Chapter 1738: Good Reason

After hearing Zhai Xin’s words, no one had any ideas. But a thought suddenly flashed through Zhai Hua’s mind, and she turned her attention to her son, Tian Haoran. San Bao had not gone to the navy, but her son, Xiao Bao, could!

Tian Haoran immediately saw through his mom’s idea. “Mom, don’t even think about it. I won’t survive in this industry.” He had no intention of being a soldier. He did not want to follow in his mom’s footsteps and be away from home for a good part of the year. Tian Haoran knew that his desire for the military was nowhere as strong as her two elder brothers’. Most importantly, his dad had left such a massive company to him. He would eventually have to take over from his dad.

Tian Haoran enjoyed doing research, and all the research that he did was on things that could be put into production in his own company. Based on this alone, it was clear that Tian Haoran had a plan for his own future.

Because of his son’s decision, Tian Dong had been smug in front of Zhai Hua for a long time. True enough, their son took after his father and was not as crazy as Hua Hua to insist on becoming a soldier. Knowing that Xiao Bao had no intention of joining the military and would instead take over the family business, his parents had been relieved at the time of their passing.

The daughter-in-law’s family background was extraordinary, and she herself did not have a bad temper. Even if they had their own opinions toward Zhai Hua’s career as her parents-in-law, they had never mentioned it in front of Zhai Hua. When Zhai Hua was not around, they even helped take care of Tian Haoran.

But Mother and Father Tian had completely different attitudes when it came to their grandson. They knew just how difficult it was to be a soldier, and they had seen it for themselves. Their grandson had grown up being pampered and spoiled by them. He had never suffered hardship or gone through any difficult times since he was a child. If he really went to the army, he would have to experience all these hardships first-hand.

Suffering hardships was nothing much. What Mother and Father Tian were most worried about was the possibility of going to war. It was true that the country was at peace now, but soldiers never enjoyed any peace. Even if there was no war going on between countries, there would still be evil people committing terrorist acts.

Tian Haoran was the only grandson of the Tian family. If anything were to happen to Tian Haoran, the elderly couple felt that neither of them would be able to continue living anymore. Even if their grandson had not expressed keenness in the army like their daughter-in-law, they could never rest easy with their daughter-in-law around. They were deeply afraid that after they were gone, the grandson would be coerced by their daughter-in-law to join the army and do those dangerous things.

Knowing the dilemma that his grandparents were facing, Tian Haoran took the initiative to confess to them that he had no intention of joining the military. That day, Tian Haoran had chatted with his grandparents alone. Even his father, Tian Dong, had no idea about what the three of them had spoken about, let alone his mom, Zhai Hua.

But what the couple realized was that after their son spoke to their parents, the elderly couple had never once worried about this matter again. They had been utterly convinced by Tian Haoran.

Until now, Zhai Hua had not figured out how her son was so capable as to allow her parents-in-law to pass on without any worries. Zhai Hua had asked Tian Haoran about this more than once, but Tian Haoran had never told his mom about what had happened.

Because of this matter, Zhai Hua had even thrown a tantrum at Tian Haoran, saying that it was all Tian Dong’s fault. Initially, Tian Dong had no idea what his son had told his parents either. But gradually, Tian Dong saw through Tian Haoran’s plan.

Behind Zhai Hua’s back, Tian Dong told Tian Haoran directly. “Your mom and I have raised you in vain. Do you remember that you’re a Tian, not a Zhai, or a Qiao?” The child that he had raised with so much effort was always thinking of others!

He wondered how Zhai Hua would feel. Tian Dong himself felt a little sour. He had always loved his son, Tian Haoran, deeply and pampered him. But why had his son not followed in his path?

Tian Haoran refused to take his father’s bait. “Are you sure you were the one who raised me? I can’t deny that you and mom were the ones who gave birth to me, but I can’t really say who really raised me. Believe it or not, if you tell Mom about what I think, Mom might give up the idea of sending me into the military to cover all three forces in our family. She might even support me taking over your company!”

“…” Tian Dong suffered a huge blow. “Is Qiao Nan really that good?” Why was it that his wife and son all placed such importance on Qiao Nan’s words? As a husband and father, he wondered how he was ranked in their hearts.

“Of course!” Tian Haoran nodded forcefully. He had always thought that his family had two fathers. Her mom was no different from his dad. All his impressions of what a mother was supposed to be like came from his aunt, Qiao Nan. There was truly no one who could beat Qiao Nan in this world. When he looked for a wife in the future, he had to find a young lady like his aunt. His uncle had such good fortune.

Tian Haoran and Qiao Nan were willing parties, so Tian Dong could not care less. But Qiao Nan was completely clueless about all of this.

There was only one reason why Tian Haoran wanted to take over the family business. It was because Qiao Nan had shares in the Tian Corporation. The revenue of the Tian Corporation had a direct impact on Qiao Nan’s annual income as well as her standard of living. If anything went wrong with the Tian Corporation, it would take a huge toll on Qiao Nan.

That was why Tian Haoran had decided to take over the reins of his father’s company and bring the Tian Corporation to greater heights. He knew that this was the only way he could help elevate the standard of living of his favorite aunt. The Tian family was wealthy, and all of this wealth would eventually be his. But if he were to directly hand some money over to his aunt, his aunt would definitely refuse.

If Tian Corporation’s revenue was high, his aunt would receive more dividends. He was sure that his aunt would not refuse in such a situation.

To let his aunt and her family lead a better life, he had to become the boss of the Tian Corporation. He felt uneasy handing the company over to someone else. How could anyone do a better job than him?

Tian Haoran had good reason, and Tian Dong could not rebuke him.

After all, his son and wife were all Qiao Nan’s fans. Die-hard fans, no less. As head of the house, there was really nothing he could do about this mother-and-son pair. In the end, Tian Dong could only accept his fate like his parents had.

Tian Haoran was close to the Zhai family and liked Qiao Nan very much. All along, Mother and Father Tian had their opinions regarding this. After all, their grandson should be the closest to them. Why was it that he was closest to his maternal grandma’s family?

Mother and Father Tian had been most worried about their grandson joining the military, but they had never expected that their grandson would resolutely choose to become a businessman because of Qiao Nan. He said it was because he wanted to bring the Tian Corporation to greater heights and increase their company’s revenue.

Tian Haoran’s explanation was really hard for Mother and Father Tian to swallow.
