Enchanting His Heart: His Little Fox
Chapter 540 - 538: My Shoulders Aren’t Broad Enough to Support You Two, So Stop Dreaming
Tang Si listened to these words, his expression unchanged, as if he was already accustomed to it all.
He had heard such filthy language countless times before, even more venomous than this.
His expression was calm, not even putting these words to heart, maybe he didn’t even listen to them.
"Did you hear what I’m saying?"
"I heard." Tang Si: "You called me a sickly person, said I’m getting my comeuppance."
"But I’m sorry, just because you say so, doesn’t make it true." Tang Si looked at them: "If you’ve come to claim my life today, go ahead, if you have the ability, kill me now."
He spoke slowly and deliberately: "If not, wait for me to repay you kindly."
Tang Si was not a frail, ordinary man.
He had the calm demeanor of someone who had experienced much and had a more mature mind.
He knew clearly, some words were just worth hearing, not taking to heart, otherwise, he would have died of heartbreak long ago.
Wen Heshang gritted his teeth, realizing this was not the right moment to act, today’s main purpose was to talk.
"As your father, if one road doesn’t work, naturally you try another." Wen Heshang forced himself to hold back his temper: "Your brother is dead now, blaming you serves no purpose; you said it yourself, that’s the law."
"Although your brother made mistakes, surely he should have a chance to correct them, he shouldn’t have just died like that." Wen Heshang continued: "If you hadn’t caught him, we would have persuaded him to turn himself in."
Tang Si listened, in one ear and out the other.
Turn himself in? More like help him escape.
"But since things have reached this point, there’s no use talking about it, we came today to discuss another matter." Wen Heshang said: "Upon seeing you just now, our emotions were high and that’s normal, as you are a murderer in our eyes."
"But needless to say, you are our only son now."
"So when we grow old, you are the only one we can rely on."
"Ha ha ha..." Tang Si suddenly burst into laughter.
It was just too funny.
What kind of nonsense is this?
"First, you demand I atone for Wen Mu’s life, then you say you want me to care for you in your old age?" Tang Si sneered: "My shoulders aren’t broad enough to carry the two of you, don’t dream."
"Legally speaking, you have that obligation, you can’t refuse."
"Don’t talk to me about the law here." Tang Si looked up, his voice crisp: "If I wanted to sue you, you’d be locked up until your old age."
"Tang Si, do you know what you’re saying? I am your biological father." Wen Heshang looked at Tang Si, somewhat incredulously.
Though their relationship wasn’t great, he wouldn’t say such rebellious things.
Tang Si might not return home, but he would still follow the family’s arrangements.
But somehow over time, he gradually broke away from the family’s control.
Wen Heshang: "Even if you don’t accept your mother or stepmother, you still have to acknowledge me as your father."
"I have already planned your future, you don’t need this job anymore." Wen Heshang took out a photo, that of a woman, and handed it to him: "She’s the heiress of a wealthy family, she’s taken a liking to you."
"As long as you marry this woman, our two families will be joined by marriage." Wen Heshang said: "Your brother is dead now, the vast Wen family can only fall to you, you should work on expanding it."
If Tang Si refused, then he would resort to forceful means.
Bo Shiyin sat nearby with legs crossed, remarking sarcastically: "Those who rely on marriage to grow are parasites, with no strength of their own but still wish to climb higher by begging others."
"Can you shut up?" Wen Heshang glared at Bo Shiyin.
Bo Shiyin: "You’re just angry out of shame."
"As it is, the Wen family doesn’t have much money either." Bo Shiyin tilted his head: "I think even a regular doctor like me could easily outmatch your family, believe it or not?"
"Shut up!"
Bo Shiyin shrugged: "Alright then."
He glanced toward the entrance: "Miss Song, someone’s trying to take your husband away."
Song Yi had just returned and saw the scene before her.
Tang Si frowned slightly upon seeing Song Yi return; he didn’t want her getting involved.
Wen Heshang’s demeanor weakened slightly upon seeing Song Yi.
After all, behind Song Yi was the Song Family, not that it mattered. Just meeting Song Yi herself was more than they could handle.
Song Yi stepped in: "Oh, really?"
She looked at Wen’s parents: "You want to snatch him away?"
She noticed the photo in his hand.
She took the photo and looked at it: "She’s quite pretty."
She glanced at Tang Si: "Do you like her?"
Wen Heshang snatched the photo back: "Miss Song, this is our family business, I hope you don’t interfere."
"Oh." Song Yi sat down: "Go on then."
Wen Heshang: "..."
He was speechless toward a woman like this.
Song Yi was someone you absolutely shouldn’t offend; her capabilities were well known in the industry.
Wen’s mother also knew her place at this moment.
Bo Shiyin found the whole scene amusing. These two feared nothing, yet were intimidated by Song Yi.
If they feared the wealthy, they should have been more afraid of Tang Si.
Wen Heshang gritted his teeth: "Can you leave? I want to talk to him in private."
Tang Si looked at Song Yi: "You can go out first. I’ll have a word with him."
This issue needed resolving.
"Fine." Song Yi listened to Tang Si.
...
Song Yi and Bo Shiyin waited outside.
"Aren’t you worried about what those two might do to him inside?" Bo Shiyin said: "Tang Si is in a vulnerable state right now."
Song Yi: "He wouldn’t be overpowered by those two idiots."
"Did you hear them calling him a sickly person?" Bo Shiyin adjusted his glasses: "He’s indeed in a pretty weak state now."
He hinted: "If those two don’t bully him, once they come out, you wouldn’t consider going in to have a go?"
Song Yi tilted her head: "Do you have some kind of grudge against Tang Si? Why treat him like that?"
"Not quite."
He just enjoyed watching the drama, found it amusing.
"Bang——" Suddenly, a loud noise came from the room.
Song Yi and Bo Shiyin immediately pushed the door open to enter.
Saw Tang Si fall to the floor beside the bed.
The sight jolted Song Yi’s heart, she went over to support Tang Si: "Are you okay?"
"Are you stupid?" Song Yi: "When they manhandle you, why don’t you call for help?"
Wen Heshang and Wen’s mother were bewildered, dumbfounded.
"Knock knock knock——" At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
Then four or five people entered.
"Police." Pan Juanfeng flashed his badge, "Take these two away."
"Yes!"
Soon, both Wen Heshang and Wen’s mother were detained.
Wen Heshang was flustered; wasn’t today supposed to be his arena, with absolutely nothing going wrong?
"What are you doing? I didn’t break the law, why are you arresting me?"
Pan Juanfeng sneered, "Whether or not you broke the law, you should know yourself."
"Right now, we’re catching someone red-handed on the spot."
Wen Heshang: "How did you catch someone red-handed? I’m with my son, he’s my son, at his age, I ask him to get married, I ask him to support me. Is that wrong?"
Pan Juanfeng: "Before discussing whether he should support you, let’s head back to the station to talk about how you treated him, how you schemed against him, beat him, and abandoned him."
"W-what?" At this moment, Wen Heshang felt his entire world collapse.
A few days ago, a woman found him and said she would help him.
So he poured out everything between him and Tang Si, believing that woman could help him rise higher.
After all, that woman contacted the heiress of a big financial family, and they had even met.
But now it seems...
He was duped by that woman!
Wen’s mother’s eyes were bloodshot: "Why, why are you arresting us? If you’re arresting someone, it should be the murderer. Why arrest us?!"
"Take them away," Pan Juanfeng ordered.
...
After the two were taken out, Pan Juanfeng looked at Tang Si, "Take a good rest, Captain Tang, looking forward to your comeback."
"Alright," Tang Si smiled, "Thank you for your hard work."
...
After they all left, it seemed like the matter had settled.
Bo Shiyin: "You two talk, I’ll head out first and get some medicine."
He wisely left them to their own space.
Song Yi frowned, "What’s going on?"
"It’s simple," Tang Si said, "If you break the law, you should be arrested."
"What’s going on with you?" Song Yi asked, "Did those two really lay hands on you?"
"No," Tang Si replied blandly, "I fell myself."
That was just a solid proof.
"Someone’s backing you," Song Yi looked at Tang Si, "Who is it?"
"I didn’t ask her to help," Tang Si replied, "Even without her, I could’ve resolved this myself."
Looking at Tang Si, it seemed he didn’t want to mention that person at all.
"Can I come in?" A woman’s voice came from outside at this moment.
"No," Tang Si replied.
But as soon as the words fell, the woman outside pushed the door open and came in.
Looking around, she was dressed in designer brands, exuding elegance.
She seemed like a prestigious lady from a wealthy family, particularly graceful.
Song Yi stood up, squinted, and sized up the woman in front of her.
She was very beautiful, and her demeanor seemed somewhat familiar...
The woman also sized up Song Yi, suddenly laughing: "You’re Ah Si’s girlfriend, aren’t you?"
Song Yi furrowed her brows, not speaking.
Tang Si’s bad attitude toward her indicated that this woman wasn’t welcome.
Hence, Song Yi wouldn’t be too friendly either.
"Really?" The woman asked again when Song Yi didn’t reply.
Song Yi smiled politely yet distantly: "Auntie, my boyfriend just said not to come in, and you just pushed the door open like this, isn’t that a bit rude?"
"Don’t think you can rely on your age to be rude."
Upon hearing Song Yi’s words, the woman thought this young girl was sharp-tongued and seemingly difficult to deal with.
She was small and soft, yet seemed to have thorns all over.
She smiled, "Didn’t your mother teach you what manners are?"
Song Yi smiled: "My mother taught me to be polite, but also taught me that politeness is for people who deserve it. Do you agree?"
"Ah Si, look at what kind of girlfriend you’ve gotten yourself?" The woman looked at Tang Si, her tone filled with dissatisfaction, "I don’t approve of you two being together."
"Someone like you should find someone mature and steady," she said, "Not this young girl, I hope you find someone who can take care of you, and not someone who needs your care."
Tang Si’s eyes were cold as he looked at her, "Who are you to educate me?"
His tone was mocking, filled with coldness.
The woman’s face changed suddenly.
"How can you speak to me like that? It’s not my choice that I wasn’t by your side all these years, blame your dad." She looked at Tang Si, "I’ve been looking for you for so many years, your dad said you’d already sacrificed during a mission, said one of his sons is adopted."
"It wasn’t until I returned to the country that I found out you’re my biological son."
Tang Si smiled, his tone cold, "What’s that got to do with me? That’s your business."
"I’m no one’s son, I’m just an orphan. Don’t come pretending now I’m your son when I’ve grown up," Tang Si said, "I survived by luck enough to grow this old, otherwise you wouldn’t have a damn son!"
Tang Si looked at her, "Don’t drag your previous grudges onto me, my life is already miserable enough, don’t come and mess it up when I’m finally doing okay, thank you."
Song Yi then realized why this woman felt familiar.
Tang Si resembled his mother, no wonder the woman was so beautiful.
Even their eyes were quite similar.
"Ah Si," she lowered her brows, "This matter should be blamed on that awful dad of yours, he was the one who cheated, went to find other women, told me you died, then lied to you saying I died. At that time, there was indeed a serious accident, you witnessed it yourself, but I didn’t die directly."
"I went abroad for treatment."
"All these things should be blamed on that awful dad of yours, not me."
Tang Si sneered: "This matter blames no one but twists of fate. Blame my birth being a mistake."
"Blame me for existing in this world, marking a stain on your lives."
"You think a convenient son is easy to claim, damn, I’m almost thirty, you come back recognizing me? Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?"
Tang Si couldn’t judge their previous generation’s affairs.
But people who should disappear should vanish cleanly.
He was more disgusted with how she hadn’t fulfilled her duty as a mother, regardless of the reason, yet emerged to play the mother’s role, telling him how he shouldn’t be and what he should do.
He didn’t hate this so-called biological mother, nor did he want any entanglement with her.
Tang Si: "Please leave."
"I can’t leave! This isn’t my fault."
"I love you more than your girlfriend, everything I do, everything I say, is for your own good, I wouldn’t harm you."
