"Then I'll supervise you in the future," Ye Ling said.”
Ye Xiong said readily," Sure. Dad, I'll make it clear today. I have to quit drinking."”
"Just do it for my son."
"It's also for your health," Ye Ling emphasized.”
"Yes, yes, yes. Then today, we…"
Ye Xiong found two small cups of white wine and poured two glasses of water.
"Dad has made the decision. Let's drink water instead of wine.”
Wang Yan smiled and said,"Old Ye, what's wrong with you again? Why are you suddenly doing this to the child?"”
Ye Xiong rubbed his eyes, which were red.
"Mom, you don't know, but I'm happy today.”
He looked at Ye Ling with relief and said,"Our son is finally sensible."”
"He knows how to care for others and his parents. At least he didn't raise him in vain.”
"Listen to what you're saying. Actually, I know that our son has always been very sensible."”
"It's just that sometimes you don't know how to communicate with your parents, right, son?”
Ye Ling was touched. In the eyes of parents, they would never really be angry at their children.
Even though Ye Ling appeared to be estranged from his family, his parents had never truly alienated him.
"Come, Dad, let's drink water instead of wine. I'll toast you.”
Ye Ling picked up a glass filled with water.
Ye Xiong picked up his cup as well. The two of them clinked their glasses and some water spilled out.
The father and son downed the water in their cups. Even though it was plain water, Ye Ling could taste the spiciness of the wine.
Perhaps it was the atmosphere, or perhaps it was an illusion caused by his rising emotions.
Wang Yan said gratefully," Alright, alright, alright. We've touched glasses. Come and eat."”
Thousands of words were said in the clinking of glasses just now. It was the first time Ye Ling had toasted with his father at the dining table, and it was also the first time he had opened his heart to Ye Xiong.
He knew that the relationship between father and son, which had been at a freezing point, was different at this moment.
Wang Yan picked up her chopsticks and kept putting food into Ye Ling's bowl.
"Come, son, eat this. Eat more meat.”
" Yes," Ye Ling said." Thank you, Mom."
"You're still so polite to your mother," Wang Yan rebuked.”
"The three of us haven't had a meal together like this in a while, right?" Ye Xiong chuckled.”
Wang Yan said," Our son usually has to study at night. When he comes back, it will be dark. You often work overtime. How can you have time to eat together?"”
Ye Xiong knew that he did not care enough about Ye Ling, but it was too late when he realized that.
Ye Ling was no longer willing to tell him everything like when he was young.
It was also at that time that Ye Xiong knew that he had missed out on some of Ye Ling's growth.
He said guiltily,"Son, I've neglected you and the family in the past. I hope you can forgive me."”
Ye Ling's eyes reddened. He did not expect that a man with a strong personality and a steel will would apologize to him.
"Dad, don't say that," he whispered.”
"I did something wrong too.”
"Alright, alright, it's fine as long as we talk things out." Wang Yan's heart ached.”
"We're a family of three. We'll live well in the future.”
"Your mother is right," Ye Xiong said."Nothing can break us up from now on.”
He said it unconsciously, but it hit the softest spot in Ye Ling's heart.
" Yes," Ye Ling muttered." We're a family. We'll never be separated again."”
Ye Xiong was in a good mood as he enjoyed the rare reunion. Although he did not drink, his face was flushed with excitement.
"Son, how was your monthly exam?" Wang Yan asked.”
" Don't worry, Mom," Ye Ling said." You did well this time. You should be able to get 400 points."”
"Really?" Ye Xiong asked in surprise.
The couple rarely cared about Ye Ling's results.
It wasn't that they didn't want to care, but it would be useless to ask.
Ye Ling didn't listen to his parents, so no one in school could control him.
The results of every exam were also terrible.
As time passed, the couple tacitly acknowledged the fact that their son was a slacker and subconsciously began to avoid this topic.
However, she was already in her third year of high school. Wang Yan was still worried.
If Ye Ling could not go to university, he would have to work outside.
She still could not bear to see Ye Ling end up like them, struggling to make a living every day.
" Of course it's true," Ye Ling said casually." You'll know when the results are out."”
" That's great," Ye Xiong said quickly." There are still a few months before the college entrance exam. If you work harder, there's still hope for you to get into the university."”
He patted Wang Yan's hand and said,"Our son is still very powerful."”
"Yeah, if I really get into university, I'll wake up laughing even in my dreams," Wang Yan said excitedly.”
"Do you still remember your nephew from your hometown?" Ye Xiong asked.”
"You mean the son of the Fang family?"
"Yes, it's him."
"Is it Cousin Fang Lei?" Ye Ling asked curiously.”
Ye Xiong nodded." That's him. He used to come to our house to play when he was young. But you were too young then, only two or three years old. I don't think you remember."”
He did not have much of an impression of him, but Ye Ling did hear Wang Yan mention this nephew of his.
He got into a good university and worked in a law firm after graduation. At that time, he had already bought a house in the capital.
Later, during Wang Yan's funeral, Fang Lei came over and said a few words to Ye Ling, comforting him for a long time.
Ye Ling remembered that he had given him a name card or something, saying that if he needed help in the future, he could go to the capital to find him.
" That kid wasn't very smart since he was young," Ye Xiong said." Fortunately, he was willing to work hard and endure hardships."”
"At that time, he got into a first-tier university and went straight to work at a law firm after graduation.”
"Tsk tsk, when he held the admission letter, his parents were so excited that they cried.”Ye Xiong sighed.
Wang Yan also remembered." That's true. He's quite famous in our hometown.”
Ye Ling was deep in thought. Indeed, his cousin was about the same age as him, but their paths were worlds apart.
His family was not well-off, and they lived in the countryside. They did not live as conveniently as Ye Ling's family.
However, Fang Lei managed to get into a good university with his own hard work and changed his family's fate.
Ye Xiong saw that Ye Ling had stopped talking and comforted him,""Son, it's okay. You're still the best in Dad's heart.”
"We don't have to envy others."
He patted Ye Ling's shoulder." You're much more sensible now. I'm already satisfied."”
Ye Ling knew that Ye Xiong was comforting him. After all, as a parent, who wouldn't want their child to get into a good university?
It would be so embarrassing if he told others.
Moreover, it was not only related to his parents 'face. Getting into a good school would also be a boost to his own life path.
" Dad, don't worry," Ye Ling said." I'll get into university."”
Ye Xiong said sadly,"Dad won't force you. You just have to work hard."?”
Wang Yan also said,"Yes, your father is right. Dad and Mom still want to see you happy. This is more important than anything else."”
Ye Ling thought to himself,'It's precisely because you only want me to be happy that I'm even more determined to get into a good university.'
Because as a child, I also hope that you will be happier.
" Yes," Ye Ling smiled." I understand."”
