Chapter 1257 601: Reunion_3

"It's not like that, Mr. Xu, I don't blame you, I know that. It's just... I haven't returned to Gusu for many years, and I don't know how to face you. When I returned to Gusu last year, I asked Old Qian about your news, knowing that you were living in a nursing home, I gave Old Qian 600 yuan, asking him to bring you some things when he visited the nursing home."

Wang Gen Sheng became anxious and blurted out the truth, as he wasn't good at lying.

Mr. Xu smiled and led the way.

An Youyou, curious and determined, walked up to Wang Gen Sheng and whispered, "Uncle Wang, why haven't you come to Gusu to see Little Ninth all these years?"

Wang Gen Sheng: ...

What other reason could there be? It's the anxiety of returning home.

Mr. Xu led everyone back to his room, as he had said, he had prepared three pots of tea and chairs in advance.

Mr. Xu poured tea for everyone, Qin Huai and the others obediently sat down.

"Yesterday when Xiao Gong came to find me and told me about this, I felt both surprised and unsurprised."

"Back then... before Little Nuo died, he told me he was a spirit, he would reincarnate, and would come back to find me if he remembered. I didn't really believe it. This child has always been like this, talking without restraint, saying all sorts of things. I thought he was trying, before he died, to comfort me in a way he thought was clever, so I wouldn't be so sad."

"To comfort me, he even dragged Xu Mo into it."

"Before I could ask Xu Mo, the foolish child committed suicide."

Hearing Mr. Xu speak up to this point, Shi Dadan bowed his head in shame, apologizing with the same childish demeanor as Wang Gen Sheng: "Director, I'm sorry."

"You don't need to apologize, you are the most innocent one, you even lost your life in this."

"At first, I held some resentment towards Little Wang. I thought Little Nuo died because of Little Wang's report, although I couldn't blame Little Wang, it was hard for me not to resent him in my heart."

"But after the truth was uncovered... this matter had nothing to do with Little Wang, I even felt like I was the one who killed Little Nuo. I didn't know who to blame or hate, but the resentment in my heart had no place to go, so I could only care for Little Wang while also promoting you, yet distancing myself from you, not wanting too much contact."

"Later on, I started to hope what Little Nuo said was true, that there really were spirits in this world, and I hoped my son could come to see me after reincarnation."

"I've lived with this hope until today."

"Last time when you all came to see me, I recognized Xu Mo at first glance." Mr. Xu smiled, looking at Shi Dadan, "You haven't changed at all, when you're silent and feeling guilty, you don't even dare look at me. Every time Little Nuo brought you to our house for a meal, you were the big guy, shrinking in the back with your head down, silently eating faster than anyone."

"Even last time at the nursing home, the big guy was shrinking behind Xiao Qin and Youyou, during lunch you ate seven servings, terrifying the staff at the cafeteria."

Shi Dadan: ...

Shi Dadan didn't know what to say, he could only look up and give a simple smile.

"Did you recognize me last time, Little Ninth?" An Youyou asked eagerly.

Mr. Xu nodded: "My son and Xu Mo are spirits, it's no surprise that my eldest would be like a spirit too."

"Then can you call me boss like Little Seven?" An Youyou's eyes shone with excitement about being boss again.

Mr. Xu: ...

Mr. Xu nodded, restrained his smile, and seriously said: "Boss."
