- Chapter 129 - The Villain Just Wants to be a Salted Fish Chapter 129
Ye Zexi was a little surprised when he first received a call from He Xiu.
All he knew about He Xiu was only in He Jinyun’s simple description. It was clear that the relationship between He Jinyun and He Xiu was not good, and the father and son had not seen each other for a long time.
So when He Xiu proposed to meet, Ye Zexi hesitated for a moment.
But soon Ye Zexi nodded and agreed. After all, he hadn’t seen the other now, but maybe he would have to see the other later.
More importantly, Ye Zexi also felt that there is something that might be better to say clearly in advance.
As for why He Jinyun was not notified.
Of course, it was because Ye Zexi thought he could handle this matter alone, and listening to what He Xiu said, he didn’t want Ye Zexi to take He Jinyun with him.
The door of the private room opened and Ye Zexi saw He Xiu.
The moment he saw He Xiu, Ye Zexi was stunned for a moment.
Ye Zexi also went to England some time ago and met Zhuang Lan. Ye Zexi did not see much resemblance between the mother and son, but they were equally gentle in character.
At that time, Ye Zexi was still a little curious about who He Jinyun resembled.
Looking at He Xiu now, Ye Zexi understood.
He Jinyun and He Xiu looked so much alike, it was not an exaggeration to say that the father and son were carved out of the same mold.
But He Jinyun’s eyebrows should be softer, not as cold and sharp as He Xiu. When he was not smiling, the corners of his eyes were more indifference and scrutiny.
“You’re here,” He Xiu raised his eyes, glanced at Ye Zexi lightly, and said casually, “Sit down and talk.”
Ye Zexi quickly returned to his senses, and showed a faint smile at He Xiu: “Uncle He.”
This was a very classically decorated restaurant. Ye Zexi greeted He Xiu and found a place to sit down.
He Xiu pushed the menu next to him: “See if there are any dishes you like?”
Ye Zexi did not hesitate and just ordered a few dishes that he liked.
Soon the dishes came up one after another.
“Eat first,” He Xiu said.
Ye Zexi nodded, just as he was also hungry. Although he was not very tired from the shooting today, he deliberately saved some room in order to go home to eat He Jinyun’s fried dried fish. At this point in time, Ye Zexi was really hungry.
Fortunately, He Xiu didn’t plan to chat with Ye Zexi during the meal, so Ye Zexi was satisfied with the meal.
After eating, the waiter came in again and asked if they needed any snacks or fruits.
Ye Zexi didn’t have much interest in fruit. After learning that there was another special fried fish, he ordered a fried fish.
He Xiu only ordered a pot of tea.
When he heard Ye Zexi’s words, he looked up at Ye Zexi.
Ye Zexi looked into He Xiu’s gaze when he turned his head, and he glanced at He Xiu in a puzzled manner.
He Xiu took a sip of tea, and then said, “You like fish very much?”
Ye Zexi didn’t expect He Xiu to see his preferences in just a short meal. He smiled, nodded and said, “Well, fish will always be more attractive to me.”
He Xiu nodded, and after a while he said, “Then your preference and his are quite different. He hates fish.”
It took two seconds for Ye Zexi to realize that the “his” in He Xiu’s words referred to He Jinyun.
His brows frowned slightly, and he recalled a little bit of his memory of getting along with He Jinyun. Ye Zexi pursed his lips, with a hint of doubt: “Really?”
Hearing this, He Xiu raised his eyes and glanced over. The man’s eyes were full of scrutiny and indifference, then he said: “You have been with him for so long, don’t you know his preferences?”
This tone was somewhat questioning and disdainful.
The corners of Ye Zexi’s slightly curved mouth slowly flattened, and he looked at He Xiu calmly: “I don’t think I know much about He Jinyun’s preferences, and I don’t think I know him at all. The only thing I can be sure of is when he is with me, He Jinyun eats fish.”
And even fought with him over it!
Or it could be said that He Jinyun felt it was very fulfilling to snatch the dried fish from Ye Zexi’s mouth, there was no way to explain why He Jinyun ate so much fish every time he ate fish with him!
He Xiu disagreed, he only took it that Ye Zexi deliberately said it for him to hear!
The waiter opened the door again and brought the fried fish.
The golden and crispy dried fish was placed in front of him, but Ye Zexi had no meaning of moving his chopsticks.
The door of the box was closed again, and when the room became quiet again, He Xiu said again: “Zexi, I know your father, and I also know that you have been a good boy since childhood.”
Ye Zexi looked up at the opposite He Xiu. He could already guess what He Xiu wanted to say next. Ye Zexi didn’t have much patience. He said directly: “So Uncle He came to me today because he wanted to tell me to break up with He Jinyun?”
He Xiu clasped his hands and did not directly answer: “You are a smart boy, so I think you also know that in this society, there are many people who don’t agree with your misinterpreted relationship at all.”
“Separate early, whether it is for you or He Jinyun, it is a good choice.” He Xiu said, “Of course, I also know that you young people like excitement. The freshness will soon pass, and I think you will meet…”
“Wait.” Ye Zexi had wanted to wait to see what He Xiu could say. But when he heard this, he couldn’t wait anymore.
“Uncle He, do you think He Jinyun and I are just playing around?” Ye Zexi asked rhetorically.
He Xiu still didn’t answer, but just raised his eyes to look at Ye Zexi: “After all, you and He Jinyun will inherit the family’s company in the future, won’t you? He Jinyun had a joint venture partner early in the morning, and you, I think your father would want you to get married too, right?”
Ye Zexi really laughed out loud angrily, and his patience was completely exhausted.
“So, are you going to get your son to divorce as soon as possible like what you did?” After confirming that he and the person in front of him had nothing to talk about, Ye Zexi didn’t have the politeness like before.
He Xiu’s pain was being poked at, and his face finally cracked: “You…”
“What?” Ye Zexi continued, “Could it be possible that you still feel that Aunt Zhuang divorced you just on a spur of a moment?”
He Xiu frowned: “What do you know? My marriage is not to be judged by a junior like you?”
“I didn’t want to judge anything, I just wanted to say that you are too arrogant.” Ye Zexi stood up and looked at the man in front of him who was very much similar to He Jinyun.
Before he felt that the person in front of him was He Jinyun’s father, so he had to treat the person with a little respect; after all, he needed to keep his politeness for He Jinyun’s sake. But now, Ye Zexi only felt that his ideas at the time were too simple.
Respect is mutual. When he met someone who was not prepared to respect him, why would Ye Zexi need to respect the person back?
For this kind of arrogant man who tried to interfere with other people’s marriage, Ye Zexi shouldn’t have come to see him in the first place.
Not talking about wasting time, it also affected his mood.
He Xiu’s face was already very ugly at this time: “This is your attitude to the elders? I don’t want to talk nonsense with you. I came here today to have you break up with He Jinyun. I hope you know your place.”
Ye Zexi disapproved, snorted, and raised a finger: “First, I have no plans to break up with He Jinyun at all. Second, my dad is different from you. My dad let me choose my own partner. He doesn’t mind, he is a good father who is very supportive of my own choice.”
He Xiu’s face gradually became a little ugly: “What do you want to say…”
“Finally,” Ye Zexi interrupted He Xiu, and didn’t mean to answer his question, and then said, “I didn’t treat you as an elder at all, so naturally I would not respect you. Similarly, I hope you can sort out your own issue.”
When finished speaking, Ye Zexi pulled his chair out, picked up the hat and sunglasses on the side and put them on, then turned and walked out.
He Xiu’s face was green, and he stood up without thinking, “Stop! We haven’t finished talking yet…”
The room door was pushed open by He Jinyun from outside at this moment. The man gave a cold glare, his eyes were full of coldness, and he glanced coldly at He Xiu: “What do we have to talk about with you?”
He Xiu looked at He Jinyun in shock. He didn’t expect He Jinyun to come.
Ye Zexi also didn’t expect He Jinyun to appear here suddenly. He was taken aback, his beautiful eyes widened: “Why are you here?”
He Jinyun just glanced at him, took Ye Zexi’s hand angrily, gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll settle everything with you later!”
He Jinyun’s hands were cold, but there was a thin layer of sweat on his palms. Ye Zexi seemed to understand something, and did not struggle, so He Jinyun pulled him out of the room.
