Chapter 175: Ghost in the Magic World - Prelude (9)
Xiang Kui had no idea why Shang Family Head was here.
But she knew very well that Shang Family Head would not care about what Shang Su said to Shang Kui.
This kind of father who cared for nothing but the family...
Shang Kui didn’t want to treat Shang Family Head as her own father anymore, so Xiang Kui didn’t bother to be polite with the other party.
Bam!
The door was closed and Shang Family Head looked thoughtfully in the direction where Shang Su and Shang Kui were located before.
He naturally knew the conflict between the Duan and Bing Family.
But the Sheng Family has always maintained a neutral stance between the two of them, trying their best not to get involved with their conflicts. Otherwise, it would be troublesome
The problem is, Shang Xiyue is close to Bing Hong Xiang, so the conflict between the two families might also involve the Shang Family.
Shang Family Head had been thinking about how to maintain the balance.
He didn’t want to unconditionally side with Bing Hong Xiang because he knew very well that there would be some other families who were dissatisfied with it. The Bing Family was only one of the few powerful families in the city.
If the Shang Family truly completely sided with the Bing Family...
They would make a lot of enemies.
But after Shang Family Head heard that his own daughter was teaming up with Duan Rong Yu, his mind couldn’t help but spin uncontrollably. Given Duan Rong Yu’s free nature, it was absolutely impossible for the two children to develop feeling together.
But the Shang Family Head could still make sure that with this, it would be possible for the Shang Family to claim neutrality.
For a moment, Shang Family Head felt that Shang Kui had done something good.
As for other things...
The Shang Family Head had long given up on his daughter inheriting his position in the future. The elders were already pressuring him to change the heiress position to Shang Xiyue because she was more suitable for it than Shang Kui.
Moreover, there was also the factor of Bing Hong Xiang being close to Shang Xiyue.
They had probed Bing Hong Xiang’s father and knew that he would only agree for an engagement if Shang Xiyue is the heiress.
This made them conflicted.
On one side, they feel that having good relationship with the Bing Family was good, but if Bing Hong Xiang’s father wanted to take over the Shang Family through this matter...
Then it’s another matter altogether.
So Shang Family Head disagree.
Until Shang Xiyue could ensure that the Shang Family and the Bing Family would not merge due to her relationship with Bing Hong Xiang, the Shang Family Head couldn’t possibly give Shang Xiyue the position of the heiress.
But it was undeniable that the elders were getting more and more impatient as time passed by.
Shang Family Head could still hold them back.
Besides, the two children were still young.
But if this matter continued on without any chance of changing things... then the Shang Family Head wouldn’t be able to hold them back off.
"Shang Kui..." Shang Family Head muttered as he turned around. "Can you change the trend of time?"
It sounded like a dream.
After all, the Shang Family Head knew very well that his daughter was not someone so capable like that.
But even if sounded like a dream, the Shang Family Head still hoped that his so called daughter could change the trend and not let his brother be the one to take over the family’s head.
How could the Shang Family Head not know that Shang Xiyue’s father, his own brother, was the one eyeing this position?
The two of them fought when they were younger.
But the Shang Family Head finally got his position while his brother was only an elder.
He was dissatisfied.
But there was nothing he could do.
Until the two of them have children and it was found that the Shang Family Head’s daughter was truly useless that he started to move his mind again. The Shang Family Head knew this.
But he cared for the family more.
So if Shang Kui was truly useless, then the Shang Family Head had no other choice but to abandon his own daughter.
The Shang Family Head knew that he could do that.
It just depends on how things would be in the future.
...
The next day, Xiang Kui woke up early and didn’t bother to find the Shang Family Head before heading out.
She saw that Shang Xiyue was already there with Shang Su following her.
They were all registering their team members.
"Shang Kui, over here!" Duan Rong Yu waved his hand and Xiang Kui trotted over. She saw that Jun Lin was also there, yawning.
Looking at the faint new bruises on his arms, Xiang Kui frowned slightly but then stayed silent.
Who didn’t know how Jun Lin was treated in the Jun Family?
Even if Xiang Kui felt somewhat dissatisfied and wanted Jun Lin to treat himself better...
It was absolutely impossible.
"Many teams are only finally formed today. Those who couldn’t find team will be grouped by the teacher," Duan Rong Yu said as he pointed at the children on the side.
Xiang Kui glanced over and nodded.
After all, Duan Rong Yu himself was still thinking of hiring someone before Jun Lin mentioned to him that he had already recruited Shang Kui.
So this practice should be quite common.
Some students even looked in their direction from time to time.
After all, the maximum number of people in a team is five while the minimum is three, so some of them wanted to see if Duan Rong Yu planned to recruit more.
"I don’t want to recruit more." Duan Rong Yu snorted and then took out a large plank for somewhere and write it down before put it in front of him.
Xiang Kui: "..."
Jun Lin: "..."
The two of them silently looked at the comical appearance of Duan Rong Yu and then took a step back.
Who is this Duan Rong Yu?
They didn’t know him.
