Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Forest of Thickets
After he finished speaking, Cong Zhilin was also silent. For a while, Cong Yuanxin regretted being so reckless, and he definitely didn't have good results when he came back.
"And when do you think it's going to be better?" He suddenly asked, and now he began to ask Cong Yuanxin's opinion. This is a good question, if you don't marry Song Han now, when are you going to get married?
He swallowed and compromised, "I...... Would like to wait a little longer. It's really early, I'm ...... now If you get married, you will definitely not take care of your family. β
Cong Zhilin nodded, and said tepidly, "Yes." β
Mrs. Song was anxious: "In that case, it is better to get engaged." Last time, it was mixed up by an accident, and it happened that the old brother didn't participate, so this time it's a restart, and it's an official decision on this matter. β
"Okay, I haven't seen that kid in a long time."
Cong Yuanxin felt that he had been put on the board and was about to use the knife, so he almost jumped up and said, "Don't-" What did he say? Don't you need to do it again after you've decided before? Isn't that just admitting that the last time was engaged, so why is he still working so hard to stir up?
Cong Zhilin glanced at him, "Sit down, after so many years of going to school, the more you learn, the more you go back?" β
"NoβI don't want toβ"
"What don't you want?" Cong Zhilin looked at his son a little coldly, and there was a majesty in his tone that could not be refused.
Mrs. Song also watched the conversation between their father and son and did not interject, she has always been very face-saving to Cong Zhilin.
Cong Yuanxin pursed his lips and said softly, "I don't want to get engaged to Song Han." β
"Then you want to say that you are playing casually with your Aunt Song's daughter and your younger sister when you were a child?" Cong Zhilin still asked him calmly.
Cong Yuanxin collapsed and said, "I didn't play with her!" I've never played it! β
"Not to play with you to do that kind of thing?" Cong Zhilin asked.
Cong Yuanxin stammered, he still couldn't say anything about Song Han's druggedment. They wouldn't believe that Song Han would do that kind of thing, and they wouldn't believe that he would be stupid and get tricked, this "excuse" is not clever at all. Ever since his father came back, he had been talking about it coldly. No emotional expression is the most difficult thing to do, although Cong Yuanxin is studying psychology, but it is completely useless in this situation.
Mentioning this matter, Mrs. Song took a deep breath and spoke, "My Xiaohan is not the kind of girl who is casual, but she is not pestering anyone to marry, as if she can't marry her, I think-"
Cong Zhilin interrupted her, "You don't have to say more, Xiao Han is already the daughter-in-law of the Cong family in my heart, although it happened a little earlier, but anyway, she will marry sooner or later, so it's not a big deal." β
Mrs. Song nodded slightly.
Cong Yuanxin knew that he had lost in the matter of being drugged.
"It won't affect your going to school and taking the exam, you can get engaged first, and come back when you have had enough fun and want to get married, which gives you lenient permissions." Cong Zhilin said a little coldly, and then without giving him a chance to refute, he said, "Then this matter is decided, and we will go back and discuss trivial matters together." β
Mrs. Song nodded, glanced at Cong Yuanxin and left.
Cong Yuanxin felt that he was physically and mentally exhausted, and slapped his head on the table. He sat there alone for a long time, and he didn't know when his father left. Now things are back to square one. Do you want to do it again? He asked himself.
Mrs. Cong walked up to him and said softly, "Did your dad scold you?" β
Cong Yuanxin said, "It's not ...... yet"
"Your dad just got off the plane and came to take care of your business, tired like that, and you haven't seen you for so long, don't follow him." Mrs. Cong reprimanded.
Cong Yuanxin nodded randomly, and the sound of text messages suddenly came from the mobile phone. He took it out and found that it was Dai Fei's message: I want to find you at night, don't think that I miss you, I want to mention that Xiao Wenliang to you, anyway, you keep asking~ He was a little excited somehow in his heart, did she finally let you meddle in this matter by yourself. He actually had so many mood swings for this villain thief, and he was really eaten to death. Just for the text message of Dai Fei, he will fight hard. With that in mind, he stood up and ran out.
Mrs. Cong exclaimed, "Hey, where are you going?" β
But Cong Yuanxin ran out, ignoring Mrs. Cong behind him at all.
He ran all the way to the top floor of Huatian Tower, and he was sure that his father would check on the company's progress first when he returned.
Sure enough, when he pushed open his office, he saw his father. He's talking to some of the company's employees.
Cong Yuanxin weakly called "Dad......"
Cong Zhilin glanced at him and patted the employee's shoulder, "You go back first, and then send me the one to see after the change." β
When there were only the two of them left in the room, Cong Yuanxin spoke again, "Dad-"
Cong Zhilin patted Cong Yuanxin's shoulder and said, "I know what you want to say to me, but I want to tell you, you are so old that you can't always live in the ideal world." Sometimes you have to choose one or the other, and you have to choose the one that is better for you. β
Cong Yuanxin was shocked that his father and Duffy told him the same thing.
Cong Zhilin said very seriously, "I also don't like that I haven't seen each other for so long, and I have such an unpleasant quarrel with you as soon as we meet." Your mother told me about the thief, I don't care who you are sincere about the thief and Song Han, the current situation does not allow you to choose anyone other than Song Han. Maybe you feel bad and persecuted now, but after ten years you will be glad of your sanity. β
Cong Yuanxin muttered, "Actually, you said the same thing as her. β
Cong Zhilin was surprised, "So she is not only a thief, but at least she has a positive outlook on life, which is not bad." β
"Really......" Cong Yuanxin shook his head, "I don't know what I'll think in ten years, but I definitely don't like it now." β
"So, you definitely don't want to marry Song Han?"
Cong Yuanxin was a little apprehensive, but nodded firmly, "I don't want to take the rest of my life in order to make up for an accident." β
"Don't you think you chose a thief for the rest of your life?" Cong Zhilin narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"I don't think she'......"
"Should?" Cong Zhilin slowly knocked on the table, "You're not sure about doing it yourself?" β
Cong Yuanxin said very seriously, "Well, because I really like her very much, I think it's okay to take a risk for her." β
"What if we strongly disagree?"
"I ...... I stand by my choice. Cong Yuanxin gritted his teeth. He suddenly remembered the advice that the torture network gave him before, and he said that it was a bad idea, is it going to be used so soon......
