Chapter 623: Old Man Su's Contradictions
As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. The more a person has, the more taboos there are, just like the unspoken rules in the workplace today, the easiest to squeeze are those middle-aged people who have everything, because they are old and young, plus all kinds of huge expenses, they don't dare to lose their jobs, so no matter how they can bear them.
If a person has nothing, then he has no scruples, and which outlaw in the prison is not like this?
Twenty years ago, Mr. Su lost his beloved son, and when everyone thought that he would retaliate like crazy, he didn't expect that the old man would endure all kinds of grief and deal with the funeral unusually calmly, and then take his grandchildren overseas.
That was Old Man Su's only son, how could he not be sad and angry? But at that time, his foundation in the Su family was still unstable, and the most important thing was that he still had grandchildren, which were the flesh and blood left by his son and daughter-in-law, as well as his hope and future.
If his grandchildren are gone, then he has nothing, even if he has the status of wealth that rivals the wealth of the country, but what is the point?
He is already a handful of years old, and he has already experienced what he should have experienced, the ups and downs of the wind and waves, and the enjoyment of what should be enjoyed, money, power, status, beauty, and so on.
At his age, he should have been able to enjoy the joy of family for a thousand years, but God made him have no way to retire early, so he could only continue to stand on the cusp of the storm, even so, he had no complaints, because he just wanted to raise his grandchildren smoothly.
Now that his grandchildren have grown up, he doesn't have any requirements for his granddaughter Yu'er, after all, girls just need to live happily and carefree, so he has always let Yu'er stay by his side.
But he has always been very conflicted about his grandson Su Qin, Su Qin is not only his only grandson, but also the only heir of his family.
He is the current patriarch of the Su family, and it stands to reason that after he abdicates, Su Qin should inherit the position of patriarch, but this position is too hot for him and Su Qin, and if he is not careful, he will die without a place to be buried.
Anyone knows the prominence of the position of the Su family patriarch, once he sits in this position, it is equivalent to standing at the top of the pyramid of the Han and Tang Empires, and it is not an exaggeration to say that turning his hands over to clouds and covering his hands to rain is not an exaggeration, but it is precisely because everyone knows that this position is a little hot for him and Su Qin.
If Ding Xingwang, a member of his family, would have someone to support and assist Su Qin even if he died, then he wouldn't care and wouldn't worry too much, and others wouldn't dare to have any wrong thoughts about this position, but his family now only had Su Qin, the only heir, how could he not worry, and how could others not peep?
If Su Qin is allowed to inherit this position, then Su Qin will inevitably be very dangerous, and all opponents who spy on this position and hope that the Su family will be disrupted are likely to attack Su Qin.
Because after Su Qin died, he would have no heir, and the position of patriarch would inevitably be handed over to other collateral families in the future.
If he gave up this position and didn't let Su Qin inherit the position of the head of the Su family, he would be a little unwilling, after all, this was the position he had only earned back then, so he gave it to others, so why bother?
At the same time, if this position is handed over to others, there are so many people who peep at this position, and no one in the Su family's powerful side lines will obey anyone, and then the Su family will only fall into turmoil again, which is a situation he does not want to see.
So he's always been conflicted. In the end, he chose a relatively safe plan, that is, to take precautions to help Su Qin pave the way, and wait until Su Qin grew up to seek Su Qin's opinion before making a decision.
If Su Qin was not interested in the position of the patriarch of the Su family, then he would begin to negotiate with the side families, and finally hand over the position of the patriarch smoothly under the premise of ensuring the interests of his family.
If Su Qin wanted to sit in this position, then he would not hesitate to help Su Qin sit in this position smoothly, and anyone who wanted to peep into this position and wanted to challenge Su Qin would make them pay the price.
Qian was the conversation when Su Qin was eighteen years old, the grandfather and grandson talked about everything late at night in the Manor in Monaco, putting all the possibilities and all the dangers on the table, Su Qin finally chose to inherit the position of the head of the Su family, even if he paid the price of his life for it one day.
Because Su Qin has only one most important reason, and that is to avenge his parents. Of course, there are many reasons, such as he said that if a person lives a lifetime, what is the point of living, and only by sitting in this position can he be able to do many, many meaningful things.
Although he knows that the process of wanting to sit in this position is full of hardships and challenges, it is not an experience for him, he has never been the kind of person who runs away from danger and retreats, he likes to challenge danger and face danger head-on.
Old Man Su was a little relieved and a little distressed, but this was Su Qin's final choice, and it also made him no longer contradict or hesitate, and from then on he began to go all out to pave the way for Su Qin, so that Su Qin could take over smoothly.
At that time, his plan was to let Su Qin return to China later and wait until Su Qin finished studying abroad before returning to China, for which he had a big quarrel with Su Qin's stepfather, and the two finally broke up, because Su Qin's stepfather supported Su Qin to return to China early.
Although he was a little reluctant, Su Qin chose to return to China early, and he had no choice but to let go of this matter until he found out that there was something wrong with his body.
When the problem with his body was detected, Old Man Su instantly became a little anxious, he was not worried about his body, he was already old and died.
But what he was worried about was Su Qin, he was worried that he would leave before he had arranged everything for Su Qin, and then Su Qin would have to face all the enemies and all the dangers alone.
Therefore, when the problem with the body was found, Old Man Su had to speed up the layout. It's just that what he didn't expect was that those enemies hidden in the shadows would directly attack Su Qin so quickly.
Of course, when Su Qin chooses to return to China, he will encounter this danger at any time, and it will be a matter of time.
At this moment, the old man sat in the study for a long time and didn't come back to his senses, he didn't know if Su Qin could survive this hurdle, all of this was Su Qin's own choice, even if he was really dead, he didn't blame anyone.
But he wouldn't have counted it that way. Once it is determined that Su Qin is dead, he will immediately hand Yu'er over to the Russell family to take care of, telling Yu'er that she is not allowed to return to China in this life, and then he will return to China without hesitation, so that everyone will bear his anger and revenge.
As for who is behind this, he doesn't care at all, just as he didn't care twenty years ago.
Because for a dying old man, all this is meaningless, he will take revenge one by one, and finally find those behind the scenes.
As for now, he can only wait quietly for news from Ningzhou.
