Siheyuan: Tanjia Cuisine He Daqing, destroying Yi Zhonghai

Daqing felt Lisa's warmth and was touched. Maybe she was right, he really needed to find some new directions, but he still had no answer as to where to go.

One morning, He Daqing woke up in the garden of the villa. The party had just ended last night, and there were bottles of wine and champagne glasses scattered on the ground. He rubbed his eyes and was about to get up to have a cup of coffee, but suddenly heard the sound of the front door being pushed open. He Daqing turned around and saw his father, He Shichang.

He Shichang walked into the villa angrily, and when he saw his son and several beauties scattered in the garden and living room, his face became even gloomier. He strode to Daqing and glared at him.

"He Daqing! Look at what you have become!" He Shichang roared, his voice full of disappointment and anger.

Daqing was stunned for a moment. He had never seen his father so angry. He stood up and tried to explain: "Dad, why did you come here suddenly? I..."

"Shut up!" He Shichang interrupted him, "I've seen enough of your nonsense! Do you know how much effort the family has put in for you? And you are here, living a life of drunkenness and debauchery all day long!"

Daqing felt impatient and thought his father's scolding was meaningless. He responded coldly: "This is my way of life. I like freedom and don't like being bound."

He Shichang was shaking with anger. He pointed at the young men who were still sleeping on the ground and said, "Are these people your friends? Will they lend a hand when you need help? Or will they only come to enjoy your luxury when you have money?"

Daqing shrugged, with a hint of disdain in his eyes: "It doesn't matter whether they are true friends or not. What matters is that I am happy now. Father, I don't want to be bound by the responsibilities of you and the family."

He Shichang took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He looked at his son, the heir he had high hopes for, but now he had become such a stranger. His voice was low and firm: "If you continue like this, I will sever the father-son relationship with you. You can do whatever you want."

Daqing was stunned. Although he usually disdained his father's teachings and expectations, he was still shocked and heartbroken when he heard his father say that he wanted to sever the father-son relationship. He didn't understand why his father couldn't understand his choice.

"Dad, are you really going to do this? Just because I don't live the way you want?" There was a hint of anger and helplessness in Daqing's voice.

"It's not because you don't live according to my way, but because you have no sense of responsibility at all!" He Shichang's voice was still stern. "If you continue like this, you will not only be irresponsible to your family, but also to your own life."

Daqing was silent. He looked at his father's stern face and felt a little shaken in his heart, but more confused and resisted. He always thought that he was pursuing freedom and happiness, but his father's words seemed to reveal a truth that he was unwilling to face.

Seeing his son stop talking, He Shichang sighed and softened his tone a little: "Daqing, it's not that I don't love you. I just hope you can understand that life is not just about pleasure, there are many more important things."

Daqing lowered his head. He knew his father was doing this for his own good, but he still couldn't accept this change in lifestyle. He felt that his freedom and happiness were the most important, and everything else was not worth mentioning.

"I'll consider it, Dad." Daqing finally said, with a hint of compromise in his voice, but more of reluctance.

He Shichang nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave the villa. Daqing looked at his father's back and felt an unprecedented heaviness in his heart. He knew he had to make some changes, but he was still confused about how to do it.

In the early 1960s, He Daqing was just 20 years old. He was a slender, handsome young man who often wore a well-tailored suit and an expensive watch on his wrist. He entered a top university under the arrangement of his parents, but he was not very interested in studying. His life focused more on luxurious parties, sports cars and various social activities.

On campus, He Daqing quickly became a popular figure. He was extravagant and lavish, always treating his classmates to lavish meals and taking them to high-end nightclubs and clubs. In his eyes, money seemed to be endless. Despite this, not all of his friends were sincere, and most of them were attracted by his money.

One day, his father decided to let him take over part of the family business, hoping that he could gradually grow into a qualified successor. However, He Daqing had no interest in this job. He thought that dealing with those tedious documents and meetings in the office was a waste of youth. He preferred to drive his sports car in the city and enjoy the thrill of speed.

Gradually, He Daqing began to get tired of this repetitive luxurious life. He felt empty and bored, and even felt like a canary trapped in a gorgeous but cold cage. Whenever he saw people on the street struggling for life, he would always have an inexplicable yearning in his heart, longing for a more real life experience.

One day, he met a girl named Li Hui in a cafe. Li Hui came from an ordinary family, but she had a pair of clear and bright eyes and a heart full of dreams. She was working part-time to save money to complete her studies. He Daqing was deeply attracted by her innocence and tenacity, and began to frequent the cafe, and the two gradually became familiar with each other.

Li Hui didn't know He Daqing's true identity and only treated him as an ordinary customer. During the chat, the two shared their views and dreams on life. Li Hui's optimism and vision for the future made He Daqing rethink his life. One day, Li Hui encouraged him and said, "Daqing, everyone has their own path. You should find what you really want instead of relying on your family's wealth."

After hearing this, He Daqing fell into deep thought. He began to realize that he had always been escaping from reality, relying on his parents' protection and living without being truly independent. He decided to make some changes and start planning his future.

However, change is not easy. He Daqing's father was very dissatisfied with his decision, thinking that he was bewitched by an ordinary girl and no longer cared about the family business. The conflict between father and son intensified, and the family atmosphere became tense and indifferent. The mother was in a dilemma, wanting her son to be happy, but she didn't want to see the dispute between her husband and son.

Faced with such difficulties, He Daqing did not back down. Together with Li Hui, he began to try to start a business. Although the process was difficult, he felt that he had finally found the meaning of life. They chose a path that was not easy to take, but every step was full of challenges and hope.
