Chapter 34: A strange combination of circumstances
"you?"
Song Xiangzhong looked at his son subconsciously, as if he wanted to ask him how he knew, but in the end he didn't ask anything.
"Dad, I have grown up and I can take care of myself. What you should consider is not me, but the feelings of Aunt Tang and Big Brother."
Song Xiangzhong felt even more guilty after his son's words. Looking back on the first half of his life, it was undoubtedly a failure.
This was also the first time that father and son had a heart-to-heart conversation, and they talked until late at night.
Song Xiangzhong lay in bed and couldn't sleep. Is he really willing to give up Chu Ying?
That night he made a decision. He decided to pursue Tang Chuying again, give the two of them a future, and not let this regret continue.
Song Jianye supported his father's decision.
He once heard other people talk about his father, and they always talked about his father with some regrets.
It seems that after his father and mother got married, the originally gentle and elegant Song Xiangzhong became cold and indifferent, as if he had a sense of seeing through the world of mortals.
It's just right now that both parents are free and no longer have to fall into a vicious circle to continue torturing each other.
Early the next morning, Song Xiangzhong went to Fu'an Lane. He couldn't wait to tell Chu Ying his decision. Even if she didn't agree, he would keep guarding her until she agreed.
Standing by the window, Song Jianye looked at his father who left in a hurry, a smile flashed in his eyes, go ahead and pursue your happiness.
In Fu'an Lane, Song Xiangzhong stood hesitantly outside Tang's house. He seemed a little scared and unwilling to leave. He just stood in front of the door and stared, as if he wanted to stare out a hole.
Suddenly, the door creaked open, and Song Xiangzhong suddenly raised his head and met those cold and terrifying eyes.
Tang Chengnan's sharp eyes stared at him, seeming to penetrate his heart. His face was full of disgust, "What are you doing here?"
Song Xiangzhong subconsciously took a step back. He twitched the corners of his mouth, as if he wanted to laugh, but found that he couldn't.
Every time he met this child, he felt guilty. He was sorry for Jianye, but how could he be worthy of this child?
"I..." He wanted to say that I came to see your mother, but he couldn't say it, as if something was stopping him.
"I remember I said, don't disturb our lives, it seems you forgot."
Tang Chengnan smiled sarcastically and looked at him coldly, his words full of malice.
"Why, you divorced your wife, and now you have the idea of my mother again. Are you worthy of it?"
Tang Chengnan leaned close to his ear and shouted, "Get out!"
His eyes were full of violence and madness, and it seemed like they would tear him apart in the next second.
Such Tang Chengnan is terrifying, his life seems to be full of distortion and hatred.
"Don't bother her, otherwise I don't know what crazy behavior I will do."
His mother was his enemy. Anyone who dared to attack her would have his claws chopped off without mercy.
"What happened back then was not as simple as you thought. I did it not only to protect myself and the Song family, but also to protect your mother's family. I..."
A trace of bitterness flashed across Song Xiangzhong's face, and when he faced the wolf-like eyes of his eldest son, his explanation was a little feeble.
At that time, the Yang family was at its peak, and the Song family was almost lost. The Tang family had troubles one after another, and even the father-in-law was implicated.
He wanted to save his father-in-law's family, so he had no choice but to fight with Yang Juanjuan.
Yang Juanjuan was so crazy, especially in the following years.
He didn't dare to gamble, so he had to send Chu Ying's family away overnight.
Later, in order to confuse the Yang family, he did not dare to do anything openly and could only find someone to take care of them secretly.
The power of the Yang family is too great. It is only because the situation has improved in recent years that the power of the Yang family has been greatly reduced.
However, the skinny camel was bigger than the horse, so they still did not dare to be careless.
However, the Yang family has offended many people in those years, and the clues uncovered by the above investigation this time are enough for the Yang family to completely leave the center of power in Beijing.
The Yang family has been arrogant for more than ten years, and now it has completely collapsed.
It's not that he is unkind, but the behavior of Yang Juanjuan and the Yang family is really beyond sympathy.
"Heh." Tang Chengnan sneered and looked at him condescendingly, "Song Xiangzhong, who do you think you are? Do you think..."
"Chengnan." Tang Chuying's voice came from behind, stopping his unspoken words.
A kind word can warm someone in the winter, but a bad word can hurt someone in the winter. She doesn't want the father and son to get into trouble.
Song Xiangzhong subconsciously looked back and saw that she was still as beautiful as when he first saw her.
"Mom, why did you come out?"
Tang Chengnan glared at Song Xiangzhong fiercely, but said nothing excessive in front of his mother.
"If I hadn't come out, I wouldn't have known you were talking to your dad like this." Tang Chuying frowned, dissatisfied with her son's attitude.
As the person involved, of course she knew that Xiang Zhong was not to blame for that incident.
What's more, she didn't blame him. After all, he was also a victim.
"Mom, do you know what you are talking about?"
Tang Chengnan's expression was a little distorted. He didn't understand why his mother wanted to favor that man. He was clearly an irresponsible man.
"Chengnan, didn't mom tell you before?"
Tang Chuying was a little helpless. Cheng Nan really misunderstood his father too deeply.
"You should know that your father was not at fault in the whole matter. The reason why he chose to compromise was to protect us. Besides, he couldn't control the situation at that time."
If he really insisted on going his own way, not only would he not be able to protect them, but he would also destroy the Song family. Even if Xiang Zhong really chose her, she would not allow it.
Tang Chengnan twisted his face and said nothing, obviously still unwilling to believe it. He only wanted to believe what he saw.
"Then he is not a good person. After all, he is his wife of more than ten years. He kicks her away as soon as she is told. How can he be a good person?"
"Chengnan."
Tang Chuying's expression was gloomy and she looked at him displeased, "Things are not what you think."
When she returned to Beijing this time, she didn't want to renew her relationship with Xiang Zhong. After all, he had a wife and children, and she couldn't do anything to interfere in other people's marriages.
But now they are divorced, and it's because of Yang Juanjuan, so she doesn't have any psychological burden.
She also didn't want her son to misunderstand him as a heartless person because of this incident.
After hearing his mother's explanation, Tang Chengnan sneered, "What does he take you for?"
Tang Chuying was a little helpless. It seemed that her son might not be able to accept Xiang Zhong for a while. She couldn't help but look at Song Xiangzhong apologetically.
"Xiang Zhong, please go back first. We can discuss our matters later."
You have missed it for so many years, so why bother clinging to a moment.
Song Xiangzhong didn't know that no one knew the pain in Song Xiangzhong's heart when he saw his son who was dismissive of him.
"I have submitted an application. I will leave Beijing in three days and go to Fengxi County to work. If you need any help, please go directly to my elder brother and sister-in-law. They..."
"No need." Tang Chengnan interrupted him directly, "We don't need your help for anything. If you want to leave, just leave quickly. Don't be an eyesore here."
Song Xiangzhong smiled bitterly, then turned and left.
But he didn't think about giving up. He still had half his life left, and Cheng Nan would always be able to agree.
