Chapter 979 980: Easing Tensions
Some things really can't be made clear in just a few words.
Just like what's happening right in front of them now.
He froze for a moment.
Then he quickly explained, "I honestly have no idea what kind of nonsense you're spouting here right now."
"So—"
"Could you please just shut your own mouth right now, immediately?" Back then he was basically staring speechlessly at what was unfolding in front of him. Obviously, his take on this whole thing was not something he could clear up in a sentence or two.
Wu Bin saw that tsundere look on his face and couldn't help finding it funny.
"Really?"
Seeing that whole series of guilty-as-a-thief reactions he was putting on, Wu Bin couldn't help chuckling on the side. "Then you two can just sit face to face all night tonight, and both of you keep your mouths shut, how about that?"
Wu Bin was snickering on the side.
You had to admit, just that one line Wu Bin blurted out was already enough to make the other party feel awkward.
At that moment, you could also see that the person in front of him was in a rather helpless state.
They fell silent for a second.
Then.
Their eyes couldn't help but shift and land on Wu Bin.
Especially the Dean, who hurried over to Wu Bin, grabbed his hand in one go. "You say things like that, don't you think the relationship between the two of us is already awkward enough? If he really talks to me about what he went through back then, can things actually get better?"
As a father, he had always known that his son had gone through a lot over the years.
But even though his son had gone through so many trials and hardships in that time—
Chen Haofa had always gritted his teeth and held on.
No matter in the past or now, from beginning to end he truly never thought about changing his mind.
Just for that alone, as a father, even though he genuinely sometimes wanted to stand by his child's side, he had to admit that under all kinds of special circumstances, he really had no idea what to do about any of it.
He was frowning slightly.
He said, "I think we can take our time with this over the next while. Rushing it now isn't actually going to solve anything…"
He tried to give a proper explanation at this point, but Wu Bin didn't give him the slightest chance.
"I think this is the last chance. If your son doesn't spell out everything he went through back then in front of you today, that means this whole thing is ultimately going to be a thorn in his heart."
"Even if later on you deliberately go to him and keep pushing and pushing about it, I'm afraid he still won't tell you." Wu Bin looked at the man in front of him; at that moment he spoke with absolute sincerity.
Every word that came out of his mouth carried a very genuine attitude.
Every syllable that slipped out was like a sharp blade, gouging straight and hard at the other man's heart.
When the Dean heard this, he was instantly dumbfounded.
And a little bit shocked.
After that, with clear hesitation, he immediately walked over to stand in front of his own son.
"Even though on the surface our relationship has eased up a lot lately, I know you've gone through a lot of hardship before. If I want you to really forgive me, it definitely won't be that easy."
"And I just happened to hear a little bit from Wu Bin, so could you maybe…"
"Give me a bit more time over the next while?" Looking at the person in front of him, he spoke with extreme sincerity. He just wanted to have a proper talk with him—is that really such a problem?
He let out a deep sigh.
In that moment.
Chen Haofa fell silent all of a sudden.
"I think you'd better stop digging into this kind of thing—"
After wrestling with himself back and forth, he ultimately decided not to talk about certain things in front of his father.
Wu Bin said from the side, "I think the two of you should grab this chance and make a clean breast of everything you want to say, down to the last detail."
"And you two grown men, acting like a couple of women all day long—what is with all this simpering around from start to finish?"
"It's all in the past already. I just want to ask: what kind of unspeakable secret can there be in there? To the point that I'm only asking you to talk about it a little, and what do you two spend all day doing instead?"
Looking at the people in front of him, Wu Bin couldn't help letting out a sigh.
Right then.
His brows also furrowed slightly.
He just felt the two of them were being wishy-washy the whole time.
Even when plenty of good opportunities were right there in front of them, they still kept—
Overthinking everything.
As for this overly cautious way they were acting right now, Wu Bin naturally took it all in.
The more he watched, the more helpless he felt.
So.
Wu Bin immediately turned to the two in front of him and added, "You're both grown men, for heaven's sake, yet you spend all day overthinking like this, and there are still things you can't say to each other face to face."
Honestly.
Wu Bin kept grumbling on the side.
When He Bingbing heard the words Wu Bin just blurted out and saw how twisted up the Dean looked, his pupils couldn't help widening.
In his eyes, the Dean had always been someone extremely capable.
Whether in the past or now, he'd always been very clear about the Dean's prestige. He just hadn't expected that such a formidable Dean would one day be troubled by something like this.
So—
Seeing this scene, even he himself was now in a state of real shock.
Off to the side.
"Saying that kind of thing in front of the Dean—don't you think that's a bit inappropriate?"
"How is that inappropriate?"
Wu Bin suddenly turned his head.
Heh-hehed a laugh.
"It's not even that big a deal."
"Such a tiny little problem, don't tell me he isn't taking it seriously, but you're making a big deal of it in front of me?" Wu Bin's lips curved up slightly.
He mainly just wanted to see how the person in front of him would react.
