Faced with Ling Lai's father's implicit inquiry, Xiao Zheng didn't show much expression. I just weighed the relationship between father and daughter in my heart.
In a normal family, Xiao Zheng would not doubt the serious crisis of trust between a father and his daughter. But Prince Ling Lai Nei is no ordinary daughter, and Ling Lai's father is no ordinary father either...
In fact, for the sake of power and a better chance of climbing up the ladder, Prince Ling Lainei personally massacred Xiao Zheng's biological mother in front of him. Who can guarantee that she has established a good relationship with her father
On the contrary - does Ling Lai's father really regard his daughter as a treasure
Problems that should have arisen in ordinary families have become difficult to solve in this deep palace compound.
"I am just a friend of His Highness the Prince and will not participate in her actions." Xiao Zheng politely rejected Ling Lai's father's question.
When Ling Lai's father heard this, he smiled bitterly. Said: "I know you doubt my starting point. But on the other hand, sooner or later, you will also become a father."
He did not express his position directly, but gave examples to prove it.
Xiao Zheng shrugged and said, "I have seen kind and kind fathers, and I have also seen fierce and cruel fathers. We cannot generalize."
Ling Lai's father was startled, then nodded and said, "Mr. Xiao is right. Indeed, not all fathers are dedicated."
After a pause, Ling Lai's father lit a cigarette, and a look of meditation appeared on his handsome face: "I haven't done anything to help her in these years. I have also made her suffer a lot of grievances. She is where she is today, all because of her Her own abilities. As a father, I should have helped pave the way for her. But -"
Smiling, Ling Lai's father had a look of self-deprecation on his face: "Mr. Xiao, whether it is to be a husband or a father. If we have the ability, we try to make ourselves as strong as possible. Incompetence will only bring disaster to the family."
Xiao Zheng listened quietly to Ling Lai's father's narration and felt the same way.
His hard work in the past few years is, to some extent, for the people around him. Whether it's wives, friends, or women who are disconnected. Only if he is strong enough can he defend their peaceful and happy life.
Men should not just give blessings to women, but more importantly, actions. It is the arrogance that turns anger into beauty. But being crazy requires enough capital. An ordinary man's anger often brings endless trouble and torture. Only the anger of the strong can cover the sky with one hand.
Lin Laoyao did it.
Xiao Zheng also hopes that one day in the future, he can do it.
Perhaps it was Ling Lai's father's words that aroused the feelings in Xiao Zheng's heart. He invited Ling Lai's father to sit down and took a sip of tea: "Do you know His Highness the Prince?"
"I don't know." Ling Lai's father shook his head, took out his cigarette case and handed Xiao Zheng a cigarette.
"Thank you." Xiao Zheng took the cigarette but did not light it. Just said slowly. "I don't know His Royal Highness either. But based on my contacts in the past few years, she is a strong woman who is independent and extremely smart. She knows what she needs, and she will be responsible for every decision she makes. .”
Ling Lai's father nodded and said: "Before this, I thought so too. But -"
"Huh?" Xiao Zheng frowned slightly. Some unexpected information was captured from Ling Lai's father's words.
It would be nonsense to say that Ling Lai's father had no idea what Prince Ling Lainei was doing. But how deep does he know it, and whether he has had an in-depth conversation with Prince Ling Lainei. That's unknown.
But since Ling Lai's father came to see him today, something unexpected must have happened in the morning. Otherwise, Ling Lai's father would not come to see him alone.
"She gave up the contest with Prince Tianxiong." Ling Lai's father said with a frown. "This conflicts with her past attitude."
Xiao Zheng pursed his lips and said, "Maybe His Highness the Prince has other plans."
"But she criticized Prince Tianxiong in person at the conference table." Ling Lai's father said seriously. "It means I won't give up."
really-
Ling Lai's father was looking for him not only because Prince Ling Lai gave up his resistance. Also because she made an uncharacteristically strong statement.
This is probably what worries Ling Lai's father the most, right
give up. It can be retreat to advance. But when he turned against Prince Tianxiong in public, he might have lost his mind. Want to fight to the death with him!
As a father, perhaps what Ling Lai's father is most concerned about is not whether Prince Ling Lainei can successfully ascend the throne. But her safety, her future happy life.
On the other hand, Xiao Zheng was also quite curious as to why Prince Ling Lainei turned against Prince Tianxiong in public. Is it to anger Prince Tianxiong so that he can take action quickly after he ascends the throne
If so, she can definitely use more effective ways. Rather than rebel in public. To a certain extent, this will also hurt her own image, and may even make outsiders disappointed in her.
This is not a wise move...
It's no wonder that Ling Lai's father hurriedly came to him to inquire about the news. It seems that after receiving the news, I couldn’t sit still...
"Perhaps the current situation makes His Royal Highness a little dissatisfied. Or maybe there is an emotional problem." Xiao Zheng explained for Prince Ling Lainei. "You don't have to worry too much. I believe His Highness the Prince will handle it well."
"I believe that with Mr. Xiao's help, she will handle it better." Ling Lai's father said meaningfully.
Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "I'm just a guest..."
Ling Lai's father smiled, pursed his lips and said, "Mr. Xiao. She has never trusted anyone. Including me. But her trust in you goes beyond her way of doing things. In these years, you are the first one who can truly The man who influenced her decisions.”
"It's all up to you..."
Before Ling Lai's father left, he left these words. But it put a lot of pressure on Xiao Zheng.
Can I influence Prince Ling Lainei's decision
Are you kidding me
Xiao Zheng shook his head, but saw Yingxiang standing not far away looking timidly at him. He couldn't help but laugh and said: "What's wrong?"
"His Royal Highness has been upstairs and hasn't come down yet..." Yingxiang said nervously. "Did Sir and His Highness have a fight?"
"How could I be so bold?" Xiao Zheng said with a bitter smile. "Do you think His Highness is angry because of me?"
Although Yingxiang was nervous, she still expressed what she was thinking: "Maybe sir, he was not careful..."
Xiao Zheng suddenly straightened his face and said seriously: "If you want to know the answer, you might as well go upstairs and ask His Highness the Prince."
"I don't dare..." Yingxiang said fearfully. "We dare not disturb Her Highness when she is resting."
"I see conspiracy in your eyes." Xiao Zheng glared at Yingxiang.
these two days of contact. He felt that Yingxiang was a nice person and not as showy as some maids. She is a simple and kind-hearted girl.
Yingxiang hurriedly explained: "Sir, the current situation is chaotic recently. I hope His Royal Highness can cheer up..."
"And the only one who can cheer up His Royal Highness is you."
