When Eric went upstairs, Simon, Jade and Richard were standing at the door of Wayne's room. They
must have been called out.
Eric didn't go to see Jade and Simon. Instead, he gave an apologetic look at his father and said, "Dad,
I..."
"I know what you want to say." Richard interrupted him, "Let's go in first. Grandpa is waiting for you."
"Yes." After taking a deep breath, Eric pushed the door open and entered the room. Kerr was about to
go into the room, but was stopped by Richard.
"Mr. Kerr, this is a private matter of the Gu family. I'm afraid it is not suitable for you to enter."
Looking at Richard, Kerr smiled politely and said, "I just want to say a few words with him and I will not
interfere in your family affairs. I'll come out right after I finish my words. I'm sure Mr. Wayne will be
interested in it."
Richard felt confused, and he then refused politely, "Mr. Kerr, my father doesn't feel well and it's not
convenient to entertain."
"Let him in." At this time, there was a very weak voice from the room.
Hearing this, Richard looked into the room and then looked at Kerr before he let him in.
In the room, Wayne was sitting on the bed, looking tired and pale. Jarvis, the family doctor of Gu family,
stood by the bed, while Eric, who stood opposite to Wayne, frowned as if he was thinking about
something.
When Wayne saw Kerr, he looked at him with indifference, "Mr. Kerr, what do you want to say?"
"Mr. Gu, after a few words, I will leave. I won't bother you to have a rest." He said politely.
"I'm listening."
Seeing his tone, Kerr was a little displeased, but he didn't show it too obviously. He said, "I think you've
heard about something about the Qiao family before. As I said before, I came to the Gu family today as
Lily's father. Although I'm not her biological father, I've always regarded her as my own daughter. I
know that you've heard about the marriage between the two families, You always don't agree. I know
what you are thinking."
After a pause, he continued, "Since ancient times, businessmen always put their interests first. I'll make
it clear to you today. If you're not happy with my words, please forgive me."
Wayne didn't say anything, waiting for him to continue.
On the other side, Eric turned his head to look at him with a serious look in his black eyes. He seemed
to know something.
Then Kerr continued, "You didn't agree with the marriage of Eric and Lily because you thought if two
children of the Gu family were to be married to the Qiao family, it would bring little profit to both sides.
And if you want to maximize the benefits, you'd better marry a strong family with him. And I want to say,
since I treat Lily as my own daughter, then there is a share of hers, and it will definitely not be small. Mr.
Wayne, I have said so much about it, I think you should understand what it means."
Wayne raised his eyebrows, seeming not to expect that he would really be so straightforward. In other
words, he was trading the company's interest with children.
"Mr. Kerr, are you satirizing me?"
"That depends on you. If you insist on disagree with their marriage, I'll ask my lawyer to draft more
papers as soon as we get back. I'll transfer 15% of my company's shares to Lily. Are you okay with
that?" he requested.
"Thank you for your generosity." "With all due respect, you are Lily's father. Is it true?"
Kerr smiled, "Soon. I hope you can attend my wedding feast."
"It seems that Mr. Kerr is also a blunt person. You have thought for her so much before you has been
her father." Said Wayne indifferently.
"Love her, love her child." "I am serious. And I hope you can consider my words. It was not easy for the
two children to be together step by step. At first, I disagreed with it, but they made me astonished a lot.
They had suffered a lot, which was that many people had never experienced. Now that I have said so,
if you still hold on to your decision just now, just forget about what I said."
He looked at Eric and patted him on the shoulder, "No matter what choice you make, I will support
you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left, just as he said.
When Kerr left the room and the door was closed again, Wayne withdrew his sight. At this time, his
face was not as domineering as before, and his whole body was a bit soft.
He turned his head to look at Eric, sighed, and said nothing. Then he turned to look at Jarvis and said
in a weak voice, "Let's see the wound on his back."
Hearing this, Eric raised his head. There was a flash of surprise on his face. It seemed that he didn't
expect that he would be asked to come up to see the injury.
"Grandpa, I'm fine." He said subconsciously.
"Are you okay?" "I know how much I hit you and how stubborn you are. Don't stick to it. Jarvis..."
He shouted at Jarvis again, "Put the medicine."
"I know, Mr. Wayne." Then he turned to look at Eric and said, "Mr. Eric, please take off your clothes. Let
me put some medicine on your wound, so that it will heal faster."
After saying that, he winked at Eric, indicating that he should listen to him.
Eric was not a fool. He knew clearly what Wayne was up to. He was giving him a step. If they were still
in a stalemate, it would only make things worse.
Then he took off his coat and sat on a chair. He instructed Jarvis to apply medicine to his wound.
Apparently, the medicine was prepared beforehand.
When Jarvis saw the wound on Eric's back, he frowned and turned to look at Wayne. It seemed that
Jarvis was blaming him for that. The injuries were crisscrossed with blood streaks.
"Ah..." As soon as the medicine touched the wound, Eric took a deep breath because it was really
painful.
"Just hold it." Jarvis lowered his voice and whispered to Eric's ear, "Mr. Eric, this is the way that Mr.
Wayne gives you to walk down the stairs. He asked me to get these drugs ready yesterday."
His voice was so low that only the two of them could hear.
Hearing this, Eric's heart softened. He looked at him subconsciously, and suddenly felt a sense of self
blame.
But he couldn't understand why he made such a decision for them in front of everyone even though he
was so partial to him.
Wayne didn't notice the interaction between Jarvis and Eric. He said in his slightly older voice, "Eric, tell
me, what's good about that girl? Why do you want to be with her even if you leave the Gu family?"
"Silly, idiot." He blurted out.
"What's that mean?" Wayne asked confusing.
"Haha..." Thinking of this, Eric could not help but laugh out. She did left a silly and idiot impression on
him in the first sight, but behind the silly and idiot side was her cleverness.
"What are you laughing at?" Asked Wayne.
"Grandpa, you don't need a reason to love someone. You just want to marry her. She is your wife,
that's all. You will still give up everything for her even if she has a lot of disadvantage." As if he had
forgotten the pain on his back, Eric said in a very easy tone.
Wayne approvingly nodded in agreement.
"What's more, she is smart, not really stupid." Eric continued, "She is very kind to me. She cares about
me a lot. Just now when I went upstairs, she told me not to make you angry. Grandpa..."
He looked up at him and said, "She is really a good girl. If you accept her and get along with her slowly,
you will find that she won't be anxious for quick success and instant benefit, and she won't do anything
to achieve what she wants only for profit. She is not a ordinary girl."
It was the first time for him to see his grandson praise someone like this. He had never seen him like
this before. He couldn't help but become curious about Lily, but he had his own reasons.
"Ah…" He suddenly sighed, "Actually, I don't want to stop you from being together. If you are capable
enough to be a member of the whole family, I won't care who you are with. But you are still young and
still need to be cultivated. My body is not as strong as before. If I leave one day, you will be bullied by
them."
"Grandpa." Eric was a little surprised at his attitude.
"You see what's going on in the Gu family. Your uncle is competitive, and your father doesn't have the
intention to fight for it at all. Plus, Frank is trying her best to win over all shareholders of the company
and he is working on a big project for our company. If this continues, I, as the head of the family, almost
can't suppress them."
When he was speaking, he was helpless.
Eric understood the meaning of these words. The whole Gu family was like a balance, and Wayne was
the supporting point in the middle, trying to maintain both ends of the balance.
Once out of balance, the loser would definitely be bullied. Currently, the situation was that Simon and
his son gained absolute advantage in Gu family. They were eager to achieve quick success and instant
benefit. If the company was handed over to them, nobody knew how it would develop.
That's why Wayne wanted to bring Eric into the company. Only when he trained him, could the Gu
family maintain the company.
