Chapter 258: Love Is One-Sided
"General, thank you for your efforts!"
Having received the promise from the main commander of Ba River Camp, Yuan Pandi was naturally filled with gratitude, "My young son may be unworthy, beat him if needed, scold him if necessary, as long as his life is spared, the Yuan Family will forever be in your debt!"
"Yuan, you speak too highly of me. I have a life-and-death friendship with your younger brothers; their nephew is my nephew. Yuan, rest assured!"
Sun Feng spoke with great spirit.
His words indeed reflected his bond with Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi on one hand, and on the other, it was because he believed that the futures of Yuan Wangdi and Yuan Laidi were certainly promising. By associating more with their nephew now, he would naturally be in their good graces if he had any requests in the future.
Yuan Pandi, of course, could guess some of Sun Feng’s intentions, but for the sake of his eldest son, he could only borrow the names of his second and third brothers.
Despite being very angry with Yuan Shougui’s actions, Yuan Shougui was still his son, and he couldn’t possibly ignore him completely.
...
After chatting with Sun Feng for a while, Yuan Pandi finally waited for Sun Feng’s personal guard to bring Yuan Shougui over.
Yuan Shougui was a tough one.
After being seriously injured by Mrs. Wu’s kick, in order to support the fairy in his heart in the future and stand dignified before her, he had dragged his severely injured body into the military camp.
Although he had only been in the camp for a few days, under the high-intensity training, Yuan Shougui was now in a really dire situation.
"Dad...?!"
Seeing his father appear before him, Yuan Shougui’s feelings were genuinely complex.
Not long ago, he thought he had been completely abandoned by his family.
But now, he saw the father who had come specifically for him.
"My eldest, you’ve suffered!"
Seeing his eldest son’s gaunt face, Yuan Pandi’s heart truly ached.
"Dad, I’m not suffering!"
Yuan Shougui spoke with a determined expression, "This is all my choice!"
"You foolish boy!"
Looking into his son’s stubborn eyes, Yuan Pandi sighed and said, "Your grandfather has already relented. As long as you break off with Miss Sheng, you can return home!"
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
Hearing his father mention Sheng Xueyi, Yuan Shougui’s expression changed instantly, "The matters between Xue’er and me don’t need your involvement!"
"My eldest...?!"
Yuan Pandi was stunned, speechless.
In his mind, his eldest son being in Ba River Camp clearly meant he understood he needed to break with Sheng Xueyi. But now, hearing his son’s words, it was not about breaking up, but rather a resolute determination to pursue this path.
"Dad, you’re my father. I hope you can support me!"
"For the rest of my life, I will marry no one but Xue’er!"
"Perhaps, in your eyes, there is a huge gap between Xue’er and me. But I don’t care, as long as I work hard enough, eventually, her family will realize that I, Yuan Shougui, am the perfect match for Xue’er!"
Smack!
After listening to Yuan Shougui’s words, Yuan Pandi was so enraged that he slapped him across the face and angrily shouted, "Are you crazy?"
"What is your relationship with Miss Sheng?"
"You say you won’t marry anyone else, but do you know if she wants to marry you?"
"You’re being so one-sidedly enthusiastic; are you out of your mind?"
"Dad, you don’t know anything!"
Even after being slapped by his father, Yuan Shougui stood firmly in front of Yuan Pandi, "Xue’er has always had feelings for me. Our emotions are something you all don’t understand!"
