"The rarest thing in our family is true love, isn't it?" Ning Ning said, her eyes filled with soreness, "I used to think that grandparents are true love and can support each other for decades, but at such an old age, they still need to
Turn against each other and become enemies."
"I thought that my parents always loved each other, but my mother told me that she had no choice but to marry her father. The person she loved was someone else, so now that her father passed away, she couldn't wait to get a divorce. Haha, it turns out that
True love is all clouds."
"Uncle, you know, I have liked you since I was a child, not like my father, but I know that you and I can never be together. I hope you can be happy. You are living so tiredly now, and I don't want to see you like this.
"
Zhuo Ling deeply felt that the naughty little girl in front of him had grown up and was able to observe and care about the people around her. He smiled happily and said, "Ning Ning, you have really grown up, but
You don't have to worry about your uncle, I'm not someone who just lets others lead you."
Looking at Ning Ning's expectant eyes, Zhuo Ling said sincerely: "It's better that you don't know many things. Take good care of your mother and go to school well. You don't need to worry about other things. All you need to do is take care of your mother and go to school well."
Remember, no matter what happens, your uncle will take care of you and protect you on behalf of your father, do you understand?"
Ning Ning nodded with red eyes. She thought she would always like her uncle.
In the Zhuo family mansion, the already lively house became even more deserted. Zhuo Qun was not here, Fang Ting was not here, and Ning Ning was not here either. Zhuo Wannian looked at the large table of food alone, without any appetite.
"Master, please eat as much as possible. If you don't eat, how can you succeed?"
Zhuo Wannian picked up the chopsticks, put a piece of meat into the bowl, then silently put the chopsticks down, "Sit down, sit down, you can eat too."
The butler pulled up the stool next to him and sat down, but Zhuo Wannian didn't move his chopsticks, so he didn't dare to move, "Come, sir, have a shrimp, it's very fresh."
"Old Li, you have been working at the Zhuo family for most of your life, right? Look at your home. When have I been the only one eating?"
"Master, this is only temporary."
Zhuo Wannian sat blankly and glanced around the empty living room, "Hey, this family is really going to break up."
"Isn't there still the young lady? The young lady is your granddaughter after all. She will never leave. There is also the second young master. Once the second young master gets married and has children, the family will be lively again."
"Ning Ning will get married when she gets older, but Zhuo Ling doesn't want to come back to live with him. He and An Qi." Zhuo Wannian smiled to himself, "Haha, I hope they can get married smoothly. It would be good to start a family and start a business as soon as possible."
As he said that, Zhuo Wannian frowned again, "Old Li, tell me the truth, what do you think about Fang Ting's matter?"
"Master, this is because the eldest mistress is not good. You don't have to worry about what happened last night. It's not wrong to hit someone, but it's still a beating. It can be regarded as teaching her a lesson. I watched the eldest young master grow up.
I can't even accept it, let alone the old lady. This woman's heart is no longer with the Zhuo family, and she can't keep her if she insists on it."
"Well, I already know what happened to Zhuo Ling?"
"As for the conflict between the second young master and the old lady, I'm afraid it won't be resolved in a short while. The old lady has always disliked the second young master and tried every means to get rid of the second young master. The second young master staying in the Zhuo family is like stepping on the edge of a knife.
Could he not leave? This time, the old lady must have been anxious to attack the second young master. Now that the second young master has become the president of Universal, I don’t think the old lady really wants to kill everyone, she probably just wants to scare him.
"
Zhuo Wannian knocked on the table hard, "Hmph, can you still knock his legs like that if you scare him?"
"I'm just guessing. After all, the old lady is your married couple. Everything should be considered from the positive side."
"That's what I think. I want to tolerate her in every possible way for the sake of being married for many years. Even when she sent people to secretly kill Zhuo Ling's mother, I turned a blind eye. She repeatedly harmed Zhuo Ling.
When have I ever told her that? But she doesn’t think so. The more tolerant I am, the more she pushes forward.”
Lao Li sighed, he had nothing to say when it came to this.
It's rare for the master and servant to sit down and have a heart-to-heart talk. After so many years, Lao Li has always been the person who knows him best.
Suddenly, the sound of a car sounded outside, "Oh, maybe the old lady is back, I'll open the door." Lao Li stood up, walked a few steps and then turned back to remind, "Master, don't argue with the old lady, anyway.
The second young master is fine now. You are so old, do you really want to divorce and separate your family? That is a big joke in Shanghai."
Zhuo Wannian's cloudy eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes. He really didn't want the family to break up, that was all he wished for.
"Old madam, you are back," Lao Li smiled and welcomed Cai Nianlan in, carrying large and small bags. "No, the master is waiting for you to eat."
Cai Nianlan glanced at the dining table. Zhuo Wannian was sitting alone in the restaurant. The lights around him were bright, but they could not hide the depression and desertedness.
White lights, cold dishes, old people, this kind of scene makes people feel distressed.
Cai Nianlan couldn't help but complain, "Old Li, I have to take medicine after meals. How can I do it if I miss the time?"
"Yes, old lady, you must be tired after being out for so long. Come on, I'll get the things. You can go eat quickly."
Cai Nianlan knew that this was the step Lao Li had set for her, and she was not a ungrateful person. "Hey, I'm tired after walking with my sister for so long. I happen to be hungry too. Let's eat."
After the two old men had a big fight in the company, they finally sat down to have dinner together calmly. As a couple for more than 40 years, there are many words that need not be said, and they can be understood just by looking at each other.
"The hospital called and told her that Fang Ting's injuries were all traumatic and nothing serious. She can be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. She probably won't come back. She will find a lawyer tomorrow to see if this is the best way to resolve the matter."
"If you want a divorce, there's no way!" Cai Nianlan cursed through gritted teeth, "Zhuo Qun treats her so well. This woman has no conscience. She can do such shameless things as stealing men outside. My son has become a vegetative state.
She wants to defect to others, which is a bad idea for her, and I will make her pay the price."
"Okay, okay, you are such a hot-tempered person. Don't secretly make trouble whenever you encounter something that doesn't suit your liking. When things happen, just deal with them properly."
Cai Nianlan heard what he said, "Old man, what do you mean? Can you accept your daughter-in-law cuckolding your son? If you don't stand up for your son, don't stop me!"
Zhuo Wannian sighed heavily. He really didn't want to quarrel again. He really didn't have so much energy. "Okay, okay, you can do Fang Ting's matter. I don't want to worry about it, as long as no one is killed."
But Zhuo Ling, you can't touch him anymore, he is now Universal's sole heir, and Universal still has to rely on him."
