"Yes, yes, I know."
Su Jiansen nodded repeatedly. "As for Xia Jing, I'll do my best to make it up to her and Tangtang."
Su Zhihao wanted to say more, but seeing his father lower his head in dejection and regret, he swallowed his words.
Over the past few years, his dad had done everything he could to make amends to his sister, but Xia Jing's attitude had never changed. She refused all his help. Even with something as major as starting a company, she had turned him down, preferring to build it from scratch with her manager.
Five years had passed, and his relationship with his daughter remained exactly as it had been.
That was probably why his dad was always so careful around him, afraid that some oversight might hurt him and turn him into another Xia Jing.
"You don't have to walk on eggshells."
Su Zhihao said helplessly, "I'm not a little kid. I was almost eighteen when Mom and my sister went abroad. I didn't blame you then, so even if you really divorce Mom, I won't have anything to say about it. You're an adult. You can make your own decisions."
"Yes, yes."
Su Jiansen nodded anxiously. "As long as you understand."
Something else seemed to cross his mind, and he looked at Su Zhihao, hesitating to speak.
Su Zhihao said, "...Is there something else?"
"Have you... seen your sister since you got back?" Su Jiansen asked tentatively.
"...I saw her yesterday when I was out eating with friends."
"Oh, I see."
"If you want to see my sister and Tangtang, just go see them. It's not like anyone's stopping you."
"No."
"Isn't she busy with her company? I won't disturb her."
Su Jiansen shook his head with a bitter smile.
Su Zhihao said, "..."
