Chapter 204 Filial Piety

Shuang Xu glanced at him: "Didn't you leave?"

He made up an excuse and put the scarf in his hand around her neck: "I forgot to give you the scarf. It's too cold, and I'm afraid you'll freeze."

He wrapped his arms around her, round and round, each time tighter than the last, and Shuang Xu suspected he wanted to strangle her.

“…”

He only pretended to be calm for a few seconds. He was too lazy to pretend anymore, so he simply grabbed the two ends of the scarf and pulled her towards him. His black eyelashes hid the threat in his eyes: "Are you done talking? I'll take you to work on the way."

"We're done talking." Shuang Xu turned around and said to Shen Yu, "Brother, I'm leaving first."

Without waiting for Shen Yu to answer, He Tingzhou hooked his arm around her shoulders and took her away.

Shen Yu stood in the chilly autumn wind and watched them leave.

After getting in the car, He Tingzhou pinched Shuang Xu's left cheek. She hissed softly, "It hurts. What are you doing?"

"You still feel the pain." He Tingzhou said in a sad tone, "I thought that half of your face was still unconscious from sleep."

“……”Shuang Xu slapped his hand away.

"What did you talk about with your brother?" He Tingzhou asked.

"Nothing."

It’s better not to let him know about this, otherwise you’ll have a hard time living in the future, with endless jealousy every day.

He Tingzhou said nothing, but tapped the armrest lightly with his knuckles and glanced at her for a moment with an ambiguous look.

"You were in a bad mood yesterday because of him?"

Shuang Xu looked at him.

"You know he likes you, and then what?" He Tingzhou stared at her without blinking, "Are you shaken?"

Shuang Xu was silent for a moment, unbuckled her seat belt, leaned towards him, and kissed him on the corner of his lips.

She whispered in his ear in a soft and gentle voice: "He Tingzhou, you can be more confident."

He Tingzhou glanced at her sideways. She had already retreated and sat down, turning her face to the window.

He Tingzhou stared at her for a moment, then leaned lazily back in his seat.

The stagnant air in the carriage finally began to flow again, and Old Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He Tingzhou sent her to the foot of Feixue Building. When Shuangxu got out of the car and was about to leave, he pulled her back by her scarf.

"Come back."

Shuang Xu was pulled to him and said speechlessly, "This is a scarf, not a dog leash. What are you doing?"

He Tingzhou was like a domineering and childish kindergarten kid: "Say goodbye to me."

Shuang Xu: "...Goodbye."

He Tingzhou then let her go leisurely: "Go."

Shuang Xu turned around, and Xiao Liao, who happened to be passing by and witnessed the whole process, let out a chuckle.

Shuang Xu acted like a boss: "What time is it? You're late again."

"There's still one minute left before clocking in!" Xiao Liao immediately sprinted away.

I didn’t inquire about the content of the Mid-Autumn Festival show out of respect for the customer’s privacy. However, although the show was led by a great person, there were still many things that required their cooperation in preparation.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and Feixue is busy every day.

The day before the festival, Yue Zifeng came to Feixue to give her mooncakes made by Yue Zizhao. When they were chatting in her office, he accidentally let it slip, and Shuang Xu only then knew that He Tingzhou had quarreled with the commander.

"Is it because of me?" She took a bite of the mooncake.

"Don't take the blame on yourself. The relationship between them has always been a little delicate. Tingzhou is still grieving for his mother's sacrifice, and the commander feels that he owes him. No matter how he disrespects his father, he has to endure it. It will accumulate over time and become a knot."

Yue Zifeng crossed his legs and comforted her, "It's not your fault. You are just a spark on the gunpowder at most."

Frost Preface was not comforted. He chewed slowly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Yue Zifeng said: "But you can persuade him when you have time. He is the only one who is willing to listen to you. Tell him not to get angry with the commander. We all saw how much the commander cares about him. He almost strangled Zheng Zuye to death. The old man doted on Sun Zi so much that he wanted him to pay for his life. It was all because of the commander who protected him and didn't let anyone touch him."

Seeing that she still didn't say anything, Yue Zifeng asked: "What are you thinking about? You don't say a word."

Shuang Xu said in pain, "It's too dry. I'm choking."

Yue Zifeng hurriedly got her some water, gloating: "You see, I was the wisest one. I dare not eat anything made by that little bastard."

“……” Shuang Xu took a few sips of water and finally swallowed the dry mooncake in his mouth.

In a blink of an eye, it is Mid-Autumn Festival.

Shuang Xu arrived at the company early in the morning and busied himself with everyone making final preparations for the evening performance.

Fu Yun called and asked her to come home for dinner in the evening.

The conversation that day uncovered an old scar between the two, but it also removed the nail. In the past few days, Fu Yun brought soup every day. Knowing that the employees in their company have been working hard recently, she brought a lot of soup every time so that everyone could have a share.

"Mom, I have work tonight, so I can't have dinner with you." Shuang Xu said, "I'll go back to see you tomorrow."

Fu Yun expressed her understanding and asked about the time and location of her performance, wanting to go and watch the show: "Your godfather is also free tonight, so we can go together then."

After hanging up the phone, Shuang Xu thought about it and sent a message to He Tingzhou.

【Are you free tonight? 】

She was a little cautious and didn't tell him her purpose directly. She wanted to wait for his reply and then persuade him to go home and spend the holiday with the commander, but unfortunately, that didn't happen.

He Tingzhou replied: [I have something to do in the evening, did you miss me? ]

Shuang Xu was speechless. After thinking for a moment, he told Shu Yang that he wanted to go home and hurried back to Taiheyuan.

In the Chinese bloodline, Mid-Autumn Festival is a very important day. No matter how important the event is, it is not as important as family reunion.

He Xingwei had a rare vacation during this period, so he stayed in Yancheng. But since the argument that day, He Tingzhou never set foot in this house once.

After his son threatened to sever ties with him, He Qiwei was too embarrassed to ask for peace, so he asked Lao Lin to call him in advance and ask him to come back for dinner.

The call was made, but fearing that the young master would not give him face, Lao Lin contacted Xu Zhen specially in the evening and asked him to remind He Tingzhou not to forget the family dinner tonight.

He Xingwei did not like to lavish himself. The military had a frugal lifestyle in their blood. He did not keep a woman, nor did he have any hobbies like collecting antiques. But he raised his son with all the lavish food and gold and jade, and allowed him to live a luxurious life.

There were twelve servants in the house who served him alone. He had not been home recently, and the servants were living a life of luxury.

The chef at home prepared a large table full of dishes. He Qingwei sat at the dining table, waiting from six o'clock to seven o'clock, and from seven o'clock to eight o'clock. When the dishes on the table were all cold, He Tingzhou still hadn't come back.

In previous years, although it was not very lively as there were only father and son, the family was finally together.

This year he was simply the only one left, and the atmosphere was so desolate and lonely that it was heartbreaking.

Lao Lin advised: "Why don't you give the young master a call and bow your head first..."

He Qingwei snorted coldly, "He walked away with a disdain, but I still have to bow to him. From now on, I will just call him dad."

"Then you alone..."

"Can't I eat alone?" He Qingwei said, "Bring me a bottle of wine."

The father and son were both stubborn, and Lao Lin sighed and went to get him some wine, pouring him a glass.

He Qingwei was drinking alone, while Lao Lin accompanied him silently.

When the car sounded in the courtyard, Lao Lin immediately turned around and looked over, extremely surprised: "The young master is back. I knew that even though he said he would not give in, he still cared about you in his heart!"

He Qingwei still had a solemn face, but his happiness was visibly evident. He even stood up and took a few steps towards the door to greet them.

It was the driver, Lao Xu, who came. He bowed respectfully and greeted him, "Commander."

He Qingwei looked behind him, but there was no one behind him.

Old Xu held a mooncake in one hand and a cake in the other, and handed them over respectfully, saying, "Mr. He has something to do tonight and cannot come back to celebrate the holiday with you. He specially asked me to bring you mooncakes and cakes. I wish you a happy holiday."

He Qingwei was silent for a long time before he said, "That girl asked you to deliver it, right?"

You know your own son well. That bastard doesn't even have the word "filial piety" in his dictionary.

It's obvious that this is not his style to be so meticulous.

Old Xu didn't expect that he saw through it right away, and he didn't dare to lie: "Yes..."

He Qingwei said nothing, turned around and sat back down with his hands behind his back.
