Seeing them in such a mess, Lily wanted to laugh.
It was not her fault to take pleasure in Frank's misfortune, but he was really hateful. Taking the injury on
her face as an example, if he didn't wave his hand when she fell down and wanted to push her away in
a hurry, how could she be injured?
Oh, but now it was good. Karma came. Seeing him like this, she really wanted to clap her hands to
applaud.
Of course, if he had a worse ending, she would have a better mood.
Eric glanced at them, frowned and said nothing. Then he knocked on the door and said, "Grandpa, it's
me and Lily."
"Come in." Wayne's weak voice came from the room.
With the permission, he pushed the door open and walked in with Lily. The moment he closed the door,
he saw Simon and Frank peeking into the room, but he didn't intend to let them see. He closed the
door directly.
In the room, Angela, Richard and Jarvis were still at the bedside, but they didn't say anything and
quietly accompanied Wayne.
"Grandpa." Eric held Lily's hand and walked to the bedside.
"Grandpa." Lily also called in a low voice.
"Okay." Wayne replied, "Sit down."
Eric took an empty chair to the bedside. Instead of letting Lily sit down, he sat down by himself. Then
he reached out to hold her by the waist and let her sit on his laps.
Lily blushed. She turned to look at Eric and said in a low voice, "Let go of me. The elders are watching
us. It's not good."
"It's not a big deal. They won't care." Eric didn't take it seriously.
Lily bit her lower lip, secretly pinched his waist, indicating him to let her go. However, Eric seemed not
to know, directly held her messy hand, and looked at Wayne.
"Grandpa, do you have something to tell me?"
They were not surprised at the small movements between the two, but pretended not to see them.
"Yes." Wayne looked at Eric, "Your mother told you what happened in the company on the phone, didn't
she?"
Eric nodded, "Yes."
Wayne continued, "I'm old now and can't deal with the business in the company. Your uncle and your
brother are two jerks. I don't count on them anymore. I can only place my hope on you and your father.
Although you are young now, sometimes your ability to act is better than your father's. Therefore, I
hope you can stay in the company and help him during this period of time. "
Eric frowned slightly. In other words, he had to deal with his own business and the company's affairs
these days.
Seeing that he frowned, Wayne asked, "What's wrong? You don't want to?"
"No." Eric answered subconsciously, "I'm just thinking about how to solve this problem and how to
arrange my time. After all, I have to spare time to study."
"Okay." Wayne nodded, "It's up to you. But the company's situation is not looking good recently. I hope
you can pay more attention to the company's affairs."
"I know, grandpa."
"That's good." Wayne turned his head to look at Richard and said, "You can discuss the business with
Eric."
Richard nodded, "I know, Dad."
"Okay." Wayne waved his hand and said, "All of you can leave now. I want to be alone for a while."
Seeing this, everyone stood up and left. Of course, Doctor was an exception. As a family doctor, he
had to stay by his side, especially at this time.
The four walked out of the room in succession, followed by Eric. As soon as he came out, he closed
the door directly, preventing the two people, Simon and Frank, looking into the room.
Richard didn't go downstairs immediately. Instead, he stood quietly outside the room and looked at
Simon. No one knew what he was thinking about.
Angela went downstairs directly. For these two people, the only thought in her mind now was that out of
sight, out of mind.
Not to mention Eric and Lily. They had seen them when they came up just now. There was no need to
stay here to see these two difficult people.
So they followed Angela.
After they left, there were only the three of them left in the corridor. Simon was a little embarrassed by
his gaze, so he turned his back to him.
"Ha ha..." Richard laughed in a low voice with a bit of irony. He had never laughed at him like this
before, and this was the first time.
"Simon, I am very disappointed in you. I have never been so disappointed in what you have done to me
secretly before, but..."
He pulled the end of the sentence a little longer. "I'm really disappointed in you this time. You have
made the same mistake again and again, and it's getting worse and worse. This time, you've even
brought Frank. No one can save you. Take care of yourself."
Then he turned around and went downstairs.
Leaving behind the two father and son, who were both wearing a long face.
The four of them went downstairs in succession. The living room was still in a mess, but when Eric and
Lily came back, they saw Jade with messy hair. At this time, she had dressed neatly and changed her
clothes. She was standing at the door with a suitcase in her hand to change her shoes, as if she was
about to leave.
When Angela went downstairs, she was the first one to see Jade. But she didn't say anything. She just
glanced at her indifferently and then turned to the living room.
Eric and Lily didn't say anything either. It seemed that Jade's behavior was as expected.
However, Richard, who was walking in the end, frowned. He was not a person who liked to pick on right
and wrong, so he turned a blind eye to her. She would leave if she wanted to, it would be inconvenient
if she didn't leave.
The living room was in such a mess that Angela didn't say anything and began to clean it up. Of
course, Richard also started to clean up the mess.
The elders began to fight, and as the younger two, they must not be idle, or they would be too naive.
So, Lily bent over and began to clean up. But as soon as she bent down, she was pulled by Eric. "You
can sit on the sofa. I can do it."
"It's okay. I hurt my face, not my hands." Lily said slowly in a low voice.
"I don't care where you got hurt. Now, I just want you to sit down and have a rest!" Eric said in a
domineering tone. Regardless of whether Lily was willing or not, he sat her down on the sofa and
threatened, "If you dare to do something, I will kiss you!"
"You..." Lily blushed and stared at Eric with her watery eyes, as if she wanted to say something more.
"All right." Standing in front of Lily, Eric bent down and touched her uninjured face, "Listen to me, okay?
I just want you to be fine. Let us clean it up."
Lily's face turned redder and she tilted her head.
At this time, Angela cut in, "Lily, sit there and have a rest. These things will be packed soon."
After saying that, she took a look at Lily with a kind smile on her face. Then she continued to pack up.
"Did you hear that? Mom asked you to have a rest." Eric lowered his head and kissed her on the
forehead, "Have a good rest."
Then he joined the team to clean up the living room.
From the beginning to the end, Richard didn't say a word and silently did what he was doing.
By the door, Jade, who had changed her shoes, was thinking about something. Instead of leaving in a
hurry, he stood there and watched.
With a dull expression, her eyes slowly swept across the whole living room, as if she was going to
carve out what it looked like. When she saw that the Richard's family were cleaning up the living room,
her eyes flashed with a hint of envy.
With a sigh, Jade turned around and left with his suitcase. There seemed to be nothing to miss at this
price.
The three of them worked together. It only took them ten or twenty minutes to clean up the room.
After putting everything in order in the living room, the phone rang. It was from the company.
He picked up the phone and said, "I see." then he hung up. He turned to Angela and said, "I have
something to deal with in the company, and I need to deal with it. I'll leave family affairs to you, and..."
Then he looked up at upstairs and said, "Pay more attention to Dad. Don't let them in and spare dad's
peace."
Angela nodded, "I know. You can go now. Take care of yourself. Don't worry. Take care of the
company's affairs."
"Okay." Richard replied with a smile, and his eyes were full of tenderness. Then he took the car key
and turned around to go out.
After he left, Simon and Frank went downstairs dejectedly.
As soon as Angela saw them go downstairs, she stood up and went upstairs with a fruit plate in the
kitchen. She didn't even look at them, nor did she even glance at them when she passed them.
Lily and Eric, who were sitting next to each other on the sofa, also didn't care them when they saw
them coming downstairs. The two of them whispered to each other as if they didn't exist.
Lily didn't want to talk to Frank at all, so did she, and so did Eric.
Arriving at the sofa, Frank's eyes flashed unnaturally when he saw the gauze on Lily's face. He slightly
turned his face to the other side, feeling a little guilty.
Simon glanced at the two of them, coughed awkwardly, and said to Eric, "Eric, uncle has something to
ask you..."
Looking at Eric, who was still talking to Lily with his head down, without any intention to pay attention to
him, he had to continue to speak out shamelessly, "Well, can you go to talk to Grandpa? I… I want to
go in and see him."
How dare he ask me to intercede with Grandpa? Eric raised his head with a mocking smile in his eyes.
