"Young Master, once tomorrow passes, Uncle Quan doesn’t know when he’ll be able to nag at you again." Uncle Quan’s hair was graying, and being addressed by the Young Master stirred feelings within him, "Uncle Quan is old now, and who knows when I’ll kick the bucket for real and won’t be able to say anything to you."
Beitang Yao’s sword-like eyebrows furrowed tightly, stirring a sense of pity in others, his thin lips slightly parted, "Uncle Quan, if you don’t like the United Kingdom, then co back with tomorrow. I’ll have soone send you back to the castle, Grandfather needs you."
Uncle Quan shook his head with a gentle sigh, "No, Young Master, this is the fate I deserve. As long as the Old Master is doing well, I am at peace." The Old Master’s thods have always been incredibly firm; no one can defy the decisions he makes.
Over a dozen years ago, he made a mistake, and the Old Master punished him to live in the United Kingdom, alone and lonely until old age, which was a light punishnt. His children visit him from thousands of miles away every year to spend New Year’s Eve in the United Kingdom, eating reunion dinner together as a family.
"Uncle Quan, what happened back then that made Grandfather treat you this way? Doesn’t Grandfather know that when one is old, the most important and needed thing is deep familial affection? Grandfather left Uncle Quan’s children in their holand, while Uncle Quan was alone in the United Kingdom."
Logically and emotionally, Grandfather shouldn’t have treated Uncle Quan this way, especially since Uncle Quan has been by Grandfather’s side since he was young. Their relationship was as close as brothers. What exactly caused Grandfather to treat Uncle Quan like this?
"Young Master, it was just a small mistake I made, so the Old Master wanted to make clear distinctions between reward and punishnt. The Old Master already treated well enough, and I have no regrets." However, he still had many things to say to the Old Master in his heart, fearing that in this lifeti, the Old Master wouldn’t want to see him again.
"What exactly was the small mistake? Don’t be afraid to tell ; Grandfather has always respected my opinions. Uncle Quan, you’ve always valued being together with family the most, how can you bear to wrong yourself?" Beitang Yao rose from the bed, his brows still furrowed, as he looked at the very aged face of Uncle Quan and spoke softly.
As long as he speaks, there’s nothing Grandfather won’t agree to. The Beitang Family is a large family, but among the many grandchildren, Grandfather loves him the most, which is why he inherited the entire Beitang Group’s assets worth hundreds of billions.
It’s not that others in the Beitang Family don’t have the right to inherit, but who can alter the decision set by the Old Master?
Besides, in the entire family, only Beitang Yao is qualified to be the Chairman and CEO of the Group; others are dispatched to work in subsidiary companies.
Beitang Yao didn’t let Grandfather or Father down, as the Group’s performance multiplied several tis within the few short years after he took over, becoming the most influential and strongest group globally.
"Young Master, there’s no question of grievance or not. This path is what I chose for myself." Back then, when the Old Master wanted to expel him from the castle, he knelt and begged the Old Master not to drive him away, as long as he could still contribute his abilities to the Beitang Family. Only then did the Old Master relent and let him manage the villa alone in the United Kingdom.
Beitang Yao pondered, since Uncle Quan didn’t want to bring it up, he decided not to continue questioning, "Uncle Quan, if you ever want to return, just let know, I’ll have arrangents made."
"Thank you, Young Master, for your trouble." Uncle Quan truly appreciated the Young Master’s willingness to do these things for him, but he dared not ask for too much, feeling already satisfied in his heart.
