Chapter Text
Jiang Fengmian, wether he should say it in more angst way, have never been a good person.
By good, I mean in relationships. He does donate a lot of money in charity, but in person, he is just horrible.
At the 60's he finally realised it and started working out. The way he noticed his mistakes, well kinda weird to say. The day his 20 year old son brought a 40 year old man home introducing him as his boyfriend. Is when he realised that maybe the problem is him.
His 2 sons are gay, well one of them not his but adopted, but are gay. The youngest does call himself bi leaning more towards gay. He doesn't know what to say about that.
But anyway, it was never too late to redo your mistakes. He realised it more sooner when his own daughter, hide her pregnancy because of negativity in their house.
Yu Ziyuan, his beautiful wife, for the first time ever in his life cried out to him, "Where did we went wrong?"
And as quoted by Wen Ruohan, his son's ex-bf (thank the lord above he is ex), "Everywhere."
But it wasn't good as it came from Wen Rouhan considering how his own children turned out.
Anyway, back to the story, it's been three years already, Fengmian started getting therapy along with his wife. And mended a lot of things. Such as his wife trust issues towards him, Ziyuan always doubted Fengmian that Wei Wúxiàn, their adopted son, is actually his seed from Cangse Sanren, WuXian's mother.
The trust issues came from her own childhood trauma, where she saw her own father cheating on her mother. Fengmian had hard time trying his best to make her believe that Wei Wuxian can never be his son, Wei Changze is his best friend, and he may have liked Cangse Sanren a little bit, but it was never in sexually.
For total of two years went by trying to mend the relationship between husband and wife, with a series of lashing out, breaking dishes and crying . They finally decided to start over, and this time letting their own secrets known to each other.
The next one year went by saying the sorties to their daughter. It didn't take too much time but it wasn't easy either. Jiang Yanli is too mature then her age, as she had to. Parents who refuse to take consequence of their own action.
She understood her own parts, and even though she didn't forgive them right away, she did tried her own effort to show she is supportive of whatever they are doing.
Everything was good, Yu ziyuan said sorry to Wei wuxian for always picking him for anything. And as always Wuxian would make jokes on the things he can't handle. It's mostly because of his own way of coping things up. His life in the street and then the mental abuse from Yu ziyuan made him like that. After leaving the Jiang family, he himself took therapy session and that's how he met his boyfriend / soon-to-be-husband, Lan Wangji. [No he wasn't the therapist.]
Jiang cheng, the youngest kid, when he heard about that his parents are getting therapy, he only rolled his eyes. It's not a big thing for him as he himself goes for therapy. It's just, it's unbelievable for him. That is why he distant himself from them. Well after the way his parents reacted to his dating life, he was convinced he had to leave anyway.
He went to live at an apartment, but well his followed him. He went to live at his friend's, his father followed. Dang! He even moved overseas and his father stalked him there trying to talk to him.
He doesn't really wants to talk anything anyway, there's nothing to say.
"Why can't you just leave me dad!?" Jiang Cheng almost shouted. If he wasn't outside he would have shouted more loudly.
The people around them looked.
"I just wanna talk to you, son." Jiang Fengmian said completely ignoring the people around them.
"Ugh! Talk talk talk! There's nothing to talk about!"
"But I need to!"
"Okay, so what it is!? Say it!"
"....I-I am sorry."
Jiang Cheng looked at his father's face and sighed, "Do you really think that a sorry can make me forgive."
It really can't, it can't reverse the damage that he did to his son.
"Give me a chance, Let's go home." Jiang fengmian still tried, giving a small smile.
"I don't have a home, dad." Jiang Cheng's voice most cracked.
Is it late? Or can he really start again?
