Chapter 1672 Xie Hongjun’s Fortuitous Encounter

Xie Hongjun was angry too. "Mom, don’t forget, we were the ones who sent Dad to Mengyu to ask for her help. Other than exposing the truth—and telling us the cause of Father’s illness—she didn’t do anything else. Targeting her like this is wrong."

But he didn’t know that his mom would rather his father had died four years ago. She would rather be a widow than be abandoned by her husband.

"Yes, I’m wrong, I’m wrong, I shouldn’t have let you go pursue her."

Chen Xinyu was upset too. That girl was a total vixen, actually hooking away her son’s soul.

She’d thought her son was high-level; among all the women in the municipal compound, there wasn’t a single one he fancied. She thought he could withstand any woman’s attempts at seduction.

So she’d let her son go hook that servant, then ruthlessly dump her, so that girl could taste what it felt like to be abandoned by the man she loved.

Yet who would’ve thought that in trying to drive the dog to hunt, even the dog wouldn’t come back.

"Enough, Mom, stop talking. Say one more word and you can go back to your husband’s place. Don’t come to my place anymore."

Chen Xinyu choked. "You’re my son! This place belongs to me."

"You’ve already remarried." Xie Hongjun reminded her. "Your home now is with the Zhu Family. That guy pretending to be the owner today, that was your husband, right? Don’t let me see him in my shop again."

Chen Xinyu felt aggrieved again. "Son, he’s also your stepdad."

"No, no, no." Xie Hongjun said firmly. "I told you, you can get married, but I won’t acknowledge him. I only recognize you as my mom, and my biological dad."

In his heart he was actually very dissatisfied with this mom, who’d used improper means to steal his father and then hadn’t cherished him. She constantly used that man who’d pursued her for years without marrying, just to provoke his dad.

If back then, when that woman came begging for help, she had been willing to give her a bit of money, how would that woman’s son have ended up dying because of it, causing mother and son to both die and turn into vengeful spirits entangled with his dad?

What made Xie Hongjun even more resentful was that his dad divorced Mom in order to seek some justice for that woman. Yet before his dad had even really recovered, she married another man, completely ignoring his opposition as her son.

Fine, if you really have to get married, then just live your life properly—but what’s with coming to my shop every few days to stir up trouble?

This shop was bought with his father’s savings!

Of course, if not for his fortuitous encounter, this roast duck shop would never be doing this well.

Yes, the reason Xie Hongjun rushed back to the Capital City so quickly actually had to do with one thing: he had obtained a great opportunity in Mengyu’s hometown.

After learning about Mengyu’s background from Jiang Huaiyu, he went to Mengyu’s hometown to investigate. He even climbed that rocky mountain where Mengyu was said to have chopped firewood since childhood, and because of a misstep, fell through a rock crevice into a cave.

In that cave, there was a skeleton. He buried the skeleton and obtained the Immortal Cultivation legacy that skeleton had left behind. From then on, he stepped onto the path of Immortal Cultivation.

On that senior’s finger was a ring, and inside it was a planting space of about thirty mu. It had originally been planted full of Spiritual Medicine, but because that senior had overdrawn his Spiritual Power during a duel, all the Spiritual Medicine in the space had died.

However, since a Spirit Vein was buried in the space, the small pool of Spiritual Spring within still contained Spiritual Energy. And after several hundred years of nurturing, the Spiritual Energy in the space had slowly recovered.
