Chapter 231

When it comes to this step, everyone's conditions and goals have been achieved. There is no more to say. Aunt Cao took Kuankuan back and said to me with a smile, "the baby is not picky when eating. I fed him a portion of puree, a portion of shrimp dumplings and a portion of sliced egg soup. I think he's full."

"Thank you, aunt Cao." I took Kuankuan, who had a small stomach.

He Zelin looked at Kuankuan more and more agreeable. He took it to his arms and talked to him happily.

He Liancheng looked at the time and said to he Zelin, "Dad, Kuankuan went to bed early. Let's go back first."

He Zelin looked at Kuankuan's blinking eyes painfully, finally released his hand and said to us, "go back, and move back after the wedding."

He Liancheng tugged at the corners of his mouth, did not say whether he agreed or did not agree. He took Kuankuan to say goodbye to he Zelin, and then took me out of the door.

On the way home, he was silent for a long time before asking me: "Leyi, do you think I should agree? My father is really old. Last time he was hospitalized, it was dangerous. If he had a sudden myocardial infarction, he would commit it again if he didn't pay attention. I don't want him to worry and regret... "

I don't know how to answer him. He has to make his own decision. Although I know that my words have little influence on his decision, I still dare not speak easily.

He Liancheng is a person who looks lazy on the surface but is very determined on the inside. He always makes his own decisions. Even if he is as close as I am, I can't control his choice. Just like just now, he was asking me on the surface, but actually he was asking himself.

I didn't speak, and he didn't ask. There was only wide and vague voice calling mom and dad in the car.

After a while, he stared at the road in front of him, broke the silence and said, "my father has confessed to this extent. If I persist in this way, will it be a bit bad? However, if I really agree to recognize he Xiao as my younger brother, how can I explain to my dead mother? "

"Otherwise, don't make a decision in a hurry. I'll talk about it after I meet He Xiao." I asked him tentatively.

Kuankuan was a little sleepy in my arms at this time. I opened and closed my eyes, and I was about to fall asleep. It was very quiet in the car. He Liancheng took a look at Kuankuan and then said softly, "I'd rather my father was simple and rude to me, and more deliberately made things difficult, so that I would never understand his position. But today he mentioned leniency, and I suddenly understood his feelings. What's particularly annoying is, why don't they deal with the mistakes they made in those years immediately, and why do they have to wait until now and have my opinion? I don't want to make that decision, really. " At last, he raised his voice, and his uncontrollable anger was about to explode.

"I understand him, but I don't support him because he hurt you." I released a hand over his hand holding the steering wheel and said, "think about it again. Three days is a hurry."

There were a lot of cars on the road. There was a little traffic jam. We were stuck on our way home.

"If he doesn't take leniency as an example, I won't hesitate to agree. He mentioned Kuankuan and asked me what I should do if Kuankuan didn't enter any family when he was in his twenties. I was so soft hearted He Liancheng sighed and touched Kuankuan's head.

"Don't think so. Kuankuan and he Xiao are not comparable. Kuankuan is a child born out of wedlock, but you always accompany him, and you love him so much. He doesn't lack fatherly love. He is different from the child born out of an extramarital affair. What he lacks is just a formality. What's more, I don't care whether you marry me or not. Don't make any decisions against your will for me. " I saw that he was depressed and tangled, and immediately advised.

He looked at the traffic in front of me, leaned over my forehead and said, "silly, how can I make a decision without worrying about you. In the process of growing up, we should not lose the love from any relatives, including grandparents. "

I was moved by what he said in his plain tone, and suddenly felt that my voice was blocked up. I turned my head out of the car quietly and didn't want him to see my red eyes.

He didn't directly pull my head to embarrass me, but quietly squeezed my hand and said, "you go to see he Xiao tomorrow, listen to what he will say, let's make a decision."

I whispered.

What he Liancheng can't stand most is this kind of "soft policy". He can't see others showing weakness or crying. When he Zelin was so ruthless to him, he gritted his teeth and even took the initiative to come out of the group. Now, he Zelin didn't even mention the conditions. He just said what he really meant. He even wavered in his achievements.

The next day I met he Xiao in Blue Mountain coffee. He was still dressed like an elite. Expensive and decent suits, Italian handmade shirts, light blue striped ties, and meticulous hair.

His face as usual, some pale, delicate bridge of the nose with a pair of gold rimmed glasses, the eyes behind the lens as quiet as water, see me come in a smile, the whole person is very modest."Sit down and have a drink?" He asked thoughtfully.

"Whatever." I answered simply.

"This is an authentic Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee. It tastes very good. You don't need to make it by any means. Do you drink it in its original flavor?" He asked me calmly, like a party with an old friend.

"Good." I nodded.

The price of Blue Mountain coffee is extremely expensive. Generally, all the products on the market are fakes. The best ones are only produced in the area around the blue mountain range. Authentic ones are rare.

He Xiao asked the waiter to order two cups of coffee skillfully. When the waiter left, he leaned back and said, "if it's unnecessary, I won't say it. I didn't do it. I know he Liancheng hates me because I threaten his position. To tell you the truth, I don't want to be such an awkward identity because it's too hard. Do well, others will say, but with their own is the illegitimate son of so and so; If you don't do it well, others will say it's just the illegitimate child of so and so‘ The word "illegitimate child" is like the stigma of humiliation, which can't be removed in my whole life. But I don't have a choice. I can't know I was born out of wedlock before I was born. If the fetus is conscious in the mother's abdomen, I think I will give myself an end before birth. "

I was shocked by his direct words. I never thought that he Xiao, who always said only half a sentence, would be so frank and frank in this matter that should be concealed most.

"On the surface, I do have a motive to do it. But think about it, I don't have to. Even if he Liancheng didn't attend the so-called Guizong banquet, it didn't have much influence on me. I don't even think much of whether he Zelin admits me or not. " He Xiao said again.

The waiter came with the coffee and said softly, "your coffee, sir."

He Xiao motioned him to put it down, then said to me: "I want to get he Zelin's recognition, just for the future children to know who their grandfather is. I don't want him to be as unclear as I am."

I took the silver spoon, stirred the coffee gently and asked, "is that what you want me to say?"

"Yes, I don't have the so-called evidence. I just want to tell you that I didn't do this. As for who did it, you'd better find out again." He Xiao sipped his coffee and said, "it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. I'm only responsible for clarifying for myself. As for the clarification, whether others believe it or not is up to the listener to judge."

To be honest, I believe the first half of what he Xiao said, but I don't believe the second half at all.

If he really doesn't care whether he can get the recognition of he Zelin and has worked hard for so many years, why? Strive to enter the group why? Why is everything right with he Liancheng?

"I don't mean to believe or not to believe what you say. What I want to say is that when people do something wrong, they have to pay a price to be forgiven. None of us knows the details of the grudges of the previous generation. We just guess by the results. No matter whether your mother and he Zelin really loved each other or not, and what consequences she had to bear when she was with a married man, she should know. What's more, I understand your mood, but I can't forgive you. Have you ever thought about the psychology of he Liancheng's mother when she knew that your mother existed? " I thought for a long time in my heart, and then I reluctantly said these words in a non emotional tone.

He Xiao's identity is really not what he wants, but everything in the world has a cause and effect. The cause planted by her mother requires him to bear the fruit. No one can be forgiven without paying the price.

The law of conservation of mass is equally applicable to the world!

He Xiao rubbed his eyebrows and said to me with a tired face: "you are no longer objective and just, and you are no longer calm. You have become he Liancheng's woman from body to heart, and you have his brand."

"Do you know the reason for my divorce?" I didn't answer him, I asked him instead.

He nodded and said, "I not only know the reason for your divorce, but also the world's view of Xiao san'er. But that's in your eyes. No matter how unbearable that woman is in the eyes of the world, she is my mother, and I will defend her unconditionally at any time. "

His body was tight again, and he sat upright in the deep colored rattan sofa, just like a leopard who was about to fight back at any time. His physical condition, which seems to be in negotiation at any time, shows that he has been living with care. He Liancheng has never been so reckless. It's a little pathetic indeed!

The tone of our two voices has been a little stiff. It's impossible for us to continue talking. He has his position and I have mine. No one will give way in this respect.

After years of forbearance, he Xiao's character became particularly calm. He was silent for a few seconds. He first relaxed his tone and said, "my words are up to now. As for how much you can hear, I really can't control it." Then he spread out his hand and asked me to help myself.

When I got home, I could only tell he Liancheng what he Xiao had said. It's not appropriate to say more or less.After listening to him, he Liancheng held me for a long time, and finally firmly said, "I won't go to his so-called Guizong banquet. My father did something wrong and let him solve it by himself."

I didn't expect him to make a decision so soon. I couldn't help but ask: "your father is in a dilemma. Besides, he has made a lot of concessions in this matter. If you are so tough, I'm afraid he can't bear it."

My words made him speechless for a long time. After thinking for a long time, he said, "in this case, I'll take the opportunity to make another condition."

When he finished, he loosened his hand, picked up his mobile phone and called he Zelin directly. Before I knew what to say, I heard him say in a soft voice: "Dad, I agree to attend He Xiao's reunion banquet, but there is another condition, that is, he leaves the group. As for where to go, I won't interfere, so you can arrange a good place for him."

He Liancheng's words made my eyelids jump and suddenly thought of Shen Mo's words of giving me a big gift. What he said was very clear - let he Xiao come out of the he group. How could he have guessed that?

He Zelin over there didn't know what he said. He Liancheng said, "OK, I believe you. You can do the rest as usual."

After he Liancheng hung up the phone, his face was very ugly. He held his mobile phone for several turns and then put it down a little at a loss.

I went over and put my arms around his waist and said in a low voice, "Lian Cheng, I'm sorry. I said one more word to put you in a dilemma."

"I know my temper. It's me who makes the final decision. It doesn't matter much to you. If you don't remind me, I'll think about the old man's body. I'm desperate to fight against him and break away from the group. It's a big blow to him. Over the past few years, I've been working against him. He was right that day. I didn't have the capacity to tolerate others. I did things as I wanted. To tell you the truth, I'm sadder than he is to see him in a dilemma. After all, we are the father and son who have been together for more than ten years. I think if my mother is still alive, she will certainly take him in. Such a person can only rest assured when she is beside her. " He Liancheng hugged me and calmed down, "don't worry, he Xiao has been passive since he came to this step."
