Chapter 8: People with Conflicted Hearts (1)

Rosewood Life and the agent finally reached an out-of-court settlement agreement, and the case was closed. Xiang Hui knocked on the side of Rosewood Life and heard that An Su had gone to Paris on a business trip. He felt relieved when he heard the news, but at the same time a little disappointed.

Xiang Hui has decided to help Tu Yunxi fight the lawsuit over land requisition, although he is not too sure. Colleagues from the law firm made a detailed analysis of the materials provided by Tu Yunxi, and they all opposed taking the case, because they were too uncertain about the chance of winning, and instead smashed their own signboard, thinking that he was too conceited to take the case. And Xiang Hui smiled bitterly, he didn't know, but if he didn't answer, he really had a feeling that heaven would not tolerate it.

On the weekend, Xiang Hui went back to his parents' house for dinner.

When his son went home for dinner, Zou Mingfang specially prepared two more dishes. Recently, my husband has been busy and comes home to eat less often than before, and my son is busier and comes home to eat with him less often. I have to say that a person is not even in the mood to cook, and he always deals with it casually.

Zou Mingfang was happily arranging dinner in the kitchen, and Xiang Hui went into the kitchen to help, but she kicked him out. "Go talk to your dad."

Xiang Hui posed as a gesture of begging for mercy.

Zou Mingfang raised the spoon and looked at his son, "What are you doing?" ”

Xiang Hui looked innocent, and then asked quietly: "Mom, doesn't the hall look very happy today, who provoked him?" ”

"Who knows, he's been like this a lot lately, always sitting there and not liking to talk. Also, the number of times I come back to eat is getting less and less, and I don't know what I'm busy with, I haven't been so busy before. ”

"Then I'd better hide."

"Can you hide from the first year of junior high school, can you hide from the fifteenth?"

“……”

Zou Mingfang began to count her husband to her son, and the mother and son had been muttering in the kitchen for a long time.

Director Xiang has never liked to be short at the dinner table, he always listens to Zou Mingfang's mother and son quietly, of course, he will stop him if he doesn't like to hear it, so this family of three is still happy to eat. But today, Director Xiang kept his face tight, which made the mother and son feel that the atmosphere was obviously abnormal.

Zou Mingfang had long noticed her husband's abnormality, in fact, it had been the case for a while recently, so she didn't chat with her son as freely as she did in the kitchen just now. He just vigorously put vegetables into his son's bowl and told him to eat more. As long as her son comes back to eat with her, she is happy, and as long as her son eats well, she is satisfied.

Because of health problems, Zou Mingfang retired early. A woman who doesn't have a job spends all her thoughts on her husband and son. Her world is getting smaller and smaller, so small that only her husband and son are left. Then even she didn't notice it, as long as her husband and son had a little bit of trouble, they would become sensitive and cautious. As long as her husband and son are by her side, she feels at ease. Whether this is a physiological or psychological change in Zou Mingfang, it is unknown, maybe there are both changes.

Xiang Hui naturally didn't dare to speak out, for fear of stepping on a landmine. But his mother served him vegetables, and he picked up the bowl with a smile, and the mother and son looked like a mother and a son.

Halfway through the meal, Xiang Xiang, who was left out in the cold, looked at the mother and son and couldn't help but say, "You won't clip it yourself?" ”

Seeing that his father's face was not as serious as before, Xiang Hui smiled and said to his mother: "Mom, some people can't see the scene of mother's love and filial piety. ”

Xiang Xiang snorted coldly when he heard this.

Zou Mingfang held back a smile and glared at his son.

Xiang Peihong suddenly asked: "You are not too young, I am at your age, you can enter kindergarten." ”

"Dad, didn't I respond to the country's call for 'late marriage and late childbearing'."

"Hmmm! You have responded now, when are you and Qingya going to get married? ”

"Yes, son!" As soon as he said this, Zou Mingfang immediately agreed. She is more anxious than her husband.

Xiang Hui secretly complained in his heart. If you tell them the truth, telling them that this matter is not on the agenda, you will probably have to talk about it all night. He thought for a moment and replied, "She's too busy!" This is a word of shirking responsibility, but I didn't panic, Fei Qingya was really busy.

Xiang Peihong obviously didn't believe it, and put down his chopsticks, "What is the reason?" This is a lifelong event, no matter how busy you are, you have to do it. You young people love to fool around. ”

Zou Mingfang was also glaring at his son on the side.

"I'm not fooling around." Although Xiang Hui responded, he didn't dare to look at his father, but at his mother, still looking innocent. Seeing that his mother was also staring at him, he didn't dare to say anything more, and buried his head in eating.

After dinner, Zou Mingfang cleaned up in the kitchen, and Xiang Hui accompanied his father to drink tea in the living room.

Xiang Peihong has good tea, there are a lot of good tea at home, and he always has to make a pot after dinner. For him, it is a great blessing in life to cook tea and chat with friends who know tea. However, my wife doesn't like to drink tea, and drinking tea alone is always a little less fun. Therefore, every time my son comes home, I always ask him to drink a pot with him.

Although Xiang Hui and Fei Qingya have been dating for more than a year, they have not actually met their parents a few times, so the parents have not urged them to get married. Tonight is the first time. From the beginning of the marriage urging just now, Xiang Hui faintly felt that his father's words didn't seem to be finished. For Fei Qingya, Xiang Peihong has never clearly expressed whether he likes it or not, and he has never asked his son about getting along with her. In fact, he just adopted the attitude of herding sheep and grazing. Xiang Hui is also happy. But now I didn't ask anything as soon as I came up, so I directly urged the marriage. This is completely inconsistent with the cautious style that Director Xiang has always had.

After the third course of tea, Xiang Peihong finally spoke: "What have you been busy with lately?" ”

Xiang Hui replied: "Got a new case? ”

Xiang Peihong didn't raise his head, still looking at the newspaper, "What case?" ”

Xiang Hui replied truthfully: "About land requisition compensation." ”

Xiang Peihong raised his head and glanced at him, and said lightly: "Don't take this case." ”

Xiang Hui immediately understood that his father already knew that he had taken over Yunxi's case, but he was uncompromising. "I've taken it. Dad, you never interfered with my work. ”

Xiang Peihong threw the newspaper aside, "I don't interfere with your work, it doesn't mean that you will be left to do it." ”

Xiang Hui looked at his father and said extremely seriously: "I am very serious about helping people fight lawsuits, and I don't come nonsense." ”

Xiang Peihong's voice suddenly raised, "I let you push it." ”

Xiang Hui's voice also raised unconsciously, "Dad, this can't be. ”

Zou Mingfang, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the voices of the father and son raise, and hurriedly ran out, wiping his hands and asking, "What's wrong with you?" If you have something to say, you can talk about it. ”

Xiang Peihong pointed at Xiang Hui, angry, "Didn't you tell him well?" Don't let him associate with Tu Yunxi, that's for his good. Shall I, the father, harm him? Ask your baby son, what has he been up to lately? and unclear about Ansu's woman. Do you think he's still young? Don't know what's at stake? ”

He finally understood that it was because of this that he was urging him to marry Fei Qingya. He and Ansu may not be involved anymore, but luck is different. Others can disapprove of him, but he can't, and his father cannot. "What's wrong with my relationship with Yunxi?"

Xiang Peihong yelled at his son: "He's a labor camp ......"

Xiang Hui interrupted him sharply: "Dad! ”

Xiang Hui couldn't believe that his father would actually say the words "labor prisoner", he trembled with anger, "Anyone in this world can say this about luck, but our father and son can't." ”

After Xiang Hui finished speaking, he picked up the car keys and turned around to leave the house.

The moment the door was closed, I heard the sound of porcelain breaking from the room.
