Chapter 458: As expected, Nan Ba will be the son-in-law of the Duke of Anguo
Ye Tingyu and Nan Bayi came out one after another and saw He Xiangjin walking back and forth in the pharmacy with an excited expression.
His hands were clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white. When he heard footsteps behind him, he turned around quickly.
He Xiangjin was delighted to learn that his son Nanba had returned and that he had been promoted to deputy general. He was filled with joy and excitement, but also with worry and uneasiness.
His eyes were full of pride for his son, but at the same time revealed an indescribable guilt.
I want to see my son and witness his growth and changes with my own eyes.
However, he was afraid to face his son because the mistakes he had made had deeply hurt him and he could do nothing about it.
I really don't know how to resolve the conflict between him and his son.
This feeling of fear of loss and gain mixed with his joy and a deep confusion.
He began to think, thinking about his past and his son's future.
I hope my son can succeed and live up to the family's expectations.
However, I was also afraid that this expectation would become a burden to my son and that he would lose his happiness.
He has owed his son so much since he was a child. He shouldn't expect anything. It would be enough for him to just see him and know that he is safe.
I sighed deeply and decided to bury these worries and doubts in my heart for the time being.
He Xiangjin relaxed his hands gently and looked at his son in front of him with mixed feelings.
Although he looked dusty, unkempt, and even a little sloppy, he knew that his son had grown into a real man.
This change made him feel relieved, but also lost.
He knew that he had no right to ask questions, nor did he have the right to let him call him dad.
Seeing him grow from a gangster to a general, he felt relieved in his heart.
Very pleased.
Nan Ba looked at He Xiangjin coldly, his tone was obviously bad: "What are you doing here?"
"I came to see you."
He Xiangjin had a constant smile on his face, even though his son spoke to him in a very rude manner, it was still difficult to resist the joy in his heart.
"I'm fine." Nanba's face was cold and he was very frugal with his words. "You can leave after reading this."
Ye Tingyu and Du Wanwan sat aside and watched the conversation between the father and son, feeling one cold and one hot.
One is passionate as fire, the other is cold as ice.
He Xiangjin smiled and shook his head: "I won't leave, I just want to see you a few more times."
Nan Ba ignored He Xiangjin and went straight to the backyard. He had no time to deal with the man named He, and he had to wash himself quickly, otherwise Yu'er would dislike him.
He Xiangjin's eyes followed Nan Ba's figure until he could no longer see him, and then the light in his eyes slowly dimmed.
Then he slowly squatted on the ground, holding his head and crying.
Du Wanwan waved to Ye Tingyu, motioning her to go to the backyard, and then drove Du Xiuxiu away.
She and He Xiangjin were the only two people left in the front yard pharmacy.
"Doctor Du! Is he really my son? I, He Xiangjin, actually have such an outstanding son? He became a general, I am so happy."
Sensing that there was no one in the pharmacy, He Xiangjin cried and laughed, and spoke more casually.
He and Du Wanwan are already family, and he never hides his emotions in front of her.
Du Wanwan replied calmly: "You should be happy. Nanba is very brave. To be promoted from a soldier to a general must be a life-and-death struggle."
He Xiangjin was stunned, wiped his face, stood up, walked to the side and sat down.
He felt suffocated by these words: "I know. He has suffered a lot since he was a child."
He Xiangjin felt distressed when he thought of what his son had gone through. He was the only male in his He family, but he had always been living outside.
When they arrived at his doorstep, they were driven out by the ignorant servants, but later they were selected by him and sent to practice martial arts.
Ten people went in and only one came out alive. It was really a life-and-death experience.
"He is a general now and has a certain status." Du Wanwan glanced at He Xiangjin casually, "You should know that there are many people watching him. If he makes a mistake, he may be caught and put in an irreparable situation."
He Xiangjin was startled and turned pale. He was terrified and asked anxiously, "Doctor Du! What do you mean?"
"Take good care of your one wife, five concubines, and eight daughters, and don't try to get close to Nan Ba." Du Wanwan spoke directly, without beating around the bush, "Don't cause a scandal before he voluntarily returns to the He family.
Otherwise, the censors in the capital will be bored and use these things to stir up trouble, looking for opportunities to attack you and your son and rob the shops in the west of the city. Now that the west of the city is so well built, both the ministers in the court and the aristocratic families are eyeing it covetously.
The Duke of Anguo's Mansion is a new noble in the capital, so they dare not do anything to him. But Nanba has no foundation, so he is the best target for them to attack me. Do you understand what I mean?"
He Xiangjin took a deep breath and nodded slightly: "I understand, don't worry! I will definitely control the people of the He family and they will not cause trouble for my son."
Du Wanwan glanced at him and said slowly, "I have something to tell you first. If nothing unexpected happens, Nan Ba will be the son-in-law of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion."
"What?" He Xiangjin almost jumped up with excitement, and the smile on his face could not be hidden. "Doctor Du! Are you serious? The eldest daughter of the Ye family will marry my son?"
"What do you mean your son? His surname is Xie, and his name is Xie Heshun." Du Wanwan deliberately provoked him, "He has his mother's last name."
"No, no, no, Doctor Du! You're wrong. Xiaolian put both her and my last name in there." He Xiangjin laughed out loud, "Thank you, Heshun! She hopes that her son will have a safe and smooth life."
"Really? Can it be understood this way?" Du Wanwan thought for a moment, "It seems to be right. Heshun and Heshun have the same pronunciation."
"Haha! Xiaolian is a kind person. Even though I betrayed her, she still put my last name in her son's name."
"Yes, you are right. Nan Ba's mother is indeed a kind person." Du Wanwan agreed with He Xiangjin's point of view. "Nan Ba was able to return from the battlefield smoothly, perhaps because of his mother's blessing along the way."
"Doctor Du is right. When I get home later, I will go to the ancestral temple to burn incense for her and tell her that her son is back."
"The public security in the west of the city must be strengthened. Once the art studio opens, there will be a lot of customers coming and going, so safety measures must be in place." Du Wanwan took the opportunity to remind He Xiangjin, "From now on, all matters in the west of the city will be handed over to your West of the City Gang.
We strive to ensure that every customer who comes to Chengxi feels safe, reliable, clean and tidy. Let Chengxi become one of the newly expanded commercial sectors in Beijing, integrating leisure, entertainment, shopping and food.”
"Yes, I promise."
He Xiangjin never questioned any decision made by Du Wanwan. She would build whatever she said. She was like the human brain, and he was just the torso and limbs of the human body.
If your hands and feet follow the instructions of your brain, they will never go wrong.
