Xiao Chengyang's gratitude to them for giving him life does not mean that they should indulge him and let him do whatever he wants.
Don't think he didn't see it; his mother was looking for someone and trying to stop Jiang Tian.
His wife is going to spend her whole life with him, so Xiao Chengyang will definitely not be lenient with his parents who don't have much parental love.
He had already decided to put them under house arrest.
As for the subordinates they wanted to contact... sorry, those people were his subordinates, just people who were acting on his orders, pretending to be his parents, and cleaning up after the couple from time to time.
They really think too highly of themselves; in reality, they're just good-for-nothings.
Xiao Chengyang also had people keeping an eye on the other members of the Xiao family.
He doesn't fight battles he's not confident of winning.
Since he dared to publicly acknowledge Jiang Tian's identity, he had to ensure her safety.
As for the Xiao family, did he ever say he would hand them over? They were originally his property.
If he has to lose what is rightfully his because of Jiang Tian, then what is the point of all the effort he has put in over the years?
Xiao Chengyang walked steadily to the study door and knocked.
The old man's aged voice rang out: "Come in."
Seeing his imposing grandson, the old man's expression was unreadable.
“You embarrassed me in front of everyone today. You know perfectly well that I was testing you. I wanted you to understand that only by giving up those external obstacles can you grasp the most essential wealth. You are the grandchildren I have the most faith in, but you have disappointed me greatly.”
The old man stopped playing along with him.
He conquered a vast empire, but when he wanted to hand it over, he discovered that few of his children were successful.
Even if they are given good genes and an excellent family background, so what?
If someone goes astray from the start, they can never get back on the right track in their lifetime.
After observing for a long time, the old man suddenly realized that his grandson, who had always been at odds with his family since childhood and had even gone out to start his own business, was actually the most suitable candidate.
The old man had expressed his feelings to Xiao Chengyang long ago.
"What did you promise me back then? You said you would definitely take over the Xiao family and make my business thrive. What's your answer to me now?"
"You can have a million women like that in the future! For her, you publicly gave up everything you once had at the banquet. Were you poisoned?"
As the old man spoke, a look of deep sorrow appeared on his face.
He is looking for a qualified heir, and the heir's attributes must be prioritized over other factors.
Jiang Tian is indeed a beautiful woman, but so what?
Will he not meet her again?
With so many women, what couldn't he have!
Xiao Chengyang showed no remorse despite the old man's scolding; instead, he laughed even more heartily.
“Grandpa, you’re getting old. Why are you trapped in your old ways of thinking? Is choosing Jiang Tian the rule that I can’t have anything else? Is that the rule you set for me? Then I can only say I’m sorry, I can’t follow that rule.”
Xiao Chengyang placed the prepared documents in front of the old man, his smile unchanged: "Take a look at what I have in my hand first, and then tell me whether you want to hand over the Xiao family to someone else."
The old man's expression changed.
He looked at the file folder in front of him and suddenly had a bad feeling.
After looking through all the items, the old man's expression was indescribable.
When did you start preparing?
