Chapter 436: No light in eyes
Xie Nancheng looked at his father and suddenly smiled.
"Dad, why are you so nervous?"
"I just want to say that you and my mother have been through so many ups and downs for so many years, there shouldn't be any small incidents."
"Are you talking about my female classmate?" Xie's father confessed without being asked.
Xie Nancheng said nothing and continued to pick up the teapot and pour tea.
Xie's father took the initiative to explain, "I've already told you that he's my classmate. Don't be suspicious, and don't imply anything about me. If you came here today, it was because of this matter."
"Then let me tell you, there's really nothing going on between Qiao Kelan and me. If you have the ability, you can go check it out."
"I actually did some research."
As he spoke, Xie Nancheng took out the prepared documents without turning his face away.
He put it on the coffee table very calmly.
"It's true that you haven't been together for a long time, but you've met a staggering thirty-four times."
"That means on average, we see each other every day."
"We also found out that you directly transferred several million to this classmate. I don't know what the money was. If it was a loan, do you have an IOU? Dad?"
"It's not a loan, there's no IOU." Xie's father said directly.
"Then this money..." Xie Nancheng deliberately stopped talking.
"I invested the money in her, so we can start a business together. Qiao Kelan hasn't had an easy time these past few years. She got divorced and came back with her daughter. But there's not much left in her family, and she still has to work at her age. I couldn't bear it, so I wanted to help her, it's that simple."
"Dad, is it just friendship between classmates?" Xie Nancheng asked seriously, word by word.
"Not entirely, but also because she is my first love."
"People want what they haven't got, so she is my only regret in life."
"I know I shouldn't see her so often, but I just can't let her go."
Xie Huaiyu is a real man. He doesn't lie and doesn't hide anything.
He had told his son everything, which was considered as a heartfelt confession to him, but...
These are not what Xie Nancheng wants.
"Dad, what are you going to do next?"
"Buy a house and a car for this aunt?"
"Let her be the third party? At her age, does she still want to be called the third child?"
"No, I haven't thought about it that way." Xie's father immediately denied it.
"So you plan to divorce and marry this aunt?"
“No.”
At this moment, Mr. Xie really had no intention of divorce.
"Then what are you doing now?" Xie Nancheng asked.
"I just...want to help her."
"The money has been paid and the capital has been invested. Isn't it time to end it?"
Hearing this, Xie's father felt a little aggrieved. "I'm retired now, so I can't make friends freely? You mean I should still promise you that I won't meet her? Since you've checked, you should know that of those more than 30 meetings, few of them were with us alone. We were always with other classmates."
"I really don't have any improper thoughts about her, but I do miss the past, and I don't deny that."
"If you ask me to promise you not to meet her, I can't do it."
"Dad, I didn't force you to do anything."
"I just want to protect our family."
"I don't want to lose either you or mom, understand?"
Xie Nancheng didn't get angry, but instead hoped to have a good talk with his father calmly.
"You won't lose us. I know what I'm doing. I know my limits, Nancheng."
"Okay, Dad, you've always been my hero and role model since I was little."
"I have always been proud of you. I hope you won't let me down."
"And...I won't tell Mom about this."
"I also hope you won't do anything out of line."
Just as Xie Huaiyu was about to say something, he saw the waiter come in and start serving the dishes.
"Come on, Dad, try this, it's very fresh."
Xie Nancheng thoughtfully picked up some food for his father, which made Xie's father feel a little embarrassed.
After all, it is the younger generation talking to the older generation, and you can't really scold them like you are scolding a child.
Xie Nancheng used both kindness and force, first giving warnings and then using family affection to persuade people.
I hope my father can restrain himself in this matter.
Of course, he didn't believe Qiao Kelan.
If we can really find any clues, there is evidence that she approached with ulterior motives.
My father will understand everything then.
But there is no evidence at the moment, and there is no way to discredit that woman.
During this period, Xie's father replied to two WeChat messages with a guilty conscience.
Xie Nancheng pretended not to see it.
After the meal, Mr. Xie drove away by himself.
Xie Nancheng called Xu Xin.
"Looking for someone to keep an eye on my dad recently."
"Report everything you do to me."
"Remember to be careful and don't let my dad find out."
"Okay, Mr. Xie. By the way, Mr. Xie, we've checked. There haven't been any suspicious transactions in Ms. Qiao's account in the past three years. She's certainly had a hard life. Her ex-husband was an alcoholic and would beat people when he was drunk. She also has a daughter who's a freshman in college locally, a dancer. She must have returned for her daughter."
"It shouldn't have anything to do with the chairman. Maybe you're overthinking it?"
"I hope so." Xie Nancheng responded coldly.
"Where is my mother today?"
"My wife was with Zhou Han and Mrs. Zhou. They went to an auction together and bought some small items for a small amount of money. Afterwards, they had dinner with some friends together."
"Try not to let my mother know about my father's affairs."
"Tell the people below that no matter what method they use, they cannot allow my dad, that woman, and my mom to appear in the same place at the same time."
"Yes, Mr. Xie."
After hanging up the phone, Xie Nancheng sighed slightly.
When Tu Ran told him about that dream before, he didn't take it seriously.
But now, if Mom really saw Dad with another woman, she would really collapse.
He knew that his mother loved his father deeply.
Because there is only one man like this in this life, and all my youth, body and soul have been given to his father.
On the other side, the Gu family villa.
While the whole family was having dinner, Mrs. Gu asked Gu Xixing about her blind date again.
"Xixing, how is your recent blind date?"
"I haven't found anyone who is particularly suitable. We always meet once and then nothing happens next." said Gu Xixing.
"What are you dissatisfied with, your appearance or your family background? Auntie, please be more careful next time."
"Neither. His appearance, family background, and conversation are all good, but... there's always that little bit missing."
"This feeling comes from being together day and night. Do you think everyone in this world falls in love at first sight?" It was Father Gu who spoke. Although his tone was a little unfriendly, it was much milder than before.
Ever since Gu Xixing agreed to the blind date, he often comes back for dinner, and the relationship between father and son is not so tense.
"Dad is right." Gu Xixing seemed to be lacking interest.
Gu Huan saw this and quickly interrupted, "Dad, finding a wife is a big deal for my brother. Why are you so anxious? Just let him take his time choosing. Why force him? Even if you're just getting along, you should find someone you like."
"What do you know, kid?" Dad Gu didn't pay any attention to his daughter's words.
Gu Huan felt a little sorry for her brother. She suddenly thought selfishly that it would be great if Sister Tu Ran could be with her brother, because there was light in her brother's eyes when he liked that sister.
But in recent days, although he has cooperated with his family's blind dates, he is obviously numb.
But marriages among wealthy families are like this, all based on interests. How can there be any true love?
"Brother, come with me, I have something to tell you."
After dinner, Gu Xixing was about to drive away, but was stopped by his sister just as he was about to get in the car.
"What's wrong?"
"Brother, I went to the clinic to register today, and I saw Sister Tu Ran."
When he heard the word Tu Ran, Gu Xixing's expression changed obviously.
