The CEO’s Wife Has A Secret - Chapter 184

After talking to Hannah he already went back home although it is still a little early. As soon as he got back to the Xi Mansion, he found his father-in-law is sitting on the couch in the receiving area looking like he is waiting for someone.

The way he is sitting with his back straight, if one is not familiar with him they would be easily intimidated by the aura he has. Whether it was during his prime years or now, that aura has never changed and Shen Feng who has been with him for a long time now could testify to that.

Shen Feng walked forward and bowed slightly to show his respect. “Good evening, father.”

As soon as the old man’s gaze dropped on him he already knew that it was definitely him he was waiting for. “After you have changed, go to my study. I need to talk with you.” he said seriously.

Shen Feng already know what his father-in-law might want to talk about. A few days ago he already told him that he would soon explain to Xi Ana everything. Now that he is being summoned to the study he knew that the old man already learned that he went to his daughter’s office this afternoon.

“I understand, father.” he answered respectfully.

His grandfather studied him for a while before he gestured that he can go and said, “Alright then I’ll wait for you.”

After saying those words the old man stood and walked towards where his personal study room is.

Shen Feng didn’t dare stay idle as well as he went to his room to change as fast as he could.

When he was done, he didn’t waste any more time and went to his father-in-law’s study and just when he was about to knock, the door to the study opened and Uncle Mu went out. “Uncle Mu.”

Uncle Mu smiled as he respectfully made way and opened the door wider to let Shen Feng in, “The Old master has already been waiting for you, Master Feng.”

At first when he was just married into the family, being called ‘Master’ was kind of awkward but he eventually got used to it over time and it’s not like he can refuse being called as such, “Thank you, Uncle Mu.” after saying those words he went inside the study and Uncle Mu closed the door behind him.

“Father, I’m here.”

“Take a seat.” his father-in-law gestured for him to sit and so he did.

There was no suffocating feeling like one would imagine. His biological father died early that’s why even though Xi Shendong is his father-in-law, he really became the father figure in his life. Likewise, the latter was never indifferent to him which makes their relationship warm and harmonious.

If there is a competition about the best relationship between a father-in-law and his son-in-law, not to brag but they would probably win.

He didn’t dare ask anything as soon as he sat and just waited for his father-in-law to start the conversation. “So, you’re finally telling Ana everything?”

“Yes, father I’ve already decided.” he was right, this is also the thing that he wanted to talk about.

—

Xi Shendong knew from Shen Feng’s response that there is no more hesitation unlike before. Whenever this topic was brought up before, Shen Feng will always show signs of uneasiness and hesitation.

“If that is what you have decided then I don’t have any reason to stop you. Ana and Chen aren’t young anymore and now that you have decided to tell Ana, I believe you’ve already prepared yourself about the her possible reactions.”

His granddaughter’s heart was hardened because of the things that happened in the past and predicting her possible reaction when she learned the real reason why her father left all these years.

“I don’t expect that she will forgive me anymore.” there was an unconcealed sadness in the way he said those words.

Hearing the dejection in his voice, Xi Shendong can’t help but sigh. Clearly, everyone in their family suffered greatly because of that person. He really wanted to know for what reason did that person kill his daughter and even torture their whole family.

“Ana is a rational person, she will understand why you had to do that.”

All the things that happened in his family was because of that person. Not only did he kill his only daughter he even used his grandchildren’s lives to threaten his son-in-law. It is obvious that he doesn’t not plan to let them live peacefully.

There’s no way a sane person would do all those horrible things to them.

“I hope father is right.” these words were supposed to be filled with hope but clearly, there was only loneliness and nothing more.

Looking at his son-in-law, he felt that he really owed him too much that he might not be able to pay it back in this lifetime.

“Feng, I don’t think I’ll be able to repay you for the sacrifices you’ve done for this family.” he is the head of this family yet he felt like for all the things that happened he really did nothing to help.

Shen Feng stood and walked beside him, “Father, what are you even saying? All the things I did, I did them because I care about our family and if you try to repay them back then wouldn’t that lose all the meaning behind everything I did?”

“Then allow me to at least thank you for everything. The mere fact that you married into the Xi Family, letting your children carry our family name is already very meaningful to me. When Xi Wei died, you could have left this family and start anew but you didn’t, for that I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

“It doesn’t matter to me since they are carrying their mother’s name, that is more than enough and father why would I leave? Father is also my family, if I leave you I bet Wei’er will never be able to rest in peace and it’s not like I can just leave you, right?”

Xi Shendong really treated Shen Feng as his son and he could also feel that the latter also treated him like his real father. Xi Wei really picked the best person.
