Chapter 110 Zheng's Father is Furious: Is Zheng Tian a Fool?

The Su Family naturally learned of this news as well.

Although they no longer enjoyed their past prosperity, the Su Family still retained some connections. Upon hearing the news, the Su Parents sighed.

"Sigh, the Zhou Family really picked up a bargain."

"Who's to say otherwise? Now that the Zhou Family is with Zheng Jie, they will definitely get a slice of the pie through the vast, high-quality projects of the Zheng Group. Their rise to prosperity is just around the corner."

When Father Su said this, his tone was full of envy. After all, the Su Family had fallen quite far, and this was all because they had coerced their daughter into divorcing Zheng Jie. If they had known this would be the outcome, they certainly wouldn't have let their daughter choose divorce.

At that time, in the eyes of the Su Family, with the return of Zheng Tian, the Zheng Family would surely hand over the position of President of the Zheng Group to him. Who could have imagined that over the past few years, Zheng Jie had set such a massive trap, forcibly seizing the position of Chairman of the Zheng Group for himself? Now, there were no longer any Zheng Group shares left within the Zheng Family.

"Forget it. There's no point in talking about this now. As long as our daughter is happy from now on, that's all that matters. After all, her reputation hasn't been ruined yet. In the future, if she meets a guy with good conditions, she can still start a new life."

They no longer wanted to struggle. Over the past few months, they had felt nothing but despair. After that despair, they felt that this current life wasn't too bad. Everything had settled, and there were over 2 billion in the family account. While this money was a drop in the bucket compared to the past, as long as they didn't touch stocks or start a business, they would never be able to spend all of it in this lifetime.

"That's true. At least we're better off than Zheng Tian right now."

Zheng Tian had been completely crushed into the dust. He had no relationship with the Zheng Group whatsoever, and he had become a eunuch. In such a situation, with his reputation ruined, there was simply no possibility of him ever making a comeback.

Inside her bedroom, Su Qiaoer looked at the various messages coming in and recalled what her friends had told her. Her heart felt a complex mix of emotions. At the time, she really hadn't expected the situation to turn out this way. The better the other party lived, the more it seemed to prove how wrong her original choice had been.

Unknowingly, Su Qiaoer's eyes turned slightly red, and tears gradually began to fall.

...

That afternoon, Mrs. Zheng arrived at the meeting room of the Detention Center. Today, she was coming to see Father Zheng. While waiting for him to arrive, Mrs. Zheng felt a bit nervous. She didn't know how he would react after she told him about these matters.

But even so, she had to say it.

Time ticked away bit by bit. A dozen minutes later, the door to the meeting room opened. The next second, Father Zheng walked in from outside. The moment Father Zheng saw Mrs. Zheng, his brows furrowed tightly, because her face was utterly exhausted with heavy dark circles. It was clear that she hadn't rested properly for a long time.

"Have you not been resting well lately? Did something happen?"

Under the current circumstances, how could Mrs. Zheng possibly have time to rest? No sooner had one matter ended than another arose, and her son had even become a eunuch. How were people in their circle mocking them? Although she hadn't heard it to her face, she knew it all too well.

"A lot has happened outside during this period, and some things are beyond what you could possibly imagine."

Upon hearing this, Father Zheng frowned tightly.

"What is it? What exactly happened?"

At this moment, Mrs. Zheng didn't know where to start. After all, too many things had happened recently. Any single one of these events would weigh on a family like Mount Tai, and yet all of them were happening to their family simultaneously.

"Su Qiaoer made Zheng Tian... into a eunuch."

After hesitating for a very, very long time, Mrs. Zheng finally blurted out the core issue. This event had changed many of their plans, and it was precisely because of this that they ultimately chose to compromise with the Su Family, wasting all of their advantages.

The moment Father Zheng heard this, his face was filled with shock. His brain seemed to freeze, completely unable to comprehend what she was saying.

"What?"

"It's just that..."

Mrs. Zheng hesitated for a moment, then recounted the whole sequence of events. The moment he heard that Su Qiaoer's actions were considered self-defense, Father Zheng's face turned bright red—not from shyness, but from rage.

"She turned my son into this, yet it's considered self-defense? What exactly does the Su Family mean by this? Are they really that shameless?"

"I've already communicated with the lawyers, and their stance is the same. For Su Qiaoer, this matter is considered self-defense. The Su Family is even using this to threaten us. If we don't choose to drop the lawsuit and settle, they will directly choose to sue Zheng Tian. What do you expect me to do? Should I just watch helplessly as Zheng Tian is thrown into the Detention Center?"

"Why did Zheng Tian do this? Doesn't he know that we finally had some advantages? By doing this, he has directly squandered all of our advantages, and on top of that, he himself..."

Father Zheng's anger toward Zheng Tian had reached its peak. In his view, his eldest son was simply foolish to have done such a thing; he was nothing short of an idiot.

He was completely disappointed in Zheng Tian. At other times, he could do whatever he wanted, and the family could back him up. But in this situation, choosing to vent his own desires and ending up like this made Father Zheng feel that Zheng Tian was simply hopeless.

Never mind the money; he had become a eunuch, and now the other party hadn't faced any punishment at all. This was simply self-inflicted ruin.

"The situation is what it is, so I had no choice but to reconcile with the Su Family. The Su Family won't sue Zheng Tian, but we must agree to the divorce and drop the case involving Su Chemical. On that basis, they will give us 2 billion in compensation, and everything will end there."

Father Zheng took a deep breath.

"I understand. It seems this is the only way."

Although he was very angry with his eldest son, he was still his eldest son, whom he had raised from childhood. How could he bear to watch his own son enter Prison?

After all, he had spent time in Prison himself. In there, you lose all freedom, and someone is watching you every single minute and second. He himself found it hard to accept, let alone his eldest son, who had lived a life of luxury since childhood.

"Then what about the issue of children?"

"I've thought about it. Doesn't Zheng Tian have two illegitimate children abroad? So, I had someone bring those two illegitimate children back. That way, our child won't be left without descendants; at the very least, there are two children."

"Are you talking about those two black children?"

"Yes, those two. According to the doctors, our child no longer has any possibility of reproduction, so apart from these two children, Zheng Tian will not have any other children. I had no choice but to do this. However, the children are still quite young. If we raise them well, maybe they can make something of themselves."

Father Zheng clenched his fists. He felt nothing but stifled rage. His family had always been quite prominent in the circle with a very good reputation. But who could have imagined it would turn out like this? Using black children as heirs to his entire family was a source of utter humiliation; the circle would likely treat them as a laughingstock.

"How is Zheng Tian now?"

"He's doing okay. He is currently recovering in the Hospital, though his spirits are a bit low. I'm thinking that after a while, once he is discharged, I'll take him to travel elsewhere, away from this circle and away from those strange looks. Maybe that will help Zheng Tian feel a little better."

This idea of Mrs. Zheng's was merely her comforting herself. The reason was simple: this matter had trended on the hot search. This meant that no matter where they went, as long as there were people and internet access, Zheng Tian would be recognized.

If they wanted to completely change this situation, there was only one way: plastic surgery. As long as he got plastic surgery so that no one could recognize who he was, he wouldn't be mocked.

"Zheng Tian really has no brain. Putting himself in such a position—forget it. What's the point of talking about this now? It's good that the matter is resolved. As for those two children, you must raise them well. They are now our family's last heirs."

Although he couldn't accept this, there was no other better solution now. After thinking about it, Father Zheng could only nod, effectively agreeing to it.

"During this period, I have also been in contact with the Bank and relevant departments. Their requirement is for us to compensate them as soon as possible. After the compensation is paid, your sentence might be slightly shorter. I think we must get the money to them quickly; we cannot delay any longer."

Mrs. Zheng's attitude was still that they should do everything possible to get Father Zheng out as quickly as possible. Spending some money was fine; after all, even after giving that money to the other party, their family still had a 10-digit fortune.

"Fine. Since it has already come to this, let's just pay the compensation honestly. Ever since losing the position of Chairman of the Zheng Group, we have been quite unlucky. Things like this never happened before, but ever since Zheng Tian returned, it has been a streak of bad luck."

Father Zheng had been in the Detention Center the whole time. Since there was nothing else to do, he kept reflecting on the past and every event from this period. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the reason for all of this was that Zheng Tian had returned. Before Zheng Tian returned, the entire Zheng Group was thriving, with countless projects being pushed forward, and every project had immense potential. At that time, the Zheng Family and the Zheng Group could truly be said to be infinitely glorious.

Everyone in the circle would flatter and fawn over them, hoping to get a slice of the pie from these projects. But ever since Zheng Tian returned, everything changed. That 10% stake in the beginning changed everyone's destiny. If not for that 10%, I'm afraid Zheng Jie really wouldn't have had any particularly good way to obtain so many shares.

"What's the point of talking about this now? Besides, Zheng Tian is very upset right now. Next time, I will bring Zheng Tian with me, so please don't say these things in front of him."

"Fine. Besides Zheng Tian, how is Zheng Jie doing?"

"Zheng Jie... I heard he might be getting together with Zhou Ya, the daughter of the Zhou Family. Both sides are choosing to join forces. It has already spread throughout the entire circle. As for when, it hasn't been decided yet; I assume both sides are currently in contact."

What else could Father Zheng say? He could only nod. Now, everything was out of his control. All he could control was whether he chose to zone out or work diligently while laboring in the Detention Center.

"During this time, I think you'd better contact a Psychologist to talk with Zheng Tian. Having experienced so many things, I'm worried that Zheng Tian's mental health might have issues. We can't wait until it's too late to think about it; we must make preparations in advance."

"Rest assured, I will make preparations. I will definitely find a Psychologist. Zheng Tian is my last hope for living now. If anything else happens to him, I don't know how I would go on living."

"Hmm..."

Father Zheng nodded and then fell silent. He needed time to digest these matters. Originally, he thought the situation outside would be better, but looking at it now, he was truly too naive. His foolish eldest son had squandered all their advantages. He didn't know how he, a shrewd person, could have fathered such a stupid son.

"Too many things have happened, so you might feel devastated, but you must hold on and look on the bright side. After this period passes, things will be better. At the very least, we still have over ten billion in our Bank account."

"Now, let's raise these two children well, and then we can find a place where no one recognizes us and live a good life."

Father Zheng could only comfort Mrs. Zheng at this moment, but it was very clear that Zheng Jie would not let them off easily. Although these people were already very unlucky, he was prepared to make them even more miserable.
