The moment he saw Cang Qing, he hastily called for Cang Qing to sit down. Normally, when Cang Qing saw that Committee Xie would act like a proper and proper model soldier, but since today's meal was for his birthday, he was a bit more at ease. After greeting Committee Xie, he took his seat.
When everyone was seated, Commissar Xie ordered a few more hot dishes that Cang Qing usually liked to eat, and seeing how clearly his father liked him, Cang Qing's heart felt warm. After all, ever since he and Lin Mo had been together, he had intentionally or unintentionally distanced himself from the Xie Family's interactions, and when he was young, he often ate and drank at the Xie Family. Facing such a father, Cang Qing felt a little ashamed in his heart, but there were some things that he could not do.
"Cang Qing, this is what you like to eat. Your appetite and your abilities are proportional. Don't save Uncle money, just eat whatever you want."
"Okay, thank you, Commissar."
Seeing Cang Qing like this, Committee Xie smiled and said, "Cang Qing, Uncle watched you grow up. Although you are not Uncle's child, I have always treated you as my own child. Even though your marriage with Wan Jun ended early, you shouldn't be thinking of alienating Uncle and the Xie Family because of this, right?"
This time, Father Xie had directly brought the matter up and made it clear. This made even the normally calm Cang Qing somewhat agitated.
Cang Qing, even though you and Wan Jun haven't been able to be together, in my uncle's heart, you're still the same as before. Ever since you got married, you rarely went to my old man's office, and a while ago, you would still have come over to have a cup of tea with me whenever you have nothing to do.
On the other hand, it was just like what his father had said. Even if he and Wan Jun could not become husband and wife, the relationship between the two families had been like this since the old man's days. When he was young, no prince Xie family had left, and his father had treated him with kindness, which was not something that could be done just by saying that he would be distant from him.
Uncle, you misunderstand. Lin Mo did not seem to interfere with my social interaction. During this period of time, she has indeed been too busy.
Xie Wanjun saw Cang Qing cover all the crimes on her body while the reluctant Lin Mo that slut looked like she was suffering from a small crime, and the flames of jealousy in her heart grew longer and longer, thus she said, "Dad, I've seen Lin Mo before. She's a very generous person, and she definitely wouldn't do what you say. Cang Qing is just too busy these days, so don't think too much about it."
When Cang Qing heard Xie Wanjun help Lin Mo, he was astonished in his heart. He really did not think that Xie Wanjun would actually speak kindly to Lin Mo, because in this way, it would seem that she was too petty, and in contrast, she did not have the bearing of a woman like Xie Wanjun. None of the men were able to accept this, so Cang Qing said, "Thank you Uncle, it won't happen in the future, I'll toast to you first."
As they spoke, the Heavens raised their glasses to toast their father. Xie Wanjun did the same as well. The three of them clinked their glasses and downed the beers in it.
"Good, good, good. Cang Qing, in the future, bring your wife to visit at home. Your aunt and I, you should know that we are both hospitable people."
Cang Qing was the best out of the bunch of children in the courtyard that he had set his eyes on, and had always treated him as his own child. Because the matter of Cang Qing and Xie Wanjun had alienated Cang Qing, so his father was indeed feeling very sad.
Now that the matter had been revealed, his heart was naturally happy, Cang Qing heaved a sigh of relief in his heart, after all, towards his benefactor, he was actually full of guilt, but back then, he had only thought about Lin Mu, on behalf of the family. Now, looking at the meaning behind Xie Wanjun's words, even if Xie Wanjun had any thoughts, Xie Wanjun would not have allowed it, but right now, Cang Qing had forgotten one sentence.
These two men were the two men he loved the most in his entire life. Now that he saw them toasting each other, the atmosphere was at its best when he said, "Dad, there's something I want to tell you. It's that I want to withdraw from the entertainment circle."
Hearing Xie Wanjun's words, Cang Qing's hand that was about to drink his wine suddenly stopped. Although she still looked calm on the surface, waves had already begun to surge in her heart. The one with the most intense reaction was her father.
Her lips quivered, her words almost stuttering.
Wan-jun, are you serious?" You didn't lie to your father?
Xie Wangjun saw her father's emotional reaction and felt a little upset. In the end, she was the one who was willful. She knew that the old man had always looked down on her the most, but she was helpless in the world of entertainment.
She said, "Dad, what I said was true. I really intend to leave the entertainment circle, and when I first entered the entertainment circle, I wanted to realize my dream. Now that I've achieved it, I'll announce my complete withdrawal from the entertainment circle in a few days' time at the awards ceremony."
After confirming once again that Xie Wanjun was really planning to leave the entertainment circle, the smile on her father's face grew even wider. She happily raised her wine cup and drank a cup without hesitation.
"Good, good, good! My lady is finally leaving that chaotic circle!"
He still remembered that back then, in order to be able to enter the entertainment circle, the obedient Xie Wanjun had quarreled with her family over this matter, and in the end, even her part-time job crying in his arms was almost suffocated. He could not bear to see her being sad like this, so he decided to find her father on his own accord and promised her that he would protect her well, that he would not let her receive even the slightest bit of harm in that circle. Everything that happened before was just like watching an old movie.
Suddenly, Cang Qing felt that his thoughts were a little sad. Closing his eyes, he started to talk about the thoughts in his head.
Cang Qing sent Xie Wanjun and some other commissars to their carriages. Before they got on their carriages, her father urged the heavens to hurry back, since the current season was precisely the coldest time in the capital. When Xie Wanjun heard this, she once again pretended to be jealous and said that her father really did prefer Cang Qing, and was even better to Cang Qing than to her.
As they sat in the car, neither Xie Wanjun nor her father spoke. In an instant, the atmosphere in the car turned somewhat oppressive. When they arrived at the main entrance of the Xie Clan, Xie Wanjun looked at him as she was about to go upstairs, but in the end, his father couldn't hold back his words.
"Wan Jun. Daddy wants to talk to you. You talk to daddy first."
She probably knew what her father wanted to say, but she didn't want to talk about it with him, so she said, "Dad, I'm already an adult. I know what I need to do, and I'll be responsible for everything I do. Also, I've already decided to leave the entertainment circle. Dad, you can relax now."
His father didn't quite agree with Xie Wanjun's words. He knew how stubborn his daughter was, but as her father, there was no way he wouldn't tell her about it.
"Playing Jun, you …"
"Dad, I'm tired, so I'll go upstairs to rest first."
With that, Xie Wanjun didn't linger any longer and ran up the stairs. The other political committee members watched her leaving and felt helpless in their hearts. Their daughter had grown up and already had her own thoughts, but her thoughts were too …
"Sigh!" Little girl, oh little girl, do you know the consequences of doing this? "
After saying that, Father Xie inwardly shook his head, his face full of helplessness and worry for Xie Wanjun.
In the blink of an eye, so many years had passed. That immature girl from back then had already become a mature woman. She was like a flower, and right now, her beauty was at its peak.
When Lin Mo had not cut into their relationship, at that time, every time she had lived in the Cang Qing household, it had been that man who had helped him sleep his hair. She had become more proficient in the art of sleeping, and all of this was done by that man, but now, when he thought that Lin Mo would also blow his hair like that on that woman, she really wanted to strangle that woman to death. With no background, how could a woman with no looks match up to the heavens?
He secretly planned what to do next. The corner of his mouth slowly curled up as his beautiful eyes lit up with a light that could be counted as a memory.
The phone's ringing interrupted Xie Wanjun's train of thought. When she picked up the phone and saw the name card, the smile on her face grew even wider. She had wanted to add some bait and wait for the fish to take the bait, but didn't expect the fish to come rushing to her.
"Hello, hello."
"Wan Jun. It's me, your sister-in-law Bai Yan."
"Sister-in-law, do you need anything?"
"It's like this. Do you have time tomorrow? I want to ask you out for a walk and then have something to tell you."
Hearing Bai Yan's ingratiating words, Xie Wanjun raised her eyebrows. It seemed that even the heavens would have to help her this time!
"This …"
When Bai Yan heard that Xie Wanjun did not directly reject her, but hesitated, knowing that she still had a way out, she hurriedly said, "Wanjun, if you don't have time tomorrow, we can change the day. When you have time, we can go there again."
