Song Huifen was montarily stunned by her son's request. She wasn't hearing things, right? Her son actually told her that he intended for the Tang twins to bear the Song na instead of becoming Fengs.
Why? She wondered. Although it would be the best for the little buns to join her family to gain protection, she wasn't certain why her son was asking her for this.
"Tianyi, are you sure? Are you sure you want this?" She had to be sure of her son's decision, in case he might regret it later. Although it wasn't certain if he and the empress would eventually get married or not, for Tianyi to consider this, he'd thought that far to prepare ahead.
True. Song Huifen was the head of the Song family at the mont. Her relatives hadn't opposed her throughout the years because she'd proven herself as a capable leader. However, they were wary to accept Feng Tianyi as the next successor because he didn't bear the family na.
"Yes. If Moyu and I to decide to marry, please allow Baobao and Little Star to bear your family na instead of mine." Feng Tianyi repeated what he said, not breaking his eye contact with his mother.
"But why?" Song Huifen couldn't understand. She couldn't understand her son's intention at all. Their relationship wasn't the best. It was also rare for her son to seek her help.
"Mother, I admit I haven't been a good son to you." Feng Tianyi lifted a hand to stop his mother from interrupting him. "Please let finish. I've given it a good thought for days and I think this is for the best."
"Throughout the years, I've only caused you pain and trouble, Mother. I have pushed my responsibilities in the company to you, even now... I also don't wish for Baobao and Little Star to be associated with any of the Feng family mbers. My father's legacy...It will end with ."
The old woman's lips trembled, her eyes shone with tears as she looked at her son. Tianyi had never been this open to her. Since his accident, Tianyi had chosen to cut his ties with everyone around him, refusing to accept help or company of another person.
For the longest ti, she thought that he'd blad her for the failed marriage she had with his father. She regretted not having to claim his custody as soon as she could. It had been a critical point in their relationship as mother and son.
The first ti she heard about Feng Tianyi's accident, she'd been hysterical and had been crying non stop. She couldn't rember how she managed to watch her son wither each day since then. He wouldn't accept the rehabilitation therapy arrangents after his successful surgeries and had chosen to isolate himself in France for a long ti.
It was hard for Song Huifen to see her son lose hope in living. Even now, she couldn't believe she was able to see him smiling like this again. If he hadn't t the two little buns, Song Huifen was sure that she would never be able to have her son back.
"If you are sure…" she looked at him warily. Was he even aware of the implication of his request? There was no turning back once the little buns joined the Song family.
By joining the Song family, this also ant that her son would withdraw his right over the succession of the Qing Tian Group. The right would automatically skip a generation and would be given to either Tang Feiyu or Tang Feixiu, ultimately labelling them as its next successor. Feng Tianyi wouldn't be able to regain his right once it happens.
Once the twins bore the Song na, they would have no choice but to follow the traditions of the family, and would be expected to follow the rules. Though, maybe this was for the better. Their golden blood would be prone to be sought by people with malintent, and that places them in constant danger. Being protected by the Song family adds another layer to their safety asure.
This will also lessen the burden on Tang Moyu's children. She had done a good job of protecting and taking care of the twins for the past years on her own, and it was ti for Feng Tianyi and the Song family to do their part for the welfare of the two children.
"I'm sure of this, Mother. I think Baobao and Little Star would be the best candidates to succeed you in the future, not . This son of yours is useless. He's not as good as you or as the good as the empress. I know I haven't been able to help you for so ti now." Feng Tianyi laughed to himself, aware of his mother's doubts.
He was willing to start a new company with the fallen empress, but he still hadn't taken over his responsibilities in Qing Tian Group. It must have been hard for his mother, working on her own.
But Feng Tianyi knew his limitations. He wasn't as good and as business savvy as Tang Moyu. Perhaps this was the reason why his father refused to give him Feng Conglorate. Still, wasn't it his birthright as the firstborn son?
What did his stupid brother had that he didn't, that allowed Feng Tianhua to inherit everything he should have? Even the chance of being betrothed to Tang Moyu had been taken by his little brother.
He shook his head. It was too late to ponder what his old man was thinking about back then. Just as much as he cannot return the five years he'd wasted away from his little buns, he would never get his answer. From this day onwards, Baobao and Little Star wouldn't have to worry about not having a daddy anymore.
"If that is your wish then…" Song Huifen tried to see if there's a hint of hesitation on her son's face, but there was none. "Fine. Tang Feiyu and Tang Feixiu will join the Song family once you and Moyu get married. But you would need to explain this to her yourself."
Feng Tianyi smiled and nodded before forcing himself back on his feet to leave the room.
"Thank you, Mother. I owe you so much."
