My daughter is very smart and capable, but she is, after all, a woman. An enterprise as large as the Chen family enterprise cannot stand without a capable man at the helm. No matter how capable she is, a woman eventually needs to marry and have children. Without children, what will happen to her when she grows old?
Chen Jianjun could accept his daughter inheriting his business, but he could not accept her remaining unmarried and childless for her entire life. If his daughter never married and had children, he might have to reconsider the matter of his heir.
Chen Ting was well aware of her father's intentions. For one, she knew that besides her, her father had more than one illegitimate child. Moreover, her father also had a younger brother—Chen Ting's uncle. Her uncle, who had two sons, had always wanted to have one of them adopted by her father to inherit the Chen family enterprise.
