Sheng Sibai was also being so sharp with Sheng Qingran for the first time. Sheng Qingran was even angrier than he had expected. He punched the table heavily, and the things on the table vibrated for a few seconds.
"If you want to go crazy, get out of here!"
Sheng Sibai rarely quarreled with others to the point of getting red - faced and neck - thick. So even when accusing Sheng Qingran, he only used a very calm voice. If one ignored the content, one could hardly feel his anger at all.
"I won't say anything about your private affairs. After all, my mother has been dead for so many years, and I can't stop you from starting a new relationship. But you should never have hurt the children of Sheng Yan and me." Sheng Sibai squinted his eyes slightly, and beneath his self - restraint, a great deal of pain still showed in his eyes.
"They are both your own grandsons. How could you do such a thing?"
His eternal pain was not because of his momentary silence, but because his father had made a decision on his own and forcibly aborted the child in Jiaojiao's belly, which had also led to the current situation between him and Jiaojiao.
And Sheng Yan only found out how close he had once been to the title of "father" after the child was already gone.
He didn't understand. If Sheng Qingran really regarded them as his own sons and was really a competent father, such things would never have happened again and again.
"Grandsons? A bastard I don't recognize can never be my grandson. Jian Jiaojiao and Feng Qing are really good sisters. They've bewitched you two brothers. I think you've really lost your mind to come and confront me for such women!"
"Such women? Such women are also the most important people in Sheng Yan's and my hearts! How noble are you? What right do you have to say such things about them?"
"At least when Jiaojiao was with me, her heart didn't belong to someone else!"
"Sheng Sibai!" Sheng Qingran reached out and slapped him across the desk. "Get out of here!"
Sheng Sibai's face was turned to the side by the slap. He paused for a long time before looking at Sheng Qingran again. His eyes were full of coldness. When he looked at Sheng Qingran, it was as if he were looking at a stranger.
"Sheng Qingran, from today on, I won't be your tool anymore. You will pay the price for everything you've ever done. The lives on your hands will never let your heart rest in peace."
After leaving the study, Sheng Sibai quickly packed his things and left the Sheng family. Sheng Qingran watched through the window as Sheng Sibai's car drove out of the gate, and the whole house became quiet again.
It was as if the quarrel had never happened.
He slowly calmed down and took out the photo frame he had been looking at from the drawer again. Their family of four had never had a decent group photo. This only photo that could be regarded as a family portrait was taken even before Sheng Yan was born.
It was only natural that they would hate him. After all, those things were really done by him. He wouldn't deny them, nor would he feel wronged.
"I'm just doing what I think is right."
He seemed to be talking to the photo of his dead wife, and also seemed to be talking to himself.
Sheng Sibai's illness came suddenly. After a period of treatment, although he seemed to have returned to normal, the doctor told him that Sheng Sibai's condition was not as optimistic as it seemed. It might deteriorate again at an unexpected time. In the case of a sudden and rapid deterioration one day, Sheng Sibai might suddenly pass away.
He had never told anyone about this, not even Sheng Sibai himself.
He had been very angry when he found out that Sheng Sibai was with Jian Jiaojiao, but he couldn't stop it from happening. Originally, he wanted to turn a blind eye, until he learned that Jian Jiaojiao was pregnant.
On the one hand, he had just learned about Jian Jiaojiao's family background at that time. On the other hand, he was worried that if Sheng Sibai died unexpectedly, the child in Jian Jiaojiao's belly would become a posthumous child, and he didn't want Jian Jiaojiao to enter the Sheng family at all.
At that time, he had no other choice but to ask Jian Jiaojiao to abort the child.
As for Feng Qing, he didn't originally intend to push her into the lake. It was just that she said so many things that made him angry at that time and blocked his way. He just gave her a gentle push, but who would have thought that she would really fall in.
He only found out that Feng Qing was pregnant and had a miscarriage after she was admitted to the hospital. But if one really thought about it, it couldn't be said that he had done anything wrong.
But if they wanted to blame him, they could. He didn't want Feng Qing and Sheng Yan to be together anyway, and Feng Qing would never be allowed to enter the Sheng family.
His two sons were really giving him a headache.
There were so many women in the world, and he just couldn't understand why they had to be with these two women.
It was really puzzling.
"If you were still alive, you might have done the same thing as me."
When Qi Zhicheng went to the hospital, he specially brought his son, who he always talked about but had never shown.
"Quick, say hello to auntie."
Feng Qing and Jian Jiaojiao were both in the ward. They were suddenly called auntie like this. Although they were happy to see the little boy, they weren't really prepared to be called auntie.
Especially since the little boy liked to act like a grown - up and was very reluctant to call them auntie.
"You're much more handsome than your dad. What's your name?"
Not seeing any members of the Sheng family, Feng Qing was in a much better mood and even joked with Qi Zhicheng to tease him.
The little grown - up answered Feng Qing proudly, "My name is Qi Chen."
Qi Zhicheng stroked Qi Chen's head and then turned to Jian Jiaojiao and said, "Miss Jian, could you please take Qi Chen out to play?"
Jian Jiaojiao was a bit stunned. She looked at Qi Zhicheng and then at Feng Qing, and then immediately understood. She took Qi Chen's hand and walked out.
After the ward door closed, Qi Zhicheng sighed and started talking business with Feng Qing.
"I've told you not to hurt yourself. What are you doing now?"
Feng Qing immediately looked out of the window, avoiding Qi Zhicheng's gaze. She nervously pushed her hair behind her ear as if she was a bit guilty.
"Although it seems that you're insinuating something, I'm here because of Sheng Qingran. If he hadn't pushed me, I wouldn't have suffered like this."
Qi Zhicheng just smiled faintly. He pulled over a chair and sat down beside her. "You seem to have missed some pre - conditions. If you hadn't reconciled with Sheng Yan, Sheng Qingran wouldn't have had this opportunity."
He just couldn't figure it out. Before, Feng Qing had avoided Sheng Yan like the plague, and he didn't know what had happened that made them suddenly reconcile.
If he hadn't called Feng Qing, she probably wouldn't have told him what had happened.
"But the thing has already happened. I didn't want it to happen either."
Qi Zhicheng frowned all the time. He stared at Feng Qing's face, his eyes as sharp as knives.
"Did you not want this to happen, or was it actually within your expectations?"
Feng Qing seemed to understand what he meant, and her expression became serious. "What do you mean?"
"In my opinion, this is just your plan, isn't it?"
