BHBF Chapter 73.3

Boss, He’s Becoming a Father (Arc 4) Chapter 73.3: Playful Son (3)

But it wasn’t just the father who was angry with his son. The son also had a lot of grievances to complain to his father. However, the more grievances he hid in his heart, the more awkward Shao Jiashan became and was unwilling to speak properly.

Therefore, facing Shao Yu’s patient questioning, Shao Jiashan did not explain carefully, but said: “I will solve the trouble myself.”

Shao Yu raised his eyebrows slightly as he saw how tough this kid was. He thought to himself that the father and son had exactly the same temper, and it was no wonder that their relationship was becoming increasingly strained.

Xiao Han hurriedly said, “Jiashan, if you have anything to say, please talk to us nicely. Even if you really got into trouble, just tell us and we will help you solve it together.”

After persuading her eldest son, she went to persuade Shao Yu and said, “Master, don’t be too angry. Jiashan is young and it is normal for him to make mistakes. It’s all my fault. I didn’t fulfill my responsibility of educating him. Master, don’t worry, I will go to their house to apologize now and make sure they forgive Jiashan.”

After listening to these words, Shao Yu felt that Xiao Han seemed to be completely confirming Shao Jiashan’s mistakes and even adding fuel to the fire between father and son.

Sure enough, after her persuasion, Shao Yu did not get angry, but Shao Jiashan got angry instead and said, “I have caused this trouble myself, so I will take the consequences myself. You are not allowed to vent your anger!”

Xiao Han also looked at Shao Jiashan at the right time, revealing an expression of gratitude that her love for him was not in vain.

At this moment, she was just waiting for Shao Yu to express his opinion. After all, in the past, when things like this happened, Shao Yu would always blame her a few words, but afterwards he would feel that he was taking his anger out on her and would feel guilty about it.

Xiao Han is already very skilled at this, but Shao Yu did not play according to common sense today.

“Did I say you were in trouble?” Shao Yu asked back.

Xiao Han and Shao Jiashan were both stunned when they heard this.

Shao Yu continued, “You’re trying to take the blame on yourself before you even understand the situation.”

Shao Jiashan looked at Shao Yu in disbelief. He listened to the meaning in his father’s words and felt that he seemed to believe him.

“Now I ask, and you answer nicely, okay?”

When Shao Yu said this, although his face was still wooden and he seemed no different from his usual serious father, Shao Jiashan felt for the first time that maybe his father wanted to have a good communication with him.

Seeing that his silly son didn’t answer for a long time, Shao Yu asked, “Don’t you want to talk?”

After a long time, Shao Jiashan finally nodded slightly.

Only then did Shao Yu feel that the other party could still be saved. There was a deep gap between father and son, and it was normal for them to be unwilling to communicate. But if Shao Jiashan was still unwilling to step down even after being given this opportunity, it could only mean that he had given up on their father-son relationship.

“Who is the person outside causing trouble?” Shao Yu asked.

“It’s Chen Erhu.” Shao Jiashan said.

Shao Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, “Is this his real name or a nickname you gave him? Which family does he belong to?”

Shao Yu asked in a gentle voice, and Shao Jiashan also explained with rare patience. Xiao Han, who was standing by, saw the father and son chatting smoothly, and suddenly a sense of crisis arose in her heart.

Through the questions and answers, Shao Yu gradually understood the whole story.

The man who came outside the door and shouted was the second son of Lord Chen. The reason why he came to cause trouble was because Shao Jiashan beat up Lord Chen’s youngest son, who was also the brother of Chen Erhu.

“Why did you hit him?” Shao Yu asked.

Shao Jiashan fell silent, as if he didn’t know how to explain.

Xiao Han saw the opportunity and said, “Master, I vaguely heard that it was because of some courtesan that they caused trouble in Yihong Courtyard.”

Shao Jiashan looked at Xiao Han in surprise, but still did not explain.

If it were usual, Shao Yu would have been furious as soon as he heard that his son went in and out of a brothel and would not have listened to any other explanations.

But this time, Xiao Han’s wishful thinking ultimately failed.

Shao Yu said: “Your mother’s explanation is not very clear, I still want to hear you say it again.”

Shao Jiashan opened his mouth and looked around, still not knowing whether he should say it or not.

Xiao Han didn’t urge him, but said: “Child, quickly admit your mistake to your father. You are father and son. Even if you really cause trouble, won’t we help you clean it up?”

Shao Yu said, “Whether it is wrong or not, we should wait until he says it out loud before judging.”

Shao Jiashan still did not speak.

Shao Yu looked around and ordered everyone else to leave. Now there were only three of them in the room.

“Now that there are no outsiders here, you can speak now.” Shao Yu said.

Shao Jiashan suddenly raised his head. He didn’t expect that Shao Yu would be so persistent about the truth of the matter today.

At this moment, Xiao Han felt more and more uneasy, and always felt that today’s events were out of her control.

Shao Jiashan thought for a long time, and finally said: “I compete with them for the courtesan because they said…they said…”

Shao Jiashan seemed to find this difficult to say and did not dare to continue.

“It’s what they said, not what you said, what are you afraid of?” Shao Yu asked.
