Sweet Beauty

Chapter 1066: I Won’t Fight With My Brother

Hou Shihong was also surprised by Hou Yingyi's new appearance, but he still said nonchalantly. "You are willing to come back now?"          

Hou Yingyi said nothing. He pulled up a chair and sat in front of the table. The servant immediately served him rice. He picked up the bowl and the chopsticks. Without saying anything, he continued to eat his own food.      

Yu Meilin bit her lip. She took the chopsticks and slowly picked up the vegetables while looking at Hou Yingyi sadly.      

Hou Shihong snorted through his nose. If Hou Yingyi did not want to speak, he would not let go of his father's dignity. He would not stick his hot face on Hou Yingyi's cold butt!      

They were family, but they ate very politely, as if the three of them were strangers.      

After the meal, Yu Meilin became more and more worried about her youngest son. She quickly followed Hou Yingyi to the living room.      

Hou Yingyi just sat on the sofa and got up to go to the toilet. Yu Meilin also got up to go with him.      

Finally, Hou Yingyi spoke, "Mom, I want to go to the toilet. Do you want to follow me there too?"     

"I… I…" Yu Meilin found it difficult to say, "I don't want to…You... you go."     

Hou Yingyi looked at her coldly. With a quick glance, he lifted his feet and headed to the toilet.      

Hou Shihong sat next to Yu Meilin. She quickly lowered her voice and said, "Yingyi has already come back. Say something. Ask him to persuade Zexian."     

Hou Shihong's face immediately darkened. "Why didn't you say it yourself? Didn't you see Yingyi's face? When he came home, his face was so bad. It was like we drove him away from here!"     

"Ah, that's not what I meant!" Yu Meilin could only try to convince Hou Shihong. "As a father, you didn't say anything good to him. So how can Yingyi not be angry? Hubby, Yingyi is still our child. Don't be so hard on him. You still have to give him a face."     

Hou Shihong was angry at first. If Yu Meilin had said this in the past, he'd definitely have said a hundred words to scold her. But now it was different.      

During this period of time, his life had been tormented by Hou Zexian until he nearly lost his temper. He agreed with Yu Meilin's words.      

Coincidentally, Hou Yingyi came out of the bathroom at this time.     

Although Hou Shihong didn't say that he wanted to give Hou Yingyi a good face to Yu Meilin, at least he didn't look as bad as when Hou Yingyi had just returned.      

Yu Meilin nudged him gently on the side. He took a deep breath and waved at Hou Yingyi lovingly. "Yingyi, come here and sit down."      

Hou Yingyi looked at them coldly. There was a faint smile on his face. He walked over and sat across from them.      

Hou Shihong was the first to say, "Yingyi, what dad said to you last time was too much. But at that time, I was angry, so don't take it to heart, okay? After all, we're a family. We shouldn't have a deep hatred for each other. Don't you agree?"      

A deep hatred?      

Hou Yingyi smiled sarcastically, but his tone was calm. "Dad is right. It's my fault because I was too immature at the time. I didn't know what I should do. There was something wrong with what I did."     

Hou Shihong never thought that talking to Hou Yingyi would be so easy.      

After a month, had he really thought about his mistake, or was he just pretending?      

Hou Shihong even had the feeling that he couldn't see through Hou Yingyi at the moment. He pretended to look like a loving father, but in truth, he wanted to know more about Hou Yingyi during this one month.      

"Since you have realized your mistake, you can go back to work tomorrow. Although the job in a nightclub also brings in money, it's a place where you cannot see the light, and it's not good for you to stay there all the time. Go back to the company. I will give you the position of general manager. Work hard with me."         

Hou Yingyi suddenly frowned and asked uncertainly, "I remember dad giving Zexian the position of general manager. Wouldn't it be inappropriate if I replaced Zexian like this as soon as I come back? At that time, the higher-up in the company might think I want to declare a fight with him."     

"I have the final say in the company!" said Hou Shihong. "Zexian is no longer interested in the company's matters. It's only natural that you take his place. Even if Zexian suddenly wants to return to the company, he will take over the position of deputy general manager and help you. It will be a good decision for both of you to work together."      

Ha!      

Hou Yingyi sneered inwardly.     

Don't think he did not know that the general manager was just a title! As long as Hou Zexian wanted it, the deputy general manager had more power than the general manager!      

Let Hou Yingyi firmly sit in the position of general manager. When the time came, Hou Shihong would give the position of CEO to Hou Zexian and have Hou Yingyi help him. This plan was much more brilliant.     

"Forget it." Hou Yingyi did not take Hou Shihong's approach seriously. He said nonchalantly. "My ambition is not in the company. I just want an acre of land and to enjoy the rest of my life on my own. There is no harm in it, right? I will not fight with my brother for anything. After all, we are brothers."      

Hou Shihong breathed a sigh of relief.      

In his heart, he admired Hou Yingyi's mature mind more and more.      

He nodded.      

"This matter is not urgent. Zexian's affairs are the most pressing at the moment. He's been taking care of your child for a while. I don't know what he is thinking. This is your child. If this matter spreads out, it will not be good for the reputation of the Hou Family. Yingyi, go see him."     

If Hou Shihong continued to talk about the company's affair or anything else, Hou Yingyi would not hate him so much. However, Hou Shihong did not.      

Hou Yingyi was more sure of what Hou Shihong was thinking. All the words Hou Shihong said to him were to calm him down under the pretense of asking for his help to convince Hou Zexian.     

Hou Yingyi had been holding it back for a really long time. He could hardly hold it in anymore.      

He wanted to get up and fight with Hou Shihong. He wanted to tell Hou Shihong about all the grievances he had experienced in the past few days.      

However, he was a man who had experienced great joys and sorrows.      

Hou Yingyi gritted his teeth and tried his best to hold his temper. He actually managed to hold it back just like that!      

Hou Yingyi even admired his self-control.      

"Okay." He stood up, but his hands were balled into fists at his sides. "I'm going to see Zexian and also... see my son."
