Mrs. Zhao tugged at her husband's sleeve. "Son, are you talking nonsense? Our second son is such a blockhead, how could he possibly succeed? How could he become the head of a factory?"
Mr. Zhao didn't believe it either. His brows furrowed tightly, and he grabbed his son's hand that was holding food. "Gangzi, are you sure you're not mistaken? It really is him? How is that possible? Isn't he still in college?"
Faced with his parents' barrage of questions, Zhao Gang rolled his eyes. "I'm not blind or stupid. Do you think I wouldn't know if it's him or not?"
"I asked him, and he got involved with the Bai family. You know the Bai family, right? They're one of the top families!"
Now even our sales manager bows and scrapes to him! Humph!
Zhao's parents exchanged a glance, both looking at each other with disbelief.
"Old Zhao, has that rebellious son really made it big?"
Mr. Zhao's face darkened. "That shameful fellow dares to swagger around outside!"
He was truly ashamed of his son's unusual hobby! He wished he would remain unknown forever, so that people who knew him wouldn't find out and tarnish the Zhao family's reputation.
Zhao's mother shrank her neck. She knew better than anyone how much her husband loathed his second son, that pervert.
Zhao Gang also disliked Zhao Liang, but he valued his own interests more.
"Dad, think about it. Their factory has only just stabilized, but by getting involved with the Bai family, they are destined to soar to great heights in the future!"
If the whole of Kyoto, or even the whole country, finds out that he's a pervert, then... then Dad, you'll really lose face all over the country!
When people mention him, they think of the Zhao family as having produced a freak! Dad, gossip is a terrible thing!
His words filled Zhao's father's mind with images of being pointed at and gossiped about, making him tremble with anger, his face turning pale and then purple.
He slammed his hand on the table. "Hmph! He dares! I'll break his legs!"
Fearing he would get too angry, Zhao's mother quickly patted his chest to calm him down, saying, "Don't be angry! You're not in good health and you're always so irritable!"
After saying that, she secretly glared at her son. This troublesome son, isn't he afraid of making his father really angry to the point of having a problem!
Zhao Gang ignored her reproachful gaze and instead leisurely poured tea for his father.
"Dad, why are you angry? Have a cup of tea to calm down. That day hasn't come yet!"
"If we just think of a way, we can guarantee that our Zhao family will rise to prominence, while the second son can obediently live a quiet, unknown life, hiding in a corner."
Zhao's father looked at him suspiciously, but still took the tea and drank a sip to suppress his irritation.
"Do you have a solution?"
Zhao Gang clapped his hands and said, "That's right! Dad, if Zhao Liang gets involved with the Bai family, doesn't that mean our Zhao family is involved with the Bai family?"
We're both children of the Zhao family, but I'm sweeter-talking, quicker-witted, and smarter than him. Anyone in the Bai family who isn't stupid will know who to choose.
If he agrees to introduce us, I'm 80-90% confident I can replace him!
Upon hearing this, Zhao's father fell into deep thought, considering the feasibility of the matter.
Zhao Gang knows his two elders in the family best; otherwise, he wouldn't have been spoiled at home for so long.
He gestured to Zhao's mother with his eyes, asking her to speak up for him.
As Zhao's mother pondered his words, the more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
“Old Zhao, your son is right. The second son is too dull. Even if he wins the favor of the Bai family for a while, you know his personality. In the long run, they will definitely get annoyed with him!”
It would be better to replace him sooner rather than later and let Gangzi go! Gangzi is smarter and more capable than him, and he will definitely be able to maintain the relationship for a long time. In the end, he can also bring our whole family a good life!
Our descendants will all benefit!
That second son is... he'll definitely have no descendants. Even if he adopts a child, that child won't be a member of the Zhao family! We can't let this good fortune go to outsiders; we parents can't be foolish!
At worst, when the third son becomes successful, his grandson can take care of him in his old age! It's better than letting him go out and embarrass himself!
