Hong Kong is in full swing

"No matter what your purpose is in saying these things, you'd better remember this: no conspiracy or fratricide will be tolerated within our Qiao family! If I hear anyone spreading similar rumors and slandering my family again in the future..."

The old man's eyes burned with a terrifying light like a blazing fire: "Don't blame me for being rude when the time comes!"

As parents, we naturally have an unshakable say when it comes to our children’s wrong behavior.

Especially in a large family like theirs that still maintains the ancient and strict patriarchal system, the words of the elders absolutely have the final say.

The scene suddenly fell into an indescribable awkward silence.

A person of such age is actually being criticized and educated by his father at this time.

This caused Qiao Wanting, who usually had a stubborn personality, to feel a surge of bitter emotions in her heart. The feeling of extreme grievance instantly made tears well up in her eyes involuntarily.

Feeling she couldn't stay in this room any longer, Qiao Wanting's face turned red with embarrassment and anger. She turned around abruptly, ready to leave this depressing place immediately.

Qiao Peifeng still had some important things to discuss with her and didn't want to let the only opportunity for communication be cut off at this moment.

He coughed lightly and said to her in a calmer, even slightly apologetic tone, "Dad might have been a little harsh just now. Don't take it too seriously."

Human psychology is always complex and changeable.

Even though Qiao Wanting knew very well that her father had never particularly doted on her since she was a child, when faced with the rare care shown by Qiao Peifeng, she couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that this time her father would really start to care about her and understand her, and even hoping to get the long-lost fatherly love and support.

Emotions took over at this moment, and the resentment that had accumulated before seemed to dissipate a lot with the tears.

For a moment, Qiao Wanting completely forgot the vicious wish she had made silently in her heart, hoping to leave the world as soon as possible.

She stopped and stood at the side of the ward, wiping her tears quietly, her heart filled with complicated emotions.

After a while, when her emotions had calmed down a bit, Qiao Wanting sighed softly and said with a hint of helplessness and self-mockery, "Forget it, I'm used to it. Hasn't it been like this since I was a child? The only time I can't even speak is when he mentions Qiao Heng."

Hearing this, Qiao Peifeng's expression became even more serious.

Although he can make appropriate compromises, this does not mean that he can tolerate others easily exposing certain conflicts in the family.

However, Qiao Peifeng now knows that he must control his temper to avoid making the situation worse.

He tried to soften his stance again, patiently explaining to his daughter, "Can you try to understand and accept Daddy's current situation? After all, Daddy is really old and can't handle too much stress or arguments anymore."

He then tried to reconcile the increasingly tense relationship between the two sisters: "After all, we are a family. We shouldn't be targeting each other like this. Wouldn't it be better if everyone could get along in harmony? I also know that you have felt a lot of unfair treatment when you were growing up, especially the previous incident with the general manager position that made you very sad. But what I want to say is, please believe that what I said is not my true intention."

"You are my father's first daughter, and you will always have special meaning to me. From childhood to adulthood, every bit of your growth has been deeply engraved in my heart. You are like the brightest star, lighting up the entire Qiao family's sky."

"The Qiao family is in urgent need of personnel. I hope you can work together to fight against external enemies. No matter who is threatening us from outside, as long as we unite, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome. The future of the Qiao family depends on the contributions and efforts of every member."

"Father is old, and the successor needs to be decided. It's either Qiao Heng or you, so you must show the breadth of mind that an heir should have. As the future helmsman, you must not only have wisdom and courage, but more importantly, a broad mind. I believe you can do it."

This series of words made Qiao Wanting a little confused.

It seemed that at this moment, the father's love that had been missing for many years surged like a tide, wrapping her tightly.

The long-lost warmth deep in her heart gradually revived, melting the glacier in her heart.

It seemed that Qiao Peifeng was partial to her over the years simply because he was not good at expressing himself.

That seemingly shallow but deep emotion seems extremely precious at this moment.

However, the kindness of the wicked is always poisonous. Qiao Peifeng's fatherly love with ulterior motives is nothing but arsenic coated with honey, and a fatal crisis is hidden in the sweetness.

"I am also a member of the Qiao family. Of course I will not stand idly by when something happens to the Qiao family."

Qiao Wanting said, "Isn't it just that they're being targeted in Pengcheng? Zhong Xinyuan shouldn't be able to intervene in Yangcheng, right? Her power is limited, so she's nothing to be afraid of."

"I can ask the Luo family for help."

This is not a difficult task. The Luo family's influence in the local area can provide strong support to the Qiao family.

Qiao Peifeng held her hand: "Wan Ting, it's up to you."

His words were full of trust and expectation, as if at this moment he had already seen the bright future of the Qiao Group.

Two days later, with the help of the Luo family, Qiao Peifeng began to develop the Guangzhou market.

As a result, Qiao Wanting's status in Qiao's company continued to rise, and the employees in the company began to look at her differently. Every decision she made seemed crucial.

According to some subtle signs from Qiao Peifeng, there seems to be a trend of passing the throne to Qiao Wanting.

This made Qiao Heng uneasy. He thought his position, which was as stable as a rock, was actually shaken.

That same day he went to Hong Kong to find Wei Rongsong, hoping to use his 1% stake in Qiao's company to gain his help in consolidating his position as general manager of Qiao's company.

In the end, he didn't even get to meet her in person, as he was rejected by Wei Rongsong's casual words.

"I'm still recuperating. If you have any questions, just go to Yu Wan. She will speak for me."

Qiao Heng had no choice but to go find Yu Wan. Yu Wan sighed after hearing what he said. She knew that the situation of the Qiao family had become complicated and all forces were competing secretly.

"Third brother, Young Master Wei's meaning is very clear. He is just an investor and does not want to be involved in the fight between your Qiao family."

Qiao Heng was anxious, sweat beading on his forehead. "But if Qiao Wanting becomes the general manager, with her methods, the Qiao family will be ruined sooner or later. How will Young Master Wei make a lucrative profit from us then?"

The corners of Yu Wan's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint sarcastic smile, but she did not refute out loud, just listened to Qiao Heng's words silently.
