He had already wronged Liu Yan enough. A wedding only happens once in a lifetime, and no matter how difficult it is, he should try to make it happen.
"Where is it shameful?" Jiang Chao asked.
Jiang Yubo remained silent.
Jiang Chaoqiang suppressed his anger and tried to remain calm, saying, "What exactly did Liu Yan do wrong? Why do you always dislike her? Is it just because she doesn't have a good father?!"
"Do I really want a daughter-in-law who's been arrested for assault?"
"That's all been resolved through mediation!"
"You think things will be fine after mediation? Now the whole world knows about this!" Jiang Yubo slammed his hand on the table. "It's alright now, people think you're just joking, but what will outsiders think of me when you actually marry her?"
From now on, the entire legal and political community in Hangzhou will know that I, Jiang Yubo, have a daughter-in-law who has been to the police station for assault! Where am I supposed to put my face then?!
Jiang Chao found it unbelievable, "They were sticking to her and trying to chat her up, does that mean she was wrong to hit them?"
"You're her boyfriend. If she calls the police, the whole world will know who your father is. There are plenty of ways to deal with him. Does this matter have to be resolved by taking action?"
Jiang Yubo lowered his voice after being glared at by Zheng Yunying, and continued in a cold voice: "I watched the video in the mediation room. The whole thing was resolved by your friend Chen Lu through his words."
But what about you? You're still searching the world for someone.
I asked you, "When I told you to follow my old path, you scoffed at it. What were you doing back then?"
No matter how much Zheng Yunying glared at him this time, he resolutely finished speaking, "If you could be like your friend, I would think more highly of you!"
For some reason, there was a hint of disappointment in his words.
This was the first time in Jiang Chao's life that he had been speechless by Jiang Yubo.
He clenched his fists tightly, swallowed several times, and still couldn't think of what to say.
The television, which had seemed to be muted, started playing again, and the dialogue between the characters echoed in the quiet living room.
“Let’s each handle this matter separately,” Jiang Chao said suddenly, his eyes lowered after a long while.
Jiang Yubo found it amusing and looked up at him, "How do you mean by each of us talking about our own thing?"
“It was wrong of me to make calls everywhere before. I’m not as smart as Chen Lu in this regard, I admit it… But I’m still not convinced by you. I will continue to prove with results that I made the right choice.”
Before Jiang Yubo could press for answers, he saw Jiang Chao grit his teeth and say in a deep voice:
"In all my years, I've never asked you for anything..."
With a muffled thud.
Jiang Chao knelt down on the ground.
His eyes were filled with resentment, but his knees remained pressed firmly against the cold ground, motionless.
"This time, all I ask is that you show your faces so that my wedding with Liu... and my wife can be a little more successful."
Jiang Yubo suddenly froze.
He never imagined that he and Jiang Chao would have been at odds for so many years, arguing countless times, big and small.
This rebellious son, who had always been well-fed and clothed since childhood, but ran away from home when he first entered junior high school and preferred to starve himself to the point of collecting empty bottles to sell rather than return home, softened for the first time. It wasn't a request for him to let go of his prejudices, nor was it a request for his help.
She only asked him to be her father and witness her wedding.
The living room fell silent again. Zheng Yunying spoke a few times, but the two remained silent and remained in a stalemate.
She tried to pull Jiang Chao up, but he refused to get up.
Now it was Zheng Yunying's turn to be angry. She stormed upstairs and returned to her bedroom.
After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Yubo suddenly lit a cigarette without saying a word, put it in his mouth, walked up to Jiang Chao, and looked down at him.
Jiang Chao remained kneeling there, his eyes and body frozen in place.
"After all, he is still my child."
Jiang Yubo took a few puffs of his cigarette, then smashed it to pieces on the ground, and snorted coldly:
"At least you're a man."
Two minutes later.
Jiang Chao is gone.
In the huge villa, only a mother who had only seen her son for less than half an hour a year remained. She was crying and hitting the man next to her.
The man had a cold and stern face. He held a cigarette in his mouth and remained silent. His sharp, eagle-like eyes stared straight ahead, lost in thought.
