Chapter 29.9: Climbing up Half A Moon

Zheng Xie followed the back of his father and step into the study.

He entered the room and stood at the doorway, not daring to step forward. Father Zheng sat down in the study only chair, and picked up the very thick original bibliographic book from the table. He studied the t.i.tled of the book. Is was the book that Zheng Xie was reading several days ago. His face clouded: “Close the door!”

Zheng Xie closed the door. He calmly and politely asked: “Do you want some tea?”

Father Zheng took the book in his hand and forcefully slam on the table. “You are so daring! Your last incident is not ugly enough. You really want to force me to death?”

Zheng Xie bowed his head.

“Speak up! Did you not dare say anything?”

“I did not mean it.” Zheng Xie said sincerely.

“s.h.i.+t!” Father Zheng cursed the words that he had not used for many years angrily. “If you did not mean it, had already come to this stage. If you had done it intentionally, what would it had become?”

Zheng Xie remain unapologetically.

After swearing, Father Zheng cooled down a little: “The reason for engagement break off is this?”

“This has nothing to do with her.”

“Tell me about your plans for the future.”

“I would like to listen to your opinion.” In case of his father still being in the fit of anger, whatever he said would be dismissed. It would be better for him to use the soft approach now.

Father Zheng turn to the thick hardcover book and used it as a gavel and beat heavily onto the table while said angrily: “You have nothing to fear? Have you had been compared with the others’ children, those who said that I have nothing to worry about…. I see that even if they had done 10 stupid thing, it is nothing comparing with you. Not only had you done it once. You did it twice!”

“I am sorry, father.”

“I am giving you a week to sort things out! You had caused trouble towards Miss Yang. If you dare to cause any trouble towards He He, I will break your leg!”

“I know. I want to send her out to study and after a year, after the whole incident is almost forgotten, I want to marry her.”

“In less than a month, you had already caused so much trouble. You still want to wait a year later? You get married now. Immediately! So dark and dreary!”

“Of course. But there are the Yang family emotions that we need to consider. And don’t we have to take the family face into account? Your face…..”

“That is your problem. You deal with it on your own! I just want results!”

“Yes.” Zheng Xie replied.

“You also know face value? I thought you had put the whole virtue to shame. He He is your sister. You want to treat her like how you treat other women? Do you think that just because she do not have a father, there is no one to make the call for her?”

“I will deal with it well.”

“You better handle it properly. If not, I will deal with you!”

“But He He have her own ideas.” Zheng Xie whispered.
