Chapter 364 Compromise
Chapter 364 Compromise
Xu Che could never have imagined that Xu Lingfeng would give him the answer "Let it be"!
Hasn’t my own son always liked Ouyang Mengmian very much?
He had been waiting for her for many years, and now he was "negotiating" with her here for her - but now, he was content with a "let it be" situation which sounded so unlucky!
Is this still the son that I gave birth to, the one who is always full of energy and decisive in business?
As a father, Xu Che had high hopes for Xu Lingfeng, and Xu Lingfeng had always lived up to his hopes, except for the matter with Ouyang Mengmian.
Xu Che has always believed that love, like many things in the world, is ruled by the strong. Xu Lingfeng cares so much about Ouyang Mengmian, but now he lets Ouyang Mengmian make her own choice, which is somewhat contrary to his usual principles. Therefore, it is impossible for Xu Che not to be disappointed with the choice and answer given by Xu Lingfeng at this moment.
However, no matter how disappointed he was, Xu Che knew that he was not Xu Lingfeng after all. He could not make decisions for him, nor could he force him to make a choice against his wishes.
Xu Che was well aware of Xu Lingfeng's infatuation with Ouyang Mengmian. Because of this, he allowed Xu Lingfeng to spend so many years of time and energy on Ouyang Mengmian.
But judging from Xu Lingfeng's current performance, all the time and effort he spent on Ouyang Mengmian seemed to be wasted!
Xu Che was not naive enough to think that Ouyang Mengmian and Xu Lingfeng would change their minds just because they went traveling for a few days - after all, he had been immersed in the business world for decades and naturally knew how stubborn and fickle people's hearts could be.
In fact, Xu Che could not be truly at ease about the relationship between Ouyang Mengmian and Xu Lingfeng until they got married and gave birth to a successor.
As a father, Xu Che had naturally witnessed Xu Lingfeng's high spirits many times. Although Xu Lingfeng spoke calmly and looked composed at the moment, his current state was still far from the joy that came from his heart in the past.
By observing Xu Lingfeng's words and deeds, Xu Che vaguely guessed that Xu Lingfeng and Ouyang Mengmian had not made any substantial breakthroughs in the past few days. Instead, he seemed to have been brainwashed by Ouyang Mengmian and accepted his fate. Something huge must have happened between them that he didn't know about.
But even so, his own son still blindly planned for Ouyang Mengmian and considered things for her - if the person who did this was not his own son Xu Lingfeng, Xu Che would really roll his eyes at him and laugh at him for being so stupid!
After all, Xu Che just felt sorry for Xu Lingfeng, felt sorry for his infatuation, and felt it wasn't worth it for him!
But Xu Che also understood that no matter how hard he tried to think and plan for Xu Lingfeng, Xu Lingfeng himself had to approve it - a forced melon is not sweet, and he did not want to create unnecessary rifts between them.
At this moment, Xu Lingfeng has clearly rejected his arrangements!
Therefore, even though he felt very dissatisfied, Xu Che had no choice but to compromise with his son in the end.
He sighed solemnly and said, "Forget it! I will solve the Ouyang family's predicament, and I can also let go of the matter between you and Ouyang Mengmian - but everything has a limit. You should know that I have given you enough freedom! I hope that Ouyang Mengmian will not let you down in the end!"
Seeing that his father finally agreed to his request, Xu Lingfeng hurriedly stood up and thanked Xu Che: "Thank you for your understanding, father! Don't worry, there is no question of whether Meng Mian and I will let each other down!"
Seeing that his son had been defending Ouyang Mengmian from beginning to end, Xu Che didn't want to say anything more. He just waved at Xu Lingfeng helplessly and sent him out of the study.
