She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 1936: Chapter 82: A Father’s Dignity

"Old Gao, I didn’t take Jinglin back to my parents’ home!" Liu Fen said, "I was gone for a long time, afraid it would affect his studies, so I let him stay home and study well."

"Find him." Gao Yuejin ordered loudly, "Go, find that little rascal and bring him to me."

The assistant responded quickly and hurried out.

It’s been half a month since the guide’s son went missing, and this isn’t a minor issue.

******

The Gao Family was in a flurry looking for him, making everyone in the Old Mansion aware. Meng Xingzhi and Gao Yuejin had been partners for many years, one as a President, the other as a senior rescue guide, and naturally learned about it earlier and more clearly than others.

Today was the day Meng Fan returned to the rescue team. This made his year even busier than usual. As the heir of the Meng Family, the General Star most valued by the Northern District leaders, the burden on him was heavier than anyone else’s. The New Year should have been a time for family reunions, but he still had unavoidable social obligations.

And complex power relationships.

In the morning, the aunt and Su Yun were busy packing things, preparing various food and clothing for him to take to the rescue team. Meng Fan didn’t refuse, even if he didn’t need it himself, he could share it with his teammates.

"Dad, when will you bring Pingping back?" This time Meng Fan returned to the Northwest District to visit his younger brother, who appeared much darker than usual, and he felt sorry for him and wanted to bring him back.

"No." Meng Xingzhi answered crisply, leaving no room for negotiation, "That brat deserves to be taught a lesson. He can come back when he realizes his mistakes." In fact, there was an even bigger reason why he was unwilling to bring Meng Ping back.

Su Yun had always indulged Meng Ping. Ever since he was a kid, he was uncontrollable. Give him a ladder and he could climb to the sky. Now that he was busy with his own work, and Meng Fan was getting busier with the rescue team, there was no one to discipline him, so he absolutely couldn’t let him come back.

Relying on Su Yun was not an option, so he could only leave Meng Ping in the care of his father for discipline.

Meng Fan thought for a moment, nodded, and didn’t insist. He understood in his heart the concerns his father had; Su Yun, as a stepmother, couldn’t control Pingping.

Meng Xingzhi was never willing to let his eldest son be disappointed. Since the eldest son brought it up, he was sure to give an answer. He thought for a while and said, "Let him stay there a bit longer. When the weather’s not cold, bring him back and throw him into your company for some training."

"That works, but I might not have time to personally lead him then." Meng Fan suddenly thought of Xu Qigang and smiled, "But I have a suitable candidate, someone who can definitely train him till he’s miserable."

"Alright!"

Over the course of a meal, the father and son determined Meng Ping’s future miserable life.

"By the way, what did you mean by saying you don’t have time?"

"After the New Year, I have to lead a team on a mission. The time is uncertain, and the mission is confidential." Meng Fan had already finished eating and paused for a moment before putting down his chopsticks, "And... I’m about to be promoted to Deputy Captain, so I don’t have time to train Pingping personally."

"Good boy, you’re amazing!" Meng Xingzhi showed a kindly smile typical of a proud father, which made Su Yun beside him slightly envious.

The son’s promotion was something even his father, the President, wasn’t aware of, proving the son’s capability. Meng Fan had been sent to the rescue team to be trained since he was a child and had officially joined the rescue team, climbing step by step to where he was today.

As a father, he always wanted what was best for his son but never managed to do much for him, which made him feel quite guilty!

Meng Xingzhi felt overwhelmed with fatherly love, needing to find something to do to relieve it. After thinking for a long time with narrowed eyes, he suddenly displayed an angry look.

The others were startled.

Meng Fan secretly shook his head, thinking his father had misunderstood again!
