Chapter 388: 384. The Changes in the Siblings (Please subscribe, monthly tickets!)

Zhang Ran spoke very plainly, without using any flowery language, nor did he use a passionate tone; it seemed that such matters were truly very ordinary in his eyes.

But to the ears of Zhang Sicheng and Zhang Siyan, it was not the same thing at all.

They could fully imagine the danger of that time!

Although they had not experienced that chaotic era, and had never personally lived through it, they could fully imagine it.

They could imagine what their father had gone through and how many dangers he had encountered in order to struggle and build this family business.

"So, in the final analysis, the death of Brother Lotnikov was actually at my hands, not Dayong's. I hope you can be clear about this point; the true root cause does not lie with Dayong," Zhang Ran said in a deep voice.

Zhang Sicheng understood what Zhang Ran meant, took a deep breath, and said, "Dad, I have never blamed He Shu. Although I didn't know what happened before, I know that He Shu is actually our family."

Zhang Siyan nodded along; she felt the same way.

Hearing Zhang Sicheng's words and looking at his earnest eyes, Zhang Ran suddenly smiled.

The thing he was most satisfied with regarding the Zhang Sicheng siblings was their values!

Although, due to their upbringing, they might not have a grand vision or a heart to save the world.

But they had very correct values and would not consider problems solely from their own perspective.

This was actually enough!

That night, Zhang Ran chatted a lot with Zhang Sicheng and the others about family matters and everything else, talking until two o'clock in the morning before finishing.

This time, Zhang Ran did it both to enlighten Zhang Sicheng and to give them a reminder so they would have a bottom line in their hearts.

Lying in bed, although it was already the early morning, Zhang Sicheng still couldn't sleep.

"Wife, do you think I'm too useless?" Zhang Sicheng suddenly said.

Liu Lu was taken aback, "Why do you say that?"

"Dad definitely still has some things he didn't say. I know he doesn't want to hide things from us, but we have no way to help him right now. Even if we knew, it would just be looking for trouble," Zhang Sicheng's voice was a bit low.

In front of his own wife, Zhang Sicheng was more open than he was in front of Zhang Ran, and he showed the softest, most fragile part of his heart.

Although Zhang Ran had explained the cause and effect of this incident and said that they would encounter some things in the future.

But Zhang Sicheng could feel that there were still many things Zhang Ran had not told them.

Just like the Yaotian Pharmaceutical and Fengli Group that were already known, Zhang Ran had not detailed the inside story to them.

In the past, Zhang Sicheng didn't care much and didn't want to ask too much; he felt it didn't have much meaning.

If his father wanted to say it, he would; if he didn't want to, that was fine.

But now Zhang Sicheng didn't think so. Having experienced such an event, he knew one thing: his father's building of this family business was not easy at all.

He didn't know how many dangers and how much scheming he had experienced along the way.

And because of the matter of the Goddess of Destiny, Zhang Ran's originally stable situation had once again become unpredictable.

Zhang Ran had to bear all these things by himself now, while he, as a son, only knew how to enjoy the benefits brought by his father, yet he couldn't help his father shoulder any responsibilities at all.

He had even become a burden to his father.

For the first time, Zhang Sicheng felt a trace of guilt!

During this period, although he felt grateful in his heart for his father's return, which made his family happier and allowed him to reach the peak of his life.

Even his wife's family had been taken care of because of his father's return.

Zhang Sicheng had accepted all of this with peace of mind before.

Previously, he watched his father just picking up and dropping off the children at school every day, or gathering with a group of old friends, like Prince Haiman.

But the things he encountered today made him understand that his father was actually not relaxed, and might even be very tired.

He didn't know the specifics of the Yaotian Pharmaceutical matter, but he understood that taking down a shareholder and boss like Tian Yaohui, who had controlled Yaotian Pharmaceutical for over thirty years, was definitely not as easy as it looked.

There might even be many secrets and pressures involved that he didn't know about.

But Zhang Ran had never shown any of this, let alone said the word "tired" in front of them.

He looked relaxed every day, bringing the most relaxed mood to them.

Liu Lu fell silent; she actually thought of these things at this moment too, "Don't overthink it. Dad has his own plans, and you are working very hard now. We don't have the ability to help Dad now, but one day we will be able to."

Hearing his wife's comfort, Zhang Sicheng smiled reluctantly; he estimated that Liu Lu couldn't even convince herself with that statement.

What did it mean that Dad had his own plans?

It was actually just to keep him, Zhang Sicheng, from bearing too much pressure.

Thinking about it carefully now, from the very beginning, Zhang Ran had started to cultivate him and his sister step by step, and even had the intention to cultivate Liu Lu.

But his father had never put any pressure on them; originally, Zhang Sicheng thought there was no pressure at all.

Now he knew that all the pressure had been carried by his father alone, and they were just living a relaxed life under the world their father had held up.

Zhang Sicheng gently hugged Liu Lu, his eyes quietly looking at the wall, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this moment, it wasn't just Zhang Sicheng who was thinking about things; Zhang Siyan was the same, and even Qian Li hadn't fallen asleep.

Everyone who had experienced this incident was thinking about their own matters.

The next day, everyone got up very late; they didn't get up until it was time for lunch.

After finishing his meal, Zhang Sicheng pulled Meng Mingxuan and Tu Yu along to find Nikolayev.

And Zhang Siyan and Qian Li went directly to find Huo Zhiyuan.

Having experienced this incident, they all had some changes.

At the very least, they knew one thing: their Zhang Family was actually not as stable as it appeared.

The reason they felt it was stable and peaceful before was because their father was carrying the burden in front.

If they wanted to help their father reduce some pressure, they needed to grow up quickly.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Ran felt some joy in his heart, but also some worry.

What he was happy about was that his children had started to work hard and were developing in the direction he expected.

What he was worried about was whether this would put too much pressure on them.

Would this make them feel filled with a sense of insecurity?

This is perhaps the mindset of being a parent; the growth of one's children indeed makes parents feel happy, but at the same time, they also feel worried about the obstacles and pressures they encounter on their path of growth.

But Zhang Ran also knew that these were all things they needed to experience, so he could only watch silently and reach out to help them when necessary.
