The fact that they had disowned each other wasn't public knowledge. However, after years of seeing no interaction between the two, people could probably guess at the discord between father and son.
The fact that the son he refused to acknowledge was becoming increasingly successful and accomplished was frustrating enough for Shen Zhengfeng.
What frustrated him even more was that woman, Du Liya. The woman who had once professed her undying love for him, claiming she couldn't live without him, had divorced him and, not long after, married a man so much younger than her!
She even had a daughter with him!
Rumor had it that this man, Beidou, was not only younger than Du Liya but also wealthier. He supposedly doted on her as if she were a little girl, either taking her on trips around the world or buying her a private Rose Manor.
As far as Shen Zhengfeng was concerned, this Beidou was a complete fool!
