Chapter 220 - 34 Bitterness_2
Han Kuang sighed; he didn’t dislike his second son because of Liu Yuzhi. Though not as much as he cared for his eldest son and daughter, he still gave his fatherly care to his son. It wasn’t because of the "bloodline nature" that Liu Yuzhi believed in, but because the boy resembled his maternal grandfather too much.
—Upright, selfless, and always grateful.
That was also why he could never bring himself to like Li Yuzhi. She may resemble Liu Xing in appearance, but her temperament bore no similarity to her father’s whatsoever.
Being a man of traditional values, especially since Liu Xing had once saved Gu Fangwei by trading his life for hers, Han Kuang was deeply grateful to Liu Xing. Had it not been for Liu Yuzhi’s adamant refusal, he had planned to let Shouyi take the Liu surname to continue the Liu family lineage.
He reached out and patted Han Shouyi’s back, "This is not your fault." Of all involved, the second son was probably the most innocent.
Han Shouyi’s eyes reddened, nearly breaking into tears. With his mother and wife committing such acts, he felt both deeply ashamed and afraid that his father would also detest him and not acknowledge him as his son.
Now seeing his father’s unchanged attitude towards him, he felt as if a great burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
And it also quietly strengthened the resolve in his heart.
