Thinking of how much Song Guochao had contributed to the original owner's tragic death, Song Xuanhe was almost amused by the words "I can't do it".
Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but this saying doesn't work for Song Guochao, who is in his forties and still dominated by his two sons. On the contrary, if possible, he might want to expel them from the Song family as soon as possible. After all, there is only one Song family, and it is not a problem for him to have a son if he wants.
In fact, the tragedy that the original owner suffered in the book was also related to Song Guochao's intention to raise him into obsolete. Later, when he learned that Song Xuanhe had offended the heir of the Xiao family, he immediately decided to kill his own relative for the sake of justice. He not only expelled Song Xuanhe from the Song family, but also gave him to Xiao Yuanmu, hoping to calm his anger caused by what he had experienced with Song Xuanhe before.
However, Song Guochao's wishful thinking was wrong. Xiao Yuanmu was cold, gloomy, and moody. He had thousands of ways to take revenge on Song Xuanhe, so he would not pay attention to the "peace letter" handed over by the Song family, whom he had hated for a long time. So not only did he directly order people to release Song Xuanhe, but also after a banquet not long after, he commented on the Song family in front of the entire upper circle of the imperial capital: cold-blooded and ruthless.
It was this sentence that became the fuse for the collapse of the Song family building.
Although in Song Xuanhe's opinion, no one in this book can be as cold-blooded and ruthless as the protagonist Xiao Yuanmu, his evaluation is indeed correct. Song Guochao is not only cold-blooded and ruthless, but also extremely hypocritical.
While Song Guochao expelled Song Xuanhe in the name of sacrificing family ties for the greater good, he acted like a loving father and acted helplessly in public, seizing the opportunity to control public opinion. Even though some people in the circle thought that he disregarded family affection, no one criticized him for it. After all, before this, these people saw how rude and rebellious Song Xuanhe was, and how helpless and magnanimous Song Guochao was. In their opinion, Song Guochao's behavior was a last resort, sacrificing pawns to save the king.
It was precisely because Song Guochao had acted too much like a "benevolent father" before that Song Xuanhe was deserted by his friends and relatives overnight. Not only did no one help him, but he was also kicked when he was down.
This is also the reason why Song Xuanhe must break up with Song Guochao. No matter what happens in the future, he will never let Song Guochao maintain the image of a "generous and tolerant" father to cheat him.
So when Song Xuanhe heard these words, he sneered sincerely, both because Song Guochao "couldn't bring himself to do it" and because he was so reckless as to want to lay his hands on Xiao Yuanmu.
However, there is nothing wrong in letting Song Guochao attract some hatred for him.
"Dad, now you not only don't let go of young women, you don't even want to let go of young men?"
Song Guochao was not angered by Song Xuanhe's sarcastic words. He just threatened in a cold voice: "Although I can't completely decide the Song family, I still have the right to expel him from the company. You are not young anymore. You should learn to be sensible in the future and don't lose face for my Song family."
Hearing this, Song Xuanhe finally showed some resentment, but it was only for a moment, and he quickly covered it up and said, "Even if he doesn't go to work, I can still support him. Am I afraid of you?"
"Are you sure he will stay with you after he can't stay in the Song family?" Song Guochao saw through Song Xuanhe's hesitation at a glance, knowing that he had grasped his weakness. Although he hated that he cared so much about a man, he also knew that if he made good use of this matter, his life would be much more comfortable in the future.
"Of course I have a way to keep him!"
"Use people from the welfare home?" Song Guochao sneered, "The power of our Song family is not for you to use to bully men and women. If you dare to use this to threaten him, I will naturally help him for the sake of the Song family's reputation. What bargaining chips do you have at that time?"
Song Xuanhe gritted his teeth and finally returned to his room in a rage.
After closing the door, the anger on Song Xuanhe's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a gloating smile. If Song Guochao and Xiao Yuanmu were to confront each other, when Xiao Yuanmu dealt with him in the future, Song Guochao would not easily compromise even for his own life, let alone send him to Xiao Yuanmu to plead for mercy.
When Song Guochao and Xiao Yuanmu start fighting, he can just take advantage of the chaos to escape. As long as he can hold on for two years and return to his own world, he will have nothing to fear.
After going over the plan in his mind, Song Xuanhe relaxed a lot. After washing up casually, he lay on the bed in the room which was bigger and softer than the one in the small villa over there. He breathed a sigh of relief. It was a rare time that he didn't have to live under the same roof with Xiao Yuanmu. His nerves and muscles were truly relaxed, and he began to think about the reasons for the deviation of the plot tonight.
On the way back from the barbecue restaurant, Song Xuanhe had been thinking about the reason why Xiao Yuanmu deviated from the plot. Although the system said that such things were not uncommon, Xiao Yuanmu had never deviated from the plot before. He deviated today, so there must be some triggering reason.
However, no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't find the reason. The only possible thing that seemed possible to him was that he had unconsciously deviated from his character setting.
Song Xuanhe knew his own capabilities very well. In the original world, he lived a life of freedom. Even when facing a family with ulterior motives and scheming, he would fight back on the spot when he was in a bad mood. The only person he could not fight back was his grandfather. He would just restrain his temper a little and never pretended to be good, let alone endure and pretend to be nice.
Now he was acting in front of Xiao Yuanmu. Although part of him felt it was fun because he loved thrill-seeking, his reason told him that if he couldn't do it perfectly, any inconsistency he showed now might affect Xiao Yuanmu's judgment of him, leading to an even worse end.
He was not confident that he could always maintain the personality traits of the original owner, nor was he confident that Xiao Yuanmu, who was already very perceptive, would not be able to detect the slightest inconsistency. He just wanted to delay it as long as possible, because after living together day and night, these changes would have been subtle by then, and even if he noticed it, he might not think too much about it.
Moreover, as time goes by, he will be more prepared and more confident about how to deal with things in the future.
Now it seems that he still underestimated Xiao Yuanmu's intuition and overestimated his own acting skills. Xiao Yuanmu may not have noticed anything wrong at the moment, but his nature that occasionally revealed still brought an impact.
So far, it seems that the effect has been to ease their relationship.
However, Song Xuanhe knew that even if Xiao Yuanmu really changed because of him, it would not mean anything, because the plot of him giving Xiao Yuanmu to the rich businessman was inevitable, and the key point of the whole book, Xiao Yuanmu's rebirth, could not fail to happen. So no matter how the plot deviated, the fact that Xiao Yuanmu hated him to the core after his rebirth would not change.
After seeing clearly the inescapable enemy relationship between himself and Xiao Yuanmu, Song Xuanhe actually reduced a little his fear of future plots. After all, they were going to die anyway, so he might as well find a way to die in a more pleasant way and last longer.
Song Shao, who had given up hope, fell asleep quickly. However, Xiao Yuanmu, who was left alone in the small building, suffered from insomnia.
The author has something to say: Xiao Yuanmu: It’s the first day Xuanzai is away, I miss him.
