Chapter: 5194

Leaf Chen laughed mockingly and said: "Dad, do you really believe what you're saying?"

Xiao Changkun defended himself strongly: "I... I really am thinking that way!"

Leaf Chen spoke very directly: "Dad, I know your nature; I also know what you're scheming. You're not willing to discuss divorce with mom; instead, you're waiting for a perfect opportunity, hoping that mom will suddenly disappear or refuse to live with you, and then you can just peacefully resolve the issue without any effort."

Xiao Changkun didn't expect Leaf Chen to directly hit upon his inner thoughts, so he looked embarrassed and said: "I'm also thinking about resolving the issue peacefully..."

Leaf Chen shook his head: "When mom returned from abroad, she was away for a short time. It's clear that during that period you were extremely enjoying the feeling. However, you didn't realize that those feelings are only temporary; you can't take something temporary as eternal."

"Speaking of which, Leaf Chen said sincerely: 'Dad, I have some understanding about Professor He's situation. To be honest, Aunt Han being with him seems to be the best choice. First of all, they're both single and have lost their spouses, so there's no psychological burden of destroying each other's families. Nor do they need to worry about past flames rekindling or worrying about the ex coming back to cause trouble.'"

"He said, looking at Xiao Changkun with a deep meaning: 'Given Mom's character, even if you two get divorced, she'll definitely not let it go if she finds out you and Aunt Han are rekindling their feelings. By then, you two will definitely be in an uncomfortable situation, unless you leave Jiangling forever and don't let him know where you've gone.'"

"Xiao Changkun sighed deeply: 'Leaf Chen... You're right again Leaf Chen... I'm just afraid of Ma Ran's lingering spirit! For the past twenty years or so, I've been dreaming every day about getting rid of her, but this woman is like a demon, impossible to let go of mine.'"

"Leaf Chen spoke calmly: 'This kind of thing requires you to take action yourself. You're already scared, what else is there to say?'"

"He said again: 'I just got done talking, Aunt Han and Professor He are both from the United States and graduated from top-tier universities, they're truly high-level intellectuals, regardless of whether it's in the US or China. They have very high social status, belonging to an absolute elite group. Just that one point is extremely compatible... Compared to Dad, aside from being Aunt Han's first love, he has no advantages compared to Professor He.'"

"Xiao Changkun spoke gloomily: 'He isn't just better-read than me? What else is stronger?'"

"Leaf Chen said seriously: 'Dad, the person's work is stronger than you. He's a specially appointed professor and vice dean of the Finance College, if he wants to go to Yanjing, Tsinghua will also be eager to have him come over... His lifestyle habits are stronger than yours, physical management is also stronger...'"

"Leaf Chen went on: 'Every day, he runs and exercises, at fifty years old, looking like a thirty-year-old. Aunt Han also likes running and has very good physical management. They definitely have countless common topics to chat about, Aunt Han being with him is the best choice... I believe they two will be very happy in their later years.'"

"Xiao Changkun was on the verge of tears, choking back his words: 'Leaf Chen, are you here to advise me or just add fuel to the fire? It seems like what you're saying is that Aunt Han has given up on me...'"

"Leaf Chen nodded solemnly: 'Not only is it right, but it's extremely right.'"

"Leaf Chen knew well that emotions were like this, once hurt, it would definitely need to be quickly cut and severed."

It's just like a small wound appearing on one leg, but this wound keeps bleeding and won't heal, so we need to cut off that leg to stop it from spreading, or otherwise, it will affect the whole body.

Xiao Changkun's actions were always reckless, as he said himself. Not only was he reckless towards Ma Ran, but also towards himself. How could he possibly give himself a heavy dose of medicine to treat his own psychological wounds?

So, this kind of thing can only be handled by yourself, the son-in-law.

Therefore, he patted Xiao Changkun's shoulder and consoled him: "Dad, forget it. You should admit defeat. Professor He is far superior to you in many aspects. Don't look at your current living arrangements or the size of your villa. If you want to compare yourself with him on equal terms, eight out of ten people would be no match for one person like Professor He. Your mother-in-law is with him, and you should just admit defeat if you have any lingering thoughts of discontent. It's better not to show off."

"Who said that?" Xiao Changkun's heart was extremely uncertain, but he still tried to defend himself: "I think I'm currently trying my best to make some changes and won't be outdone by him!"

Leaf Chen smiled: "You're like someone who can't beat people and keeps saying they've been ambushed. What good is just talking? If you really want to fight, you should get on the stage and punch a few more rounds. But your condition is nowhere near Professor He's. You can't even say one thing that's superior to him. Leave it to others. Professor He dares to love and hate openly, seeking glory with his whole being. That alone can leave you lagging behind by tens of thousands of miles."

"I..." Xiao Changkun suddenly didn't know how to argue.

Professor He was indeed far superior in many aspects. This time, going to Korea for cultural exchanges, he did the assignment so perfectly that it left everyone else in awe, his level directly defeating all participants.

Moreover, when Professor He went on stage to give a lecture, he effortlessly switched between Chinese, English, and Korean, captivating an audience of Korean elderly ladies like a sorcerer. His charisma had them mesmerized, their eyes fixed on him in wonder. JrNovels.com
