Chapter 23 - 23 022 Senior perfumer Xie Shang

Chapter 23: 022: Senior perfumer Xie Shang Chapter 23: 022: Senior perfumer Xie Shang This room used to be Xie Qingze’s room, but now it’s been emptied, with only a memorial portrait left.

Xie Jingxian had one-fourth Western ancestry, his pupils had a golden-yellow color. In the generation of Xie Shang, only his pupils resembled Xie Jingxian to some degree.

“I knew you would come today,” Xie Jingxian, past his seventieth year, with gray hair, said in front of the memorial portrait, “You come every year on this day.”

Today was Xie Qingze’s birthday.

Xie Shang stepped forward, poured tea, lit incense, and bowed respectfully: “Grandfather, do you still remember how Uncle looked?”

Aside from this somewhat faded memorial portrait due to the passage of time, there were no other photos of Xie Qingze in the house, as he was not fond of taking pictures when he was alive.

“Ji Fu, one must look forward.”

That’s what Xie Jingxian advised, as did many others.

Xie Qingze had passed away seven years ago, and it seemed like only Xie Shang within the entire Xie Family had not let go, only he still remembered Wind Town of Flower City, and that girl from the Wen Family.

After leaving the room, Xie Shang did not linger and left straight away.

“Xie Shang,” Xie Liangjiang called out to him.

His mother, Madam Su, and grandmother, Madam Zhai, liked to call Xie Shang Xingxing, the old master called him Ji Fu, Aunt Wen and the driver Uncle Zhong called him Fourth Brother, his second uncle called him Xiao Shang, while Xie Liangjiang liked to call him by his full name.

If it weren’t for the fear of being cursed for being unfilial, Xie Shang would have liked to call Xie Liangjiang by his full name as well.

Actually, there wasn’t any deep hatred between father and son, it was just that they were incompatible in their magnetic fields, beliefs, and ways of handling things—in every possible way. Xie Shang used to be left-handed, and Xie Liangjiang insisted on him changing that. Fine, he switched to using his right hand, but then he couldn’t use chopsticks properly.

“You’re not so young anymore, it’s time to do some serious work,” said Xie Liangjiang, seated upright, his gaze looking up didn’t diminish his composure as a superior.

Xie Shang was sufficiently polite: “What do you mean?”

“Come to the law firm and help me.”

Running a pawnshop wasn’t serious, being a perfumer wasn’t serious, only the career of Xie Liangjiang was considered serious.

Xie Shang reminded him kindly, “Father, if I were to go to the law firm, you would have to retire.”

Xie Liangjiang fell silent.
