Chapter 506 Two Choices
Xu Yusen had very little contact with Xu Likang since his mother's death. When Xu Likang was a child, he rarely visited the old house, and later when he went abroad, they hardly met.
But every time they met, they were always on edge, because every time he saw Xu Likang, he would think of his mother's death, and he wanted this person to be buried with his mother. It was the same now.
He looked at Xu Likang with red eyes and said, "Every time you do something wrong, there are many reasons."
Xu Likang knew he was talking about his mother's death, so he explained, "I was drunk at the time. I didn't know she was the one who took me home. I was so drunk that I told her, 'Your mother and I were young couples. How could I harm her?'"
He felt that he had no way to defend himself. He really didn't expect such a thing to happen at that time.
"Besides, I have avenged your mother. Yuan Lianrong is dead and the matter is over." Why do you still keep holding on to it?
"She's dead, what about you?" Xu Yusen's forehead was bulging with veins, and he could barely suppress his inner anger. If this man wasn't his biological father, he would have him killed.
"Okay, okay, you're trying to kill me." Xu Likang was so angry that he almost died, but he was helpless with his son. He took a deep breath and said, "Tell me, how can you get over your mother's death?"
"You kneel in front of my mother's grave and apologize for three days." Xu Yusen stared at Xu Likang and said word by word.
Xu Likang was so angry that he was shaking all over. "I'm your father!"
"You have two choices now," Xu Yusen said, walking back and standing in front of Xu Likang. He was half a head taller than Xu Likang, and with his fury at the moment, he completely overwhelmed Xu Likang in terms of momentum.
He said, "First, give up your current position. I will be the head of the Xu family from now on. Second, kneel in front of my mother's grave for three days. I'll give you one day to think it over. When you've made up your mind, tell me."
He turned and left. Xu Likang was so angry that he kicked over the coffee table and smashed a few vases. Only then did the anger in his heart dissipate a little.
Xue Lizhu asked the servants to clean up the messy living room and helped Xu Likang sit down. "What's the reason this time?"
"Why? He's already in his twenties. Isn't it right for me to introduce him to a girlfriend? He gets angry with me as soon as he comes home. It's all because of the old man."
Xu Likang yelled again. Xue Lizhu thought to herself, "If you have the guts, you should have yelled like that." But she naturally didn't dare say it out loud. She asked, "Then what are you going to do?"
"What can I do? Just leave it alone!" Xu Likang yelled again, then angrily went to the study. He had never expected Xu Yusen to react so strongly to this incident.
Xue Lizhu watched him enter the study, then turned and went upstairs. She called her three daughters to her side and said, "Did you all hear the noise downstairs just now?"
The three daughters nodded. They didn't expect Xu Yusen to directly confront Xu Likang, and Xu Likang would be the one who suffered the loss.
"So, be careful when you see the eldest young master in the future and don't make him angry." Xue Lizhu said this to her three daughters, feeling very distressed.
As a mother, who doesn't want her children to live freely and not have to worry about other people's opinions? But who can blame her for not giving birth to a son? What should the three daughters do if they don't have brothers to support them and don't have to worry about other people's opinions?
The three daughters were also unhappy. The eldest, Xu Yuming, said, "We will have dowries when we get married, and Dad usually gives us money to spend. Why should we care about his mood?"
"You have money to spend, but after you get married, whether you can gain a foothold in your husband's family depends on your wife's family background and whether her family values you." Xue Lizhu sighed heavily. Although they had no shortage of money, their lives were not satisfactory.
"Remember what I said. Even if you can't please that young master, you can't offend him." After Xue Lizhu finished speaking, she waved her hand and asked her three daughters to go back to their rooms to rest. She sat on the bed and sighed.
Xu Yusen returned to the old house. Seeing him, the housekeeper's wrinkles widened with joy. "Young Master, why didn't you tell me you were coming back? Have you eaten yet?"
"Just cook a bowl of noodles." Xu Yusen smiled slightly. "Have you been feeling well lately?"
The housekeeper has worked in the Xu family for his entire life and has watched him grow up. Xu Yusen has always regarded him as an elder.
"I'm in good health." said the housekeeper with a smile.
"I'm going upstairs and will be back for dinner later." Xu Yusen said as he went up to the second floor, opened a door, walked to the table and looked at the photo of the woman on it. The woman was gentle and beautiful, with a bright smile on her lips.
Xu Yusen looked at the photo in silence for a moment, then took out some incense and lit it, saying, "Mom, I just told Xu Likang to give her two choices: give up her current position, or kneel down and apologize to you for three days. He will definitely choose to kneel down to you, and then you'll see how embarrassed that man is."
He lit the incense and placed it in the incense burner. He turned and left the room and went downstairs. The noodles were already ready. He sat at the dining table to eat. The restaurant was large, but he was alone, empty and lonely. Suddenly, he remembered the lively atmosphere of the Gu family and couldn't help but curl his lips.
Later, he married Sanjing and had more children to make the family lively and cheerful.
The next day, he organized a party and invited a few of his acquaintances. When they saw him, they joked, "You're so popular now. Almost all the socialites in Hong Kong are asking about your whereabouts."
"Yeah, I heard that many women went to the inland capital to block you."
"Tell me, which one do you choose?"
Xu Yusen lit up his cigarette and took a drag. "Who spread the word that I was looking for a girlfriend?"
"Who else could it be besides your father?"
Xu Yusen snorted and laughed, "Will he be allowed to take care of my affairs?"
"He's your dad after all, so I believe it."
"Believe it if you want to. It has nothing to do with me anyway." Xu Yusen smoked a cigarette with an indifferent look on his face. "Let's not talk about irrelevant things anymore. Let's play cards."
Several people started talking about business matters while playing cards. In the afternoon, almost everyone in the upper circles of Hong Kong knew that Xu Yusen had no intention of finding a girlfriend, and he did not let Xu Likang have any say in his marriage.
At one time, many people scolded Xu Likang, saying that he was making a fuss about things he couldn't decide on. This caused their daughter to run all the way to the mainland, but she still couldn't see him. It was really a disgrace to him.
Around seven in the evening, Xu Yusen returned to the Xu family's old house. As soon as he entered the house, the housekeeper said to him, "The master is here."
Xu Yusen hummed and walked into the living room. When he entered, he saw Xu Likang sitting on the sofa with a stern face. He walked over and sat across from him, took out his lighter and fiddled with it back and forth without saying a word.
Xu Likang was so angry when he saw his indifferent expression that his teeth ached. He wanted him to speak first, but he was very patient, more so than his father. So he could only speak first: "I've made up my mind."
