Chapter 21: Father and son quarrel!
Xie Yanli knew who was outside the door. Every time he talked with Xie Changfeng, Lin Xue would either eavesdrop outside or try to smooth things over. But he didn't care. No matter how she acted, he would not allow that bastard to come in.
Xie Changfeng was irritated by Xie Yanli's words. He gritted his teeth and shouted angrily, "Xie Yanli, who is the bastard? Lin Xue and I are already married. Chen Yu is your half-brother."
Just as Xie Yanli was about to speak, Lin Xue pushed the door open and came in. She first looked at Xie Changfeng and said apologetically, "Changfeng, I know you and Yanli were talking in the study. I wanted to pour you a cup of tea, but when I was about to enter the room, I happened to hear your conversation and I accidentally broke the cup. I'm so useless."
There was a tearful tone in her voice. After she finished speaking, she lowered her head and her eyes were red.
Xie Changfeng knew that Lin Xue was always gentle and considerate. He quickly walked to her side, put his arm around her waist, and said in a gentle tone, "Xue'er, how can you say that about yourself? I know you are always capable. Are you burned?"
Lin Xue bit her lip lightly, then shook her head: "My fingers are just a little scratched, it's nothing serious."
Xie Changfeng immediately went to look at Lin Xue's fingers. When he saw Lin Xue's red and swollen fingers, he immediately frowned: "Xue'er, you said you were fine. I'll ask Aunt Zhou to bring the medicine box."
Lin Xue leaned softly against Xie Changfeng and said softly, "It's just a minor injury, don't worry."
Xie Yanli was too lazy to stay here and watch the two of them being affectionate, so he walked out without saying goodbye.
But before he had taken a few steps, Lin Xue called him: "Yanli, wait a minute. You usually don't pay much attention to me. I want to take this opportunity to say a few words to you."
After she finished speaking, she came out of Xie Changfeng's arms, walked closer to Xie Yanli, and said timidly: "Yanli, what happened back then was all my fault. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Chenyu is innocent, and he has always respected you as his brother. You two are brothers, you can't say that about him."
As she spoke, tears began to fall from her eyes, her whole body trembling slightly, and her eyes were full of pleading.
Xie Yanli looked at the tearful woman in front of him, raised his eyelids and said, "What? It's not enough for you to occupy the magpie's nest, you also want to squeeze that bastard in, dream on."
Upon hearing this, Xie Changfeng's neck turned red with anger. He turned back to the desk and used all his strength to smash the inkstone on the table at Xie Yanli.
Xie Yanli did not dodge. With a bang, the inkstone hit his forehead and bounced to the ground.
Blood immediately oozed out from his forehead and flowed down his forehead, and soon his white shirt was stained red.
Xie Yanli didn't care at all. His eyes were still fixed on Xie Changfeng. He added, "As long as I'm here, that bastard can't enter the Xie family."
When Xie Changfeng saw his resolute look, he froze in place and said nothing.
Lin Xue walked a few steps to Xie Yanli. After looking him over, she complained anxiously to Xie Changfengli, "Changfeng, even if he is wrong, he is still a child. How can you be so harsh?"
As she spoke, she took out a handkerchief from her coat pocket, stood on tiptoe and was about to help Xie Yanli wipe the blood off his forehead, but Xie Yanli frowned and pushed her away.
Xie Yanli didn't use much strength, but he didn't expect Lin Xue to scream, her body swayed and she fell straight backwards, then fell heavily to the ground.
When Xie Changfeng saw Lin Xue being pushed down by Xie Yanli, the guilt that had just surged up in his heart instantly disappeared. He helped Lin Xue up from the ground, and after showing some concern for her, he growled at Xie Yanli:
"You rebellious son, do you still have me as your father in your eyes? No matter whether you admit that she is your stepmother or not, she just cares about you, why do you treat her so harshly?"
Xie Yanli looked at Xie Changfeng and refuted sharply: "Stepmother? Back then, you cheated on this woman and had a child outside. My mother suffered from severe depression and finally jumped off the building to commit suicide. To me, she will always be a mistress who destroys other people's families and is not allowed to see the light of day."
Xie Changfeng raised his hand and pointed at Xie Yanli with a trembling body, "Xie Yanli, I was the one who took the initiative to do that. If you want to blame someone, blame me, not Xue'er. Besides, your mother bullied Xue'er a lot back then..."
Before Xie Changfeng could finish, Lin Xue raised her hand to cover his mouth. She fell into Xie Changfeng's arms, sobbing:
"Changfeng, I want Chenyu to marry into our family so that we can live in harmony. Since Yanli refuses to accept Chenyu, let's not mention this matter for now. Chenyu is a sensible child, and I believe he can understand."
Xie Changfeng glanced at Lin Xue in his arms for a few seconds, then turned to Xie Yanli and said angrily, "You and your mother are both inflexible, so she ended up like that."
"You are not worthy to mention my mother." Xie Yanli's eyes were red, and bloodthirsty anger was rolling in his eyes.
"What's wrong with me mentioning her? Is it my fault that she cheated on me? Is she not at fault? I have been with her for so many years, and I have always done what she wants. As a woman, she is too strong and doesn't have any of Xue'er's gentleness and consideration."
Xie Yanli's brows suddenly revealed a sinister sarcasm: "When you married her, you followed her because you were attracted by the power and status of the Li family. When the Xie family was stable, you immediately changed your attitude. Xie Changfeng, people like you who are so heartless and ungrateful are really despised."
"You...you rebellious son, I will beat you to death today."
Xie Changfeng was hit in the sore spot by Xie Yanli. He rushed to Xie Yanli quickly and raised his arm to hit Xie Yanli but was grabbed by him.
Xie Yanli looked at him sharply and said in a deep voice: "Do you think I am still a child? If you force me again, I will make both of you get out of the Xie family together."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lin Xue and said disdainfully, "You pretended to fall down to gain sympathy, but this method can only deceive Xie Changfeng. Lin Xue, let me remind you one last thing. If you dare to have those crooked thoughts again, I will definitely not sit still and wait for death."
After Xie Yanli finished speaking, he shook off Xie Changfeng's arm and turned to walk out.
"You rebellious son, I want to see what you can do to us!" Xie Changfeng growled as he watched his departing back.
Lin Xue, who was standing not far away, had a gloomy and terrifying expression on her face, and a bone-chilling chill in her eyes.
After Xie Yanli went downstairs, Duan Lingxiao, who was guarding downstairs, saw Xie Yanli with blood still dripping from his forehead and immediately frowned.
Duan Lingxiao has been favored by the old man of the Li family since he was a child. After he grew up, he stayed in the Li family to work. Later, after Li Lan married Xie Changfeng, he followed her and became the steward of the Xie family.
He watched Xie Yanli grow up. In his heart, Xie Yanli was not the young master of the Xie family, but more like his own child. He had long expected that Xie Yanli would be injured, so he called the family doctor to wait here early.
Seeing this, Xie Yanli nonchalantly refused the family doctor's treatment and walked straight out.
"Master, if the eldest lady were still alive, she would be distressed to see you like this."
Duan Lingxiao sighed and said to him while standing still.
Xie Yanli hesitated for a moment, then stopped. He whispered, "Uncle Duan, I'll treat it."
The family doctor immediately came forward to bandage Xie Yanli's wound, and then reminded him that he still needed to go to the hospital for an X-ray examination.
Xie Yanli didn't want Duan Lingxiao to worry, so he responded and left the Xie family's old house and went straight to the bar to get drunk.
When Shen Huaichuan arrived at the private room, Xie Yanli had already drunk a lot. When Shen Huaichuan saw the wound on his head, he immediately understood what he meant. Apart from Xie Changfeng, who else in the entire Jing City would dare to attack him?
He snatched the wine glass from Xie Yanli's hand: "Yanli, you are injured, so don't drink. You haven't gone to the hospital yet, right? I'll take you there."
As he said this, he went to pull Xie Yanli, but Xie Yanli slapped his hand away. He picked up the wine glass on the table, raised his head and drank it down. When he put the glass on the table again, Shen Huaichuan saw that the glass was empty.
Shen Huaichuan sighed, frowned and said, "Yanli, your father quarreled with you because you refused to get married. You just want to marry the person you like, isn't it simple? I will take you to Song Qiao to confess your love. When you tell her everything about Chen Yang, I don't believe she will still be willing to be with Chen Yang."
