As someone who has experienced it, Cheng Shangming doesn't want Cheng Yanqing to follow in his footsteps. Cheng Yanqing may feel nothing now, but when problems arise in the future, it could be too late for regrets.
Now, Cheng Shangming is willing to play the villain!
Cheng Shangming sternly declared to Cheng Yanqing, "Cheng Yanqing, if you still consider yourself a descendant of the Cheng Family, if you still want me as your father and your grandmother, then you'd better divorce Shen Lan! You must divorce Shen Lan!"
It was both a request and an order.
The neglect and injustice Cheng Yanqing had suffered over the years, as well as his parents' unhappiness, had long diminished his respect for Cheng Shangming as his father.
Since he did not respect him, how could he possibly listen to Cheng Shangming's words?
