Chapter 721 - 732: What Is His Attitude?
He envisioned Xia Xiaonuan’s swollen eyes before him.
In the past, whenever Qiqi got slightly hurt, she would act spoiled and cry to him, like a fragile porcelain doll.
But now, she has not only grown up but also become stronger.
Her eye was hit and swollen like that, yet she could endure the pain and threaten Nangong Yaoling to eat.
Liang Shaochen’s lips slowly curved into a mocking smile.
He drove straight home; Liang Jingzong was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper.
"Dad, I’m back."
Liang Jingzong said to the housekeeper, "Prepare for dinner."
"Yes, sir."
"I already ate outside, Dad, you go ahead and eat." Liang Shaochen said, while pulling off his tie and taking off his coat to hold in his hand.
He got up to go upstairs.
Liang Jingzong called him, "Shaochen, come over, I need to talk to you."
At the staircase, Liang Shaochen hesitated slightly, looked at his father, and the housekeeper stepped forward to respectfully take his coat.
"Young master, the old master has been waiting for you for a while. Please go over."
Liang Shaochen nodded and sat down in front of the leather sofa.
"Dad, what’s the matter?"
"Today, Old Sir Nangong called, asking us to meet up when convenient to finalize the engagement date. We decided on this Saturday, you should postpone your work at the company."
"Dad... didn’t I already tell you, I don’t agree. Why did you go to the Nangong Family again?"
"Son, I did it for your own good! I’ve already spoken with Mr. Nangong, and Zhong Li agreed too! Just listen to me this time, you can do whatever you want with other matters in the future."
"I won’t marry Nangong Zhongli."
Liang Jingzong forcefully threw the newspaper onto the table.
The housekeeper standing beside him trembled slightly.
He quickly said respectfully, "Sir, please don’t get angry. The young master is young and doesn’t understand the intricacies. Please talk to him calmly..."
"Talk calmly, haven’t I been talking calmly to him? Look at his attitude!" Nangong Jinlie shouted, his face flushed with anger.
Liang Shaochen helplessly said, "Dad, why are you being unreasonable?"
"I’m unreasonable? It’s the parents’ orders, the matchmaker’s words. Your marriage to Zhong Li is decided! I’m telling you, whether you agree or not, you have to agree!"
Liang Shaochen abruptly stood up, "You are simply unreasonable!" After he finished, he walked to the housekeeper and snatched his coat, then strode towards the door.
"Young master! Please listen to the old master this once!" The housekeeper stepped forward to advise.
Liang Shaochen couldn’t heed the advice, rushed out the door, and slammed it shut. Soon, the sound of a car starting was heard.
Liang Jingzong’s forehead veins bulged, tremblingly pointed his index finger at the door, "Housekeeper Li, look, look! Now that his wings have grown hard, he starts to disregard his father!"
"Sir, your health can’t afford getting angry, the young master will come to understand someday." The housekeeper stepped forward and nervously soothed his chest.
...
The car aimlessly drove on the road, Liang Shaochen didn’t know where he was going, nor where he could go.
He suddenly felt that all his years of hard work seemed to have been for nothing.
Suddenly, he felt he had lost everything.
Thinking of Xia Xiaonuan, her indifference, her coldness, his chest felt as if a stone was blocking it, making him feel suffocated.
Could it be that loving someone also changes with time?
