1535 Not the Phoenix Girl
The King was not yelling at Zhou Huaijin, but he spoke in a cold yet calm way. That was when he got extremely angry. His face was twisted because of the cold words he had heard. He glared at Zhou Huaijin as if he were going to eat him the moment he opened his mouth.
When he ordered De Fu to summon this son of his to the court, he had never expected that he would rebel.
He was trying to balance what he could offer to his son, so that he could live a peaceful life without causing the Crown Prince any trouble, but that was only because of his remaining feelings for Jiang Shuang. Jiang Shuang was born in the Jiang Family, and he could feel that Jiang Shuang was truthful in front of him. This son was her only offspring and he was going to help him as much as he could.
He would get the Ministry of Architecture to build a new mansion rather than the current one he was living in. He would allow him to marry someone noble as his Princess Consort. He was trying to cheer up Lord Huai for being able to get a position, but he was also saying it in a kind manner.
All of these were the biggest efforts he could make for him and the best things he could offer.
He was from the Jiang Family, so that was the best the King could do!
However, this son of his… he was not thinking about him.
He was the King, his father! How could he be so selfish?
Jiang Shuang raised him but he did not inherit Jiang Shuang’s sincerity and tolerance. He did, however, inherit his grandfather’s arrogance and pride.
Was he worth every effort his father made for him? Not at all!
He had made the offer so he regretted nothing. He was going to give Jiang Shuang’s son a hard time now.
As the King thought about this, he lost the last gentleness he had for Zhou Huaijin. He showed his grudge to Zhou Huaijin just as he showed his hatred to his grandfather years back.
Zhou Huaijin showed no expression on his face. He was still very cold.
“As long as Chaoyan wants to marry me, whenever that will be, she will be mine. I won’t give her to anyone else. Nor does anyone else have the right to treat her in this way.” Zhou Huaijin insisted.
Many thoughts had gone through the King’s mind and he had felt and sensed many things, but Zhou Huaijin was still this determined and resolute.
“Oh yeah? Then let’s see what happens in the end.” The King smiled imposingly, as if he were going to be the winner very soon.
His son was rebelling, so he was not going to give him any more chances. What could this boy do anyway?
He gave everything this boy had. And he could take back everything he owned.
His son was too young to deal with him.
His grandfather was arrogant, but he was still the General, but this boy had nothing. What could he do to rebel and confront him anyway?
He was just arrogant, and stupid!
“Then we will see,” Zhou Huaijin said expressionlessly.
