Grand Princess Tantai Jinyu had always believed that ever since Zong Weiping of the First Branch died, the First Successor of the Zong Clan's Succession Line should have been her husband, Zong Weiding! It was only because Master Zong had always been ambiguous and refused to confirm Zong Weiding's status as the first legal heir that everyone's attention had gradually shifted to the grown-up Zong Ruoning.
If not for that, why would she have taken such a risk?!

Grand Princess Tantai Jinyu viciously cursed Master Zong in her heart, but she made no further move.

Zong Qianxi stared at her in astonishment, as if she could not believe her own mother would not allow her to speak.
Grand Princess Tantai Jinyu was also beginning to resent this daughter of hers, thinking she was too stupid to understand what she meant.
She took a deep breath, composed herself, and said gently, "Qian Xi, your Grandfather is only angry for the moment. The only one who can help you now is your daddy."
"I'll send him a message right away and have him come over."
Zong Weiding had been in a meeting with Zong Military Industries' senior executives.
Now that the dust had settled, that meeting would most likely be unable to continue.
Grand Princess Tantai Jinyu's heart skipped a beat. Zong Weiding might not know yet
