Under Zheng BuLu’s oppressive gaze, He YiJun had to bite the bullet and speak up: “Zheng PingQing, how about…”
Zheng PingQing put on an unassuming expression. “Hmm?”
He YiJun’s heart was thumping, but her expression remained gentle as she asked in a soft tone: “I know you don’t believe your teacher, but are you really going to disregard your father’s words?”
Zheng PingQing looked at her weirdly. “Isn’t this your gift to me? When did I disregard my dad’s words?”
He YiJun: “……” This father and son pair…
Although Zheng BuLu raised a brow, he didn’t blame He YiJun for the situation. He said: “PingQing, you don’t need that phone. I’ll give you something better.”
He YiJun pursed her lips, then chimed in: “Old Zheng is always thinking about you. Don’t always fight him on things. Do you remember that fight you had with Zheng Chong during your last year of middle school? Well, you probably didn’t know this, but Zheng Chong’s father was one of Old Zheng’s business partners. Old Zheng had to personally apologize for you…”
Zheng BuLu was used to throwing money at his problems, and during Zheng PingQing’s rebellious phase, the busy Zheng BuLu often used this tactic to cover for his son. In many of those instances, it was actually He YiJun acting on Zheng BuLu’s behalf. This impersonal solution was one of the main reasons why the father-son pair drifted apart and alienated each other. In their last life, when He YiJun married Zheng BuLu and gave birth to his son, this alienation turned into estrangement.
By then, Zheng PingQing had set his sights firmly on Lin Qian. Zheng PingQing’s awkward relationship with his family made him reluctant to accept Zheng BuLu’s help with his career, and in the end, he worked things out on his own. Zheng PingQing had never intended to inherit his father’s business in the first place, and he didn’t care much about the changes in his relationship with his Zheng BuLu.
For that Zheng PingQing, his family was an unspeakable existence. He didn’t want Zheng BuLu’s wealth, he just wanted to escape.
But in this life, there was no tangle of anger and hatred clouding his view. This Zheng PingQing is able to analyze the situation clearly.
In addition to those lies about Chen ShiYi, it seems that He YiJun was also manipulating his relationship with Zheng BuLu.
He YiJun had always taken very good to Zheng PingQing and had never directly argued with him in front of Zheng BuLu. At the time Zheng PingQing had been reborn, He YiJun had already settled into the Zheng family. Her son would’ve probably inherited Zheng BuLu’s company if it wasn’t for Zheng PingQing’s little time-traveling accident. Even then, He YiJun was still very polite to Zheng PingQing and tried to be a bridge between the two men. She often asked Zheng Pingqing to let go of old grievances and to reconcile with his father.
But after some thought, Zheng PingQing noted that every time He YiJun tried to persuade him, she would end up bringing all those unpleasant memories into the forefront of his mind. As Zheng PingQing grew up, his indifferent relationship with his father actually eased a little. But then, He YiJun would come by and talk about the past, and ultimately, even if they had no reason to be at odds with each other, Zheng PingQing and Zheng BuLu were never able to get along.
And now, as if to ease the awkwardness between father and son, He YiJun casually mentioned something Zheng PingQing did that made trouble for Zheng BuLu. As expected, Zheng BuLu’s expression was slightly unhappy as he said: “Don’t mention such old things.”
He YiJun immediately complied, and with a smile, said: “Yes, it’s all in the past. Right now, nothing is more important than PingQing.”
She then brought the conversation back on topic and said: “The phone doesn’t matter PingQing, just don’t bring it to school. Cell phones, or fighting… that’s nothing. It’s normal for kids your age to be noisy and playful; what’s important is to make sure that you don’t go astray.”
