Chapter 795: Chapter 794: I Don’t Need Your Good Intentions!
“Dad! Whether I’m suitable with soone isn’t determined by whether you think we’re compatible—it’s not as if when you think we aren’t, I must give up! I need to make this decision and feel it for myself!
As for what you ntioned about relationships and seniority, those really aren’t issues at all. Xiaozheng’s friend has passed away for many years, and if Liang Wei were to marry , she would naturally address everyone in the way she ought to!” Shao Xingbang didn’t care about these matters; if he had, he wouldn’t have taken that step.
Seeing Shao Xingbang’s self-assured and unyielding deanor, Shao Chengzhi felt a pain in his chest from anger, “Xingbang! How can you be so obstinate! I thought you’d have co to terms with reality after facing these setbacks! After all this ti… your stance is even more resolute!”
Shao Xingbang tried hard to explain, wanting his father to understand what was in his heart, “Dad! It’s not that I’m being obstinate, but that I’m seriously pursuing my own happiness! I’m not a naïve youngster in my twenties, I know very well what I’m doing! What I want!
I don’t want a woman just to muddle through life with , to wash and care and bear my children; I want soone whom I like and am happy to be with every single day.”
Shao Chengzhi, with a stern face, retorted, “That Liang Wei can make you happy? Xingbang, there’s a gap between ideals and reality. You can’t be so willful and disregard our feelings, can you? If you really end up with her, where would we put the Shao Family’s face?”
“Dad! Which is more important, your feelings and face, or my happiness? When Xiaozheng and Lin Xia were together, despite the great gap between them, you always supported them wholeheartedly.
Why can’t you offer more support and understanding?” Shao Xingbang envied Lu Zheng and Lin Xia’s relationship and hoped he could also receive his family’s blessing.
Shao Chengzhi was nearly driven mad by Shao Xingbang, his face flushed red with anger as he slamd the table and bellowed, “Don’t give that rubbish! Are Lin Xia and Liang Wei the sa? If Liang Wei were unmarried, I wouldn’t have disagreed!”
He wasn’t soone who despised the poor and loved the rich, but he found it very hard to agree with his youngest son’s choice this ti.
When he said he didn’t support or oppose the relationship, he was also thinking that even if he did oppose, he couldn’t stop his son; better let him hit a wall on his own, maybe then he would turn back.
Shao Xingbang was also getting anxious, “Dad! I’m not the sa as Xiaozheng! How old am I now? Don’t you want to see married and have children within your lifeti?”
“You’re making so angry, I can’t even say how many days I have left to live!”
As father and son rushed their words in what looked like the start of an argunt, the sound of the front door opening ca; it was Shao irou and Lu Pengcheng returning with the two children.
Seeing her brother and father red-faced and looking as if they were quarreling, Shao irou quickly put down her keys and ca over to diate.
“Xingbang! Talk to Dad nicely, his heart has been uncomfortable these past few days!”
A look of guilt flashed through Shao Xingbang’s eyes; in his anger, he had indeed failed to consider his father’s health.
“Dad! I didn’t know your heart was uncomfortable! I didn’t co back to argue with you! What just happened was my fault! I made you angry!”
Shao Chengzhi waved his hand, “It’s okay! Ah, it’s just the sa old problem!” He directed Shao irou, “irou! Get my dicine!”
“Okay!” Shao irou quickly found the dicine near the coffee table and brought water to Shao Chengzhi to take his dicine.
After taking his dicine, Shao Chengzhi’s complexion improved slightly.
Lu Pengcheng asked worriedly, “Dad! Are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital to have a look?”
“No need! I know it’s not serious!” Shao Chengzhi now loathed and felt least inclined to visit the one place he detested—the hospital.
He hated its sll, he hated everything about it.
It can be said, unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t set foot in a hospital.
Jingjing and Keke ca back from outside and saw this scene, the two children behaved and snuggled up to Shao Chengzhi’s side, supporting his knees and saying “dicine.”
Shao Chengzhi, seeing the two adorable children, felt a little better, “I’m fine!”
Shao Xingbang waited until Shao Chengzhi’s complexion had gradually recovered; he didn’t dare to bring up the topic of insisting on getting the old man’s agreent again. Instead, he talked about the reason he ca back.
“Dad! The reason I ca back is because of sothing. I confessed my feelings to Liang Wei, but she didn’t agree! Yet, my sisters still went to cause trouble for Liang Wei! You have to judge this matter for , weren’t we in the wrong?”
Shao Chengzhi was not aware of such a thing, “Liang Wei told you this?”
“No! I guessed!” Shao Xingbang looked intently at his sister, “Sis! Do you really want your brother to live a lonely life that much?”
Shao irou was angered upon hearing this. What did she and her sister do all this for if not for their brother’s well-being?
Shao Chengzhi asked with a stern face, “irou! Tell , did this happen?”
Lu Pengcheng also looked towards Shao irou.
Facing their pressing gaze, Shao irou found it difficult to lie, “I and ifang did indeed visit her. But we didn’t say any harsh words, just chatted with her for a bit.
Even she said she was not compatible with Xingbang, saying no matter how he pursued her, she wouldn’t agree…”
“Nonsense! What right do you have to bother people?” In Shao Chengzhi’s view, if they disagreed, they disagreed. Family issues should be dealt with behind closed doors, there was no need to disturb Liang Wei!
Shao irou hastily explained, “Dad! Please don’t get so upset! Just relax after taking the dicine! Actually, we did it for Xingbang’s own good! We didn’t want him to get carried away and do sothing foolish!”
Shao Xingbang sneered, “Then should I thank you profusely?! You say it’s for my good, but I see it’s clearly you imposing your own opinions on ! Wearing the guise of caring for while doing things that hurt ! I don’t need this kind of care from you at all! It makes sick!”
Tears of grievance ford in Shao irou’s eyes; she had never seen her brother speak to her like this before.
“Xingbang! How can you say that! Could it be that your second sister and I would harm you? Which year did we not worry ourselves to death for you!”
“I can take care of my own business! I don’t need your unnecessary worries! You better mind your own business! Dad! I suggest that since things have co to this, we might as well call my second sister back, and have an honest and straightforward talk!” Shao Xingbang wanted to solve everything at once.
Shao Chengzhi did not object, “Alright! irou! Call ifang!”
Shao irou was sowhat reluctant, “ifang has a shift today, she might not be able to leave.”
She knew her sister’s temper was different from her own; once she ca back, if her brother spoke out of line, the two would definitely clash.
Not to ntion harming the sibling’s harmony, their father had not been in good health lately. If things got worse because of them, it would be a loss not worth the gain. Thus, she was unwilling to let Shao ifang co over.
Shao Chengzhi understood his daughter’s thoughts, but he could not let her have her way, “Tell her I’m sick and want to see her!”
“Alright!” Shao irou had no choice but to make the call in front of them.
By the ti Shao ifang arrived, the two children had already been coaxed to sleep by Shao irou.
The adults from the Shao family sat in the living room.
