301 These Issues Aren’t Even Related
Sang Pengcheng’s first sentence left Sang Qianqian stunned.
“I just called your Director Miao.”
Sang Pengcheng did not even look at Shen Hanyu. He said to his daughter, “Since the poison has been detoxified and you’re fine, you don’t have to do the rehabilitation anymore. You don’t have to go back to Beijing. I’ve already quit your job for you.” he said.
Sang Qianqian could not believe it. “Dad, how could you do that?”
“I’ve already given you enough time. What did you promise me before you went abroad?”
Sang Pengcheng’s expression was stern. “Qianqian, you’re not young anymore. There’s no need to be so hung up on the past. It’s not good for you.”
“But you can’t just quit my job on your own, right?”
Sang Qianqian did not expect her father to come up with such a move and was getting a little anxious. “You know that I’m not young anymore. How can you interfere with my work so casually?”
“When you went abroad, you didn’t tell me that you were going back to the hospital in the capital!”
Sang Pengcheng got angry at the mention of this. His daughter had acted first and reported it later. She had only told him after returning to the hospital. It was too late for him to object.
“I won’t resign. I have to go back.”
Sang Qianqian was a little annoyed. She was supposed to talk about Shen Hanyu today, but her father had taken drastic measures and cut off her plans to return to the capital.
“Don’t even think about it!”
Sang Pengcheng raised his hand and slammed it on the table. The cups on the table jerked. “I’ve always let you have your way, but what have you done in the end? You’ve been hiding everything from dad and acting on your own. What did you get in the end? How long has it been since the days when you hid in your room and cried all day when you came back, and now you want to repeat the same mistakes?”
Sang Qianqian was extremely embarra.s.sed. She did cry at that time, but it hadn’t been all day, right?
Did her father have to exaggerate so much…
She subconsciously looked at Shen Hanyu, who was also looking back at her with his deep, dark eyes.
Sang Qianqian only felt her face turning a little fl.u.s.tered as she hurriedly avoided his gaze.
“I’ve pampered you too much in the past, but it’s not too late to discipline you now.”
Sang Pengcheng’s face was stern and his tone was unyielding. “You have to quit this job. I won’t let you go to the capital again. If you want to work at the hospital, then come back to Yuecheng. You’ll keep your promise to me.”
He looked at Sang Qianqian. “But if you really don’t want me to care about you, then I have nothing to say. Tomorrow, come with me to your mother’s grave and kowtow to her. You can personally tell your mother that it’s you who doesn’t acknowledge me as your father and that you don’t want me to care about you. It’s not that your father doesn’t recognize you. In the future, you can do whatever you want. I won’t say a word anymore.”
Sang Qianqian was dumbfounded.
Where did this even come from? Why did he start from the issue of her resignation to her not acknowledging him as her father? Furthermore, he even brought up her mother who had pa.s.sed away many years ago…
This was the first time in her life that Sang Qianqian had ever seen her father so angry at her. Furthermore, he was so harsh with his words.
She was a little dazed for a moment, and looked up at her brother. Sang Minglang was also very surprised.
Even Wen Xu was stunned.
The living room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The three of them looked at each other. They could not understand why Sang Pengcheng, who had always doted on his daughter to the extreme, was so angry today.
Moreover, this amount of rage points had completely exceeded their usual knowledge!
Shen Hanyu was silent for a moment. “Uncle Sang-”
“President Shen, don’t call me that. I can’t afford to be called that.”
Sang Pengcheng’s expression was extremely cold and distant. “Ever since my daughter went to Ming City last year, she has not stopped for the past year. Of course, she has also caused a lot of trouble for you, President Shen. I’m indebted to you for helping me so many times in the capital. You’re the one who saved my life. That day, when I found out that you were poisoned, Qianqian wanted to go overseas to seek medical treatment for you. Now that you’ve recovered, I implore you to let my daughter go and give her a way out. In the future, you’ll go your own way, and our Sang family will go on our own. We’ll be even and have nothing to do with each other anymore.”
These words were a little too much and Sang Qianqian could not help but say, “Dad, Hanyu didn’t do anything to me. What do you mean give me a way out…”
Sang Pengcheng glanced at Sang Qianqian and said sternly, “I’m talking to President Shen, not you.”
Sang Qianqian was speechless.
Her father seemed to have changed into a different person today. When Shen Hanyu refused to meet her and insisted on breaking up with her, did it really hurt her father that much?
After a moment of oppressive silence.
“I never felt that Qianqian had caused me any trouble,” Shen Hanyu said slowly. “It was my fault for not being able to protect her. That’s why she was in danger. I’ve never thought of breaking up with Qianqian, either. I only thought that I didn’t have long to live and didn’t want to implicate Qianqian, so I had to do this. Now that I’ve returned to normal, I still want to… Be husband and wife with her.”
His att.i.tude was extremely respectful, and his voice was calm and firm.
“Husband and wife? Don’t you think it’s laughable to say that?”
Sang Pengcheng’s face was stern. “Don’t you know what kind of status my daughter has with you?”
Shen Hanyu was startled. “Why do you say that?”
“Don’t play dumb in front of me. Do you really think I don’t know what you did in the capital?”
Sang Pengcheng seemed to have reached the end of his patience. “Minglang, send the guest off!”
“Dad, what happened to him in Beijing?”
Sang Qianqian replied seriously, “You can just say it. If he can explain, then he can. If he can’t, I’ll send him off myself.”
She knew that her father would not have been so angry if Shen Hanyu had only broken up with her.
There must have been something more serious for her father to be so angry with Shen Hanyu.
Sang Pengcheng sighed and looked at his daughter with heartache.
“Qianqian, I didn’t want to tell you about this. He’s been engaged to the Young Miss of the Fang family in Beijing for a long time.”
The moment he said that, Shen Hanyu’s tense heart relaxed.
Wen Xu’s face darkened. “Are you sure, Uncle Sang?”
“The last time I went to the Shen family’s residence,” Sang Pengcheng said, “I heard with my own ears that the Zhen family came to inform Shen Shaofeng about this. How could it be fake?”
Ever since he found out that Shen Hanyu was poisoned because he was trying to save Sang Minglang, Sang Pengcheng felt extremely guilty toward the Shen family.
Therefore, more than a month ago, when he went to Ming City for the company’s business, he dropped by the Shen family’s residence to visit Shen Shaofeng on the way. As a result, he also happened to b.u.mp into the Zhen family.
The other party told Shen Shaofeng that the Zhen family and the Fang family were about to have a marriage alliance. “The old lady said that she likes Miss Fang very much. The marriage between the Fang family and the Zhen family didn’t work out in the past, but now that Hanyu is engaged to Miss Fang, it can be considered that one of the old lady’s wishes has been fulfilled. Old Lady Zhen hopes that you won’t object to it. If you object… Then it would still be useless.”
Those words were heard by Sang Pengcheng.
Shen Shaofeng was also extremely embarra.s.sed. He did not even know how to explain himself and could only watch as Sang Pengcheng stormed off in anger.
