Domineering Lover novel Chapter 650

Rocco was stunned by this question, "Well, we immigrated into the US in the last century. The elders miss their homeland, though in the US."

"Every generation has to learn Chinese, Chinese culture, and history after born. It is said that we live in the Cao camp but with our heart in the Han camp."

"At home, we speak Chinese only, and English is used to communicate with outsiders and for work.

I know a lot, though my visit to China is few."

"I see. No wonder your Chinese has no strange accent like other foreigners."

"Of course. I will get beaten up if the elders hear me speaking English at home." Rocco teased.

"Wow, you domestic discipline is quite strict." The image of a serious little old man popped into Renee's mind.

"More than strict, it's freaky." Rocco smiled disapprovingly. Only he himself knew how much bitterness there was in his smile.

The potential successor would be trained strictly, once chosen. And Tina had been through nonhuman training from childhood.

She was smart, but the abnormal training took most credits for her excellence now. AfterTina disappeared, the elders decided to train a backup successor in case of accidents.

At first, Nina was chosen. She threatened her own life to refuse this responsibility, though young.

Then, male chauvinism stirred in the family. The men who wanted power recommended Rocco.

It was an awkward position, a back-up successor.

He would be the only successor when turning 18, and Tina was still away. That was how the elders promised him.

Rocco was instilled with ideas like women should stay home and take care of children. It was time for men to regain power after all these years when women took charge of everything in this ancient family.

It was 21 century, and the family was not mysterious anymore. Their family mission had died away with the Qing Dynasty long ago.

Divination was lost, and the R family built its own business empire. However, women were still in charge of the business and family, so male descendants began to be disgruntled.

With a promise to overturn the tradition, Rocco was pushed to the post of a backup successor. To excel Tina, Rocco had to study hard.

He skipped several grades like Tina, and the elders took him seriously.

Rocco had no ambition at first, though chosen. However, the male elders kept brainwashing him into getting the post of the patriarch. Gradually, he became interested in it.

Then, Tina was back and became the successor, though Rocco prepared hard for the post.

The elders in the family apologized and promised him the post of vice-president in the company.

There wouldn't be a disappointment if there was no expectation. Rocco felt indignant of being driving down from that top level.

Since God took his chance away, he would like to create one for his own. He worked harder and submissive to Tina on the surface.

He was determined to get everything he wanted through his own efforts one day.
