Chapter 378 Conversation between father and son
Jiang Jingcheng was a little nervous with his legs shaking and pressed his lips together. In his view, his father was severe and serious. He thought his father was a great man and always showed respect to him even if his father didn’t spend much time with him during his growth.
He believed that his father was just like a tall and straight tree which would stand still forever.
“Dad, thank you.”
These abrupt words stunned both of them. Time seemed to stop at this moment. They looked at each other and exchanged a kind of complex emotion with their eyes. There was a subtle emotional connection between them.
About five seconds later, they scratched their heads and laughed together.
“Jingcheng, is there anything wrong these days? I heard that you got a fight with the president of Mo Group. Is that true?” Jiang Jianguo said in a soft tone. As he raised his head, he picked up the glass of water and blew it to make it cooler. The wrinkles on his forehead were more and more obvious.
Under this condition, Jiang Jingcheng got more relaxed. His father was more like an intimate friend now. Staying with him, Jiang Jingcheng was so comfortable.
However, when speaking of Mo Yichen, he was stung because he didn’t like him at all. He hated that Mo Yichen always looked aloof from worldly affairs and took himself too seriously.
“Yes… However, I didn’t do it first. I don’t know what happen to these reporters who like distorting the fact. I really want to sue them all.” He frowned and was becoming more and more excited when he was talking.
The reporters rambled on without any basis. Some of them said Jiang Jingcheng held a grudge against Mo Yichen because of love affairs, and some said Jiang Jingcheng got a fight with Mo Yichen because he lost his head. Of course there were some reports which were on Jiang Jingcheng’s side, but it could be ignored because of the too small quantity.
As a result, all of the blame and abuse rushed to him. Fortunately, his normal life was not affected by those things.
“Alas. Poor boy, you can’t stop those reporters and you can’t stop people talk about you behind your back, either. Now, actually you are partly to blame. Would you like to tell me the reason that he got a fight with you?”
Jiang Jianguo looked at his son in confusion. He wanted to know what happened to him these days and what distressed him so much.
Jiang Jingcheng said nothing and lost in thought on the sofa.
All of a sudden, he got refreshed, straightened up and held his father’s hands. He told his father everything in detail, from Chen Qian’s persuasion at the very beginning to the bankruptcy of Gu Yan’s studio. He told every detail to Jiang Jianguo.
Jiang Jianguo instantly got the point of the whole thing. It was a play directed and acted by a woman named Chen Qian. He felt so bad when he found that his son said everything he could to defend that woman.
In Jiang Jianguo’s view, his son was a clever and witty boy when he was young. He did not live up to his expectation when he grew up and was admitted to a Murica university. However, he lacked experience in love and couldn’t see through a person with regard to being in love.
Perhaps it was a case in point that those closely involved couldn’t see as clearly as those outside.
“Jingcheng, I think I have got it, but I also find some details unusual. I want to ask you that do you notice that there are some coincidences.”
Jiang Jingcheng was confused and shook his head. He had no idea about what his father implied.
“Well, I will not beat around the bush. Firstly, there is something wrong with the girl named Chen Qian. She was Mo Yichen’s ex-girlfriend, but she took pains to ask you to work at the company Mo Yichen’s current girlfriend ran. It doesn’t make sense.”
“In terms of the reason she told you, if I were you, I wouldn’t buy it because that was ridiculous. No one would make the promise before marriage. If she really loved you and wanted to married you, she would not be particular about these trifles. Alas…” Jiang Jianguo patted his son’s back and heaved a long sigh.
He hated intrigues most, but now those things all happened to his son who had been deceived all the time in this game.
Jiang Jingcheng became serious and his eyes were dimmer. He lowered his head and said nothing when he sat beside his father. At the very beginning, he doubted Chen Qian’s real intentions, but he kept deceiving himself. He put every word she said in his mind and hoped she could know his feelings someday and marry him happily.
However now, his father’s words woke him up. He felt so miserable and got a pale face.
“Jingcheng, as for the president of Mo Group, it was unwise of you to offend him. You got a fight with him and caused quite a stir. How could you leave a good impression to others in this social circle?”
“He is the president of Mo Group. You know he has the power to make you live an awful life. If you did offend him this time, what about your career?”
“Dad, it is not as serious as you think!” He raised his voice, but there was a kind of uncertainty in his tone. His father was right.
“I have told you what I could. Anyway, your future is the most important. Don’t ruin your future. As for love, don’t be carried away by it. A real man should have the confidence that the right person will come along at the right time!”
“Dad, I know. I really know. Go and get some rest. It’s getting late!”
Jiang Jingcheng urged his father to go back to his bedroom for rest. Jiang Jianguo glanced at his son, left the living room and walked into his bedroom.
Jiang Jingcheng sat in the living room dejectedly. He organized all the things in his mind and replayed every single word his father said in his head. He tried to find something to refute his father’s words.
However, he failed eventually.
He lay on the sofa, staring at the ceiling. What happened these days was just like a dream. From the beginning to the end, the truth was like an illusory bubble which would not last for several seconds.
