Chapter 774 What do you want to make up for it?
Su Chenyin caught the gaze of Su Jinghuai. That gaze seemed to carry real warmth, but it also made her feel inexplicably burning.
Having lacked fatherly love since childhood, she felt mixed emotions when she felt the father suddenly appear in her life.
There is an instinctive desire for fatherly love, but also a deep gap has been built up due to years of absence.
She subconsciously turned her head slightly, as if to avoid Su Jinghuai's piercing gaze.
She held the spiritual juice in her hand and sipped it, as if the spiritual juice could make her forget the troubles in her heart temporarily.
Jun Yijue, who was standing by, had been silently paying attention to Su Chenyin, and naturally noticed the subtle changes in her emotions.
He raised his hand gently and patted Su Chenyin's shoulder tenderly, giving her silent comfort.
"Yinyin, don't blame your uncle. He cares about you and loves you." Jun Yijue lowered his voice, his tone as gentle as water.
He was well aware of the entanglement and contradiction in Su Chenyin's heart, and he also understood that no matter how many words he said at this moment, they might seem pale and powerless.
But he still tried his best, even if it was just a little bit, to ease the suffocating tense atmosphere.
After hearing what Jun Yijue said, Su Jinghuai was still somewhat dissatisfied, but he could not get angry anymore.
He stood aside silently, his eyes revealing a hint of loss and helplessness.
He looked at Su Chenyin, wondering in his heart, what should he do to make his daughter accept him again and truly feel his belated love?
Hearing Jun Yijue's words, Su Chenyin's body trembled slightly.
Then she nodded slowly to show that she understood.
But despite this, she still kept her lips tightly closed and couldn't utter a word.
Because at this moment, her heart was already filled with all kinds of chaotic thoughts, and she didn't know how to respond at all.
After a while, she finally mustered up the courage, raised her head and looked at Su Jinghuai, and said, "Ajue and I have known each other for a long time. He is the person I love and my Taoist partner."
"He has always been by my side, helping me and protecting me, no matter when or where. He treats me very well, you can rest assured."
After that, she paused, and her tone suddenly changed, becoming sharp:
"I never thought that some people would be so cruel as to abandon their wives and children, leaving them alone and disappearing into thin air."
"You disappeared for so many years, but now you suddenly show up again, trying to interfere with my feelings and point fingers at me!"
Before she finished her words, a hint of sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. That smile was like a sharp dagger, piercing Su Jinghuai's heart.
At the same time, she glanced at Su Jinghuai with dissatisfaction, and her eyes seemed to say: What gives you the right?
Then, she quickly turned her head away, not looking at Su Jinghuai again, and drank the spiritual juice by herself.
When Su Jinghuai heard Su Chenyin's sarcastic and accusatory words, his face suddenly became extremely stiff.
A trace of unspeakable pain first flashed in the depths of his eyes, and then revealed deep regret.
His lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to explain himself.
But his throat seemed to be blocked by a huge rock. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't utter a single word.
Time seemed to have frozen at this moment...
Su Jinghuai never imagined that this would be the image of him in his daughter's mind.
He has indeed failed to fulfill his responsibilities as a father over the years. So what qualifications does he have to interfere or even criticize his daughter's feelings?
He lowered his head slightly, his hands clenched unconsciously, his heart filled with bitterness, loss, guilt and helplessness.
He knew that he had missed out on too much of his daughter's growth, and now wanted to make up for it, but he didn't know where to start.
After a moment's silence, Su Jinghuai slowly raised his head again and looked straight at Su Chenyin in front of him.
His eyes were filled with complex emotions, including regret, self-blame, and deep guilt.
"Yin'er..." Su Jinghuai spoke with difficulty, his voice sounding a little hoarse, with a strong sense of apology, "It was father who was wrong, I am sorry for you."
He paused, as if trying to calm himself down, and continued with a guilty tone:
"Father knows in his heart that he owes you too much over the years, and it will take a while to make up for it."
"Father admits that I, as a father, did not fulfill my responsibilities as a father. Not only that, I also made Ning'er and you two suffer so much."
"It is father who is sorry for Ning'er and for you two siblings. I have no right to dictate your emotional affairs."
His body seemed to have been drained of strength and was trembling slightly, revealing the extreme pain he was in.
But he still couldn't help clenching his teeth and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth: "But this brat..."
As soon as he said this, he realized that it might cause his daughter to be even more disgusted.
But now that things have come to this, there is no way to take them back, so he had no choice but to continue talking.
"Yin'er, your father doesn't mean to hinder your happiness, but... I'm just worried that you will get hurt! "
Su Jinghuai's voice became increasingly low, and the helplessness and guilt contained in it seemed to be overflowing.
He just silently stared at Su Chenyin's profile, which was as cold as an iceberg, and felt as if his heart was being pierced by thousands of fine needles, causing him excruciating pain.
He tried to get closer to Su Chenyin, but as soon as he took a step, he was met with Su Chenyin's icy gaze.
As a result, his raised foot just stopped in mid-air and could no longer move forward at all.
Su Chenyin ignored his father's actions and just snorted coldly from his nose.
She said in an extremely indifferent tone: "Hurt? Haha, over the years, who is the person who really hurt me? Don't you know it in your heart?"
Hearing his daughter's words, Su Jinghuai's body trembled violently, and he stood there as if struck by lightning.
Coming back to his senses, he said with trembling lips: "Yin'er, father knows that no matter what I say now, it will be difficult to undo the mistakes I made in the past."
"But please believe me, father. I sincerely hope that you can give me a chance so that I can slowly make it up to you, okay?"
"As for this kid, you will have a long time to spend together in the future, and your father will definitely find a suitable opportunity to get to know his character."
At the end of his words, Su Jinghuai's eyes were full of pleading.
His voice became lower and lower, and his tone was almost pleading.
It's just like a child who has made a big mistake and is begging for forgiveness and understanding from his parents.
After all, his daughter is still young, and he is not mentally prepared for her to have a Taoist partner so early.
But he also understood that the current situation did not allow him to interfere excessively.
My daughter has grown up and has her own opinions and the right to make decisions.
If he interferes any more or says one more word, his precious daughter might ignore him even more.
After hearing this, Su Chenyin's body trembled slightly, but she still stubbornly refused to turn around and look at him.
"Make up for it?" She snorted coldly, her tone full of doubt and disdain. "Then tell me, what do you want to make up for it?"
"Over the years, all the sufferings that my mother has gone through, as well as the hardships that my brother and I have endured, can they all be resolved with just a simple word of 'make amends' from you?"
