Chapter 318 - Have Always Been Bias Towards Li Xue.
When Zheng Haozhen saw his son yelling his way in the house, it irked his nerves to the core. He shot his words of displeasure out to relieve himself a little. Both his words and voice were showing his anger and sense of mockery for his own son. He has got reasons to be like this.
Who would like to watch their high earned reputation and company go waste without any good reason?
But his words were calmly retorted by his own wife. He huffed looking at her nonchalance and lack of knowledge. "Huh! Do you really think that your son is even here to visit his house or parents? Look at his attitude, he is just here to defend that wicked useless girl with whom he is playing around".
As his words shot out, instantly a sharp clanking voice rang in the air and a pricey vase was shattered on the floor. "Father! She is going to be your daughter – in – law. Speak with some respect for her", Zheng Wenting yelled at his topmost voice to silence his father. But his voice did not make much change.
Zheng Haozhen's face turned ugly as he turned to look at his wife whose eyes were already getting all tearful at her son's disrespectful tone.
"Did you hear him? Look at him, this is what your son has turned into. He has lost his sense of mannerism. He no longer knows how he should talk to his parents. See, this is just the starting. Just 5 years of influence from that woman has turned him into this kind of person. now just guess his future". He said his words to his wife but his words were clearly directed to the young man standing at a little distance.
Zheng Wenting too understood this. Sighing with some frustration, he took a short deep breath in and again, "Father, you are just twisting my words. I never meant to be rude with you but you both also need to understand the importance of Sying in my life. She is the woman I will be marrying soon. Just tell me, will you able to remain calm if someone insults Mother, in the same way, you did to Sying?"
"Wenting!" This time it was Madame Zheng's time to yell. She never thought that her son would ever say something like this and that too about her.
"How dare you compare me to that woman? Seeing you like this I really agree with your father's words and thoughts. That woman is really making you lose your mind. Comparing me to her … huh? Can't you see the difference between me and her? She is a slut who is just using her charms and tears to keep you wrapped around her finger".
Madame Zheng knew that her words were harsh. But she has long seen through Wen Sying's actions. In the past, she has even warned Li Xue about her but Li Xue had gone too deep in trusting that cunning girl.
"Mother!" Zheng Wenting wanted to scream again but in front of her mother's fearsome eyes, he could not gather the courage to retaliate. Getting his voice all sobered, he said, "Mother, I never mean to compare you with anyone. And Wen Sying is not as bad as you all think. She will be the best daughter – in – law you can get anywhere. Just try to understand her once".
"Your wife and daughter – in – law for us? Only in the worst dream. Let me make this clear to you, Wenting, I would never allow you to marry that C – grade woman or let her become associated with our Zheng Family in any way. She could only enter this place over my dead body".
Zheng Haozhen said not able to take the silly stubbornness of his son over a good for nothing woman.
Hearing his father declaring something like this, Zheng Wenting only nodded his head and said, "Fine, since she is not allowed here in this house and family, I can also just leave this house for her then".
"Wenting! What absurd are you talking about?" Madame Zheng said but was instantly cut by her son's words of retaliation.
"What do you think mother? Don't you feel you are just being hostile towards Wen Sying without any reason? Because as far as I have understood, you both never had any problem with the profession she is in as you have always supported me being with Li Xue then in the past"
Zheng Wenting said, not understanding the biasness his parents shared for Li Xue.
"Wenting, Li Xue was not like her. She was really a good woman. Can't you feel that yourself? She never held any pretence on her face, always revealed her real ways. I can still tell that I have never met any girl like her", the woman tried to make his son understand but she knew that like always her words will never affect him. He will never consider Wen Sying in the wrong light.
And as she has thought, it has happened. Zhen Wenting shook his head at her mother's words as she clapped his hand. "Amazing, just amazing, Mother. You still considered Wen Sying as a lowly woman and Li Xue to be someone mighty. Have you forgotten what she did 5 years ago? Or are you just aiming your words to insult Sying?"
"Enough of your useless words, Wenting!" Mr Zheng Haozhen growled. His face turning all red in anger. Looking at him like that anyone would say that he was on the brink of getting a heart attack. "Even if it is to insult that Wen Sying, your mother is not wrong. Open your eyes and look around. The woman you are defending did not bring you any good. Do you even know what you have done? You have staked such a high investment amount after her. Do you think she is worthy for that?"
"She is worthy of all this. If in the past you considered, Li Xue to be worthy then why can't Wen Sying be the same?" Zheng Wenting said, not understanding the logic of his father. "In the past as per my remembrance, you have always tried to support Li Xue putting investment in her agency but it was her, who used to turn you down out of her arrogance. Then if today, I have done the same then why are you deeming it to be wrong. I can't understand this"
"That was Li Xue. And even today if she was there and you would have put the investment in for her then I wouldn't have minded. But with this useless girl, I will never accept" The old man said, pausing for some breath. His son really knows to bring out his worst.
Then nodding he continued, "Fine, you want to leave us and this house for her. Fine, I accept your proposal. Resign from the company and leave. I can't risk my company and the family name just for you to play around".
"Haozhen!" Wenting's mother called in defeat. She was the one losing between her husband and son. But her call served no effect as none of the men cared to look towards her.
"Father, how can you say this? What wrong did Sying do to deserve such treatment? This investment that you are blaming her for … she asked this only for Li Xue. She never thought for herself" Wenting informed, trying again to defend his girlfriend.
"For Li Xue?" both oldies said in synchronicity.
Wenting looked at them in disbelief and then nodded. "Yes, for Li Xue. Sying wanted to help Li Xue in getting back into the industry."
"Li Xue is getting back in the industry? Did you meet and talk to her? Did she ask your help herself?" the old man asked, suddenly his interest getting piqued.
Zheng Wenting was just confused looking at his own father. But he has no time to ask about the reasons behind, he just wants to put a positive point for Sying in front of him. So, shaking his head he replied, "No, she didn't come to ask. Sying and I have decided to help her on our own. I have made all the preparations. Tomorrow I will go and meet her to discuss things".
Zhen Haozhen nodded and finally said, "Good! That's good. Meet her tomorrow then. If she is there in the question, then there is no problem in putting that investment."
