Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

After learning the truth, Fu Zhenlong felt even more guilty and remorseful.

But the damage has already been done, and besides saying sorry, he doesn't know how to make amends.

He looked at He Qihan, unsure whether to be happy or sad that he had suddenly gained a son.

Wen Kerou kept looking at He Qihan.

It was the first time I'd seen someone so similar to Fu Zhengting, and I couldn't help but take a second look.

The expressions in their eyes and brows are remarkably similar; both have thick eyebrows, deep-set eyes, and strong brow bones.

However, their temperaments are completely different. Fu Zhengting is elegant, reserved, mature, and steady. Perhaps because of his cold and aloof gaze, he exudes a sense of detachment and indifference.

When He Qihan met Fu Zhenlong's gaze, although he tried to restrain himself, he couldn't bring himself to be friendly towards Fu Zhenlong.

Fu Zhenlong had mixed feelings; it was normal for his son to resent him.

After all, he had never given him fatherly love.

He never gave Ah Ting fatherly love.

He admitted that he was not a good father.

When I was young, I was too competitive. Seeing how well my brothers were doing, I lost my balance. I gained a career, but I also lost some precious things.

However, he was also somewhat angry that He Meijuan had given birth to this son without telling him.

After looking at He Meijuan carefully, he apologized again, "I can't deny the harm I caused you, but I didn't know you were pregnant at the time..."

He Meijuan interrupted with a cold laugh, "Even if you knew, would you choose to stay with me?"

Fu Zhenlong remained silent.

He really doesn't.

He Meijuan's sneer became even more mocking.

She won't see through men until she's been thoroughly hurt at least once.

Fu Zhenlong then asked, "So, you harbored resentment towards me, and secretly gave birth to my child?!"

He Meijuan didn't deny it, but raised her voice and said, "Yes, I'm just waiting for the day you're divorced and your children are gone, so I can appear in front of you with my son and see if you'll want your son or not!"

Fu Zhenlong got a little angry when he heard this.

He knew that women were very vengeful.

He experienced it with his ex-wife.

His ex-wife could be so cold to her own son, Ah Ting, just to get revenge on him.

Now his first love is retaliating against him in the same cruel way.

In the past, he could have decisively rejected this son.

But now, he has decided to teach Ah Ting a harsh lesson.

Just then, her first love appeared with her son.

A resentful thought lingered in my mind.

Then let this son be recognized as a member of the family, kick Ah Ting out, and let this son take over the Fu family business.

It can be considered a way of making up for my first love.

For a moment, everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere in the ward became very subtle.

He Meijuan was observing Fu Zhenlong, trying to guess his thoughts from his expression.

She was gambling that Fu Zhenlong was in a fit of anger and that there was a high probability that he would make his son acknowledge his ancestors.

She remained patient and did not rush to speak.

Since Fu Zhenlong is determined to sever his father-son relationship with Fu Zhengting, he is probably even more anxious than she is.

She wentaded him, saying, "Fu Zhenlong, I raised my son alone. It has nothing to do with you. I only brought my son to see if you were dead after I heard you were injured in a car accident. Even if you want to acknowledge my son, I will not let him acknowledge you. I don't care whether my son can inherit the Fu family's property. My son is very outstanding. He worked his way up from the bottom and is now a sought-after restaurant manager in the industry. He can make me live a good life on his own."

After finishing speaking in one breath, she grabbed He Qihan and left.

When Fu Zhenlong heard the last sentence, "Now a sought-after restaurant manager in the industry," his eyes lit up.

This profession is perfect for taking over the Fu family business.

He had already made the harsh statement, and he wouldn't allow himself to soften and take back his decision.

This son appeared at the perfect time!

His ex-wife is unlikely to remarry him. He might find a younger woman to have another child, but it's uncertain whether he'll be able to have a son on his first pregnancy, and he'll have to wait eighteen or twenty years for the child to grow up.

Choosing this son to take over the Fu family business is the most suitable course of action at present.

No matter what, he was determined to make that rebellious brat Ah Ting regret it!

If Ah Ting is going to turn against him for a woman, and Ah Ting regrets it and wants to come back to be the president of Fu's Group, he won't give Ah Ting another chance.

Seeing He Meijuan lead He Qihan out the door, he hurriedly said, "Meijuan, don't go yet."

He Meijuan stopped; she had made the right bet.

She glanced sideways at He Qihan, and their eyes both revealed victorious smiles.

She continued to feign indifference, without turning back. "I've said everything I needed to say. There's no need for me to stay."

As she spoke, she took a step as if she were about to leave again.

Fu Zhenlong couldn't get out of bed and was extremely anxious. He quickly said again, "Meijuan, you've already said that, shouldn't you give me a chance to speak my mind? You should also give me a chance to make amends to you and your son."

Overjoyed, He Meijuan slowly turned around, still looking at Fu Zhenlong with indifference, "How do you plan to make amends?"

Fu Zhenlong thought about it seriously and said frankly, "My injuries are very serious, and it will take at least one or two months to fully recover. Now, because of Ah Ting's girlfriend, our relationship has broken down. I believe you heard what happened when you pushed the door open just now. I am determined to teach Ah Ting a painful lesson and remove him from his position as president. It just so happens that..."

She looked at He Qihan, wondering what his son's name was, and said, "Our son will take over."

He Qi sneered, "Do you think I care? You'll make me take over when you need me, but when you don't, you probably won't even acknowledge me as your son, will you?"

"That's not what I meant," Fu Zhenlong said anxiously.

He does feel guilty towards his first love, and this is indeed the best way to make amends.

Wen Kerou, who had been silent until now, couldn't help but speak up, "Dad, shouldn't we reconsider?"

Even if she harbors a lot of resentment towards Fu Zhengting, she doesn't want him to lose his position as president.

The Fu family's success is all thanks to Fu Zhengting's management.

Fu Zhenlong, however, was determined. Just thinking about the trending topics about Fu Zhengting's relationship online made his head ache with anger. He gritted his teeth and said, "Ke Rou, I know you're soft-hearted, but that kid is anything but. He dared to hurt you like this. I'll make him regret it! Without the spotlight of being the president of Fu's Group, without the money, let's see if that Mu Tiantian will still be with him. Only when he stumbles in love will he realize how good you are, Ke Rou."

Wen Kerou was very touched that Fu Zhenlong stood up for her, but she really couldn't bear to see Fu Zhengting lose everything.

She opened her mouth as if to say something, but Fu Zhenlong interrupted her, "Ke Rou, you don't need to say anything. No one can stop me from making this decision."

As Fu Zhenlong spoke, he glanced at the door and saw that He Meijuan and her son were still there. Fearing that they might have left, he dialed the number again. "Send a notice announcing the removal of Fu Zhengting from the position of president. I already have a suitable successor..."
