Zhai Jing glanced at the old building not far away. That was his home. His mother was still waiting for him at home to have lunch together.
Lin Hui’s “hmm” came from the other end of the microphone.
“There is indeed something urgent that needs you to deal with.”
Zhai Jing looked at the time. It was already 11 0’clock.
“How about this? It’s almost lunchtime. I’ll go home and rest first. I’ll go to the company when I go to work in the afternoon.”
“Alright, I’ll wait for you then.” Lin Hui hung up.
After Zhai Jing returned home, Mother Zhai was very happy.
“You must be tired. Go wash up first. Come out for dinner later. I’ve prepared your favorite dishes and soup for you.”
Zhai Jing glanced at the delicious dishes on the table. It was obvious that it took a lot of time and effort to make them.
“Just make some. There’s no need to prepare so much. What if you’re tired?”
“I’m just making some dishes. How can I be tired?”
Mother Zhai, who had recovered well after the surgery, had a relaxed smile on her face. She couldn’t do heavy work now, but she could handle simple grocery shopping and cooking.
All these years, due to her poor health, she hadn’t even cooked a proper meal for Zhai Jing. Now that her health had finally improved, Mother Zhai couldn’t rest for a while. However, she knew that Zhai Jing was worried about her health. Therefore, she was more willing to show her active and lively side.
“I saw that my house was very empty, so when I passed by the vegetable market, I saw the flower and fish market and thought about buying some flowers and fish to raise.”
“Flowers can be raised, but it is a little troublesome to raise fish…
While the mother and son were discussing some trivial matters, the atmosphere in the Le family wasn’t so good.
Even though Second Uncle Le didn’t know that the eldest branch had returned home today, he was blocking the entrance of the villa today. Thus, he jumped out the moment Le Wan and the others entered the villa.
“Oh, my good big brother and sister-in-law, you’re finally willing to come back. I thought you were having so much fun outside that you didn’t want to come back.”
It seemed that Second Uncle Le had been holding it in for the past few days, so he started to speak sarcastically as soon as he came up.
“I want to rest outside for a few more days, but after all, everyone’s company is still here. I can’t just leave them alone. How I wish I could be like you, holding my hands all day long and having nothing to do, swaying here and there. It’s a pity that I’m born to work hard. Fortunately, I still have some ability. Otherwise, if I were like you, the entire Le family would have long gone to the northwest to drink the wind.”
In the past, Papa Le might have tolerated Second Uncle Le and let him say a few words. But now that Papa Le knew about the second branch’s actions and their ambitions, he was no longer as accommodating and tolerant of Second Uncle Le as he used to be. Therefore, when faced with Second Uncle Le’s sarcasm, he immediately went straight to the point.
As expected, Uncle Le’s expression changed when he heard this. He snorted coldly.
“If Big Brother thinks that managing the company is troublesome, you can give it up. No one is forcing you to work so hard.”
“Give it to you?” Father Le retorted, “I don’t want to watch Le Group go bankrupt a year later. After all, I don’t have the energy to revive the company like I did back then.”
Over the years, Uncle Le started many companies to start his own business. In the end, none of them lasted more than a year. The company that lasted the longest closed down one day before its anniversary.
Therefore, many people were spreading the rumor that Second Uncle Le had a curse of “not being able to last more than a year”. Although, this was only a rumor. However, Father Le had said it out loud, which made Second Uncle Le so angry that his face turned pale and he was speechless.
“Alright, don’t stand here and embarrass yourself. If you have anything to say, come into the study room and talk.”
“I’m not going!” Second Uncle Le straightened his neck and said,
“Tell me first, where’s my old man and old lady? Where did you hide them? You didn’t even say a word and took them away. Are you hiding some bad intentions behind it?”
It was almost obvious that Papa Le and the others were scheming behind the scenes. What were they plotting?
“Then what do you think I’m after?” Papa Le laughed in anger. “The company is now in my hands, and part of the real estate is in my hands.. Tell me, why did I hide them? Was I trying to get the antique paintings in our fathers hands? Or the jewelry in our mother’s hands?”
