Chapter 1721: Chapter 1720: Time for New Blood
Old Master Hao sighed and said, "I know you can, but doing this is burning bridges after crossing them. The Hao Family’s success today isn’t just because of you; you can’t be so irresponsible to the entire family!"
"If I’m responsible, will they be grateful to me? Grandpa, don’t you realize that if this continues, sooner or later the Hao Family’s development will encounter problems. There’s no room for growth now because they interfere too much! By branching out, there’s more hope and space."
"I understand, but you can’t solve this by being ungrateful."
"I have already been as kind and fair to them as I can!"
"But they don’t see it that way. Asen, others will only think you made this decision because of a woman. No one will praise your love story; they’ll just think it’s another tale of a femme fatale. And you’re so outstanding, how can you bear such defamation? Are you really willing to let Xiaojun endure such slander?" Old Master Hao advised earnestly, and Hao Yansen wasn’t showing any sign of being deaf to it.
Instead, his attitude was good, and he understood the reasoning.
"Grandpa, I understand everything, rest assured, making this decision is not a momentary whim."
"But I really can’t see what wisdom there is in your decision."
"Mo Jun is the Medicine King’s daughter," Hao Yansen suddenly replied.
Old Master Hao was startled for a moment, "...What did you say?"
"She’s the Medicine King’s daughter, Axiang is the Medicine King, also Yun Shaojun, she’s Mo Jun’s mother," Hao Yansen affirmed, "Grandpa, my parents are alive because of Mo Jun’s mother. You are alive solely because of Mo Jun. We owe them too much; compared to their sacrifices, what do these benefits count for? Moreover, Mo Jun almost left me this time, making me realize that without her, I wouldn’t care about anything... including my own life."
"..." Old Master Hao was shaken again.
Hao Yansen stood up, walked to the window, and looked outside, saying, "Grandfather, family interests are important, but they shouldn’t be above everything else. This family has long been out of sync in heart because of interests. The defamation Mo Jun suffered this time—isn’t it something they deliberately did? They’re using all sorts of tactics for the sake of benefits; how can I possibly aggrieve Mo Jun for them? The Hao Family has developed to this point, it’s time for new blood. This is really putting family interests above everything else."
"..." Old Master Hao looked at him again, shocked.
Hao Yansen turned around to look at him, facing the sunlight, his face in shadow, making it hard to see clearly.
Old Master Hao suddenly realized he couldn’t understand this grandson anymore.
His growth had completely exceeded his expectations.
He still cared about the survival of other family members, but Yansen didn’t.
"Asen, when did you have this idea?"
"I’ve had it for a long time," Hao Yansen admitted frankly, "The Hao Family is getting increasingly complicated; no matter how great their past achievements were, now they’re indeed burdens. If the Hao Family wants to keep developing, a complete reform is necessary. But don’t worry, I won’t treat them unfairly; I’ll just take the portion of interest that belongs to me, nothing else concerns me."
"But you’ll be cursed endlessly."
"So what? Besides, do you think they would agree to let me go?"
