After hearing Si Chengye's story, Chen Zhi felt a bit angry too. It turned out her mother had endured such painful experiences when she was young.
However, her father-in-law was also having a tough time. He had believed her mother was dead all these years and lived in self-reproach and agony, even planning to die with her.
No wonder her father-in-law was so despairing about life before. It was all for the sake of her mother.
Anyway, now was not the time to dwell on who was right or wrong. Her mother still had feelings for her father-in-law, and since she did, she should seize the present. Otherwise, time would fly by, and there would be no chance left.
Chen Zhi spoke up, "Dad, I don't know why my mom won't accept you. You could ask her what it would take for her to be willing to accept you."
