Chapter 1367 Extra: Father and Son Get Along
Shang Ke laughed sarcastically. His mother was still in control as always.
She was so old, but she still refused to delegate the power of the family.
She was afraid that her grandson would be out of control, right?
But how long could she control him?
"Eat." Shang Ke pulled the chairs of the dining table open with a big movement, not like the nobleman he used to be.
Now he seemed to have returned to his original nature, like a real farmer.
"Who knows you are here?" Shang Ke casually picked up the knife and fork, cutting the not very well baked bread and not very well fried steak in front of him, not caring that the food he ate was seriously unworthy of his worth.
"Except Mo Yumo, no one knows." Shang Xiaojin lowered his eyes and ate these unpalatable foods like his father.
The taste was expected.
But it was not difficult to accept.
It seems that his father has been used to it here for many years.
"Finally, you have made progress." Shang Ke glanced at Shang Xiaojin: "I'm afraid it won't be long before your grandmother's people will find me. What are your plans?"
"Father, I don't want to go back." Shang Xiaojin gritted his teeth and said: "I like a girl, but my grandmother doesn't like her and won't accept her."
"As expected." Shang Ke said indifferently: "She should have prepared a fiancée for you. As long as you nod, you can immediately go through the marriage procedures. However, it seems that you don't want to be controlled by her anymore. Who is that girl? She must be very good to give you courage instead of continuing to be a quail."
After saying that, Shang Ke laughed at himself: "Speaking of which, you are much better than me. If I could be like you back then..."
If he could be as brave as Shang Xiaojin back then, maybe he and Ruona wouldn't have reached this point today.
This son seems cowardly and incompetent, but in fact he is bold, careful and calculating.
Much better than him.
How can he still have the qualifications to preach?
Shang Ke smiled and didn't continue.
Shang Xiaojin took the initiative to explain: "Her name is Yuan Shisan, and she is the captain of the secret guards around Brother Nuo. The most important thing is that she... is six years older than me."
Shang Ke was stunned: "What?!"
Shang Ke really didn't expect that his son would fall in love with such a woman.
A captain of the secret guards, six years older than him.
This difficulty is more than three levels higher than Ruona back then!
No wonder Shang Xiaojin didn't even try to fight back, and just walked away.
Not to mention the old lady of the Shang family, even other ordinary families must find it difficult to accept, right?
"That girl..."
"She doesn't know anything." Shang Xiaojin said: "She never knows my mind. It has always been me who has been unrequited love."
Tsk tsk tsk.
The men of the Shang family, what sin has this committed.
One by one, all like this.
Shang Ke put down the knife and fork in his hand, not knowing what to say.
"I want to completely solve the troubles at home before I confess to her." Shang Xiaojin grabbed the knife and fork in his hand and said forcefully: "Father, I don't want to be a coward, I don't want to be a person who needs protection from others to survive. I like her, so I can't throw the trouble to her."
"Then how do you want to solve it?" Shang Ke asked.
"I don't know." Shang Xiaojin shook his head; "So, I came to you."
"If you plan to count on me to help you fight your grandmother, then you came to the wrong place." Shang Ke smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "Back then, I gave up the inheritance rights of the Shang family in exchange for freedom. I dared to give up because in addition to the things that the Shang family gave me, I also have my own industry and savings. And now, you have nothing, everything you have is given by the Shang family. If you want to break up with the Shang family, how will you live in the future? Love is not just talk, but more about the daily necessities. There are so many places to spend money and so many places where you need connections. Have you thought about it?"
Shang Xiaojin didn't speak.
"So you ran away from home without anything, and vowed to solve the problem. Why?" Shang Ke hit his son mercilessly.
"Father, what should I do?" Shang Xiaojin asked, "I need your help."
"Let's talk about it later." Shang Ke nodded perfunctorily: "Let's see. Okay, eat first, and rest early after eating. Have you not recovered from the jet lag yet?"
Shang Xiaojin suddenly felt that the food in his mouth had no taste.
The next day, Shang Xiaojin followed Shang Ke obediently and worked on his farm.
Changed out of expensive and delicate brand clothes, put on cheap and wear-resistant work clothes, put on rubber gloves and straw hats, bent over to carry all the dried hay to the pickup truck, and then drove it to the warehouse.
Although it is summer now, the cows have already started to store food for the winter.
Shang Ke originally thought that Shang Xiaojin could not bear this hardship and would give up after two days.
But he didn't expect that Shang Xiaojin not only persisted, but also did better and better.
After a few days of hard work, the delicate young man smoothed out his edges and corners, and finally lived like a normal person.
Finally, a week later, the Shang family finally found Shang Ke.
Shang Ke glanced at the nervous Shang Xiaojin and said, "You continue to work here, and I will go back to meet them. This is the first time in so many years that they have come to my door."
"Yes." Shang Xiaojin relaxed and looked at Shang Ke's back as he drove away in the pickup truck.
Shang Ke returned to the manor and saw the assistant Qing next to the old lady of the Shang family, wearing a three-piece blue suit and looking dignified, waiting at the door.
Shang Ke smiled to himself.
Look, the dog kept by the old lady is even more dog-like than she is.
"Sir, long time no see." Assistant Qing nodded reservedly, with a trace of disdain in his eyes.
Shang Ke didn't greet him, jumped out of the pickup truck and walked inside.
Assistant Qing couldn't help but frown due to the dust he brought.
Haha, he thought he was the heir to the Shang family?
What should I pretend to be?
Assistant Qing cursed secretly.
"What do you want to do with me?" Shang Ke poured himself a glass of water with a kettle and asked casually: "I have been away from the Shang family for so many years, so there shouldn't be any big problem with me, right?"
"Sir, I came here to ask on the orders of the old lady, have you seen Mr. Jin?" Assistant Qing put his hands in his pockets, and the arrogance in his eyes was clearly visible: "If I were here, I hope you could give me some advice. Mr. Jin, go home early to save the old lady from being angry."
"Not here." Shang Ke finished the drink in one breath, wiped his mouth and said, "You can go."
Assistant Qing choked and then said: "Sir, Young Master Jin is the only heir to the Shang family. If something happens to him..."
"If he makes a mistake, wouldn't you have a chance?" Shang Ke did not miss the calculation and ambition in Assistant Qing's eyes.
This man, ever since he appeared next to the old lady, has been causing trouble.
Although Shang Ke lives in Scotland, the news is not blocked.
He knows everything that happens in the country.
When Assistant Qing heard what Shang Ke said, a trace of uneasiness flashed across his face: "What are you talking about, sir? My surname is not Shang."
"So you also know that your surname is not Shang." Shang Ke said lightly: "I thought Assistant Qing had forgotten it. In addition to Shang Xiaojin, the Shang family also has other branches. I want to find someone to inherit it. , isn’t it a simple matter? By the time you support a puppet, won’t the huge Shang family be under your control?”
Assistant Qing's face suddenly turned pale.
How did Shang Ke know his plan?
This is indeed what he planned.
However, the puppet he wants is Shang Xiaojin, not anyone else.
"Sir, you must have misunderstood...I didn't..." Assistant Qing tried his best to explain something.
Shang Ke pointed at his eyes and said, "I'm not blind, I believe what I see. I know what Assistant Qing has planned. But don't worry, since I have given up the inheritance rights of the Shang family, I don't care who the Shang family ends up in. In fact, it makes no difference to me whether Shang Xiaojin inherits it or you get it. A penny from the Shang family. So, you can do whatever you want with the Shang family, no need to worry about me."
After saying that, Shang Ke turned around, picked up the tool box, and walked out: "I'm very busy here, so I won't let you eat."
Shang Ke threw the tool box into the car, jumped into the cab, and left in a puff of smoke.
Assistant Qing stood there, his face pale and uncertain.
There was the confusion of being told the central issue by Shang Ke, the embarrassment of being seen through, and the tension of being oppressed by invisible pressure.
Assistant Qing always thought that Shang Ke was an ignorant fool.
Otherwise, how could we give up the good Shang family and run out to start our own business and raise cows in Scotland?
However, when they met face to face today, Assistant Qing realized that he was wrong.
If Shang Ke was really worthless, he wouldn't have become one of the Three Musketeers back then.
Assistant Qing looked at Shang Ke's back gloomily and could only leave angrily.
Assistant Qing believed that Shang Xiaojin was with Shang Ke, but he did not dare to make a mistake.
Shang Ke is more difficult to deal with than he thought.
He could only figure it out slowly.
Shang Ke returned to the farm and saw Shang Xiaojin still diligently moving grass from a distance. He couldn't help but raise his lips: "Fortunately, he's not too stupid and he knows how to find a backer. But, he is still too young. He can't even fight those old goblins. Who told him to call me father? I can't let him down."
Shang Ke picked up the phone and dialed the long-lost number: "Si Chen, long time no see!"
Yin Sichen was really surprised when he received Shang Ke's call. He put down his work, stood up and said, "Shang Ke? Are you finally willing to contact me? What? Is there any trouble that I can't handle and you need me?" Take action?"
Shang Ke sighed and said, "Do you want to know me so well? Your words make me unable to hide!"
