Chapter 167: Someone’s Still Sober
How could Sheng Yang’s grandparents not attend her coming-of-age party? Wouldn’t that be ridiculous?
The Sheng family was always the center of attention. As one of the most powerful families in this city, countless pairs of eyes were watching; the slightest turmoil in the family would cause a lot of rumors not to mention such an important matter!
Grandfather Sheng was sure that his son would consider the overall picture, so he had been waiting, but there was still no update. His originally calm heart turned irritable day by day and he quarreled with Grandmother Sheng all day long which made Grandmother Sheng really suffer.
Then the two received even more shocking news.
Instead of inviting the two of them, Sheng You and Kang Weizhen invited Grandma Liu…
Grandfather Sheng was furious. “Are they going to rebel? Are they just going to ignore me? I told them not to invite that old countrywoman, but they would rather invite her than me! Are they trying to make me a laughingstock? Huh?”
Grandfather Sheng went on a rampage and just wanted to rush out and beat his unfilial son to death with his crutches.
In the end, however, he was stopped by Grandmother Sheng. As a mother, she certainly didn’t want her eldest son to be beaten by his father.
“In the end, Kang Weizhen is to blame! I told you a long time ago that we should’ve kicked her back to her natal family after she gave birth to the children. Our little temple can’t accommodate a big Buddha like her!”
Grandfather Sheng didn’t take these words seriously in the past, but he was so pissed today that he started to seriously consider his wife’s words.
He had thought that Kang Weizhen and You’er’s management system was perfect. With one tough and the other tender, they complemented each other which definitely benefited the company.
But now, he suspected whether this was a trick of the Kang family to weaken the Sheng family’s century-old foundation silently.
“But you don’t have to be angry. Someone’s still sober in their family.”
Grandfather Sheng asked, “Who?”
“Tingze.”
Hearing that his eldest grandson hadn’t returned, Grandfather Sheng finally showed a hint of a smile.
Tingze is really a worthy grandson of mine. He’s a lot like me.
He always felt that his eldest grandson was as heavy-handed as him and he ran the branches under his management very well.
In terms of choosing his heir, it would be better to take away management power from his eldest son and give it to his eldest grandson.
Then Sheng You wouldn’t split Kangbao from the Sheng Corporation.
Although Kangbao was founded by his eldest son and his eldest daughter-in-law, they wouldn’t object to giving it to their son, right?
But Grandfather Sheng still couldn’t make up his mind about this party.
If they let that old rural lady attend the party in their place, it would make his business partners laugh their teeth off.
Then he wouldn’t be able to hold his head up in front of them!
Grandmother Sheng suggested, “Let’s just go to the party! Even if he doesn’t invite us, we can still go to the party! He’s our son, so how could he throw us out?”
With that thought in mind, Grandmother Sheng smiled scornfully. “Is it possible for us to lose to a dumb*ss? That dumb*ss has no self-awareness and insists on attending such an occasion, but we should make her understand that she doesn’t belong here. After getting so much from our family, she should just live the life she deserves in the countryside!”
