Chapter 90 Dad, come with me to apologize.
When Song Yinxi opened the door to return home, her father, Song Jingfu, was sitting in the living room, leisurely sipping tea.
"Dad, I'm home."
"My darling's back! Did you have fun?" Song Jingfu smiled and waved to her. "Are you tired?"
"It's okay, not too tiring."
Song Yinxi stared at him for a few seconds, feeling that something was off about her father, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it.
She asked with concern, "Dad, are you alright?"
"What could possibly happen to me!" Song Jingfu said, but inwardly he was thinking the same thing.
He had just met Duan Jinchi's parents today, but he didn't want that kid to get his way too soon.
The matter of the betrothal gifts needs to be handled gradually.
Let them have more time to prepare!
"Dad just misses you."
That's a bit too cheesy.
Song Yinxi gave an awkward laugh. "I miss you too. It's the anniversary of Mom's death in a few days. After the memorial service, you can go back and spend more time with your grandparents."
"Are you trying to get rid of me?" Song Jingfu's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a wronged expression. "Baby, are you annoyed by Daddy?"
"No, no! You can stay as long as you want!" she quickly explained.
She didn't mean it that way; it's just that her father has been spending more time with the elderly these past two years, so it's rare for him to stay by her side for so long this time.
I said that because I was afraid he would worry about his elders at home.
“We installed surveillance cameras back home, and I watch them every day. They’re all in good health.” Song Jingfu stood up. “Let’s eat something first, then go rest.”
"good."
During a meal together, Song Jingfu casually asked, "Have you seen Duan Jinchi recently?"
"No!"
Song Jingfu: "..."
incredible!
He clearly saw with his own eyes that the two of them were on vacation together and even stayed in the same room!
His obedient daughter actually lied to him!
It's all Duan Jinchi's fault; he's corrupted his precious daughter.
Should he comfort his daughter by saying she lied to avoid upsetting him, or should he be heartbroken that she secretly went on dates with that guy even though she knew he didn't approve?
Song Jingfu couldn't figure it out for a moment.
"Don't lie to me..." he said quietly.
Well.
It was a lie.
But lying to him was for his own good, wasn't it?
Her father disapproved of their relationship, so she could only take things one step at a time.
In her heart, her father was definitely more important than Duan Jinchi.
"We're both in Jingzhou, so it's not impossible for us to run into each other," Song Yinxi said casually.
Even when you're not in Jingzhou, you still secretly meet!
Don't think I don't know.
"Elopement is not something to be proud of."
"Elope? Dad, what are you thinking! How could I possibly elope with him? Changqing is my home, and I would never abandon it." Song Yinxi picked up her juice. "Come on, cheers! I hope Changqing will soon break into the Fortune Global 500!"
Song Jingfu also raised his glass, "Okay, daughter, keep it up! Dad believes you can do it."
He felt a surge of relief; his daughter wasn't love-struck.
But a person's life cannot consist of only a career.
Family, love, and friendship are all indispensable parts of life.
His love life was not fulfilling, but he hoped that Song Yinxi's life would be complete, happy, and healthy.
While the father and daughter were having a warm chat, Duan Jinchi was having dinner with his parents at home.
"What did you say!!"
"You unfilial son!!"
Duan Yiping slammed his fist on the table in anger.
"Honey, calm down." Xie Shuya gently patted his back while giving Duan Jinchi a meaningful look.
"Dad, I'm serious." Duan Jinchi seemed completely unaware of the seriousness of what he had just said.
"Trying to acquire someone else's company before was a bit underhanded, and I said some hurtful things... which made her dislike me for so long. Now, my son and I are going to apologize together! Dad, please help me!" He raised his glass. "Thank you, Dad!"
Bearing thorns to apologize?
Has Duan Jinchi lost his mind?
How could someone even come up with such an idea?
"Was this your idea, or did someone else suggest it to you?" Duan Yiping asked with a dark face.
"It was my idea. Dad, for your son's happiness, are you... willing to make a small sacrifice?" Duan Jinchi's eyes were sincere. "Is that alright?"
"no!"
Duan Yiping was so angry that he left the room immediately.
"Husband! Husband!"
Xie Shuya sighed, picked up her water glass and took several sips, trying to calm herself down.
"Duan Jinchi, you...you know how much your father cares about his reputation, so why bring up the matter of 'bearing thorns to apologize'? Is it really that serious?"
Duan Jinchi dared not actually let his father take off his shirt and go to apologize!
He quickly explained, "You've misunderstood. It's not a real act of apologizing; it's just an apology..."
“You said the wrong thing, so you should apologize.” Xie Shuya had also heard how awful her son’s words to Song Yinxi had been.
No wonder Song Yinxi held a grudge against him for eight years!
"Mom, I've apologized to her many times already."
I apologized at least a hundred times.
"She hasn't forgiven you?"
“It’s mainly Uncle Song’s side… I’m afraid he might suddenly get engaged to Xixi.” Duan Jinchi felt a chill run down his spine as he recalled what Song Yinxi had said in the car.
Seeing his expression, Xie Shuya wanted to tell him that Song Jingfu had come today, but she swallowed her words.
Let this brat live in fear for a few more days; after all, he dared to "borrow" his father's face.
"Now you're worried? You pretended to be her husband while she had amnesia, and Song Jingfu didn't even hit you, which is already giving us face." Xie Shuya couldn't help but complain.
Duan Jinchi remained silent.
Mom, you don't know the inside story...
Song Yinxi didn't actually suffer from amnesia; she was just acting.
But he would never tell anyone about this.
It was so embarrassing; he was completely fooled by that girl.
Although he was willing to be "played" by her, this wasn't the way to play him...
"Mom, what should I do if she really gets engaged to someone else?"
"Cold salad".
"Mom, didn't you like her a lot? Weren't you especially happy before? Don't you want her to be your daughter-in-law anymore?" Duan Jinchi started to play the victim.
Xie Shuya had never seen her son like this before. The young master Duan, who had been proud since childhood, had now abandoned all sense of shame for Song Yinxi—not only his own, but also his father's.
"Of course I want to! So you have to work hard and earn it yourself." Xie Shuya stood up and patted his shoulder. "Son, I believe in you!"
In the blink of an eye, Duan Jinchi was the only one left in the huge restaurant.
He sat silently for a while.
Forget it, I'll just have to rely on myself.
At least Song Yinxi's heart is still with him.
At least for now, she will not get engaged to anyone.
He tried to comfort himself, but still felt uneasy all over.
No, I need to video chat with my wife!
Even if she wanted him to livestream himself taking a shower... he would do it!
