Xiao Wenyao ca out from the detention center and parted ways with his lawyer imdiately. Thinking of the ss at ho, Xiao Wenyao could only feel a headache. So instead of going back to Xiao's villa, he drove to a bar nad "Drunk Encounter".
Ever since Xiao Wenyao took over the company, he would only go to high-end private clubs and restaurants. He hadn't been to places like bars for a long ti.
"Drunk Encounter" had been open for over thirty years in Hai City and was one of the most iconic bars. For Xiao Wenyao, who hadn't co for nearly twenty years, looking at this familiar yet strange place, it felt like ti travel.
Familiar because the bar's location and exterior remained unchanged. Strange because the interior decoration and style were completely different from the past without a trace of similarity.
Xiao Wenyao casually sat at a booth, ordered a bottle of brandy, and quietly watched a group of young n and won furiously shaking their heads to the DJ's music on the dance floor.
To be honest, Xiao Wenyao didn't really like the noisy atmosphere. Maybe because he was getting old, the flashing lights made his eyes uncomfortable, and the blaring speakers seed to make his internal organs jump, worsening his already irritable mood.
He lifted his glass and took a big gulp. Perhaps he drank too quickly and choked on the liquor, coughing a few tis.
Just then the DJ music stopped, and the lights softened.
Hearing the applause and cheers around him, Xiao Wenyao subconsciously looked towards the stage.
A young girl with a ponytail sat on a high stool, hugging a guitar, adjusted the microphone, and then played a llow tune.
Listening to the girl's gentle singing voice, Xiao Wenyao finally felt a little more comfortable. Leaning back in his chair, fingers caressing his glass, he closed his eyes recalling the past with Jian Hongi.
When Xiao Wenyao was young, he would often secretly co here to get drunk and vent his emotions. He had t Jian Hongi here.
At that ti, Jian Hongi was also a resident singer at "Drunk Encounter". She looked sweet but her voice was very soft. She specialized in singing sad love songs.
Whenever he heard Jian Hongi's singing, it made him feel an unprecedented sense of relief.
Only at that mont could he forget his own identity as an illegitimate child. As ti went by, he beca addicted to this feeling and fell for the singer.
So Xiao Wenyao, who originally ca to the bar just to get drunk, gradually ca to et Jian Hongi and got drunk because of her.
Then the two developed feelings for each other. Moreover, the Xiao family wouldn't care about an illegitimate son's marriage, so the two got married very smoothly.
The couple had always been very much in love. No matter what Xiao Wenyao did, Jian Hongi unconditionally supported him.
Likewise, when Jian Hongi spent money recklessly, Xiao Wenyao was not stingy at all and gave all his cards to her to spend as she wished.
Even when they had conflicts and quarreled, the two could reconcile within a day as if nothing had happened.
Thinking back on the past, Xiao Wenyao's heart gradually filled with sourness.
Such a loving couple with children, shouldn't their family beco happier and happier? Why did it beco like this now?
Recalling Jian Hongi's cries today, Xiao Wenyao couldn't help reflecting on himself, "Could it really be my fault?"
Yes, it wasn't just Jian Hongi's fault that their son was useless, he was also responsible.
If he had spent more ti educating his children, maybe Jian Ren and Jian Nan could also be promising like Ye's siblings.
But there was no redy for regret in this world...
The gentle singing on stage ended and the young girl got off stage, replaced by a rapper.
Xiao Wenyao glanced down at the empty bottle on the table. Unknowingly, he had finished that entire bottle.
He couldn't help but think of Jian Nan's threat in the detention center earlier.
Bowing his head with a sneer, "Huh, since the mistakes can no longer be redied, why not just give up altogether."
Sever ties? Xiao Wenyao would never sever ties. The Xiao family wouldn't let soone with a criminal record beco the heir. Jian Nan was already useless. What's wrong with having another child?
At that mont, Xiao Wenyao felt an unprecedented sense of comfort. Picking up his car keys, he strode out.
Xiao Wenyao had been drinking so he didn't dare drive himself. He called a chauffeur to send him back to the villa. The atmosphere at the Xiao house was still tense.
"Aunt Zhang, where is Madam?"
Aunt Zhang tremblingly replied, "Master, Madam has gone back to the bedroom to rest."
Xiao Wenyao nodded and went upstairs.
Seeing Xiao Wenyao's expression no longer as stern as before, Aunt Zhang thought he was going to apologize to his wife, so she relaxed.
Xiao Wenyao entered the bedroom and saw Jian Hongi lying on her side with her eyes closed. He tiptoed over quietly.
Seeing the bandage on her forehead and slightly swollen cheeks, Xiao Wenyao felt distressed and silently cursed himself for being inhuman.
He took a shower to rinse off the sll of alcohol then eagerly crawled into bed and kissed the woman's lips.
Jian Hongi was awakened by the hot kiss that still carried the faint sll of liquor. Opening her eyes to the familiar face, she rembered Xiao Wenyao hitting her today without comforting her before leaving. Angered, Jian Hongi pushed the man away.
"Don't touch !"
Knowing he was wrong, Xiao Wenyao sincerely apologized, "I'm sorry, honey. I was wrong to hit you. Do you want to hit back for revenge?"
Jian Hongi: ...
Under alcohol's influence, Xiao Wenyao was highly aroused and just wanted to pick up where they'd left off. "Alright, don't be angry anymore. Shall we continue?"
Jian Hongi's anger reignited.
"Xiao Wenyao, do you even have a heart! Our son is suffering in the detention center and you still have the mood for this kind of thing?!"
Xiao Wenyao scratched his head, "What can I do! I've tried every solution I can think of and it's completely useless. Nan has irrefutable evidence this ti. There's no chance he can get out!"
Jian Hongi cried again, "But...but Nan is our only son! We can't just watch him go to prison and ruin his youth!"
Xiao Wenyao held Jian Hongi's shoulders and continued to explain, "Honey, listen to . I'm truly helpless about this. And Nan will only be jailed for a few years at most. I'll try to find a way to get Nan easier treatnt so when he gets out, he can still marry and have children to live a wealthy life of luxury."
"But the board definitely won't agree to choose soone with a criminal record as the heir. And Ren doesn't have the capability to be the successor either. So we must have another son imdiately!"
"As long as he's born, we'll give him the best education to raise him into a talent. Our Xiao family will definitely be able to regain its peak status."
"So honey, we can't let this break us or waste too much energy and connections. Otherwise, if we accidentally step on a landmine, it could lead to the downfall of our entire Xiao family."
