When they returned to the Golden Palm, Xie Yiren and Lin Wan chatted and laughed as they went to park the car.
At the door, Zheng Ren and Xie Ning came down. Zheng Ren was thinking about digging up the cabbage. This was a mission for him, the kind that he had to complete.
Seeing that Zheng Ren did not say a word and did not even exchange ordinary pleasantries, Xie Ning felt very helpless.
This was too awkward.
This was also because Xie Ning understood Zheng Ren and knew that this son-in-law was not good with words. Otherwise, he would definitely think that this person was already so arrogant that he did not even want to talk to his father-in-law.
What was going on!
"Are you usually busy with work?" In the end, Xie Ning could not help but ask a simple question to break the awkwardness.
"It's alright." Zheng Ren looked ahead and did not answer this extremely ordinary question.
The elevator arrived. After getting on the elevator, Zheng Ren pressed the button for the 17th floor.
Xie Ning was a little gratified. Although he knew that Zheng Ren must have run up a lot, he could still understand some meaning from subconsciously pressing the floor of the small house below.
"You pressed the wrong button. Do you usually go straight back to wash up after work?" Xie Ning said with a smile.
"Oh, it's the 25th floor. I know." Zheng Ren pressed the button for the 25th floor again and said, "I'll go down first in a while. I need to get something."
Looking at his familiar movements, Xie Ning's psychological drama increased a lot.
It was so stuffy and aggrieved. When he thought that the cabbage that he had painstakingly raised for so many years was going to be taken by this wooden pig, Xie Ning felt indescribably depressed.
The elevator was silent.
Zheng Ren was so focused on the floor number of the elevator that he seemed to have forgotten that his feared father-in-law was still by his side. In his heart, he silently said the cabbage. The cabbage indicated that his mood was calm.
Xie Ning was also quite speechless.
Why did he want to talk to him? Was he in such a hurry to marry the girl to him? Nonsense!
This guy was simply a technical dog. He did not know how to communicate with him at all.
It was just that his technical level was too strong and covered up his other weaknesses.
When he arrived at the 17th floor, Zheng Ren got off the elevator by himself.
Hearing the sound of footsteps following beside him, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Uncle Ning, what's the matter?"
MD！ What did he say?
It was rare for Xie Ning to glare at Zheng Ren fiercely.
This is my home, okay? You son of a b * tch actually asked me if I had anything to do. Is this called turning the guest into the host or a dove occupying the magpie's nest?
His little cabbage was going to be taken away by the pig, and this pig seemed to think that the entire vegetable field was his.
Xie Ning expressed his anger.
He sighed again in his heart. What was going on?
Zheng Ren saw Xie Ning's unfriendly gaze and quickly avoided looking at his eyes. He walked to the door, opened it, changed his shoes, and entered the house.
"What are you here for?" Xie Ning asked with hostility.
"Little Cabbage."
"…" Xie Ning's chest tightened, and his heartbeat accelerated.
"I bought these seeds some time ago. I said they were flowers, but they turned out to be cabbages." Zheng Ren did not notice the change in Xie Ning's mood. As he walked in, he said, "This is my first time growing cabbage. Yiren said that I'll fry a dish tonight."
Xie Ning was speechless.
Over the years, Xie Ning had met many people. He had never failed in the business world. No matter how cunning and treacherous a person was, they would not be able to take advantage of him.
However, he did not expect to be severely injured in front of Zheng Ren today.
Zheng Ren's words accurately hit the most vulnerable spot in Xie Ning's heart and had a critical effect.
Not only did he take over the nest, he even said that he raised the cabbage!
This was intolerable!
Zheng Ren began to dig the cabbage. It was not big and looked thin and small. However, the soil was still a little moist. It seemed that Xie Yiren had taken some time to come back and water it.
He did not know if this kind of cabbage could be eaten, but as he dug it, Zheng Ren felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.
"Uncle Ning, look, this is the cabbage I raised," Zheng Ren said with a smile. "At that time, I was tricked by someone. I wanted to raise flowers, but in the end, I raised cabbages."
Xie Ning looked at Zheng Ren clumsily digging the cabbage. It was as if he was looking at a pig that had just been released from the pen running unscrupulously in his vegetable field.
No matter how clumsy he was, the cabbage would still be taken away.
MD！
Xie Ning's heart ached a little. He held a mouthful of blood in his mouth and gritted his teeth.
"Uncle Ning, it's done," Zheng Ren said with a smile as he held the cabbage in his hand.
The mission was completed. He did not forget!
Well, overall, today was very satisfactory. Other than a little loss of composure when he picked up the plane, the rest of the day could basically be given 80 points.
Zheng Ren gave himself a high score without knowing what to do.
Xie Ning saw the pig that had just been released from the pen holding his own cabbage in its hand. It swaggered past in front of his eyes and casually greeted him.
Moreover, he even said that he raised it!
He actually said that he raised it!
He could not hit him nor scold him. No one knew the bitterness in Xie Ning's heart.
He fell silent. Xie Ning, who was invincible at the negotiating table in the afternoon, silently shed two lines of old father tears.
He watched as Zheng Ren skillfully changed his shoes and pressed the elevator button on the 25th floor. He did not know how many times this guy had secretly run around his vegetable field.
Xie Ning clenched his fists as he silently looked at the cabbage in Zheng Ren's hand.
Crunch, crunch.
"Uncle Ning, why don't you do it?" Zheng Ren held the cabbage and Xie Yiren's mission. He was satisfied and his speech became much smoother. "Su Yun has been talking for many days but there hasn't been any progress."
It was useless to praise himself! Xie Ning thought hatefully in his heart.
Now he only remembered to flatter him. What had he been thinking about!
Xie Ning roared in his heart. Lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and dark clouds rolled.
Zheng Ren was completely unaware. Holding the cabbage in his hand was like holding the entire world. This was the mission that Xie Yiren had given him. He had to deliver the cabbage to her.
When he reached the 25th floor, the elevator dinged. Zheng Ren remembered that Xie Ning was still by his side.
"Uncle Ning, please."
Xie Ning glared at Zheng Ren fiercely and walked out with his head held high.
At the very least, he was still the owner of this vegetable field … It was just that the cabbage was already in Zheng Ren's hands.
At the thought of this, Xie Ning's father's tears surged like a river.
Sigh …
He walked in front and let out a long sigh in his heart.
Xie Ning, who had always had a clear goal and simple and effective methods, also showed a trace of confusion. Although it was said that a girl would definitely get married when she grew up, it was really too depressing to be with a son-in-law like Zheng Ren.
When they entered the house, Xie Yiren and Lin Wan were talking and laughing while wearing aprons. They were about to prepare to cook.
"Dad, you guys take a seat first. Mom and I are going to cook," Xie Yiren said with a smile.
Looking at his family's cabbage, Xie Ning felt a lump in his throat. He was really a little reluctant. However, no matter how reluctant he was, there was nothing he could do.
That was all in the past. This stupid pig had already been presumptuous in his vegetable field countless times. Now, he was still holding the cabbage in his hand, thinking that it was planted by him!
