Chapter 11 - Father and son meet
What is he doing here?
The father and son hadn’t seen each other for many years, and Xu Cinian was stiff on the spot for a while, his mind was blank.
From childhood to adulthood, he almost grew up with his grandfather, and he has a gentle mother and a kind grandfather in his impressions, but there is no father who seldom goes home. The word “father” has always remained literal to him. Meaning, there is not much intimacy.
He remember that when he was very young, he also asked his mother why his father didn’t like him, but what he got was only his mother’s tears and everyone’s silence. Some people even looked at him with pity and inexplicable complexity in their eyes. There are some unspeakable secrets hidden in him. Once he speaks it out, everyone will be unlucky, so his father’s indifference to him has become a matter of course, and others have long been surprised.
Since he has never asked this question again, he just feels that he is not good enough. As long as everything is perfect, his father will one day treat him differently.
It’s a pity that day after day, year after year, until his mother passed away due to illness, he took over most of the company from his grandfather, and his father’s attitude towards him did not improve at all, and even worsened because of his outstanding performance in the company. More disgust and rejection of him.
Every time the father and son met, he looked at himself like he was looking at a pile of garbage that he had to endure. Every time he thought about it, his heart was chilling. Even if he saw each other again after five years, he still couldn’t control himself. Emotions, I can’t wait to rush to ask him immediately.
Why did you do this to me, and why didn’t you show up for five years, and didn’t even give me a chance to explain?
Fortunately, his reason was still there. Xu Cinian remained motionless. He stood there and looked at his father, whom he had not seen for many years. His position was very hidden and covered by layers of trees and weeds, so Xu Jianguo did not notice the situation here. .
“Master, this is Mengshan Prison.” The butler behind him held up an umbrella to cover Xu Jianguo’s head and said respectfully.
Xu Ci Nian casually said “um”, with some impatience on his face, “What are you busy with Xu Xinnian? Why don’t you get out of the car?”
He is obviously much older than five years ago. The peak age has passed, and there are many wrinkles on the face, no matter how you look at it, the capital of the past is gone.
“Oh, the young master is sending a text message, saying that he has made an appointment for a pastry chef and is going to learn a few skills to go home and bake cakes for you.”
Xu Jianguo’s face softened, the corners of his mouth twitched, and his mood improved a lot because of this sentence, “Count him I have a heart, but it’s not good to always be so gentle and kind.”
The butler smiled and said nothing, when the car door opened, and a handsome young man got out of the car, wearing a light green plaid shirt with a linen color, casual pants look very cool and handsome.
He trotted over, held Xu Jianguo’s arm affectionately, and said with a smile, “I’m sorry Dad, there was a temporary delay in the company just now, so you’ve been waiting for a long time.
Does your brother have any news?” raised his hand and patted the back of his hand, with a look of hating iron and not steel, “I said don’t come here, but you don’t listen, now the company has something to do, you have to hurry back, and you still have time to worry about others? You should learn more now, I can also trust you with the company.”
Xu Xinnian pouted, and said with some dissatisfaction, “But how can my brother be someone else? He must have suffered a lot in the past five years, and he will definitely think about it after he is released from prison. See him at the first time.”
Xu Jianguo snorted coldly, frowning unhappily, “How come you are still a child when you are so grown up?!”
“When he killed the old man, he didn’t have a soft heart, and he almost killed you. Are you stupid or have no brains, and you still have time to sympathize with him? If you didn’t come to me today, I wouldn’t say anything. Take a step here, that renegade son is not my son of Xu Jianguo!”
Xu Xinnian lowered his head, his eyes turned red after a while, and tears flashed in his eyes, making his big eyes even more aggrieved, “Don’t say that, eldest brother… Although my eldest brother misunderstood me, I have always regretted it. If… if I explained it to him clearly, maybe he would not have been arrested and put into prison, and grandpa would not have died…”
Xu Cinian heard this . In his ears, he just laughed angrily.
Xu Xinnian’s words seem to be defending him, but every word has ulterior motives. He deliberately reminded his father that what happened back then was because he was “jealous” of his younger brother, so he accidentally “killed” his grandfather, really pull a good hatred.
Sure enough, Xu Jianguo got even more angry after hearing these words, his face was blue and his eyes were cold, “Enough Xu Xinnian! I don’t want to hear that nasty thing from your mouth again in the future, remember, you don’t have any brother, I, Xu Jianguo, have only you now. A son, and I will not forgive Xu Cinian for what he did, if you want to intercede with him again, don’t blame me for being rude to you!”
The words scared Xu Xinnian to silence, he sniffed. , pulled out a smile, “I see… Dad, I don’t want to make you unhappy.”
Xu Jianguo glanced at the prison gate, only because he felt dizzy, he agreed to come to this place. , “Okay, since the company has something to do, you can go back first. I have an appointment with Director Zhang for tea in a while, so it’s time to figure it out.”
“Don’t, Dad, you can at least find out about your brother before you can go? Otherwise, I won’t feel at ease even when I go back to work.”
Xu Xinnian pursed the corners of his mouth, insisting on his face.
He seldom disobeyed Xu Jianguo’s words, but doing so now makes the old man look up to him. Although the younger son is far less skilled in business than the older son, he is tolerant towards those who hurt him. Belly volume is exactly what businessmen need.
The housekeeper next to him was very moved when he saw Xu Xinnian like this, and couldn’t help but say, “Yes, sir, since we are all here, it’s okay to ask for news, not to mention that even if you no longer recognize the son of the eldest young master, at least Don’t worry about the Xu family’s face, after all, it’s not good to hear this.”
Xu Jianguo was silent.
To tell the truth, since he was a child, he wished not to have the eldest son Xu Cinian, and now he is even more reluctant to let the Xu family have a relationship with a murderer. He has always regarded his face as more important than his life. Xu Cinian, this monster, he was too happy to be happy, how could he welcome this death star home again?
It’s just that for this sake, the face of the head of his family must be preserved. Even if he is pretending, he can’t let others say that he is cold-blooded and ruthless behind his back.
Thinking of this, he didn’t insist any longer, patted Xu Xinnian on the shoulder and sighed, “Okay, Dad knows that you have a good heart and are worried about your brother, I promise you to find out before you go, is that alright? Should you go back to the company?”
Xu Xinnian’s expression brightened, and he nodded heavily, “Thank you, Dad, for the sake of my brother helping you for so many years, if he is released from prison, take him home, I will definitely work hard, and I will take over the company in the future. I will only do better than my brother, and I will never let you down.”
He wiped his tears and left in the Lincoln with the Xu family crest.
""
Xu Jianguo stood where he was, and after instructing the housekeeper to go to the prison to inquire about the news, he stood motionless, with no expression on his face, as if Xu Cinian’s life or death had nothing to do with him.
Xu Cinian was standing not far from him, looking at his father’s back in front of him at this time, it was difficult to move his whole body stiffly.
He was surprised that he could watch Xu Xinnian’s performance so calmly.
First, he sent someone to assassinate him in advance to ensure that he could not leave the prison alive, and then he played this good show of brotherhood in front of his father.
Although this kind of killing two birds with one stone was vicious and effective, it did not make Xu Cinian feel more uncomfortable. What really made his heart pierce was his father’s determination and ruthlessness towards him.
It turns out that there is really no fairness in this world. Some people will be spoiled even if they are bad to the bone. Some people are destined to be unpopular by nature, no matter how hard they work. It’s just a fart after all.
The only trace of his past thoughts about his father disappeared at this moment, but he still didn’t understand, even if the flesh and blood relatives were broken, the bones were still connected.
After a while, the butler trotted back with a pale face, leaned into Xu Jianguo’s ear and said a few words.
“Are you serious? He really died inside?” Xu Jianguo frowned, his face moved slightly.
The housekeeper nodded, “It’s absolutely true, I asked someone to check the release records of the second district for the last year, and there is no such person as the eldest young master, and the third district is very chaotic, and there are no taboos between men and men… So even the prison guards said that he probably really died inside. But this is not necessarily the case. After all, we did not investigate carefully, maybe there is a mistake somewhere, if not, I will go to the judicial * law * Bureau to find out the news?”
Xu Jianguo didn’t speak, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
This kind of feeling is very complicated. It’s like you raised a dog with an infectious disease since you were a child. You can’t kill it with cruelty, and you can’t get rid of this big trouble. Now the dog you have raised for many years has finally died, and you are used to it. Sex is still somewhat empty, but more of a relief after liberation.
""
“Forget it, there’s no need to investigate. It doesn’t make any difference to the Xu family whether he is really dead or faked. Even if he is still alive, I will treat him as dead.”
The housekeeper did not expect Xu Jianguo to say such ruthless words directly. He was stunned and said in disbelief, “But… Master, he is your son after all. Even if you make a mistake and drive him out of the house, how can it be so easy to forget whether it is a matter of life or death?”
Xu Jianguo glance at him coldly, with a warning in his eyes, the butler immediately fell silent.
He snorted coldly, and sneered after a while, “I don’t even know if he is a man or a woman. This monster is also worthy of being my son? You have been in the Xu family for so many years, and you still need me to teach you about this kind of thing. Is it?”
This sentence was like a blow to the head, making Xu Cinian, who was eavesdropping in the dark, suddenly dumbfounded!
When it comes to the secrets of the Xu family back then, the housekeeper is also a little embarrassed, “Master, the eldest young master’s body emm… Although he is indeed a bit special, as long as we don’t tell it, no one will find out.”
This sentence directly aroused all the anger of Xu Jianguo, he sneered, his voice raised a little unconsciously, “Yeah, no one will find out! But once it is found out that the eldest son of the Xu family is a long body monster in the womb is still a dead gay who sleeps with a man, and even killed his own grandfather and put him in prison, you let me, let the whole Xu family’s face go to where!”
“If the old man stopped him back then! , I will definitely not let this monster survive. When the old man was still alive, he protected him desperately, and even handed half of the Xu family into his hands. I can turn a blind eye to these things, but Now that Xu Xinnian recognized his ancestors, and he is a good boy who is down-to-earth and willing to work, what reason do I have to bring home a monster who is neither male nor female?”
The butler was also moved when he mentioned Mr. Xu. The old man was so fond of the eldest young master that he even gave the whole family a gag order. No one could tell Xu Cinian about his physical defects, but he ended up in a tragic death. He really raised a white-eyed wolf.
“It’s better if he died in prison, so he wouldn’t have to mess with other men in prison, and make some AIDS or something like disgrace to the Xu family, remember that he is not allowed to be mentioned in front of me again in the future, and don’t let Xu Xinnian know all this mess, this will save him from thinking that he has a monster brother.”
The housekeeper did not dare to say more and nodded, Xu Jianguo raised his hand and glanced at his watch, it was almost time to drink tea with Director Zhang. He has no time to waste time here.
The driver opened the car door, and he got into the car without looking back. He never glanced in the direction of the prison from beginning to end, nor did he give his eldest son the last bit of face.
The car drove away, and Xu Cinian froze in place for a long time without making a sound.
The images of the past flashed through his mind like lightning, and his father’s disgust and contempt for him finally had a reason, but when he heard this terrifying truth with his own ears, he still couldn’t believe his own ears.
He has lived for nearly 30 years, and at this moment, he realizes that he is an out-and-out joke. If what his father said is true, then he has become… what?
A deformed monster who is neither male nor female, or a dead gay who could contract AIDS at any time?
Haha, it’s fucking funny, it’s the funniest joke he’s ever heard in his life!
Xu Cinian leaned his head against the tree and laughed uncontrollably. His eyes were sore. He covered half of his face with his hands. Even if there was no one around, he didn’t want anyone to see his expression at this time.
He thought of his grandfather’s inexplicable love and concern for him, and also thought of his mother’s thousands of warnings when he was a child, telling him that he must never participate in the school’s group examination, and the first time he heard that his father had an illegitimate child, the servants looked at him. His strange eyes…
It turns out that everyone knows the truth, but he is the only one who didn’t know it.
So what is he?
After so many years of hard work for the Xu family and unreserved dedication, in the end, because what my father wanted was a son, and he was just a deformed monster, he could be cannon fodder openly and aboveboard?
He kept laughing, and at the end he even burst into tears.
Uncontrollable hatred poured out of his heart. If the father knew that Xu Xinnian was not his son, but a lonely ghost from nowhere, what expression would he show?
Raise your head, wipe the remaining water marks, he clenched his fists, since everyone wanted him to die, then he had to live tenaciously!
Live to see what those enemies will end up with in the end!
When he needed help the most, the person closest to him did not hesitate to give him the most deadly knife, and he was killed and then reborn. Now that he has nothing, he has long been fearless.
Turning his head, he walked forward without looking back. This moment is worth remembering, because Xu Cinian has been reborn.
