We have severed our relationship, so who will still pamper you?
Chapter 166: Own strength, more confident
Six minutes later, Cheng's father was furious, "Why is he doing these things behind my back instead of studying hard?!"
Mother Cheng was speechless.
Neither side spoke, but after all, they had lived half their lives, so how could they not understand the real purpose of Cheng Fenghao's actions.
There can only be one heir to the Cheng family from beginning to end.
The appearance of Cheng Ye threatened Cheng Fenghao's position.
So there is no doubt that Cheng Fenghao wanted to do this in order to prevent future troubles.
Father Cheng's face was gloomy. "You don't do your job properly every day. You just do these shameful things."
Mother Cheng didn't say anything. She didn't know how to deal with the current problem.
"Do the three daughters know about this?" Father Cheng suddenly asked, remembering the key point.
Mother Cheng was listless, "I didn't ask. Maybe you know. You know Xiyan's personality. How are you going to deal with it?"
Father Cheng suddenly felt strange, "Did Xiyan find all this evidence?"
Mother Cheng couldn't help but frown. She also felt strange. "I don't know. I didn't ask her. But it stands to reason that Feng Hao's actions wouldn't be so easily discovered by Xi Yan."
"But these evidences are too clear."
Father Cheng was very angry, "Feng Hao will get into big trouble sooner or later."
Mother Cheng was overwhelmed with emotions. "So what are you going to do?"
"What else can we do?" Father Cheng said in a cold tone, "Of course, we should put Guan Fenghao in solitary confinement."
Mother Cheng wanted to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by Father Cheng, "The eldest daughter has been the president of Cheng Group for several years. She is very dedicated to the Cheng family."
"My second daughter is a well-known lawyer. If the group is involved in a lawsuit in the future, she will be able to contribute to the company."
"My third daughter is an outstanding doctor. She will also be able to make her own contribution to the company in the medical field in the future."
"Tell me, what is Feng Hao's role?"
Mother Cheng's heart tightened instantly, as Father Cheng's words seemed to have a hidden meaning.
"Feng Hao is only in his third year of high school. Isn't it a bit too early to compare him with the three daughters?"
Hearing this, Cheng's father looked cold and said, "It's too late. He is an adult now and should be responsible for his actions. He should be studying now, but he spends all day thinking about how to use shameful means to deal with Xiaoye."
"It seems that he has been favored by the Cheng family for these years and has forgotten his identity and has not put himself in the right position."
Thinking of this, Father Cheng felt very regretful, "Compared to Xiaoye, Fenghao is really far behind. He is not a biological child, so his abilities in all aspects are not as good as those of his own blood."
Father Cheng thought for a while and said, "Well, don't mention this matter to anyone. Feng Hao is no longer qualified to inherit the position of the Cheng family's heir."
"What?!" Mother Cheng was horrified. She stood up from the bed and widened her eyes in disbelief. "Are you kidding? Feng Hao is the only son of the Cheng family. If he doesn't inherit, who will?"
Father Cheng frowned, "Are you crazy? Don't we still have Xiaoye? Fenghao is just an adopted son, he is incompetent and disobedient, always causing troubles every day. If you make him the heir, sooner or later the Cheng Group will be ruined."
When Cheng Ye was mentioned, Cheng's mother was particularly worried, "How long has Xiao Ye been away from the Cheng family? Has he ever looked at us straight in the eye? Feng Hao still calls me mom, but will Xiao Ye call me that?!"
Cheng's mother had some complaints in her heart.
Her own son never acknowledges her as his biological mother.
Father Cheng looked grim, "I know this. But Feng Hao will never be able to inherit the position of the future successor of the Cheng Group."
"We can't let him squander the business we worked so hard for. He doesn't have the ability to take it over. He only uses dirty tricks to achieve his goals, but never improves himself."
"Not being smart enough is not his biggest shortcoming. His biggest shortcoming is that, even though he is not smart enough, he still doesn't think down to earth and always dreams of taking shortcuts."
When Cheng's mother heard this, she suddenly had a headache, "But Xiaoye refuses to return to the Cheng family. Wouldn't it be too impulsive for us to give up Fenghao just like that?"
Father Cheng said in an unyielding tone, "I think you are really confused. We have three biological daughters, and whoever is more capable will inherit. It is always easier to be assured of your own child. In the future, let the daughter who inherits find an obedient son-in-law, and then give birth to a son to take over. The Cheng Group will still be firmly in our hands."
Father Cheng began to plan the future. No matter what, the company could not be inherited by a man from another family.
Therefore, the son-in-law must sign a prenuptial agreement with the Cheng family. If he is obedient, he will have no worries about food and clothing.
If she disobeys and cheats on her husband, she will be kicked out of the house and will not get custody of her son.
A son-in-law can at most have no worries about food and clothing, but it is wishful thinking for him to interfere in the internal management of the company. If the situation is serious, the worst that can happen is that the father will be killed and the son will be kept.
In short, the Cheng family has plenty of ways to make the son-in-law disappear from this world.
As long as the son born stays in the Cheng family, it will be fine.
"Besides, it's still unknown whether Xiaoye will come back. If he comes back in the future, he will inherit the business. His outstanding achievements in recent times, his popularity on the Internet, and the company he founded, which replaced Xingyao Entertainment as the top entertainment company in the country, are enough to prove his ability."
Father Cheng thought it through. "No matter what Feng Hao is, he is just an adopted son. He doesn't have any real strength now, so I don't need to consider him."
"Whether it's Xiaoye or the three daughters, it's not his turn to be the heir."
After listening to what Cheng's father said, Cheng's mother did not feel any resistance to his actions.
The series of things Feng Hao had done in recent times did make her a little disappointed.
But she was conflicted and couldn't help but worry, "What about Feng Hao?"
Father Cheng frowned. When he mentioned Cheng Fenghao, he was very disappointed. "The Cheng family trained him for eighteen years, but we are so disappointed. If he is obedient, he will have no problem with food, clothing, shelter and transportation."
"If he continues to disobey, we will have no choice but to kick him out of the Cheng family. We still have three daughters anyway."
Mother Cheng was stunned. "What if the three of them want freedom of love and don't want to marry into the family?"
"Besides, their future romantic partners may not necessarily be willing to marry into the Cheng family. For example, our second daughter Zhirou, for example, currently likes Xie Zeyu."
"If the two of them end up together, there will be a practical problem. Xie Zeyu is the second son of the mayor of Beijing. The mayor's status is basically the same as that of the Cheng family. How could he be willing to marry into the Cheng family?"
Father Cheng frowned tightly, "That's right. Xie Zeyu can't marry into the Cheng family. Unless the Xie family is much more powerful than the Cheng family, otherwise, if the son born in the future follows the Xie family surname, it will be a bit disadvantageous."
He could accept the Cheng family relying on a more powerful family, but not if it was just a weaker or equally powerful family.
When it comes to not retaining the Cheng family surname, Cheng's father is absolutely not happy about it.
If the Cheng and Chu families successfully marry, both sides will definitely want two children, one with the Cheng family surname and the other with the Chu family surname.
This is fair to both parties. There will be no conflicts of interest between the two children as heirs, and in the future, they can rely on the bond of blood ties to support each other's development.
However, under the current circumstances, although marriage is possible, it is extremely difficult.
Feng Hao had problems in that aspect, so he became a eunuch and also offended Chu Xiyan, which was totally inconsistent with the Chu family's requirements.
Xiao Ye refused to return to the Cheng family. He already had a girlfriend, Jiang Mian, and he didn't like Chu Xiyan. The possibility of a future marriage with the Chu family was extremely low.
Even if we take a step back and assume that the Cheng and Chu families do not marry, Feng Hao inherits the Cheng Group and marries a daughter of another small family or a girl of ordinary background.
It's not impossible. Although it won't help the Cheng family advance to a higher level, the children born in the future can still inherit the Cheng family company.
But this situation has a basic premise. Before the child is born to inherit the Cheng family company, Feng Hao needs to be able to make the Cheng Group develop well, rather than stagnate or even regress and go bankrupt.
Otherwise, the Cheng Group’s status would go downhill before it could be inherited by future children.
This is the result that Cheng's father does not want to see.
Obviously, the strength Feng Hao has currently demonstrated makes Cheng's father pessimistic.
In addition, since Feng Hao has become a eunuch, it remains to be seen whether he can have his own children.
After thinking about it, the problem comes back to the original plan.
First of all, it is impossible for Feng Hao to inherit the Cheng Group.
The next in line for succession, besides Xiaoye, are the three daughters.
Furthermore, as parents, they cannot force their three daughters to marry a son-in-law. Whether to do so requires them to discuss it with them many times.
Finally, it was concluded that letting Xiaoye inherit the company was the best and most convenient choice.
In the past, Cheng's father would stubbornly hope that Xiaoye and Xiyan would get married, but now, Xiaoye has started his own company and can replace Xingyao Entertainment's leading position on his own.
The original purpose of wanting to form an alliance was simply to promote the development of the Cheng family to a higher level.
There are exceptions to everything.
If the heir's ability reaches a certain level, he can greatly promote the development of the group without relying on marriage.
Father Cheng thought, why should he want Xiaoye and Xiyan to consolidate the power of the Cheng family through marriage?
If one's strength allows, whether or not to marry becomes unimportant.
Father Cheng is optimistic about whether Xiaoye can lead the Cheng family well.
Given Xiaoye's personality, it is impossible for her to agree to the marriage between the Cheng and Chu families.
Cheng's father suddenly understood. "I have considered many factors and I think it is safest to let Xiaoye inherit the Cheng Group."
"You see, we can't restrict the three daughters' freedom of love and reproduction. If they marry into a family of equal power, they may not want to have two children and keep the Cheng family name. They may not like weak men, and even if they like them, the men may not want to marry into the Cheng family. Not every man wants to become a son-in-law of a wealthy family for the sake of wealth and glory. And so on, various factors may exist."
"Feng Hao is incompetent and a useless eunuch, so he can't rely on his own flesh and blood to inherit the company."
"Then only Xiaoye is left." Father Cheng came to the final conclusion.
Mother Cheng was stunned, "But Xiaoye will not agree to the marriage with Xiyan."
"It's not important! This is not important!" Father Cheng has figured it out now. "We wanted to form an alliance before because we thought that the marriage between the two families would maximize the integration of resources, thereby promoting the development of the Cheng family and consolidating the power of the Cheng family."
"But Xiaoye doesn't need it! He is very capable and can consolidate the power of the Cheng family without marriage!"
"The weakest point of the Cheng Group is the entertainment industry, and Xiaoye's company is the top entertainment company in the country! If it is merged into a subsidiary of the Cheng Group, it will just be able to make up for the shortcomings."
"When Xiaoye inherits the company, our Cheng family will no longer be on par with the Chu family, but will rise to become the second largest of the three largest families in Beijing."
"Jiang Mian's orphanage background is indeed too ordinary, but it doesn't have much of an impact. Xiao Ye can talk if he wants to. There's no need for us to interfere in his feelings."
"The second largest family is just a prediction based on the current situation. Xiaoye is 18 years old and has a bright future. The Cheng family is likely to have better development."
Father Cheng sighed, "As expected, they are strong on their own. Why do they need to rely on family alliances? If they marry into the Chu family, they will still be restricted by the Chu family in the future. If they don't marry, they can rely on their own abilities, which will give them more freedom and they won't have to worry about the Chu family's attitude. In the future, when it comes to cooperation, our Cheng family will also be more confident."
Mother Cheng nodded in agreement. "Yes, if we can become the second largest family in Beijing independently, why should we be tied to the Chu family through marriage and be ranked second with them?! Isn't it better for us to be second and they to be relegated to third?"
Father Cheng's tone became lighter. "Yes, that's what I meant."
"So I won't interfere with Xiaoye's marriage. If he wants to be with Jiang Mian, then he can be with Jiang Mian."
Father Cheng said, "It would be best if he could return to the Cheng family to inherit the company. If not, it would be possible for the three daughters to inherit the company, but it would be more troublesome."
After hearing this, Cheng's mother knew that no matter what the possibility was, Cheng's father would not consider Feng Hao.
She had no choice. As the wife of the Cheng family, it was impossible for her not to consider the vital interests of the Cheng family.
Father Cheng said in a serious tone, "Don't mention this to Feng Hao. Otherwise, he will feel unbalanced and continue to act like a demon. He can stay in the Cheng family only because of your company for 18 years, otherwise he would have been kicked out long ago. In the future, at most, he will have no worries about food and drink, and be a young master who eats, drinks and has fun."
"But if he is not satisfied with eating, drinking and having fun, and also covets the position of heir to the Cheng family, then he will have to leave the Cheng family. We have three daughters, and it doesn't matter if he is the one who inherits the company. Even if it is a little troublesome for his daughters to inherit the company, there will still be someone to inherit the company."
"Well, I know the seriousness of the matter." Mother Cheng asked anxiously, "What about these evidences? You said that he would be put in solitary confinement. Does that mean we have to warn Feng Hao? And will Xiao Ye be in danger?"
Father Cheng didn't want to waste time on Feng Hao. "Xi Yan should send the evidence to Xiao Ye. Xiao Ye will be more vigilant, and Xi Yan will also help."
"Besides..." Father Cheng suddenly realized the important point, "If Xiyan sent evidence to her three daughters, Shiyan would have taken the initiative to warn Fenghao without our warning."
Mother Cheng sighed, "So, Feng Hao can't avoid being questioned and scolded. If his grades improve and his eunuch disease is cured successfully, will you still consider him as the heir of the Cheng family?"
Hearing this, Father Cheng snorted coldly, "He has brought this upon himself. He deserves to be questioned and scolded. Him? Dreaming of becoming the heir? I've figured it out. My three daughters all did very well in school. Even if his grades improve, he still won't have any advantage over them."
"As for the eunuch disease, what would it matter if it was cured? His lack of strength is a fatal flaw. If he is put in charge of the Cheng Group, I'm afraid it will bankrupt the Cheng Group."
Mother Cheng understood that the most fundamental problem was still the lack of strength.
If she were as strong as Xiaoye, Cheng's father would have forgotten about the marriage between the Cheng and Chu families.
However, Feng Hao is not Xiaoye after all.
"Wait, the evidence was provided by Xiyan, but we don't consider promoting her marriage with Xiaoye." Cheng's mother suddenly thought of an important question, "She provided the evidence, if we do this, will it..."
Father Cheng waved his hands impatiently, "The interests are the greatest, and the Cheng family can be second. Who wants to be second with the Chu family? If we don't say it clearly, how can she know our true thoughts?!"
"No, that's not right. I always feel something is wrong." Mother Cheng was worried. "If the evidence was not found by Xiyan, but someone sent it to her. Then the person who sent the evidence behind the scenes must be the biggest beneficiary. Could it be that Xiyan was used by this person?"
"After all, Xiyan likes Xiaoye and wants to marry Xiaoye, but because of these evidences, we have given up the idea of marrying with the Chu family. Don't you think it's strange?"
