"It wouldn't be fun if I told you this. Just wait and see."

Chu Jinxiao had the same idea as Xu Peiran and did not intend to tell Xu Zhiyan about this.

Seeing that the two had reached a tacit consensus again, Xu Zhiyan could only keep silent and wait to see what they would do.

The three of them returned to Xujia Village the next day.

Xu Shan had been worried since Xu Zhiyan left, and even began to wonder where Chu Jinxiao had taken Xu Zhiyan.

As soon as I came back from the fields that day, I saw a familiar carriage parked at the door.

Seeing Chu Jinxiao coming down, Xu Shan walked over and was about to speak, when he saw Xu Peiran coming down afterwards, with Xu Zhiyan at the back.

Xu Shan couldn't say anything immediately. He looked at Xu Zhiyan and asked, "Yanyan, have you gone to find your brother?"

Xu Zhiyan didn't see Xu Shan's little thoughts, but nodded and said, "Yes, we went to find my brother after we finished our work. It just so happened that he was going to take a vacation, so we went to pick him up."

Xu Shan couldn't help but smile: "It's good that you're back, let's go in first."

Xu Peiran called Xu Shan lightly, and followed Xu Zhiyan and the others into the house.

Looking at Xu Peiran's cold expression, Xu Shan knew that Xu Peiran knew everything.

Xu Shan rubbed his brows with his hand and looked at Xu Peiran with a complicated expression. When Xu Peiran was about to enter the house, he said, "Peiran, can we talk?"

Xu Shan was a little cautious when he said this, worried that Xu Peiran would not give her this opportunity.

Xu Peiran did not refuse. He nodded and went out with Xu Shan.

When he left, he looked at Xu Zhiyan and said, "Yanyan, I want to eat the ribs and fish you made."

"I'll do it right now."

After Xu Peiran and Xu Shan left, Xu Zhiyan quietly asked Chu Jinxiao beside him, looked outside worriedly and said, "Do you think my father and brother will not cause any trouble?"

"Don't worry, the two of them will probably just talk about the past. Don't worry."

Xu Zhiyan nodded, but she was still a little worried, but more importantly, she hoped that the father and son could make the matter clear.

Xu Shan and Xu Peiran came to the foot of the deserted mountain. Xu Shan looked at Xu Peiran and couldn't help but said, "I'm sorry, Peiran."

"It was my fault at the beginning. I shouldn't have hurt you like this for them." Xu Shan had always refused to admit that he was a bad father, but now seeing Xu Peiran like this, Xu Shan finally realized that he was not a good father.

Xu Peiran just smiled casually and said indifferently: "You don't have to be like this. After all, this happened a long time ago. It's good that I can continue my studies now."

Xu Shan's face turned pale, knowing that Xu Peiran was still blaming him in his heart.

After a long silence, he said to Xu Peiran: "This is my fault."

Xu Peiran said nothing to this: "Do you realize you were wrong only now?"

Xu Shan was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding what Xu Peiran meant by this.

Xu Peiran, on the other hand, stretched out his hand and scratched his hair in annoyance. He looked at Xu Shan and said, "Since we severed our relationship, do you really not know that we have been wronged?"

"No, it's not just severing the relationship, it's always been like this."

"You have always known that Old Lady Xu was unfair to us, but you were just comforting us and saying that you would protect us. But have you really done it?" Xu Peiran had never thought of saying these words to Xu Shan before, but now seeing Xu Shan telling him this, Xu Peiran suddenly felt that it would be better to make everything clear.

"You agreed to Xu Qian's decision to stop me from studying because of my talent. You agreed to Xu Wenyu's request for her sister's things. You also agreed to it when we severed our relationship. When Old Lady Xu wanted to take away everything from us, you still agreed. When you agreed to these things, did you really not know how much harm these things would bring to us?"

"You really don't know that my mother is crying secretly?"

Xu Peiran's questions one after another made Xu Shan a little overwhelmed. He subconsciously shook his head and said, "I'm not..."

In response, Xu Peiran just smiled sarcastically: "Okay, don't say such things anymore. It's meaningless for us to say too much."

"You are my father. We will not interfere with what you do in the future. Don't try to use our family's interests to make them happy." Xu Peiran didn't want to say anything more to Xu Shan.

A lot of damage has already been done. Even if Xu Shan says more and apologizes more, does that mean the damage has not been done?

"You don't really think that my sister and my mother have forgiven you?"

Xu Shan looked at Xu Peiran in a daze.

Come to think of it, Xu Zhiyan and her mother seemed to have never really thought about forgiving him.

I just thought that we are all family, and now that things have come to this point, I will forgive him, and then they will continue to live a good life like this.

Xu Peiran noticed Xu Shan's thoughts: "You have caused us so much harm, but you just said you knew you were wrong and you would never do it again. Why do you want us to forgive you as if nothing happened?"

"If it weren't for the good relationship between Yanyan and Jinxiao, if I hadn't been secretly studying all these years, perhaps there would always be a gap between me and Qingshan Academy."

"And you, as my father, have enough money to let me go to school these years, but because you were thinking about your precious brother, you kept telling me that you had no money and made me work outside." Xu Peiran really didn't want to think about these things, but every time he saw a book, he would think of these things, so he cherished his hard-earned opportunity even more.

Cherish the opportunity to learn from famous teachers.

But Xu Shan has no idea about this.

"I know you won't forgive me, I just hope you can give me a chance, at least let me change myself and be good to you." Xu Shan said hesitantly.

Xu Peiran shrugged noncommittally: "This is your own business."

After saying that, he turned and left. He had said everything he needed to say. As for the rest, forget it. He didn't want to say anything more to Xu Shan.

Xu Shan walked home in silence. When he got back, he saw Xu Peiran talking to his wife with a smile on his face. He also told his wife some things in the academy.

After the two of them finished talking and Xu Peiran went to the kitchen to help Xu Zhiyan, Xu Shan looked at Xu's mother and asked, "Don't you believe what I said? And you haven't really forgiven me?"

Xu Muqing laughed at this and said, "It's not that I don't want to forgive you, but what I've experienced over the years is too shocking, so I don't dare to forgive you. You should understand what I mean, right?"

Xu Shan could indeed understand this, but why did he feel so sad?

"Let's just leave it like this from now on, and don't talk about the issue of forgiveness or not." Xu's mother said casually.
