Chapter 136 A Cold Heart

If a comparison were to be made based on financial power, no one would be able to beat Wang Feng. The sheer weight of his money was enough to kill someone.

“What are you laughing at?” Seeing Eldest Brother’s crazy laughter, Bei Qingyun felt suspicious in his heart.

“I’m laughing at your ignorance.” Bei Qingtian laughed loudly. He said, “I’m also laughing at your foolishness. Are you really saying that in your eyes, there is nothing more than money?”

“Of course.” Bei Qingyun nodded his head and said, “In today’s society, the people who have money are the boss. Isn’t the whole point of starting an enterprise to make money? Unless Eldest Brother is implying that Wang Feng already has a lot of money now?”

“You’re wrong.” Suddenly, Bei Qingtian lifted his head, looked griefly at Bei Qingyun and said, “It’s no wonder that you were not selected to be the family head that year. It was because you have become so money-minded. The only reason you want more money is to increase your status. Even if I gave you a billion, I doubt you can spend all of that within your lifetime. Hence, in my point of view, status is the most important thing.”

As he said this, Bei Qingtian gazed at Wang Feng and continued, “Although Wang Feng does not have much money right now, he has a good enough status. He gets my approval. My daughter will definitely not marry a common man, and Wang Feng fits my taste just right.”

As he said this, Bei Qingtian scanned his gaze across every person in the crowd and said solemnly, “In addition, I must also remind everyone present here that Xiaoxue is my daughter. So, don’t use this marriage as a means to bargain about official matters. I withdraw my agreement for this marriage.”

Bei Qingtian’s words were powerful and resonant. The crowd was stunned.

Wang Feng was a man they had never met nor even heard of before. According to the family head’s words, Wang Feng must be a man of significant status. However, if he really had status, why had all these elites not heard of him before?

“Family head, forgive me if this is a foolish question. I wonder who exactly this Wang Feng is? How is it that I have not heard of him before?” At this point, a man stood up and questioned Bei Qingtian’s words.

“Hehe, it’s normal that you haven’t heard of him. Judging by your status, you are too insignificant to know about it.” Bei Qingtian’s words were very solemn. The man was so angered that his face turned red instantly.

Clap!

Suddenly, a clap on the table was heard. Hua Feng pointed his fingers at Bei Qingtian and agitatedly said, “Bei family head, are you sure you want to withdraw from this marriage agreement?”

“Of course. I have already made myself very clear. I will still pay the dividends for your stock. I will not take advantage of you. In addition, I will use my personal money to repay you ten billion. I think that you will be satisfied with this answer.” Bei Qingtian said and seemed to regain his composure.

“Bullshit.” Suddenly, Hua Feng stomped out in rage. The documents in his hands were thrown towards Bei Qingtian and the papers inside flew out in the air.

“Let me tell you: I won’t agree with it.” Hua Feng screamed. He looked like he had been severely angered.

“Yes, both the father and son will not agree to this.” At this point, Hua Long who was standing by his side stood up and supported loudly.

“When we came to propose, you had accepted the dowry. Now, you want to chase us away with just a sentence and some money. How utterly unreasonable!” Hua Long screamed. At that point, he no longer cared about his status and position. This was because he was afraid that if he held back anymore, he would no longer have the opportunity.

“You don’t need to tell me that. When I say withdraw, I seriously mean genuinely withdrawing. Don’t try to test my limits here.” Having been hit by Hua Feng’s folder, Bei Qingtian’s face became gloomy.

As the family head of the Bei Enterprise, he had never been treated by someone as such, and it was in front of so many people. If it was not for the crowd that was present, he would have fought these two unreasonable men.

“Stop telling me these useless things. Let me tell you, we will not agree to withdraw this marriage. I’m sure the people in the room do not agree to it too. Plus, will the Bei family head really bully others like this with his power? Although the Hua Enterprise cannot compare to the Bei Enterprise, we definitely do not accept being bullied.” Hua Feng screamed. He was spitting his saliva all over the place and he was extremely agitated.

“Then what do you want?” Bei Qingtian replied plainly.

“To proceed with the marriage agreement of course. Your daughter has already promised to marry my daughter. To withdraw now will be too late!” Hua Feng laughed coldly. He was no longer scared of Bei Qingtian.

Although Bei Qingtian’s status was so much higher than him, his son’s marriage was about to go to the dumps. He could not afford to lose this man. It was worse than killing him.

“Then come over and try to take my daughter away?” Bei Qingtian spoke. His entire body radiated coldness.

He was the family head of Bei Enterprise, a skilled practitioner of Internal Strength. If he were scared of an average man like Hua Feng, then that would be truly weird.

“A bully!” Seeing Bei Qingtian’s stubbornness, Hua Feng was so agitated that he almost spit out blood. The agreement was set so nicely a few days ago. Now, just a few words of change had brought about change. He was not even put into consideration.

“Family head, please be mindful of your own tone.” At this point, Bei Qingtian spoke without even calling him Eldest Brother.

“Family head, we can spend a bit more time planning this. There is no need to decide on this right now.” Another man supported.

“I have already decided. There’s no need to discuss anymore.” Bei Qingtian reached out his hand. His will was as strong as steel.

At this point, although his face looked calm, he felt a little anger in his heart. He was the family head and yet he didn’t even have the power to decide his daughter’s lifelong happiness. These people really did not see him as the family head.

“Dad, did you not frequently teach me that decisions can’t be made too rashly? How can you do this? Plus, big brother’s not a bad person. If my sister is to follow him, I’m sure she’ll be happy.” At this point, the silent Bei Ziming finally spoke.

Although he did not have much say within the family, he was still Bei Qingtian’s son. Hence, with his few words, many people cast their gaze on him.

He had a very weak presence. If he did not speak, Wang Feng possibly might not have known that there was such a person.

“Even you would like to oppose me now?” Bei Qingtian questioned coldly after hearing Bei Ziming’s words.

“I don’t dare. I’m only speaking the truth.” Bei Ziming said respectfully and then followed, “We are all not familiar with Wang Feng’s background. It is incomparable to big brother’s identity who we can see so transparently. If my sister really wants to marry someone, I feel that big brother is better. He has a powerful family and his character is not bad. I approve of him more.”

“Seems like you are also stubbornly opposing my decision. Forget it. I didn’t expect all of you to agree. Xiaoxue is my daughter, not a puppet of the family. Since all of you are bent on him marrying Hua Long, then come and get her.” As he said this, Bei Qingtian slowly sat down. His words stunned the crowd and they were too afraid to speak.

Bei Qingtian was undoubtedly a little dispiriting at that point, but everyone knew in their hearts that whoever snatched his daughter away at that point would land himself in a very unfortunate position.

He was just like an honorable lion in slumber. If anyone dared to agitate him, it would be equivalent to courting death.

“Nonsense!”

At that point, Bei Qingtian’s father stood up and said, “Qingtian, what you are thinking? I can cede control, but considering the family’s interests, you have no reason to withdraw your words on a matter you already promised someone else. The Bei Enterprise will not do something as shameful as this.”

His words were very reasonable and prompted everyone present to nod continuously.

“Father, are you going to stop me too?” Looking at the old man, Bei Qingtian did not stand up. He said, “Xiaoxue is ultimately your blood granddaughter. Now, you are coercing her to marry someone she doesn’t like. I feel very sad about this.”

Father’s involvement in official matters could be ignored. But for him to disregard his own blood granddaughter was unbearable to Bei Qingtian. He felt his heart twitched endlessly.

From young, he had never received much fatherly love. Father was always busy with the Enterprise. Even after he grew up, he had not received any help at all. The year when he became the family head was also by his abilities. It had nothing to do with his relationship with his father.

But now, he was actually pushing his own blood granddaughter out. It was unbearable to him.

“Eldest Brother, look at the way you talk to father!” At this point, Bei Qingyun stood up with a gloomy face.

“Do I need you to discipline me?” Looking at his own younger brother, Bei Qingtian’s voice began to grow cold.

“I don’t dare to discipline you. But it was wrong of you to speak that way to Father. Apologize to father now.”

“I did not do anything wrong. Why must I apologize? You better not speak to me in such a disciplinary tone. In private, I am your Eldest Brother. In public, I am the family head. Please mind your own tone of language.” Bei Qingtian glared at Bei Qingyun and said slowly.

“You are helpless.” Bei Qingyun shook his head and sat down.

“Qingtian, I will also not agree to this matter. If you stubbornly wish to proceed with this, I can only request the elder board to change the family head. You are no longer competent enough to be the family head.” At that point, that old man once again said coldly.

“I don’t have the competency?” Hearing father’s words, Bei Qingtian was so mad that his entire body began to shake. Father was exactly this kind of person. Was this man like a father?

On his body, Bei Qingtian could not see a trace of his own father.

“Never mind. Do whatever you guys want. Mouths grow on your faces. Say whatever you guys want to say. If you don’t want me to be the family head, that’s good too. Anyway, I’ve been tired all these years. Not being the family head can be a blessing. But if anyone wants to question my decision today, you can come and find trouble with me. I’ll take everything you throw at me.” At this point, Bei Qingtian stood up and spoke with a strong tone.

He could no longer communicate with these people. As the family head during the past years, he had always put in his best effort to create value for the enterprise. He did not think that in the end, no one would be supporting him. He could let go of being a family head like that. These people were basically a bunch of people with no gratitude.

“Father, how could you speak like that?” At this point, Bei Ziming spoke with a worried face. But at that moment he was already on cloud nine.

He had already secretly been planning to be the family head. However, Bei Qingtian was still young and no sign showed that he would be stepping down. Hence, seeing that grandfather was going to fire father, he could not be any happier.

“Leave, leave now so that I can successfully become the family head of the Bei Enterprise and manage everything!” He was laughing silently to himself but his face showed no signs of it.

“How I speak has nothing to do with you.” Bei Qingtian looked at his son, his own offspring, and laughed coldly.

From young, he had always been good to Bei Ziming and treated him like his own blood son. However, he was now treating him as if he were an outsider, helping others defeat him. It made him feel cold in the heart.

“This marriage has been withdrawn. If you agree, then that’s an agreement. Even if you don’t agree, you’ve got to agree. Everyone may now leave.”

As he said that, Bei Qingtian kicked his chair back, turned his body and walked away.
