"Just treat them like Ruoan was when he was little, and love them again. They are your chance to love again and make amends."

"Forget it, no need to say more. I know what's going on and will fully cooperate with the treatment." There was determination in Grandpa Xia's eyes. He longed to witness the birth and growth of the three little guys with his own eyes and witness the miracle of life.

"That's good. When the time comes, I will make sure you take the medicine on time and won't be careless at all." Lin Cai's words were full of concern and unquestionable determination.

"Grandpa Xia, please leave the evidence to me. I'll take care of the rest."

"Please take good care of yourself. If you have any requests, just tell me. I will do my best to live up to your expectations." Lin Cai's words were gentle and firm, but the sense of responsibility that could not be shirked made people respect him.

"I know your determination to seek justice for Grandma Xia, but as her descendant, how can I let you bear this burden alone?"

Lin Cai's words revealed a hint of helplessness and self-blame, but more of it was a deep understanding and respect for Old Man Xia.

Mu Shen nodded slightly, his eyes filled with determination, "Grandpa Xia, let's leave it to Lin Cai."

"After all, we share the same determination. We vow to ensure that those who have caused pain to Grandma Xia receive the sanctions and punishment they deserve."

Lin Cai's expression was equally solemn. He analyzed every word, "That was an unforgivable crime of murder. According to the law, the most severe punishment could be life imprisonment or even the death penalty. The twenty-year statute of limitations has expired, but it's not excessive for us to continue pursuing the case."

Grandpa Xia looked at the young people in front of him. The determination and indomitable spirit in their eyes made him feel emotional.

Finally, he nodded slowly, "Okay, I'll hand the things over to Lin Cai when I get back later. I'll leave everything else to you."

Thinking of Xia Lin, Grandpa Xia looked at his grandchildren in front of him, his eyes full of satisfaction and emotion: "Having you children is the best thing Xia Lin has done in his life. You are all good children."

Upon hearing this, Mu Shen and the others smiled at each other, their smiles filled with warmth and gratitude. "No, Father, it should be said that we are lucky to have met you."

"It was he who gave us a warm home and a sense of belonging in this world. Every achievement we have today is inseparable from his careful guidance and selfless dedication."

"If it weren't for him, we might have been in some corner of this world, and we don't know what our fate would be."

"He has always treated us as his own children and has never had any prejudice against us because of the adoption."

"In front of outsiders, he always proudly called us 'sons'. We will never forget this deep friendship." As they spoke, their eyes were filled with deep respect and gratitude for Xia Lin.

"When my parents' close friends mentioned us, they always referred to us as Teacher Xia and Teacher Zhong's sons. There were no other unnecessary words, especially the sensitive word 'adopted', which never appeared in their mouths."

Although everyone knows the truth of the matter, it is not easy to keep it secret and not mention it in front of the parties involved.

However, whether it was their close friends or casual acquaintances with whom they occasionally interacted, they all seemed to have reached a tacit understanding - never talk about adoption in front of them, and never ask them how they must respect Xia Lin and his wife in the future.

Mu Shen naturally understood this.

On his face, which was originally as cold as ice, a barely perceptible smile flashed across his face.

Old Master Xia looked at the children in front of him with loving eyes, his eyes revealing an unconcealable sense of relief.

He slowly began, "I have to admit, your father is much more capable than I am. He's educated and raised you so well, he's far better than a father like me!"

Speaking of this, Mr. Xia couldn't help but recall the past years.

Back then, in order to protect Xia Lin with all his might, he had no choice but to make the difficult decision to force Xia Lin to leave home. At that time, Xia Lin had just lost his loving mother and was already immersed in great grief, but he was forced to leave with deep resentment towards his biological father.

Recalling the look of despair and sadness in Xia Lin's eyes when he left, Old Man Xia felt as if his heart was being pierced by thousands of needles at the same time, and the pain was unbearable.

He knew very well how disappointed and helpless Xia Lin must have felt at that moment.

"Grandpa Xia was really caring and loving towards my father! You know, if a person has never felt love, how can he know how to care for others? And my father is such a loving person." Lin Cai held Grandpa Xia's hand tightly and said with great emotion.

When Mr. Xia heard this, his eyes welled up and his heart was filled with emotion and relief.

After Mu Shen got the report, he walked over and signaled Lin Cai to send the person back, and agreed that everyone would eventually meet at Leng Zexi and Ruoan’s new home.

After everyone arrived at their destination, Mu Shen took out a bottle of allergy medicine from his pocket and handed it to Ouyang Jin.

Ouyang Jin took the medicine bottle with a puzzled look on his face, looked at Mu Shen in confusion, and asked, "Why are you giving me this medicine?"

Mu Shen smiled slightly, raised his hand and pointed to the magnificent new courtyard in front of him, explaining: "Ruoan and Leng Zexi's wedding room, the entire yard is planted with colorful flowers, and now is the flowering season, those flowers are in full bloom."

"But for someone like you who's prone to pollen allergies, you can either take this allergy medicine and go in to enjoy the view, or you can only stand outside and wait for us to come out."

Zhong Zishu, who was standing by, nodded repeatedly, agreeing with Mu Shen's statement: "That's right, the layout of this courtyard was completed according to the design drawings I provided to Leng Zexi!"

"What's even more rare is that many elements here come from Ruoan's own paintings, such as the garden she has always dreamed of. Now Leng Zexi has helped her make it a reality!"

Ouyang Jin listened helplessly, slowly reached out to take the bottle of allergy medicine, poured out a few pills, and then tilted his head back to swallow them.

His eyes were filled with bitterness and regret, and he muttered to himself, "Oh, this is really my fault! How could I be allergic to pollen? It would be fine if she were allergic to other things, but it has to be pollen... Now, if Ruoan wants to grow flowers at home, she has to stay away from me."

Seeing this, Mu Shen, who was standing nearby, gently patted Ouyang Jin's shoulder and comforted him, "Don't blame yourself too much. This is a physical problem after all, and it's not something you can easily change."

"Besides, don't we have a small vegetable garden at home? The vegetables grown there are fresh and healthy, and we can even save a lot of money on buying groceries. Ruoan is quite content with this."

However, Ouyang Jin's guilt didn't diminish in the slightest. He sighed and continued, "But I always feel sorry for Ruoan."

"She should have had her own little garden long ago, where she could arrange the beautiful flowers as she pleased. But because of my problem, it was delayed until now, and in the end, she had to rely on another man to help her realize this wish.

When I think of this, I feel particularly uncomfortable. "

At this time, Mu Shen couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, time flies! I still remember that little baby back then, and now he's married and about to have a baby!"

"Yes, brother, look at this situation. Doesn't it feel like my daughter is growing up?" Ouyang Jin sighed lightly and spoke slowly.

There was a hint of reluctance in his words that was hard to conceal.

"You guys don't want to let her go either, right? Otherwise, why don't we just bring Ruoan back home? I really regret letting Ruoan get married!" Ouyang Jin turned his gaze to everyone and expressed his inner thoughts in a firm tone.

Hearing this, Zhong Zishu couldn't help but twitch his lips slightly, and responded unhappily: "You, first return your precious equipment to Leng Zexi!"

When Ouyang Jin heard this, he immediately shut his mouth like a deflated ball.

You know, that device is extremely precious and rare, and it may not be easy to buy even if you have money.

Only Leng Zexi, who has extensive connections and strong financial resources, could have gone through so much trouble to help him get it.

But soon, Ouyang Jin cheered up again and promised solemnly, "Forget it, I've already applied to be transferred back. From now on, I will definitely pay more attention and will never let Ruoan suffer the slightest injustice!"

At this moment, Ouyang Jin seemed to have suddenly remembered something important. He looked at him with concern and asked, "Brother, how is Grandpa Xia's health? Is he really alright?"

Mu Shen slowly closed his eyes, and after a moment's silence, he softly replied, "Yes, I'm really fine. I'll explain the situation to Dad in detail when I get back. In fact, Grandpa Xia's condition is quite similar to that of my uncle, both mainly due to depression and a difficult-to-resolve heart problem."

Ouyang Jin felt relieved when he heard him say that.

"It's all thanks to Ruoan that he asked me to go over and check, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to tell what Grandpa Xia's condition was." Mu Shen felt scared when he thought about it.

"If I hadn't discovered it and hadn't cured it, Grandpa Xia's outcome wouldn't be much better than Zhou Ling'er's." Mu Shen looked at them and said.

"Zhou Ling'er's health has deteriorated again and new conditions have emerged. She may not be able to last a year. She has now begun to fall into a deep sleep." Mu Shen has not yet figured out how to tell Xia Ruoan.

"Then can the wedding still be held?" Ouyang Jin couldn't bear to hear it.
