half thorns, half joy

Xiao Mingyuan talked with Zhao Suizhi for a while, then raised his eyes to see Xiao Zihan outside the room, his eyebrows furrowed.

Zhao Suizhi also turned his head following Xiao Mingyuan's gaze. The moment he saw Xiao Zihan, Zhao Suizhi's eyes showed anger and panic.

"Time is up."

At this time, two prison guards entered the glass room, and each took Xiao Mingyuan away. Zhao Suizhi got up and chased after a few steps, watching Xiao Mingyuan being taken away.

Xiao Zihan gritted his teeth, stepped forward and called Zhao Suizhi, "Mom."

Zhao Suizhi didn't respond, and after glancing at Xiao Zihan, he strode out with his bag in hand.

"Sorry." Xiao Zihan nodded slightly to the prison guard, quickly followed Zhao Suizhi, and held Zhao Suizhi back after Zhao Suizhi came out of the prison gate.

"mom!"

Zhao Suizhi was forced to stop and looked at Xiao Zihan.

"Mom, what did you tell Dad? Is it related to the Lin family?" Xiao Zihan suppressed the turbulent emotions in his heart and tried to maintain a calm appearance, "I know about your cooperation with the Lin family."

Zhao Suizhi squeezed the small bag in his hand, stared into Xiao Zihan's eyes and replied, "Now that you know, you can understand my good intentions. The reason why I did this is for your father."

Zhao Suizhi became excited as he spoke, grabbed Xiao Zihan's wrist, and said emotionally: "Mom has already paved the way. As long as you cooperate, we can rescue your father. You will cooperate, right?"

Xiao Zihan didn't say anything, just looked at Zhao Suizhi quietly.

Unwilling, Zhao Suizhi asked again, "Xiao Han, you will help me and help your father, right?"

"...No...Mom, Dad wasn't wronged, it's too..."

"Xiao Zihan!" Zhao Suizhi interrupted Xiao Zihan suddenly, "Are you going to say again that your father deserved what he deserved? It's his own fault?"

Xiao Zihan sighed, "No..."

"I think you are!" Zhao Suizhi pushed Xiao Zihan away violently, "How can you be so cruel and indifferent, he is your father!"

A prison guard came out and looked at Xiao Zihan and Zhao Suizhi who were arguing from a distance. Seeing this, Xiao Zihan pulled his mother into the car.

Zhao Suizhi held her head high. She wore a classic suit today. Although her makeup was not as refined as before, her demeanor was still extremely dignified.

"Mom, we've talked about Dad's matter many times." Xiao Zihan rubbed his brows, "My position will not change."

"Then you mean to watch him spend the rest of his life in prison?" Zhao Suizhi's hair was trembling with anger, "Do you know how old your father is today? He is not in good health. How hard is the environment inside?"

Xiao Zihan didn't know what his mother said, and he loved his father no less than his mother.However, distress is one thing, responsibility is another.

"Mom, the Lin family is using you, do you know?" Xiao Zihan didn't want to continue arguing with his mother Che Zhulu, so he changed the subject without hesitation.

Zhao Suizhi turned his head and said stubbornly, "I know, but as long as I can save your father, it doesn't matter if I'm used."

Xiao Zihan's determination to go to the end of his mother's dead end was helpless. He sighed heavily, knowing that he would not be able to persuade his mother today.

"Mom, you haven't eaten since you woke up this morning." Xiao Zihan asked Zhao Suizhi after he ordered the driver to drive.

Zhao Suizhi didn't answer, but turned to look out the window.

Xiao Zihan didn't wait for his mother to answer, and said to himself: "Then let's go home first, I'll ask the nanny to make some breakfast for us to eat."

Zhao Suizhi didn't look at Xiao Zihan, and said coldly: "You can't stop me in this matter, I must rescue your father this time."

"..." Xiao Zihan was speechless.

When the car arrived at Xiao's house, Xiao Zihan took the initiative to open the car door for his mother, Zhao Sui got out of the car and went straight into Xiao's house, Xiao Zihan followed slowly.

"Ma'am, you are back." The nanny was relieved to see Zhao Suizhi.

From yesterday to today, Zhao Suizhi was nowhere to be seen, and the nannies in Xiao's house were all worried and nervous all day and night, afraid that something might happen.

Zhao Suizhi hummed lightly, handed the handbag to the nanny, changed into slippers, walked over and sat down at the dining table.

The nanny immediately brought hot towels for wiping hands and breakfast, and waited nervously.

Xiao Zihan stood and watched for a while, then walked over, sat down at the other end of the dining table, and looked at his mother who was eating breakfast.

The mother and son finished their breakfast silently. They used to hold their son in their palms and take care of them. When they saw Xiao Zihan, Zhao Suizhi couldn't stop talking. After getting up, his eyes didn't fall on Xiao Zihan, and he went straight upstairs to the bedroom. went.

"Master..." The nanny looked at the embarrassing scene in front of her, not knowing what to do.

Xiao Zihan pushed away the chair and stood up, and said to the nanny: "You guys go about your own business, I'll go up and have a look."

"Yes."

As Xiao Zihan walked upstairs, he sent a text message to his subordinates to issue the latest order.

Zhao Suizhi's bedroom door was not closed, Xiao Zihan raised his index finger and knocked lightly, and walked in without waiting for Zhao Suizhi's response.

"What are you doing here? You should go prepare for the wedding with Lin Qiaoer now." Zhao Suizhi sat in front of the dressing table and looked at Xiao Zihan through the mirror.

Xiao Zihan walked over and sat by the bed, looked around the bedroom that once belonged to his parents, and after a while he said, "Mom, you never drove me away before."

Zhao Suizhi: "..."

"When I came here before, you wished I could stay for a while, and you pulled me like you had endless words." Xiao Zihan looked down at his toes, and smiled bleakly, "Now because of Dad, you don't even want to see me. Is it?"

Zhao Suizhi turned to look at Xiao Zihan, closed his eyes, "Xiaohan, you are too cruel, no matter what he has done, he is your father, he has raised you for so many years, even if he is at fault, he is now He was also punished, how could you treat him like this?"

Xiao Zihan met Zhao Suizhi's eyes, "Then how did he treat you? You have acted for him for so long, are you still being manipulated by him now?"

"..." Zhao Suizhi pursed his lips tightly, his eyes overflowing with anger.

"Mom, no matter who we are, we should take responsibility for what we did wrong. If Dad really wanted to repent, he wouldn't ask you to try to get him out like this."

Xiao Zihan has never been so anxious and powerless as at this moment, and this is the first time he has realized what meaningless communication is.

Mother now believes that he is a ruthless and indifferent person, and cannot listen to his persuasion at all.

"Xiao Zihan, you are too indifferent." Zhao Suizhi gave Xiao Zihan a hard look, then turned his head and continued to look in the mirror.

"All right, I'm indifferent." Xiao Zihan smiled wryly, and stood up on the bed, "Then you can treat me as indifferent, Lin Qiaoer, I will not marry, and I will not participate in the plan between you and the Lin family."

Zhao Suizhi suddenly looked at Xiao Zihan in the mirror, and said in disbelief, "What did you say?"

Xiao Zihan looked at his mother in the mirror, and said loudly: "You want to do something wrong, I can't convince you, but I will not do such absurd things with you, let alone let you make mistakes again and again. "

"How dare you!" Zhao Suizhi slapped the dressing table, the small cosmetics at the corner of the dressing table shook a few times, fell to the floor with a slap, and shattered.

Xiao Zihan said in a deep voice, "Of course I dare, Mom, you should know me. No one can force me to do things I don't want to do."

Zhao Suizhi's lips began to tremble in anger, "Are you not afraid... are you not afraid that I will give the shares to the Lin family?"

"You can give it if you want." Xiao Zihan's face was full of fearlessness, without any trace of bravado or pretense, "If you don't mind Xiao's group becoming Lin's group in the future, then I don't mind either, anyway. It was originally the land laid down by my father, not mine."

"Xiao Zihan!" Zhao Suizhi stood up abruptly, turned around and pointed at Xiao Zihan with trembling fingertips, "You...don't force me!"

A helpless and painful smile slipped across Xiao Zihan's face, "Mom, you are forcing me now."

Zhao Suizhi couldn't say anything to refute, even when she was so angry that she was about to faint, she maintained her usual dignity, only her eyes and the corners of her mouth were full of anger.

"I've finished what I should say, Mom, you're tired too, take a good rest." Xiao Zihan knew that it would be fruitless to continue talking, so he sighed, turned and walked out.

"Xiao Zihan!" Zhao Suizhi followed Xiao Zihan out of the bedroom. Before she could question and reprimand her, she was taken away by the black-clothed bodyguard who suddenly appeared from downstairs.

Zhao Suizhi frowned and looked at the strange bodyguards. Realizing that something was wrong, he looked at Xiao Zihan again and asked, "What do they do?"

Xiao Zihan glanced at it, and replied lightly: "I arranged for them to come here to protect you, Mom, it's been a rough few days, so you just stay here."

Zhao Suizhi's eyes widened bit by bit, and her surprised eyes gradually turned into panic, "Xiao Zihan, are you going to send someone to watch me?"

"No, it's to protect you. In the past few days, you should not contact the Lin family until my matter is over." Xiao Zihan saw the hurt look on his mother's face, and felt a pain in his heart. He looked away and tried his best to Do not go to see mother.

"……you……"

In front of the bodyguards and terrified nannies downstairs, Xiao Zihan didn't want to quarrel with his mother anymore, so he hurried downstairs before his mother finished speaking.

"Mom, take a good rest." Xiao Zihan slowed down when he was about to reach the door, and said something to his mother upstairs.

After finishing speaking, Xiao Zihan left in a hurry.

Zhao Suizhi stared at the gate of the villa for a while before he realized it.All the strength in her body seemed to be taken away, and she managed to stand still by holding on to the escalator.

"Ma'am! Ma'am, are you okay!" The nanny trotted all the way to Zhao Suizhi's side, and helped Zhao Suizhi who was crumbling.

Zhao Suizhi's eyes were red, panting, she walked a few steps with the help of the nanny, grabbed the vase placed on the side of the corridor, and slammed it hard at the bodyguard downstairs.

The vase fell on the bodyguard's head, and the bodyguard didn't even try to dodge, and suffered the blow abruptly.

Red blood flowed down the bodyguard's neck and sank into the black clothes.Zhao Suizhi watched as another bodyguard stepped forward and replaced the injured bodyguard.

The training was orderly, without any panic or restlessness.

Zhao Suizhi let out a series of whimpering laughter, and she could tell that in order to control her, his son sent elite subordinates from the Xiao Group.

In order to prevent her from contacting the Lin family, her precious son actually used talents that were only used against rivals to her.

"Madam! Madam! Madam, are you okay!" The nanny was terrified by Zhao Suizhi's crying and laughing, "Madam! Do you want to call the doctor?"

Zhao Suizhi laughed for a while with tears in his eyes, shook his head, struggled to get up, shook off the nanny's hand, and entered the bedroom.

The nanny didn't dare to follow, but she was afraid of accidents, so she could only hold her breath and guard the bedroom door, secretly watching the movement in the bedroom.

The young master has explained before that there must be no trouble for the madam.

……

Xiao Zihan left Xiao's and ordered the driver to drive back to Xiao's.

He took out his mobile phone and looked at it. Cai Jinyu replied to the message and made a few calls.His phone was on silent and he didn't hear it.

Xiao Zihan pinched his phone to ponder for a while, then dialed it directly.

"Zihan, I fell asleep late last night due to insomnia. I was still awake when you sent a text message. What's going on now? How is Auntie? Are you okay?" Cai Jinyu answered the phone and asked a series of crackling questions.

Xiao Zihan replied one by one, "I'm fine, my mother is at home now, I asked someone to watch her, I'm going back to the company now."

"That's good." Cai Jinyu was obviously relieved, "You didn't answer the phone just now, I was really worried to death, I was afraid that you and auntie would start a fight. How is auntie feeling now, have you persuaded her?"

Xiao Zihan pondered for a moment before saying, "No."

Cai Jinyu snorted, "Then... what should I do next?"

"Next... I'll go back to the company to deal with the Lin family first." Xiao Zihan pressed his tongue to his teeth and said seriously, "You can do something for me."
