Chapter 68: Father and son break up!
Xie Yanli turned around abruptly and said mercilessly: "If Grandpa had half of your philistine spirit of despising the poor and loving the rich, the Xie family would not have survived until today."
What Xie Changfeng hated most was being told that he was incompetent, especially by his own son. His face flushed instantly, veins popped out on his neck, and he couldn't stop shaking all over because of Xie Yanli's courtesy.
He raised his hand and pointed at Xie Yanli with angry eyes, and scolded: "Xie Yanli, you...you are such a heartless person, how dare you say that to me! Believe it or not, if I object, you won't be able to get married!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Yanli slowly walked up to Xie Changfeng, put his hands on the edge of the table, and leaned closer to him.
"Xie Changfeng, do you still think I'm the same kid I was back then?"
Xie Yanli sneered, his eyes filled with uncontrollable resentment: "If you dare to stop me from marrying Song Qiao, I will let everyone in Beijing see how you evaded taxes, cheated on your wife, and hid your illegitimate child in Australia for gilding your reputation."
“You…you dare!”
Xie Changfeng's eyes widened, his chest heaving violently. He stood up suddenly and slammed the teacup on the table to the ground. The scalding hot tea splashed out and dripped onto Xie Yanli's clothes.
Xie Yanli expressionlessly took out a tissue and wiped the water stains on his clothes, then looked at Xie Changfeng and frowned, "Xie Changfeng, why shouldn't I dare!"
Xie Changfeng knew that Xie Yanli hated him so much and was willing to do anything for him, so he pounced on Xie Yanli and his fingers almost poked into Xie Yanli's eye sockets.
His eyes were bloodshot and he was trembling all over as he said, "You rebellious son, the Xie family has relied on the connections and financial resources of the Li family to have its current status. Your mother also put in a lot of effort to make the Xie Group what it is today. If you expose me, it will definitely affect the Xie family's stocks and ruin everything that has been hard-earned today. Xie Yanli, do you understand?"
When Xie Yanli saw Xie Changfeng's crazy look, he sneered. To Xie Changfeng, family affection meant nothing. Nothing was more important than the money of the Xie family.
Seeing him smile, Xie Changfeng panicked. He thought for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Xie Yanli, if you do this, your mother will regret giving birth to a rebellious son like you."
Hearing Xie Changfeng mention Li Lan, Xie Yanli's eyes suddenly filled with bloodthirsty hatred: "Xie Changfeng, you are not worthy of mentioning my mother? If you hadn't cheated on her and betrayed her and had an illegitimate child outside, how could she have been severely depressed and forced to jump off the building to commit suicide by you? If there is one thing my mother regrets the most, it must be marrying a heartless Phoenix man like you."
"You can't blame me for what happened back then. Your mother is too strong-willed. No man can stand that!"
"If my mother is as strong as you said, would she allow a vixen to enter the house with a bulging belly? Would she let you live in glory for so many years? Would she allow that bastard to take the surname of Xie?"
Whenever Xie Yanli thought of the tragic scene of Li Lan jumping down the stairs covered in blood, he would go crazy. He grabbed Xie Changfeng by the collar and wished he could chop him with a knife.
"The day she died was your wedding anniversary. She loved you until her death, but what about you? She has been dead for so many years, and you have never visited her grave once. Xie Changfeng, you still have the nerve to throw dirty water on her now. You are such a beast!"
Xie Changfeng pulled away Xie Yanli's hand that was grabbing his collar, veins popping out on his forehead, and said angrily: "My son actually called me a beast, you are really rebellious! Xie Yanli, I know you have hated me all these years, but if it's your mother's death, don't you have any responsibility at all?"
When Xie Yanli heard this, his face suddenly lost color, and his fingers that were clutching Xie Changfeng's collar trembled slightly.
Xie Changfeng caught all the subtle changes. He knew that he had touched Xie Yanli's sore spot. A sneer appeared on the corner of his lips, and a terrifying sinister look flashed in his eyes.
"Although your mother suffered from severe depression, she was fine in this family for so many years. How come she jumped off the building right under your nose after she went to England with you for more than half a year? Xie Yanli, do you dare to say that you are not responsible for her death?"
Xie Changfeng looked aggressive. He tugged at his tie and took a half step closer to Xie Yanli.
Xie Changfeng's words were like needles piercing his heart. At this moment, he was completely overwhelmed by the overwhelming self-blame and regret.
Li Lan's last desperate smile could not help but emerge in front of his eyes. Her screams as she fell from the building kept ringing in his ears. He was so heartbroken that he felt like suffocating.
Xie Changfeng didn't intend to let him go. He glanced at Xie Yanli and pressed on, "The main reason why your mother didn't expose me or divorce me was because of you. She endured it for so many years for your future. Her death is closely related to you! You indirectly killed her, and you failed to keep an eye on her, which is why she jumped off the building when she got sick."
Xie Changfeng gradually approached, Xie Yanli's mind became confused and his eyes began to evade.
He didn't want to listen any more, so he covered his head and staggered back a few steps, accidentally knocking over the vase behind him.
With a bang, he fell to the ground with the vase. The broken pieces of the vase instantly pierced his back, and soon blood gushed out of his back, but he did not feel any pain at all.
Xie Changfeng forcefully uncovered the scars he had hidden for many years, causing him to return to the darkness of excruciating pain once again.
He half-knelt on the ground, his fingertips dug into his palms. He stared at the floor and murmured dejectedly, "It's me, it's all my fault... I didn't keep an eye on her back then..."
When Xie Changfeng saw him like this, he didn't feel any pity at all, only pride.
He looked out the window at the pitch-dark night, raised his eyebrows, and said lightly, "It's good that you know what's going on. Let's not bring up this matter again in the future to avoid hurting the relationship. It's getting late, I'm going to rest, remember to go to the hospital to check your wound."
The end of his voice was very light, with a casual tone.
This was the first time that Xie Changfeng had the upper hand. After he finished speaking, he walked out with brisk steps. Just as his hand was about to touch the door handle, a suppressed growl came from behind him.
"Xie Changfeng, I couldn't protect my mother back then because I was incompetent, but if you dare to touch Song Qiao, you should know that I am more willing to risk it than you."
Xie Changfeng was stunned for a moment, then slowly turned around and saw Xie Yanli standing in the shadows. He looked at him angrily, exuding a dangerous aura.
