224 “After Fast Traveling and Sleeping with the Villain” World 7, Substitute Lover (35)

“Chi Yu…are you still together?”

“Yes.” Although Xue Xue took the initiative to guide Xue Dehui to mention Chi Yu, the other party’s reaction still made Xue Xue feel weird.”What? Is there any problem with us still being together?”

These words were a bit sharp, Xue Dehui could hear it.

“No, it’s not that there’s anything wrong, it’s just…” Xue Dehui’s brows frowned and then relaxed.”Then why didn’t he come to pick you up today?”

“Because he went back to his hometown.”

“Hometown?”

“Yeah.”

“Do you know where his hometown is?”

“Is this important?” Xue Xue’s tired body was leaning against the back of the chair in a relaxed posture. After hearing Xue Dehui’s question, she straightened her back suddenly.”Xue Dehui, what kind of riddle are you talking about? If you have anything to say, just say it, okay? I don’t think our relationship is good enough to have a heart-to-heart talk under such circumstances.”

Xue Xue emphasized the word “heart-to-heart” very seriously.

The smooth-moving car stopped at a red light.

“You are too hostile to me, Xue Li.”

Xue Dehui tilted his head, and his sharp black eyes seemed to melt into the night, making it difficult to see to the end.

This is the aura inadvertently revealed by a man who is used to being in a superior position. Even if there is no extra emotion in his eyebrows, it will still make the person facing him feel a strong pressure.

Xue Xue couldn’t remember when Xue Dehui began to appear frequently in Xue Li’s memory, but at the beginning, he was just the brother who was half-blood connected with Xue Li.

Xue Liansong had planned to pass on “Laiyao” to Xue Li from the moment Xue Li showed his extraordinary talent. However, in fact, Xue Dehui’s excellence was equally outstanding. The reason why Xue Liansong chose to appoint Xue Li as his successor was superficially because of a debt, but in fact, there was only one real reason behind it.

Because Xue Li was not a child who grew up next to Xue Zhen.

Xue Liansong once had great expectations for Xue Zhen, but later he was disappointed.

I hate that iron cannot become steel.

He even regretted that maybe he should have focused more on his daughter back then instead of devoting all his efforts to training Xue Zhen. At that time, Xue Liansong had forgotten that Xue Zhen was also a son that he was proud of when he was a student.

But no matter what happened in the past, Xue Zhen gave up the company for the sake of his children’s love, which was unbearable for Xue Liansong.

This man who devoted half his life to his career regarded “Lai Yao” as his lifelong effort, and even the status of his son and daughter had to be moved back.

Xue Liansong proposed to marry Yang Qingmei on behalf of Xue Zhen, and Xue Liansong had a wishful thinking to bring “Laiyao” to a higher level. Even though “Laiyao” was already a large-scale enterprise at that time, it was difficult for a strong dragon to defeat the local snakes. With the strength accumulated by the Yang family in the political circles for generations, Yang Qingmei, as the most favored daughter of the Yang family, was often the one she wanted to marry. In order to make this marriage happen, Xue Liansong spent a lot of effort back then.

I didn’t expect Xue Zhen to cherish it so little.

Xue Liansong beat and scolded him, tried to persuade her with sincere words, but later took a step back and said frankly that he would let Xue Zhen raise Gao Yinyin and ask someone to take Xue Dehui home. Unexpectedly, Xue Zhen was determined in this matter, as if he had been given ecstasy, and insisted on giving Gao Yinyin a status.

Even at the risk of death.

This touched Xue Liansong’s back scale.

He can waste his life and marriage for love, and he will waste his career for love in the future.

Such people are destined to be unable to achieve great things.

Therefore, Xue Dehui will not get Xue Liansong’s attention because he is the son raised by Xue Zhen.

Xue Liansong knew his son very well, and he knew even more about Gao Yinyin. This woman who tried her best to finally sit on Mrs.

So Xue Liansong selected Xue Li and personally trained Xue Li into the perfect successor in his mind.

Xue Li may or may not know, but Xue Xue, who has received all of Xue Li’s memories, knows very well that the reason why Xue Li is still ignorant about love in her twenties is inseparable from Xue Liansong’s deliberate efforts.

He didn’t want his carefully cultivated granddaughter to be tainted by a love that would make him stupid. He only wanted Xue Li to follow the life he arranged step by step, choose the right person to marry at the right time, and give birth to the next generation of successors to pass on “Laiyao”.

Unfortunately, people are not as good as God. Xue Liansong did not live to be as old as he expected, old enough to plan for the future and eliminate all variables.

In the days before death, when people look back on their lives, they often have different perceptions and feelings.

“After all, he is my child…A Zhen, can you blame me?”

Xue Liansong’s words gave Xue Zhen an opportunity.

He said he didn’t blame Xue Liansong.

“You are my father, how can I blame you? I didn’t come to see you before, just because I was afraid that you would dislike me when you saw me.”

Whether these words were true or false, they successfully deepened Xue Liansong’s guilt.

In the half year between Xue Liansong’s admission to the hospice ward and his death, Xue Zhen put down his work and almost made the hospital his home, accompanying his old father.

Under the advice of Xue Zhen and Gao Yinyin, Xue Dehui also ran to Xue Liansong’s hospice ward whenever he had free time. Even though he didn’t have much affection for this grandfather who never wanted to see him, but he was about to die and he spoke kindly. After all, he was his elder, and Xue Dehui would not show his emotions stupidly.

At that time, he was almost deceived by the loving father and son of Xue Zhen and Xue Liansong, thinking that the two people had really cleared up their past feud. It was not until Xue Liansong’s will was announced that he suddenly realized it.

It’s all just a play.

Each takes what he needs.

“Dad…you haven’t given up yet?”

“Give up? Why should I give up?” Xue Zhen snorted coldly.”Laiyao should be my company, the company I will pass on to you in the future. If not… In short, the goal is achieved, plus Xue Liansong’s 7% equity, now you also have a bargaining chip to play against Xue Li. When the time comes…”

“Dad.” Xue Dehui interrupted Xue Zhen’s mumbling. This was not something he usually did, but this time he found that he couldn’t help it.”Xue Li is also your child, your daughter.”

“Xue Li?” When Xue Li was mentioned, Xue Zhen’s expression froze, and then he showed a slightly twisted smile.”Daughter? No, she is not my daughter, she is that bitch…she is Yang Qingmei’s daughter!”
