Chapter 306: I’ve Achieved My Goal Just Like That?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Shen Hanyu didn’t really understand why his grandmother and Zhen Yiping were so insistent on him staying in the Zhen family, as if they wanted to train him as their successor.

Although he and the Zhen family shared a blood relationship, his surname was Shen, and to the Zhen family, he was only an outsider.

“When my father passed away, his good-for-nothing brother, my uncle, incited the clansmen to make a scene on the day of his funeral in an attempt to divide the Zhen family’s assets. At that time, 1 was still young. Fortunately, Mother managed to suppress the situation, but there was a time when 1 had a very unpleasant argument with my uncle.”

Zhen Yiping knew what Shen Hanyu was thinking and slowly explained the whole story, “The Zhen family has been alive for a hundred years. The foundation they have today is the hard work of several generations, especially from your grandfather’s hands. Who knows how much effort he put in for our prosperity today? Your grandma and 1 don’t want the Zhen family to fall into the hands of the evildoers in the future, but it’s a pity that the Zhen family’s direct line of descendants aren’t very prosperous. That child Zhuzhu is disappointing, and Huanhuan is still young.”

Zhen Yiping had two daughters. The younger daughter, Zhen Huan, was only 14. or 15 years old. Although the older daughter, Zhen Zhu, had returned from her studies, she was rebellious and had a bad relationship with her family. She had not returned to the Zhen family for the past two or three years.

The problem with the Zhen family’s future heir was the top issue that Zhen Yiping and Old Lady Zhen had to prioritize.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Zhen family was the number one family in the capital, and their family businesses were all pillars of support for the country’s economy and people’s livelihood. They also had the military backing them, and their factories were powerful. Moreover, their connections in the political and business circles were also deeply intertwined. They were no longer just a simple business company.

…..

However, it was also because of this that Zhen Yiping felt how lonely it was at the top. Every second felt like he was walking on thin ice, and he did not dare to make any mistakes.

“Two years ago, I was hospitalized for more than two months because of liver problems. Those restless relatives immediately made their moves. If something really happens to me, it’ll only be a matter of a blink of an eye for our family business to fall apart.”

Zhen Yiping’s expression was a little heavy as he sighed. “If the Zhen family is really like a plate of sand in my hands and 1 still fail to find a successor, then 1 would be a sinner of the Zhen family. 1 would not be able to face my father in the afterlife.”

Zhen Yiping had never told anyone about these worries, except for when he had talked to Old Lady Zhen in private. Today, he was truly confiding in Shen Hanyu.

Shen Hanyu’s reaction was calm. “Actually, I’m not Uncle’s only nephew. You don’t have to pin all your hopes on me.”

“You mean Zhongjin? Haven’t you seen him before?”

Zhen Yiping shook his head. “Your aunt has spoiled him since you were young. Not only is he impetuous, but he’s also usually indulgent. How can he take on great responsibilities?”

The aunt that Zhen Yiping was referring to was his eldest younger sister, Zhen Yixin’s older sister, Zhen Yishu.

After Zhen Yishu married the Li family’s Young Master in the capital, she had a son and a daughter. The son was Zhen Zhongjin.

Due to Zhen Yishu’s excessive pampering, Zhen Zhongjin had been spoiled since he was young. He was obviously a hedonistic son and had a domineering personality. Not only did Zhen Yiping look down on him, but even the old lady frowned at the mention of him. She was not very happy with her eldest daughter.

“Actually, not to mention Zhong Jin, your grandmother and I have already secretly observed all the relatives who we know and are reliable. We don’t trust any of them.”

Zhen Yiping looked at Shen Hanyu eagerly. “Didn’t your grandmother say that it’s a blessing from heaven that you can reunite with us? Hanyu, there’s no one more suitable than you.”

It wasn’t just because Shen Hanyu was outstanding, but also because he was Zhen Yixin’s only son.

Back then, because of the marriage, Zhen Yiping’s father, Zhen Yuanhua, had taken a tough stance and refused to compromise for the sake of the Zhen family.

After Zhen Yixin escaped from the family, there was no news of her. Zhen Yuanhua could not let it go even when he died, and Old Lady Zhen had shed tears in her heart countless times.

The whole family felt guilty toward Zhen Yixin, so they made Shen Hanyu the future heir of the Zhen family. In a sense, it was also to make up for their mistakes toward her.

“Uncle, since you’ve already put it this way, then 1 shouldn’t have rejected you.”

Shen Hanyu said calmly, “But since you’ve said that you want to make a deal with me, it’s obviously not a good deal for me.”

Zhen Yiping was stunned, and then he laughed. “Then what is a better deal you can propose?”

“I can stay in the Zhen family to assist you, but you still need to be careful with the matter of choosing the heir..”
