Zhao Guoqiang said: "Dad, you don't know her!"

Zhao Yongfu still didn't say anything, and didn't even look at his son.

Zhao Guoqiang said: "Have you never doubted where her funds came from? What kind of nature is the industry she has been in over the years? Have you never paid attention to it?"

Zhao Yongfu said: "I have devoted most of my energy to work over the years, and I have ignored many people and many things around me." He glanced at his son: "I'm sorry to your mother. I haven't fulfilled my responsibilities as a husband or a father." He said this very difficult, and it takes considerable courage to admit his mistakes in front of his son.

Zhao Guoqiang said: "Dad, we are father and son, there is no need to apologize between us!"

Zhao Yongfu said: "Today I went to talk to me and asked me about my affairs with you, Aunt Geng over the years. They suspected that there was still financial entanglement between me and her."

Zhao Guoqiang looked at his father quietly.

Zhao Yongfu said: "I have a clear conscience in this regard! I have never used the power in my hands to create any convenience for her."

Zhao Guoqiang said: "I believe in you!"

"Thank you!" When Zhao Yongfu said this, there was a bitter smile on his lips. He clenched his fists and placed them on the rattan chair: "When your mother was seriously ill, I knew her. She was completely different from now. The reason why she became like this is entirely because of me..."

Zhao Guoqiang said: "Dad, you shouldn't have taken some responsibility."

Zhao Yongfu pursed his lips and said with difficulty: "I know what you are doubting, and I understand your true intention of investigating her."

Zhao Guoqiang did not hide his father. He nodded and said, "There is no shortage of love and hate in this world."

"She won't do this. She has always liked Guoliang very much. It is impossible to attack Guoliang!" Zhao Yongfu still didn't believe that Geng Qianqiu would attack his son.

Zhao Guoqiang stared at his father: "Dad, you don't need to convince anyone!"

Zhao Yongfu closed his eyes in pain. Of course, he understood what his son meant. Guoqiang was saying that he wanted him to convince himself first. Zhao Yongfu whispered: "You found her record of inducing labor... it has something to do with me...!"

Zhao Guoqiang was not shocked, but felt embarrassed because he had already guessed that he was humiliated because of his father's behavior. However, as a son, he could not blame his father, so he could only give him a disappointment. This was the disappointment that the father's glorious image collapsed in his heart.

Zhao Yongfu held the armrests of the rattan chair with both hands: "Your mother's health was already very bad in the past few years before leaving. We often quarrels and cracks appeared in our relationship."

Zhao Guoqiang nodded. Of course, he remembered that in the first two years before his mother passed away, there were frequent quarrels between his parents. Later, he fell into a cold war. He did not blame his father because he knew that his mother had a bad temper and was almost provoked by her every war. He still remembered that his mother held his hand before her death, and told him with tears to take care of his younger brother and treat his father well.

Zhao Yongfu said: "After meeting Geng Qianqiu, I found some comfort in her. At that time, she was very gentle and understanding."

Zhao Guoqiang didn't want to hear his father praise her too much, and said calmly: "Everyone has a different understanding."

Zhao Yongfu said: "I did something wrong, and I regarded her place as a safe haven. I thought I had found happiness, but the so-called happiness was short-lived." He took a sip of tea, held the cup with his hands, lowered his head, and did not look directly at his son's eyes. At this time, Zhao Yongfu lost his former aura and was like a criminal who bowed his head and admitted his mistake in front of his son.

Zhao Guoqiang had already guessed the result, but he was still willing to listen to his father's words.

Zhao Yongfu said: "Short long after, she became pregnant, and she didn't tell me immediately. She didn't tell me everything until it could be seen from the surface. At that time, your mother was hospitalized and she asked me to choose one between the family and her. We had a conflict for the first time. During the dispute, I accidentally pushed her to the ground." Zhao Yongfu closed his eyes tightly, and the expression on his face was extremely regretful.

Zhao Guoqiang whispered: "So, you caused her childbirth by yourself, and my mother passed away soon after."

Zhao Yongfu said sadly: "I am guilty, I am sorry to either of you."

Zhao Guoqiang said: "Is my mother's death related to this?"

Zhao Yongfu bit his lip and looked at his son. He saw the anger in his son's eyes. Zhao Yongfu said: "Guoqiang, these things have been tormenting me."

Zhao Guoqiang said: "All the past has passed, we cannot change anything, but there is one thing I have to investigate to the end, and I want to seek justice for Guoliang!"

Zhao Yongfu said: "Guoqiang, some people want to use Geng Qianqiu's affairs to drag me into the water. I am not afraid of any retribution. I am just worried that it will affect you."

Zhao Guoqiang said: "You are my dad. No matter what happens, I will handle it with you."

"The country is strong!" Zhao Yongfu was moved by his son's words.

Zhao Guoqiang stood up and patted his father on the shoulder: "Dad, go and rest, don't think too much, there will always be a solution to things."

Zhao Guoqiang went to his grandfather's house that night. His grandfather Jiang Dayang was a former vice premier. Zhao Guoqiang's purpose of coming here this time was to seek his grandfather's appearance and resolve the predicament his father is currently facing.

When Jiang Guangya saw his cousin coming, he quickly met him: "Brother Guoqiang!"

Zhao Guoqiang nodded and said, "Is grandpa here?"

Jiang Guangya looked upstairs, quietly pulled Zhao Guoqiang aside, and whispered: "Grandpa is in a bad mood today, I think you'd better find him another day."

Zhao Guoqiang said: "No, I must see him today."

Jiang Guangya said: "When I was having supper just now, my dad was scolded by him for no reason. I also saw that the situation was wrong and hurried out for a walk. Brother Guoqiang, why don't I accompany you out for a drink?"

Zhao Guoqiang shook his head and said, "I'll go see him now!"

Mr. Jiang sat alone in the bedroom with his back facing the door. He has not recovered since he had a stroke three years ago and now he needs to rely on a wheelchair to move.

The door was not closed, and Zhao Guoqiang knocked on the door: "Grandpa!"

Mr. Jiang did not say anything, and still looked ahead, but the window was completely blocked by the curtains, so he could not see outside.

Zhao Guoqiang shouted carefully again.

Mr. Jiang just nodded.

Hearing his grandfather responding to him, Zhao Guoqiang came to him with confidence and boldness, bowed down and approached his left ear and said, "Grandpa, it's me!"

Old Jiang flipped his eyelids: "I'm not old enough to not even recognize my grandson!"

Zhao Guoqiang smiled. He knew that his grandfather was a very serious person. In his impression, the old man rarely smiled on his face: "Grandfather, who are you angry with when you are sitting here alone?"

Zhao Guoqiang is not a good person, and he is far inferior to his younger brother Zhao Guoliang who died young. In fact, among their younger generations, the old man prefers the most is Zhao Guoliang, who is good at speaking. Thinking of his brother's tragic death, Zhao Guoqiang felt a secret pain in his heart.

Mr. Jiang said: "I'm not angry. Even if I'm angry, who cares? I'm so old that I can't even walk."

Zhao Guoqiang said: "Grandpa, I'm going back tomorrow. Today I'll come here to say goodbye to you."

"Just just to say goodbye to me?" Old Jiang turned sideways and looked up at his grandson. His eyes showed a more and more captivating sharpness under the tempering of time, as if they could directly penetrate the deepest part of others' hearts.

Zhao Guoqiang lowered his head, and he did not dare to look directly at his grandfather's gaze.

Mr. Jiang said: "Did you come here for your dad?"

Zhao Guoqiang's Adam's apple moved, but he still didn't speak because he didn't know how to speak out.

Mr. Jiang sighed, his voice full of sadness: "Your mother has been away for more than ten years, why can't you calm down a little? Why can't she sleep for peace of mind? What is the place in our Jiang family that I'm sorry for him, why should he treat my daughter like this?"

Zhao Guoqiang understood that the affair between his father and Geng Qianqiu had been exposed to others as the investigation unfolded, and even his grandfather had learned the truth about the incident back then, but it should not be all. He could not know that Geng Qianqiu had induced abortion for his father. Otherwise, with his grandfather's upright nature, he would definitely not spare his father.

Zhao Guoqiang said: "Grandpa, my dad regrets it very much..."

Mr. Jiang shook his head: "Repentance can't make up for anything. I know what you want to say. Guoqiang, you are a good child. Although your surname is Zhao, you are half of our Jiang family in your body. In my heart, neither you nor Guoliang nor Guangya are inferior! You are my good grandsons!"

"Grandpa!" Zhao Guoqiang bent his legs and knelt in front of the old man.

Mr. Jiang gently stroked his head: "Guoqiang, I know you are filial. Grandpa wants to teach you something today. Men must be responsible for doing things. Whoever causes the trouble will bear it. This time, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection investigates your father and style. My old face doesn't feel embarrassed. I just feel heartache. I have been deceived by Zhao Yongfu for so many years. If the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection had not found him, I wouldn't know that my daughter died so wronged!"

Zhao Guoqiang said with tears in his eyes: "Grandpa, but my dad has no financial problems."

"It's his own business if there is any problem. If there is no problem, no one will wrongly accuse him!" Mr. Jiang took back his hand, turned his wheelchair and walked for a distance towards the window.

Zhao Guoqiang still knelt there.

Mr. Jiang said: "Get up and go back and tell me your dad that he was responsible for his own fault this time. From now on, he will not be allowed to step into the threshold of our Jiang family again, and he will not be allowed to go to my daughter's grave to perform falsely!"
