Chapter 145 What sincerity can you offer?
At this moment, it was Grandpa Sang who calmed down first, looked Sheng Xinhao up and down, his eyes rolling slightly as if he was thinking about something.

“Old woman, calm down. Maybe he really is doing this for Xiaoxi. After all, Xiaoxi is his son.” Grandpa Sang pulled his wife down to sit.

Grandma Sang glared at him, about to say something, but fell silent after seeing the old man's eyes.

He snorted and sat down.

Sheng Xinhao was surprised that his father-in-law would speak up for him. He had been scolded ever since he came in, and he was moved.

"Dad, it's really for Xiaoxi. He's my son, how could I not feel pain for him?"

"What about your youngest son? Isn't he also your son?" Grandpa Sang retorted, trying to gauge his former son-in-law's attitude.

“Although Ayu is also my son, how can he be compared to Xiaoxi?”

“He is not as talented as Xiaoxi. Besides, Xiaoxi is the child that Awan gave birth to for me.”

Sheng Xinhao was telling the truth. He had never considered his youngest son regarding his position, future connections, or assets.

Firstly, he was born to his youngest son, Fang Wanrong. Although he now defends Fang Wanrong very much, Sheng Xinhao only thinks that Fang Wanrong is suitable to be his wife, and he doesn't like her much.

The only person he truly loved was Sang Yuwan. In modern terms, Sang Yuwan was Sheng Xinhao's ideal woman, his wife, and so on. She was his ideal woman, and so on.

Not to mention, this beloved figure died in the prime of his life, making his power even greater.

Over the years, Sheng Xinhao has always cherished the memory of his late father.

Therefore, out of love for the house, even though Sheng Zexi had been rebellious and opposed him all these years, his heart still leaned towards Sheng Zexi when he saw Sheng Zexi's face, which was somewhat similar to Sang Yuwan's.

It's just a pity that the kid didn't listen to him.

Of course, there's also the reason that the younger son's talent is not as good as Sheng Zexi's.

Although Fang Wanrong kept praising A Yu in front of him, and although A Yu performed well, he could still clearly see whether it was hard work or talent.

Sheng Zexi is both hardworking and talented. If he hadn't been overshadowed by him, he might already be a regimental-level cadre.

However, he heard that this kid had made a great contribution when he returned from the mission, and even he couldn't keep quiet about it.

This kid has a bright future ahead of him; that's foreseeable.

That's why he came today.

He has a bright future ahead of him, but unfortunately, he's being held back by a country woman.

He didn't inquire about that country woman, nor did he know anything about her. But what could a country woman do besides depend on her husband?
Moreover, after Manping returned from the Northwest Military Region, she didn't have a good opinion of that woman either.

This further confirmed Sheng Xinhao's suspicions.

Grandpa Sang scrutinized Sheng Xinhao's words, which didn't seem like a lie. "You wouldn't just say this in front of us old folks, and then say something different to your wife who comes in later, would you? After all, it's said that the elderly love their youngest child the most."

“Of course not!” Sheng Xinhao immediately replied.

Grandpa Sang pondered for a moment, "Considering that you're also thinking of Xiaoxi, how about this, we can help you ask and persuade them, but you have to be sincere!"

"Old man!" Grandma Sang exclaimed anxiously upon hearing this.

Grandpa Sang raised his hand to stop her, and continued to ask Sheng Xinhao, "What sincerity can you offer?" Sheng Xinhao was somewhat confused, "Dad, what do you mean?"

"Well then, since you consider Xiaoxi to be your only heir and you also think that your things will be left to Xiaoxi, why don't you transfer the Sheng family's old house to Xiaoxi first? I remember you also have a courtyard house in Beijing, give that to Xiaoxi too. Now that you're in this position, you must have accumulated quite a bit of money, right? I won't ask for it for Xiaoxi for now, you can give Xiaoxi half of it first."

Upon hearing these words from Grandpa Sang, Sheng Xinhao was immediately dumbfounded.

Grandma Sang immediately realized what was going on and said, "That's right. Since you say that Xiao Xi is your heir, you can't just say it. If you don't show some action and sincerity, who knows if you will be fooled by the one who comes in after you."

"If you agree, we'll try to persuade you. If you don't agree, then we'll consider you just empty talk today, and you should leave."

Grandpa Sang would ask people to leave at the slightest disagreement.

Sheng Xinhao thought for a moment, and finally said, "Okay, I agree."

"I'll go to transfer the ownership and make the payment later."

“Okay, when we see both property ownership certificates and half of the savings, we, the two old folks, will go and persuade them.”

"I'll give it to you tomorrow."

"Then go and do it now."

Sheng Xinhao thought that since a large part of his things were going to be given to his eldest son anyway, he might as well give them to him sooner or later. Giving them now would also help his parents-in-law persuade Axi to divorce that country woman and ease the tension between him and Axi.

Sheng Xinhao had considered trying to persuade or even pressure Sheng Zexi, but he knew that kid well.

Applying pressure was useless, and as for persuasion, the kid wouldn't listen. Sheng Xinhao felt that as a father and the head of the family, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

After agreeing on the terms, Sheng Xinhao also left.

Grandma Sang looked at her husband and said, "Old man, what do you mean? You're not really going to persuade Xiaoxi and Ningning to divorce, are you? That won't do. Ningning is a good girl."

"Do you think it's possible?" Grandpa Sang asked calmly.

"I only promised to try to persuade them, but I didn't guarantee I would succeed. Isn't that what you meant too?"

Grandma Sang smiled, and in the exchange of glances, the two old women understood each other perfectly.

"Although Sheng Xinhao is a bastard, he does have a lot of good things. Xiao Xi is his son, and he said he would leave those things to Xiao Xi. So it's reasonable for us to ask for them in advance for Xiao Xi."

"To prevent him from being fooled by the woman who comes in later. I'm afraid that Sheng Xinhao is sober now, but who knows if he will become confused later."

Grandma Sang nodded. That makes sense.

“This old Sheng family mansion was originally built with funds from our Awan and Sheng Xinhao. It’s perfectly normal for it to be given to Xiaoxi now. If there’s a conflict with that woman’s family, we can kick them out.”

"A courtyard house? I remember Ningning likes courtyard houses. Although we gave her one before, who would care more about a house?"

"That's the truth."

"Sheng Xinhao's money belongs to Xiao Xi, who is his son. He should take it! Otherwise, that woman's family will take it."

"So Xiaoxi doesn't have children right now. If she did, she could raise them with this money."

Although the elderly couple only has this one grandson, and all the property will go to Xiaoxi, their share is theirs to give, and Sheng Xinhao, as the father, also has to give.
