Xie Duo didn't know how to make Shen Antu really fall in love with him, but he would not be happy if he was imprisoned blindly. So Xie Duo kept the cat's claws and the canary's wings, put them in the cage and opened the cage door. He was hinting that you can run away temporarily, but don't run too far and remember to come back.
Seeing that Xie Duo remained silent, Xie Changqing frowned: "Then let me ask it another way. Do you know why I invited the Chong family to dinner at my home today?"
Xie Duo came back to his senses. He looked up at his father across from him and said, "I know that you and mom are very satisfied with Chong Shirui and hope that I can marry her. I rejected her once half a year ago, so you invited them to your house this time. In addition to wanting to bring us together again, you are also reminding me that Chong Shirui is the ideal daughter-in-law in your mind. She has a good image and temperament, a high level of education, and most importantly, a wealthy family. The only person I want to bring home is someone who meets her criteria."
"It's good that you know." Xie Changqing has always been very satisfied with his son. "You don't have to marry Chong Shirui, but you can deal with the one outside by yourself."
Xie Duo sneered: "Then I'm afraid my way of handling it can't be considered clean."
Xie Changqing frowned: "What do you mean?"
Xie Duo lowered his head and touched the bones of his left hand. The pain from Shen Antu biting on them with red eyes last night seemed to still remain. "You should have seen the news. Did you know that Shen Lin has been missing for more than a month?"
Xie Changqing had a bad feeling: "So?"
Xie Duo raised his eyebrows, his black eyes revealing an unspeakable depth: "The person is with me."
Xie Changqing understood Xie Duo's meaning in an instant, but this was simply too outrageous. He leaned forward with his arms on the table, and said in a doubtful tone: "Are you talking about you and Shen Lin?"
"Yes." Xie Duo admitted generously without hiding anything.
"… "
Xie Changqing's face changed in an instant, shock, anger, and disbelief burst out from his eyes. Xie Duo looked at his subconsciously clenched fists and clenched eyes, without a doubt that he would hit him in the next second, but Xie Changqing just closed his eyes for a few seconds, and when he opened his eyes again, he had suppressed his emotions and sorted out his thoughts. He looked at Xie Duo with a sharp gaze: "How could Shen Lin be willing to be inferior to you?"
Xie Duo: "He had a brain injury in a plane accident and lost his memory, so of course what I say is what counts."
Xie Changqing heard the subtle pride in his son's tone, and his blood pressure soared again. In just one minute, his excellent son became a homosexual, and the object of his love was his mortal enemy, and he took advantage of the other party's amnesia to abduct him.
Xie Changqing wanted to yell, but he didn't know where to start. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and say word by word: "Give me back."
Xie Duo raised his eyes: "Absolutely impossible."
"You..." Xie Changqing's face was stern. He took a breath before continuing, "How did you get together with him? Do you know each other in private?"
Xie Duo's mouth curled up into a mocking arc: "You probably don't know that we were high school classmates. Although he later went abroad and we didn't keep in touch after he came back, I..."
Xie Duo didn't say anything else, but the blank space often expresses more profound things than words.
Xie Duo himself didn't understand it. It was just a vague affection from his youth. Why did he linger on for so long? Just like the candies and toys that you couldn't have when you were a kid, you won't want them anymore when you grow up. Shen Antu had been gone for seven years. Wasn't that enough for Xie Duo to forget him? Year after year passed, and Xie Duo thought he had forgotten him until he saw him again at a cocktail party three years ago. In an instant, Xie Duo understood what it meant to be a raging fire.
Xie Changqing understood the disappointment between Xie Duo's brows, and he just sneered disdainfully: "Xie Duo, do you want me to tell you about Shen Lin? That kid is exactly like his father Shen Kaiping."
Xie Duo immediately put away his outward emotions and turned back into the indestructible Xie Duo: "If you mean what he did when he was studying abroad, and the means to regain Jinsheng Group, then I think it's unnecessary."
Xie Changqing looked at his only son again, his eyes not without disappointment: "Okay, let's talk about something else."
"Now you are the head of Ruiqian's family. I will not interfere with your decision-making, but I hope you can still maintain sufficient rationality."
"You know Shen Lin's current fiancée Yu Keyan, right? The Yu family has survived a hundred years of bloody storms in Europe. Now their influence in Europe is much greater than ours in China. You stole the son-in-law of the Yu family. Once this matter is exposed, Ruiqian's branch in Europe will have to close immediately."
"Don't tell me they are just playing their own games. In our circle, interests always outweigh true feelings. If faced with a choice, do you think Shen Lin wants you or her?"
Xie Changqing's eyes fixed on Xie Duo: "I can roughly guess what you said to Shen Lin, but memories can change, but people can't. Maybe he looks deeply in love with you now, but he will remember it sooner or later. How long do you think your lie can last?"
Late at night, Xie Duo drove back home. When he entered the house, the living room was pitch black. Perhaps Shen Antu thought that Xie Duo would not come back at night, so he did not leave a light on for him.
Xie Duo was very tired. What Xie Changqing said at night was like steel needles piercing his head, causing him sharp pain. He turned on the main lights in the living room and was attracted by the scattered drawing papers on the coffee table.
