"Old Su... what's wrong with you?" the young man asked, surprised by Old Su's appearance."It's nothing... just reminiscing about some past events...""Xiao Zhao, come closer and look. This Su Fuqiang and I..." Old Su said, pulling Xiao Zhao closer."This..." At first glance, ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ Xiao Zhao didn't see anything, but after a few more careful looks, he actually noticed that Su Fuqiang and Old Su bore a striking resemblance in their facial features!However, because Su Fuqiang was a farmer, his complexion was naturally darker, which somewhat obscured the resemblance.If not for that slight obscuration, he and Old Su would look even more alike!Then he looked at Su Yun and, for a moment, realized that Su Yun also bore a resemblance to Old Su!"Old Su... what exactly is going on here?" Xiao Zhao asked, astonished.Old Su's hands were trembling. He gently picked up a cup of tea, which was constantly shaking, and a few drops spilled out... His gaze fixed on the distant, star-filled sky that had already fallen into darkness, Old Su's memories drifted to an unknown era."Xiao Zhao, you know, I have three children.""Two sons and a daughter.""And this Su Fuqiang in the photo before us is my... youngest son, lost to me..." Old Su's voice was filled with extremely complex emotions."What...?" Xiao Zhao's eyes widened, completely disbelieving!Old Su's son!Old Su's youngest son, lost to him!This... this was simply too incredible... "Old Su... is this true? Are you sure? Although they look alike, it doesn't necessarily mean he's your blood relative..." Xiao Zhao quickly said.If it were to get out that Old Su had another son, it would be a cataclysmic earthquake for the entire Su Family!This matter had to be handled cautiously, seriously, and thoroughly investigated!"That's right...""He has a very inconspicuous birthmark on the left side of his face.""Although his complexion is dark now, I can still spot it at a glance!" Old Su said, tapping the table.Xiao Zhao quickly picked up the photo, and sure enough, he found that tiny birthmark on Su Fuqiang's face!This was actually true... "Old Su... I... I really don't know what to say..." Xiao Zhao still hadn't recovered from the shock."Surprised?" Old Su asked."Yes, more than just surprised...""Old Su's youngest son, actually named Su..." Xiao Zhao sighed."Hmm? What do you mean by that?" Old Su looked at Xiao Zhao, full of doubt."No, no, no... Old Su, I didn't mean that. I meant, it's such a coincidence and good fortune that your son, lost to you, also happens to be named Su..." Xiao Zhao quickly clarified."Yes... perhaps this is fate..." Old Su also sighed deeply. After getting older, he had resolutely quit smoking, but now he reached out directly, took Xiao Zhao's cigarette, and lit one.Xiao Zhao didn't say anything, but quietly watched Old Su smoke.After a minute or two, the cigarette was finished.Xiao Zhao took this opportunity to ask the question on his mind."Old Su, what was the reason that led to your separation from your son?" Xiao Zhao found a place to sit down."That's a long story...""This son of mine is the one I feel most sorry for.""When he was born, the doctors declared him dead, and the situation at the time was also very special. I only left the hospital for a moment, and this child simply disappeared!""I searched the surrounding areas for two years with no results. All these years, I've also been secretly searching for his whereabouts across the country, but to no avail.""Just as I thought my old bones were about to give out, I never expected...""His son, which is my grandson, came into my sight!""I accidentally saw his photo at the time and felt that there seemed to be a connection between us in the unseen world!""So I quickly looked into it, and to my surprise, he was from Jiangcheng!""And the place where I lost my fourth child back then was also Jiangcheng...""Perhaps, this is a coincidence, this is fate, allowing me to find my lost son when I only have a few years left to live...""Phew..." Old Su exhaled, the complex emotions in his eyes almost comparable to pi.Xiao Zhao also roughly understood what had happened after listening. Although Old Su didn't explain it too clearly, one could still piece it together with a little thought.But the next problem was whether Old Su would acknowledge his fourth son and bring him back into the family!This problem was too difficult; the interests involved were too great!The Su Family was no ordinary family. The Su Family was one of the prominent families in the capital, with significant influence in various industries, and its network of connections throughout Great Xia was incredibly complex... Two sons, one a business magnate, the other a regional governor!And there was a daughter, who was Great Xia's most famous writer!Even if they agreed with Old Su's idea, what about the third generation below them? It would inevitably cause some trouble.And on the fourth son's side, he hadn't been with Old Su since he was a child, having been raised by adoptive parents. He could be said to be a complete Jiangcheng native. Would he be willing to acknowledge a father he had never met?These numerous issues were simply too troublesome, too complicated... "Old Su, what are you thinking now?" Xiao Zhao asked.Old Su looked into the distance, took a deep breath, and then slowly said, "All of this can only depend on fate.""Of course I want to acknowledge this child, but what about him? Although we are father and son, we have never met.""Such matters cannot be rushed. I still have a good few years left to live, so I can only take it one step at a time.""Of course, during this time, meeting him once is still achievable..."
