Shang Boyu only felt a strong stinging pain on his forehead, which directly covered the burning sensation of the tea.

He was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were immediately blank.

Ever since he was brought back to Shangjia, Shang Yizheng has always loved him and never criticized him. Only recently, when Meng Sheng had a miscarriage, did he scold him severely and make him kneel as punishment.

There has never been such a violent fight.

Meng Sheng was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Shang Yizheng to suddenly take action.

Over the years, she also realized that Shang Yizheng liked this youngest son and treated him much better than his first two sons. He was willing to teach him many things personally.

But Shang Yizheng still looked disappointed.

As if he still didn't feel relieved, he started to search for things around him, and finally picked up a kettle that had just been taken off the electric stove, and was about to smash it.

Seeing this, Meng Sheng pursed his lips, and hurriedly pretended to stop him, and said kindly, "Dad, calm down, don't be angry, put it down quickly, this thing will kill people if it hits you."

Shang Yizheng didn't let go, pointing at Shang Boyu in anger and cursing, "Instead of raising such a useless thing, I might as well just beat him to death!"

"Dad, don't get yourself hurt by being angry." Meng Sheng frowned and advised, "There's boiling water in here, it's going to burn you, it's terrible, let go quickly."

After hearing her words, Shang Yizheng reluctantly put the pot on the table and asked with concern, "Did you get burned?"

Meng Sheng smiled and shook his head, "No."

Then, he took another teacup and poured him a cup of tea, "Please calm down."

Shang Yizheng then put away his angry expression, took the tea, took a sip, and put down the cup.

With a sad face, he said, "You tell me, you are such a sensible and filial person, but he just doesn't know how to cherish you. Oh, blame me, blame me, it's my fault for not raising you well. Shengsheng, if you want to apologize, I should be the one to apologize to you..."

Having said that, he wanted to stand up and bow to her solemnly to apologize.

Meng Sheng hurriedly stopped him, "Dad, please don't do this. Isn't this embarrassing for me?"

But she couldn't say "It doesn't matter" calmly.

He didn't even look at Shang Boyu's miserable appearance.

Shang Yizheng sighed, then glared angrily at Shang Boyu who was kneeling beside him. He looked like he had aged by ten years.

"His mother is in prison now, and I don't know how many years she will be sentenced to. I'm old now, and I can't take care of him for many years. Now I can wake him up and help you make the decision. That's good enough.

You don't have to worry about him. It's good to be apart for a while now. He will eventually realize his mistakes.

Shengsheng, Dad understands your feelings. If you want to divorce, I support you. But can you wait until after the Chinese New Year?

Our business has suffered too many negative impacts. Your elder brother is not yet able to take charge on his own, and I have limited energy, so I have to do things one step at a time.

Don't worry about Ning Weiwei. She can't keep the baby in her belly. I will also make her leave Beijing and she will never come back.

If you still want to divorce after the New Year, I will personally take this evil creature with you to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Do you think this is okay?"

He showed the fatigue of old age, spoke sincerely, and appealed to people's emotions with his reasoning.

A pair of cloudy and weathered eyes looked at her sincerely.

It's like a loving father's helplessness and heartache towards his unfilial son, but he has to help the child again.

Are you moved?

Naturally I was moved.

But Meng Sheng is not stupid, and to be honest, he is not a good person either.

She knew that Shang Yizheng was retreating in order to advance.

In front of her, Shang Boyu was punished and made to bleed. Even if she had resentment in her heart, she had to calm down a little for the sake of his rage.

First stabilize her, then slowly pull back to give Shang Boyu a chance to ease the situation.

Now she suddenly understood who the originator of the Shang Shang actor was.

It’s Shang Yizheng.

Looking at his furious and frustrated look just now, for a moment, she really thought that he was standing up for her, and that he really felt sorry for her and hated what his son had done.

But, fake is fake.

No matter how true what he said was, it was still false.

Last time I could use real money as bargaining chips, but this time I have nothing.

Trying to take advantage of his seniority to get something for nothing.

She thought with contempt, how could such a good thing happen in the world?

She clenched her fists, suppressed the thousands of thoughts in her mind, and also grasped a glimmer of solution while struggling hard.

The pair of eyes that were originally filled with resentment were now somewhat entangled and struggling, and there was also a hint of reluctance in the look he gave Shang Yizheng.

There was still a bit of sob in her voice that she had to suppress. "Dad, I know you're trying hard, and I thank you for your understanding. I also know how hard it has been for you. There have been too many things happening recently.

Since I can't help you, I can't cause you any trouble either. But divorce is a decision I made after careful consideration. After the New Year, I hope Dad won't come to persuade me."

The implication is that she agreed to postpone the divorce to after the New Year.

I did it for his sake and didn't want to make things difficult for him.

But they are bound to divorce after the new year.

But this also suited Shang Yizheng's wishes.

He nodded, with a look of helplessness and sorrow, "It was that unworthy evil creature who didn't cherish you. How could you care about our business's reputation like this?

If you want a divorce, I don't have the nerve to persuade you. This is fine, hey, it's better to part ways in peace, so as not to make things too ugly and hurt the reputation and friendship of our families.

As for your father and your uncle, when I feel better, I will definitely visit them in person... ahem... "

When he said the latter part, his face turned red and he couldn't help coughing.

Shang Boyu saw this, not caring about the blood on his forehead, and quickly knelt down to help him, "Dad..."

Shang Yizheng didn't appreciate it and shook his hand off.

Those cloudy and old eyes were still firmly fixed on Meng Sheng, completing the unfinished sentence.

"I asked them to forgive me because I, as a father, failed to teach him well."

Of course Meng Sheng also understood the meaning of his words.

Any explanation about the visit is just nonsense.

He simply wanted to use her to suppress the anger of the Meng and Xu families, so as to prevent the Xu family from suppressing the Shang family. If that happened, the company's situation would become even more difficult.

Under such circumstances, Shang Yizheng did not forget to plan and calculate for his family business.

And all his current behaviors are nothing but putting profit first.

To put it bluntly, it's just playing the victim.
