Listening to Lin Laoyao's thought-provoking words, the smile on Xiao Zheng's face gradually disappeared.
Last time, he could say that he came to the Xiao family to accompany Lin Xiaozhu. But this time, he was waiting alone at the door of the villa.
Waiting for Xiao Zheng to go home.
Even last time, Lin Laoyao still had a political purpose. He hoped that Xiao Zheng would also retreat with Lin Huayin. But this time?
What purpose could he have for coming to Xiao Zheng alone?
Drinking tea and chatting with his son-in-law as a father-in-law?
Lin Laoyao was not such a boring man. He would not waste his life, which was racing against time.
Then, Xiao Zheng knew that Lin Laoyao was not playing psychological warfare with Xiao Zheng by mentioning the past again. He really wanted him to make a statement.
Xiao Zheng took a sip of tea, and the expression on his face became dignified.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Zheng looked up at Lin Laoyao, "The next step is to wait for Old Lin to recover and have a daughter."
After a pause, Xiao Zheng said quite seriously, "I actually prefer a daughter."
Lin Laoyao's expression changed slightly, but he finally fell into calmness and reason.
Seeing this, Xiao Zheng sighed slightly in his heart.
He knew that his test had failed. It did not change any of Lin Laoyao's thoughts.
In fact, all of this was also within Xiao Zheng's expectations. It was not surprising at all.
The hatred of half a century, Lin Laoyao used the most precious thirty years of a man's life to plot. Even the most beloved woman could be deceived and let down. How could he turn the spear head and quickly withdraw at the moment when the curtain of revenge had already begun?
A grandson couldn't do it, and a granddaughter also couldn't do it.
"This is the last time I ask you." Lin Laoyao stared at Xiao Zheng calmly. "What are you going to do next?"
Faced with Lin Laoyao's terrifying deterrence, Xiao Zheng knew very well that it was time to make a choice. Although it was difficult, although it was difficult to satisfy both sides. But he had to make a choice.
In front of him was a barren land filled with thistles and thorns. Behind him was the surging and boundless sea.
He couldn't advance, nor could he retreat.
But as a man, you usually move on.
Since both moving forward and retreating would result in the same outcome, at the very least, moving forward would be filled with positivity and energy.
Xiao Zheng exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and the expression on his face slowly relaxed. My career is on the rise. His social network also gradually expanded. If we retreat now, we will disappoint many people and make even more people regret it. "
After a pause, Xiao Zheng shrugged and said, "I'm not a person who likes to let others down. Sorry. "
Lin Laoyao remained silent.
There was a hint of anger in his deep eyes.
In the end, he failed to convince Xiao Zheng.
It had been five years.
More than once, Lin Laoyao had given Xiao Zheng a more perfect choice. But every time, Xiao Zheng had refused him either forcefully or gently.
Today, just like countless times in the past, there was no change in the result. Xiao Zheng still refused him.
But both Lin Laoyao and Xiao Zheng knew. This was the last time they could have a peaceful conversation.
After today, they were enemies.
One wanted revenge, and the other wanted to stop the other from taking revenge.
When their positions rose to an inharmonious height, the two men could only step on the other's corpse and continue to move forward. There was no second way.
The tea in the teacup had been finished.
Xiao Zheng picked up the teapot and poured another cup for Lin Laoyao. But this man, who had never been seen through, slowly stood up. In addition to indifference, there was more determination in his eyes. "You forced me to be a bad father."
After saying that, Lin Laoyao turned around and left. Xiao Zheng could only see the broad back view of his back.
That silhouette was filled with boundless power. It was like a mountain, pressing down on Xiao Zheng and making him unable to breathe.
Yes.
This was the irreconcilable contradiction between him and Lin Laoyao. And it was bound to break out at a certain point in time.
Xiao Zheng had expected this day would come sooner or later. But he never thought that this day would come so soon. It came on the second day after Xiao An was born.
After packing up his things, Xiao Zheng took a car back to the hospital. But there was no expression on his face.
Although Lin Huayin was a little weak, her eyesight and her wisdom were not affected much by Xiao An's arrival.
When Xiao Zheng finished everything and sat by the bed to peel fruit, Lin Huayin gently grabbed Xiao Zheng's arm. She shook her head and said, "I don't want to eat."
Hearing that, Xiao Zheng put down the fruit knife helplessly. He tried to look more relaxed.
"What happened?" Lin Huayin asked softly.
"Nothing." Xiao Zheng shook his head and smiled. He helped Lin Huayin tidy up the quilt and pursed his lips. "I'm just worried about my daughter's name."
Lin Huayin glared at Xiao Zheng. "Do you think I'm a childbearing machine?"
Hearing that, Xiao Zheng grinned and said, "You're not young anymore. After you recover, prepare to have a second child. So that you won't be an old woman in the future. "
In the face of Xiao Zheng's ridiculous teasing, Lin Huayin clenched Xiao Zheng's palm. She asked in a low voice, "Did he talk to you?"
Except for family matters. Lin Huayin had never seen Xiao Zheng so unnatural. Even the most basic ability to cover up seemed to have become non-existent.
Sighing lightly, Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "I thought my acting skills were good enough, but it seems like I'm not. You really do have a sharp eye. "
Lin Huayin shook her head and said, "Don't worry about it."
After a pause, Old Lin made up his mind. He pursed his lips and said, "You're my husband. I have your child. This is my home. "
"Who wants to destroy my family? You deal with him for me. "Lin Huayin said word by word.
Hearing Old Lin's declaration, Xiao Zheng was very touched. However, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Old Lin, you really overestimate me. It's hard on me. "
After a few bitter laughs, Xiao Zheng said slowly, "You know what kind of person Boss Lin is. It's hard on me, but even if we really fight. I'm no match for him. After all, he is an ever-victorious general, the undefeated Old Monster Lin. "
"Is there an enemy in this world that Xiao Zheng is afraid of?" Lin Huayin said calmly.
"Of course." Xiao Zheng smiled and squeezed Old Lin's hand. "He's one, you're the other."
"What about Xiao An?" Lin Huayin smiled warmly.
"That kid?" Xiao Zheng said with a straight face. "The Xiao family rules are very strict. If this kid dares to be mischievous in the future, you don't even need to use your Dragon Hand. I'll just use Black Tiger Steals Heart to take him down. "
"You're really cruel." Lin Huayin shook her head. "I'll teach the kid in the future. You'll be in charge of playing the good guy. "
"That's not in line with my personality." Xiao Zheng looked unwilling.
"Don't take it for granted." Lin Huayin glanced at Xiao Zheng. "You're willing to take care of the kid?"
"Then are you willing?" Xiao Zheng asked. It was a bit of a fight.
Lin Huayin fell into silence upon hearing this.
After a while, she suddenly said, "I'm willing to take care of anyone but you."
