12. Ding, Deng Jingwen’s Favourability Value +2. The current Favourability Value is 90.
【Xie He：Baby, isn’t your concern a little late? Deng Jingwen already found his son 3 months ago.】
【444：……】
【Xie He：He raised me for eighteen years, and the Favourability Value towards me was only 20. When he said he didn’t want me, he threw me away just like that. Towards a son who didn’t grow up by his side, do you really think he’ll care about him that much? If it wasn’t for the sake of attacking me, to make sure that I understand my status, he probably wouldn’t have had any plans on bringing that son of his home for the time being. Regardless of whether this son is here or not, regardless of whether he’s alive or not, it actually isn’t important. Even if he didn’t find him, he could randomly choose another child, and tell me that he’s his son.】
【444：+_+】
【Xie He：His goal is to ensure that I realize that he’s not my father. Dad is the kind of person where the more he likes and cares about someone, the more he’ll want to teach them how to conduct themselves. Look, before, he didn’t care about what I did at all. Smile.JPG】
【444：……】Suddenly thinking that Deng Jingwen is really like Host dada, oh….
【Xie He：It just so happens that I’m like that too. The more I like and appreciate him, the more I want to teach him how to be a good person. I want to teach him how to be a “good father.” This is tough love, ah. 🙂 】
444：……He should just let the two scum hurt each other. He was just an innocent and pure system. _(:зゝ∠)_
First thing the next morning, people came to empty out Deng Zhuo’s room and moved everything directly into the warehouse behind the garden. They then quickly redecorated the room. No matter how Xie He threw a shameless fit, the proceedings did not slow down. He could only helplessly watch as his room disappeared from this house. Not a single thing remained. It was like his existence was being wiped out while he still lived.
A few days later, Deng Jingwen brought an unfamiliar youth back.
The young man was handsome. When he was alone, you wouldn’t think it, but when he stood next to Deng Jingwen, anyone could see that they were the true father-and-son pair. It was probably because he lived outside all of his life, but because he had suddenly been brought into the Deng Family, the youth looked cautious. His personality looked gentle and prudent, the complete opposite of Deng Zhuo’s.
Deng Jingwen ignored the fear and anger in Xie He’s eyes. He brought the young man before him and spoke in a flat voice, “Let me introduce you. This is Bai Xiaorui. From now on, call him Young Master.”
Xie He’s hands clenched tightly into fists. He glared at Bai Xiaorui fiercely. Without a word, he pushed the door open and rushed out.
Bai Xiaorui looked at Xie He’s parting figure nervously. He quietly asked Deng Jingwen, “Father…what should we do? He’s angry.”
Deng Jingwen smiled insipidly. He lowered his eyes and glanced at the boy, “It doesn’t matter. You don’t have to care about him. Let the butler take you up to your room to go rest, ba.”
Bai Xiaorui nodded lovably, “Oh. Ok.”
That night, Xie He did not return so as to express his inconsolable grief and inability to accept this reality. He slept in the pavilion in the flower garden that night. The next morning, he felt that his nose was stuffy. He had probably caught a cold.
【Xie He：Tsk tsk, with Dad’s cold-hearted and callous nature, if this was a spy drama, he could certainly play the role of the Chief of the Special Forces. 】
【444：He would certainly be one of those extremely cold-blooded and ruthless kinds! =_=#】
【Xie He：Only, that child of his is a kind-hearted, good child.】
【444：(⊙o⊙) Oh!】Host dada, you have always been very good at reading people!
&#k3010;Xie He&#kUU1J;For him to bring such a good child back only to use him like a prop, how can I bear it? Sigh.JPG&#k3011;
【444：……】This tone…Host dada wouldn’t have taken a fancy to Bai Xiaorui, ba? He’s very scared…._(:зゝ∠)_
&#k3010;Xie He&#kUU1J;Thinking about how I have to bully this kind of child, my conscience feels very heavy. &#k1U642; &#k3011;
444&#kUU1J;I don’t think you have such a thing, thank you very much.
Bai Xiaorui was a bit startled by the extravagance of the Deng Family. He tossed and turned all last night. He didn’t sleep a wink.
The next morning, when he woke up and had breakfast, he thought it over and over. Eventually, he decided to go find Deng Zhuo.
Bai Xiaorui originally had a happy family. Both Bai parents were professors and were very loving. They had noble characters, and they treasured and doted on their only son. Although they were not an extravagantly wealthy family, they were extremely happy and satisfied. However, the only unfortunate thing was that when Bai Xiaorui was 12, both Bai parents died in a car accident, leaving him orphaned. Very quickly, his family’s properties were snatched away by his relatives. He was adopted by his aunt on his mother’s side and lived an independent life.
Bai Xiaorui had learned how to earn his own living from a young age. He had encountered all sorts of hardships and had managed to make it into university on his own…it was just that he didn’t expect to suddenly find out one day that he was unexpectedly Deng Jingwen’s son.
He felt like an impoverished orphan who had suddenly turned into the most noble prince overnight. Even in his dreams, he didn’t dare to imagine this.
However, aside from happiness, Bai Xiaorui felt more nervousness. To him, the Bais were his parents. They were the ones who gave him a beautiful and warm childhood. Towards Deng Jingwen, he only felt fear and curiosity. Towards the biological son of the Bais, Deng Zhuo, his emotions were complex.
From a certain perspective, his current fortune was created from Deng Zhuo’s misfortune. Could Deng Zhuo…accept him?
Before coming to the Deng Family, Bai Xiaorui thought that he had to get along well with Deng Zhuo. Who knew that Deng Zhuo’s reaction would be so intense yesterday…it made him feel even more guilty.
Bai Xiaorui made inquiries with the servants. In the end, he found Xie He in the garden.
From afar, he looked at Xie He’s figure. He could only stare blankly for a while. It was really…a perfect face, a beauty that had completely been inherited from Mrs. Bai with another layer of ostentatious gorgeousness. He was so dazzling that Bai Xiaorui couldn’t look away. Instead, he felt his heart ache a bit. He missed Mom….
Bai Xiaorui forced himself to come out of his trance. He walked over to Xie He and took the lead to say, “Hi.”
Xie He turned to look at him, eyes ice-cold. He pursed his lips and did not speak.
Bai Xiaorui knew that he wasn’t in a good mood. He didn’t mind being ignored though. He took another step forward and nervously said, “You…didn’t come back last night, so I was a bit worried. So, I came over to check on you. Are you OK?”
Xie He stared at him fixedly. He suddenly sneered, voice sharp, “Who wants your fake concern?!”
Bai Xiaorui’s expression suddenly stiffened. However, he still tried to explain, “No…I’m really concerned about you. I actually want to be friends with you. Right…do you want to know about your real parents? I can tell you about them…” In his mind, those were incomparably beautiful memories. He thought that perhaps Xie He was curious about who his biological parents were. He was willing to share those memories with him like how friends would share a secret.
Who would have expected that Xie He would suddenly glare at him and shout, “Scram! I don’t want to listen! My dad is Deng Jingwen!”
Why, why is it that everyone wanted him to acknowledge his identity!?
He had already lost his father’s love. It couldn’t be that even his only identity had to be lost as well! He just wanted a bit of hope. Why did everyone have to remind him to acknowledge this!?
Why did they make it so that he could no longer deceive himself….?
Bai Xiaorui was frightened by Xie He’s intense reaction. He asked, rather flustered, “What’s wrong?” He clearly only had good intentions. Why did Xie He lose control like this?
“You stole my room. You stole my identity. You’re even about to steal my dad away! You stole everything from me! Who asked you to come and give me your pity?!” Xie He screeched, sorrow, heartbreak, and anger mixed in his eyes. His voice was hoarse, “I don’t need your fake goodwill! Get out of here! Get out!”
He could no longer control his anger. He kicked Bai Xiaorui down and raised his fist, wanting to beat him up!
However, his fist did not land on Bai Xiaorui. His hand was tightly gripped from behind. The grip was very strong. Xie He thought that his wrist was about to snap.
He turned to look behind him with red eyes. There, he saw Deng Jingwen staring at him calmly. Who knew when he had come?
Xie He’s complexion instantly changed. His face paled. There was only fear in his eyes as his voice shook, “Dad….”
Deng Jingwen’s eyes were like an abyss. He stared at Xie He expressionlessly and said, “Apologize.”
Xie He bit his lips, tears forming in his eyes.
He didn’t want to apologize. Why did he have to apologize? Bai Xiaorui had stolen everything from him! He was the one who should apologize to him! Why? Why?! He was being treated like this because he wasn’t Dad’s son?
Deng Jingwen’s hand slowly tightened, eyes cold. He repeated, “Apologize.”
Xie He trembled in pain. Cold sweat dripped down his forehead. The sadness and sorrow in his eyes slowly became a deathly-still despair.
He looked at Deng Jingwen’s expressionless eyes. He already didn’t remember how many times he’d knelt down before this man and been humiliated, how many times he’d been forced to say insincere words….
However, this time, he suddenly didn’t want to do this. In any case, no matter how much he yielded, no matter how much he compromised, he would never change Deng Jingwen’s decision. He could not move Deng Jingwen’s heart. Since it was like this, why should he apologize? Why should he yield?!
Xie He released his reddened lips and slowly let out a sad laugh. His expression was twisted from pain, “No, I won’t apologize.”
Bai Xiaorui slowly crawled up. He actually felt really upset just now. Clearly, he only had good intentions, and yet, he was treated like this. However, when he saw Xie He’s current appearance, the despair of someone at the end of their rope in his eyes, mournful like the entire world had abandoned him, he suddenly felt even sadder. So sad…just like when he had just lost everything in the past…
He had already stepped out of that suffering. Meanwhile, the suffering was just beginning for Xie He.
He hadn’t thought that things would be like this.
Bai Xiaorui was very afraid of Deng Jingwen, but he still braced himself and said, “Father, it’s fine…He didn’t do it on purpose. I’m fine.”
Who would have expected that before Deng Jingwen could speak, Xie He turned to him first. He used an extremely hateful gaze to glare at him, “Who asked you to plead on my behalf? Who wants your concern?”
Bai Xiaorui’s face paled, and he stepped back again, dispirited.
Deng Jingwen looked at the boy’s expression. He didn’t know why, but he couldn’t speak. It was the first time that he had seen such desolate despair in the boy’s eyes….
He was originally restless. He had made things clear. So long as the boy was obedient, he would give him even more. However, it was like the boy didn’t hear this at all. He waited all night, thinking that so long as the boy was willing to return, he would forgive him. He would treat him well and comfort him. Only, this time…the boy didn’t return. He would rather stay out on the cold pavilion all on his own than return to his room. He wasn’t even willing to beg him to pamper him.
Deng Jingwen did not sleep that night. He was not at ease regarding the boy. Therefore, he secretly followed after Bai Xiaorui.
Why didn’t the boy understand his thoughts? Clearly, it had always been so easy to make him yield, and yet, he was actually so stubborn regarding this matter!
Deng Jingwen was suddenly extremely angry. So, he came over to stop the boy, to order him to apologize. The boy needed to know what mistakes he had made! Since he didn’t want to depend on him as a lover, then he would have to bear the consequences.
It was just that the boy didn’t comply with his orders this time.
He could continue to pressure him, but at this moment, he could see the despair in the boy’s eyes. Suddenly…he couldn’t bear to continue on.
Deng Jingwen slowly let go.
Xie He threw him off. There was a deep red mark on the wrist of his hand that hung by his side. While trembling, he fixed his eyes on Deng Jingwen and then glanced at Bai Xiaorui, who stood at the side. His voice was full of rancour, “I hate you both!”
He then turned and ran!
But, he had only run about ten or so metres when he collapsed onto the floor. He didn’t climb back up.
Deng Jingwen watched the boy fall. He felt his heart stop. His steps were flustered for the first time as he rushed over to hold the boy in his arms. The boy’s face was scrunched up in pain; his face was white; and he was breaking out in a cold sweat. He had already fallen unconscious.
Deng Jingwen felt his forehead. It was scorching hot!
The author has something to say:
Don’t say my chapters are short…actually, I’m updating very earnestly. My fingers are wronged. When going out on a trip, other people go exploring outside. This author however types on their laptop in the hotel…I need encouragement with love! \(≧▽≦)/ (beat up)
Cough, cough, cough. First, we’ll have just a little angst as a warm up. We’re almost at 90. Time to start abusing Dad. We’ll let Dad do it once more. My dears, are you anticipating Dad’s tears of regret? Heehee.
This author wants to be kissed and hugged and lifted up high~~ (*￣3￣)╭ It’s said that this way, tomorrow’s update will be a bit longer. Heiheihei.
Finally, although we have a love and hate relationship every day, I still resolutely love you all.
Eve: Very much anticipating the abuse. Also…another fever??? Haha. Very dogblood.
Kara: Ah…I was treading the gong abuse, but now, I can’t help but feel that it’s rightly deserved after seeing things from DZ’s perspective more. How is XH able to make me sympathize with these characters every time? (´；ω；`)
