Fake Marriage To The Richest Tycoon-Chapter 212: Even Ah Nian trust him
Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Even Ah Nian trust him
Qiao Tan snorted and turned away as he stomped out of the room. In his mind, he made a promise to ruin Pulan and never let her succeed. One day, his children will replace Pulan and they or he himself will be the head of the family.
"The meeting is over. Everyone, you may return to wherever you come from or you can challenge my orders and leave in the same way as Qiao Tan," Grandpa Qiao said.
Everyone exchanged glances and whispers. No one disagree or say anything after what happened with Qiao Tan. It was obvious that they didn’t want to get kick out of the family. Why would anyone be so stupid to get their ass kicked out when you can enjoy a tons and hundreds of benefits by just being born with the surname Qiao? They all wanted part of the cake so they were reluctant to challenge the old man’s orders.
"No one? Good. I take that everyone has agreed then," the old man smiled and turned to his beloved granddaughter.
"My old bones are tired. Come dear, escort me to my room. You too, ShenJi. Help me take my walking stick," the old man gestured for them. Pulan supported him while Qiao ShenJi took the old man’s walking stick.
Pulan looked over her shoulders and watched Qiao Minde walked out of the main hall. His actions surprised her. She expected him to counter her but he didn’t. Did grandpa and Qiao Minde talked about something?
Together, they went up the stairs, down the long seemingly endless hallway and finally to a large room which belonged to Grandpa Qiao.
Once alone in his room, Grandpa Qiao entered a coughing fit and coughed out blood! Poor Pulan’s heart almost stopped and break into pieces.
"Grandpa! Grandpa!"
"I’m okay, I’m okay. Don’t cry, my dear grandchild," he wiped the tears off her cheeks.
"Grandpa!" The girl’s voice held remorse and regret.
Qiao ShenJi knelt by the old man’s side.
"Should I call the doctor?" Qiao ShenJi took out his phone but Grandpa Qiao put a hand over the phone.
"No, if you call, they will know. They won’t let Pulan off. Pulan, don’t feel bad. Grandpa has done everything for you and ShenJi, Ah Nian too. You all are good children, you deserves better," Grandpa Qiao’s voice was weak.
He took a handkerchief and wiped away the blood, making himself presentable.
"Grandpa, I only want you to live happily," Pulan cried, tears stained her fair cheeks.
"But Grandpa can only happy if you all live happily. Qiao Minde will be in charge of you in the future. This is all thanks to him that I can bring you back to the family,"
"What?" Pulan furrowed her brows.
"Don’t you know?" Grandpa Qiao sounded surprise. But then he shook his head.
"What do you mean, grandpa?" Qiao ShenJi was equally surprised and confused as well.
"It seems like he didn’t tell you anything," he sighed. "Then I will tell you. The only reason why you can safely arrive here is because of Qiao Minde. Don’t you know that someone wanted to knock your car over on the highway?"
Pulan gasped, Qiao ShenJi’s eyes widened.
"But Minde prevented them from harming you. He has prepared the position of chairwoman for you,"
"But why?" Pulan couldn’t understand what was happening.
"Actually, I wanted to make you the General Manager in the company. It was Minde who suggested that I gave up my position to you,"
"But isn’t that....."
"Isn’t that forcing me to give up my position to Pulan? Then he can control Pulan?"
Qiao ShenJi nodded.
"No. By giving my position to Pulan, the company will be more steady. Of I fire Qiao Tan because of his misdeeds, it will create more trouble. Minde is far sighted. I suggest you follow him in the future. Don’t look down on him because of what happened in the past,"
Qiao Tan was the General Manager of the Qiao Group. Naturally he had many people supporting him so it’ll be hard to topple him. Qiao Tan wanted the position of chairman but it was given to Pulan. That way, the top positions in the company will still be united.
Pulan and Qiao ShenJi exchanged looks. It seems like Grandpa Qiao knew about what happened in the past.
"Grandpa...."
"Pulan, ShenJi, I know you have some misunderstandings with Minde. I know about it. Ask yourself, did Minde ever make life hard for you? Did he ever stopped you from doing what you want? Why don’t you talk about it with him?" Grandpa Qiao took ShenJi’s hand and placed it over Pulan’s.
"Grandpa can’t take care of you anymore. In the future, you are on your own. But I want you to remember, that Qiao Minde is someone who you can trust. Grandpa trusts him,"
At night, Qiao ShenJi and Pulan returned to their house. Pulan threw her tired body down on the bed, running a hand through her hair, thinking deeply.
Misunderstandings... So there was some misunderstandings between them. Pulan thought back to the way Qiao Nian looked up to Qiao Minde. Qiao Nian always say good things about Qiao Minde.
Then why did Qiao Minde punched Qiao ShenJi in the face many years ago? Why did he pointed a gun at ShenJi? What was going on?
Qiao Minde didn’t say much back then.
"Be careful. The roads are winding and steep. Don’t cross my path," That was the warning he gave that year. Then he walked off and disappeared for years.
Pulan was frightened by the gun which was why she couldn’t get that image out of her mind.
"What’s wrong? Thinking about what grandpa said about Qiao Minde?" Qiao ShenJi walked over and passed her a cup of warm tea. freewёbnoνel.com
"I’m confused. He trust Qiao Minde so much. Even Ah Nian trust him,"
"Since grandpa trusts him, why don’t we visit him?" ShenJi said after thinking for a while.
"Then are you willing to let it go?" Pulan asked her husband. After all, it was actually her husband who suffered when the gun was pointed at his head.
