"Is this really the case?" Qian Lianxia said anxiously: "Shang Xuan, you are not like this."
"You don't need to know what kind of person I am, Miss Qian."
Qian Lianxia was caught off guard by his sarcastic tone, but she still closed her eyes and sighed: "Shang Xuan, there is no need to use this to excuse me or lie to me, you are just protecting me, because you know that if I propose a divorce
, my parents will take out their anger on me, but you just want to take all the responsibilities that belong to me."
His back stiffened, and the white clothes left her side in an instant. His words were as light as the breeze and said with indifference, "You think too much."
Qian Lianxia lowered her head and her shoulders couldn't help but twitch. Even if he denied it, she still knew.
Shang Xuan, how much do I owe you? Why do you do everything for my sake? How much do I owe you?
She turned around and chased him out, only to see his figure stopping outside the study. She also walked over. Situ Shangxuan let out a 'shush', and her footsteps slowed down and she stopped quietly beside him.
There was a crackling sound in the study, which seemed like a pile of books being brushed down, or like the sound of many glass objects being dropped. Situ Haoze's roar was clearly audible through the door: "You
Have you seen it? Have you seen it? I said at the beginning that I don’t want this rebellious son, but you all tried to persuade me one by one. Now it’s okay,”
Situ Haoze snorted twice from his nose, "If you want to get married, get married, if you want to divorce, get divorced. They are exactly like the dead Situ Qiu. Sure enough, they are both father and son. What kind of father will have what kind of son!" Situ
Haoze was so angry that he couldn't help but speak.
Lonita's panicked voice came from inside, mixed with complaints, "Haoze, please keep your voice down. What if Shang Xuan and Churro hear it?"
"When you hear it, you hear it. What are you afraid of? Isn't it true? We have kept this secret for almost twenty years. Do we have to keep it secret forever?"
Qian Lianxia stood next to Situ Shangxuan, watching his palms slowly clenched into fists, watching the veins on the back of his hands exposed, and looking at the extremely forbearing expression on his face, she could only feel doubts and confusion.
After all, what did her parents mean by this? She had always felt that Situ Haoze was lukewarm towards Situ Shangxuan, so what was the reason?
"Since it has been kept secret for twenty years, can't it be kept secret for several more decades?" Lonita's voice was always rational and gentle.
"Lonita, we don't just have Shang Xuan, we also have Shang Qi and Liz. Shang Xuan is the eldest son, and Shang Xuan's performance has always been better than Shang Qi's. Are we just going to let the family choose Shang Xuan as the heir?
"
"Haoze, I know what you mean, but haven't we regarded Shang Xuan as—"
Before Lonita could finish her words, Situ Haoze interrupted angrily, "Lonita, I know you treat Shang Xuan as your own, but he is not our son after all!"
Situ Haoze's voice was mixed with frustration and disgust. There was a sound of palms hitting the table in the study, which made people's hearts numb. "No matter how good he is, it can't change the fact that he is Situ Qiu's biological son!"
"Dang-dang--" With a sound, Situ Shangxuan's standing body had fallen against the door due to instability. "Shang Xuan!" Qian Lianxia screamed and immediately supported his sliding body. His pale body
The look on her face made Qian Lianxia terrified, "Shang Xuan, Shang Xuan, what's wrong with you, are you okay?"
Situ Haoze and Lonita in the study heard the sounds outside and Qian Lianxia's shout, and looked at each other. The two of them looked at a loss for a moment. Is something bad?
Lonita was the first to react and quickly opened the door. Seeing the pale-faced Situ Shangxuan, Lonita panicked and said incoherently, "Shang Xuan, why are you here?"
Situ Shangxuan weakly pushed away Qian Lianxia's hand holding her, and Qian Lianxia supported him again. Situ Shangxuan looked at Lonita and roared, "Let go!"
Qian Lianxia tremblingly retracted her hand and took a step back. This was their family matter and she was unable to participate.
However, she never would have thought that Shang Xuan was not the biological son of Situ Haoze and Lonita. This sudden bolt from the blue made her unable to recover for a while.
Situ Shangxuan pushed Qian Lianxia away and walked stubbornly step by step towards Situ Haoze who was behind Lonita. His cold eyes were no longer the same as before, but they were abnormally red, like some giant animal.
The look on the verge of collapse made Lonita take a big step back involuntarily.
His tall figure showed stubbornness and embarrassment, which made Qian Lianxia feel distressed for a while. Even if she didn't love him, she understood this man. He would always be aloof, arrogant and inviolable, even if he was injured, even if he
Even if he is injured, he will try his best to hide all his wounds. In front of the world, he will always show his best side.
So even if she wanted a divorce so selfishly, he would always hide all his wounds. In front of her, Situ Shangxuan was always the one who couldn't reveal any flaws. Because she understood him, she felt even more guilty.
With distress.
He finally relied on his tenacious willpower to stand in front of Situ Haoze, his dry thin lips were slightly opened, and his cold and red blood eyes faced Situ Haoze, "Say what you just said again!"
Lonita finally reacted, standing between them with a tall figure, and dissuaded: "Shang Xuan, don't do this, please listen to mom, okay?"
"You go away first," he closed his lips and said again: "Mom, you go away first." The word "mom" represents respect.
Lonita looked at the father and son worriedly, then sighed and walked out of the study. Now that what happened has happened, what else can she do?
Just as Qian Lianxia was about to ask, Lonita had already pulled her over and pulled her away from the door of the study without allowing her to respond, "Let the father and son have a talk, and let's not disturb them."
In the study, Situ Shangxuan clenched his fingers, took a deep breath and repeated: "Dad, repeat what you just said!"
Situ Haoze stared at him quietly with his deep and narrow eyes. After a long time, he dragged the chair to the side and climbed up. He patted the sofa next to him and said, "Shang Xuan, sit down first and I will tell you slowly."
"Do you think I am still in the mood to sit down and have a good talk with you? Do you think I can still sit down calmly and listen to you tell me slowly?"
Situ Shangxuan was angry, "I just want to ask you once, what do you mean by what you just said?"
"What do you mean?" Situ Haoze narrowed his eyes and took a heavy breath and said, "What do you mean? It's not what you heard. Since you have heard it, then I have nothing to hide from you.
That’s what you heard.”
Situ Shangxuan's expression changed and he took a step back in shock.
