Chapter 128 I'm on your side this time
Xu Shi'an said nothing, but found Fang Xin's somewhat angry face somewhat amusing.
Fang Xin was stunned and blinked, not knowing what was going on. "Am I funny? Or did the snacks I ate just now get all over my face..."
"No." Xu Shi'an stroked Fang Xin's cheek with his hand. The place where his fingertips touched felt hot as if on fire, causing Fang Xin to turn her face away.
Turning the person's face back, I saw the upturned and charming eyes suddenly become round, "Fuck, what are you doing..."
Xu Shi'an's eyes moved across his face, a sense of ambiguity arose between them, and he moved closer and closer.
Something was wrong. The topic was suddenly diverted when they were talking about the quarrel between Xu Shi'an and his son.
Fang Xin stretched out his hand and pushed him, and the two of them moved a little distance apart. "We are talking about business, please stop doing this!"
The voice sounded a bit dignified. Xu Shi'an raised his eyebrows, let go of the person, and leaned back on the sofa, "I'm just talking about business."
Fang Xin rolled his eyes silently. He thought about the beginning of the matter. Maybe he didn't understand what was going on at Shi'an's job, but An Mei asked him for help, hoping that he could help her think of a solution.
"After you came back last time, you had a quarrel with Uncle Xu, right?" Fang Xin asked tentatively.
The other party was silent for a moment, hummed softly, and said nothing more.
"Is it because of me?"
"Of course not." Xu Shi'an immediately retorted. He pinched his fingertips, sat up and moved closer to Fang Xin. "Don't think too much. It has nothing to do with you."
Seeing this, Fang Xin felt a little embarrassed. Maybe Shi'an's behavior meant that the quarrel between the two people had something to do with him.
“Is it really just because of work?”
"Well, last time I discussed a plan with him, we had a disagreement. We had different opinions, so." He hesitated, "We had a quarrel."
This conversation ended without any further progress, and Fang Xin chose to go home first. When the two of them parted, Xu Shi'an did not do anything extra, but just watched him leave and go home.
He sighed, looked at the dim light in the corridor without saying a word, and after a long time he turned around and went in.
This incident continued until Fang Xin asked Xu Shi'an to go back to Xu's house for dinner. The weather was good that day, but for some reason it started raining in the evening.
He walked in and stayed at the door for a while. The door was slowly opened. When An Mei saw him, her eyes were red.
"Come in quickly, why are you so wet?"
After pulling the person into the door, Xu Shi'an still did not move. He did not want to go forward. If Fang Xin had not begged him, he would not have wanted to come back at all.
I know clearly that Fang Xin wants me to reconcile with my father, but I just don't want to take this step.
Xu Shijie met him, with Fang Xin standing next to him. He didn't say anything, but looked at Xu Shi'an a few times and nodded.
Xu Shian, who didn't understand what was going on, shouted in a moderately loud voice, "Dad."
The other party ignored him and went back to the restaurant, leaving the few of them alone in the restaurant in silence.
Fang Xin stepped forward and held Xu Shi'an's cold hand, rubbing it, "It's a bit cold today because of the rain. Let's eat first."
An Mei was in no mood to care about this scene at the moment and had already followed him into the restaurant.
Everyone was silent during the meal. Usually Xu Shi'an would keep picking up food for Fang Xin, but now he was quiet.
Fang Xin felt a little reluctant. This family had never been so disharmonious before. He felt a little uneasy and left the table early after finishing his meal.
Xu Shian stood up and wanted to follow him out, but Xu Shijie yelled, "Sit down!"
The voice was so powerful that it stunned people in their places. Xu Shi'an glanced at the person behind him without saying a word, but insisted on following him out.
"Why are you leaving before you finish eating?"
An Mei stepped forward and pulled him to sit down. Xu Shi'an shook his head and said, "I'm full."
"Don't I know whether you are full or not? Be good and sit for a while." She looked very anxious, as if this conflict had drained her energy and she looked a little listless.
Fang Xin did not leave. He lay down at the door of the restaurant and listened to the movement inside. He held on to the door frame tightly, hoping that what he had just said to Xu Shijie would be useful.
Seeing An Mei begging him so much, Xu Shi'an frowned and stood for a while before slowly sitting back.
An Mei felt relieved and walked out.
The restaurant was silent for a moment, and Xu Shijie spoke first, "I still don't think the last plan is feasible. You'd better give up the idea."
Xu Shi'an also had a stern face. "You have already handed over the power to me. Last time I said I was just informing you, not asking for advice."
“Bang!”
Xu Shijie slammed the table hard, stood up and breathed heavily, "You will kill the company by doing this!"
The other person lowered his head, and his long hair covered half of Xu Shi'an's face. The expression hidden under the hair was unclear, and a little gloomy if you looked closely.
Xu Shijie's words did not make Xu Shian angry. He smiled disdainfully and said, "Have you ever respected my opinion?"
He stood up while holding onto the table, and tilted his head slightly towards Xu Shijie, his expression surprisingly carrying some sadness, "Every time you say you'll hand over the company to me, you always want to intervene. Since you don't adopt my proposal, why do you still ask me?"
"You are acting recklessly and spending money like water. I'm not an investor here, I'm a businessman!" Xu Shijie frowned, and felt guilty for a moment when he heard Xu Shian say this.
He really hoped that his son could take on the important task and take over his position, but every time Xu Shi'an's methods were too immature, he never considered the pros and cons of things and just rushed into things.
"I'm doing this for your own good. You'd better not use your rights to make a plan. Otherwise, you should go back to Yuexing and continue your training."
Xu Shi'an suddenly laughed out loud, and everyone inside and outside the door felt a little creepy.
"What are you laughing at..."
Xu Shian laughed for a while, then he stopped and reached out to wipe the corner of his eye, which was a tear. "Dad, I don't want to be like you, but I am the most like you."
He rushed out and saw Fang Xin standing at the door. He turned away and left.
"elder brother!"
Fang Xin shouted, and Xu Shi'an did not turn back or stop. Fang Xin immediately chased after him and held him back to prevent him from leaving.
"Brother! You, you don't..." Before he could finish his words, he saw Xu Shi'an's face froze, and faint tear marks appeared on that face that was as cold as the winter moon.
Just the slightest trace of tears was enough to shock Fang Xin.
His heart was in a knot and he couldn't help but touch her. Before he could pull his hand back, he was hugged by someone.
Listening to the other person's strong heartbeat, Fang Xin hugged the fragile person in front of him and patted him, "Let's go home."
In the end, they didn't go home. The two of them sat in the car, looking at the scenery outside. The air was eerily quiet.
Fang Xin twisted her fingers, not knowing what to say to comfort the other person. Just as she was about to speak, Xu Shi'an looked out the window and said, "Don't comfort me. There's nothing to comfort me."
There was a crack in the hard armor, which seemed quite large when you looked closely, but it was hidden so as not to be discovered.
"I didn't comfort you."
"......"
Xu Shi'an didn't say anything the whole time. He needed a quiet space to think. Fang Xin also sat beside him in silence, touching other things from time to time.
"I'm not satisfied." Xu Shi'an suddenly spoke, startling Fang Xin.
He was stunned for a few seconds, then realized that Xu Shian was talking about him, "Why do you say that?"
"For so many years, I have been in Yuexing. Only occasionally when the group has something important to do will they let me go back to play the role of the young boss."
"I have never been the boss of a group. My father won't let me." Xu Shi'an laughed at himself, with some bitterness leaking from the corners of his eyes. "If it were an ordinary person, I would have been very content a long time ago."
He hadn't heard Fang Xin speak for a long time. Through the reflection in the window, he saw Fang Xin sitting quietly in her seat without saying a word, with her head lowered and her hair gently scattered around her neck.
I don't know how long it took before Fang Xin said, "No, it's not that you are ungrateful."
His eyes were firm, and he penetrated Xu Shi'an's shaky self-esteem with trust. "It's just that because you haven't been in the group for many years, your uncle is worried that you can't complete the big plan. It's not that he doesn't love you, it's that you have never spoken your mind honestly."
Fang Xin clenched his fists. "You both wanted the best for each other, but because you didn't speak up, the misunderstanding has persisted until now."
Xu Shian was shocked by what he said. He couldn't see his own expression now, but the shock in his heart was already evident on his face.
"you......"
"Don't say anything else, I think you are the best! I believe you, I stand by you this time!"
The next day, Fang Xin sat upright, not daring to look around. In front of him, a cup of tea was steaming quietly. He swallowed softly, "Uncle, I..."
Xu Shijie sat opposite him, his expression calm and expressionless, as if nothing had happened.
As a person who has experienced many ups and downs, he basically remains calm in any situation. Even though there is no conflict between Fang Xin and Xu Shijie, they can't help but feel oppressed when facing such a situation.
"I know what you want to say." Xu Shijie took a sip of tea calmly, his eyes calm and calm, "You want to say something good for that kid."
Fang Xin smiled and said calmly, "Then why didn't you stop me from coming?"
Xu Shijie paused as he put down his teacup. "Go ahead. I want to hear what you have to say."
After being in Xu's house for so long, Fang Xin was still a little afraid of Xu Shijie. After all, Xu Shijie didn't like to smile, and whenever he sat there he was like a giant Buddha. With such majesty, who would dare to act rashly?
He cleared his throat and said slowly, "Actually, I don't have anything good to say. I just saw that he was very sad these days. I think it has something to do with this incident. He regretted what he said last time."
Xu Shijie looked at the tea table without saying anything, and then heard Fang Xin continue to say: "Uncle, he is very responsible and thoughtful. Since you handed the company to him, it means that you intend to let him manage it, which means that he now has the right to represent and even make the decision."
Fang Xin lowered her head. "I know it's inappropriate for me to say this. I don't know much about the company. He understands that you want to point out the most stable path for him, but is this suitable for him? Have you thought about it?"
"If he doesn't get some experience and be tempered, he will have to live under your wings forever." Fang Xin finally stopped being timid and weak. He said the last sentence with certainty, "You have trained him for so many years, it's time to see the results."
After he finished speaking, Xu Shi'an stood outside the door facing the door for a long time without moving. An Mei trembled a little as she looked at her son's lonely figure, and felt distressed for a moment.
Over the years, the father and son have never gotten along well, and they are like a superior and a subordinate at home, which makes her, as a mother, very worried.
Fortunately, both stubborn people had people around them who could persuade them and were willing to take a step back and offer advice.
