Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Father, I Have Been Unfilial_1
No one could decipher what he was thinking.
But as his father, Dongfang Zujie could clearly see that he had not changed his mind in the slightest.
He and He Meilian had tried to persuade him many times, to no avail.
Now, even when everyone in the family tried to advise him, he still wouldn’t listen…
Dongfang Zujie couldn’t hold back anymore and smacked his palm on the table!
“Dongfang Yu, I ask you, are you really going to commit this unforgivable act, driving everyone away?!”
His sudden roar stunned everyone.
Hai Xiaotang’s eyelids also twitched.
Everyone was looking at Dongfang Yu, awaiting his response.
Everyone’s tension was palpable, silently pressing…
Dongfang Yu slowly lifted his gaze, meeting his father’s stare directly. Then, he resolutely uttered one word: “Yes.”
Dongfang Zujie was taken aback, “You… ”
Everyone was stunned, including Hai Xiaotang…
“Father, it is my unfilial behavior,” Dongfang Yu stood up, his lips tightly pursed, but his gaze was resolute. “If I could give up, I would have done so long ago. Even the slightest hesitation or regret would make me give up! I don’t want to be ungrateful, I don’t want to drive everyone away, I don’t want to do this, but… compared to these, I can’t bear a life without Hai Xiaotang!”
Hai Xiaotang’s pupils abruptly contracted and her feelings suddenly became complex.
Her eyes inexplicably moistened.
She wasn’t sure what she was mourning or feeling sad about… she just inexplicably felt a bit distressed.
The others, too, were stunned by Dongfang Yu’s words. They knew very well what kind of person he was.
Unyielding and ruthless once he made up his mind.
The most calm, rational, and outstanding figure in the family.
His decision was immutable.
Thus, hearing him voice these words, they knew it was over. For no one could change his decision or stop him!
“Dongfang Yu, do you know what you are doing?” Dongfang Zujie asked word by word, “Do you even remember your surname?!”
Dongfang Yu lowered his eyes, “Father, I’m sorry!”
He truly couldn’t give up Hai Xiaotang…
Just the thought of having to leave her, of never being able to be with her, made him feel like dying.
If he truly couldn’t be with her… He didn’t know what he should do.
“Bravo, Dongfang Yu,” Dongfang Zujie sneered, his eyes shooting out icy rays of light. “Since you are so obstinate, then there’s nothing more to be said. From today, you get out of…”
“Wait!” He Meilian suddenly cut him off.
She stood up to Dongfang Yu and said, “Yuyu, I know you love Hai Xiaotang. However, is it worth it to act as you are? You are willing to sacrifice everything for her, but she may not love you in return.”
Dongfang Yu was slightly startled…
He Meilian bluntly said, “Actually, I invited Xiaotang here too. She heard our conversation just now.”
Dongfang Yu looked up in surprise, his gaze immediately landing on Hai Xiaotang standing at the back door.
The others followed his gaze and saw her too…
He Meilian said to Hai Xiaotang, “Xiaotang, come in. Tell us what you think of Yuyu. You saw his feelings for you just now, so I hope you can honestly tell us what you think! If you both truly love each other and are willing to sacrifice everything for each other, then I might consider letting you two be together! But if not, I hope you won’t hurt my son…”
