person standing in front of him was not his biological father, but an unrelated stranger.
He suddenly straightened his slightly bent back, his movements were quick and decisive, without any sense of dragging.
At that moment, his entire body exuded a powerful aura, as if he was formally waving goodbye to the weak and fragile self in the past.
After hearing this, Nan Yifeng's biological father couldn't help but tremble all over. His originally drooping eyelids slowly drooped down. He didn't dare to look into his son's eyes which were as sharp as a knife.
In the deepest part of his eyes, there was a strong sense of guilt and self-blame, like a surging tide, which almost drowned him.
The father's voice also became unusually low and hoarse, mixed with a bitter taste that was difficult to describe in words:
"Yi Feng... Whenever I think of the past experiences over the years, my heart is filled with endless guilt and regret. My child, it is indeed Dad who has let you and your son down! Back then, when I was just starting out, my heart was full of longing for a grand blueprint for the future, and I only wanted to pursue the so-called great dream. At that time, I was too young and naive, and I foolishly thought that only in this way could I realize my own value and become the truly successful man in the eyes of everyone."
"So, I threw myself into my career without hesitation, running around all day, leaving early and returning late. I didn't care about your daily life, your joys and sorrows. Gradually, the distance between us became greater and greater, and our family affection became weaker and weaker."
"Time flies by like a white horse, and many years have passed without me noticing. Until one day, when I was sitting alone in an empty office with my exhausted body, I suddenly woke up from a dream - it turns out that family is the most precious wealth in life; it turns out that the warmth and care of those relatives who I once ignored are the source of motivation that supports me to keep moving forward."
"But it's too late now. When I came to my senses and wanted to return to my family to make up for the love and companionship I owed you and mom over the years, I suddenly realized that I had lost the dignity I deserved. I don't know how to face you, and I don't know how to make you accept this father who once lost his way but now has found his way... So, I can only hide in the corner quietly and send you the most sincere blessings in my heart."
At this point, he paused, as if mustering up the courage to continue:
"This time...if your father hadn't called me personally to tell me the good news that you were about to get married, I might not have come up with a suitable excuse to come back here. Looking back on those days, I was young and full of energy, with only that seemingly unattainable dream in my heart and eyes. I was so focused on moving forward that I completely ignored your and your mother's deepest feelings and needs."
"Now, when I slowly look back on those past years, I can't help but feel a deep sense of regret. I finally realized that you and your mother were far more important than my so-called dream. However, the sad thing is that it was not until now that I truly realized this truth and realized that the mistake I made was so absurd and outrageous! Now, is it too late to make up for it?"
Nan Yifeng listened to his father's words, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.
He looked at his father's guilty face, his lips trembling slightly, but he didn't say anything to forgive him. However, his tightly pursed lips and slightly loosened fists revealed a trace of emotion in his heart.
The light in the room was dim and warm, but it could not illuminate the gap between the father and son.
The night outside the window is as dark as ink, quiet and deep, as if telling endless past events and unknown future.
Nan Yifeng and his father just stood there quietly. The distance between them seemed closer, yet still seemed farther.
There was a cold smile on Du Yunxi's lips, and that smile seemed to carry endless ridicule and contempt.
Her eyes were like two cold rays of light, piercing straight at the man in front of her, never leaving him for a moment. She was a woman, but not as magnanimous as her husband.
"Hehehe..."
A series of sneers came out of her mouth, each one was like a sharp knife, ruthlessly cutting through the air.
"Wow, this is so unexpected! We haven't seen each other for so many years. Who would have thought that you, who were so silent all day long and even mistaken for a dumb person, would have made a 180-degree change now. It's like you've become a completely different person!"
"Look at you now, your mouth is just like honey, you are very eloquent, and you are very eloquent, and you speak very well! Especially those sweet words that come out of your mouth, one after another, like a torrent of water! But, no matter how good you are at speaking, no matter how beautiful your words are, you can't deceive my eyes! Humph, I am not my good sister, she may be coaxed by your mouth, but I will not be fooled easily! Do you think you can fool me with your insignificant words? Let me tell you, there is no way! I will not believe your nonsense that is full of falsehood!"
At this point, Du Yunxi narrowed her eyes slightly, and the sarcasm in her eyes became even stronger.
Nan Yifeng's biological father,,,
She lifted her jade foot slightly and took a small step forward slowly. Although the steps were small, each step seemed to carry a thousand pounds of force, and she moved straight towards the man in front of her.
As the distance shortened, the aura she exuded became more and more fierce, like an enraged lioness preparing to launch a fatal attack on her prey.
Finally, she stopped just inches away from the man, raised her head slightly, and stared at the man in front of her with cold and sharp eyes, who made her hate him with gritted teeth.
Then, she spoke again, her voice was icy cold, as if it came from the Netherworld.
"Ha ha……"
Du Yunxi sneered, her voice full of sarcasm and resentment, "In your heart, your so-called dream is the only supreme and irreplaceable existence! And my good sister, the poor woman who was forced to be your wife by her parents and elders, what on earth is she in your eyes? For you, she gave up her original life, took care of this family wholeheartedly, and silently supported all your decisions. But in your opinion, isn't all that she did less important than your illusory and unattainable dream? For the sake of your dream, you don't even want your own child."
The more Du Yunxi spoke, the more excited she became. Her eyes gradually turned red and tears welled up in them, but she tried hard not to let them fall.
Nan Yifeng, "Mom, stop talking. This kind of person has no heart."
Du Yunxi ignored it and continued, "Do you know? Every time I saw her crying alone in a corner where no one knew, the pain in my heart was indescribable, as if thousands of needles were piercing my heart at the same time. She gave you all her love without reservation, but in return, you were just cold and indifferent.
"You always vowed to pursue the so-called unattainable dream, but you never even gave her the most basic care and love."
Having said that, Du Yunxi couldn't help but take a deep breath, and then tried her best to calm her turbulent emotions a little.
After a short pause, she continued, "Perhaps to you, she is just a passer-by in your long journey of life, or even just an insignificant, insignificant supporting role. But to those of us who care about her and love her from the bottom of our hearts, she is the most important person in the whole world! But it was you who so easily trampled on her sincere heart."
As she spoke to the end, she became more and more agitated, her chest heaving violently, her eyes gradually turning red, tears welling up in them and looking like they would burst out at any moment.
Her words were like a sharp blade, cutting Nan Xi's heart.
Nan Yifeng's biological father's expression changed slightly, but he bit his lips tightly and finally did not refute a word.
Seeing this, Du Yunxi's anger grew even stronger.
She widened her eyes and stared at the man in front of her, as if she could see through him.
Du Yunxi sneered and said mercilessly:
Oh my, look at how eloquent you are now. Think back to the past. I heard that you two have been married for a long time! But, from what I know, the total number of words you have said to her is probably less than ten! It is hard to imagine that she is a lady from a famous family, but you just ignored her and ignored her."
"You know, she's not just any random cat or dog, but a real person with flesh and blood and emotional needs! However, you are such a heartless guy. You only know how to devote your mind to your so-called artistic pursuits all day long. You are completely indifferent to the big and small affairs of the family and have a hands-off attitude."
"If that's the case, then why did you agree to marry her in the first place? After you married her, you treated her like this and kept saying that you and her had nothing in common. Humph, in my opinion, you are the one who is truly ridiculous! If she didn't marry you, she would definitely be very happy marrying someone else."
Having said that, Du Yunxi paused for a moment, her beautiful eyes slightly narrowed, as if she wanted to see through the person in front of her.
She took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling with her breathing, as if she wanted to absorb all the dissatisfaction and resentment in her heart into her chest.
After a moment, she spoke again, her voice slightly raised, with some uncontrollable excitement:
"Now it's great! Facing your own son, you, who are usually taciturn and frugal with words, suddenly become talkative and eloquent."
"Yun Xi, Xi... I..." Nan Yifeng's father stuttered and couldn't speak.
"Hehe, what's wrong? Did you suddenly realize that you have neglected and ignored your child for so many years, and finally feel guilty? Or... do you have other purposes?" Du Yunxi continued. . .
"Now, you are actually trying to cover up the huge mistake you made with just a few empty, flashy and sweet words?"
"Humph! That's just wishful thinking! It's too late! Once some injuries are done, they are like an extremely sharp nail that is deeply wedged into the depths of your heart. Even if you try your best to remove it, the shocking wound will still stubbornly remain there, becoming an eternal scar, constantly reminding you of your past unbearableness and pain;"
“It is like a mirror that has been mercilessly dropped to the ground, shattered into pieces. Even if you try your best to put all the pieces back together, the dense, criss-crossing cracks are still vivid, and no matter how hard you wipe them, they are difficult to eliminate. They are like ugly scars lying across the originally smooth mirror surface.”
"Think about it, when you resolutely left, poor Yi Feng was still so young, so naive and innocent, full of longing and expectations for the world. But what about you? As a father, how could you be so cruel to abandon him and let him endure the hardships and loneliness of life alone? Have you ever thought about his feelings? Have you ever considered how his future life will be overshadowed by your departure?"
Nan Xi,,,, his wife is so awesome,,,,
The more Du Yunxi spoke, the more excited she became. Her voice became higher and higher, so sharp and piercing that it seemed like it was going to break through the roof.
Every word was filled with endless anger and resentment, like a sharp dagger stabbing straight into the other's heart.
The air in the entire room seemed to be frozen, and it was so depressing and dull that it was almost hard to breathe. The tense atmosphere was like a string that was stretched to the extreme and would break at the slightest disturbance.
Nan Yifeng's father lowered his head and remained silent, but his heart was filled with mixed emotions.
He knew that he had indeed neglected too much in the past, and both his wife and son had been hurt because of his so-called dream.
Outside the window, the night is as dark as ink and silent.
The lights in the room were dim and dark, illuminating Du Yunxi's angry face and the guilty look of Nan Yifeng's biological father.
At this moment, time seemed to freeze, leaving only endless silence and regret in the air.
