After hanging up the phone, Grandpa Sang turned around and walked out quickly, his steps were much lighter than before, "I'm going to the office to ask for leave."
Grandma Sang also hurried into the inner room, muttering, "I also have to prepare..." at least add more betrothal gifts.
In Zhaoyang County, after finishing the call with his grandparents, Sheng Zexi paid the money and left without hesitation. As for calling his father to announce the good news? Forget it. He was afraid that if he called him like this, the man would be so angry that he would vomit blood.
Besides, the old man wouldn't miss him.
In fact, this time, Sheng Zexi was really wrong. His old man, no, to be precise, his father Sheng Xinhao was thinking about him.
In a three-story villa in Jing City, Sheng Xinhao, dressed in casual clothes, was reading a newspaper in the living room.
He usually wears military uniform when working. Even though he was wearing casual clothes at this time, he still could not hide his majestic and solemn aura. With his legs crossed and newspapers in both hands, the nannies passing by walked lightly and dared not make any noise for fear of disturbing the gentleman.
Instead, a beautiful woman in cheongsam came out of the kitchen, holding two cups of tea, sat down gracefully, and placed one of them on the man's table.
"Hubby, have some tea." The beautiful woman's voice was soft, melodious and pleasant.
The newspaper slowly closed, revealing the face of a man behind the newspaper. The man looked to be over 40 years old, with still thick hair, deep facial features, and healthy wheat-colored skin. There seemed to be wrinkles between his eyebrows, as if they were often twisted, revealing a serious look.
If Gu Jianing were here at this moment, he would see that Sheng Zexi and Sheng Xinhao's facial features are 50% similar, except that Sheng Zexi is younger, with sharp and unruly eyes, while Sheng Xinhao, perhaps because he has been in a superior position for many years, is majestic and difficult to approach in his behavior and eyes.
Even though Sheng Xinhao is old, he is still good-looking, and with his current status and position, otherwise, when he was planning to remarry, there wouldn’t have been so many girls coming to him, and many of them were even virgins.
Fang Wanrong was one of them. At that time, she was the head of the art troupe and a famous singer.
In the end, Fang Wanrong, a widow, relied on her own means and successfully married into the Sheng family with her daughter Fang Manping and became the wife of the high-ranking Sheng Xinhao. One year after her marriage, she successfully gave birth to a son, Sheng Zeyu, who is now 9 years old.
Sheng Xinhao put down the closed newspaper, picked up the tea and took a sip.
Fang Wanrong, who was standing by, talked about her son who was in primary school, saying that he had taken the first place in his grade in the exam again.
Sheng Xinhao, who had a rare day off, was in a good mood today. When he heard his wife talking about their youngest son, he nodded, saying, "Ayu is smart and sensible. You usually educate him well."
Fang Wanrong smiled and replied, "No, it's our Ayu who looks like his father. Ayu got first place in the exam this time. I asked him what reward he wanted. What do you think he wanted, husband?"
Without waiting for her husband to answer, Fang Wanrong continued with a smile, "He asked for money. He said it was Dad's birthday in a while and he wanted to save money to buy Dad a birthday present."
Sheng Xinhao's eyebrows relaxed slightly, and the satisfaction in his eyes became even brighter, "Ayu is a filial child."
When we talk about filial children, there are naturally unfilial children.
Sheng Xinhao's face sank slightly, "Has that brat called you recently?"
Fang Wanrong naturally knew who the brat Sheng Xinhao was talking about. Her eyes flickered and she spoke vaguely, "I didn't answer the call when I was at home, but if there was, maybe someone else did."
Sheng Xinhao snorted coldly and placed the teacup on the table with a bang, which startled Fang Manping who had just come in.
Fang Manping was confused and looked at her mother.
Fang Wanrong gave her a soothing look and motioned for her to sit down.
Fang Manping glanced at her stepfather who seemed angry without leaving a trace, and sat down silently.
Sheng Xinhao saw his stepdaughter, but he ignored her as he was angry.
"Don't cover up for him. I think he is rebellious and doesn't want this family anymore. If I had known, I shouldn't have let him join the army."
At this moment, Fang Manping also realized that this was talking about Sheng Zexi.
"Don't mention it's my birthday. After a while, I'm afraid he won't even remember who his father is." Thinking of his eldest son who always disobeyed him, Sheng Xinhao became furious and started coughing as he spoke.
Fang Wanrong hurried over to help him, then handed him the teacup and asked him to take a sip of tea.
"Tell me why you are angry. Don't get sick from it." Fang Wanrong's beautiful face was full of worry.
Sheng Xinhao calmed down after drinking the tea. He patted his wife's hand to comfort her.
"By the way, I recently asked you to find a suitable partner for that brat. How's your search going?"
Although Fang Manping lowered her head to organize the things in the bag, she kept her ears perked up, listening to the conversation between her mother and stepfather.
Fang Wanrong looked a little hesitant. "I am looking for one, but you know that Zexi has a bad temper and has offended many people in the compound before. It is not easy to find him a wife now. But don't worry, I will find one as soon as possible."
"However, you also know my identity. Zexi has always had opinions about me. I am afraid that Zexi will not like the one I find."
Sheng Xinhao also knew that his eldest son, who had always been smart and sensible, had changed since he remarried.
He became unruly and rebellious. Even the child of destiny who was praised by everyone in the compound turned into a gangster-like boy who looked like a gangster. He could look down on his father, let alone his stepmother who was even more dissatisfied with him.
Sheng Xinhao doesn’t understand why Sheng Zexi is like this, is it because he remarried?
But Sang Yuwan died early, he was still young and in a high position, so it was reasonable for him to remarry. What was wrong with that? Besides, even if he didn't plan to remarry, the organization would introduce him to someone else.
Wanrong was a good person. After she married him, she not only gave him a son, but also spoke nice things to that brat and took care of him everywhere. Why didn't that brat appreciate it?
She almost fell out with him, and after joining the army, she didn't even go home during the holidays.
Sheng Xinhao calculated the time and realized that he hadn't seen anyone for more than half a year.
The last time I saw him was on Sang Yuwan’s memorial anniversary, when the boy came back to pay tribute.
But he left right after the worship, without even saying goodbye to his father.
Sheng Xinhao placed his hand on Fang Wanrong's and patted it gently to comfort her, "I'm sorry for wronging you."
Fang Wanrong's eyes were red and she shook her head. "As long as you can understand me, I don't care how others misunderstand me."
Her words made Sheng Xinhao feel even more distressed, and he became more dissatisfied with Sheng Zexi.
But no matter how dissatisfied he was, he was still his eldest son, and even now, he still had high hopes for him.
Especially, he and Sang Yuwan had true feelings for each other in the past.
Maybe, after getting married, that boy's temper will change.
