It is evident from this that both father and son are cut from the same cloth. No matter how much they profess their own deep affection and stoic endurance, it cannot mask their selfishness, their deep-seated contempt for women, or the false sense of superiority they harbor in their bones. They are incapable of letting go of the enviable wealth and comfortable lifestyle they enjoy, yet they insist on having someone carry on their family name. It is a classic case of wanting everything while acting completely entitled—utterly shameless.
Under such circumstances, if Cui Chengye, that "lone seedling," were to encounter a problem and become unable to produce another son to inherit the Cui name, would the father and son not collapse and lose their minds together?
[To spend half a lifetime meticulously scheming, only to end up with nothing but a handful of empty air—any person would go mad, surely? I just wonder, if it truly came to that, would Cui Jueyan be directly angered to death, or would he hurry to find someone young and start over again? And could Cui Chengye accept such a result with peace of mind, instead of becoming his father’s sworn enemy?]
