Capítulo 723: Chapter 723: You Don’t Need Me to Teach You How to Pick Up Girls, Right?
“She’s really back? Dad, you’re not lying to me, are you?” Sheng Shuai couldn’t believe his eyes. For the past two years, he had been in extreme conflict, wanting to know about Ye Shu’s whereabouts yet fearing he might receive bad news!
Now, hearing his father say this made him unable to accept that it was true.
“How have you been living these past two years? The domestic news is flooded with information about her; are you really blind? Or have you gone deaf?” Sheng Kun took out his phone and laid out one video after another of Ye Shu in court right before Sheng Shuai’s eyes, “See for yourself!”
Sheng Shuai treasured the phone like a prized possession, holding it in his hands and ceaselessly watching the little village beauty on the screen, sometimes delicate and charming, sometimes valiant and heroic. He was utterly engrossed!
“Hey, kid, do you believe it now? Hurry up and pack, come back with Dad!” Sheng Kun reached out to take his phone back.
But Sheng Shuai clung desperately to the phone, unwilling to return it, and his face took on a lovestruck expression. Unconsciously, tears began to well up in his eyes, as if they might spill over any minute, “Dad, this phone is mine now, go get yourself a new one.”
After saying this, Sheng Shuai stood up and walked alone towards the small flat where he had lived on the mountaintop for two years.
“Stop right there!” Sheng Kun said angrily, “Brat, have you gone mad or something? Before, when there was no news of Ye Shu, I could understand you coming here to escape reality. But now that there’s news of her, what are you still doing here?”
Sheng Kun grabbed Sheng Shuai and turned him around, continuing to lecture him with the authority of someone who’s been through it all, “Do you think that just because she hasn’t come to find you personally, you don’t want to go down the mountain with me? Or do you think you’re being a saint, believing that she and Sheng Shaochen make a good pair and you don’t want to go back and disturb her happiness? Son, let me tell you if that’s what you’re thinking, you’re making a huge mistake. If you don’t go after the woman you love most, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life!”
“Dad…” Sheng Shuai suddenly hugged Sheng Kun, “Don’t worry, Dad, I won’t be as foolish as before. I like her but pretended not to care, using other women to cover up my own feelings for her. After this torturous period, I’ve figured out what I really want!”
“So what are you saying?” Sheng Kun was somewhat unclear about his son’s intentions.
“Hahahaha, hahaha!” Sheng Shuai suddenly laughed loudly, “Dad, please go down the mountain, okay? I’ve finally gotten good news about her, and I want to let my emotions run wild for a bit, to cry and laugh freely. Can’t I do that? How can I release my feelings with you following me?”
“You cheeky brat, hahaha!” Sheng Kun handed him a card, “This is the card you asked me to pass on to Ye Shu. She said she wouldn’t take it unless you gave it to her personally.”
“Did she really say that? I didn’t mishear, did I? She said, ‘unless I give it to her personally’…” Sheng Shuai could hardly believe his ears!
“It’s true!” Sheng Kun patted Sheng Shuai’s shoulder, “I have another piece of good news for you. Since Ye Shu came back, her relationship with the Sheng Mansion has been very tense, they are practically at each other’s throats. Moreover, Sheng Shaochen’s memory is confused, and it has not recovered yet. The relationship between him and Ye Shu might never be mended in this lifetime. What to do next, surely I don’t need to teach you, right?”
