Chapter 197: Coveting the Du Family's Wealth
After that, Cheng Yu looked at Cheng Guangnian quietly.
At this moment, no matter what kind of reaction Cheng Guangnian shows, Cheng Yu will feel that he is expected.
In the matter of marrying the Du family, Cheng Guangnian showed an attitude that absolutely cannot be opposed.
Therefore, when Cheng Yu decided to tell him the truth, he was ready to accept Cheng Guangnian's thunderous anger.
He had imagined that Cheng Guangnian would stretch out his slap in anger and slap him heavily in the face.
He also once thought that Cheng Guangnian would be furious and let him get out of this house and never come back.
It is more likely that Cheng Guangnian used all means to force him and Du Xiaoyu to get engaged, anyway, it is not up to them to decide at all, and the parents of both sides are happy to see such a result.
However, Cheng Yu was wrong.
After Cheng Guangnian heard his words, although he also showed a trace of anger, but more, he showed a state of decline.
took two puffs of cigarette vigorously, and the smoke showed a faint blue color under the night, lingering on Cheng Guangnian's cheeks, slowly rising, and finally dissipating in the wind.
"Actually, it's expected. Cheng Guangnian finally opened his mouth, his voice was a little dry, as if his throat was stuck and not opened.
"Is it inappropriate to get along, or is it ...... from the beginning" Cheng Guangnian continued, suddenly laughed to himself, and said: "I'm really old, and I still have to ask such a simple question." β
Cheng Yu replied honestly: "Du Xiaoyu is also very resistant to your arrangement, when she and I first met, she didn't know that I was the one who wanted to go on a blind date with her, and she even wanted to ask me to pretend to be her boyfriend to ......make the 'Cheng Yu' in her mind retreat from the difficulty."
Cheng Guangnian smiled, and he asked with interest, "What's going on?"
Cheng Yu slowly sat down on the steps by the lake and told Cheng Guangnian what happened that day like a story.
"It seems that the two of you actually get along well, why isn't it possible to go further?"
"First of all, I don't have such thoughts, maybe it's because this matter is arranged by you and Uncle Du, and I am naturally resistant. But the most important thing is that I don't feel like I need to be in a relationship now, and I don't want to get involved in marriage too early. Marriage, in my opinion, should be something that should be considered after the age of thirty.
Secondly, Du Xiaoyu and I are really getting along quite well now, if both sides can be more positive, it is indeed possible to move forward according to your vision. However, this matter was wrong from the beginning and went astray, so this is an objective reason that we will not work in that direction. Roughly so. β
Cheng Guangnian took out another cigarette and just wanted to light it, but Cheng Yu snatched the cigarette from his mouth.
"I also said that I am old, so I should smoke less cigarettes. β
Cheng Guangnian looked at his son and asked with a smile: "So, even if I don't leave you the Cheng Group that should belong to you, you won't have any complaints?"
Cheng Yu also replied with a smile: "This is the real reason why you want me to be with Du Xiaoyu, so you hope to use another way to let me get the wealth that the world has noticed."
You never want to leave the group to me, because that will inevitably cause the entire Cheng family to fall apart.
Even when you are old and can no longer pay attention to these things at home, you can't control it, and it is not impossible for your brothers to become enemies and even turn against each other.
After all, although the group was created by you, the second and third uncles also made great contributions to it. Cheng Yi and Cheng Ran have also helped you a lot over the years, if you directly inherit the group to me, it is indeed a matter of course, but the two of them must leave when I take over the group.
Especially my performance today, you must know that even if you can't do it when you let go, the first move after I took over was to let them go back to retirement collectively. Lao Cheng, you are more ruthless to your son than to your brothers......"
"Don't blame me?" Cheng Guangnian continued to ask with a smile.
Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "What's there to complain about, I said it all, your Cheng Group, I have never participated in it, they are at least experiencers." Whoever you want to give your empire to is your freedom. I don't even care about the wealth of Du Xiaoyu's family, so I won't care about this. Since I have not participated in the construction of Cheng's Group before, it is reasonable not to touch it in the future. Lao Cheng, you think too much. β
Cheng Guangnian nodded and looked at the lake.
The darkness of the night prevented his eyes from reaching the other side of the lake, and he could only stop on the surface of the lake in front of him.
"It's okay if you don't want to marry Du Xiaoyu, so I don't have any worries. Cheng Guangnian suddenly said this, which stunned Cheng Yushu.
Soon, Cheng Yu caught the hidden meaning of this sentence, and he said, "You won't be planning to ......"
Cheng Guangnian didn't speak, still looking at the lake, his eyes gradually becoming resolute and decisive.
"Hahaha, it turns out that the person who covets the wealth of the Du family is you. I thought you just wanted to use everything in the Du family to compensate me, but I was wrong, in fact, you wanted to take everything from the Du family...... Old Cheng, you are really a hero!" Cheng Yu laughed loudly, leaning forward and backward with laughter, laughing breathlessly, laughing ...... Tears squeezed out of the corners of his eyes.
"I'm still too naΓ―ve!" Cheng Yu stood up, turned around and walked towards the back door of the house.
After walking a few steps, Cheng Yu turned his head and said to his father: "But no matter what, I am your son, so I will not tell Du Xiaoyu about your intentions." Weigh more things between you. I just want to say that Du Changfeng has been your old friend for many years after all, and maybe even your only friend, right?"
Cheng Guang said in a young voice, but he could hear it clearly: "Standing in my position, I have no choice." β
Cheng Yu shrugged, didn't say a word, and strode towards the house.
Cheng Guangnian was still sitting by the lake, looking at the water surface in front of him, which had no ripples, and let out a long sigh.
"I had hoped to settle it in a way that pleased all, but it was you, my dear son, who had driven your father down the path of last resort. I'm going to have to keep myself alive first. β
took out a cigarette and lit a fire, but Cheng Guangnian threw the burning cigarette into the lake.
This time, the lake finally set off ripples, stretching far and wide.
"There are still five months, and within five months, if Cheng Yu and Du Xiaoyu can go to the step I expect...... I guess I don't have to do it myself. I just don't understand the reason why you have to let me get the Duch Group. I can't make enough money, if I don't take away Du Changfeng, I can still make the company's wealth grow to the extent of the merger of the two groups within the time limit you request. Why bother?"
In the night, only the breeze blew gently, blowing the leaves to make a rustling sound, and no one answered Cheng Guangnian's question.
"If I lose, can't all this I have now be left to Xiaozhu and Cheng Yu?" Cheng Guangnian's voice seemed to be ten years older.
