Wei Yunxiu helped Le Zhengxi pour the osmanthus tea, then sat on the single sofa and looked at Le Zhenghong.
Le Zhenghong looked at Wei Yunxiu with an unhappy expression.
Le Zhengxi swallowed his saliva.
This scene really made him feel suffocated.
Wei Yunxiu spoke first: "Uncle, I'm so sorry."
Le Zhenghong snorted coldly: "Oh, what is there to be sorry about, Mr. Wei?"
Wei Yunxiu felt a rare sense of nervousness when he heard Le Zhenghong's "Mr. Wei" which was obviously an attempt to distance himself from the matter.
The last time we met was still "Xiao Wei Xiao Wei".
He said in a deep voice: "Uncle, I'm sorry, it's me who likes Le Zhengxi and is pursuing him. Xiaoxi hasn't agreed to me yet."
Listening to Wei Yunxiu's words, Yue Zhenghong said with a hint of anger: "Do you think you can call Xiaoxi?"
Hearing Le Zhenghong's not-so-good tone, Le Zhengxi couldn't help but shout, "Dad!"
Jiang Wanrong immediately pulled Le Zhengxi.
Le Zhengxi immediately turned around and looked at his mother.
Jiang Wanrong shook her head.
Wei Yunxiu said slowly, "Uncle, I know you might not understand, but... I still want to make my position clear. This isn't a spur-of-the-moment decision. I'm already 26 years old, and after careful consideration of our future, I hope to be with Le Zhengxi..."
His expression was calm, and even when he was choosing his words, when his narrow eyes narrowed slightly, a faint sense of oppression naturally emanated from his body.
Wei Yunxiu seemed to realize that he might be a little serious and tried to relax himself.
Le Zhenghong was a little shocked for a moment, but he immediately said: "What are you considering? My son is only 21 years old. He is so young and you want to take care of his whole life? I also want him to have a few more relationships so that he won't be able to judge people too well."
Listening to Le Zhenghong's aggressive tone, Le Zhengxi couldn't help but said directly: "Dad! He is just pursuing me... Why are you talking to him like a father-in-law?"
Le Zhenghong froze.
He then sneered: "Oh, Xiaoxi is right. What else can I say to you?"
Le Zhengxi: ...That’s not what he meant.
Wei Yunxiu was about to continue speaking when he was interrupted by Le Zhengxi.
Le Zhengxi asked seriously: "Dad, I want to ask, if I don't want to have children in the future, do you agree?"
Le Zhenghong's voice was as loud as a bell: "If you want to have a baby, then have one. If you don't want to have one, then don't have one. But whether you have one or not, you can't be with a man."
Le Zhengxi pursed his lips and said, "...Dad, since you don't care about things like continuing the family line, why are you against me being with a boy?"
Jiang Wanrong listened to Le Zhengxi's words and sighed.
Xiaoxi was still anxious.
Fortunately, she had already given Le Zhenghong a heads-up on the train.
Le Zhenghong angrily said, "What kind of talk is that about being with a man? How can I tell my relatives about that?!"
"...I don't know what to say, but it shouldn't be a joke." Le Zhengxi looked at Le Zhenghong, a sneer curling up at the corner of his lips, "Besides, Dad, why do you still care about those relatives?"
Le Zhenghong choked.
When something happens at home, the only help relatives provide is a few verbal questions.
Even when Jiang Wanrong begged for money, he refused to lend it to her.
When they heard that he was in jail, they wanted to cut off all ties with their family.
"Besides, is Wei Yunxiu not good enough?" Le Zhengxi stood up and stood beside Wei Yunxiu, looking at Le Zhenghong. "Even if I told the whole world about the CEO of Genting, they would just say that I, Le Zhengxi, am not worthy of him."
"Why are you not worthy?! You have almost 30 million fans. Was Wei Yunxiu as good as you at your age?!" Le Zhenghong said angrily, "You make a lot of money every day!"
Wei Yunxiu was stunned when he heard what Le Zhenghong said.
Thirty million fans?
Did Le Zhengxi's father remember it wrong, or was Le Zhengxi...hiding something else from him?
Wei Yunxiu felt helpless when he thought of the latter possibility.
How many "surprises" does this little liar have that he doesn't know about?
Le Zhengxi looked at Le Zhenghong, pursed his lips tightly, and took a deep breath to calm himself down.
After a while, he softened his voice: "Dad... I'm sorry, I was too harsh just now. I just wanted to say that I think... I like it, and it should be more important than other people's opinions."
Looking at Le Zhengxi, who rarely talked back to him but suddenly softened, Le Zhenghong suddenly felt a pang in his heart.
Jiang Wanrong had already told him on the way here.
She said that if Xiaoxi said anything, he must not get angry or collapse. Xiaoxi had already endured enough because of the two of them. If he cared about his son, he should not be stubborn.
Le Zhenghong's mind is actually as clear as a mirror.
Le Zhengxi took on responsibility too early. At just fifteen, he was already grappling with family matters, no longer arguing with his parents over trivial matters like studying or playing with his phone, like other children did. He even stopped asking them for pocket money.
It would be a lie to say I don’t feel sad.
only......
"I can't accept it." Le Zhenghong looked at Wei Yunxiu.
"...Dad, can you tell me why?" Le Zhengxi tried to calm himself down.
Le Zhenghong didn't say anything.
Why?
Because men just can't be with men! Why is that?
Jiang Wanrong looked at the stalemate between the father and son and said directly, "Forget it, forget it. Your father just can't figure it out at the moment. Let him figure it out on his own."
"No matter how long I try, it's useless!" Le Zhenghong said angrily to Jiang Wanrong.
"Think about it right now!" Jiang Wanrong looked at Le Zhenghong with a smile. "I told you so much on the way here, but it was all in vain, wasn't it?"
Le Zhenghong: ...
He refused.
"Wei Yunxiu, come with me. I have something to tell you." Jiang Wanrong stood up and called Wei Yunxiu away in front of Le Zhengxi.
"Mom..." Le Zhengxi looked at Jiang Wanrong with some concern.
"You stay here and look after your father." Jiang Wanrong would not tolerate any refusal.
Wei Yunxiu stood up and followed Jiang Wanrong to the study room.
Jiang Wanrong sighed, looked at Wei Yunxiu, and said seriously, "Wei Yunxiu, what I want to say is that I agree with you being with Xiaoxi because I feel sorry for Le Zhengxi. He is a very independent and filial child. I don't want him to miss the person he likes because of us."
Wei Yunxiu nodded seriously: "I know, Auntie."
