The Typhoon's Dangerous Wife

Chapter 6 - Hidden Motives



Long Shaoming shared a very unusual relationship with his eldest son. To say it was somewhat strained would not be wrong. He always treated Long Jie as the future head of the family. He wanted to train him to serve as one of the best heads of the Long family. His Son was no ordinary. He was a genius and no one could run the Long group as he could. But the challenge before him was to persuade his son for the marriage with the Xin girl.

He not only wanted to end the ancient ongoing rivalry between the two major powerhouses of Beijing but also attain a hidden and very crucial objective. He could not tell his son the real situation but his son was no imbecile.

"Son"

"Father, Please say what I can do for you", Long Jie replied to his father.

" We are meeting Xin\'s tomorrow. You have to be present there. Don\'t forget it son" Long Shaoming informed his son. Xin Yichen reached his assistant to inform him of their arrival. Xin Yichen was coming to Beijing after decades and it was a sort of historic moment.

"Sure" Long Jie assured his father. He knew his father was obvious and the bloody marriage was inevitable. what he failed to understand was his father\'s reason for the marriage and he felt that ending the rivalry between the two families was just bullshit. But he knew better to ask.

Long Shaoming nodded at his son and walked out of his room. He was certain that his son would not oppose his decision. But his son was not the only difficulty in the family.

He went to his study and found his furious father standing there. He gestured for his assistant to leave the room and close the door. It was time for the father-son duo to interact with each other or more like quarreling. His father\'s views often clashed with his.

"Shaoming, didn\'t I tell you to end this bizarre marriage contract ?" The old man asked Long Yuhan with a cold hoarse voice. Long Shaoming did not argue back with his father. There was no point functioning on his directions because he was the current head, not his father.

"Father, please forgive me but I could not act on your wishes. I had given my words and Longs never go back on their words. This is what you taught me all these years." Elder Patriarch Long Yuhan had been trying to get his Eldest grandson to marry one of the granddaughters of his long-time friend. If only he could have Long Jie marry one of the daughters of the Li family, their family status within the Military would be vastly improved. But his hope was shot down as his Eldest son after becoming the head of the family signed the marriage contract with his bigger rival.

The long family had a tradition that had been going on for centuries that every member of the family had to concede with the wishes of the head of the family. Elder or the Young generation would have to act by the head of the family. Maybe it was the reason that the family had been running for such a long time.

"presumptuous!!!", the old man roared as if he had been insulted.

" You dared to go against your father. you forget your Nobel upbringing"

" Father you know this is not possible. I do not have any wish to offend you. But the marriage contract can\'t be canceled" Long shaoming stated calmly.

" Xin\'s are vile and dreadful. We have a long history of rivalry between us. Do you guarantee that the unpleasant woman that you are bringing as your daughter-in-law would not hurt your family?"Long Yuhan asked his son furiously.

" You know exactly why there was a long ongoing battle between the two families. The battle would have ended decades ago if you haven\'t -

"STOP"

Long Shaoming stopped he knew that he pressed the aching vein of his father. His father was guilty but he would never express it. His father was narrow-minded, intolerant, and bigoted. His decisions further deteriorated the family and business and this was also the reason why he disliked his grandson who was his complete opposite. The model head of the family but he would never agree.

" You would not continue this marriage agreement shaming and this is my order," the old man said again.

"Rule number3: The family act per the decisions and orders of the family head" Long shaoming answered while walking out of the study room. There was no point in arguing with his father.
