240. You can't be selfish
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to tell my father what had happened in the past few days, and I also told me that I had locked Zhang Du.
After hearing this, my father glanced at me with some relief, but then sighed again, and said bitterly: "It's useless, let him go, I did the same as you at the beginning, but in the end I couldn't let him control it, so don't give up this heart." ”
I smiled nonchalantly and said, "It's up to people." ”
My father didn't continue to talk about Zhang Du, but judging from my father's expression, I was obviously not confident in me, so he said to me indifferently: "Okay, don't mention him." Come with me, I have something very important to tell you. With that, my father turned and walked forward, and I followed.
The building in the middle of the villa area is the largest in the entire Zhang family. It is also the most eye-catching, go ahead, is the lobby, but this corridor is very long, want to go through this corridor. At the very least, it took me ten minutes to walk, which also made me see the difference between the big families again.
Today's father and Steward Zhang are strange, and I can't help but ask curiously, "Dad, what are you looking for me for?" ”
The father did not stop, and continued to walk, and at the same time said with a happy face: "You'll know later." ”
Looking at my father's appearance, it should be a happy event, which made me even more curious, and said, "Dad, just say it." ”
My father couldn't resist me, so he had to say as he walked: "Son, you should know that there are four major families in Liangguang." ”
I nodded, "Yes!" "As I spoke, I was thinking, could it be that today's incident is related to the four major families?
Father continued: "Among the four major families, there are our Zhang family, the Ye family, the Qi family, and the Wei family, and among these four families, except for the Wei family, which does not participate in the struggle, the other three families all compete for their own interests. ”
Hearing my father say this, I couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't the Wei family participate in the struggle?" ”
The father smiled indifferently and said: "The Wei family's officialdom is proud, these battles are meaningless to them, and they don't need to fight, so although they are said to be the four major families outside, they are now about to evolve into the three major families." ”
I nodded thoughtfully, wondering even more why my father had called me back today.
Father paused, and said: "Our Zhang family and the Ye family are mortal enemies, and the relationship with the Qi family is not bad, but the relationship between the Qi family and the Ye family is also good, and now it comes to which side the Qi family is on." ”
After listening to my father's words, I immediately understood that the guest who came to the Zhang family today was the Qi family! I said, "Dad, so today I see if the Qi family is on our Zhang family's side?" ”
My father gave me an approving look, nodded, and said, "That's right, do you know why I called you back?" ”
I shook my head, could it be that my father wanted me to see how to socialize with each other in the big family? So that I am preparing for the future head of the house? It's not out of the question.
My father suddenly put his hand on my shoulder and said solemnly: "The reason why I called you back is because whether the Qi family can stand on our side of the Zhang family depends on your decision. ”
I'll hear it. I looked at my father in amazement, I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time, and I thought I heard it wrong, am I so important? I have nothing to do with the Qi family, can the Qi family stand in our Zhang family, why do you want to say that it depends on my decision?
I was puzzled, "Dad, why do you say that?" ”
The father said meaningfully: "The Qi family has an only daughter, who is about the same age as you, and I have always wanted to let the Qi family stand on the side of our Zhang family through marriage with the Qi family, but your eldest brother and second brother, one is a gambler, the other is an addict, and both are losers, the daughter of the Qi family has been pampered since childhood, how can she look at your eldest brother and second brother, so this has been a problem for me for a long time, fortunately, you are back, you and the daughter of the Qi family are very suitable, and I also told the head of the Qi family about your situation." He also thinks you're very good. ”
"Today is here for you and the daughter of the Qi family to get to know each other well, if the Qi family is satisfied with you, you can get engaged immediately."
After my father's words were finished, my mind went blank for an instant, which shocked me so much. I won't be able to come back to my senses for a while, my father wants me to get engaged to the eldest lady of the Qi family, so that the two families can marry, form an alliance, and deal with the Ye family together.
This kind of thing is very normal in the family. There are even doll kisses who have been ordered since childhood.
But I still don't adapt to the lifestyle of a big family, my mind is still in the love of men and women, and the two can only get engaged if they like each other, this kind of ancient engagement is too hasty. It's too superficial, two people have no feelings, how can they be together.
Besides, I still have an agreement with Li Fei'er, and I have to work hard to make myself stronger. One day I took Li Fei'er back from Ji Yue, I didn't think about such a thing as an engagement or something, and besides, I can't be unfaithful to Li Fei'er.
Come to think of this. I stopped and called out to Dad!
My father also stopped, looked at me suspiciously, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
I gritted my teeth and said reluctantly, "Dad." I can't! ”
The father was even more puzzled and said, "Why not?" ”
I said very seriously: "Dad, you know, I have a girl I like, I can't be sorry for her!" ”
Father listened. smiled and said, "I know that you have a girl you like, and I know that you love her very much, but this does not affect you to have other women." ”
Hearing my father say this, my mind was a little messy, and I said solemnly, "Dad." I really love her and I can't be half-hearted. ”
The father replied: "What's this, you love her, you can also love two women at the same time, you are my son, the future head of the Zhang family, it is normal to have two wives." ”
My father grew up in a different environment from ordinary people since he was a child, and the education he received was also different, and his thoughts in his heart were naturally different, otherwise. He can't have more than a dozen wives, and even he thinks that I have two wives is a few.
But I still couldn't accept it, shook my head and said, "Dad, no, I sweared." I only love her as a woman in my life. ”
"What you swear, it's just a child's idea." My father disagreed with me and said, "Your identity is different from others, even if you marry the daughter of the Qi family, you can marry her." I'm sure she'll understand you. ”
No matter what my father said, there was no way to change my mind, but I still insisted on my own concept and said, "Dad, forget it." I really can't do that. ”
As soon as I finished speaking, my father's face immediately darkened, and he said very seriously: "Son, from the moment you return to the Zhang family, your fate is tied to the fate of the Zhang family, what you do, you must always consider the Zhang family as the first goal, you can no longer do it by your own temperament as before, you must always remember that you are the future head of the Zhang family, you are no longer the previous Wang Xuan!" ”
I listened carefully to what my father said, and what my father said was right, I was no longer alone, since I thought that my name was Zhang Ming. I no longer belong to myself, I belong to the Zhang family, this is the sorrow of being a big family, fate is no longer decided by myself, but by the family. I have glory and wealth, but I have lost my freedom!
My father touched my head and said to me: "Son, you can't be selfish anymore, your eldest brother and second brother are not angry, I have already put the Zhang family on you as a bet, I hope you don't let me down." ”
I found that I was confused, I don't know if I regret it, I regret knowing my life experience, but I really can't be selfish, the affairs of the Zhang family, as long as it needs me, I must do it, whether I want it or not, because I don't have the right to choose.
I took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile as hard as I could, and said, "Okay, Dad, I'll listen to you." ”
The serious father finally showed a satisfied smile: "This is my good son, let's go, follow me in, and see the eldest lady of the Qi family, no worse than your baby Li Fei'er, and even more beautiful than your Li Fei'er." ”
I smiled slightly, no matter how beautiful a girl is, in my heart, Li Feier will always be the most beautiful, forever!
