Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 654: Eldest Grandson

“You know who I’m talking about, right? Yes, it’s Cheng Che’s mother. She was a good friend of my mother. At that time, Cheng Che’s mother was seven months pregnant with him. She left her daughter to look for her mother-in-law and never returned. Her decision implicated me and Cheng and changed our fates. If she did not leave, even if my parents passed away early, I wouldn’t have been in such an unfortunate state,” Guan Tang said, filled with self-pity. She sighed before she continued to say, “Cheng Che’s mother’s name was Yiwan. Aunt Yiwan’s death aggravated the conflict between the Old Madam and Old Master Yin. Coupled with the instigation of a third party, the rift in their relationship grew even more difficult to mend. The Old Madam was so furious about the Old Master’s abandonment that after leaving the Yin family, she let Cheng Che take her surname.”

“Not long after that, that old man arranged for my aunt to be married into the family as his eldest daughter-in-law. The Yin family and the Guan family have close business relations, after all. Daughters of wealthy families like ours are just mere tools for marriage. My aunt didn’t have the right to choose her husband. Fortunately, she was blessed. She got pregnant after two months of marriage. This means that Yin Zheng is only a year younger than Cheng Che. In that old man’s eyes, Yin Zheng was the heir-apparent of the Yin family. With that, the Old Madam, Aunt Yiwan, and Cheng Che, who had never entered the Yin family at all, were completely forgotten. They were completely erased from the family; there were no traces of them at all. As a result, Yin Yi was unaware of all these old family matters.”

Finally, Guan Tang smiled bitterly and asked, “What do you think? Did this refresh your worldview? This is what wealthy families are like; we’re all chess pieces in a wealthy family.”

“You’re taking too long to get to the point. I want to know about the original heir of the family. What happened to him? Although the family is quite chaotic, I’m sure the rules are still there.”

“Yin Zheng. Like I said, Yin Zheng is my aunt’s first child. For the longest time, he held the position of the eldest grandson in the Yin family. His birth was legal, and his mother’s from a suitable family, hence, the old man was extremely fond of him. Yin Zheng grew up by the old man’s side, and this caused the mistress to be dissatisfied. After all, her son and daughter are also children of the Yin family. Why couldn’t her grandchildren be the heir of the Yin family?”

“If the position of the heir of the Yin family belongs to the eldest grandson, then both Yin Zheng and Yin Jian, the mistress’ grandson, aren’t qualified. They’re not the eldest grandson of the Yin family, after all. The real eldest grandson of the family was wandering outside. Since both of them were unqualified, the mistress thought Yin Jian should be given the same treatment as Yin Zheng. Because of this issue, Yin Xing, or Cheng Che, was brought up in the family for the first time.”

Guan Tang spoke with emotions that even Jiahui could not help but be immersed in her storytelling.

“Our Guan family attaches importance to Yin Zheng since he would be the future head of the Yin family. Hence, when the mistress caused a scene, it was equivalent to denying Yin Zheng’s status. Naturally, the Guan family wouldn’t accept it. As a result, they went looking for the old man to make their stance clear.”

“That old man’s heart had already been moved by his mistress. However, when faced with the Guan family, he naturally had to consider the two families’ relationship that spanned generations. The mistress was afraid of unexpected changes so she eavesdropped on the conversation when the Guan family came over. As a result, when she heard the conversation, she naturally couldn’t accept it and stepped forward to argue her case. For the longest time, there was no conclusion to that matter.”

“The parties involved, Yin Zheng and Yin Jian, grew up together. They shared the same interests and were like brothers. Their parents fought fiercely for them, but they took advantage of it to relax and enjoy themselves. In the end, both of them fell in love with the same girl. For that reason, they both fell out with each other and began to oppose each other along with their parents.”

“It was also at that time that the lawyer, whom Old Madam Mu sent, came to the Yin family. How could the Yin family acknowledge Cheng Che at that time? It would mean there would be an extra person fighting for the Yin family. Uncle would rather not have his son as well. Can you imagine how chaotic it was?” Guan Tang asked as she looked at Jiahui.
