Chapter 52 You've messed with me? You've lost your heir status.
The words Zheng Yuzhe used to express his loyalty to Song Yirou could be clearly heard from the phone.
Everyone looked at each other.
"Dad, are you alright?!"
The family doctor quickly removed the stethoscope.
A group of younger people surrounded Grandpa Song.
Old Master Song waved his hand, too lazy to waste words on these idiots.
If they cared more about Nanxi, would this old man, at his age, still be so restless?
Those slaps, when they reached Old Master Zheng's ears, felt almost as if they were slapping his face.
Zheng Yuzhe's willful behavior today also disappointed him greatly, and he couldn't help but recall Song Nanxi's words.
Can such an irrational and emotional grandson really shoulder the responsibility of the Zheng family, such a behemoth?
Perhaps he should consider other people...
Song Yirou's face turned pale as she frantically cried out to the system in her mind, "System, what should I do!"
The system coldly replied, "I warned you before that as a strategist, you can't be soft-hearted."
Its host, however, was overly vain.
Song Yirou retorted angrily, "Is this the time to criticize me? The important thing is that you come up with a solution for me!"
System: "I cannot directly interfere with what is happening in reality, otherwise I will be punished by the rules. You'd better figure it out yourself!"
Song Yirou: "Then what use are you to me!"
The system sneered: "You can choose to unbind directly."
"You—" Song Yirou was speechless, and could only direct all her anger at Song Nanxi.
After the video finished playing, Song Nanxi asked Old Master Zheng, "Old Master, tell me now, isn't Zheng Yuzhe despicable? He has neither the ability to actively pursue true love nor the courage to refuse an engagement he doesn't like. So what did my Song family do wrong to deserve this treatment from your Zheng family!"
Even Song Hai and the others who disliked Song Nanxi were now all looking at Old Master Zheng, waiting for an answer.
The blond guy from the hospital muttered, "They think the Song family is easy to bully!"
"Yes, and they deliberately chose this time. What if the old man gets so angry that something bad happens to him—"
The elders were reluctant to speak up, but the younger generation chimed in with their opinions, showing no mercy to the Zheng family.
For the first time in his life, Mr. Zheng's dignity was trampled on, leaving him speechless and looking dejected, as if he had aged ten years. He looked extremely pitiful.
"I'm sorry, Nanxi, it's all my fault. I failed to raise this unfilial descendant properly." He wiped his face, looked at Old Master Song who was being examined by the family doctor with his eyes closed, and his lips moved. "But I swear, I really didn't mean to bring this up today and upset Old Master Song."
After saying that, he suddenly stepped forward and kicked Zheng Yuzhe hard.
He shouted angrily, "Why did you say that today?! You're not a child anymore, can't you tell what's important?!"
Zheng Yuzhe's eyes were bloodshot. He was being blamed by everyone, but he didn't regret it. "Except for today, I never see Grandpa Song at all. It's her—it's Song Nanxi! That woman is a madwoman. She hired two bodyguards to guard the door. Anyone who wants to go in has to get her permission!"
Why is she so domineering?!
That's true. Even the rest of the Song family were frightened by those two bodyguards who were as big as bears today.
Song Nanxi scoffed, "You're acting all wronged now? Now you understand why I hired bodyguards, right? It's to keep an eye on people like him!"
Upon hearing this, Song Hong, Song Qi, and the others thought it made some sense...
They looked at their niece from the countryside with mixed feelings.
Old Master Zheng was ashamed. "Enough! Shut up! You want to break off the engagement, right? Fine, I'll grant your wish!" He glanced at everyone, especially avoiding his old friend's eyes, and said, "But I also need to tell you in advance that since you've rejected this marriage and want to pursue true love, then go ahead and pursue it. From now on, you're leaving the company and starting your own business!"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
This is going to deprive Zheng Yuzhe of the possibility of inheriting the Zheng family business!
“Grandpa…?” Zheng Yuzhe looked up in disbelief.
But what I saw was Old Master Zheng's eyes filled with disappointment, and his listless and dejected demeanor.
His voice suddenly became hoarse as if it had been poisoned, and he could no longer speak.
Song Yirou was shocked, and before she could react, she had already spoken, "Grandpa Zheng, isn't this punishment too severe? Everyone knows A-Zhe's abilities; he's definitely the most outstanding among this generation of young people—"
"Xiao Rou, this is a matter for the Zheng family, so you don't need to worry about it." Old Master Zheng looked at her, but the smile didn't reach his eyes. There was no trace of the affection and closeness he used to have. He kicked Zheng Yuzhe again, "Come on, come back with me. Don't embarrass yourself here!"
Song Yirou immediately looked embarrassed.
Old Master Zheng added, "Old Song, you should rest well. I'll visit you again another day. We're sorry for what happened to your Song family and to Nanxi. Don't worry, we will definitely compensate Nanxi and won't let her suffer in vain!"
Old Master Song clutched his heart, groaning in pain, and completely ignored him.
Song Nanxi: "Grandpa Zheng, I'm relieved to know that there are still reasonable people in the Zheng family. You have no idea how awful Aunt Zheng's words were when she came to our house last time, right in front of my grandfather. My grandfather is a respectable man, so he certainly didn't have the nerve to tell you everything."
I'm just giving you a heads-up, hoping you can keep your family members in check. No offense intended.
The blond cousin secretly rolled his eyes: Godfather, you mean no harm! Your malice is overflowing!
Didn't you see Zheng Yuzhe's eyes were practically popping out of their sockets?
Grandpa Zheng nodded. "Okay, I will. We'll be going now, goodbye."
Seeing the way he was holding back his anger, Song Nanxi knew that things were going to be tough; Zheng Yuzhe would definitely get a beating when he got back.
Yes, Song Nanxi was clearly trying to sow discord. She didn't care whether Old Master Zheng was sincere or not; in his heart, his own grandson was always the most important. But no matter how important, when it came to the family business, shouldn't he have considered it carefully?
If you accidentally befriend the wrong person, you could become a sinner to your family.
Song Nanxi is really ruthless. Zheng Yuzhe only wanted to break off the engagement with her, but she made him lose his position as the heir.
Moreover, Madam Zheng will likely not escape a scolding.
The family doctor said that Mr. Song was just feeling unwell temporarily due to the shock, and that there was nothing seriously wrong with his health, so he didn't need to go to the hospital, which put everyone at ease.
Song Qi looked at Song Yirou with a hint of schadenfreude, "Yirou, when did you and Zheng Yuzhe get together? If you liked each other, why didn't you say so earlier? Now that things have turned out like this, how can our families still have any dealings?"
"I didn't!" Song Yirou gritted her teeth, glaring at Song Nanxi. "Song Nanxi, why are you slandering me!"
"Did you not install GPS? Can't you figure out your location?" Song Nanxi rolled her eyes. "If that's what you think, there's nothing I can do about it."
Song Yirou just wanted to tear Song Nanxi's face apart. "I'll say it again, I don't like Zheng Yuzhe!"
"It's not that you don't like him, but that doesn't stop you from keeping him as a backup option."
"Shut up!"
"Oh, they're getting impatient!" Song Nanxi said to everyone, pointing at Song Yirou.
“You, you…” Song Yirou had never seen such a shameless person as Song Nanxi.
"Alright! Everyone, say less," Old Master Song's stern gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Song Yirou. "Yirou, tell me the truth, what exactly is your relationship with Zheng Yuzhe?"
Song Yirou immediately knelt down, "Grandpa, he and I are just friends. I don't know why he misunderstood that I like him."
Old Master Song squinted, his imposing aura overwhelming.
No one in the room dared to utter a sound.
"So, can you guarantee that you will never be with Zheng Yuzhe in this lifetime?"
Without a second thought, Song Yirou replied, "Yes! I swear!"
"Alright, if that day ever comes, then you can leave the Song family. Over the years, our Song family has certainly not wronged you."
