Because of what happened back then, the Su family was filled with guilt towards the Lin family.
All these years, the Su family had been trying their best to find Lin Rui.
However, because Su Yao's mother suffered from mental illness shortly after the fire, and Su Yao's father was just an ordinary worker, the Su family's life had not been good over the years.
They did not have much ability to find Lin Rui.
At this moment, the son of his long-lost savior had returned to his home. He knew his identity at the first moment, but he did not hate him at the first moment. Instead, he extended a friendly hand to him.
As the little girl who was saved back then, how could Su Yao not be touched?
"Lin…Brother Lin Rui, I…our entire family has let your Uncle Lin and you down.”
Su Yao stretched out her hand and shook Lin Rui's hand gently. Then, she lowered her head and began to cry.
Lin Rui patted her shoulder.
He sighed softly." Don't be silly. What happened back then was an accident. Although I've never met him, I'm proud to have such a brave father.”
Su Yao continued to cry.
"Brother Lin Rui, our whole family owes Uncle Lin and you. We…we will definitely do everything we can to make it up to you in the future. Now that you're finally back, this is great. I'll tell my father immediately. I believe he'll be happier than me.”
Lin Rui could tell that Su Yao was a very honest and well-behaved girl. She dressed very casually and had a good personality. Moreover, the information he learned at the police station also told him that the Su family was actually very dutiful.
Although the incident back then had something to do with them, they could not blame their family. After all, his father had chosen to save them willingly.
"Don't be in a hurry. Do you know where my father's grave is? I want to pay my respects to him first."
Su Yao nodded vigorously.
"Brother Lin Rui, I'll go with you.”
After Lin Juemin's death, his ashes were buried in a cemetery park called Bagong Mountain in the suburbs of Shanghai.
Back then, Lin Juemin's funeral expenses were all paid for by the Su family.
Su Yao's family felt especially guilty about Lin Juemin's death. Their family was not rich to begin with, and after the fire, the Su family's situation became even worse. However, in the end, Su Yao's father, Su Changqing, still resolutely took out all the savings in the family and bought a precious place with good feng shui for Lin Juemin in Bagong Mountain.
It was also because of this reason that Su Yao's mother did not receive timely treatment due to financial reasons when she had mental problems. In the end, as her condition worsened, she could no longer be cured.
Now, Su Yao's mother was already living in a mental hospital in the city. Although Su Yao and Su Changqing did not want to put her in a mental hospital, her actual situation was no longer able to stay at home.
Su Changqing was busy in the factory all year round, and Su Yao had already gone to university. The actual situation made it impossible for them to leave their mentally ill mother at home to take care of her.
After arriving at Bagong Mountain Cemetery, Su Yao led Lin Rui to the grave of her father, Lin Juemin.
Lin Juemin's grave was very clean. Su Yao and Su Changqing would come here almost once a month to pay their respects to Lin Juemin.
Su Yao said that Su Changqing would bring two bottles of Erguotou every time he returned. He would drink one bottle for himself and another for Lin Juemin, who was underground. Every time, he would finish the wine in the bottle and cry until his tears were dry before leaving.
On the way here, Su Yao had also prepared two bottles of Erguotou and some fruits.
Lin Rui sat in front of his father's grave, his eyes slightly moist.
He opened the Erguotou, took a sip, and poured another mouthful on the ground.
Su Yao stood beside him and looked at him silently. The corners of her eyes were already blurred by tears.
" Father, I'm back. It's been eighteen years, and I've finally found my source. I've imagined countless times of us reuniting, whether it's happy or unhappy. I've imagined it all, but the only thing I've never imagined is this eternal separation between heaven and man.”
"Perhaps this is the fate between us father and son. I have looked for you many times over the years, but it has all ended in failure. This time, I originally returned with low expectations, but in the end, I found you. However, I never expected that our reunion would be such a farewell.”
At this point, Lin Rui was sobbing for the first time in his life.
He poured cup after cup of Erguotou into his mouth. In less than ten minutes, he had finished a bottle of Erguotou.
The Erguotou that had been sprinkled on the ground had also accumulated into a small pile of water.
Su Yao, who was standing silently at the side, wanted to console him when she saw this scene. However, she had no choice but to remain silent.
Lin Rui then opened the second bottle of Erguotou and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes.
He gulped down another mouthful.
He looked at Lin Juemin's tombstone and said self-mockingly,""Father, I've seen that woman. She's already remarried. The man she's married to now is a very powerful businessman in Shanghai.”
"Actually, I didn't have much of an opinion about her remarriage, but Father, do you know?”
"I just recognized her as my relative for less than an hour, and because of a phone call from that man, that woman wanted to cut ties with me. She even threw out 10 million yuan as compensation, saying that my existence would bring negative effects to her current family.”
At this point, Lin Rui's flushed face was filled with deep anger.
He poured another glass of wine on the ground.
"Father, do you think a mother like her is worthy of being my mother?" she asked with a bitter smile.”
When Su Yao, who was standing at the side, heard this, her expression changed drastically.
His body could not help but tremble slightly.
