Wayne continued, "Eric, Grandpa is not a powerful person, but Grandpa hopes that you can have a
strong backing to support you, so that you can be more stable in the Gu family. The child of Qiao
family, although you like her, but don't forget, the younger daughter of Qiao family followed your elder
brother, and her father is obviously partial to the younger daughter. You have to think about this
relationship."
"I know." Eric continued, "But Grandpa, I don't need to rely on women to support my career. I can do it.
As for girl, I just want to protect her well under my wings."
"Haha..." "You're too young to understand the business world. You'll understand how important it is to
marry a woman who can help you with your career in a few years," He continued, shaking his head.
Hearing that, Eric frowned. In his opinion, Wayne was a bit pedantic. Marriage is a matter of a lifetime,
and it is the happiness of two people who love each other for a lifetime. If he had to measure it with
profit, what was the meaning of a life?
What's the meaning of people spending all their life on their so-called career?
No matter how much money they had before, it was nothing compared to that of the two of them who
loved each other, got married, had babies and lived together forever.
"Grandpa, no matter what you mean, I won't change my mind. I'm determined to marry her!" He spoke
out his thoughts firmly.
"Mr. Eric..." Jarvis, who was applying medicine for him, stopped when he heard that and shouted.
Apparently, he didn't agree with the stubborn young man.
"Jarvis, I know what you mean." Eric turned to look at Jarvis and said, "Everyone has his own
principles. You think I'm too young to understand anything, but I know what I want. I won't give up my
pursuit for the sake of what I want."
With that, he turned to look at his grandpa, "Grandpa, a commercial marriage is the best way to bring
profits to our company, but what about the disadvantageous? If a business couple happened to love
each other, that would be fine. But if they don't, who will bear such a consequence?"
"If a man doesn't have his own career, how can he gain a foothold in the society?" Asked Wayne in a
tough tone.
However, Eric did not agree with his view and said, "Taking uncle Simon's and aunt's relationship as an
example, uncle Simon is more devoted to his career than my father, far bringing more benefits to the
Gu family than my father. But aunt, when there is something happening in the family, she can't help
stirring up trouble, and she does things without thinking at all. Taking the matter of her framing girl
some time ago as an example. In front of the media, she said wrong but she acts like a turtle retracting
its head and doesn't dare to speak when she facing the evidence."
He mentioned that a few months ago, Lily was deliberately framed, and Frank was involved in a
disturbance. At that time, Jade accused Lily in front of the media. She said that it was she who seduced
Frank and she did not dare to show up in front of the evidence. It would be left unsettled.
When he mentioned this, Wayne frowned unconsciously. At that time, he was abroad for recuperation,
but he did not go back. But he knew about it.
"But on the contrary, look at my parents." Eric continued, "Although my father didn't make much profit
for the company and didn't make much difference in his career, he was very good to my mother. In
order to prevent her from being bullied in the family, he agreed to live with her outside. My mother had
broken off all relations with family. Since I could remember, they didn't quarrel with each other and even
argued with each other. There were many things, they made a decision by talking to each other. Never
do things by oneself. This kind of life is exactly what I want."
"They get your temperament from their character!" "In order to marry your mother, your father almost
cut off the relationship with me. Your mother was stubborn, directly breaking off the relationship with
your grandfather under the opposition of the Sun family. She insisted on marrying your father. You are
really a whole family!"
"But they are living a happy life together, aren't they?" Eric asked.
"Do you mean that you only want to have that girl and leave your career behind?" Wayne said.
"No, Grandpa. You don't understand what I mean." Eric felt a little depressed. At that time, Jarvis also
applied medicine on his wound. Then, he put on his clothes, stood up and continued, "I want both. But I
need time to achieve these things. I have the ability to create a business Kingdom, and I also have the
strength to let her under my wings and be free of worry."
"How can you promise me now?" Wayne said again.
"Grandpa, if you agree to our relationship, in three years, or in less than three years, I will give you a
satisfactory answer." Eric was not stupid and made his request.
Of course, Wayne knew what his plan was. He snorted, "Let's talk about this later."
"Grandpa..." When Eric was about to say something more, he was interrupted by a gesture of "stop" by
Wayne. Wayne said, "You can go out now. I'm tired."
Then he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.
Hearing his grandfather's words, Eric said nothing more. He gave him a glance, turned around and
walked out of the room.
Until they left, no one mentioned that Eric abandoned the Gu family in the living room and chose Lily.
Both of them knew it. After all, Wayne didn't really want to force Eric to leave and he had no other
choice.
Downstairs.
Seeing that, Lily immediately stood up and walked up to Eric. "Is Grandpa Gu all right? What did he
say?"
"Nothing." Eric smiled and reached out to hold her right hand, "Everything will be okay, trust me, okay?"
"Yes." Lily nodded.
At this moment, she had no idea. To be exact, as long as it was related to Eric, she would lose her own
will involuntarily. She could only nod and agree with whatever he said.
Jade, Simon and Richard went downstairs and followed by Jarvis, who was carrying a medical box.
Richard walked up to Joe and politely said, "Mr. Joe, it's not convenient for us to talk about this matter
now. We can make an appointment to talk about it after my father's body gets better. What do you think
of it?"
"Okay." Joe nodded, and his face was full of apologies. "We are too thoughtless to make Mr. Wayne
have a relapse of his old disease. It is really sorry."
"Everyone didn't expect this." Said Richard indifferently, and then he looked at Angela and said,
"Angela, greet the guests. I have something to tell Eric."
Without saying anything, Angela just nodded. When she glanced at Eric, she couldn't help complaining.
When Eric met his mother's gaze, there was a flash of self blame on his face.
"Go back to the room with me." The words were said by Richard to Eric.
"Yes." Eric nodded and gave Lily a final reluctant look. He let go of her hand and was about to leave
with Richard.
"Wait, Mr. Eric." Jarvis suddenly said, he took a box of ointment and handed it to Eric. "Mr. Wayne
asked me to give this to you. Apply it every night to make sure that the wound healed quickly." he
raised his voice.
These seemingly caring words made everyone present look differently.
Surprise flashed across the faces of Angela and Richard, Simon and his wife, while gloom flashed
across their faces.
There was no change in the faces of Dillon and Lucia. Tina had a smile on her face, and Kerr's lips
raised a faint smile.
A smile emerged on Lily's face, and she was relieved in her heart. Although Wayne didn't send the
medicine himself, it showed that he still cared about Eric, and it was clear that he forgave what he had
done before, which was apparently a step for him. He hoped that they could make it and let it go.
When Eric stayed in the bedroom just now, he knew that his grandfather had given him an out, but he
didn't expect him to do it again in front of everyone. Although he didn't show up personally, he was still
very grateful.
He took it over and said with a smile, "Thank you, Jarvis."
"You're welcome." He cracked a smile and said, "I'm leaving now. I'll come back to take care of Mr.
Wayne this afternoon."
"Goodbye, Jarvis."
"Bye." With that, Jarvis laughed and left, with a medical kit in his hand.
Eric turned around and handed the ointment to Lily. "You take it. I'll be back soon."
"Okay." Lily said with a smile. She seemed to be in a better mood.
Seeing this, Richard couldn't help looking at Lily and then turned around to leave with Eric.
After they left, the living room suddenly became quiet.
At this time, Joe suddenly stood up and said to Angela, "We're leaving today. When Mr. Wayne gets
better, we can make an appointment to talk about it."
"Yes." Angela nodded and stood up, saying, "I'll walk you out."
"Don't bother. You also look pale. You should take good care of yourself. As a mother, you must have a
lot to worry about."
"After all, he is my child. How can parents not worry about him? But I think we'd better give this matter
further thought."
"I know what you mean." Joe smiled and continued, "You are a sensible mother. I believe that you
know what kind of solution is the best for the two kids."
Angela frowned and said nothing.
