Shao Chengzhi said a bit unhappily, "After all this ti, Xiaozheng said he was drinking with friends to trick us! Turns out, it was with you!"
He really believed his grandson when he said that yesterday.
Shao Xingbang hurriedly explained, "Dad! I told Xiaozheng not to tell you the truth! I was feeling really down and needed soone to talk to, I didn’t expect to drink so much!"
He painfully pressed his head; the feeling of waking up after drinking too much was indeed unpleasant, and this wasn’t fake.
Shao Chengzhi saw his pained expression and couldn’t help but lightly scold, "How much did you drink to end up like this? Do you still have any dignity as an elder?"
This boy usually paid the most attention to his image, it was really the first ti he saw his youngest son so out of control from drinking.
Shao Xingbang rubbed his face hard and said hoarsely, "Dad! Please don’t scold ! I forgot how much I drank, but it was a lot! Of these days, last night was the only ti I drank until I fell asleep!"
Shao Chengzhi’s gaze sharpened, and he asked in a softer tone, "What were you doing the previous nights?"
"Insomnia! Couldn’t sleep at all!" Shao Xingbang ruffled his ssy hair, "Dad! Since everyone’s still asleep, can I openly speak so heartfelt words with you?!"
"Go ahead!" Shao Chengzhi sat on a separate sofa nearby, from the first glance at his youngest son, he had guessed that his haggard state was all because of love, because of a woman.
Shao Xingbang used the mont to rub his eyes, organizing his emotions and words, and when he looked up again, it was with an appearance of unbearable heartache.
"Dad! Actually, you and my sister haven’t figured sothing out. Liang Wei doesn’t agree to be with , but my sister still went to find her, which makes feel especially guilty towards her.
Also, when we t at the restaurant that day, the hurt look in that kid’s eyes still flashes before from ti to ti. I really like Wenfeng. You know his background, he grew up without a father, and though we’re not father and son, our bond is like one! So, I’ve been in great pain these days!"
Shao Chengzhi imdiately clarified, "Xingbang! Though Dad opposes you two being together, if you want to see that child, you can go! I’m not stopping you!"
He knew his youngest son got along well with Wenfeng, and as one grows older, liking children is understandable.
Shao Xingbang gave a bitter smile, "How can I go? If I go, won’t I have to see Liang Wei? When my sister and they catch wind of it, they’ll cause her trouble again!
What did Liang Wei ever do to deserve being warned and talked to so harshly?
She is indeed a widow with a child, but she has her pride, right? Being treated like that by my sister and them, who could bear it?"
Shao Chengzhi, knowing his daughters were wrong, still wanted to excuse them, "Your sister and they did wrong, but they were doing it for your own good!"
Shao Xingbang painfully held his head, "Dad! I’m begging you, please don’t say it’s for my own good. If it really was, you should unconditionally support my choice, let bravely pursue my happiness, even if I end up bloody and bruised, I won’t have any regrets!
You see, now you’re blocking every which way, the more you do this, the more I think Liang Wei is great!
If you weren’t stopping , maybe I’d chase for a while, see no hope, and give up.
At the end of the day, your intense opposition, we both know why. It’s all for face! Thinking that finding a widow is losing face in front of others!
So Dad, I just want to ask, is your so-called face more important, or am I more important?"
Shao Chengzhi had been reflecting and questioning himself these days, his interference with his youngest son was no longer as firm as before.
"Xingbang! Of course, you are more important! But you also have to understand, one can’t help but care about face! Sotis, even if the reasoning is clear, how many can really follow through?"
"Dad! Actually, there’s sothing I haven’t told you! All these years, I haven’t settled down to find a girlfriend because I still feel guilty about that person.
This year at New Year’s, bringing Ji Man back was because Xiaozheng had twins, fulfilling your long-held wish.
Now, only my marriage is unsettled, so I wanted to give you an answer, can’t keep dragging on year after year.
But the result wasn’t good... I misjudged her, and after bringing Ji Man back, she and her family even used suicide to manipulate ...
Since then, I’ve developed a fear of won, I even thought staying single for life was fine!
Unexpectedly, fate is beyond control, I t Liang Wei at Jingjing and Keke’s birthday party. And at first glance, she felt especially different to .
But because she’s a widow with a child, even before I could pursue her, I was already blocked by you...
Shao Chengzhi was slightly moved. He had long suspected why his youngest son had been so irresponsible these years, but they had never had a proper talk.
"Xingbang... is she really that attractive to you?" Shao Chengzhi sighed inwardly, he couldn’t understand why his youngest son was so deeply in love with Liang Wei.
In his eyes, Liang Wei was just an ordinary woman, nothing strikingly exceptional.
"Dad! I don’t know why either, she’s especially attractive to ! But I’m interested in her, she doesn’t fancy !"
Shao Xingbang spoke pitifully, making Shao Chengzhi wonder, how could his son not attract soone? What was missing?
Shao Xingbang gave a bitter smile, "Dad! I promised you not to seek her out again, I wanted to keep my word! But then I realized I can’t do it! I’m in so much pain, I want to die!" He secretly raised the stakes, "I’m not young anymore, who knows how long I’ll live, it’s not like no one around has passed away early.
My thoughts are simple, I just don’t want any regrets when I close my eyes.
I beg you to agree, give a year. If by then Liang Wei still doesn’t agree, I’ll give up completely."
Shao Chengzhi really didn’t want to agree, a good girl fears a persistent guy, his son was excellent after all, what if Liang Wei couldn’t resist his pursuit...
But seeing his beloved youngest son tortured into this haggard state, Shao Chengzhi was also very pained.
He wanted his son to find soone better, that’s why he was blocking them.
After a long silence, he reluctantly spoke, "Xingbang! I can see it now. If I don’t agree, you’ll just co up with other plans to deal with , right?"
Shao Xingbang touched his nose in tacit agreent, knowing that none of his little tricks could escape his father’s eyes.
