Zhang Xiuya's sobs gradually became louder. Song Guochao, who was about to agree, suddenly couldn't say the words out loud.

Song Xuanhe seemed to have finally collected himself at this moment. Expressionlessly, he said, "Father, didn't you just say that it was up to Mother to deal with this as she liked? Why aren't you saying anything now?"

What Song Guochao valued the most was his image. Likewise, he usually also really hated his youngest son, who had no respect for him and would always contradict him. Right now, hearing his son speak to him with a practically criticizing tone, his slightly pleading expression morphed into hardly-concealed anger. "I'm speaking with your mother! You have no right to interrupt us! Did a dog eat your manners?!"

"Heh." Song Xuanhe sneered. The upset on his face just now from having suffered a blow had been completely replaced with a calm expression. His face had turned icy. "Grandpa taught me social courtesy. Mother taught me how to tell good people from bad. But, what did Father teach me? To raise mistresses only to then let them come knock on the door and destroy decades of the Song Family's good name and reputation?"

"You!" Song Guochao's expression was livid from being spoken to in this cold, disdaining tone. However, what angered him even more was that he couldn't refute these words. He had indeed never partaken in Song Xuanhe's upbringing. Furthermore, he had also let the woman who he was keeping outside into the house. But even so, a son should not reproach his father for his mistakes. There was no justification for a son to chide his father!

"This is a matter between grown-ups. There's no need for you to participate in this conversation." Li Nianan patted Song Xuanhe so slightly that he almost didn't feel it. Although she spoke words of criticism, her tone did not sound like she was scolding him. She then cast an indifferent gaze towards Song Guochao. "I can't be bothered to deal with this woman. Dad was right. I don't need to bicker with her over this."

Song Guochao's eyes lit up. However, Zhang Xiuya beside him sunk her nails into the palms of her hands.

"I just want my sons to get what is meant to be theirs." Li Nianan turned to look at Song Yansong and said, "Dad, you have watched Xuanlin and Xuanhe grow up. They are your grandsons, your only successors. Everyone both within the family and outside of us knows it. However, now that this has happened, they will definitely be pointed at and talked about by outsiders. As a mother, I absolutely cannot watch my sons suffer such an injustice."

Song Yansong examined her carefully. When he saw the deep love in her eyes, he nodded softly.

"I know what you're thinking right now. You want to test them." Li Nianan sighed. "I know my sons. Xuanlin is a steady person, and he has ambition. He's the more suitable candidate in inheriting the group. Xuanhe is more unpredictable, but he's very intelligent. It's just that he's got a playful personality. Therefore, I hope that you will quickly make your decision."

When Song Xuanlin heard this, he looked up. He gazed at his mother as well as his younger brother, whose expression hadn't changed at all while he was listening to their mother speak.

Song Yansong pursed his lips in a tight line. He knew what Li Nianan was thinking right now. He had always planned on choosing one of his grandsons as his successor, but he wasn't very happy being forced to immediately delegate one of them.

It was just that Li Nianan had a younger sister who married into the Rogilere Family. Although the marriage was to a member of one of the branch families, it was enough to make them cautious and apprehensive. Moreover, the Song Family was in the wrong right now. If he didn't agree to her request, then things would only develop in a worse direction.
