Chapter 996: Peerless Gentleman (8)

"Dad, you’re drunk. Let’s go home." Shu Jiao said, casting a glance at Ruan Jianguo, signaling him to come up and help support Old Shu. But Old Shu pushed her hand away, his eyes unexpectedly turning red.
Looking at her, he said, "Xiaojiao, Dad is sorry."
"It’s Dad who’s useless. Otherwise, how could you have suffered so much over all these years? You’re even smarter than your siblings. It was Dad who held you back from going to university. Xiaojiao..." As he spoke, Old Shu’s voice became choked with emotion.
Old Shu had always been a man with a stern expression, at least in the eyes of the three Shu siblings.

And Shu Jiao had been so outstanding since she was young. If it hadn’t been for him back then, how could she have spent so many years in the countryside, hastily married off, and even missed the chance to go to university? Even though she was happy now, Old Shu’s guilt had never lessened.
He only held on to his pride and didn’t show even the slightest weakness in front of others, which made it seem as though there was nothing wrong. Toward Ruan Jianguo, he just occasionally gave him some stern lessons.
