Chapter 316: 316 Family?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Zhuang Lius return to the capital this time was not only to send his mother back, but also for the family meeting that his grandfather was going to hold. Zhuang Lius father was the head of the Zhuang family on the surface, but Old Master Zhuang was actually the head of the Zhuang family. He was not dead yet, so no matter how powerful his son and grandson were, they would not surpa.s.s him.

Zhuang Liu sat in his wheelchair and listened to his grandfathers lecture while the rest of his uncles and cousins remained standing.

Suddenly, the phone in his pocket vibrated. He wasnt supposed to read the message, but he felt that this message might have been sent by Tan Rou, so he secretly took out his phone to read it.

It was indeed from Tan Rou. Tan Rou asked him if he had contributed to the Tan familys matter.

Zhuang Liu couldnt help but smile. Then, he put his hand on the side of his leg and typed with difficulty, You saw it? Are you mad at me about it?

Tan Rou replied, Why would I be angry? Thank you.

Why are you being so polite with me? Zhuang Liu replied.

..

Fine. When will you be coming back then?

Maybe next week. Zhuang Liu had just finished typing when a reminder popped up. It reminded him to accompany Tan Rou to the Lu familys house, but he couldnt go this week, so he added, 1 probably cant accompany you to the Lu familys house this weekend.

Its fine. 1 still have to go to cla.s.s. 111 talk to you later.

Zhuang Liu replied, Okay.

When he put away his phone and looked up, he realized that everyone in the room was looking at him. The smile on his face immediately disappeared, and he pretended that nothing had happened.

Zhuang Lius third uncle smiled and asked, Whats the matter? You were smiling so happily. You dont even care about the old master anymore.

Old Master Zhuangs expression was serious. It was hard to tell if he was angry or not.

Look at Liu. Hes probably texting his girlfriend. One of Zhuang Lius cousins said maliciously, If you have a girlfriend, you should bring her home. Ever since your engagement was broken off by the Tan family, Grandma has been actively looking for a partner for you.

Zhuang Liu smiled bitterly and stared at his legs. Brother, you must be joking. Im about to die, why should I go out and about being a burden to other girls. Besides, why do you care about this? If I get married and have children, will you really be happy for me?

Hey, dont say that. Zhuang Lius cousin said, Were a family. Of course, we hope that youll be well. Even if you are going to die, you should still leave a descendant in this world.

Zhuang Liu clenched his fists tightly.

Enough. Old Master Zhuang said, Thats all for todays meeting. You can all go back. Xiao Liu, stay behind.

When there were only the two of them left in the study, the old mans expression softened. He looked at Zhuang Liu and asked, Xiao Liu, hows business over there?

Zhuang Liu replied, Theyre all making profits now. Grandpa also saw last years financial report. The profit of the branch company there accounted for 37% of the total profit of the Zhuang family. The profits for the first two quarters of this year are also rising. 1 think the financial report at the end of this year will be excellent as well.

Old Master Zhuang was satisfied with his achievements and was also very happy with his grandson. To be honest, Zhuang Liu was the most capable amongst all of his descendants. He was even more capable than his own father. Back then, he had given the position of the family head to Zhuang Lius father because he had taken a fancy to Zhuang Liu. Unfortunately

Hows your leg? Old Master Zhuang asked.

Zhuang Liu didnt plan to tell him the truth. It has been the same. Uncle Bai said that its getting worse. 1 wonder how many more years it can last.

Old Master Zhuang was heartbroken. If it were not for Zhuang Lius leg, he would not have to spend so much effort to train the other successors. Zhuang Liu would have been enough.

Have you considered coming back to manage the company in the Capital? Old Master Zhuang asked again.

Zhuang Liu was doing well there. He would be crazy to come back, so he rejected Old Master Zhuangs suggestion. Grandpa, I still think that they need me in the company.

Old Master Zhuang was also reluctant to part with the profits from the other side. A profit of 37% was not something that any other branch companies or even the main company could achieve.

Alright, alright. If you have any requests, feel free to tell me. Old Master Zhuang did not say anything else.

Zhuang Liu thought for a moment and said, I would like for Mom to stay with me for a longer time.

Old Master Zhuang did not want to agree to that. Didnt she just go there a while ago?

She went there for a vacation. She came back after a few days. Zhuang Liu refused to give in. 1 would like for her to stay with me for a few months at least.

Whos going to take care of your father if she goes there? Old Master Zhuang asked.

Zhuang Liu smiled slightly. Of course well go together. Were a family.. How can we be separated?
