Sheng Zong’s words opened a door in Gu Shiting’s heart.
He told Sheng Zong to rest well, and then immediately went out.
Anything that is done will leave traces. Gu Shiting wanted to find some clues from it.
Sheng Zong recuperated at Gu Shiting’s place for three days and then returned to school.
He said he injured his hand playing basketball, but the head teacher didn’t believe such a young man’s excuse. He immediately complained to Sheng Sidong, "Your son was fighting with someone, you better take care of it!"
Sheng Sidong: "..."
"How come this is so out of character for you?" The head teacher added fuel to the fire, "Is this son of yours adopted?"
Sheng Sidong: "..."
He was utterly embarrassed.
Sheng Zong was called back home.
He didn’t hide anything, just said that he was out shopping with his ex-girlfriend and was provoked by Sheng Zhang, so he fought back.
He used the words "ex-girlfriend", Sheng Sidong and Fang Mengying exchanged glances.
Later, Sheng Sidong spoke to his son alone and asked him, "Why did you break up?"
Sheng Zong didn’t want to speak ill of Jin Luo. A breakup is a breakup, he simply replied, "At first, I thought it was good, but later found out we were not suitable for each other."
"How were you not suitable?"
"Different values, some fundamental issues where we couldn’t agree," Sheng Zong said.
Sheng Sidong knew this was his son’s second girlfriend. Worried that he might become promiscuous in the future, he wanted to give him some advice, so he inquired more, "What fundamental issues?"
"For example, she wanted to find a rich second-generation, while I wasn’t sure if I wanted to join Grandpa’s company and become the second young master of the Sheng Family at Jiali Garden," Sheng Zong said.
Sheng Sidong: "..."
His father was momentarily speechless.
Knowing his son broke up because of this, the couple had nothing more to say to criticize him.
Sheng Zong’s arm injury was also posted on his social media, and Xu Yun and Xu Kai in Beijing both saw it.
The twin siblings seized the opportunity and told Xu Bingzhi, "We are going to S City to visit the sick."
The two of them slipped to S City without Xu Bingzhi’s permission.
They arrived on the day Sheng Zong had his cast removed; he was likely going to need some time to recuperate.
"Brother, rent a boat and let’s go out to sea!" Xu Kai couldn’t forget about this; he had regretted not going out to sea last time.
"Don’t you two need to go back to school?"
"Taking a few days off is not a problem. Besides, why study? Old Xu has the ability to get us into the best universities, you can be totally at ease," Xu Kai said recklessly.
Sheng Zong clicked his tongue, "No wonder Uncle Xu worries about you two every day. If I were your dad, I’d be worried too."
Xu Kai: "..."
This dear brother of his, why did he speak so harshly?
Despite saying that, Sheng Zong decided to go out to sea. He thought of his sister and Gu Shiting, and immediately called Gu Shiting.
"Brother Ting, can you prepare a yacht for us? I can help you get my sister to come," Sheng Zong said, "By the way, I will also help you find out what is going on with her boyfriend."
Gu Shiting laughed softly on the other end, his voice very calm, "I already know what’s going on. When do you need the yacht?"
"Tomorrow?"
"No problem," Gu Shiting said, "You all come to my place tomorrow and we will take my car to the dock."
Sheng Zong was overjoyed.
After hanging up with Gu Shiting, Sheng Zong immediately called his sister.
The past few days, Sheng Tang had been reading scripts and discussing with Ke Fei which project to take on next. The two had a bit of a disagreement, making Sheng Tang quite stressed.
Hearing that Xu Yun and Xu Kai had come again, Sheng Tang was even more stressed.
"... I have to go!" Sheng Tang said, "None of you three are reliable, and your arm hasn’t healed yet. If something happens, how can we explain it to the Xu Family? Really, how could you agree to such unreasonable demands?"
