Upon seeing this, Dou Zhong rushed forward and grabbed Dou Kaibao by the collar, pulling him out. He really feared that he would speak again, and if he came again, the torture would be deadly. His life was saved now, but if this grandson continued to speak, the situation would be different. His life depended on his grandson's words. He truly feared that his grandson would say something else. At this moment, Dou Zhong's hands stopped shaking and his legs no longer trembled. He grabbed his grandson and walked away quickly, afraid that the grandson might say something else at any moment, bringing more misfortune to the Dou family. Therefore, he was very afraid and grabbed Du Kaibao firmly to leave!
Du Kaibao, with that pull, actually spoke up. What kind of age is this for you to still be working for Huang Tianci like this, even at the cost of ignoring your own grandson? Do you really want to cut off your line of descendants? If you have no descendants, what use is it to have high positions or make a lot of money? Who will inherit them? What's the point of making so much money if there's no one to inherit it? I tell you, wake up, old thing! I am the only hope and the future of our Dou family. You must take good care of me and let me live comfortably. Only then can there be a future for our Dou family. Otherwise, just wait for the day when there are no descendants! Your Dou family will be completely extinct. And why do you so fervently support Huang Tianci? Does Huang Tianci even care about giving you a descendant? Or let you continue having children? Can you just give birth because he asks you to? Wake up! I am the only hope for our Dou family; don't just blindly support Guangtianci. You should know that without me, everything you have is as good as nothing!
Upon seeing Du Kaibao continuing to babble incoherently, Dou Zhong slapped him hard with one hand, causing his mouth to twist. It can be imagined how much force was used in that slap. Du Kaibao couldn't speak and could only hiccup and drool blood from his mouth. However, his eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at Dou Zhong, thinking in his heart, "If I can survive today, I promise to find a way to poison you so that you won't be able to live. You're harming this little fellow; how can he let you live? Impossible! I will never let you survive to harm me!"
At this moment, Du Zhong did not care about what Du Kaibao was thinking or how much he hated him. It no longer mattered to him. The only thing he had to do was leave this trouble spot. He could not let this grandson continue to talk nonsense, so he did not even bother to greet Huang Tianci and left directly with his grandson!
Huang Tianci watched as Dou Zhong took Du Kaibao away, shaking his head helplessly. Sighing, he thought to himself, "Having such a grandson is indeed a tragedy for him. If he had educated his grandson in advance, he wouldn't have reached this point. It's truly worth noting that child education is indeed important. Many people are so focused on their own careers and strive to cultivate and improve their abilities that they neglect their children's education. Now it has turned out like this, and it's really heart-wrenching!"
Yuan Shaobin also chimed in, "Ah, that's really the case. We haven't thought about all this either. Now, the matter with Old Du has become a warning for us. We must also focus on educating our descendants. We can't let them follow in the footsteps of Old Du's grandson. If it's truly impossible to turn back, that would indeed be a tragedy!"
Zhang Xinyang sighed and shook his head, "This may be fate. We, this generation, are willing to fight and die for our descendants, trying to create an excellent environment for them. However, we have neglected the education of our descendants, causing them to turn out like this. We have to atone for them and it's truly our fate as a generation. If this matter doesn't serve as a wake-up call for us, then it will be the tragedy of our generation. We not only ruined ourselves but also our descendants. Responsibility cannot be fully attributed to the descendants; we also bear responsibility."
Huang Linger, upon hearing them speak, also shook her head. "These are the universal flaws of the wealthy and those in power. Once they have money or authority, they tend to neglect the education of their descendants. This is ultimately a inevitable consequence. You seem to be like Wen Jie, without any backing or background, having to work hard on everything by himself. If he doesn't put in the effort, everything will be out of his reach. Therefore, he can only push himself to the limit and strive for success through his hard work. That's why he has achieved what he has today, not because he is particularly intelligent but simply because he has put in countless times more effort than others."
Huang Tianci listened to his daughter's words and pondered for a moment. "Linger, what you said is not wrong. My wife and I have not fulfilled our responsibility in educating you over these years. If it hadn't been for your grandfather's education, I really don't know what the consequences would have been. Now, since you have someone special in your life, we don't need to worry about your education anymore. Everything will be taken care of by him, Mo Wenjie!"
Huang Linger listened to her father, Huang Tianci, saying this and chuckled. "Dad, it's easy for you to be a father like this. For my childhood, it was my grandfather who found people to take care of me and educate me, and for the latter part of my life, it's my husband who will take care of me and educate me. You haven't fulfilled your duties as a father." She said that her father would have to pay for his neglectful attitude, adding that he himself should consider what kind of compensation he should give. "You can't just become a dad overnight," she said. "You have to give something in return." She suggested that her father could offer a few hundred billion spiritual stones as compensation, which would be like a small stipend for her future husband Mo Wenjie. "After all," she said, "you accepted his high-level breakthrough pill and shouldn't expect him not to demand some form of compensation." She wondered if her father was really so petty and uncivilized as to not offer anything at all. As the leader of a city, she thought he wouldn't act so unscrupulously. Furthermore, Mo Wenjie was his future son-in-law; he couldn't just let him go without giving him any face at all. If word got out that her father had eaten Mo Wenjie's high-level breakthrough pill without compensating him adequately, others might say or think poorly of him. She urged her father to think carefully about what he should do to make amends for his neglectful attitude.
Huang Tianci listened to Huang Linger's words and could only laugh awkwardly. His daughter, what are you talking about? How can I possibly not give money? After all, Wenjie put in a lot of effort in his alchemy. It also required costs. So, I cannot possibly not give money. I will definitely give it. But how much should I give? Is one hundred billion spiritual stones too much?
Huang Linger giggled. "As the Lord of Lan Yue City, you're being so stingy with money for your son-in-law? Why don't you just not give it at all, and I'll ask my grandfather to get it from you!"
Huang Tianci listened to his daughter and quickly stopped her. "Linger, let's discuss this again!"
