After that, he couldn’t help but cry again. Didn’t he want to have a normal family? Every holiday, this man seldom had a chance to accompany him. He even secretly saw him several times. This man was accompanied by the annoying Qi Wenyu. He didn’t know how much he missed him.

Just like today’s New Year’s Eve, he never had the experience of the times of staying up with his father even once. When he was a child, he cried and fell asleep every New Year’s Eve, so he loved acting coquetry toward Qi Sheng especially, and was afraid that one day he would not even have a father.

All right, Qi Sheng was really distressed by his son’s aggrieved little eyes. He thought for a moment and said, “Xiao Feng, Dad knows the truth. In fact, you know it in your heart, but you are unwilling, and you don’t want to say much about those things to Dad.”

Looking at his son pouting and staring at him, he still looked very cute: “Look, every tree has only one trunk. Even if the branches are flourishing, they cannot affect the growth direction of the trunk, otherwise it will easily grow into a crooked tree. The Qi family is like that tree. If the trunk cannot be clearly defined, then it will slowly decline. The Qi family is your grandfather’s lifetime of hard work. He naturally needs to be careful. After he determined the future trunk, he naturally needs to be more careful with the trunk.”

Qi Wenfeng also knew this truth, and couldn’t help interrupting his father’s words: “Now, that guy is not grandpa’s close grandson. Does grandpa still insist on letting him inherit the Qi family?”

Qi Sheng smiled, he didn’t worry. He continued, “The Qi family is your grandfather’s life’s work. If there’s no accident, this old man would naturally expect his grandson to inherit it. It was Wenyu before and Wenyan now.”

Although the facts were cruel, Qi Sheng still intended to point out: “Wenyan has suffered a lot over the years, which was also my fault. If I had been with their mother and son when Wenyan was born, they wouldn’t have been taken advantage of, leaving Wenyan stranded. So, in the future, either I or the old man would be bias toward Wenyan.”

Looking at his younger son’s obvious sadness, Qi Sheng hurriedly said, “but you are after all the one I grew up watching. Over the years, I have more care for you than Wenyu. Xiao Feng, Dad wants you to know that even if the Qi family has Wenyan in the future, Dad will definitely not mistreat you …”

Qi Wenfeng was unwilling and interrupted Qi Sheng: “Do you mean that I am not qualified to inherit the Qi family at all? What if Qi Wenyan doesn’t have the ability? I just have watch him ruin the Qi family, just to make up for the suffering he has suffered over the years? Besides that, am I not qualified to inherit the Qi family?”

Qi Sheng was not angered by his son’s attitude and continued: “Wenyan has the old man and the Bai family to look after him. If he still couldn’t bear the responsibility of the Qi family in the future, your grandfather wouldn’t completely hand over the Qi family to him. As for others, it maybe you or Wenyu, provided that you are better than Wenyan and have the ability to bear the responsibility of the Qi family. Otherwise, he would rather hand over the Qi family to Wenyu.”

Looking at his son’s eyes instantly widened, Qi Sheng had to remind him: “Son, the Qi family is your grandfather’s hard work. He cares more about the future development of the Qi group than anyone else. It’s one thing to compensate for Wenyan, but he would never watch the Qi group get destroy by his hands.”

Looking straight at Qi Wenfeng who was looking at him, Qi Sheng continued: “So, if you really want to earn the inheritance rights of the Qi family; Then from now on, try to improve your strength like your brother Wenyu. Don’t people say that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared?”

However, Qi Sheng poured some cold water at the right time: “But son, dad has to remind you that being in charge of the Qi family does not only mean that you have the right to squander the Qi family’s property, but also that you have to shoulder the responsibilities of the Qi family, sacrifice your personal time, and put all your energy into the development of the company like your grandfather.”

Looking at his son thoughtfully, Qi Sheng smiled and said: “If you look at your Dad, me, I don’t have the heart to take on the Qi family. Otherwise, your grandfather, at that age would have already retired, enjoying old age behind the scenes. So, son, you have to understand first whether what you want is what you actually want. Just in case you wouldn’t get anything in the end!”

Qi Wenfeng grunted twice: “After all that, what you mean is that as long as Qi Wenyan isn’t too useless, the Qi family would have nothing to do with me. Saying that grandpa took great pains. Aren’t you trying to scare me and make me walk away from the struggle? No wonder you suddenly sent me a violin today. It was originally intended to train me in the direction of music. You don’t want me to fight for the Qi’s inheritance!”

Qi Sheng knocked his son twice on the forehead with a chopstick handle. “No matter how big or small, he is your brother. If you really want to develop as Qi’s successor, Dad wouldn’t stop you. But you are not allowed to use despicable means. Otherwise, not only will your grandfather disqualify you, but Dad would also pack you up! Your grandfather has already said that he will take you back to the Qi family after a period of time. What about that… are you unhappy?”

Rubbing his hurt head, Qi Wenfeng was surprised and happy. He couldn’t help but ask, “really? Grandpa really agreed to take me back to the Qi’s? What about Mom?”

Qi Sheng couldn’t help frowning at the thought of Zhou Yan: “Son, to tell you the truth, your mother think’s too much, and she is too preoccupied with what shouldn’t belong to her. Dad doesn’t want you to live with her all the time. Over the years I have given her enough money to feed and clothe her, but no matter how much, it won’t satisfy her.”

Qi Wenfeng was somewhat disappointed. He bowed his head and began to eat silently. Qi Sheng didn’t say much. He had said a lot today. He hopes the child would know how to choose. He is still watching right now and would never let them encounter accidents.

After the meal, the child stuck to him for a while before he went home. Qi Sheng looked at the time and saw that it was already 4 o’clock in the evening. If he goes back now, the old man would definitely give him a dirty look.

A little over 5 o’clock he came back to the Qi’s house, only the old man was sitting in the room. He saw him come back, he mercilessly stared at him, but he also didn’t scold as usual. It seems that he was accustomed to Qi Sheng’s behavior.

Qi Sheng had the cheek to sit next to the old man, picked up the red fruit from the fruit plate and ate it one by one. It successfully provoked the old man’s eyes and made Qi Sheng want to smile, but he didn’t smile.

“Yeah, Dad. I just went to Xiao Feng’s place to visit, and also warned Zhou Yan while I was there.”

The old man was satisfied with what he said, but warned him: “The Qi family is now in a mess. Don’t let some shady people find means to destroy it. If this happens again, see how I deal with you!”

Qi Sheng responded to the old man’s words: “Okay, okay. You can rest assure that I have people watching them.”
