"Pfft..." Mr. Zhan spat out a mouthful of tea, "You...what did you say?"
"You've been staring at me. It's impossible that you don't know that I have a son, right?" Zhan Jingting asked.
"If you are talking about the son you had with Wen Xue of the Wen family, I naturally know that when the Wen family held a dinner, the invitation was sent to me, but I did not attend." Mr. Zhan said disdainfully, "Wen
My family wants me to come forward and support this child. Maybe they will let me make the decision on the spot and let him recognize his ancestor and return to his family. It is a beautiful idea! If you are already married, then this child is an illegitimate child. You have not recognized this child.
How could I interfere."
Zhan Jingting said calmly, "If the child was born to Wen Xue, I would naturally look down on it, but this child was not born to Wen Xue, but to my wife."
"How is that possible?" Mr. Zhan frowned, "You have only been married for a short time, how could you possibly give birth to a four-year-old son?"
"It's a long story, but it's the fact. If you don't believe it, you can ask a doctor to do a paternity test."
Mr. Zhan was stunned for a moment, and finally came to his senses, "You have said so, so of course I believe it. But Jing Ting, this child is only four years old. You just said that you would make him the new heir of the Zhan family.
Isn’t this a fantasy?”
"Although the Zhan family is a huge family, all the Zhan family members know that our family is the core of the Zhan family. From my grandfather to my father to me, the position of the person in charge has been inherited. Now I naturally want to
Pass it on to my son." Zhan Jingting tapped his fingertips on the armrest of the sofa, "I remember that when I let you side supporters have a small share of the Zhan Group, I was worried that the leader of our Zhan family would suddenly pass away at the age of thirty, leaving the whole group without a leader.
, for the prosperity of the entire family, I let you take advantage of it."
"It's a pity that people can't help but swallow the elephant. This has led to some people being ungrateful. It's not enough to hold a few shares, but they also want to take away the position of the person in power. Don't say I have a son today. Even if I don't, it won't be my turn."
Someone else will take this seat."
Mr. Zhan choked for a moment and said immediately, "Jing Ting, even if you say that, the child is only four years old after all, and he is still watching cartoons. How can he be the heir?"
"Am I not dead yet?" Zhan Jingting raised his lips, but the smile did not reach his eyes, "Even if I die at the age of thirty, I still have six years to cultivate him."
"But he will only be ten years old by then! It will be difficult for him to take on such a big responsibility!"
"I will train Zhan Yin, and Zhan Yin will temporarily serve as the person in charge until my son reaches adulthood."
Mr. Zhan: "..."
"Zhan Yin is playful, but he's not this material. If you really think about the Zhan family, you can choose someone else."
"Who?" Zhan Jingting raised his eyebrows, "Zhan Xiuwen?"
Mr. Zhan coughed lightly and said, "Jing Ting, I know that you have never forgiven Xiu Wen for what happened back then, but looking at the entire Zhan family, he is indeed the most capable person who can shoulder the heavy burden."
Zhan Jingting supported his head with one hand and pressed his temples lightly with his knuckles, "I said, for the sake of the prosperity of the entire family, I give you a little sweetness. Guess, if I want to take back all the shares in the branch, how can you use me?"
how is it?"
"Jing Ting, what do you mean?" Mr. Zhan frowned, "I came today just to discuss with you how to protect the Zhan family's century-old foundation. I'm worried that your condition is getting worse and I want you to
Set aside the past feud with Xiuwen and let him share the burden for you, but now you are directly threatening me."
"I'm just threatening you." Zhan Jingting looked at him with cold eyes, "My mother said back then that you can let Zhan Xiuwen go, but he will never return to the imperial capital in his life. Now you let Zhan Xiuwen come back.
, aren’t you just slapping my mother in the face?”
Ruan Wanyi was startled, and immediately tears burst out uncontrollably.
Her son is actually protecting her!
Mr. Zhan thought about it for a moment and said, "Back then, Wanyi was really rich and promised to let Xiuwen go, but hasn't your leg healed now? I think we, as men, should be more generous and consider the overall situation in everything.
"
"You don't need to kidnap me morally." Zhan Jingting said coldly, "I am about to die. The overall situation is not as important to me as my mother's feelings."
Old Zhan showed displeasure, "Jing Ting, what's wrong with you today? You have such a bad attitude that you dare to call me 'you' without using honorifics? Don't forget, when you became the person in power
, you are only eighteen years old, I have helped you settle many things within the Zhan family."
"But I haven't treated you badly for so many years." Zhan Jingting looked indifferent, "otherwise, do you think your sons and grandsons who can't stand up to the wall can have such a smooth career?"
Mr. Zhan: "..."
"Jing Ting, please stop saying a few words." Ruan Wanyi was a little panicked, "Mr. Zhan is an elder after all, from your great-grandfather's generation..."
"Now we are considering the century-old foundation of the Zhan family, regardless of seniority." Zhan Jingting looked at Mr. Zhan with a half-smile, "Are you right?"
Mr. Zhan: "..."
"Jing Ting, you are so insignificant." Old Zhan held the crutch tightly with both hands, his face darkened, "I really didn't expect that one day you would talk to me like this, even if it's your grandfather and
Your father doesn’t even dare to talk to me like that.”
"They are them, and I am me." Zhan Jingting said disdainfully, "If you want to support Zhan Xiuwen, just try."
"You think I don't dare?" Mr. Zhan was so angry that his chest heaved, "Jing Ting, although you have been in power these years, without the help of other people in the Zhan family, would you have achieved what you have today?"
"Water can carry a boat or overturn it. The branches of the Zhan family have already penetrated to the root. Your attitude is obviously going to cause trouble."
"For the sake of your grandfather, let me tell you straight. Although Xiuwen has been abroad these years, he has never been idle. He knows that you have a cold and arrogant personality, so he has seized on this and secretly followed you.
The rest of the Zhan family have formed an alliance. I came here today because of other people's request. Jing Ting, Xiuwen's status in the Zhan family is no lower than that of you, the powerful person. He wants to return to the imperial capital, and you can't stop him."
"Do you think I don't know what he has done over the years?" Zhan Jingting sneered, "I kept him alive until now just to see what he wanted to do."
"Do you think he united with other members of the Zhan family to put pressure on me just to get a share of the imperial capital? Or to assist me and share the burden for me? Then you are too naive. His ambition is greater than anyone else in the Zhan family. I guess
He can't even wait for me to be thirty. If he sees me standing up this time and finds a reason to come back, he will definitely attack me again."
Old Zhan thought for a moment and said, "From a certain perspective, the people in charge of the Zhan family do need someone to restrain and balance them."
Zhan Jingting was very interested, "So you want to use Zhan Xiuwen to check and balance me?"
