In the past few days since I came to this world, this is the first time I have come into contact with the father of this body. Although it was not a face-to-face communication, they already had a rough idea of Shang Chong's temperament from the strong, stern, and unquestionable voice on the other end of the phone.
In the memory left by the original body, the feelings towards this father are very complicated. They are afraid of their harshness and inhumanity, but also admire their great ability. This man, who single-handedly revived the declining businessman, was not ordinary enough to be a role model for a child to learn and admire.
In addition, because there are still pictures of his father doting on him when he was a child, the later indifference and alienation made Yuanshen particularly unacceptable. Therefore, in addition to being respectful and fearful, it is inevitable that they still have a little bit of a child's longing for their father and many complaints about Shang Chong.
It is a pity that the original body that still longed for the trace of fatherly love in his heart is no longer there, and the person who exists in this body now is a ruthless person who once exiled his biological father by himself. In this regard, Yuan Buwei and Shang Han's personality can be said to be completely opposite in terms of the same choice.
At this time, listening to the unkind voice on the other end of the phone, it was because he didn't give in easily like the original body, with a flat but firm tone:
"It is absolutely impossible to renew the engagement."
"Now is not the time for you to be self-willed! Without my consent, this marriage will not be regarded as a dissolution. I know this Miss Xie. She is a good match with our business. She is also an excellent girl. She likes her wholeheartedly. You... Maybe you were too naive and deceived by others before. With this lesson, she has grown up in the future. It can be considered that she has learned a lot of wisdom, and even the only defect is gone. Such a candidate for a fiancée , What are you not satisfied with?" Shang Chong never thought of obediently obeying him? After so many years, his son would never obey his orders? One day, their voices suddenly became very severe.
"Besides her, can you? Find a better? Candidate? Don't miss the right person every day."
"Since Dad thinks she's suitable, it's fine for you to marry her." Yuan Buwei said casually, with a somewhat cynical, young master's tone, seeming a little frivolous, "Anyway, you? I've been a bachelor for so many years. Most likely? I'm too idle to just stare at me."
Yuan did not have any psychological barriers to calling him "Dad". This word does not have any special status in his mind, and it is almost the same as "Ergou" and "Dasha" in terms of universality. Anyway, even the real ones were
On the other end of the phone, Shang Chong obviously didn't expect his son to say such a thing, but he was caught off guard, and he froze for a few minutes without saying a word.
Immediately, he frowned tightly, and said displeasedly: "Enough, you? What nonsense are you talking about..."
Yuan Buwei raised the corners of his lips, and his tone sounded more and more frivolous, and he couldn't tell whether he was joking or serious: "I'm not talking nonsense. According to what you said, it's so good Girl, if you miss this village, there will be no store here. Of course, our merchants must take good care of it. Dad, come on, believe in yourself, you?can?!"
At the end, they? Still? Don't forget a word of encouragement.
I really encouraged him to marry Xie Huaying, just to make some trouble for him by saying it casually.
Anyway, I don't think I'm not married. Seeing how enthusiastic Shang Chong is, after all, this body is the eldest son of a merchant. It would be troublesome for Shang Chong to make troubles. It's better to just use Shang Chong's words to block his own mouth. If Shang Chong stays quiet for a while because of embarrassment, don't mention this marriage contract again, or even let him get out because of anger. Merchants, that would be great.
However, Yuan Buwei obviously underestimated Shang Chong's psychological endurance. The other party was just embarrassed for a few minutes, and then returned to the usual tone: "Stop pushing and resisting. In short, you? Come back to the old house now, I'll wait for you."
Their tone was firm and firm, and no rejection was allowed.
However, Yuanbuwei is not? Yuanshen, apparently? Not following this set?, so he flatly refused, and hung up the phone decisively: "No need, it's fine for me to be outside alone."
In an old merchant's house, beside a glass window, the man on the phone by the window? Hearing the busy tone of the phone hanging up, his thick eyebrows slowly frowned, as if the air was about to freeze.
Their appearance is somewhat similar to Shang Han's, but they look more mature and indifferent. They are wearing a suit, their hair is also carefully combed, and the lines of their face are like sculptures, which seems a bit rigid and unhuman. .
Probably because he was aroused by his unreasonable answer, his air was cold all over his body, and the expression on his face became more and more unapproachable, which made the atmosphere in the living room extremely depressing.
Behind him, a young girl's cautious voice came: "Uncle Shang...you...don't be angry with Brother Han, it's all my fault for coming today without invitation..."
In the living room not far away, a girl stood up nervously from the sofa and looked towards this side with an embarrassed smile. It was Xie Huaying.
She was wearing a light blue one-shoulder long dress, revealing a slender neck and round, sun-skinned shoulders. Her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite and bright, and she exuded the unique vigor of young girls when she smiled, looking elegant and beautiful.
It was completely different from when Yuan Buwei saw her in the police station that day, today? She doesn't see any resentment, unwillingness, or embarrassment. Instead, she is generous and very decent.
It's just that deep in the eyes, there is a faint haze.
"none of your business."
Shang Chong slowly put away his phone and turned around. The indifferent expression on their face melted a lot, and their tone was warm.
"...the child grows up and his wings become stiff, so he won't listen to you anymore. Sooner or later, they will think about tomorrow."
Xie Huaying showed a bitter smile, and lowered her head slightly: "Uncle Shang, you don't need to comfort me anymore, I know Brother Han is not willing to forgive me so easily..." Her tone was lost, her voice was soft and soft, and her lowered eyes However, it became more and more cold and gloomy, "... just now, what they said just now... I heard everything."
She still came here with the last sliver of hope, and stepped on the face of herself and the Xie family, but she didn't expect that person to be so heartless and cold, and even said such words to humiliate her, she would rather let her and her own ?Father got involved and got rid of the marriage contract... Hehehe...
—It turns out that she was a joke from beginning to end!
"You? heard? heard?" Shang Chong was obviously a little embarrassed, he waved his hands and said, "That kid likes to talk nonsense, you? don't? take it to heart, next time I'll ask him? to apologize to you."
"Yeah." Xie Huaying nodded slightly, her voice was like a mosquito, her cheeks seemed to be flushed with shame and embarrassment.
She quietly raised her head to look at the man, her bright eyes reflected the other's reflection: "...I don't blame Brother Han, is it? I did something wrong first, which made him misunderstand me."
Her well-behaved and sensible attitude obviously made Shang Chong extremely satisfied, and his gaze towards Xie Huaying became a little gentler.
Xie Huaying struck while the iron was hot, and said a little embarrassedly: "Uncle Shang, I have a heartless feeling."
"What's the matter?" Shang Chong asked calmly.
"Can I... Can I stay in the merchant's old house for a while?" Xie Huaying seemed to clenched her fingers nervously, raised her beautiful face, and fixed her eyes on Shang Chong, with a look that people couldn't bear to refuse The pleading and expectation, "...just a temporary stay."
"... I, I came here today? I made my own decision. My family actually opposed it." But it is obvious that people can think that the Xie family is definitely not willing to come to people's face again, is it? Xie Huaying herself still wants to work hard to save the marriage contract. However, her "effort" seems to have ended in failure, "Now, now I don't have the face to go home... I, I just want to calm down outside for a while."
Speaking of this, Xie Huaying added another sentence in a very low voice, with hope in her expression: "Moreover, Brother Han might come back someday..."
Shang Chong didn't respond yet, but the old butler in the corner was already moved by what he heard. This is? Abandoning all girls' reservedness and face, and thinking about waiting for the young master at home, and trying every means to save the marriage contract!
The old butler secretly sighed, very unbearable.
... Alas, as I get older, the most annoying thing is to see a story about an idiot complaining about a man complaining about a woman. It's a pity that the only one who can make the decision in this family is the head of the house, and the head of the house is not so easy to talk to. Their hearts are much harder than the young master.
He felt a bit of sympathy for Xie Huaying in his heart, and just as he was thinking this way, he heard Shang Chong suddenly say, "Yes, you? Temporarily live in the guest room on the third floor, the one on the farthest east."
The old butler was surprised, but he was in a hurry to listen? He obeyed the order and went to find a servant to tidy up the guest room.
Before going upstairs, they heard a girl's cheerful voice coming from downstairs, and couldn't help but look back.
Sunlight slanted in from the window, and the young girl was looking up at the man by the window. She didn't know what he said, and there was a smile of extreme joy on her lips.
A subtle feeling flashed across his heart. The old housekeeper always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't think about what was wrong tomorrow, so he went upstairs with a confused expression.
Behind him, Xie Huaying had already walked in front of Shang Chong, and the distance between the two unknowingly narrowed, her smile was bright and vivid: "... Thank you so much, Uncle Shang. To be honest , I used to be a little afraid of Uncle Shang? I didn't expect you to be so nice... "
While talking, she looked at the face of the man in front of her, and thought of another face similar to it. The smile on his face became brighter and brighter, but his heart was like an open sore, overflowing with resentment and malice.
Shang Han, oh Shang Han, since you? humiliate me like this, and can't wait to get rid of me so much... I just want to call you? I've been stuck in my throat for the rest of my life, so you? reap the consequences!
- You? Wait!
The vicious idea took root in her heart, sprouted, and blossomed, but the smile on her face became sweeter and sweeter.
Shang Chong greeted the girl with a bright smile, and was silent for a moment, as if he had noticed something, but he seemed to have noticed nothing, waves flashed by the bottom of his eyes, and he returned to calm again.
The camouflage and acting skills that young girls think are very good, but for the old fox who has been immersed in the power field for many years, after all, they are too immature and full of loopholes.
He? Didn't say anything, just said gently: "You don't need to thank me, during this time you? Just live here with peace of mind."
As for Shang Han...
Thinking of the son who suddenly became disobedient and faintly beyond his control, he seemed a little distressed, and there was a little bit of thought in his eyes.
… Maybe, that decision was? I was wrong
After all, this child is just an ordinary person.
