"Hereditary medical history?"
Sheng Chenjin froze, clearly not expecting his son to have a hereditary disease.
He fell silent.
He knew a professor at a medical college, a doctor of exceptional skill, arguably the most outstanding young talent in the contemporary medical community, whose medical expertise surpassed that of anyone in China.
He wanted his son to seek treatment for his mental illness, but his son refused, unwilling to accept treatment.
"Alas!!"
Sheng Chenjin sighed and said, "Never mind, we'll discuss this later!!"
"Mhm!!"
General Manager Gu nodded lightly.
The two chatted a few more words about the wedding. General Manager Gu said, "Since Chairman Sheng is in Nanshi, let's hold the banquet at Nanhai Tower!!"
"Alright!!"
...
Nanhai Tower, a luxurious private room. General Manager Gu hosted a grand banquet to entertain Sheng Chenjin.
During the meal, Sheng Chenjin was witty and humorous, making General Manager Gu roar with laughter and increasing his satisfaction with Sheng Chenjin.
After eating and drinking to their fill, General Manager Gu saw off Sheng Chenjin and was preparing to retire to his room when he saw a man in his mid-twenties walk in.
He exclaimed in surprise, "Young Master Ming, why have you come?"
"Just came to hang out."
"Oh, I see."
General Manager Gu understood and said with a smile, "Young Master Ming, please come in!!"
Gu Mingyang walked in with a cold expression. General Manager Gu hurriedly instructed the waiter to serve the food.
At the same time, General Manager Gu said, "Young Master Ming, don't just stand there, have some food."
"Hmph!!"
Gu Mingyang snorted coldly, sat down, and said with a somber face, "Dad, how could you sell my sister?"
General Manager Gu said bitterly, "Young Master Ming! It's not that I sold your sister, but she wouldn't listen to my advice and was determined to divorce that good-for-nothing."
Gu Mingyang said, "Then let her divorce him! Anyway, I don't expect her to support me in my old age."
General Manager Gu shook his head, "Mingyang! How can you think like that? If your sister doesn't look after you, who will? Won't you feel lonely?"
Gu Mingyang said, "Dad, you're so capable, you can take care of me completely. You don't need anyone else to worry about."
General Manager Gu said, "I can't. I'm old, and my health is deteriorating. I can't take care of you for much longer. Only your sister can look after you for me."
"When you start a family and establish yourself, and have your own small family, parental care will be even more important. Parental care is the foundation for a man's growth."
"Moreover, your sister has already agreed to marry my son. As long as you agree, I'll have you divorce your sister immediately and change your surname to Chen."
"No... impossible!!" Gu Mingyang refused decisively.
General Manager Gu said sternly, "Mingyang, you can't be so willful. I've already decided that once your sister divorces you, you will change your surname to Chen and become a part of the Chen Group from now on."
"How can that be?"
Gu Mingyang said excitedly, "Dad, I'm your son. How can a son change his name and surname? If I change my name and surname, wouldn't I become an illegitimate child?"
"I don't want to, I won't change my name and surname even if I'm beaten to death."
"You..."
General Manager Gu was furious.
He knew his son was unwilling to change his name and surname, but he hadn't expected that his son not only refused but also threw back his own words.
He said with disappointment, "You don't want it, but I do. You are my son, and I must leave you something to protect yourself. Otherwise, if I'm gone one day, who will take care of you?"
"Don't worry, during the time I'm not around, I'll hand over the company to you to manage. I won't treat you unfairly."
Gu Mingyang said sarcastically, "Are you trying to sell the company?"
"That's right, sell it."
General Manager Gu admitted, "The money we've earned over the years is enough for the two of us to spend. There's no need to stay in this city and look at other people's faces."
Gu Mingyang roared, "Dad, I don't agree! I won't allow you to sell the Gu Group."
General Manager Gu said, "On what grounds can you forbid me?"
Gu Mingyang said, "On the grounds that my surname is Gu, that this office building was bought for me by my grandfather, and on the grounds of your current position and my grandfather's will."
"Your grandfather passed away early, and the inheritance could not be determined. However, my grandfather had a will before he died, stating that after raising me to adulthood, eighty percent of the assets in the will must be left to me, and the remaining thirty percent to my brother."
"Dad, if you dare to sell the company and sell it to someone else, I guarantee you won't even get twenty percent of the assets."
"I know you like to do charity work and want to use these assets to help your friends, but I warn you, don't do anything foolish."
General Manager Gu said, "Mingyang, I know you are filial and cannot bear to see the wealth I have painstakingly accumulated be taken away by others. But don't forget, our family is not short of money, and your sister is not short of money."
"We don't ask for much now. We just hope you have a good future. We hope you marry a girl of equal social standing and live a happy life."
"As for money, we don't care. We just don't want you to live in pain and torment. Do you understand?"
"I don't understand, I just know I won't change my mind," Gu Mingyang stated unequivocally.
General Manager Gu was silent for a moment and then said, "Mingyang, you are too stubborn."
"If you don't change your name and household registration, you will always be surnamed Gu and will continue to be an illegitimate child."
"Are you truly content with that?"
"What if I'm not content?"
Gu Mingyang said bitterly, "Will I gain happiness just by changing my name and household registration? No, that's impossible. I still can't escape people's strange glances."
"Even, I feel that these strange glances are even more intense than before, because before, I didn't need to hide my surname and could live openly, but now..."
"Sigh!!"
Gu Mingyang sighed deeply, his heart filled with helplessness and sorrow.
Was this his fate? Unwilling, yet powerless to change it.
General Manager Gu was silent for a long time and said, "Mingyang, it's not impossible to not change your name and household registration, but you have to promise me one thing."
"What?" Gu Mingyang asked blankly.
General Manager Gu said, "You divorce your sister, and then bring her back to Binhe with me."
Gu Mingyang said, "That's impossible. My sister will definitely not leave with me."
"She won't go with you?"
General Manager Gu sneered, "Nothing is impossible in this world. Your sister is just temporarily confused. If you explain it to her clearly, she will go with you."
Gu Mingyang shook his head firmly, "No, I won't explain to her. I won't let her hurt my sister."
"Bastard!!"
General Manager Gu was furious, "Mingyang, are you defying your father?"
"No..."
"Since you're not, why are you unwilling to explain to your sister?"
"I..."
Gu Mingyang was speechless.
Yes, why didn't he explain to his sister and make her turn back, thus preventing this scene from happening?
Unfortunately, he didn't know how to explain. After all, he was a man, and he couldn't say it, he was too embarrassed to say it.
