Chapter 75 – Making Trouble in the Dark
Raising her eyes to look at Nangong asked, Mia said word for word, “Grandpa gave me the Shengshi Group, and he’s sick right now, how can I fail his hopes? If Asher can help me hold the group in my hands, what can’t I do to help him with an operation?”
Nangong asked frozen, not speaking for half a day, until he saw Mia walking towards the office door, then he snapped to attention and silently followed behind her.
But after Asher returned to the villa, Jun Haotian was naturally overjoyed to learn that Grandpa Jun would soon be ready for surgery.
“Cough cough … Asher, what are you guys talking about and why are you so happy?” Somehow, Grandpa Jun had come to his senses and struggled to sit up, and before he could do so, he started coughing incessantly.
Over the past five years, he’s gotten worse and worse, and even his personal doctor is gradually running out of ways to control his condition.
Jun Haotian and Asher hurriedly helped Grandpa Jun up, and after Jun Haotian sat him down, he said, “Dad, it’s Asher who helped you find a specialist in heart, and you should be happy that the surgery was done recently.”
“A specialist in heart?” Grandpa Jun froze, a bitter smile appearing on his wrinkled face, “My health is getting worse and worse, I can’t believe I need to get a specialist to operate on it!”
“Grandpa, even if your body is hard, it’s better to find a specialist than those quacks. Besides, as long as you recover, my parents will be relieved.” Seeing that Grandpa Jun was faintly tinged with sadness, Asher hurriedly said in comfort.
In the past five years, because of Liam Jun’s death, Grandpa Jun’s temper has been spared a lot, his speech and actions are much softer than before, and the two grandchildren have only become much closer.
Grandpa Jun patted Asher’s hand and sounded sad, “Well, since it’s a piece of mind for you and your parents, just do what you have arranged, and let me meet that doctor when I can and start preparing for the surgery!”
“This …” Asher hesitated a little when he saw Grandpa Jun wanted to see Mia, and didn’t answer after a slight pause.
Grandpa Jun sensitively caught his hesitation and opened his mouth to ask, “Asher, what, can’t you see a doctor?”
“That’s not really true, it’s just that she has a full schedule, so it’s going to be a little less convenient to schedule.” Asher made the excuse that he simply didn’t know how to tell Grandpa Jun that the attending doctor this time, was Mia, who he had previously looked down upon the most!
Jun Haotian also followed closely to explain, “Dad, you’d better rest, you don’t need to worry about this matter, just wait for the surgery.”
“Alas, you have suffered all these days that I have been sick.” Grandpa Jun looked at his son, then at his grandson, and let out a long sigh.
He never thought that this day would come for his body.
“Dad, what are you talking about, these are all things we should do. Your main task now, is to get well and just wait for the surgery, Asher will arrange for the surgery.” Jun Haotian patiently comforted Grandpa Jun.
“Well, then I’ll just wait for the surgery.” After a moment of silence, Grandpa Jun nodded and said.
Grandpa Jun’s scowl grew despondent.
Unable to bear seeing the despondency on Grandpa Jun’s face, Asher said lightly, “Grandpa, Dad, I’m going to rest now.”
“Asher, you’d better wait a bit, Lina is coming over later, it’s not appropriate for you to leave.” Without waiting for Asher to take a step, Jun Haotian reminded.
“What’s she doing here?” Asher frowned in disgust and asked impatiently in return.
“You kid, Xiao Na is your fiancee, isn’t it normal for her to come and visit now that Grandpa is sick, ahem … it’s been five years and you haven’t agreed to get married, there’s no way to account for it if you keep dragging it out.” Mentioning this matter, Grandpa Jun’s anger came up again.
For five years, Asher had refused to consummate his marriage to Leena on various excuses, and he naturally knew the reason in his mind, but he couldn’t resist his grandson, so he just put it off.
Now seeing Asher rejecting Riina so much, he was naturally upset and coughing in anger.
Jun Haotian hurriedly smoothed his breath and lectured Asher without good grace, “Asher, what time is it now, can’t you just obey grandpa? No leaving now, Lina will be here later.”
As soon as his words fell, he saw a scantily clad Lina walking in with a big pile of stuff all smiles, “Grandpa, are you feeling better? I just walked to the door when I heard uncle say that I’m coming soon, uncle is really accurate in his calculations!”
“Grandpa is happy that you’re here, why are you carrying so many things?” After seeing Leena, Grandpa Jun’s face unconsciously showed a smile.
After seeing Leena sit down, Asher said coldly, “You’re running quite hard every day …”
“Ahem … Xiao Na, it’s getting late, why did you think of coming, Asher means that it’s not safe for you to be a girl this late, but he’s cold natured and has never been very good at talking, so don’t take it to heart.” Grandpa Jun interrupted Asher and hurriedly rounded up for him.
Riina’s face was slightly embarrassed, but quickly adjusted and sat affectionately on Grandpa Jun’s bedside, glancing at Asher and saying, “I heard them say that Grandpa was about to have surgery, so I came to visit and cheer him up.”
“Little Na, you are quite well-informed, but Grandpa still wants to thank you for being so attentive.” Patting Leena’s hand benevolently, Grandpa Jun smiled very happily.
Asher’s face sank and his voice turned colder, “Leena, how did you know that grandpa was going to have surgery? It’s something I just told grandpa about …”
“Asher, why are you being so mean, Na is concerned about Grandpa’s condition, so naturally she has a way of knowing.” Before Asher could finish his words, he was interrupted by Grandpa Jun.
A hint of smugness flashed at the bottom of Riina’s eyes, and she asked with a concerned face, “Grandpa, which doctor will be the main surgeon this time, you must choose the right one. Otherwise, I’ll ask my daddy to recommend one for you?”
“Xiao Na, your kindness is appreciated by Grandpa, but Asher has already found a specialist for Grandpa and will soon operate, so don’t worry about it.” Seeing Leena being good and understanding, Grandpa Jun looked even happier.
Asher and Jun Haotian looked at each other without saying a word.
With a flash in her eyes, Riina asked with unusual curiosity, “An expert? Grandpa, who is the expert Asher is looking for? Is it that Miss Leng?”
“Who is Miss Cold?” Puzzled for half a second, Grandpa Jun twisted his head to ask Asher.
Asher glanced coldly at Lina but had to answer, “Grandpa, Miss Leng is the specialist I hired for you in heart disease, the doctor who will operate on you this time.”
“What’s her story? How come I’ve never heard of her before?” Frowning, Grandpa Jun craned his head to look at Asher.
After looking at Asher, Li Na quickly picked up her mouth and said, “Grandpa, this Miss Leng is quite something, it seems that not only is she an expert in heart disease, but she is also the president of Shengshi Group! ”
“Shut up, no one thinks you’re dumb if you don’t talk!” Before Riina could finish her words, Asher coldly opened his mouth to reprimand.
Jun Haotian also looked at Asher curiously and asked without worry, “Asher, just now I didn’t ask you either, what the hell is going on here? Is this Miss Leng trustworthy or not? How could she be the president of the Shengshi Group again?”
“Uncle, this Miss Leng you’ve actually met, I think, she’s actually Mia!” the corners of her lips curled up in a cold smile, and Lina said quickly.
“What?” Grandpa Jun sat up straight with a jerk, his suspicious gaze piercing Asher, “Asher, what the hell is going on here? This Miss Cold is the woman?”
Asher’s icy gaze stabbed at Riina, pausing for a moment to twist her head to look at Grandpa Jun and Jun Haotian, “Grandpa, she just looks like her, don’t listen to her!”
“Asher, how am I nonsense …,” said Lena, a little anxious, and her voice involuntarily drew up with the usual sharpness.
“Bullshit?” Grandpa Jun’s eyes burned into Asher, “Asher, it’s you who has a personal agenda, isn’t it? Na was just telling the truth, how is that nonsense? No wonder, you didn’t let me see the attending doctor when I said I wanted to see him just now, so that’s why!”
Grandpa Jun was shaking with anger and pointed his finger at Asher, unable to speak for half a day.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Jun Haotian hurriedly rounded up, “Dad, you don’t get angry, there are more people who look alike, and you can’t just assume that Miss Leng is Miss Luo, right? Besides, Asher is trying to make you feel better sooner, there is no other meaning …”
“Hmph, it better be nothing else.” Grandpa Jun coughed for a while and grunted coldly, “Well, don’t say anything else, set a date tomorrow, I want to meet this Miss Leng.”
“Grandpa …” A bad feeling rose in his mind as Asher tried to disabuse Grandpa Jun of the idea of seeing Mia.
Who expected that Grandpa Jun immediately pulled down a face and said in a cold voice, “Even if it’s not that woman, I always need to see my heart before doing the surgery to feel at ease, isn’t it okay?”
“Asher, just arrange for grandpa to meet that Miss Leng, besides, only after meeting her can we feel at ease, right?” Seeing the stiff atmosphere, Jun Haotian also said to Asher.
Seeing Asher’s hesitation to say yes, Leena added fuel to the fire, “Asher, didn’t you say it just looks like that, and if it just looks like that, why do you insist on not letting grandpa meet it? Is there some kind of ghost?”
“Okay, Grandpa, I’ll arrange it so you can meet her, and maybe you’ll be relieved.” Glancing coldly at Leena, Asher had no choice but to agree.
However, he was more worried in his mind that if Grandpa Jun saw Mia, he might not even do this operation.
