Chapter 205 Extra: Xie Song 2
In the evening, Xie Yeting returned to the Xie family and saw his parents sitting in the restaurant.
Xie Jun was sitting in the main seat, looking at the newspaper expressionlessly. When he heard him come in, he looked over here.
His tone was flat. "Are you back?"
This indifferent attitude is Xie Jun's usual way of interacting with children, mainly to maintain his dignity in front of them.
Xie Yeting understood his father's temperament and knew that he also cared about him. He nodded slightly and said "hmm".
Shi Wanrou sat next to Xie Jun, smiled at the child, and waved to him.
"Xiao Ting, go wash up quickly, dinner is about to start!"
When Xie Yeting faced his mother, his expression did not remain stern as when he faced his father. Instead, his face softened slightly and he said "OK".
By the time Xie Yeting returned to the restaurant and sat down, the servants had almost finished serving the dishes.
The Xie family did not have a rule that prohibited talking while eating, but Shi Wanrou felt sorry for her son's tiredness from work, so she did not bring up the main topic of the day immediately.
After everyone finished their meal, Shi Wanrou drank a sip of tea to clear her throat before explaining why she had asked Xie Yeting to come back tonight.
"Xiaoli's parent-teacher conference will be held in a week. Your dad and I have discussed it and we plan to let Xiaoyi go."
"We've all been there, but he hasn't. As an older brother, he has to fulfill his responsibilities!"
Of course, there was another reason why she called her eldest son back.
In the past, when Xiaoyi was at home, there was always laughter and joy, but now he is accompanying Xiaoyao to film a variety show, and the house has suddenly become much quieter.
Call Xiaoting back, and the house will be more lively with one more person!
Xie Yeting had no objection to his younger brother attending a parent-teacher meeting for his younger sister.
Seeing that his mother had nothing else to do, he told his parents about his plan.
"Dad, Mom, I'd like you to hold a birthday party for me and invite all unmarried men and women of appropriate age to attend."
Uncle Chang is usually in charge of the Xie family's banquets. It would be more accurate to say that he was "troubling" Xie Jun and Shi Wanrou rather than informing them of this matter.
Shi Wanrou's face changed, and she almost lost her grip on the teacup. "Xiao Ting, what did you say?"
Xie Jun's expression was not looking good either. He spoke in a low voice and looked at his eldest son with a sharp gaze.
"If you don't want to get married, your mother and I won't force you, but if you want to go on a blind date, it's absolutely impossible."
The lessons learned from their generation are enough, and he must not sacrifice his children's happiness.
Xie Yeting had his own purpose, but the idea was too absurd to tell them the truth.
He lowered his eyes and remained silent.
When Xie Jun saw him like this, he knew that he was determined to do this. He was so angry that he even wanted to beat him with a stick.
Shi Wanrou had a headache.
She has been with them for more than twenty years, so she naturally knows that both father and son are stubborn!
If there is no one to mediate, the two will definitely end up in a quarrel!
Compared to those things, she now hopes for family harmony...
"Xiao Ting, I can promise you, but you also have to promise us that you can't get married just for the sake of getting married."
Things like marriages without any emotional basis must never happen again!
Xie Yeting knew that this was a concession from his mother. His tense expression relaxed and he assured her.
"Mother, I promise you."
Xie Jun listened from the side and wanted to say that he didn't agree.
But since his wife had already spoken, he couldn't possibly undermine her, so he could only continue to frown and express his dissatisfaction.
Shi Wanrou was afraid that the father and son would quarrel, so after getting her son's assurance, she quickly pulled Xie Jun back to the room.
After returning to the bedroom, Shi Wanrou walked to the bed and sat down, turning on the glass table lamp on the bedside table.
She held her chin with one hand, staring at the colorful arc of light emitted by the lamp, puzzled.
"Tell me, what exactly is our son thinking? Is he trying to carry on the family line?"
"But he had witnessed all those things in the past. Why did he choose to go down this path?"
Xie Jun was unbuttoning his shirt when he heard this and said angrily, "I think he's been possessed by an evil spirit!"
Looking back on his life, when had he ever been so irrational?
As his son, no matter what the reason, he should not make a decision that he knows is impossible!
Shi Wanrou rolled her eyes at him, "I'm serious! Can you please calm down a bit?"
When Xie Jun met her eyes, the fire in his heart immediately subsided.
He noticed his wife's troubled look, walked over, took her in his arms, and softened his tone.
"Don't worry about it. He's already 32 years old. It's time for him to take responsibility for his own life. As parents, we can't interfere too much."
Compared with the eldest son, the wife is more important.
Shi Wanrou thought about it and felt that what he said made sense. It was indeed not appropriate for them to interfere with their son's decision.
"Forget it. He just said he'd invite people to a party, but he didn't say they'd definitely get married. Let's just take it one step at a time."
The other side.
Not long after his parents went upstairs, Xie Yeting also returned to his bedroom.
The style of the bedroom is similar to that of his office, with a simple black and white style and a simple layout.
Even though he doesn't come here often, the place is always cleaned and the whole room is spotless.
The glass kettle on the coffee table was already half filled with hot water, and the hot steam was shrouding the glass above the water.
The arrangement of things in the room was the same as when he last came back, except for the photo frame on the bedside table.
That was a photo taken when he was eighteen years old.
At that time, he was about to go abroad, and his younger brothers and sisters were reluctant to let him go, so his mother suggested taking a few photos as a souvenir.
The younger brother carried his two-year-old sister on his back and stumbled towards him. Seeing that he could not stand steadily, he could not control his expression and quickly reached out to support them.
The photographer captured this scene, and after all the photos were developed, he kept this one with him.
I heard that some time ago, a maid accidentally broke the glass of a photo frame while cleaning his room.
Afterwards, his mother had someone replace the glass with a new one. It must have been his mother who came to his room and put the photo frame there with her own hands.
Xie Yeting collected his thoughts and went to the bathroom to wash up.
…
At dusk, a dozen bloodthirsty men gathered in an abandoned warehouse, holding dangerous weapons.
More than a dozen ferocious-looking faces had obvious old wounds from knives and guns, and were obviously different from ordinary gang members.
Behind those people was a young man sitting on a chair, with tied-up women and children at his feet.
Dozens of feet away from the warehouse, Xie Yeting stood next to the police, looking into the warehouse from afar.
He couldn't see the faces of the three people clearly, but he could feel his own anxious and complicated emotions.
This time, Xie Yeting was very clear that he was dreaming, but he could not control his body.
He was like a bystander, stuffed into his own body, and watching what that "self" was doing.
"Xie Yeting" received a phone call. A familiar greeting voice came out, and "he" immediately knew who was calling.
Xie Yeting heard "himself" say, "Release them, and I can agree to any conditions you have."
In the warehouse, the man remained unmoved and even scoffed.
"Any conditions? Xie Yeting, you're so bold! What if I say I want the lives of everyone in your Xie family?"
