Da Zhong opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Jincheng with a half-smile: "You see, this is the problem. You need Mingyang, but only to have him take over your family fortune. What does it have to do with his wife? Besides, what makes that crazy woman Lilith better than Yuqing? It's really not a worthwhile deal to create a rift between you and Mingyang for that selfish and foolish woman."

"Lin Yuqing is indeed a good woman, but she is too kind. The people she has raised are simply not suited to survive in this family. Look at Xuan'er, if I hadn't brought him to England to raise him personally, he would be no different from an ordinary little boy. How could he possibly shoulder the heavy responsibility of inheriting the family business?"

“Environment shapes a person. Don’t let Yuqing’s gentle and weak appearance fool you. When faced with unexpected difficulties, she is no weaker than anyone else. I think you have underestimated Yuqing’s strength.”

Looking at the clock with a meaningful gaze, Xiao Jincheng suddenly changed his tone and asked, "Didn't you say you wouldn't help Xiao Mingyang anymore? Why are you always on his side?"

"I just want to persuade you to let me out! What you're worried about right now is not having a suitable person to assist you. If Mingyang can come back to your side, then everything will be solved, and I won't be a problem anymore. To be honest, instead of worrying about this and that, it's better to repair your relationship with Mingyang."

"Even if you have your eye on Xuan'er, he is still Xiao Mingyang's son. They are the true family. After you pass away, how will you manage the three of them? So, please don't be stubborn. Descendants have their own blessings. Let them be. No matter what they do, I am certain of one thing: the Xiao family will definitely prosper even more in their hands."

Xiao Jincheng looked hesitant and said, "Let me think about it some more."

"I need to think about it, and I hope you can decide quickly. If I don't get some fresh air soon, I might really die!"

Da Zhong spoke in an exaggerated manner, as if he were truly on the verge of death. But after Xiao Jincheng left the room, Da Zhong could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, trembling all over.

Spitting hard, Da Zhong cursed in a low voice, "You old bastard, you actually mixed two kinds of drugs for me to take! When I get out of here, I'll definitely make you pay!"

Meanwhile, Xiao Jincheng coughed violently as soon as he stepped out the door. His bruised face turned a suspicious red, as if he had a lump in his throat that he couldn't expel.

Xiao Jincheng's attendants were terrified and tried to open the door to let Da Zhong out to take a look, but Xiao Jincheng held them tightly.

Looking at Xiao Jincheng with concern, the attendant said with a bitter face, "Master, this coughing can't go on. Let Da Zhong take a look at you."

After closing his eyes and calming down, Xiao Jincheng coughed less frequently before saying, "Da Zhong is already smug about his medical skills in front of me. If I let him gain the upper hand again, it will be difficult to subdue him."

The attendant had been following Xiao Jincheng, so he had heard what was just said. He thought Xiao Jincheng was moved by Da Zhong's words, but he didn't expect that Xiao Jincheng still had the intention of persuading Da Zhong.

After a moment of contemplation, the attendant said, "Master, I think what Da Zhong said makes sense. No matter how smart Young Master Xuan'er is, it will take time to cultivate him. And you need to rest now. Since Lilith's accident, your health, which you finally managed to recover from, is deteriorating day by day. You really can't overwork yourself anymore."

Xiao Jincheng knew what his attendant was saying. But for the sake of his family, he was willing to sacrifice his life. Moreover, the more Xiao Jincheng understood about Da Zhong, the more he admired the young man, and the harder it was for him to let go of him.

Taking a deep breath, Xiao Jincheng's eyes darkened, revealing a resolute determination. His voice was hoarse as he said, "Mingyang and his son, I will keep them! And this bell, I will keep it too! As long as I can win this man's heart, he will be devoted to me. With him assisting the Xiao family, it will be of great benefit!"

Xiao Jincheng rarely praised anyone, which made his attendant feel a deep sense of crisis. He said, "But this person's heart is made of iron. You treat him so well, but he is not moved at all. He is not worth all your efforts!"

Xiao Jincheng's expression changed slightly, and he lowered his voice, shouting, "What I do is none of your business!"

Upon hearing this, the attendant turned pale, quickly lowered his head, and dared not breathe, saying, "Yes, I have overstepped my bounds."

……

Ever since Xiao Jincheng made Xuan'er report to the company every day, the elders of Xiao's Enterprises have been restless. After exchanging information, they joined forces to put pressure on Xiao Jincheng, demanding that he come out and give an explanation.

Xiao Jincheng had long anticipated that his old buddies would pull this stunt, so when he received the call, he was still able to calmly arrange the time and place, and then take Xuan'er to this trap.

Xuan'er had seen his share of storms with Xiao Jincheng, but when he entered the conference room, he couldn't help but shrink back. Looking at the elderly men inside, he was chilled by their piercing gazes.

This was the first time Xuan'er realized that not all old men are kind; some people don't become calm and peaceful with age and experience.

Ali, who was sitting by the door, was the first to spot the two figures. From the moment Xuan'er entered, he glared at him fiercely with a stern face and snorted, "Xiao Jincheng, what do you mean by bringing a little brat here!"

Sitting calmly in the head seat, Xiao Jincheng said slowly and deliberately, "Xuan'er is my great-grandson, not some child. Please watch your words."

Ali pursed his lips, looking completely unconcerned, chuckled twice to the person next to him, and said, "Okay, so what's this kid's name again?"

"Hello Grandpa, my name is Xuan'er."

Before Xiao Jincheng could speak, Xuan'er had already spoken sweetly, appearing very polite.

Ali looked Xuan'er up and down and found that the child was really pleasing to the eye, with red lips and white teeth. When he grew up, he would definitely be a handsome man like Xiao Jincheng, who would make women fall in love with him.

As the saying goes, one shouldn't hit a smiling face. Xuan'er's politeness reduced Dali's anger by half. With a stern face, Dali looked him over and nodded, as if he had greeted the little guy.

Sitting next to Ali, Long You twirled a walnut in his hand, his eyes slightly closed, and snorted sarcastically, saying, "Hmph, you're still so happy after being insulted, you're really senile!"

Being mocked like that, Ali's temper flared up instantly, and he angrily shouted, "Who are you talking about?!"

"Of course it's you!" Long You opened his eyes, his gaze fierce, and said, "This kid calls Old Xiao 'Great-Grandpa,' but he calls you 'Grandpa.' So what are you then?"

This explanation made Ali's face turn red. His face, which had been all smiles just moments before, now looked at Xuan'er as if he wanted to chop her up with a knife.
