Chapter 50 Song Family
Teng Siting roared angrily: "Have you forgotten what I told you?" His voice was deafening, as if it could penetrate the wall.
At this moment, the warning sounds of the instruments were getting louder and louder. However, Teng Canxun was so scolded that he didn't dare to raise his head or move at all.
"How many times have I emphasized to you that you must not get involved in any trouble related to the Lan family!" Teng Si Ting widened his eyes, flashing with anger and disappointment.
"Isn't the lesson of the Chai family deep enough?" His tone became more severe, as if he remembered the frightening past. "A big family like the Chai family that has been rooted in Xianghong for a hundred years, once it angered Lan Yonggui, it still declared bankruptcy within half a year. How dare you run into such bad luck?"
Facing his father's questioning, Teng Canxun weakly defended himself: "But this time it was the Song family that invested in our family... and it was the Song family, a noble family, and it was the heir of the Song family who asked me to investigate." However, his explanation did not calm Teng Siting's anger.
Teng Siting said with great sorrow: "I have told you countless times that with the current strength of our family, we don't need to get involved with those aristocratic families!" He slapped the side of the bed hard, making a loud noise.
"I don't expect you to make great progress. I just hope you can keep this family business. You are clearly being used by others!" Teng Siting scolded, "Back then, Song Yunzhou, the head of the Song family, went to Linhai City, but was embarrassed by Lan Yonggui and had to return to Wuhan in disgrace. The hatred between the two families is known to everyone. How could you be so stupid as to make such a low-level mistake?"
Teng Canxun opened his mouth and wanted to make some more excuses: "Father, I..."
However, before he could finish his words, Teng Siting shouted at him, "Shut up!"
Teng Siting looked at his son with an angry face, and said with regret: "Although I know that you have limited talent in business, I think your ability should be more than enough to keep this family business."
"As long as the next generation grows up and takes over your position smoothly, the family business can continue to develop steadily. But who knew you would be so stupid as to make such a mistake!"
The more he spoke, the angrier he became. Teng Siting couldn't help coughing a few times. After calming down a little, he continued, "Do you really think the Song family will help? Don't be naive! They are extremely shrewd businessmen, and they are best at weighing the pros and cons and protecting themselves. Once they realize that the situation is not good, they will definitely give up certain things without hesitation to protect themselves. Now it is our Teng family that has been abandoned like a worn-out shoe!"
Teng Si Ting became more and more agitated, his face turned red, and he kept coughing. It took him a while to catch his breath.
He sighed deeply, his tone full of regret and self-blame: "In terms of ability, the second son is far superior to you. But I consider you the eldest son, and I sincerely hope that you will inherit the family business."
"What a pity! One wrong step leads to all the wrong steps... Now the second brother has already moved overseas with his family, and our Teng family has fallen into such a predicament. It's all because of you! Why did I choose you in the first place..."
Teng Canxun once again lowered his head silently, feeling heavy in his heart. He deeply understood that what his father said was true, and when it came to business, he was indeed inferior to his younger brother.
Looking back, everyone in the family had high hopes for his younger brother, expecting him to take over the family business. However, in the end, it was his father who overruled everyone and resolutely decided to entrust this important task to himself.
At this moment, Teng Canxun couldn't help thinking: If my brother were in this position, he would never make such a low-level mistake! Who knows, with his outstanding talent and wisdom, he could lead the entire group to greater heights!
Thinking of this, Teng Canxun felt even more bitter. He felt that he had failed his father's expectations and regretted that he had alienated his brother because of his own faults.
Faced with the current predicament and the guilt towards his family, Teng Canxun fell into endless self-blame...
The Song family was in shock at this moment!
Song Yunzhou stared at his bruised daughter Song Chengjing with eyes wide open, and asked in a trembling voice: "What you said... is it true?"
At this moment, Song Chengjing's body was covered with wounds. Although they had been bandaged, they were still shocking.
Song Chengjing burst into tears and choked up as she replied, "Father, could it be that your daughter would deceive you?"
While crying, she told her father about the torture and humiliation she had suffered: "Seven or eight people dragged me into the alley and beat me up. Now I am covered with bruises and sobs..."
"They also questioned what our family wanted to do?" Song Chengjing burst into tears and continued, "My daughter was confused at the time and didn't understand what they were saying at all."
"Then, those people said that someone in our family was secretly investigating the movements of the heir of the Lan family. Not only that, they also threatened that if we want to continue the fight, we must do it openly. If we play any more conspiracies and tricks, they will have plenty of ways to deal with our Song family!"
At this point, Song Chengjing's crying became louder and sadder, and she almost fainted. "Father, what on earth have you done? Is there any problem that you can't solve properly?..."
When he heard the word "Lan Family", Song Yunzhou was extremely shocked. He stared at Song Chengjing with wide eyes, and his voice unconsciously rose eight degrees: "Which Lan Family? Is it the Lan Family of Su Su?"
At this time, Song Chengjing had already burst into tears. She just kept shaking her head and said with a sob: "I... I don't know either..."
Seeing this, Song Yunzhou quickly ordered the servant beside him: "Quick! Send the young lady back to her room to rest."
After the servants helped Song Chengjing leave, his face became extremely gloomy, and he said to himself indignantly: "This is really too much! How dare you come to our house for no reason and make trouble? Do you really think that our Song family is easy to bully!"
After saying that, Song Yunzhou strode into the study, took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
After the call was connected, he shouted at the other end without any politeness: "Hey! Second brother, come here right now!" Then he hung up the phone, sat down on the chair in front of the desk, and waited quietly for his brother to arrive.
Time passed by minute by minute, and after nearly an hour, Song Yunzhou's younger brother Song Yunke finally came to the study. As soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to ask: "Brother, what happened that made you call me here so urgently?"
Song Yunzhou frowned and asked seriously, "Have we had any friction or conflict with the Sulan family in our business recently?"
Hearing this, Song Yunke shook his head in confusion and replied, "No, we have kept to ourselves in recent years, so how could there be a conflict for no apparent reason?"
