The less capable people are, the more they like to blame others, and that's exactly how Sheng Yukai was behaving.
He blamed everything on Sheng Hai, talking back to him loudly and openly.
The father and son were arguing in the study, and in a fit of rage, Sheng Hai burst out, "You useless fool, don't think there's no one to take my place after I leave. Even if Sheng Zerong doesn't want to take over the Sheng family, don't forget I have other sons, each one no worse than you!"
These words stunned Sheng Yukai. He knelt before his father with a thud, weeping and apologizing profusely, "Dad, you can't do this, I'm your favorite son. I'll change, I definitely will..."
Sheng Hai believed him, and even felt a bit proud.
Had he known that intimidating his son was effective, he would have resorted to this method sooner. Sheng Hai deliberately maintained a stern face and scolded him, but Sheng Yukai bowed his head and accepted each rebuke with a submissive attitude.
