At five o'clock in the morning, Zhang Ran received a call from Zhao Hu. After listening to Zhao Hu's report, his face suddenly became ugly.
After Zhao Hu finished speaking, he carefully waited for Zhang Ran to speak. At this moment, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly, fearing that Zhang Ran would harm Chi Yu at this time.
However, Zhang Ran was too lazy to pay attention to him at this time. After listening to his report, he hung up the phone directly.
"Dayong, come with me." Zhang Ran said.
After He Yong and Zhang Ran got in the car, they hesitated for a moment and then said: "Brother Zhang, Sicheng is old after all. Should we talk about this matter in private before he comes back?"
He was afraid that Zhang Ran would make Zhang Sicheng look bad in public in his anger. In any case, Zhang Sicheng was almost thirty years old and he needed to have the proper self-esteem and face.
Also, He Yong was afraid that Zhang Ran's self-confidence, which he had helped Zhang Sicheng grow for so long, would also be hit.
Under normal circumstances, He Yong would not interfere in Zhang Ran's family affairs. Zhang Ranhe resented others interfering in his family's affairs, and he himself would not interfere in other people's family affairs at will.
However, He Yong still said that he was afraid that Zhang Ran would do something he would regret in anger.
As soon as Zhang Ran got in the car, he closed his eyes and rested his mind. When he heard He Yong's words, he said: "Well, I know, don't worry, I know what's going on."
After hearing this, He Yong didn't say anything more and drove honestly.
After arriving at the hotel, Zhang Ran didn't do anything. He just sat quietly in the lobby with his eyes closed and meditated.
... ... ...
At nine o'clock in the morning, Zhang Sicheng woke up, washed up, and prepared to go back to work. However, when he opened the door, Lu Xin from the opposite side also opened the door and walked out. ,
"Sicheng, get up. I'm going to knock on the door and call you." Lu Xin had already put on exquisite makeup and said with a smile when she saw Zhang Sicheng.
Zhang Sicheng said: "You got up quite early. Have you eaten?"
"Not yet, let's have some together. The breakfast in this hotel is very good." Lu Xin said.
Zhang Sicheng didn't refuse after thinking about it. After breakfast, the two took the elevator downstairs together.
"Your drinking capacity is not good. You need to practice more, otherwise you will easily suffer losses in the business world in the future." Lu Xin said with a smile, which was also an excuse to drink next time.
Zhang Sicheng said: "I don't have a good drinking capacity, but I didn't expect your drinking capacity to be so good."
"It's okay, next time I..." Before Lu Xin could finish her words, she saw Zhang Sicheng standing in a daze, looking ahead.
Lu Xin followed his line of sight and found Zhang Ran standing directly in front of them, looking at them calmly.
Zhang Sicheng didn't know what was going on, and suddenly panicked in his heart, as if his parents had caught him secretly going out to surf the Internet during school.
"Why are you here?" Zhang Sicheng stepped forward quickly and asked.
"This is Uncle Zhang, hello. My name is Lu Xin, and I am a friend of Sicheng." Lu Xin was also slightly stunned, and then stretched out her white and tender hands with a smile.
But Zhang Ran didn't even look at Lu Xin, and said to Zhang Sicheng: "Come here with me."
In the end, Zhang Ran did not rush directly to find someone, nor did he reprimand Zhang Sicheng in public.
As He Yong said, Zhang Sicheng is old. No matter what, he still needs to give him the face he deserves, even if Zhang Ran is his father.
Just like many ordinary families, after the children become adults, get married, and still live with their parents, many people will find that the voice and dominance of the family will slowly transfer to the children.
No matter what situation the parents encounter, they will discuss it with their children. This seems to be some subconscious behavior.
Zhang Ran walked out the door as he spoke, but quickly stopped and said, "Follow me too."
This was meant for Lu Xin.
Soon, the four of them got into the car. Zhang Ran sat in the passenger seat and said nothing during the whole journey, still closing his eyes and concentrating.
Zhang Sicheng looked at Zhang Ran with a guilty conscience, forced himself to find a topic and said, "Uncle He, when did you come back?"
"I came back overnight last night and found that you were not at home, and Brother Zhang was worried about you." He Yong said.
Zhang Sicheng became even more nervous, because he obviously didn't do anything bad.
He Yong found a remote place and stopped. Zhang Ran took the lead and got out of the car. Zhang Sicheng and Lu Xin also got off the car, but He Yong sat in the car and did not move.
When Zhang Sicheng and the two stopped beside Zhang Ran, Zhang Ran suddenly slapped him before he could say anything.
Zhang Sicheng didn't expect Zhang Ran to hit him, so he didn't react, "Dad, why did you hit me?"
This was Zhang Sicheng's subconscious reaction, and it was also the first time he opened his mouth and called "Dad" in front of Zhang Ran!
Zhang Ran's heart trembled when he heard the word 'Dad', but then he hardened his heart and said, "Why did I hit you? What's going on with you?"
Zhang Ran pointed at him and Lu Xin.
Lu Xin quickly said: "Uncle Zhang, Sicheng and I just had a meal..."
"Do you have the right to speak here?" Zhang Ran said coldly.
Lu Xin looked at Zhang Ran's eyes and suddenly didn't dare to speak. She felt that she had guessed wrong or done something wrong.
She had already inquired about most of the affairs in Zhang Sicheng's family through Zhang Sicheng's mouth, and even knew some of Zhang Ran's situation.
When she thought about it, Zhang Ran, her biological father who had not fulfilled his father's obligations for more than 20 years, should be full of guilt for Zhang Sicheng, and he must be thinking about making up for the father's love that had been vacant in these years.
The situation was similar to what she had guessed. Zhang Sicheng's house, company, etc. were all managed by Zhang Ran.
Lu Xin even supported Zhang Sicheng and said that Zhang Ran just gave his sister Zhang Siyan 50 million in cash and some other things.
Therefore, Lu Xin determined that even if Zhang Sicheng did something that was against morality, Zhang Ran would probably choose to turn a blind eye because of the guilt in his heart.
But the result was beyond her expectation. Instead of turning a blind eye, Zhang Ran directly beat Zhang Sicheng.
Zhang Ran stared at Zhang Sicheng and said: "Zhang Sicheng, I did not fulfill the obligations of a father before. Maybe in your heart, I am not a competent father either. It doesn't matter whether you blame me or hate me." That’s fine with me, but what I want to tell you is that I will take care of what should be taken care of, even if you feel uncomfortable.”
Hearing Zhang Ran's words, Zhang Sicheng suddenly became even more panicked, "Dad, I didn't think so. Really, I know it was an accident for you and it was a force majeure factor. Neither Siyan nor I ever complained about you, really."
This is Zhang Sicheng's true thoughts. When he and Zhang Siyan knew Zhang Ran's true situation, they did not resent Zhang Ran. If Zhang Ran abandoned his wife and son, then they would definitely resent it, but such a fantasy thing is not Zhang Ran's. Of course you can make a decision.
