The dinner ended with Xiao Zheng's final counterattack.
His counterattack was very tactful, so subtle that others couldn't understand it.
Even Xiao Zheng himself could only catch a trace of Shang Yao's strangeness. He couldn't be sure.
But for Shang Yao, Xiao Zheng's casual question made her silent for nearly five minutes.
Then, the dinner ended. The two of them went back to their own homes to look for their mothers — — no, Shang Yao could only look for her father, because her mother had passed away many years ago.
After getting into the car, Shang Yao told the driver to go home directly.
And the first thing she did when she got home was to go straight to Shang Jingtian's study room.
At nine o 'clock at night, the place where Shang Jingtian appeared the most was the study room. Perhaps he didn't have a lot of complicated work to deal with. But for a big shot like Shang Jingtian, his mind was filled with thousands of clues and information, which he needed to sort out in the middle of the night and summarize them one by one.
"Father." Shang Yao slowly walked into the study room and sat opposite to Shang Jingtian.
"You're back?" Shang Jingtian put down his pen and looked up with a smile. "How was the talk?"
"As you expected, he's not interested at all." Shang Yao frankly said.
For this date, Shang Jingtian had given an answer in advance. Xiao Zheng would never agree. He wouldn't have any interest.
But from Shang Yao's point of view, no matter what, if he didn't try, how would he know if it was a success or failure?
"If he agrees, we shouldn't be happy. Not only should we not be happy, we should be disappointed instead, "said Shang Jingtian slowly. "This young man, every step he takes is carefully thought out, this is the reason why he is qualified to confront Chang Yishan."
"He didn't have such thoughts in the past. It seems like he suddenly made up his mind in the last year. "Shang Yao pursed her lips and said. "In just one year, he has reached where he is today. Everyone said that Chang Yishan was a genius. In my opinion, he's the one with true talent, a peerless talent. "
"You only realized his talent now?" Shang Jingtian smiled. "All you know is that everyone praises Chang Yishan as a genius. He was a prodigy. But you know what? Now, the most popular saying is — Beijing has a second Lin Laoyao. "
Shang Yao's face changed and her heart was beating like thunder.
"From the beginning, Xiao Zheng's resume was the focus of everyone's attention. Now, it has become an essential teaching material on every old man's desk. That explains a lot. " Shang Jingtian slowly said, "When he was a student, he was in cahoots with the hoodlums, yet he dominated Pearl High School. When he was a hooligan, he could destroy a gang with two watermelon knives. It caused a sensation in the entire city. After that, he joined the army and became the most promising recruit in the 10,000 Years Army. Even General Jiang, who had great prestige in the army, regarded him as his own son and groomed him as his successor. After he left the country and became a mercenary, he continued to lead a team that had never been defeated in a hundred battles. There weren't many people, but they all had their own talents. Most importantly, during those five years, they had achieved zero casualties. It's a miracle in the military world. "
Shang Jingtian finished listing Xiao Zheng's core resume in one breath and asked, "A person who did the same thing repeatedly and became an expert. It doesn't mean he's great, but he has perseverance. But if a person can become an expert in everything, he can outshine others. Do you think it's just perseverance and luck? "
"It's power." Shang Yao said meaningfully. "Peerless power."
"Not to mention, he killed two of the Eight Ultimates." Shang Jingtian said slowly. "They say he's the second Lin Laoyao. No one disagrees. "
There was only one Lin Laoyao in Yan Jin, and he took away everyone's glory. Now there's a second one?
Shang Yao was a little annoyed.
And a little helpless.
Didn't they say that the younger generation was dying out?
Why was it that in just a short two years, the forbearance that he had been hiding for so many years did not seem to be able to achieve the effect of a brilliant feat? Instead, she seemed to be overshadowed?
"Treat this young man the same way you treated Lin Chaotian," Shang Jingtian said calmly. "As long as he can live to be forty. He must be a legend. "
Shang Yao nodded and humbly accepted the advice.
But soon, she cast aside these depressing thoughts and slowly raised her head. She stared straight at her father, who did not have an outstanding appearance but was very capable. "Dad, all these years, I have never asked you —"
"I know." The light on Shang Jingtian's face dimmed. "You want to ask about your mother?"
"Mhm." Shang Yao nodded.
Her mother was dead.
When she was very young, so young that she didn't know what her mother's death meant and how much pain it would bring her, she left her forever.
In the early years, she didn't want to talk about it in front of her father. But as she grew older, she didn't have the heart to ask. She didn't dare to.
She knew that her mother didn't leave for no reason. There must have been a good reason.
But. What was the reason for his departure?
Shang Yao finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
And the reason why she couldn't hold it in was because of what Xiao Zheng said.
Why do you hate Mu Qingsong so much?
As for the name Mu Qingsong, who told her about it?
It was the man sitting in front of her, her father.
Everything related to the Eight Ultimates was told to her by Shang Jingtian. Otherwise, no matter how capable she was, she wouldn't be able to know so much about the past. It wasn't just a matter of ability, it was a matter of age and ability.
Shang Jingtian's eyes became gentle, especially when he was looking at Shang Yao. The corners of his mouth were brimming with pride.
His daughter has grown up. She's so outstanding.
For any father, this is the proudest and proudest thing in the world.
When his daughter grows up, what reason does he have to hide the past? Even if it's so painful and regretful.
"Because your father, I — — -" Shang Jingtian said without pride. "Also one of the Eight Ultimates that people talk about"
Shang Yao's body trembled, looking at Shang Jingtian in disbelief: "You — — as well?"
"Looking down on your father?" Shang Jingtian smiled.
"No" Shang Yao quickly shook her head. "But after so many years, I've never seen you — —"
"Then why do you think I was able to let Xiao Zheng into my study so easily?" Shang Jingtian asked in a meaningful tone. "That night, I tried to kill him. Once I lost control, he could very well attack me "
"Daughter, only when you're absolutely strong can you truly be unshakable" Shang Jingtian said in a meaningful tone.
"In other words — — -" Shang Yao understood. "Mother, it was also because of Mu Qingsong's appearance that — — -"
"At the time, I was completely focused on my career, so I had no interest in fighting against Mu Qingsong" Shang Jingtian regretfully said. "Otherwise, your mother wouldn't have been dragged into this"
"I'm definitely going to kill him!" Shang Yao's eyes glowed fiercely.
"He will definitely die" Shang Jingtian promised his daughter. "Definitely"
