Seeing Elder Madam Di return alone, Di Jianhan’s eyes kept scanning the outside.
“Where is Mingjue? Didn’t he come back with you?”
Sitting on the sofa, the Elder Madam calmly relayed, “Mingjue knows your intentions. As for returning, he did not accept.”
“Why?” Di Jianhan questioned indignantly. “Is it that woman who doesn’t want to come back with him? I told you she’s manipulative, but you didn’t believe me.”
Without understanding the situation, she cast aspersions on someone. The Elder Madam, with a stern face, defended Jiang Ziyu, “It’s Mingjue’s decision to independently develop his companies. It has nothing to do with Ziyu. After saying this once, don’t repeat these words.”
Independent development?
Di Jianhan, enraged, pounded the sofa. To abandon the well-established Di Jue Company and go into those messy little businesses. He truly had a life too comfortable!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Di Jianhan grabbed his coat and walked out. He acted as if he couldn’t hear the Elder Madam’s calls.
“Grandmother, I’ll go check on Uncle,” Lu Sisi informed her and then ran out after him.
Before Di Jianhan could drive away alone, she rushed to the front of his car and blocked him with her hand.
Di Jianhan frantically honked the horn, leaning out to shout at her, “Move aside! I’m going to drag that brat back right now.”
In his current state, the father and son would likely end up fighting!
Lu Sisi, while warily watching him step on the accelerator, fumbled to open the passenger door.
Once inside the car, she began to explain her plan, trying to persuade him, “Uncle, acting like this will only ruin everything and make things worse.”
“How much worse can it get than it already is? He’s already decided to settle down elsewhere. If I wait any longer and he establishes his roots, he’ll never come back,” Di Jianhan pressed the accelerator to the floor, and the car shot forward.
Lu Sisi hadn’t managed to fasten her seatbelt when she got into the car. The inertia propelled her body forward with the vehicle.
Her forehead hit the car window with a thud, her head ringing.
Hearing the sound and realizing Lu Sisi’s condition, Di Jianhan gradually calmed down and reduced the car’s speed.
“Do you need to go to the hospital?”
Lu Sisi waved her hand, rubbing the spot on her forehead that hurt. “Can Uncle listen to me now?”
His impulsiveness had nearly caused her injury, and Di Jianhan felt extremely guilty. He nodded, signaling for her to speak.
The car pulled over to the side of the road. After her pain subsided a little, Lu Sisi began to speak, “Going there now will only make Mingjue brother trust you even less. Grandmother only returned less than an hour ago, and you’ve already exposed your intentions. If things fall apart and Mingjue brother gets angry and goes to another city or country, Uncle, you truly won’t have any regrets left.”
Hearing these words after calming down, Di Jianhan felt they made sense.
Di Mingjue was no longer a child but an adult with his own thoughts. If they fell out now, he might truly lose his son.
“Then what do we do now?” Di Jianhan asked. “We can’t just let them live outside like this. There must be a way to get him back.”
Even the Elder Madam’s intervention didn’t work. There was no one left in the Di family who could make Di Mingjue listen.
Lu Sisi raised her eyebrows and whispered into Di Jianhan’s ear.
“The Elder Madam is fine. If he comes back and sees she’s not really well, he’ll have to go back anyway. In the end, he still won’t trust me.” Di Jianhan didn’t think her suggestion was very good.
Lu Sisi moved back, refuting his concern, “Once he’s back, and you’ve said a few nice words, will Mingjue brother really disown you as a father?”
They say one doesn’t hit a smiling face. Would he refuse his overtures again and again?
