Chapter 219: Dejection
Xiao Beisheng hasn't been to the company these days.
He has been locking himself up in Dilan Garden, drinking to drown his sorrows.
He didn't understand why Suman's lawsuit went so smoothly. He had clearly put pressure on the court.
Later I learned that Madam Xiao supported the authorities and asked them to make a fair judgment.
Even her own grandmother helped Suman to break up their marriage.
There is something fishy about this matter.
But he had no idea.
Sometimes he would think to himself with self-mockery that if this matter had nothing to do with Suman, he would not be like this now, blind and helpless.
Emperor Lan Garden.
The huge space was dead and dark.
Tao Jinmei took Luo Yan and opened the door.
As soon as she entered the room, Tao Jinmei frowned at the strong smell of alcohol.
"It's broad daylight, and you don't draw the curtain. And why is the smell of alcohol so strong? Did they move the wine cellar here..." Tao Jinmei pinched her nose, waved the air in front of her, and turned around to turn on the electric switch of the curtain.
The heavy curtains slowly unfolded along the track, and the sunlight outside finally shone in.
The huge living room is finally bright.
At this moment, the two of them saw Xiao Beisheng sitting on the sofa.
If you say he was sitting, you could say he was paralyzed.
"Oh! You scared me to death! You were here, and why didn't you say anything? You were so quiet, and suddenly you saw a living person. Even if it was a ghost, you would be scared to death."
Tao Jinmei complained.
But Xiao Beisheng on the sofa didn't react at all.
He didn't move, his eyes were like a pool of stagnant water, his handsome face looked like it hadn't been taken care of for several days, with blue stubble on his chin. Despite his decadence, one could still vaguely recognize the handsomeness of the former favored child of heaven.
Tao Jinmei walked over,
"Beisheng, Xiaoyan is ringing the doorbell at the door. Didn't you hear it? How could you let her wait outside for so long? She's a patient."
Xiao Beisheng did not react, his eyes staring straight at the void in front of him.
"I'm talking to you!" Tao Jinmei raised her voice.
Xiao Beisheng finally reacted, slowly turned his head, and looked over with a dull look.
"Xiao Yan is in poor health and has just finished a course of chemotherapy. Is this how you treat a patient?"
Xiao Beisheng said: "She is not in good health and should go to the hospital instead of coming to me."
"you……"
Tao Jinmei was about to blame, but Luo Yan stopped her, "Auntie Tao, forget it, it's okay with me. I came here on my own initiative, so Bei Sheng shouldn't be blamed."
"Then he shouldn't have done this to you. Who did your body become like this for? He should be responsible for you."
Responsible.
Responsible.
Responsible again.
Xiao Beisheng's eyes dimmed slightly.
Luo Yan noticed that Xiao Beisheng's face was not right, and quickly said to Tao Jinmei, also to Xiao Beisheng:
"Auntie, don't put pressure on Beisheng. What I do is my own will. I never expect anything in return. It has nothing to do with Beisheng."
"Did you hear that? Xiaoyan is so sensible, but what about you? As a man, you have no sense of responsibility at all."
Tao Jinmei was still scolding him.
Xiao Beisheng said: "Are you done? If you're done, you can leave now."
"You really are..." Tao Jinmei saw that Xiao Beisheng was a little impatient and didn't dare to confront him too much.
He softened his tone and said:
"I went to the company today, and Gao Xun told me that you haven't been to the company for many days?"
She said earnestly:
"You finally managed to wrest the reins from your grandmother, and now you're slacking off. How can you do that? What will the company's board of directors think? If you don't take charge of this huge business, are you going to give it back? After what happened last time, it won't be so easy to fight your grandmother again."
Xiao Beisheng ignored her.
She said angrily: "Say something!"
"The company's affairs are the Xiao family's affairs. What does it have to do with you? You should have divorced my father a long time ago." Xiao Beisheng showed her no mercy.
Tao Jinmei vomited and almost vomited blood.
"I'm doing this for your own good! Don't think that you're the only one in the Xiao family and that your position as heir is secure. Who knows if your father is having an affair outside? If an illegitimate child turns up, your grandmother will replace you in a matter of minutes!"
"Even if there's an illegitimate child, it's none of your business. You should focus on the internal strife within your Yu family. My worthless half-brother is probably not a candidate for the Yu family heir. Your parenting skills haven't improved."
Tao Jinmei was stabbed. Seeing the heated situation between mother and son, Luo Yan quickly interrupted:
"Beisheng, don't talk to your aunt like that. She cares about you."
Xiao Beisheng glanced at Luo Yan, then looked away without responding to her at all.
Luo Yan pursed her lips, a look of unwillingness flashing across her eyes.
Ever since the incident on the cruise ship, Xiao Beisheng felt that Luo Yan was the only one who was in charge of this matter, and he never gave Luo Yan a good look.
She was also wronged.
This wasn't her idea alone!
Tao Jinmei changed the subject:
"Now that you're divorced, put your relationship with Xiaoyan on the agenda. I'll make the decision and you two can get married."
Xiao Beisheng taunted: "When will it be your turn to decide my marriage?"
"I'm your mother! I carried you for ten months and gave birth to you. Why don't I have the right to control your life affairs now?"
"Oh, you should ask Luo Yan. She wasn't born after ten months of pregnancy, so I guess you can't make the decision about her."
"Xiao Yan rejected you before, not because she didn't want to marry you, she had her own difficulties and hardships. Now, she has changed her mind. As long as you give your nod, your wedding can be arranged immediately!"
Xiao Beisheng raised the corner of his eye and looked at Luo Yan.
Although he looks decadent and unkempt now, his peach blossom eyes are always charming and alluring.
"Really? But I don't want to marry her anymore."
Bewitching, yet full of ridicule.
It stabbed the soft flesh of Luo Yan's heart hard.
"Why? You two have come a long way and it's not easy to get to where you are today. Why are you angry?" Tao Jinmei didn't understand.
Xiao Beisheng stood up from the sofa, walked to the bar and poured another glass of wine.
"You must be mistaken. Luo Yan and I were in my previous life. I went with her."
Tao Jinmei stepped forward and snatched the wine glass and bottle from his hands, "Stop drinking!"
Xiao Beisheng glanced at her indifferently, turned around and went upstairs.
"Stop!" Tao Jinmei called him from behind.
But Xiao Beisheng did not stop.
Tao Jinmei was so angry that her chest kept heaving, Luo Yan went up to comfort her:
"Aunt Tao, forget it. He's in a bad mood right now. Don't force him. It's my fault for rejecting him twice before. He deserves to be angry with me."
Tao Jinmei pressed her hand: "Yes. This child is just angry with you, don't let him scare you away."
Luo Yan nodded.
Tao Jinmei added, "He has a good relationship with his grandmother. The reason he was willing to go against her before was because she used her power to make things difficult for you and force you to break up with her. He doesn't say it, but he's always holding a grudge, so when he finds an opportunity, he weakens her power. He did all this for you."
