Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets novel Chapter 1280

Chapter 1280: Chapter 1280: So Obedient?

"I’m getting old too." Mr. Meng’s health has been inconsistent over the years, sometimes good, sometimes bad. Even Mr. Meng himself knows that his body probably won’t hold on for many more years.

"Grandpa, you’re not old."

Meng Yanzhi accompanied Mr. Meng for breakfast, and then took a walk with him in the courtyard.

Mr. Meng walked slowly, leaning on his cane, taking one step at a time.

Mr. Meng asked, "Yanzhi, where have you been these days? Why haven’t you returned home?" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Mr. Meng sat down on a nearby lounge chair, staring intensely at him, not giving him any chance to retreat.

Some things, if left unsaid, don’t mean they don’t exist.

Meng Yanzhi was silent for a while before saying, "Grandpa, these years..." He paused before continuing, "I’ve started a small business myself, so after leaving, I’ve been busy at the company and haven’t been able to come home to see you."

"In July, I know." Although Mr. Meng’s health isn’t good, it doesn’t mean he’s unaware of what’s going on in the world. He praised, "It’s done well; the company is stable and developing nicely, with limitless future prospects."

"Grandpa, this is the first time you’ve praised me." Meng Yanzhi looked deeply at Mr. Meng. Since childhood, though Mr. Meng doted on him, he never praised him because Meng Yanzhi was always causing trouble and never did anything that made Mr. Meng proud.

"It means our Yanzhi has grown up and become capable." Mr. Meng looked at Meng Yanzhi with satisfaction and said, "I can understand your past mistakes; everyone was young once. The problems you faced are ones many encounter. Now, it’s all in the past; we should move forward."

Mr. Meng’s words were a reminder to Meng Yanzhi that past events have passed, and it’s time to let them go.

"I’ve already called your dad and told him. You probably didn’t know, did you? Your dad... found his wife again, and he’s found his biological son, who is your older brother." Mr. Meng originally wanted to keep it a secret, but after thinking about it, he realized Meng Yanzhi might already know, so there was no point hiding it.

It’s better to lay it out openly.

"Si Yu, right?" Meng Yanzhi had quietly looked at him upon arriving.

"Yes." Mr. Meng asked, "Have you seen him?"

"Didn’t you already know him?"

Meng Yanzhi lowered his eyes and said, "He used to be the child you always compared to me, the one I should learn from. Now..."

Meng Yanzhi raised his head again, smiling, "Now he has become my brother, a descendant of the Meng Family. Grandpa should be happy for having such a proud grandson, unlike me, who only brought shame. Grandpa, I was wrong; I was immature. Can you forgive me?"

Meng Yanzhi suddenly knelt in front of Mr. Meng, sincerely and genuinely said, "I was immature before and did many things that saddened you. Grandpa, please forgive me."

His actions surprised Mr. Meng somewhat. Looking at this familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face, scenes of his childhood flashed before Mr. Meng’s eyes.

"Yanzhi, as long as you’re sincerely changed, you’ll always be my good grandson. What you should seek is not my forgiveness, but the forgiveness of the families affected, seek forgiveness from your brother and sister-in-law." Mr. Meng said earnestly, "In a few days, let’s find some time for us as a family to get together with your brother and sister-in-law..."

Mr. Meng paused and said, "Your brother and sister-in-law are good people, kind and generous. As long as you’re sincere in your apology, they will forgive you. Also, Zaozao and Chenchen, those two kids, are the most adorable."

Talking about the two children made Mr. Meng’s face gentler. He said, "There are many photos of them in the living room, did you see them?"

"I saw them, very cute." Meng Yanzhi nodded. Upon returning home, he saw the framed photos of Zaozao and Chenchen; the brother and sister are very cute and caught his eye.
