After a brief exchange, Li Yuannan couldn’t help but feel embarrassed. He didn’t quite know how to handle this situation!
Having imprisoned his daughter and son-in-law (he somewhat acknowledged Pei Chen’s status now) for so many years, how should he face them next?!
To be honest, not having made this decision earlier was largely due to this reason!
"Do you... do you hate me a lot?"
After a long silence, Li Yuannan finally asked:
"So many years have just wasted away like that."
"Father, if I say there’s no resentment at all, you’d think your daughter is lying."
Li Jingwan sincerely said:
"At first there was, but over these years, I’ve come to terms with many things, and now truly there isn’t any!"
What Li Jingwan said was true; she wasn’t a saint, how could she have no resentment?
At least the greatest regret was not being able to watch her daughter grow up!
But she also understood that it was precisely because Father loved her so much and cared about her that he had already chosen a most suitable husband for her from many candidates!
But when he found out that she had secretly made a lifelong vow with a man and was about to have a child, one can only imagine how big of a shock it was to him!
Moreover, she knew that her father was a somewhat stubborn and single-minded person, so locking her up was a normal reaction!
Although her freedom was restricted for so many years, the living environment was good, and there was no lack of clothing or food!
She once heard from the old nanny that the old man secretly instructed someone to give some good things to the nanny to bring over!
Of course, this was also what the old nanny gathered from half-heard conversations among the servants!
The most crucial thing is, today she, Pei Chen, and their daughter can still meet, which truly shows Father’s mercy!
For her father, Pei Chen was at the root of everything, but he didn’t kill him all these years because he feared she’d be heartbroken, right?
And since it seemed that no harm came to the Pei Family, what reason did she have to hate anymore?
Besides, he’s already so old!
Were the events back then any less damaging to him?
And, quite importantly, over the years spent here, she had developed a very calm disposition!
"Father-in-law, rest assured, we don’t hate you. I sincerely hope we can live together as one family in harmony!"
Pei Chen said the same.
Not to mention anything else, just for not taking action against the Pei Family, I should be grateful!
Given the events of those years, it would be quite normal for the old man to react impulsively against the Pei Family!
Don’t mind the Pei Family being one of the so-called Five Great Families of Yandu, Pei Chen knew that in the old man’s eyes, it was merely like an ant!
Though directly erasing it would breach some rules of the Ancient Martial World, killing a few main figures of the Pei Family wouldn’t really provoke criticism, I believe!
I should be grateful for this goodwill; after all, those events started because of me!
He also understood why the old man was !
Because in the Ancient Martial World, it was simply impossible to let his daughter marry an ordinary worldly person!
Hearing this, the old man’s eyes brimmed with tears, truly regretting how foolish he’d been!
"Good, thank you both!"
The old man’s heart completely relaxed, his heart thoroughly softened!
"Old man, your granddaughter also said that if you’re willing, she’d like to come to see you too!"
Hearing this, Li Yuannan’s body trembled violently, and a glint flashed in his clouded eyes!
"Little Su, you’re not lying to me? She doesn’t hate me either?"
Li Yuannan tightly stared at Su Chen and asked.
"She knew you wouldn’t believe it, so she asked me to tell you directly. After hearing some things, she believed you must deeply love your daughter and granddaughter, even her father!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yuannan could no longer hold back his tears, which flowed down like a torrent!
"I was wrong, I was wrong, truly I was wrong..."
Li Yuannan shook his head, murmuring unceasingly, like a lonely old man!
"If you hated me, I might feel slightly better, but you ..., I..."
"Old man, the days ahead are long, there is a chance to make amends."
Hearing this, Li Yuannan nodded. Yes, he should change!
He also knew that this matter dragging on for so many years had much to do with his personality!
"Alright, let’s all go back first. Stay tonight, and you can leave with little Su tomorrow!"
After a while, when Li Yuannan’s mood had calmed somewhat, he spoke, knowing that the couple’s greatest concern was their daughter.
Then a group of people made their way to the main building!
This day, especially in the evening, the entire Lishan Sect was naturally elated, more lively than ever!
Li old man’s years-long internal struggle had finally been resolved, and he was thoroughly relaxed, drinking quite a lot...
The following morning, Su Chen, along with Dugu Mingyue and Qin Nishang, left with the Pei Chen couple.
As they departed, his heart felt both glad and at ease!
Although the process was somewhat tumultuous, he had successfully and perfectly resolved the matter!
The most crucial part was that he untied the knots in everyone’s hearts!
Presumably, over time, they should interact naturally and harmoniously!
After all, he could see that everyone’s feelings were present, even intense, including old man Li Yuannan, even though the old fellow was indeed a bit stubborn!
By afternoon, the group finally arrived at Yandu, and since Dugu Mingyue and Qin Nishang knew Su Chen was eager to take the Pei Chen couple home, they didn’t ask him to see them off, each taking a cab home!
Naturally, Su Chen and the Pei Chen couple were immensely grateful for their help this time, even though it didn’t help much and even had a slight backfire, but the sentiment was not to be overlooked!
Subsequently, Su Chen took the Pei Chen couple to the Pei Family compound!
At this moment, the Pei Family had long tidied up and waited to welcome them, and the scene upon their arrival was as imaginable!
After a while, Su Chen quietly left; this was a scene he thought better not to interrupt!
Fortunately, the Pei Family was already very familiar with Su Chen, so they didn’t indulge in too much formal courtesy, and it didn’t matter much!
The most crucial thing was that everyone in the Pei Family was ecstatically happy!

After leaving the Pei Family compound, Su Chen drove back.
When he returned to the villa, the ladies were still cultivating, so Su Chen didn’t disturb them and went back to his room and also started to cultivate...
