Truthfully, if Xia Guoxiong had another son, or if Xia Ning were a boy, he really wouldn't bother with Xia Cheng, but...
But even before Xia Guoxiong rose to prominence, he was just the most ordinary of commoners, and though he changed his name after becoming wealthy, what he couldn't change was the deep-rooted preference for sons over daughters in his bones; his estate was definitely to be inherited by Xia Cheng.
So, even if Xia Cheng trampled on his pride time and again, he still couldn't ignore Xia Cheng.
At this moment, hearing what the old Master He had said, Xia Guoxiong thought for a moment and then spoke in a tone laced with a mix of resentment and helplessness, "They don't have any real sincerity. Qin Nuan and Yi Lixing are simply in cahoots. If it weren't for Yi Lixing stirring up trouble constantly, why would I have cooperated with Huangpu Group?"
