Chapter 2443 Sea View, You Should Retire!
Chapter 2443
“I didn’t really want to do this, but I had no other choice.”
"I didn't have this idea before I received today's DNA test results. Although I like Qiao Ya very much, I will not force her to do things she doesn't want to do because of the family business."
"What kind of man Qiao Ya is looking for is not particularly important to me, because our Qiao family can afford to support one person."
"As long as this person doesn't harbor malicious intentions, isn't utterly wicked, and won't bully my granddaughter, I won't object!"
"Everyone thinks that the threshold for joining the Qiao family is very high, and it is not easy to become a member of the Qiao family. But I know very well that as long as my children are willing, I will not object."
"But it's different now."
Grandpa Qiao took out the DNA test results and placed them in front of Hai Jing, saying:
“This man is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He wants to steal everything from my Qiao family and even kill my granddaughter.”
“Over the years, he has tried to harm my granddaughter several times, and I am not unaware of this.”
"But before, I thought that they were father and daughter after all, so what could I do even if I took action? I could only send people to protect Xiaoya and try to get her to a safe place. I always thought that even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cub."
"I thought that one day she might have a change of heart, but now I'm in despair."
"We cannot leave everything of the Qiao family to that wolf in sheep's clothing. He has done such a thing and has controlled most of the Qiao family's resources for so many years."
"Even if I wanted to take power from him now, it wouldn't be easy, after all, he is the head of the Qiao family."
"If it weren't for this era, this time, it wouldn't matter if the Qiao family were wiped out."
"I'll leave some money for my granddaughter so she can marry into a good family."
"I've come this far through life, starting from scratch. Even if I go bankrupt and lose everything when I'm old, I can accept it."
"However, at this critical juncture, everything concerning the Qiao family may have a certain impact on the future return of Hong Kong."
"I don't want the return of my motherland, which I've longed for for most of my life, to be ruined by a beast I raised."
At this point, the old man could no longer hold back his tears and broke down in sobs.
His sobs were muffled and echoed in the room.
The sight of Hai Jing crying also made me feel a pang of sadness.
If we put ourselves in his shoes, if he were the old master of the Qiao family, he probably wouldn't be much better off now; he might even vomit blood and faint.
It's possible she could be so angry she'd die.
However, the old master of the Qiao family calmly accepted it and began to think of a solution.
It must be said that there's a reason he became Hong Kong's richest man.
I cried for a while.
Haijing still couldn't bear it, so she took a handkerchief from the drawer and handed it to the old man, gesturing for him to wipe his tears.
The old man sniffed and spoke again:
“My granddaughter is very capable, but I know very well that she can’t take over the entire Qiao family.”
"If she were to fight alone, even if she managed to take over the Qiao family and prevent it from declining, that would be quite an achievement, let alone seizing power!"
"The Qiao family's business is very large, involving many aspects and even some underground networks."
"Of course, I can tell you clearly that our Qiao family will not do anything immoral or immoral, and we will never get involved in smuggling or drug trafficking."
"But you should know very well that when you're out in the world, you're bound to get hurt sometimes."
“It would be difficult for our family to withdraw now. In short, it’s a behemoth that can’t just collapse.”
“Joya alone cannot handle all of this.”
Having said that, Haijing understood what he meant. He wasn't looking down on his profession and that's why he was asking him to retire. Rather, he needed him to be a support for Qiaoya, and Qiaoya needed him to fight alongside her.
He looked up at the old man and said, "So, you want me to leave the army, marry Qiao Ya, and take over the Qiao family."
The old man nodded and said, "As long as you don't betray Joa."
"It doesn't matter who manages the household, the Qiao family will ultimately be inherited by your bloodline. Besides, the process of fighting against that beast is also very dangerous."
The old man chatted with Haijing in the office for more than an hour. When he came out, the old man looked somewhat listless and seemed to have aged 10 years in an instant.
He went to the guest room with his hands behind his back.
Haijing didn't leave. After the old man left, Haijing sat alone in the living room.
Seeing that his son hadn't come out, Hai Rongtian became somewhat worried.
He looked at Jia Haixia and said, "Why don't you go and see how your son is?"
"I felt like he had something on his mind today."
Jia Haixia glanced at him and said, "I can't handle this. It's all outside business. I can only manage the kitchen and my own little corner of the house. If you want to know what year an antique is from, that's fine, but I really can't do anything else."
Hai Rongtian glanced at her sullenly and said, "If you're not going, I will."
No matter what, he's the son she raised herself, how could she not feel sorry for him?
Although he didn't know what had happened, he instinctively felt that his son must be very sad and in pain, and perhaps needed his help.
When Hai Rongtian entered, Hai Jing was still sitting in the same spot, holding a cup of tea but not drinking it. His eyes were staring straight into the void, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Sitting opposite him, Hai Rongtian saw his son staring blankly into space and couldn't help but feel a little lost in thought.
He thought of Hai Jing when he was a child, when Hai Jing was only three years old.
Even though he couldn't read, he could sit there and think things through with a serious frown.
Hai Rongtian asked him, "What are you thinking about?"
The answer from the seascape viewpoint is:
"When I saw those older brothers training in the military camp today..."
"I don't understand why they're chanting slogans while training. Isn't that incredibly tiring?"
"If we don't talk, can we conserve some energy so that we can train more intensely?"
Hai Rongtian never expected his son to ask such a question.
This question was surprisingly difficult for him to answer because it involved a lot of complex issues.
If he were to speak it aloud, how could a three-year-old possibly understand?
Hai Rongtian remained silent.
Three-year-old Haijing sighed sadly and said:
"It seems Dad doesn't know why either. In that case, let's just forget about it and pretend I didn't ask."
After hearing what he said, Hai Rongtian found it hard to refuse. He then began to explain to Hai Jing in detail, from the team's cohesion to the natural release of energy during training, all the way to the traditional culture of the military.
After he painstakingly spent an hour explaining the issue, he finally managed to clarify it.
Haijing blinked at him and quietly said, "Dad, everything you've said can be summed up in one sentence."
"That's military regulation."
These few words left Hai Rongtian speechless.
