Cheng Shaolin raised his eyelids to look at his grandfather, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.
The old man looked at his grandson, whose face was not looking good, and thought, "He's still the same as before, so proud."
The old man knew that at this point, there was no point in saying anything more.
He knew his eldest grandson was becoming increasingly radical.
But what can I say?
The base is not peaceful right now either.
All parties are vying for power.
Anyone who relaxes their guard might be eliminated by this base.
Their family, their former subordinates, and their current subordinates are all reasons why they cannot slacken their efforts.
The eldest son's family did all of this, partly for the sake of the family.
Some say it's for their own sake, and some do.
Whether for public or private reasons, their actions are understandable.
However, not everyone will agree with this.
Besides, Cheng Shaolin is such an outstanding and proud person.
How could he be subservient to others and be criticized?
There should be a limit to being controlled by others.
Given Cheng Shaoheng's attitude and his obvious intentions, how could he possibly agree?
Now she's plotting against his girlfriend. Just because Shao Lin protected her so much, how could she turn on him the very day she came back?
It's not easy to manage the old man anymore; he's already handed everything over, and it'll all be the young people's world from now on.
That's all I can do; there's nothing more I can do.
The apocalypse came too suddenly, catching everyone off guard.
It also changed everything.
Including people's hearts.
The old man gave Cheng Shaolin a deep look, his heart filled with a mix of emotions.
It's all in that one look.
Cheng Shaolin understood everything perfectly well.
Does Grandpa really not want to care?
Definitely not.
But he is now powerless to do anything.
He is old, and times have changed.
It's the end of the world now.
Besides, he has already relinquished power.
Every emperor brings a new court; he was willing but powerless.
It seems that in this family, it's not just one's parents who lack a voice.
It seems the old man isn't doing very well either.
Cheng Shaolin's eyelashes trembled, concealing the emotions in his eyes.
“Grandpa, of course we’re family. I know my surname is Cheng.”
Cheng Feihong and Cheng Shaoheng's eyes lit up.
Could it be that——
The old man looked at Cheng Shaolin for a long time before nodding.
"good."
Cheng Shaolin smiled and said, "I know what I should do, but if you ask for too much, then I can't help you."
"Shao Lin, what do you mean by that?"
I was initially delighted by what they said, but I was immediately brought back to reality.
Cheng Shaolin chuckled and said, "Brother, there's no need to say more. What you're thinking, I can't do. Also, please don't try to make a move on Li Xiao."
Cheng Shaoheng felt a surge of anger under Cheng Shaolin's gaze. What did he mean by "being targeted by Li Xiao"?
"She's your girlfriend, so shouldn't she do some chores for the family?"
Cheng Shaolin's smile vanished, and he said coldly, "Didn't you look down on it before? If you don't like it, then don't even think about it."
Cheng Shaoheng was speechless after Cheng Shaolin's words, and his face burned when he thought of that day.
However, thinking about the information I had received before, I felt unwilling to accept it.
"That's all because of you. If you have the ability, why don't you speak up? Why hide it? We're all family. Can't you think about the family? Look at other families. How do they do it to solidify their position in the base? Are you willing to do that? Not only do you not speak up, but you also don't want to put in any effort."
Cheng Shaolin sneered, "You all make your selfishness and petty thoughts sound so noble. For the sake of the family? What did you say when I came back? You wanted me to get married as soon as I returned. What, is it so unimportant whether I'm doing well or not? Since you don't care about these things, don't expect me to do anything."
Seeing the indignant expressions on the faces of the people opposite him about Cheng Shaoheng's words, they all thought he had done wrong.
He just scoffed.
When you've been in a high position for too long, you see everyone as someone you can only use.
If it has no value, it's just dog shit and can be thrown away at any time.
Now that they've discovered its value, they want to pick it up again.
The reason is still that you don't know what's good for you.
Heh, am I being pathetic? My parents have been in the underworld for so long, and although I haven't asked, I can imagine they're not very happy.
Seeing such a powerful family, what is there that you can't understand?
Forget it, we're not on the same page.
If the family needs help, we'll help if we can; otherwise, let's not talk about it.
He didn't want to involve Li Xiao either.
I don't want Li Xiao to be exploited at all.
Cheng Shaolin could understand Li Xiao's personality.
They might even turn against you then.
He didn't want to end up without a wife.
Li Xiao was his untouchable Achilles' heel.
"My surname is Cheng, that's an indisputable fact. But Xiaoxiao isn't. No one can ask her to do anything, no one can." Cheng Shaolin looked at the people opposite him, his eyes sharp.
"Since you looked down on her before, then don't go looking for her again."
"Cheng Shaolin, you!" Cheng Shaoheng stood up abruptly, pointing angrily at Cheng Shaolin.
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong? I already said you can talk about it, but don't drag Xiaoxiao into it."
She raised her eyelids to look at Cheng Shaoheng and said, "Uncle, brother, although we are family, we live separately. Since we are two families, let's do things our own way."
He then turned to look at the old man, "Grandpa, I will come back to see you. But what you hope for, I can only say I will try my best. If I can't do it, then don't force me."
