117 The Past
How could Old Madam Le not understand the logic behind Old Master Le’s words?
She looked at the room that was now full of light and thought about the days eighteen years ago when she was so worried that she couldn’t sleep every night. it seemed that the days were still close.
At that time, the old man was so angry that he had a stroke and was sent to the hospital. His family was on the verge of bankruptcy and being seized, and even the old mansion could not be kept.
At that time, his eldest son stood up and first persuaded the company’s board of directors and partners to sign a gambling agreement with them, which won him half a year. Then, he decisively cut off many of the company’s business lines and focused on one business. Finally, he worked hard to complete the gambling agreement in half a year. After a few more years, the company developed again and gradually grew to its current scale.
And what was Second Uncle Le doing during the most difficult time of the family? He was still living a carefree life abroad. Even when Grandpa Le was sick, he made an excuse that he had to complete his master’s thesis and didn’t come back to take a look.
In those years, the only thing he cared about at home was whether he could get his living expenses on time.
It could be said that everything the Le family had now was basically earned by Papa Le. Therefore, even if Elder Le really favored his youngest son, he couldn’t say that he wanted to give him more shares.
“No, I have to call the boss and ask him to stop some people.” Old Master Le took out his phone. “Look at how crazy my second son is now. He’s been beaten here, but I’m afraid he’ll come for my baby.”
There were only more than ten days left until the college entrance examination. If the second uncle were to make a scene in front of her again, it would scare the baby and hinder her revision. If he accidentally angered the eldest daughter-in-law, she would tear the second uncle’s family apart.
Seeing that he had made the call, Grandma Le added,
“You can also ask the boss about the game. Why does it sound like the baby got it from her classmate?”
She did not think that Le Wan would be so short-sighted as to take advantage of others. She was just afraid that there might be some misunderstanding. If a fight broke out, Le Wan’s reputation would be affected.
“Yes, yes, yes, we do have to ask this clearly.”
From Second Uncle’s tone, Old Master Le could tell that the baby had a close relationship with this male classmate.
He suspected that this male student was the little teacher who taught Le Wan her homework, and also the little boy she wanted to win over. If it was true, then the relationship of interests had to be clarified. Otherwise, the little girl might suffer a big loss because of her feelings.
Unfortunately, Grandpa Le asked the wrong person. When he received his father’s call, he was also confused.
“Dad, don’t worry. I’ll go back tonight and ask what’s going on with the baby.”
As for the matter of Second Uncle Le wanting Le Wan’s games, since the old man had rejected him sternly, there was no need for him to add any more embellishments. In any case, he would never give Second Uncle Le the chance to run to Le Wan.
He made up his mind, but in the end, he received a call from the front desk, saying that Second Uncle Le had come to the company. He had no choice but to invite him up.
“Big brother, your days are really comfortable.” Second Uncle Le was led to the top floor by his secretary. As soon as he entered and saw the wide office, he couldn’t help but feel sad.
As the son of the Le family, if his big brother could take on this position, why couldn’t he?
Papa Le, who had three meetings in a day and only had time to have a bite of lunch, looked at Second Uncle Le, who was dressed in bright and beautiful clothes like he was on a vacation.
“If you’re envious, the room next door is still empty. I’ll get someone to clean it up and you can move in. It just so happens that the company has been busy recently. I’m more than happy to have someone to help me share the burden.”
Second Uncle Le quickly waved his hand to refuse. It wasn’t like he had never come to the company to work before, but what was the use?
His elder brother was his immediate superior, and everyone in the company answered to him. Every morning, he would get up early and rush to the company. If he wanted to do something, he would be hindered everywhere. He was not willing to experience such a day where he could not be the head of the family.
Second Uncle Le didn’t want to continue the conversation, so Papa Le didn’t insist. He pretended to know nothing and asked him,
“You didn’t want to come to the company no matter how I called you before. Why did you suddenly come here today?”
Second Uncle Le dared to be so unscrupulous in front of the Old Master because he knew that no matter how angry the old master was, it would only last for a while. He would be fine after that. However, in front of Brother Le, he was much timider.
This big brother of his had been particularly easy to talk to since he was young, but he was still a little afraid of him. Therefore, in response to his big brother’s question, he honestly and happily told him, and also asked him to support his own business.
