Chapter 1117 - Responsibility!
"Yes..."
Zhang Lei nodded his head obediently. This made Ji Feng especially amazed. With Zhang Lei's character, there was actually a time when he could be honest?
Tong Kaide said, "Since there's something on, let's talk about it."
Zhang Lei didn't look at Ji Feng at this time and directly said, "Dad, I brought Jingyi here today, as well as you and mom. The two of us have been discussing for a long time, so we brought her here to get your permission!"
Tong Kade asked, "You think that she is very suitable for you?!"
Tong Kade was not the least bit surprised by Zhang Lei's words. The fact that Zhang Lei was able to bring Shen Jingyi back was already a clear indication of the problem. However, this question caused Zhang Lei to be stunned.
Then, Zhang Lei nodded heavily and said, "Yes, I feel that she suits me. We've been getting along for a long time. I feel that my character and hers are complementary, and that she really treats me well …"
"What if I don't agree?" Tong Kade asked.
"..."
Zhang Lei couldn't help but be stunned.
Ji Feng was about to speak, but Tong Kaide raised his hand and cut him off, signaling him not to speak.
"What, you don't have anything else to say?!" Tong Kade looked at his son and asked.
"The reason I brought her here is to ask for your and my mom's permission!" Zhang Lei said.
Tong Kaide nodded and said, "You've already said this earlier. What I'm asking is, if I don't agree, what do you think?"
Zhang Lei was slightly disappointed in his heart. He didn't expect that his father would really disapprove.
He couldn't help but say, "Dad, she and I are really …"
"I don't agree!"
Tong Kade said, "I'll tell you my answer now!"
Zhang Lei was stunned. He didn't think that his father would be so straightforward. He didn't even wait for him to explain before saying that he didn't agree.
"Alright, let's not talk about this problem anymore!"
Tong Kaide waved his hand and said, "Little Feng, why are you here?"
Just as Ji Feng was about to nod his head and reply, he was interrupted by Zhang Lei. "Dad, why don't you agree?"
"I said, don't talk about this problem anymore!" Tong Kaide's face darkened. Although his voice was not loud, the meaning behind his rebuke was clear.
"This is unfair!"
Zhang Lei said, "If you don't agree, you must at least tell me the reason, right?" What's wrong with Jingyi that made you and my mom unhappy? "
Tong Kaide asked, "Why don't you know?"
Zhang Lei was speechless. How could he not know? Shen Jingyi's family background did not meet his father's requirements.
From a long time ago, Zhang Lei knew that his family would definitely find a suitable girl to be his wife. This would be in accordance with the clan's interests and would benefit his future development.
However, Zhang Lei didn't want a marriage without any foundation of emotions. He wanted to make him give up on the woman he had refined. This made him even more unwilling.
"Do I have to see my birth and family?" Zhang Lei wanted to fight for his father. "Dad, what era is it now, to think that you need to pay attention to these..."
"If you don't care about birth and family, do you think it will work in society? If I were just a poor man in the bottom of society, do you think you'd still have today's life and a future? " Tong Kade asked.
"..."
Zhang Lei was speechless.
Tong Kaide said, "That's enough. Don't say anything else. I'll talk to that little girl later. You don't need to worry about this matter."
"How can I not care?!"
Zhang Lei panicked. "Dad, I understand your thoughts. You don't agree with it because of me, and also because of the family. But, are my interests really that important to my future?"
Tong Kaide's face darkened. "Say that again!"
"Lei Zi!"
Ji Feng nudged Zhang Lei on the side and quickly said: "Uncle, don't be angry. Lei Zi's temper is too impulsive, he …"
"Don't say anything, let him say it himself!"
Tong Kaide waved his hand and looked at Zhang Lei. "Repeat what you just said. I want to see how you will be ashamed to say it!"
Zhang Lei's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything.
Tong Kaide snorted coldly, "I think you are simply defying the rules! I had originally planned to have a good talk with that little girl and explain your difficulties to her, but now that I've seen your performance, I know that you've already sunk into a deep slump. It looks like I should change my approach! "
"What do you want to do?!" Zhang Lei asked hurriedly.
"You don't need to worry about that!" Tong Kaide said, "That's enough. You can leave now!"
Seeing Tong Kaide wave his hand to chase them out, Zhang Lei panicked. "Dad, you can't do this! Jingyi and I really have feelings for each other! "
Tong Kaide said with a gloomy face, "Can feelings be used for everything?"
"Feelings can't be everything, but if you don't have feelings, then it's sad!" Zhang Lei looked at Tong Kaide, "Dad..."
"There's no need to say anything else!"
Tong Kaide waved his hand and ended the conversation.
Zhang Lei suddenly stood up, kneeled in front of Tong Kaide, and said, "Dad, I'll do whatever you ask me to do since young, but this time, I hope you can let me make a decision on my own. I know you won't believe me if I say anything about feelings, but this is my choice!"
Ji Feng's heart thumped when he saw this. d.a.m.n it!
He understood Zhang Lei's temperament too well. This guy was clearly being stubborn. He was going head on with Tong Kaide. At this time, the harder Tong Kaide acted, the more unyielding Zhang Lei would be.
But the question was, would Tong Kade go soft with Zhang Lei? Obviously not!
Tong Kaide's face was dark as he scolded, "Childish! You've only just come into society. What do you know about evil in the human heart? Do you know how important your future path is to you? "
Zhang Lei nodded and said, "I know!"
Tong Kaide asked in a deep voice, "Then why are you still doing this?!"
Zhang Lei remained silent for a while before saying, "I chose this myself. I don't want to regret it in the future!"
"If you don't listen to me, you will regret it even more in the future!" Tong Kaide reprimanded him. "There's no need to talk about this anymore. You can get up!"
"I won't get up!"
Zhang Lei said, "Dad, if you don't agree, then this time, kneel down and treat it as me bidding you farewell!"
Tong Kaide immediately said angrily, "What did you say?"
Zhang Lei gritted his teeth, raised his head and loudly said, "I'll say it, if you don't agree, then I'll leave with Jingyi!"
"How dare you!"
When Tong Kaide heard that, he was immediately enraged, and reprimanded, "Zhang Lei! Do you know what you're saying? Hm? Is this what a man should do? As a man, you aren't even willing to shoulder the responsibilities that you should have done for yourself, yet you want to leave just for a woman? "
Ji Feng grabbed Zhang Lei's shoulder and said solemnly: "Zhang Lei, don't be stupid, quickly apologize! We can talk about it later! "
Now that Zhang Lei and Tong Kaide were on top, one of them had to give in first. Otherwise, there was no way to end this matter.
However, it was obvious that Tong Kade would not give in to Zhang Lei, so Ji Feng had to make Zhang Lei give in first.
However, Zhang Lei didn't give in and didn't apologize. He just looked at Tong Kaide.
"Dad, it's precisely because I'm a man that I insist on my own choice!" Zhang Lei took a deep breath and firmly said, "I don't believe that if Jingyi follows me, I will have no future in the future. Even if my future is ruined, I will accept it! If a man does not even have this much responsibility, then I am not even fit to be a man! "
Tong Kaide angrily said, "What a bunch of nonsense!"
He stared at Zhang Lei and said angrily, "Your responsibility towards that girl is to enter a man. Then let me ask you, what about this family? What responsibility do you have for raising your family?! "You don't even have a future, what's with this responsibility?"
Zhang Lei gritted his teeth and said, "I will definitely fulfill my duty towards this family. I may not have the ability to make this family even more powerful, but I will still do my best!"
Tong Kaide said coldly, "You're about to take that girl away, what responsibilities do you have towards this family?"
Zhang Lei slowly shook his head and said, "I just don't want her to get hurt here, but that doesn't mean I'm leaving this house!"
Tong Kaide said, "You've let me down so much!"
Zhang Lei gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.
Tong Kaide looked at him, his eyes filled with disappointment. "I'll ask you one last time. Are you sure you want to do this?"
This was the last choice!
Ji Feng glanced at Zhang Lei, hoping that he would be more tactful and take a breather first.
However, Zhang Lei forced himself to nod and said, "Yes!"
"Ha ha!"
Tong Kaide shook his head and laughed, "You are really stubborn!"
Zhang Lei didn't say anything and just knelt there. However, his actions clearly indicated his intentions.
"Stand up!" Tong Kade said.
"Dad, I'm sorry for making you angry!" Zhang Lei kowtowed to Tong Kaide and was about to leave, but was stopped by Ji Feng. "Lei Zi, where are you going?"
"I'll send Jingyi away!"
Zhang Lei said, "Next up, I will marry him and also take responsibility for this family..." He didn't want Shen Jingbin to suffer any grievances here, but he knew that what his father said was true. The reason he left like this was actually to let down this family, because everything he had today was due to this family.
He had to fulfill his obligations!
However, Ji Feng laughed. "Kid, why do you only have one tendon at such a critical time?!" Uncle Tong has already agreed! "
He only looked at Ji Feng in shock, then abruptly turned his head to look at Tong Kaide, only to discover that Tong Kaide's face no longer had that previous anger on it. Instead, there was a faint smile on it, and although it was very faint, it could be seen!
"This …"
Zhang Lei's brain almost stopped working for a moment. Weren't they still … How could there be such a drastic change in the blink of an eye?
