*The old car also wants to race on the highway: It is a metaphorical expression that conveys the idea of someone or something that is old or outdated still wanting to perform at a high level or keep up with modern standards. It refers to Old Mr. Gu who, despite his age and physical limitations, still has ambitions and wants to achieve things that might be more challenging for someone of his years.  

Old Mr. Gu picked up a dumpling with his chopsticks, and took a bite. 

As soon as he bit it, his eyes immediately lit up. He devoured it in a few quick bites and eagerly picked up the second one. 

This time, he slowed down, as he chewed and swallowed slowly, savoring each bite. 

As he ate, his eyes began to redden, and he quickly turned his head away, not wanting to lose his composure in front of his son. 

“It tastes better than what your wife made, right?” 

Gu Ye pretended not to see it and deliberately teased him. 

Old Mr. Gu swallowed the dumpling, calmed his emotions and scolded with a smile, “No respect for your elders! My wife is your mother.” 

“She’s Gu Jiefang’s mother, not mine.” 

Gu Ye retorted softly.

Old Mr. Gu sighed. Lin Yulan had indeed made mistakes, and he was partly to blame too. 

He had been too busy with work and neglected his children, causing Gu Ye to suffer a lot of hardship when he was a child. The emotional scars had never fully healed until now. 

“Your mother had her own difficulties. She knows that she was wrong now, she wants to make it up to you. Don’t be so cold-hearted, and keep acting like that. Your mother feels sad.” 

Old Mr. Gu advised, trying to untie the knot in his son’s heart. 

Gu Ye snorted lightly and sneered, “Where were you when I was feeling sad? Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Hurry up and finish your dumplings, then we will go see the doctor.” 

He didn’t want to argue with his father, especially since the old man was already sick. 

Old Mr. Gu sighed again without further persuasion and continued to eat the dumplings. 

In fact, he had already had breakfast, but he still finished the whole lunch box. 

The dumplings filled with scallions and meat brought back memories of the past, and they tasted so delicious that he could have eaten another lunch box. 

He even finished the chili sauce, which tasted very authentic and exceptionally well-made. 

Despite being a simple condiment, not many could make it this well. 

His daughter-in-law’s chili sauce was so good that he couldn’t stop eating it. 

He even thought about mixing it with a bowl of noodles and eating it with garlic, it would be absolutely delicious. 

“It’s delicious, right?” Gu Ye asked with a smile.  

“Yes, does your wife make noodles too?” 

Old Mr. Gu asked directly. 

He had been craving noodles for a long time, but the noodles in the south weren’t to his liking. 

Lin Yulan didn’t know how to make northern style noodles, and it had been years since he had a good bowl of noodles. 

Gu Ye became even more proud. 

“Let me tell you, my wife’s handmade noodles are chewy and delicious. I can eat a huge bowl in one meal, it is way much better than any restaurant.” 

Old Mr. Gu was satisfied and decisively said, “Then we will have lunch at your house. Let’s go, let’s go see the doctor!”  

This little rascal had rarely done anything to please him since he was young, but he had certainly married a good wife, very well indeed. 

“Chew on these tea leaves, my wife said they will help to get rid of bad breath, or else you will suffocate the doctor.” 

Gu Ye took out the tea leaves, and the old man chewed them until they were thin and hard to swallow. 

At first, it was bitter, but then a sweet aftertaste followed. 

He looked at Gu Ye with a complicated look. 

From the moment they met, every sentence out of his son’s mouth would always include the words ‘my wife’. 

While he was glad that the couple had a good relationship, his son’s subservient attitude toward his wife was a bit too much for the old man to handle. 

Such a grown man, as timid as a eunuch. 

This illness must be cured! 

Even if he would only last for one minute, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, it was much better than being a eunuch. 

“I will register.” 

Entering the lobby, Gu Ye was about to register when he was stopped by the old man.  

“No need, I have already made an appointment with the doctor.” 

Gu Ye’s heart sank, and a sour feeling welled up inside him. 

He couldn’t help but ask, “What exactly is wrong with you?”
