Chapter 1038: Chapter 1042 A Parent’s Heart Pities All Chapter 1038: Chapter 1042 A Parent’s Heart Pities All He was now over forty years old.
When he was young, Senior Master Xie did not fail to cultivate him.
But whatever he did was inadequate; he couldn’t even manage his regular duties well, repeatedly making mistakes and causing troubles, which Senior Master Xie had to clean up ti and again.
He had tried his best, but alas, his talents were limited. No matter how hard he tried, he achieved nothing.
Senior Master Xie patted his shoulder, “Wenhui, incompetence isn’t scary. What’s scary is being malicious and coveting things that don’t belong to you. We, the Xie Family, are the House of Zhongding. You are my only son, the only uncle of Ah Lin. As long as you behave and live a good life, genuinely caring for and loving your family, could Ah Lin and I possibly treat you unjustly?”
Wenhui looked at Senior Master Xie, his eyes twitching slightly, adding a sparkle to his otherwise dull expression.
Senior Master Xie continued, “Wenhui, you don’t like power; you just like a life of affluence and comfort. As the heir of the Xie Family, you would have to toil like an ox for the whole clan, endlessly busy with official duties every day. Have you ever wanted that kind of life?”
Wenhui shook his head subconsciously.
“Right, you don’t like it,” Senior Master Xie said. “You enjoy an easy and comfortable life. All you need is money. If you behave, could our Xie Family possibly lack money for you to spend? Conversely, with your abilities, if the Xie Family were handed over to you, it wouldn’t take long before it was squandered away, turning you into a real pauper. Do you want to be the culprit responsible for the family’s decline and a pauper?”
Wenhui froze suddenly.
He suddenly rembered returning to the Xie Family after his divorce from Yi Xinning; Senior Master Xie beca much more indulgent with him.
Senior Master Xie gave him a supplentary card, allowing him to spend freely.
Many hotels and clubs that only very distinguished persons could enter were also accessible to him through many mbership cards given by Senior Master Xie.
He truly lived a carefree and affluent life.
While dating Jiao Tao, he also enjoyed the sense of splurging freely.
At that ti, he didn’t think much about it, only feeling that life was thrilling.
Now he wondered, was Senior Master Xie’s generosity during that period a reward for his compliance?
If behaving well could lead to a good life, then that wasn’t so bad.
He looked at Senior Master Xie, his eyes gradually lighting up.
He suddenly felt that Senior Master Xie was right.
He didn’t want to slave away for the Xie Family, facing endless etings and work every day.
He just wanted endless money, to drink tea with friends, play sports, and ride horses every day.
As long as he had money and could live a carefree and joyous life, whether or not he was the head of the Xie Family didn’t matter.
He just needed to maintain a good relationship with Yunlin. Being the uncle to the Family Head of the Xie Family, how could his future days be anything less than comfortable?
Suddenly, it dawned on him, and a bright future unfolded before him.
He looked at Senior Master Xie and nodded his promise, “Dad, I’ve seen the light. From now on, I will be good to Ah Lin, Ah Fei, and Beibei. I will love and protect them like their own father, never quarreling with them again, and I am willing to move with you and mom to the Family’s ancestral mansion. I’ll stay with you and care for you in your old age, never causing you worry again!”
Seeing the excitent in his eyes, as if discovering a new bright path, Senior Master Xie knew he had truly understood.
He sighed in relief and patted his shoulder, “Go on back first, I still have things to discuss with Xiao Zhu and Beibei.”
Wenhui agreed and turned to leave.
Sitting back on the sofa, Senior Master Xie sarcastically curled the corner of his lips, “Xiao Zhu, Beibei, don’t laugh at your grandfather for being indecisive, kind like a woman. He is my only son, no matter how incompetent he is, he’s still my own flesh and blood. I care for and love him more than anyone else, always hoping he can live well and be happy. I can be harsh to many people, but towards him, I just can’t do it.”
