Xiang Jingyi didn't offer any further opinions. "Dad, it's up to you to decide."
"I understand what Zhizhi means."
As soon as Xiang Zhengyi finished speaking, Xiang Jingyi's expression immediately changed. "What if she wants to forgive Shen Shixun? You'll listen to him too?"
"Jingyi, as long as what you want to do doesn't affect the company or violate principles, I've given my approval."
"This is a matter of principle, concerning the reputation of the Xiang family."
"As long as Zhizhi is happy, she can do whatever she wants."
"Shen Shixun is enjoying the benefits provided by the Xiang family while having affairs with other women. How can you forgive that?" Xiang Jingyi was incredulous, thinking that Xiang Zhengyi had gone senile.
"I can't live your lives for you, and I can't live Zhizhi's life for you either."
You have to make all your own choices and pay the price for them.
He had already pushed himself to the limit by forcing Xiang Nanzhi and Shen Shixun to marry in order to get rid of Song Ze's shamelessness. If he were to act on his own again now, he would probably incur hatred.
"You can go out now."
After seeing Xiang Jingyi off, Xiang Ciyuan frowned. "Dad, think carefully. Is it possible that Shen Shixun was framed? Was he set up?"
Even if he is wronged, he is not capable of getting out of the current stalemate, and he is not suitable to stay at home any longer.
He can protect his own children, but he can't protect a son-in-law who comes to his door.
"You know very well that he doesn't have the ability to truly confront certain people and things right now."
“I don’t need him to protect Zhizhi, but he has too much pride as a man and is unwilling to bow down to anyone, which is both a strength and a weakness.”
"He is far less capable than he imagines himself to be. With only his strength and limited abilities, and failing to recognize his own limitations, it was only a matter of time before he ended up like this."
Xiang Ciyuan suddenly realized, "You sent him into the mine just to have him deal with Li Luchuan?"
"It's good to discover problems in time, but if you discover problems in time but can't handle the consequences, that's also a matter of ability."
Xiang Ciyuan was speechless, and for a moment he even felt sorry for Shen Shixun.
Xiang Jingyi was certainly aware of this, but he wanted to use it to suppress Shen Shixun's arrogance and make him lower his noble head in the Xiang family.
Even he had his doubts and could guess that it might be Li Luchuan's doing, so Xiang Jingyi must have known about it last night.
"Big brother knows too?"
Xiang Jingyi had the answer in his heart. Indeed, he went into the yard and lit a cigarette. He simply wanted to see how tough and resilient Shen Shixun was.
The bones were much harder than he had imagined.
With one hand on his hip, Xiang Ciyuan said, "Aren't you afraid that Zhizhi will suffer? Shen Shixun is being schemed against and can't get away. You can let him deal with it himself. It's okay for a grown man like him to suffer a little, but what about Zhizhi?"
"She's heavily pregnant with your grandson."
"He's not my grandson, he's a child from the Xiang family, he's my grandson."
Towards the source: ...
"Even if you want her to shoulder some responsibility and experience some hardship, you don't need to use this to upset her or create difficulties for her."
“A capable person can clear their name. If the man surnamed Shen can get through this, he will be able to satisfy Zhizhi and be worthy of her. He doesn’t even have that much ability. I would rather see her cry a few times and become more clear-headed so that she can make her own independent judgment and know who is suitable for her and who is not.”
Even someone as intelligent as Xiang Zhengyi would only consider his family.
"This is far too cruel to Shen Shixun."
You have to understand that he gave his heart to the Xiang family. If he hadn't risked offending Master Zhou to inform them in time about the matter between Master Zhou and Li Luchuan, they might not have known about it even after the contract was signed.
Rise up to justice, for there are many cruel things in the world.
"Zhizhi has already said she won't hold it against them today. She's willing to pretend nothing happened with Shen Shixun, so it's none of your business."
Xiang Zhengyi laughed, "Then you don't understand Shen Shixun at all."
Yes, he understood. After several heart-to-heart conversations, he had a pretty good grasp of Shen Shixun's character.
He has good character and some ability, but those abilities are not enough to make up for the deficiencies in his background.
His pride is also extremely strong, much stronger than that of the average person.
——
After leaving the Xiang family, Shen Shixun drove back to his residence. He was covered in injuries and felt dizzy. He turned on the tap to wash his face and braced himself against the sink.
The water was still flowing, mixed with some blood, and turned a light pink color as it flowed down.
He had stayed up all night, and his hands were about to give way. With a thud, his head hit the door behind him.
The person wasn't knocked unconscious, but didn't want to move anymore, so they lay on the ground and closed their eyes.
When Xiang Ciyuan arrived at the project site, he saw Yang He communicating with other workers from a distance.
Shen Shixun could have just said a word, but Yang He never seemed to understand his place.
He's a director now, yet he still speaks so timidly to people. Asking someone to do something is just a matter of saying a few words; he just needs to be careful with his tone. But what does he do? Every time, it's like he's begging someone for a favor.
The old Boss Zhang, Shen Shixun also came from his hands. On the construction site, Boss Zhang had to suck up to him and flatter him at every turn. But when he came to Yang He's side, Boss Zhang suddenly became arrogant.
Xiang Ciyuan was utterly disappointed; how could Shen Shixun recommend such a thing to him?
He grew increasingly annoyed with Yang He.
Yang He trembled at his shout and rolled his eyes at Ciyuan, "Come here."
Yang He nodded, "Okay, okay..."
Without a moment's hesitation, Yang He immediately followed behind him.
"Don't you have anything else to do?"
"have."
