“If the family interest involves your friend’s interest, how do you choose?” Tian Long looked at Tian Donghua and asked.

Tian Donghua didn’t understand why his father, who had never talked about these things with him, suddenly became serious today. He had to ask why it was so. However, Tian Donghua still shrugged and said somewhat helplessly, “Dad, what you said is still too general. Family interests – what kind of interests are they? Friend’s interests – friends to what extent? These will affect my final answer.”

“Well, since you asked this question, then I will talk to you openly and honestly.” Tian Long looked at his son for a while and said, “I rarely talk about these matters to you because you are still young. Besides, my status seems to be very glorious, but it is actually an abnormal embarrassment; I am just a pawn of the Sun Family. But today, what I want to say will be related to the future fate of our Tian Family!”

Tian Family’s fate? Tian Donghua was slightly astounded, and he could not help but sit up straight. Regardless of whether he was involved in previous important family conversations, he couldn’t help but become serious at the moment. Indeed, what Tian Long said was somewhat shocking. How could it be connected to the fate of the family?

“Dad, just say what you want to say.” Tian Donghua nodded. He said, “I know what kinds of things you want me to do, but what exactly do you want me to do?”

“If I say that you had to choose between our family interests and Yang Ming, what choice would you make?” Tian Long said what he wanted to say.

Tian Long initially planned to talk to Tian Donghua after he beat around the bush, but since Tian Donghua asked in advance, Tian Long didn’t need to beat around the bush again, so he said it directly.

“Yang Ming? Family interests?” Tian Donghua was astounded listening to Tian Long’s words, then he immediately said, “Dad, what is the relationship between Yang Ming and our family interests? Are you mistaken?”

Indeed, Tian Donghua would not think that his family interests could be related to Yang Ming. Never mind that they were two irrelevant matters. Yang Ming was in Song Jiang; his family was in Donghai. There would not be any conflict of interest. Therefore, Tian Donghua could not figure out why his father would ask this.

“You don’t care about that first; answer me. If there is such a moment, do you choose to stand on your friend’s side or the family’s?” Tian Long made a gesture and interrupted Tian Donghua’s words. He said one word at a time.

“I…” Tian Donghua hesitated for the first time. Although he didn’t know the reason his father asked, he did have a hard time answering his father’s question. Yang Ming… was the only brother that could get along with him in Song Jiang. Tian Donghua couldn’t do something that would ruin their relationship no matter what. However, family interest… just like how the TV dramas and novels always said: family interests were more important than everything else. Tian Donghua was even hot-blooded when he was watching it, but when it happened to Tian Donghua, he hesitated instead…

Seeing that Tian Donghua didn’t talk, Tian Long frowned and seemed to be annoyed. “Donghua, I always thought that you were a sensible child. Why can’t you make such a simple judgment?”

“Dad, you’re asking me to make a decision, but you have to tell me what is it, right? Is it really related to Yang Ming?” Although Tian Donghua didn’t believe that his family interests could be related to Yang Ming, now his father’s expression and tone were so serious. This made Tian Donghua have a dilemma.

“It’s about our family’s life and death. Can you decide now?” Tian Long raised his tone. He did not expect that Tian Donghua would value Yang Ming so much. Indeed, they lived in the same dormitory. However, even if the friendship between students was important, it wasn’t as important as family matters, right? Tian Long previously didn’t think that convincing Tian Donghua would be a big deal, but now it was different. The relationship between Tian Donghua and Yang Ming seemed to be much better than he imagined.

“This…” Tian Donghua was astounded. He really couldn’t figure out why the Tian Family was in a life and death situation. The Tian Family was in Donghai; although it wasn’t as prominent as the Sun Family, it was not an exaggeration to say that they ruled over Donghai!

How many people in the upper class did not know Tian Long? It could be said that there was almost nothing impossible for the Tian Family in Donghai. Of course, it falls within that reasonable range.

“Dad, are you kidding me? Isn’t our family still doing well? Why is it in a life and death situation?” Tian Donghua forced a smile. “Is the Sun Family going to abandon us?”

“It’s not the Sun Family abandoning us; we’re abandoning the Sun Family!” Since the Sun Family had been controlled by Tian Long, Tian Long didn’t need to hide anymore, so he spoke directly when Tian Donghua asked about it.

“Abandon the Sun Family?” Tian Donghua suddenly changed his face. He was not stupid. He could roughly guess from his father’s expression. “Dad, you mean…”

“Yes, we have rebelled. We want to overthrow the Sun Family and be the first family of Donghai! We will get the company and glory that belonged to the Sun Family!” Tian Long solemnly nodded. “The Sun Family is already under my control. Donghai will soon belong to our Tian Family.”

“Ah!” Tian Donghua had psychological preparations before, but at the moment, he still exclaimed!

However, Tian Donghua didn’t have any particular impression of the Sun Family previously. It wasn’t like having a good or bad impression. Because his father rarely let him be involved in family matters, he only roughly knew about the Sun Family. Aside from seeing Sun Hongjun and Sun Jie a few times, he didn’t have much contact with them.

As for the arrogant Sun Zhiwei, Tian Donghua was disgusted by him from the bottom of his heart. At this moment, when he heard that the Sun Family had fallen, the thing he felt good about was that Sun Zhiwei couldn’t be as high-spirited as before!

But for the other people of the Sun Family and the direction of the Sun Family, Tian Donghua wasn’t very concerned.

“In the future, we no longer have to be afraid of others when we do things.” As Tian Long said up to here, he stood up excitedly and looked at Tian Donghua with a glistening gaze.

Tian Donghua sighed slightly. Although the Sun Family didn’t have a close relationship with him, his heart was also a little uncomfortable at this moment. The Tian Family had always been the servant of the Sun Family, but now they rebelled against their master. This made Tian Donghua feel that it wasn’t appropriate. It would look ugly if this matter were spread.

However, the contest at that level was not something that Tian Donghua could control. It was a matter between his parents. He was only a junior, so he could only listen to it. As long as he stuck to his own bottom line and principles, it would be fine. He could not do anything about everything else.

“Dad, although I don’t understand the matters at your level, and I don’t understand what is so bad about our family’s current situation, why do you want to rebel? I have reservations about this.” Tian Donghua said, “However, you have gotten what you wanted. I don’t understand what this has to do with Yang Ming!”

Tian Long hesitated a moment and said, “Well, since this is the case, I will tell the truth. The reason why this is successful is that there is a mysterious boss behind me. He provided me with the funds enough to buy my loyalty. However, he also made his request, that is the rebellion must involve Song Jiang this time; I did it as well.

“However, besides that, I still needed to agree with the mysterious boss for one more matter. Although the mysterious boss had not said it now, it will definitely be done in the future. This is definitely a very difficult task.

“Fortunately, the mysterious boss said that if I can help him control Yang Ming, he can forget about this matter. Therefore, I want you…”

Tian Donghua listened to his father’s words, and he was somewhat shocked! Is this the father who used to teach me to be loyal when I was young? Why is he so snobbish now?

“What do you want me to do?” Tian Donghua’s tone was a bit cold, and his impression of his father suddenly turned worse. Before, his father had rebelled against the Sun Family. Although he felt that it was not right, he did not say much. After all, he did not understand a lot of things. Maybe the Sun Family had done something wrong to the Tian Family, so his father would only do this.

But now, to repay the mysterious boss behind-the-scenes, Father actually wants me to harm Yang Ming. Is this what a real man should do?

“You find some way to get him to be a guest in our home, and then you don’t have to bother about other matters.” Tian Long said, “As long as he comes to my territory, I will have an arrangement for it.”

After listening to Tian Long’s words, the noble image of his father collapsed in Tian Donghua’s heart. Even the last bit of respect had disappeared too. Tian Donghua would not and could not do this!

Although he and Yang Ming had not known each other for a long time, Yang Ming was definitely a person who he could deem as a friend and a brother! From Yang Ming’s forgiveness of Wang Xue, he could see Yang Ming’s generosity to his friends.

Wang Xue had betrayed Yang Ming once; Tian Donghua would not betray Yang Ming for the second time. This was absolutely impossible. Even if someone threatened him, he would not do so.

If Tian Donghua really did this, he would feel that he was inhuman. So after listening to his father’s words, Tian Donghua immediately repudiated. “No, I will not do this. Yang Ming is my friend. I will not harm him!”

“You…” Tian Long didn’t think that Tian Donghua would be so tough in this matter. This made him somewhat overwhelmed! Initially, Tian Long thought it was a simple matter, and Tian Donghua would definitely promise, but now, it was deadlocked!
