Chapter 545: Chapter 545: Could There Be Unspeakable Secrets

"Unless what?"

Li Feng looked at Wang Jin’er who seemed hesitant to speak, he was also curious about how she could make Wang Tiandao agree to switch from him marrying into the family to them marrying off their daughter.

The reason Wang Tiandao wanted Li Feng to marry into the family was simple; his main branch only had Wang Jin’er as a single daughter, and if she were to marry, the sonless main branch would inevitably have to relinquish the position of Family Head.

Families like the Wangs that are still rooted in traditional inheritance views advocate passing on the family line to sons rather than daughters, clearly distinguishing between legitimate and illegitimate offspring.

Despite this contrasting with current social norms, these noble families stubbornly maintained this tradition, using it as their standard to differentiate their lineage from common folk.

Wang Jin’er’s face turned red: "You guessed but still ask."

"What have I guessed?"

"If you can’t guess, never mind." Wang Jin’er certainly wasn’t about to mention plans like turning a pregnancy into a marriage.

She would let her father deal with the difficulty first.

"Actually, I do have an idea." Li Feng looked at Wang Jin’er, who looked back at him in surprise: "You have an idea?"

"What is the idea, let’s hear it."

This guy, he couldn’t have thought of the same thing as her, right? If so, she absolutely couldn’t agree, Wang Jin’er thought bashfully.

"Have your dad have a second child, what do you think about that?" As soon as Li Feng spoke, he stunned Wang Jin’er.

"Have my dad have a second child?"

Wang Jin’er looked at Li Feng dumbfounded: "You, how could you come up with that, my dad is over fifty."

"Jin’er, first tell me, has your dad stayed unmarried because he’s worried about you being mistreated, still pining for your mother, or is there some other unspeakable reason?"

Wang Jin’er looked at Li Feng, not knowing how to respond: "How would I know such things?"

"And you, if your dad were to find you a young stepmother, would you agree?"

Wang Jin’er was silent for a long while.

"Frankly, I wouldn’t want that, but from a reasonable standpoint, I wouldn’t object. My dad has really had a rough time, because he hasn’t married for many years. Now, for my sake, he’s even ready to confront the entire Wang family."

"My dad just wants me to inherit the Wang family business and keep it going generation after generation." Wang Jin’er knew what her father thought, although she didn’t want to inherit the Wang family business or become the Family Head, as a daughter, she couldn’t ignore her father’s dedication.

"Alright, leave this matter to me, even if you marry me, you won’t become the head of the Wang family."

"My uncles won’t agree, and neither will my grandmother."

Wang Jin’er shook her head.

"They will agree, and they will approve."

Li Feng stated decisively, for nothing is impossible in the face of absolute power.

Jin City, a certain clubhouse.

"Master Li, Miss, the old master is inside the clubhouse, please follow me."

"The old master, Master Li and the Miss have arrived."

"Let them in."

"Dad."

Wang Jin’er entered the study.

Hmph.

Wang Tiandao scoffed softly: "As the saying goes, a grown daughter can’t be kept at home. You flew all the way to Jin City in the middle of the night and you didn’t even call me. If it weren’t for the family noticing, I’d still be in the dark."

"Dad, I just wanted to surprise you."

"Surprise? I’d say it’s more of a fright." Wang Tiandao glanced at Li Feng, then turned to Wang Jin’er, "The tea has gone cold, go fetch me a new pot."

Wang Jin’er nodded understandingly, realizing her father wanted to speak with Li Feng alone. She picked up the teapot and winked at Li Feng as she turned around.

"Uncle, your calligraphy really has taken on the flair of a master."

Wang Tiandao scoffed coldly and put down his brush, "Spare me the flattery, you think a few nice words will get you off the hook?"

"Uncle, why not just say what you want to say?"

"So, you’re planning to split up Century Group and sell it off?" Wang Tiandao didn’t mince his words, he clearly had many grievances with Li Feng.

Century Group was a lucrative asset, and the Wang Family had been eyeing it greedily. Initially, he had planned to extend a helping hand to Li Feng in order to get involved with Century Group, but this young man maneuvered cleverly and succeeded in his plans.

His calculations had fallen through, and if that was it, surely it would be fine, but then this young man arrived in Jin City and by the next day, rumors spread that Li Feng, the prodigal son, wanted to break up Century Group and package it for sale.

That was an opportunity worth several hundreds of billions.

"Uncle, want to get involved too?"

Li Feng narrowed his eyes at Wang Tiandao, who snorted, "When there’s a chance to make money, you don’t keep it within the family, but choose to give it to outsiders, do you think that’s appropriate?"

"Uncle, Jin’er and I are family, and so are you and I, but I can’t say the same for me and the Wang Family."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Uncle, I’ll be frank then, marrying into the Wang family was something you discussed with my father."

"Do you have a problem with that?"

Li Feng smiled, "Marrying in is out of the question, I’ll marry Jin’er but I’ll never marry into the Wang Family!"

"If you want to marry my daughter, you have to marry into the Wang Family, there’s no negotiation!"

Wang Tiandao stared at Li Feng with an undeniable command in his eyes.

"Uncle, must we arm-wrestle over this?"

Li Feng met Wang Tiandao’s gaze, and Wang Tiandao suddenly laughed loudly, "Li family boy, have you become so arrogant, thinking now that you’re chairman of Century Group, you have the right to haggle with me?"

"Even if you were to hand over Century Group to me, my words stand, if you want to marry my daughter, you must marry into the Wang Family."

"Talking about arm-wrestling, what makes you think you have the strength to challenge me? If your father heard this, he’d slap you directly in the face, believe it or not."

Li Feng shrugged, "I am me, he is him, he can’t decide for me, not in the past, not now, and not in the future either."

"Wow, those are tough words. Even when your father is trying to curry favor with my family, you want to challenge me, where do you get the courage from?"

"Uncle, you want me to marry into the Wang family so that Jin’er can inherit, but this isn’t an unsolvable problem," Li Feng said.

"What do you mean?"

"As long as you, uncle, have another child, and it’s a boy, wouldn’t that solve everything?"

Li Feng watched Wang Tiandao’s expression, Wang Tiandao’s eye twitched, "I think you’re asking for a beating."

Wang Tiandao grabbed a paperweight from the table and hurled it at Li Feng, who dared to suggest such a thing. He was nearly sixty, and here was this young man suggesting he have another child.

Li Feng caught the thrown paperweight and looked at Wang Tiandao.

"Uncle, if you have any difficulties you can’t discuss, you can tell me, I have some medical knowledge and might be able to help you."

This time, Wang Tiandao’s face darkened completely, "Difficulties, difficulties my ass."
