Chapter 33: The Father-Son Conflict
"You don't need to call Aunt Wu, Aunt Wu will cook my portion."
Deng Mingxuan crossed Erlang's legs, staring at Lin Fang coldly, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a cold arc.
"Xuan'er, that's not what I meant. I, I'm just ......"
Before she finished speaking, Lin Fang lowered her head, her voice was choked, and the corners of her eyes were shining with water.
"Unfilial son, hurry up and apologize to your mother."
Deng Haoxian saw Lin Fang's appearance of being so compromised, he stood up angrily, stretched out his index finger, pointed at Deng Mingxuan, his brows were furrowed, his whole body exuded a domineering momentum, and he ordered strongly.
"She's not my mother, so what right does she have to accept my apology."
Deng Mingxuan faced the menacing Deng Haoxian, his tone did not back down at all, and there was even a kind of coldness of "intensifying".
He also stood up from the sofa, his waist was straight, his eyes were as deep as black jewels, staring at Deng Haoxian stubbornly, and his whole body exuded a domineering momentum, which was not inferior to Deng Haoxian, who had been in the mall for more than ten years.
"Rebel, get out of here, get out of this house."
Deng Haoxian saw that Deng Mingxuan looked like he was right and would never admit his mistake, so he was so angry that he smoked, his face turned bruised, he slapped his hand on the sand chair, his voice was hoarse, he was furious, and he spoke fiercely.
"Is this still my home? It's no longer my home. ”
Deng Mingxuan's eyes glanced back and forth a few times in this once decorated and now magnificent living room, and said sarcastically, his heart was full of complex emotions, I don't know why, his heart began to feel inexplicably distressed, and his heart began to twitch for a while.
Once here, it was his mother's home with one hand to furnish and decorate with the other, but now it has become golden and magnificent, and has lost the warm and natural taste of the past, and has become a cold copper smell. This is no longer his home, so how can there be a place for him?
"Father, eldest brother didn't mean that, you dissipate your anger."
Deng Haoran saw his most beloved father quarrel with his eldest brother, whom he admired the most. Although he hadn't seen his father and eldest brother together for many years, he didn't know that the relationship between his eldest brother and his father was so stiff.
What can be done to make them live in harmony and have a better relationship? Deng Haoxian looked at these two men with similar faces and hostile to each other with a headache.
Although he was well aware of his identity, his mother was only his father's second wife, but he really liked and admired his eldest brother. Although the eldest brother has always been very cold, and his attitude towards him has always been cold, he has always known that the eldest brother's heart has always been very gentle.
"You don't have to say nice things for me."
Deng Mingxuan turned around, glanced at Deng Haoran, who was worried, and coldly refused Deng Haoran's help.
He doesn't need anyone's pity, nor does he need this so-called fatherly love. Ten years ago, he had been living without a father, and he had a mother who had always cared for him and taken care of him, I don't know how happy he was.
And since the man appeared, three years, just three years, his mother left him. If he hadn't returned to this cold home, wouldn't he have lost his mother?
"Haoxian, I'm fine, don't lose your temper with Xuan'er. I'm not aggrieved at all, we want to be together as a family. ”
Lin Fang has also been standing next to Deng Haoxian, and has been persuading in a soft voice. It's okay if she doesn't persuade her, but when she persuades, it simply adds fuel to the fire.
Her thoughtfulness and gentleness are diametrically opposed to Deng Mingxuan's unreasonable, cold and sarcastic attitude, which forms a stark contrast, which only makes Deng Haoxian even more angry.
"Since there is no place for me in this home, then I can go."
After speaking, Deng Mingxuan turned around and strode away, and when he was about to walk out of the living room, he turned around and glanced back at Lin Fang, who was standing next to Deng Haoxian.
Lin Fang subconsciously moved half a step sideways, feeling Deng Mingxuan's scorching gaze, her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, I don't know what reason, her gaze did not make contact with Deng Mingxuan, but her eyelids drooped slightly, and a strange luster flashed under her eyes.
Deng Mingxuan noticed Lin Fang's avoidance of gaze, and there was a trace of coldness in his eyes, and without pause, he strode directly out of the main door of the living room.
Listening to the sound of cars starting from the parking lot, Deng Haoxian suddenly fell weakly on the sofa, his expression full of exhaustion and helplessness. He rubbed his temples a few times and lowered his hand, just sat quietly on the couch and didn't say anything more.
"Father, don't be too sad, it's not that the eldest brother doesn't respect Mommy, he's just a little stubborn."
Deng Haoran saw that Deng Haoxian's face was so bad, pale with a slight blue purple, and his tone was full of concern for his father Deng Haoxian's body.
"That's right, Haoxian. You also have to pay more attention to your body, and you also know that your current physical condition is not optimistic. ”
Lin Fang gently put his hand on Deng Haoxian's temples, and said softly while gently massaging his temples.
"I really don't know how he got to be the way he is."
Deng Haoxian's tone of voice was full of disappointment with Deng Mingxuan, but his expression was lost and lonely.
"Perhaps, we should find him a girlfriend, so that he understands the importance of family."
Lin Fang asked tentatively while carefully studying the changes in Deng Haoxian's expression. found that Deng Haoxian's eyes revealed a faint hope and recognition, and she knew that Deng Haoxian would definitely listen to her suggestion this time.
Deng Haoran, who was sitting next to Deng Haoxian, heard his mother's suggestion, and he agreed with this idea in his heart, feeling that using his girlfriend to impress his eldest brother and soften him was more likely to succeed. He nodded and discussed with his father Deng Haoxian:
"Father, I agree with Mommy's suggestion. If there is a girlfriend who has an intimate relationship with us, then he, as a boyfriend, will also ease the relationship with us a lot. ”
"Then you just go and see if there is a suitable girl."
Deng Haoxian originally heard Lin Fang's suggestion, and began to have some expectations in his heart, but now when he heard Deng Haoxian's analysis, he thought that the possibility of success was higher.
"Okay, then I'll look for the wives around me in the past few days, what are the outstanding girls in our circle?"
As soon as Lin Fang heard Deng Haoxian nod and allowed her idea, he took the task as a matter of course.
"Well, I'll go to the study."
After a long silence, Deng Haoxian's voice full of exhaustion and vicissitudes of life was particularly clear in this magnificent but particularly quiet living room.
After saying that, he got up directly from the sofa, slowly walked in the direction of the study, and disappeared into the living room.
Sitting alone on the mahogany chair in the study, Deng Haoxian didn't know how to calm his complicated feelings, obviously he wanted to repair the relationship with Xuan'er, but he didn't know why, every time they met, they would only quarrel more.
He opened the drawer and took out an old, yellowed photo, the first of which was a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth and a smile full of vitality, who was also gazing at him affectionately.
