Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets

Chapter 1304: Chapter 1304: Already Siding With Him?

"Mm-hmm, if I get bullied, I’ll definitely ask Dad for help."

Yuan Yu echoed Mr. Yuan’s words.

"You silly girl, if you really get bullied, wouldn’t you just hide and cry?" Mr. Yuan glanced at her, knowing full well his daughter’s personality.

"Uh..."

Yuan Yu touched her nose, imagining what it would be like to be bullied by Tang Jun. She thought, maybe she really would hide and cry, and then hide far away, so he’d never find her again?

"Alright, you’ve finally chosen Tang Jun, even if I’m not happy about it, I’m still happy."

Mr. Yuan gazed sentimentally at his daughter. When his wife left, he was devastated. In the end, it was his tiny daughter that gave him hope in life. Now, his daughter has grown up, found someone she loves, and is getting married.

At the time, Mr. Yuan was worried about Yuan Yu and Tang Jun, and later, Xu Qinglang’s arrival made him even more anxious, afraid Yuan Yu would impulsively marry someone she didn’t love. Now, Yuan Yu and Tang Jun have finally come to a happy ending, even if he hates not being able to care for his daughter for life. But Mr. Yuan knows that the one who can be by Yuan Yu’s side is Tang Jun, not him.

"Xiao Yu."

With countless words, Mr. Yuan didn’t know how to start, silently rubbing his eyes, saying, "There’s something in my eye."

"Dad."

Yuan Yu stood up, opened her arms, and hugged Mr. Yuan’s arm, nestling against his shoulder, saying, "Dad, even if I get married, I’ll still be your daughter, and I’ll come back often to see you."

"You dare not come back, see if I don’t break... Tang Jun’s leg."

Mr. Yuan glared at her displeasedly. He couldn’t bear to touch his daughter’s leg, but his son-in-law...

"Dad, would you really?"

Yuan Yu looked up, with shimmering tears in her eyes.

Mr. Yuan said with a voice full of jealousy, "You haven’t even married yet, and you’re already defending him."

"My dad is the best dad in the world, surely he wouldn’t do such a thing. But Dad, you’re the one making me worry. You’ve got a potbelly now, and you can’t drink alcohol, you know?"

Yuan Yu repeatedly reminded Mr. Yuan. Nowadays, the careworn Mr. Yuan, along with the banquets he attended, has gained weight. His annual health check-up is still normal, but if he continues to drink, especially too much, it would affect his health.

"You’ve locked away all the alcohol. Where can I drink?"

Mr. Yuan’s gaze wandered. Yuan Yu and Mr. Yuan argued about drinking, completely breaking the previously warm father-daughter scene.

They parted unhappily.

Yuan Yu’s joy over being with Tang Jun turned into frustration.

She was only trying to care for him; why couldn’t Mr. Yuan understand her?

She only has this one relative left.

Yuan Yu felt increasingly uncomfortable the more she thought.

Meanwhile, Mr. Yuan realized his mistake. His daughter was upset because she cared for him, worried about him, but he couldn’t help himself.

Whenever he missed Mommy Yu, he just wanted a little drink. He had no other hobbies, just this little pleasure, but his daughter wouldn’t allow even that.

Mr. Yuan paced back and forth in the living room several times, contemplating his daughter retreating to her room, possibly crying inside.

Thinking this, Mr. Yuan couldn’t sit still, promptly stepping upstairs. He leaned against the door, trying to hear what was happening inside.

His tall and somewhat heavy frame unintentionally pushed the door open...

On the bed, Yuan Yu was crying into her pillow. Seeing Mr. Yuan push the door open, Yuan Yu turned around, pursed her lips, saying nothing.

"Xiao Yu, it’s Dad’s fault. Dad won’t drink anymore, okay?"

Mr. Yuan admitted his mistake to Yuan Yu. Just as she said, his health wasn’t suited for drinking, but he just couldn’t resist.

"Dad, I’m not in charge; I’m the younger generation, you’re the elder."

Yuan Yu sat up against the bed, pouting, visibly unhappy.

"Xiao Yu, stop crying, it’s the Tang Family coming tomorrow. They’ll think your dad is bullying you."

Mr. Yuan looked at his daughter’s eyes, red and swollen like walnuts, feeling a pang of heartache.

"It’s all Dad’s fault. I shouldn’t drink knowing I can’t, you’re right to be angry."

"Dad shouldn’t have been stern with you."

Mr. Yuan hurriedly apologized.

Through tears, Yuan Yu looked at him, sobbing, "You really won’t drink anymore? Won’t overdrink when your health can’t handle it?"

"No."

Mr. Yuan swore to the sky. Only then did Yuan Yu smile again, happily hugging Mr. Yuan’s arm, saying, "Dad, I was wrong too; I should’ve spoken to you properly."

...

The next day, Yuan Yu woke up early. She had taken a day off from the hospital. At home, she tried on several outfits, but none seemed satisfactory. And her eyes, tired from yesterday, appeared swollen and lackluster today.

Ahhh...

Yuan Yu looked at herself in the mirror, feeling a urge to call Tang Jun and postpone his visit.

But Tang Jun had already texted her in the morning, saying he’d come over today.

Even if Yuan Yu wanted to back out, it wasn’t an option.

Mr. Yuan was also tidying himself. The house was clean, everything prepared, lacking nothing.

The Tang Family, just like the Yuan Family, was busy. Tang Jun wore a formal suit, tailored to fit him perfectly, accentuating his tall, handsome figure.

"How’s this, Sis? Does it look okay on me?"

Tang Jun adjusted his hair, which had been well-groomed, enhancing his spirit.

"Looks great."

Tang Yue praised him, and this was no idle compliment. Tang Jun was already sunny and handsome, even more so after sprucing up.

Lian Qingyang looked him up and down, finally saying, "Though not quite my level, today you’re the main attraction, you’re the most handsome."

Tang Jun: "..."

"Sis-in-law, can’t you rein him in? Is there anything more narcissistic?" Tang Jun couldn’t help but complain to Jin Yan beside him.

Jin Yan nodded, saying, "Xiao Jun, I think you’re right; he’s too narcissistic."

"Honey, am I not the most handsome in your eyes?" Lian Qingyang looked at Jin Yan with a pout.

Jin Yan: "..."

"You both came from the same womb, is it really meaningful to compare? One is about to be a father, the other is getting married, you can’t still be children, right?" Tang Yue watched helplessly. Whenever they met, they had to bicker, never letting go when it came to words!

Even though the other had problems, they were all anxious, but as soon as they met, there had to be a squabble.
