Time goes back to an hour ago, in the VIP ward.
While Sheng Shijing and Xie Xihe were staring at each other outside the door, Sheng Huanan and Xie Bowen in the ward were also staring at each other.
"Old Sheng, you..."
"Old Xie, you..."
They both spoke at the same time and stopped talking at the same time.
According to Sheng Huanan's usual temper, he would not give others a chance to speak when he spoke, but this time the other party was Xie Bowen, and what they wanted to discuss was the child's lifelong affairs.
He felt that as a man he should have enough grace.
So he suppressed his impatience and said calmly, "You go ahead."
Xie Bowen looked at him in surprise, but he felt that what he wanted to say was indeed very important, so he did not refuse.
After organizing his words again, he said, "This is what I mean. Regarding your youngest son and my daughter, I have an idea I'd like to discuss with you..."
Sheng Huanan's eyes lit up even brighter. He couldn't wait for him to finish. He slapped the edge of the bed and said, "What's there to discuss? It's settled!"
Then he said excitedly, "When do you think it's appropriate? Let's arrange a time for our two families to sit down and have a meal together. This will also be a formal way for the two children to meet, and then we can have a good talk about what to do next."
Xie Bowen: “???”
He just wanted his daughter to have a foster brother. They already knew each other, so how could they meet formally?
Xie Bowen was confused, but he quickly reacted.
He immediately sat up straight, staring at Sheng Huanan and said, "Sheng Huanan, what nonsense are you thinking about! I'm warning you, don't have any ideas about my daughter!"
Now it was Sheng Huanan’s turn to “???”
His temper flared up, and he pounded the bed, saying, "Xie Bowen, what do you mean?! Weren't you the one who first brought up the matter of having two children? I already agreed to it, but now you're going back on your word. Who do you think I, Sheng Huanan, am?!"
Xie Bowen was so angry!
I imitated him, pounding the bed and saying, "I'm talking about recognizing my son as a relative! I just want my daughter to recognize your son as her brother!"
He was so angry that his face turned red, and he almost yelled: "Don't you think about how old your son is? My daughter is only a few years old. You want your son to eat young grass! Sheng Huanan, I tell you, no way!"
"Forget about the door, there's not even a window!"
Sheng Huanan: “…”
This is embarrassing.
He wanted to marry the other person's daughter as his daughter-in-law, but the other person only wanted to recognize her as his brother. What kind of strange misunderstanding was this?
but……
Sheng Huanan raised his eyelids and became unhappy: "What do you mean by how old is my son and how old is your daughter?"
"My son is 24 this year, and your daughter is 19. Isn't that just a five-year age difference? How can you say you're an old cow eating young grass?"
Xie Bowen: "Five and a half! My daughter isn't even nineteen yet!"
Dedededede!
After all, he had taken a fancy to the other person's daughter, but the other person didn't have that idea. Sheng Huanan, feeling that he was at a disadvantage, did not argue with him on this issue.
After calming down his dissatisfaction and thinking for a moment, he looked at Xie Bowen again, straightened his expression and said, "Put all this aside for now. I just want to ask you a question. Are you raising this matter because you are worried that if you suddenly pass away one day, your daughter will be left alone, and you want my A Jing to take better care of your daughter?"
At this point, it was Xie Bowen's turn to feel guilty, so he suppressed his anger and replied sullenly, "Yeah."
I couldn't help but sigh: "Originally, family disgrace should not be made public, but we have been friends for so many years, so I won't hide it from you."
He paused, a cold look flashing in his eyes. "People outside say that my illness this time was caused by the news of my daughter's troubles in the entertainment industry, but in fact, it was a man-made result."
Sheng Huanan's brows knitted together: "What do you mean?"
Xie Bowen turned sideways, pulled out a stack of information from the bedside table and handed it to him, continuing, "First, these materials. Although we haven't verified them yet, we can basically confirm that someone deliberately placed them on the coffee table at home just to provoke me."
Sheng Huanan simply flipped through it, a puzzled look in his eyes: "Is this what made you fall down?"
"Not really. With how much you love your daughter, how could you get so upset over such trivial and obviously fake news?"
"I'm not stupid, of course not." Xie Bowen said, his eyes darkening as he continued, "But besides this information, I also heard a conversation between two people."
"Basically, she was saying that the reason my daughter entered the entertainment industry despite my objections was because she knew I had an incurable disease and wanted to earn money to buy me a panacea. She also mentioned some other things during the conversation, and I was overwhelmed with emotions..."
Having said that, Sheng Huanan still has something to understand.
It turns out that the old guy was worried about his daughter and felt guilty, which is why he lost control of his emotions and became ill.
As they were both fathers and their family situations were similar, Sheng Huanan could empathize so well that he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
But even though I understand, I still have to say it: "Since you've said that, I'm sure you already know who's behind this. If that's the case, you should find a way out for Xiao Xihe."
Xie Bowen raised his eyebrows and snorted, "A retreat? Are you talking about your Sheng San?"
Before Sheng Huanan could speak, he continued, "Old Sheng, you know your family's situation very well. It's not much better than mine, especially Sheng San's situation, which is almost exactly the same as my Xiao Xi's."
"Why do you think I brought up the idea of recognizing her as a relative? It's just that I saw that she and Sheng San seemed to be getting along quite well. If we recognize each other as siblings, she'll have someone to talk to in the future even if I'm gone, and she won't be too lonely."
He didn't count on his son and daughter-in-law. Xie Yi was a good person, but with such a pair of parents around, he didn't dare to think about him being more favorable to Xie Xihe, so he could only look outside.
Sheng San is a good guy, he's good-looking and seems to have a good temper, but as for him being his Xiao Xi's husband... forget it.
Xie Bowen looked at Sheng Nanhua and sighed, "The relationship in your Sheng family is too complicated. I don't want my daughter to get out of the Xie family's muddy pit and then get involved in your family's muddy water."
The words were not very pleasant to hear, but even Sheng Huanan had to admit that this was the fact.
But he was extremely unwilling to give up this marriage.
This was the only girl he had seen in all these years who made Sheng Shijing look at her differently. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also the daughter of an old friend.
She is the perfect daughter-in-law that I never dared to dream of!
As his eyes shifted, Sheng Huanan suddenly gritted his teeth and risked his life: "What if I say that the Beijing Guards will fall into Ajing's hands in the future?"
"Would you like to reconsider this?"
Xie Bowen was stunned and froze on the spot.
