Such a good business partner is truly hard to find even with a lantern in hand.
Compared to Mr. Meng's dislike, Meng Jin had nothing but praise for Mo Siyu, not to mention Meng Jin's proud demeanor which made Mr. Meng even more displeased.
Mr. Meng glared at him and said, "Meng Jin, are you still a father?"
"Of course, I am." Meng Jin answered without a second thought.
Si Yu was his son; how could he not be happy about his son being so capable?
Meng Jin had thought that he would never find Xiaolin in this lifetime and might have to live a lonely life. But to his amazement, not only did he find Xiaolin, but he also had such an outstanding son. These days, Meng Jin felt that even in his dreams, he would wake up laughing.
"So, if you're a father, why don't you find Mo Siyu detestable, and instead praise him so much?" Mr. Meng huffed coldly, "Yanzhi was raised by my side, not your foster child. If only you had paid a little more attention to Yanzhi over the years, he wouldn't have…"
Mr. Meng didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was very clear. He regretted it; he knew he shouldn't blame his son, but he couldn't help it.
"Dad." Meng Jin slightly constrained his smiling expression and looked at Mr. Meng, genuinely not expecting that this matter, which he thought Mr. Meng had gotten over, was still something Mr. Meng blamed Si Yu for.
"What happened with Yanzhi has nothing to do with Si Yu," Meng Jin stated earnestly. "Yes, it was Si Yu who brought the matter to light. But Dad, have you ever thought that if it wasn't for Si Yu, someone else could have revealed it?"
"And besides, Yanzhi is the one who did something wrong, not Si Yu. It has nothing to do with him at all." Meng Jin defended Mo Siyu word by word. When he spoke about Si Yu, his affectionate tone made it seem as if Si Yu were his son and Yanzhi was an outsider.
"Meng Jin, no matter how good Mo Siyu is, he is not your son," Mr. Meng said with a stern face.
Meng Jin was about to tell Mr. Meng that Si Yu was indeed his son.
However, Mr. Meng didn't give him a chance to speak. He said, "I'm telling you, don't even think about acknowledging Si Yu as your godson. I am the first to disagree with that idea."
He knew that Mo Siyu had no father, only a mother.
"Dad, how could you think that?" Meng Jin was taken aback by Mr. Meng's words. Was he the kind of person who would just take a liking to someone else's child and then claim the child as his own?
"Don't think just because I'm old, I don't know anything," Mr. Meng said irritably. "Meng Jin, I heard that you've been very close to Mo Siyu lately. What, are you disregarding your own old father now?"
Though he was recuperating, it didn't mean he was deaf.
"Dad, you are biased against Si Yu." Meng Jin felt a headache coming on. Clearly, Si Yu was his own son, Mr. Meng's own grandson, but Mr. Meng's bias against Si Yu was just too strong.
"I am not biased," Mr. Meng retorted coldly. "I know Yanzhi did wrong, but this kind of whistleblowing is a sign of poor character."
At this moment, Mr. Meng completely forgot why Mo Siyu would expose Meng Yanzhi's actions.
"I'm sorry." Meng Jin's mood suddenly dipped, his eyes flashing with mixed emotions of guilt, self-blame, regret, and sorrow.
