Zheng Weiting looked at Old Master Zheng with some helplessness and said, "Dad, this has been going on for so long, why are you still bringing it up? Aren't we doing just fine as we are now?"
Over the years, he and Ah Hui had long since seen through the marriage certificate issue. As long as they were still together, it didn't matter whether they had the certificate or not.
Seeing that his eldest son had never married or had children, and only stayed with Qiao Shuhui, Old Zheng felt very sad.
He tentatively asked his eldest son, "Ah Ting, Daddy has stopped objecting to your marriage a long time ago. If you propose to Ah Hui now, will she say yes?"
Zheng Weiting smiled and said, "We're both this old, is there still a need for us to get married?"
Old Zheng rolled his eyes at him. "Of course it's necessary. Only after we get married will we be a real family. If you don't get married, you'll always be boyfriend and girlfriend who can break up at any time."
Zheng Weiting said with a wry smile, "Daddy, the one who doesn't want to get married right now isn't me, it's Ahui!"
Old Zheng sighed deeply, "It's all my fault!"
After a while, the old man rallied his spirits again. "Ah Ting, I was wrong back then. Tell me, if I personally apologize to Ah Hui and then beg her to marry into the Zheng family on your behalf, would Ah Hui relent and agree to marry you?"
Zheng Weiting shook his head, "Daddy, there's really no need! Ah Hui and I are fine as we are now!"
Seeing his calm and indifferent expression, Old Zheng couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.
He asked angrily, "Then if you don't have an heir, who will you pass the family business on to when it comes to you?"
Zheng Weiting smiled and said, "Daddy, I can just find a smarter one among my nephews and nieces to be my successor, isn't that the same thing!"
Seeing that he was completely unyielding, Old Zheng sighed again, "Fine, fine, I'm going to be buried in the ground soon, whatever you want, do whatever you want."
The old man stood up and took out the gift he had asked Butler Zuo to put away from the cabinet next to him.
Old Zheng took out the bottle of green juice and glanced at the instructions on the bottle.
"Energy-boosting juice can optimize physical condition, improve physical performance, and prolong life? Ah Ting, is this true? Is the effect of this energy-boosting juice as good as that of energizing tea?"
Seeing the old man's somewhat shocked expression, Zheng Weiting smiled faintly and said, "Daddy, why don't you try it now and see the effect?"
Old Zheng glanced at his eldest son, twisted open the bottle cap, tilted his head back, took a sip of the energy juice, and savored the taste.
It has a light and sweet taste, and a very pleasant texture and flavor.
The old man took a few more sips...
Soon, the old man sensed something was different.
It seemed as if a mysterious power erupted within him, rapidly flowing to his limbs and bones, nourishing his aging body silently like spring rain along his meridians.
After a busy day and a birthday banquet, Mr. Zheng is getting on in years, and both his body and mind are feeling exhausted.
But now, after drinking a few sips of this energy-boosting juice, he felt his fatigue vanish instantly, and his strength was restored.
Just as he expected, this stamina juice, like that refreshing tea, is an extraordinary treasure!
Seeing the old man's shocked expression, Zheng Weiting couldn't help but laugh and said, "Daddy, if you finish this bottle of stamina juice, it will make you at least ten years younger. The effect is best when you drink the first bottle."
Upon hearing his eldest son's words, Old Zheng drank the rest of the energy juice without hesitation.
After feeling the power within his body become even stronger, Old Zheng regretted it again. Why had he refused to let Qiao Shuhui marry his eldest son in the first place?
Who would have thought that a woman who fled from the mainland to Hong Kong in such a sorry state, and who was almost forty years old, would one day rise up so quickly?
In just over a decade, she rose to the top echelons of the Hong Kong business community.
Although Mr. Zheng knew that Qiao Shuhui's eldest son had given her a lot of help as she climbed the ladder of success.
But if she didn't have strong abilities, high intelligence, and strong willpower, she wouldn't have been able to climb up, let alone reach such a high position.
What he didn't expect was that behind Qiao Shuhui was a chosen one who possessed a rare treasure!
If he had known this day would come, why would he have refused her entry into the family in the first place?
Now, even if he wanted to ask Qiao Shuhui to marry Ah Ting again, she wouldn't agree!
He's so embarrassed, he's practically slapped himself to pieces!
How could he have been so shallow back then, unable to recognize a gem even with his eyes?
It's all about timing and fate!
Even though Qiao Shuhui is unwilling to marry her eldest son now, Old Master Zheng still wants to maintain the friendship between the two families.
With her eldest son always protecting Ah Hui's feelings, Ah Hui and Xiao Yu'er will surely give this old man some face.
Thinking of this, Old Zheng immediately said to Zheng Weiting, "A-Ting, help me buy two Rolls-Royces, and order two sets of diamond and jade jewelry for each of them. Go and give them to A-Hui and Xiao-Yu'er, and make sure they accept them. You should hurry up and take care of this tomorrow."
Zheng Weiting smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll take care of this tomorrow."
Old Zheng then instructed him, "A-Ting, even if you and A-Hui don't plan to get married, you still need to treat A-Hui and Xiao-Yu-er well in the future. You must not let them become estranged from our family."
Zheng Weiting replied with a smile, "Dad, I know. Don't worry, I will definitely treat their family well."
Even if the old man hadn't said that, he would still have been good to Ah Hui and Xiao Yu'er.
Whether he and Ahui got the marriage certificate or not, in his heart, he already regarded Ahui as his wife, Xiaoyu as his own daughter, and Xiaoyu's children as his own grandchildren.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have directly gifted Xiaoyu a building in Central and a luxury car.
Just like what people outside say, most people don't treat their own daughters this well.
To be honest, the good things that Shen Yu had were just icing on the cake for him.
He's still in his prime, and his need for these nice things isn't like that of an old man who would care so much.
Of course, it would be a lie to say that I don't care at all.
However, compared to all these good things, he cared more about Ah Hui!
If he had to choose between good stuff and Ah Hui, he would choose Ah Hui without hesitation!
Zheng Weiting left the study and returned to his bedroom.
He sat on the sofa and brewed himself a pot of refreshing tea.
He has discovered that this refreshing tea can make his mind more active and his mental energy better, but it won't keep him awake.
On the contrary, it can improve his sleep. It is very rare for someone as alert as him to be able to sleep soundly until dawn.
Zheng Weiting leaned back on the sofa, puffing out smoke rings as he recalled the scene when he first met Ahui.
It was late at night eleven years ago...
