He Zelin hugged Kuankuan and teased for a while, the little thing slowly became familiar with him, and finally had a smiling face, and was amused by He Zelin from time to time giggles.

Aunt Cao came over at this time and said that the meal was set up and everyone went over for dinner.

He Liancheng's mother stood up first and said to Aunt Cao, "Aunt Cao, you can help take care of the child first." ”

Aunt Cao nodded, as if she had been prepared, holding a plush toy in her hand, she walked up to He Zelin and shook it to Kuan Kuan and said, "Baby, come and let Auntie hug you, and let grandpa and mother eat." ”

Kuankuan's attention was successfully attracted by the big-mouthed monkey, and he pounced on Aunt Cao's hand to grab the toy, and Aunt Cao took Kuankuan from He Zelin's hand.

He Liancheng glanced at me, this glance was full of meaning, and I understood the meaning in his eyes: I was going to start talking about business.

He Zelin was really calm, and it wasn't until the four of us had dinner in a harmonious atmosphere and sat down on the sofa again that he took a sip of He Liancheng's stepmother's soaked Pu'er, cleared his throat and said, "I have a few words to say to you." ”

He Liancheng raised his head and asked, "Dad, your formal tone makes me feel uncertain." After speaking, he turned to look at his little mother and said, "Mom, why don't you give me a vaccination first?" ”

He Liancheng's stepmother looked at He Zelin, and only after getting his approval did she shake her head with a smile and said, "It's just that your father thinks that the children are so old, and the two of you are still so unclear outside, which will damage your reputation." That's why I want you to come back and live. Pick another good day and get the wedding done. ”

When I heard this, I felt that the sun was coming out in the west, and He Liancheng was more surprised than me, so he blurted out and asked: "Nothing to do, either treachery or theft." Dad, don't give me this set of sugar-coated cannonballs, just peel off this layer of sugar skin, let me see if I can accept the cannonballs inside. ”

He Zelin's face didn't look very good, and he asked a little angrily, "What?" Do you just want to go on like this and not give Le Yi an explanation? ”

"Why, I wish I had married her earlier, and I would have given my precious son an explanation." He Liancheng said immediately.

I couldn't interject at all, and I didn't know how to interject, so I watched the changes in the room with a polite smile on my face.

"Then let's prepare for the wedding in a down-to-earth manner." He Zelin said bluntly.

He Liancheng finally laughed, put his hand on He Zelin's shoulder and asked, "Dad, you are honest, have you dug a hole for me?" How do I think you must be qualified? ”

He Zelin saw that He Liancheng responded, so he slowly spoke: "You also know that I am old now, and I am a little unable to take care of the group's affairs, and I have always wanted someone to help me." As for you, you never go on the right path, but you are a good hand at spending money; He Xiao, on the surface, looks quite calm, but is a little impetuous in his bones, and he is in a hurry. So I want to keep both of you around and teach you well. In fact, everything he did was to enter the door of our He family, and he had an innocent and serious background. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have taken the plunge. ”

As soon as He Zelin's words came to this, He Liancheng's face changed, his voice became a little cold, and he asked, "Have you forgiven him?" ”

He Zelin raised his eyes and looked at him and said, "What? Do you really have no room for people? He's your own brother. ”

"I don't have a brother, my mother only gave birth to me." He Liancheng didn't want to say it directly.

"I gave birth to you both." He Zelin also raised his voice.

As soon as I saw that He Liancheng was about to lose his cool before this incident, I hurriedly moved to his side, gently squeezed his hand, and signaled him to calm down.

After he got my hint, he took a deep breath and asked in a steady tone, "Dad, why do you have to let him enter the door of our house?" Why do you have to force me to live in peace with my son? He does whatever it takes to get what he wants, you know? You can even process your relationship history into the public media, you are really ......"

"Liancheng, that's enough." He Zelin's tone was very light, but He Liancheng was abruptly stopped. He looked at He Zelin with a little disbelief and asked, "Dad, are you even willing to forgive this?" Why do you want to magnify any small mistake I make? ”

"Lian Cheng, you sit down." He Zelin pointed to the place beside him and asked He Liancheng to move over from him, "I am strict with you because I have higher expectations for you; I wasn't him because I didn't think about letting him take over my business. ”

He Liancheng was naturally reluctant to sit down, as soon as he talked about it, he would be like a straight tightrope, encountering something and hurting something, and there was absolutely no room for maneuver.

I pushed his waist and whispered, "You go over and ask things clearly, I don't think your father will trust him for no reason." ”

He Zelin glanced at me and said, "If Lian Cheng puts this matter down, I can rest assured that he will deal with anything, but because of this matter, because of He Xiao, he has more and more weaknesses." ”

He Liancheng had already gotten up and sat down beside He Zelin, reluctant to listen to these words although he was unwilling.

People may have their own bottom line that they can't touch, and He Liancheng's bottom line now is that he can't coexist peacefully with Xiao San'er's son.

"Le Yi, I also treat you as a family member, so I don't shy away from saying these things." He Zelin took another sip of tea, looked at He Liancheng lovingly and said, "I know that the foolish things I did when I was young made you very shameless, but no matter what, he is also my son." When he came to our house on the first day, all I had in mind was to train him to be your assistant. All the education he received over the years was to be a good and conscientious assistant. No matter how hard and diligent he is, he can't escape this position. As for you, you have been trained as my successor since childhood, and every skill you have learned is to be a qualified manager and leader in the future, the heir of the entire group. ”

These words should be the first time He Zelin said it, the frozen expression on He Liancheng's face changed slightly, and he wanted to ask something, but he endured it after touching my eyes.

It is not suitable to speak at this time, because He Zelin has already opened the conversation, and as long as no one interrupts, he will say everything in his heart.

Sure enough, He Zelin paused for a moment and then said: "Son, think about it from your perspective, if Kuankuan is twenty or thirty years old and can't officially recognize you as a father, how do you feel?" ”

He Liancheng didn't speak, and neither did I.

We all understand He Zelin's psychology, but we can't accept it. Neither of us can afford to pay for his youthful emotional cheating. I know that there is some truth in what he said, and if I were from the position of an outsider, I think such a request is understandable. However, I am now in agreement with He Lianzheng, and it is impossible for me to sympathize with him.

He Liancheng should be thinking now that when his mother was working hard for the start-up company, his father was outside and loving Xiao San'er.

As long as it is a son, one thing that can never be accepted is that his father betrayed his mother and made a half-brother for himself. These two things, He Liancheng was unlucky to encounter.

"You mean, you forgive him no matter what he did? Is it, Dad? He Liancheng failed to keep silent in the end.

"No, it's not about forgiveness. What I see is his motivation for doing this. His motivation was to get me to admit him. If this goal is achieved, do you think he will not do his best to help you? You really need a right-hand man, in the next hundred years. He Zelin said.

"Dad, his goal is inheritance!" He Liancheng finally became furious.

"Inheritance?" He Zelin smiled, "Give him twenty percent, there is no harm to you, and it is enough for him." He Zelin looked at me, and then at his mother before continuing, "I talked to him about this, and he said that he could not have any property, as long as he could have an innocent background." He said that he didn't want to be able to tell his children who his grandfather was after getting married and having children in the future. ”

He Zelin's words touched me a lot, and looking at He Liancheng again, his face was also loose, but he stubbornly closed his lips and didn't say a word.

"Connected." He Zelin took He Liancheng's hand and said, "The Guizong banquet has already sent out the invitation, and if he takes it back, he won't want to enter the door of the He family again in his life." I didn't sleep all night, and after thinking about it, I decided to hold his homecoming banquet as usual, and you will give him some face when you arrive. If you really can't accept him and don't like him, as soon as this feast is over, I will give him the 20% that should be given to him, and let him run it himself. I don't owe him anything, you say? ”

This is the first time He Zelin has shown his soft side in front of me, his tone is calm and loving, holding He Liancheng's hand as if he is pleading, saying what he thinks in his heart.

I feel that I can't listen to it a little, and I don't want to accept He Xiao; Yu Li, and felt that what He Xiao did was indeed understandable. In this world, who does not fight for his own interests and his own purposes? This trick can be regarded as a conspiracy.

After saying this, the living room fell silent.

He Liancheng was silent for a while, and was the first to break the silence, he looked directly into He Zelin's eyes and asked, "Dad, is it a condition for you to agree that I marry Le Yi?" In exchange for the condition that I join you in recognizing the legal status of your illegitimate child? ”

He Zelin raised his hand and gave him a slap, shook his head solemnly and said, "No, I suddenly agreed to your marriage with Le Yi because you turned over the old incident back then, and I can't bear to let Xiaojiao's daughter suffer like this again." One night, I dreamed of Xiaojiao, and she cried very sadly. I didn't sleep for half a night after I woke up, and suddenly realized that my anger was useless, not only Xiaojiao was not at ease underground, but also delayed you a lot. ”

"Dad, I'm a little more comfortable with you saying that. It's just that I have to think about whether I can attend and make a gesture of fatherly kindness and filial piety in front of everyone. Three days, I'll give you an answer in three days. He Lian Changcheng breathed a sigh of relief and said.

I know that it is difficult for He Liancheng to make this decision, and the time to think about it in three days is really short. It turned out that he would rather give up the entire group than agree to recognize He Xiao as his younger brother. But He Zelin cleverly changed his strategy and changed to play the family card.

He Liancheng's weakness is family affection, he is not afraid of being hard or horizontal, but he is afraid that the old man will say to him with tears in his eyes, Dad can't help it, you empathize and so on
