"I'm asking you because I want to see if you realize that the most important thing to do in this matter is to apologize to Nian Nian. It seems that I'm thinking too much. You don't have her in your heart and haven't thought about apologizing at all."
Old Master Jiang looked lethargic.
Jiang Zongnan bowed his head guiltily like he wanted to say something. "Dad, I…"
"There's no need to say more." Old Master Jiang raised his hand with a calm expression. "If an apology isn't sincere, there's no need to force it. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink!"
"Master Nie is right, it's my fault. In the beginning, I shouldn't have held unrealistic thoughts to think that you, like me, sincerely want to make up for the blood and kinship that Nian Nian has lost over the years…"
Silence ensued.
Jiang Zongnan became more and more at a loss. He didn't know where to put his hands, and he couldn't face his old father.
