Shen Shi walked in, glanced at Su Lie, and said with a slight smile, "Brother-in-law, Nan Xuan has delivered it to you. I won't disturb you two catching up any longer." After saying that, Shen Shi waved his hand and prepared to leave.

Su Lie called out to him at just the right moment, "Brother Shen, wait! It seems like it's been a long time since I've called you that, hasn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Shi stopped and turned around to look at Su Lie. He then said in a low voice, "Yes, Brother Su, it has been quite a while. Perhaps things have changed without us even realizing it!"

Upon hearing this, Su Lie suddenly realized that it probably started after Rou'er, Shen Shi's younger sister Shen Yurou, passed away! At that time, it was not long after Rou'er's death.

Because he was drunk, he lost control of himself, mistook Liu for Rou'er, and forced himself on her, getting Liu pregnant.

Later, Liu, heavily pregnant, came to his door and demanded that he take responsibility. Since Chu'er was still young and needed a mother, and he had no other choice, he had no option but to accept Liu into the family.

Su Lie invited Shen Shi to stay for dinner, and Shen Shi nodded in agreement. Su Lie and Shen Shi chatted about the past, and the atmosphere gradually became more relaxed.

Shen Shi looked at Su Lie and said in a low voice, "Brother Su, let bygones be bygones!" Su Lie looked at Shen Shi and nodded.

When it was time to eat, the chefs at the Su residence prepared a huge table full of dishes—it was truly a feast! There were dishes that Su Nanxuan loved, such as sweet and sour pork ribs and stir-fried lotus root slices; dishes that Shen Shi loved, such as braised lion's head meatballs and steamed sea bass; dishes that Su Yunchu loved, such as hot and sour shredded potatoes; and other dishes whose names I couldn't recall.

After lunch, Shen Shi played several games of chess with Su Lie. Su Lie looked at Shen Shi, smiled, and said in a low voice, "Brother Shen, long time no see, your chess skills have improved!"

"Not at all, Brother Su was clearly letting me win. I only won by luck!"

Su Lie glanced at Shen Shi and asked in a low voice, "Brother Shen, would you like a few more rounds?" Shen Shi smiled, nodded, and said, "Sure."

Su Lie and Shen Shi were locked in a fierce and evenly matched game of chess when Su Nanxuan walked over, looked at Shen Shi, gave him some pointers, and Shen Shi immediately gained the upper hand over Su Lie.

Su Lie glanced at Shen Shi, then at Su Nanxuan, and said with a slight smile, "Hey, Brother Shen, look, even my son Nanxuan is helping you, but he's not helping his father at all."

After hearing this, Shen Shi looked at Su Lie and said in a low voice, "Brother Su, perhaps Nan Xuan thinks that with your abilities, you don't need his help."

Then, he looked at Su Nanxuan and said with a slight smile, "Nanxuan, right?"

After hearing this, Su Nanxuan looked at Shen Shi and then at Su Lie, and nodded. "Yes! Father's chess skills are indeed very high. I'm afraid that Sixth Uncle will lose too badly and be embarrassed."

Upon hearing this, Shen Shi immediately lowered his head in embarrassment. Seeing this, Su Lie burst into laughter. Before they knew it, they had already played dozens of games of chess.

Shen Shi glanced at the sky outside, then at Su Lie, and said with a slight smile, "Brother Su, it's getting late! I'll take my leave now. Let's spar again next time!"

After hearing this, Su Lie looked at Shen Shi and nodded with a slight smile. Shen Shi then looked at Su Nanxuan and said in a low voice, "Nanxuan, now that you're home, spend some quality time with your father and Chu'er."

After hearing this, Su Nanxuan looked at Shen Shi and nodded with a smile. Su Lie and Su Nanxuan escorted Shen Shi to the door and watched him leave before entering the Su residence.

Su Lie spoke first, "Nanxuan, shall we have a chat, a heart-to-heart talk?" Su Nanxuan looked at Su Lie and nodded slightly.

Su Lie glanced at Su Nanxuan and asked with a slight smile, "Nanxuan, do you want to stay a few more days this time?"

After hearing this, Su Nanxuan looked at Su Lie and said in a low voice, "Father, I just got back, why are you asking me this? I really don't know how to answer this."

Upon hearing this, Su Lie immediately wanted to slap himself on the head. Why did he have to ask that? He must be getting senile!

Su Lie smiled awkwardly and said in a low voice, "Nanxuan, your father just wants you to stay at home for a few more days, that's all!"

After hearing this, Su Nanxuan looked at Su Lie and smiled. Of course, he hoped to stay at home for a few more days to spend time with his father and younger sister, Chu'er, and make up for his past mistakes.

However, he was a soldier, and when the country was at war, he was needed to go. Several times he was almost killed by the enemy, but when he thought of his father and Chu'er at home, he was instantly filled with fighting spirit.

Then, he looked at Su Lie, smiled slightly, and said, "Father, everything that happened before was my fault. I'm so sorry!"

After hearing this, Su Lie looked at Su Nanxuan, shook his head, and said in a low voice, "Nanxuan, let bygones be bygones. We need to live well together, understand?"

After hearing this, Su Nanxuan nodded, "Father, I understand. We will all be alright!"

At this moment, Su Yun Chu walked in, looked at Su Nan Xuan, then at Su Lie, and said with a light smile, "Father, brother, did Chu'er disturb you?"

"Chu'er, you've come at the perfect time!" Su Lie looked at Su Yun Chu and said with a slight smile, "Let's have a good chat together!"

Su Nanxuan chimed in, "Little sister, it's been a long time! Let's chat!" Su Yun Chu glanced at Su Lie, then at Su Nanxuan, and nodded with a slight smile, "Okay!"

Su Nanxuan looked at Su Yun Chu and asked in a low voice, "Sister, when I came with Uncle Liu, we found you and Xi'er packing your things. What were you doing?"

Just as Su Yun Chu was about to say something, Su Lie glanced at Su Yun Chu, then at Su Nan Xuan, and said with a slight smile, "Nan Xuan, your sister Chu'er has set up a free medical clinic outside the Su residence, and I heard it's doing quite well!"

As Su Lie spoke, a proud expression appeared on his face. His daughter was outstanding, and he, as her father, was proud of her.

Upon hearing this, Su Nanxuan immediately showed a look of surprise. Although he had left home a long time ago, he still knew a little about the situation in the Su family.

His sister, Su Yun Chu, doesn't know any medicine at all. He had taught her some before, but she never learned it. Is she really his sister?

Su Nanxuan looked at Su Yun Chu and asked in confusion, "Little sister, when did you learn medical skills?"

"Brother, I only learned it recently," Su Yun Chu replied truthfully.

"And my medical skills are quite good now; I've saved a lot of people!" Su Yun Chu said proudly.

The Su father and son exchanged a glance, both feeling very gratified.
