Another sleepless night prevailed— early in the morning, Gu Wei Ting was just about to wash up when a resounding burst of footsteps transmitted over.

Without the need to turn around, he already knew who had arrived.

He had not anticipated that Gu Hai would be so composed and had unexpectedly only come then.

"What exactly did you say to Yin Zi?"

Gu Wei Ting despised it the most when Gu Hai used that kind of tone to question him right in front of his face. Even if he was old to the point he was paralyzed in bed, his son should not speak to him like that.

"I just told him that I do not approve of you two being together." Gu Wei Ting employed an utterly harsh voice.

The chilliness contained in Gu Hai's eyes could even freeze bones, "Your reason?"

"Reason?" Gu Wei Ting wiped his face and casually said, "If you can have him give birth to a grandchild for me, I will accept him immediately."

Gu Hai tightened his fist, which was trembling uncontrollably— after tightening it for a long time, he finally exploded.

"Starting tomorrow, I will go and recruit a group of surrogate mothers to try and give you 180 grandchildren within a year! Then I will completely disappear from your sight as to avoid being an eyesore to you!!"

After nine years, Gu Wei Ting had thought that Gu Hai had already passed the age of yelling at him, but he discovered that human maturity was not based on age, but rather on events. The reason why he had been calm and optimistic for all those years was not because his mind had become wiser, but because he did not find any motive that made him resort to the extremes.

Once that motive was in sight, he would immediately tear off the mask of hypocrisy and continue the war of words without hesitating to utilize a foul language to hurt the person, regardless of his father's identity, regardless of his good intentions over the years.

Realizing that point, the words Gu Wei Ting exercised were even more relentless.

"You can rest assured. There is no need for 180, even if it is just one, I, Gu Wei Ting, will no longer glance at you."

A deep sense of despair appeared in Gu Hai's eyes— not because of Gu Wei Ting's inability to comprehend, but merely because in this father's eyes, this son's happiness was lowly and expendable.

"He gave up eight years of his youth for me and paid the price of losing his loved ones, yet what have you given up for me? Was it that you gave up on the woman you betrayed for more than a decade? And that you devoted in a marriage that made me feel repugnant, deep-seated hatred and pain? If you believe that by giving me life and supporting me for over ten years was your selfless love, then I can return them all to you in a hundredfold. I will also let you taste what it feels like to be neglected for more than a decade, being thrown to different nannies day in and day out and tossed out with a stack of money!"
