Chapter 257: Rescue Shen Jie in victory
*This chapter is also known as "In Your Father's House"
"You're outrageous, aren't you?" Xiao Yao said with some anger: "Not only the judgment of thought crimes, but also the judgment ......of prophecy."
"I'm not judging you," Shen Hongsheng touched his nose as he looked a little confused: "I thought you invited me to conduct a soul review of you?" β
Xiao Yao's mind was very confused for a while, and he didn't even know where to refute this completely unreasonable accusation.
"Xiao Yao," Shen Jie said with a somewhat complicated expression, "Did that fat monk also say that he would observe qi?" β
Xiao Yao: "......"
If it weren't for the fact that Shen Jie seemed to have been affected by the "Shadow Father", he could have ignored it.
β¦β¦ No, it may not be possible to ignore it.
When Xiao Yao heard Shen Hongsheng's shadow say the name "Gu Cheng" just now, his heart was actually dark.
In the days not long after he first came to school in the magic capital, and after the confession letter was made public by Wang Ming, he once wrote four so-called modern poems to cope with the composition homework.
"The sky is gray, the road is gray, the tall buildings are gray, and so am I."
Teacher Yuan's comment was: "First of all, poetry cannot be scored, and secondly, take care of the city less." β
Since then, Xiao Yao has heard the name "Gu Cheng" for the first time.
Thanks to Mr. Yuan's reverse Amway, he appreciates Gu Cheng's works and also looks forward to his fate.
It was from this that he began to develop a strong interest in the modern poetry genre of "hazy poetry", as well as those poets.
I still remember that when I first dated Shen Jie in Gongqing Forest Park, I talked to her about Gu Cheng.
Unexpectedly, I was once again associated with this poet here, and it was the keyword "killing my wife".
β¦β¦
Xiao Yao came to his senses, only to hear Shen Jie ask her "father": "You don't like him in reality, is this also because of this?" β
"Yes and no." Shen Hongsheng replied honestly: "At least not necessarily the main reason. The main thing is that Shen Hongsheng doesn't know how to observe qi in that world, he only has intuition, the intuition of a man, the intuition that can sense at a glance that this person may hurt my daughter. β
"You're sowing discord!" Xiao Yao couldn't bear it.
"The so-called intuition...... In fact, it's an investigation of the inner shadow, right? Shen Jie asked thoughtfully, "The sprout of the subconscious?" β
"Shen Jie, don't be taken away by him!" Xiao Yao was a little flustered.
"Don't worry, I don't, I won't." Shen Jie had already recovered from the confusion just now, and was gently turning her face and smiling at Xiao Yao, and comforting him.
Xiao Yao suddenly felt that he was cheated by Yu Bo and Teacher Yao, and the idea of "talking to his father" was simply inferior.
The topic of the father and daughter did not stay on "Gu Cheng", but quickly talked about other aspects.
As a result, Xiao Yao was once again inexplicably placed by Shen Hongsheng in the position of "spectator", no, "listener".
ββ¦β¦ When you get down, I can get you back in 10,000 ways on top, and if I go down too, it's hard to come back again, I say that, can you understand? Shen Hongsheng talked to Shen Jie cordially.
"I can probably understand," Shen Jie replied to her father's shadow, "so even if I am in danger, you can only use the red light on it to help me, I understand, and I have no position to blame you for this matter." β
"If only you could understand." Shen Hongsheng said: "Actually, what you said below moved my father very much. β
"What did I say below?" Shen Jie asked curiously, "Which sentence are you referring to?" β
"You think that bee is the shadow of your father, so you are worried that Xiao Yao will hurt me," Shen Hongsheng smiled: "My heart is very comforted, my heart is very comforted......"
"Uh," Shen Jie said a little embarrassed, "No matter what you do, you are my father after all." β
"Good, good, good," Shen Hongsheng stroked his palm and smiled: "With such a sentence from you, it is worth being a father." β
β¦β¦
"Xiaojie, I don't know when it started, you used to close the door as soon as you got home." Shen Hongsheng said: "Every time I hear the sound of a 'click' lock, my heart will be cold, and then I will tremble. β
"I'm sorry......," Shen Jie muttered.
"If you don't want to stay with me for a while and say a word more, maybe it's my failure as a father," Shen Hongsheng sighed: "Sometimes, I also feel lost and distressed, but someone said to me that my daughter will be like this when she grows up, and when she should let go, she should ......let go."
"Daddy......!"
"As a father, I didn't know how to communicate with my daughter." Shen Hongsheng continued: "How I want you to trust me and rely on me like when you were a child...... It's Daddy who is sorry for you and made you lose your trust in me......"
"Daddy......!"
"In this sense, I should thank you," Shen Hongsheng seemed to suddenly realize that there was a bewildered audience at the scene in this touching parent-child ethics drama, and turned to him: "Thank you for sending Xiaojie to me, and thank you for giving our father and daughter this opportunity to talk earnestly......
"Uh...... You are welcome? Xiao Yao said: "This is my honor." β
"I also want to thank you," Shen Hongsheng continued, "After listening to Xiaojie's words, I immediately showed mercy to the bees. Of course, you won't be able to defeat him even if you don't keep your hand, but I see this as an expression of kindness from you to meβfor whatever reason, you're putting yourself in further danger. β
"Well, what can I say, you're mine after all...... It's mine...... Shen Jie's ......" Xiao Yao said.
Since Shen Hongsheng said kind words, Xiao Yao was of course not arrogant, but he didn't expect that immediately after, an uncomfortable sentence came again.
"So, the only curiosity I have about you at the moment comes from such a question," Shen Hongsheng said, "Why do you imagine that you are a knight when you are so natural?" β
"Daddy......!"
What is this called? What do you mean by "who I am"? Xiao Yao forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and replied without being arrogant or humble: "Thank you for asking me this question. β
"Oh?" Shen Hongsheng said.
"I've always felt that I was a man with no skills." Xiao Yao said.
Shen Jie glanced at Xiao Yao.
"I've also been asking myself, does a person like me have the ability to make Shen Jie's life a little better?" Xiao Yao continued: "And our children in the future? β
"Hmm...... Well? Shen Hongsheng said.
"So I may have subconsciously felt at that time," Xiao Yao said, "Maybe the only thing I can do is to stand in front of them." β
Shen Hongsheng: "......"
"That's my answer." Xiao Yao told Shen Hongsheng.
"It's ...... Something interesting. Shen Hongsheng pondered for a long time, and actually gave a positive evaluation.
It's really "flattering", Xiao Yao thought.
"Also," Xiao Yao added, "it was just what I thought at the beginning, but now I know that there is more I can do than I first thought would be." β
"Oh?" Shen Hongsheng raised his eyebrows.
"I, I'm sure now, I have the ability to bring happiness to your daughter," Xiao Yao declared in a sonorous voice: "Not only that, but I can also tell you responsibly that I will bring positive benefits to the Miwei Group, your company, and the thirty-one thousand seven hundred and eighty-five people you want to feed, far more than District Chief Zhang and his precious son can bring you." β
"Xiao Yao!" Shen Jie exclaimed.
"It's a good thing that young people are determined," Shen Hongsheng pondered for a while, and said, "But you should know that in that outside world, nothing practical can be achieved by bragging and fantasy alone. β
"I know this very well," Xiao Yao told Shen Hongsheng, "but you can also imagine what a person can bring to your business if he has all the information for the next thirty years." β
"W-" Shen Hongsheng said.
"Xiao Yao!" Shen Jie frowned slightly and shouted again.
"Shen Jie," Xiao Yao turned his head to look at the girl, "We are already sitting at the negotiating table, if I want to solve this problem in a peaceful way, I think it is necessary for me to play my hole cards." β
"But ......," Shen Jie said with some hesitation, "Okay then." β
"Even if you are like a lotus flower and speak wildly," Shen Hongsheng said a little forcefully: "For your flawed nature, my assessment is still that the risk is too high for the time being." β
"I think you speak quite reasonably, and I thought it was different from the previous shadows, and I thought that even if you wanted to smear me based on your position, you would at least have some traditional arts such as 'unnecessary' and 'intention'." Xiao Yao spoke with anger in his tone: "I didn't expect to judge the future directly." β
"I'm not a judge, and this isn't a courtroom, so I don't need evidence to convict you." Shen Hongsheng said leisurely.
"You don't need evidence, but that doesn't mean there is no justice here." Xiao Yao said angrily.
"Hey, what's going on with you two grandfathers," Shen Jie hurriedly said, "Wasn't it okay just now, why are you anxious all of a sudden?" β
Xiao Yao swallowed his saliva and said in a calmest tone as much as possible: "Shen Jie, if my understanding is okay, the future that your father has planned for you is to become a noble slut, and he also politely arranged a position for me to be the head of the face, and we seem to have to be grateful to Dade, because if we choose to live an ordinary and normal married life, the result will be that you will be hacked to death by me with an axe, and I will be hanged by myself with a rope - is there anything else to add?" β
Shen Jie: "......"
"Is this a life you can live with?" Xiao Yao asked Shen Jie: "If you think it's acceptable, I'll be-"
"Xiao Yao, you obviously know-" Shen Jie said hurriedly.
"I'm just rereading your father's point of view."
"Father," Shen Jie turned to Shen Hongsheng and said, "I can understand your concern for me and your thoughts about the future, but as Xiao Yao said, your judgment is still too arbitrary and ...... Self-righteous. β
"It doesn't matter," Shen Hongsheng replied tolerantly, "I don't expect you to be able to stand here and accept my point of view immediately, I only ask you to think about it, think about it." β
ββ¦β¦ All right. Shen Jie said a little reluctantly.
"I hope you'll enjoy your time here." Shen Hongsheng announced: "As a distinguished guest. β
"What do you want to do? Revealing your true face, huh? Xiao Yao said vigilantly: "Our friends are still waiting for us outside-"
Shen Hongsheng didn't speak, and his figure gradually began to become translucent.
"Can I prove that I have enough foresight and ability to leave here with Shen Jie and receive your blessing for our love?" Xiao Yao said.
"Let's talk about it if you can get away, young man. The sword in your hand is good, but it can't help this palace. Shen Hongsheng knew that this room didn't need the Scroll to Return to the City, and after saying this, he disappeared completely.
"Thank you for the compliment, I will accept your blessings." At this time, the topaz on the hilt of Xiao Yao's sword began to emit a bright halo.
Shen Jie wanted to speak and stopped.
Xiao Yao stretched out his right hand to Shen Jie: "Do you want to go with me, or stay at your father's house?" β
Shen Jie sighed.
The few seconds of waiting seemed like centuries.
Finally, Shen Jie reached out and grabbed Xiao Yao's hand.
Xiao Yao breathed a sigh of relief.
In the next instant, the two disappeared from the palace.
β¦β¦
Xiao Yao and Shen Jie returned to the "entrance" of the hall, and this time, Shen Jie passed through the mirror smoothly.
All the partners were waiting anxiously in the hotel room that Xiao Yao had opened in advance, and when they saw Shen Jie coming out of the mirror, everyone cheered in unison.
"He let us go." Shen Jie said.
"No, it's your own determination that has grown." Xiao Yao objected.
"Perhaps." Shen Jie was noncommittal.
Shen Jie said before that she would invite everyone to dinner, although a few people politely refused, Xiao Yao still took everyone to the "Little Nanguo" in the western suburbs business district and asked for a private room.
"What's next for you?" During the banquet, Yu Bo asked Shen Jie.
"I don't know." Shen Jie shook her head a little dazedly.
"If you don't have a place to go......" Yu Bo said with some hesitation, "Well, forget it." β
Of course Shen Jie wants to live with me, Xiao Yao said silently in his heart.
Of course, this should not be said in front of Yu Luying's maternal uncle.
There should be no way to go back home, and in reality, after Shen Hongsheng finds out that his daughter is gone, he will definitely lay a net and focus on controlling it at his grandmother's house.
In this case, wouldn't it become very inconvenient to meet Shen Tianyun? Xiao Yao was a little annoyed, feeling that he should have explained it to Tianyun before leaving.
This meal was supposed to be a celebration banquet, but Xiao Yao and Shen Jie were worried.
What will the future hold? (End of chapter)
