FSC [QT] Chapter 23.3

“You can’t make any wrong decisions. Once you make a mistake, no matter how much you regret it afterward, you won’t have the chance to do it again.”

Jiang Baozong watched Huo Lindong deep in thought, sighed, and patted him on the shoulder.

“You should know the story about me and Ah Wu’s mother. It was the most guilt-ridden thing in my life. Because of a wrong decision, I killed Ah Wu’s mother, caused Ah Wu’s birth prematurely, and caused my mother to die of depression.”

“If it were me now, I’m afraid that I wouldn’t have been plotted by the bad people at all. Even if I was being plotted, I would have a better way of handling it, so as not to bring the matter to that point.”

Jiang Baozong was too young at that time. When he encountered trouble, the first thing he thought of was to conceal it.

If he had chosen to confess to his wife in a better way at that time, instead of letting her get the news from those with ill intentions, his wife would not have given birth prematurely, and she would not have suffered from dystocia and hemorrhage due to the ups and downs of her mood.

Sometimes a wrong decision would bring about a series of more wrong consequences.

At that time, the woman who plotted against him was not pregnant at all. It was just that the people behind the scenes couldn’t stand his glory and deliberately found her to make trouble. He guessed the classmate who was jealous of him never thought that the matter would be so big.

After his wife died during a difficult birth, the woman who had previously claimed to be pregnant with his child ran away. It was also at that time that Jiang Baozong realized that he had been plotted and that it was very likely that nothing happened on the night when he was drunk.

But it had already happened, what was the use of trying to figure it out? Jiang Baozong at that time didn’t understand this at all.

“All choices only have one chance. You can’t think that God will give you a second chance every time you make a decision. Lindong, you are a smart child. Just like me, you are arrogant and conceited. I am reminding you now as a person who has been there and as a father.”

“Your attitude toward Ah Wu determines Ah Wu’s attitude toward you. If you really like her, treat her as an independent person first, and don’t try to dominate her with your own preferences.”

Jiang Baozong’s eyes rarely revealed a bit of fierceness. At this time, he was a father, a lion who had reached old age but still wanted to protect his cubs with his own body.

“Don’t worry, Father-in-law, I will treat Ah Wu well.”

Huo Lindong still needed some time to digest what Jiang Baozong said today, but this did not prevent him from making a promise to his father-in-law first.

***

At dinner, Huo Lindong did not feed the food into Jiang Wu’s mouth as he did at noon. Jiang Wu was a little uncomfortable at first.

Fortunately, she had been eating independently for so many years, and she only had three days to be fed by Huo Lindong. Faced with the sumptuous meal prepared by Grandma Ding, she quickly adapted to the chopsticks and spoon and started eating happily.

However, although there was no need to feed the food himself, Huo Lindong would still pick out the bones from the fish and put them in Jiang Wu’s bowl. He would also put one or two spoonfuls of the food that he found delicious into Jiang Wu’s bowl.

“Delicious.”

Jiang Wu picked out the fish bones very slowly, and the fish meat she picked out was not as complete as Huo Lindong’s.

At this moment, she held a chopstick of fish maw that had been minced and placed it in Huo Lindong’s bowl, with her eyes wide open and an expression as if asking for credit.

If Jiang Wu had a tail right now, it would be wagging happily.

Huo Lindong didn’t dislike the poor-looking piece of fish at all. He put it into his mouth with satisfaction and said it was delicious.

He seemed to vaguely understand his father-in-law’s intentions.

“Ahem–”

Jiang Baozong coughed, with a bit of jealousy on his face. But if you looked carefully, you could see that the corners of his mouth were slightly raised at this moment.

When Jiang Wu heard his father’s cough, she thought that he was choking. She recalled the actions of his father and Grandma Ding when she choked while eating or drinking. She put down her chopsticks and carefully touched his father’s back to help him calm down.

In fact, Jiang Baozong’s original intention was to hope that his daughter could also pick up a piece of food for him. Now that his daughter happily helped him, he felt satisfied.

The return trip ended with a ‘friendly’ conversation between father-in-law and son-in-law and a perfect dinner.
