Chapter 359: Chapter 359: Begging for Mercy with a Wagging Tail

"What are you talking about! That is the blood, sweat, and tears of several generations of the Sheng Family." Sheng Hong said loudly, looking at Sheng Wenhao with an incredulous expression.

"But what does any of this have to do with me?" Sheng Wenhao raised an eyebrow, replying nonchalantly.

"You are also a member of the Sheng Family. The blood of the Sheng Family flows in your veins. Aren’t you afraid of having no face to meet our ancestors after you die? How will you explain yourself to your deceased relatives?" Sheng Hong said emotionally, his voice even breaking at times.

"What does that have to do with me?" Sheng Wenhao raised an eyebrow, speaking indifferently.

Sheng Hong’s expression froze, as if he hadn’t expected Sheng Wenhao to have such an attitude.

"In your life, the most important things to you are heritage and the Sheng Group. But what do those have to do with me? I am alone in this world. If I have a girl I like, we’ll be together. If not, I’ll live my life freely. As for the Sheng Group, I never thought of inheriting it. I’ve always been interested in photography and painting. I have no interest in business from start to finish, nor do I have any business acumen. It’s like during exams, even if you give me the book, I still can’t find the answers." Sheng Wenhao crossed his legs and brushed off imaginary dust from his leg as he spoke.

"So I have never felt a sense of belonging to the Sheng Group, nor do I rely on it for a living. Destroying it would have no effect on me." Sheng Wenhao said with a mocking smile.

Upon hearing Sheng Wenhao’s words, Sheng Hong was left dumbfounded. He could see in Sheng Wenhao’s eyes that he genuinely didn’t care, didn’t care about everything the Sheng Group had.

Sheng Hong suddenly felt his life had become ridiculous. He even found it hard to understand why he had previously gone to such lengths to take action. Everything he now possessed would have belonged to him in the end even if he had done nothing; it was only a matter of time.

Sheng Hong’s face showed a smile uglier than crying. Sheng Wenhao’s face, drained of all expression, was like that of a robot stripped of all emotions, with not the slightest trace of human emotion in his face or eyes as he watched Sheng Hong slowly shed tears.

Sheng Hong tremulously extended his hands, looked at his blurry hands with tear-filled eyes, and softly asked, "Since you had no interest in the Sheng Group, why didn’t you tell me earlier?"

Sheng Wenhao let out a mocking laugh, "Would you have believed me if I had told you?"

"You’re right, I wouldn’t have believed you. How could I have been so blinded at that time? Why was I so possessed back then? Why was that? Over the years, I often think of the days when both our families lived together. Those were the happiest moments of my life, yet I personally shattered them. I regret it! If I could do it all over again, I would cherish those days and never make foolish mistakes again." Sheng Hong covered his face and started to sob.

Sheng Wenhao watched with a mocking look at Sheng Hong’s hunched figure.

"I’m serious, if I could start over, I would cherish it. I truly regret it, Wenhao. Can you forgive me? Could you give me a chance to make amends? From today on, I’ll treat you like my own son. Let’s forget all the unhappy things from the past, shall we?" Sheng Hong looked at Sheng Wenhao with a hopeful and pleading gaze.

"I know I’ve done many things to hurt you, and it’s hard for you to believe me, but I hope you can give me a chance to make it right. Time will prove everything, it will prove that what I’m saying now is truly from my heart." Sheng Hong covered his chest, his eyes becoming sincere and determined.

"Alright, let’s give ourselves a chance to reconcile. I admit everything I have now was stolen from your parents. I’m willing to return it. From now on, I’ll support your pursuits. I can even draft a will now, stating that everything I own will belong to you after I die. Then, you can do whatever you want with the Sheng Group." Sheng Hong looked at Sheng Wenhao, his eyes full of hope.

"The reason I can’t give it to you now is you lack management experience. If you change your mind and want the Sheng Group, you can tell me. I’ll then familiarize you with the company’s processes, and once you can handle it on your own, I’ll return the Sheng Group to you immediately. The reason I’m saying all this and not giving you the Sheng Group now is not because I’m holding onto power, but because I can’t face our ancestors without remorse. After all, the Sheng Group is the legacy of several generations of our family. I can’t just watch it go to ruin. Can you understand me?" Sheng Hong looked at Sheng Wenhao with hopeful eyes.

If today the person sitting in front of him were a man with a slightly softer heart, he would be swayed by the man sitting in front of him and perhaps abandon his revenge plan. But in front of him sat Sheng Wenhao, who had been sent to a foreign country and forced to take drugs, witnessing the warmth and coldness of human nature and deception, rather than the once romantic and innocent Sheng Wenhao.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!" Sheng Wenhao started clapping his hands, causing Sheng Hong’s expression to become slightly stiff.

"As expected of President Sheng Hong. My parents lost to you for a reason." Sheng Wenhao said with a sigh on his face.

"But I am not my parents. Do you think I’d be foolish enough to give someone who’s hurt me once a second chance to harm me?" Sheng Wenhao said with a smirk.

"Aren’t you underestimating me? Do you think shedding a few crocodile tears and offering an apology is enough for me to forgive you? Don’t be naive. When I said I’d destroy you and the Sheng Family, I wasn’t just joking." Sheng Wenhao laughed a few times before speaking slowly.

Sheng Wenhao watched with satisfaction as Sheng Hong’s facial expression changed like a face-changing act in Sichuan opera. Sheng Wenhao’s expression of triumph grew even stronger, and he couldn’t help but laugh out loud again.

"Today is indeed a special day, getting to watch a face-changing act for free. It’s not a wasted trip." Sheng Wenhao spoke slowly.

Sheng Hong’s expression changed several times, and finally, his eyes became determined. He no longer looked at Sheng Wenhao but turned all his attention to Xu Ke.

"President Xu, I know Sheng Wenhao can speak to me like this because you must have supported him. I don’t know what he promised you to make you help him this way, but I can offer you more. Don’t you want the two pieces of land I have? I can give them to you at the lowest price." Sheng Hong looked at Xu Ke with a nervous and apprehensive gaze, hoping Xu Ke would stand by his side in front of Sheng Wenhao.

But who in this world is a fool?

Xu Ke wrapped his arm around Lin Mengyao’s shoulders and gave a light laugh. "President Sheng, you’re joking. The two pieces of land you mentioned are already in my pocket." Xu Ke said softly.
