Chapter 72 (1/2)

He stayed in his study as usual.

Xiang Defeng is used to sitting on the reclining chair and listening to the clatter of the pages rolled up by the wind. He is thinking about things with his eyes closed.

The housekeeper knocked at the door. ”Mr. Xiang, Miss Song Wen, the eldest daughter of the Song family, is here to see you. Can you meet her downstairs?”

The outsider's disturbance makes Xiang Defeng frown. He slowly opens his eyes. Although his skin has relaxed and looks like a thousand ravines, and his eyes have become turbid, his eyes are still sharp.

”What is she doing here?”

Although the Song family and Xiang family meet each other, they don't need each other's daughter to visit in person. What's more, Xiang Chaojue has broken up with her.

I'm afraid the sudden visit is for another purpose.

The housekeeper conveyed the reason given by Song Wen to Xiang, ”Miss Song said that she came to visit you in the name of her parents. Her parents heard that you are in poor health recently and always wanted to see you. However, they are too busy with their work and can't get away. They can only let their daughter Song Wen do it for you first.”

This kind of polite words in ordinary families can be regarded as the full answer, but Xiang Defeng has met too many people and things at his age, and this trick can't deceive him at all.

This little girl named Song Wen came to him for help.

Even so, Xiang Dafeng said he would like to see him. He told the housekeeper frankly, ”since she refuses to disclose the real reason, it's OK for us to see her.”

”I see.”

Song Wen has been waiting peacefully in the dining room chair, like a lady who has not yet been involved in the world.

This time, she just wanted to test her attitude towards the old man. As long as she can get the support of Xiang Defeng, it also means that she can get the approval of Xiang Chaojue.

When Song Wen sat alone and her thoughts drifted away, Xiang finally went downstairs with a sandalwood inlaid emerald crutch.

He sat down at the top of the long table, in her upper corner.

To de Feng swept her one eye, the attitude is difficult to distinguish joy and anger, ”to all come, eat a meal and then go.”

”Thank you for your kindness to Grandpa.” Song Wen nods and smiles. She is careful in every move. She is afraid that if she doesn't do it well, she will be angry.

Xiang Defeng is also observing her, but he is more secretive. Almost quietly, he discovers the purpose of Song Wen's coming here.

”I hear you are here today to visit me on behalf of your parents?” Hulu Xiang Defeng is not in a hurry to expose her.

Song Wen kept a gentle smile and nodded, ”yes, this time I also brought imported red ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, which can supplement your body.”

”Thank you, and thank your parents for me.”

”You're welcome.”

Xiang Chaojue showed a stiff smile. He turned the subject to her and said, ”how are you doing recently? I heard that you have a lot of contact with my grandson when you return home. ”

As soon as Song Wen heard that he had an opinion, she quickly explained, ”well, I plan to cooperate with him recently...”

Before her voice fell, Xiang interrupted her explanation in a deep voice, ”do you think I will believe it?”

However, in a simple sentence, his anger has already been revealed. His strong air of not being angry and self-confident is not allowed to be refuted by anyone.

Song Wen raises her head and looks at him. She avoids his sight because she is frightened.

Just when she was about to come in, the housekeeper pushed the door in. He pushed the cart, which was full of food.

”Dinner, gentlemen.”

Xiang Defeng nodded, poked the floor with crutches, made a dull sound, motioned to her, ”eat first, eat again.”

”Yes.”

Song Wen's tense nerves instantly relaxed. She was in a cold sweat unconsciously. It can be seen how terrible the dignity of the old man is.

After eating the meal, the delicious food on the table seemed dull to Song Wen.

But she's not afraid, she just can't wait to finish the boring meal and get to the point.

”I won't hide it any more. I'll tell the old man.” As soon as Song Wen sat down, she was ready to die.

To the old man is not surprised, or hate, he sat opposite her, calmly eating fruit after dinner, to respond to her, ”say it.”

”I want to get back together with Chao Jue.”

”But you've broken up. Chaojue gave you a chance. You don't cherish it.” Xiang Defeng doesn't like Song Wen. He doesn't want to recall the past because it has nothing to do with him.

What he wants is a granddaughter-in-law who can help his family, not a pleasant woman.

Song Wen guessed that he would say so. She clenched her hand on her knee and begged him firmly again, ”please let Chao Jue give me a chance. This time I'll hold it. I really love him and deserve him on my terms, don't I? Instead of letting Chao Jue marry a woman of unknown origin, it's better to let me, who knows the root and the bottom, be his wife. ”

Song Wen is 100% confident in her conditions. In fact, if she is with Xiang Chaojue, she is a good-looking woman.

Xiang Laozi had insisted on opposing the idea of returning to Chaojue, but now he thinks that Song Wen has a point.

After all, Xiang Chaojue had already married a woman who was not in charge of her family and had a son, as she said. It would be a great shame to Xiang's family if this story was spread.

Silence for a long time, to the old man finally made a response, he is still angry and happy, I will consider what you say, if I want, I can help you, but in the end you still have to fight for it yourself

”I understand that I will live up to your expectations.”

”Don't be happy too soon. I didn't expect it.” Xiang Defeng mercilessly demolishes the platform. He hums coldly, and his attitude to Song Wen is still cold.

Song Wen is well versed in the world. She seizes the right time and takes the initiative to say goodbye with a respectful attitude. ”I won't disturb your rest. I'll visit you again next time.”
