Chapter 142 – The Jun Family’s View
The toss is metaphorically deep, and I guess having Grandpa Jun actually step up to the plate would do whatever it takes to punish Asher Daw for what he can’t take.
As expected, Grandpa Jun felt that there was nothing more to persuade Asher and gave him a direct ultimatum: “Choose for yourself, whether you still cling to that woman or break away from Jun and never be my grandson again!”
The words stirred up a thousand waves, scaring not only Asher, but also Jun Haotian enough, to be removed from the family was no small matter, and even if Jun Haotian was displeased with his son, he never thought of his waist treating him like this.
Apparently Grandpa Jun, the one who had experienced the world, understood better what would impress Asher, and Asher’s ever-determined look faltered slightly at the moment, the loss of his most important family member for Mia’s separation from Jun’s family made Asher hesitate.
He asked with a worried frown, “Grandpa, can you listen to me and explain? Don’t threaten me so quickly just yet.”
Grandpa Jun had almost the same sneer as Asher, “I’d be interested in hearing your explanation, so tell me about it.”
Asher took a glass of water, moistened his throat and thought for a moment more and said, “Grandpa, it’s not that I’m not sensible to go after love, and while it’s true that Mia hit me hard, I didn’t put it down for him on the company side.”
He glanced at the surprised looks on his grandfather and father’s faces and said with a slight curl of his lips, “You have to trust me, I feel that I am capable of bouncing back from whatever situation I am in, and like those who have oppressed me, I will give them all a stronger revenge in the future.”
With such a combative Asher seemingly back to his old self, Grandpa Jun is shaken for a moment, but thinking of the contrast between Lena and Mia’s family history, he still doesn’t quite tolerate Asher’s desire to marry Mia into the house.
After all, a girl whose birth was an orphan and a woman with a strong and powerful background could not be compared, and there was a big gap in the benefits they brought to the Jun family, and although the Jun family might not mind the material benefits, after all, the thing of fame was very important to anyone who was in business.
It would be very beneficial for both families if they could form a marriage with Lina’s family, and although this was a political marriage, Lina had a good figure and good looks, and she had gotten along well with Asher before, so it was not a disservice to his grandson.
Thinking of this, Grandpa Jun calmed down but was not about to compromise with Asher, he said firmly, “There is no way you will be allowed to marry Mia into the house, I will not agree to this matter in any way, but you can decide the rest on your own, besides, if you really like him, you can continue to keep him as your mistress.”
Among the gentry, it is not uncommon for there to be no affection between them and their rightful wives. After all, most prestigious families are political marriages, and discord between the two spouses happens all the time, and to deal with this, most turn a blind eye to some of the cheating they do with each other.
Grandpa Jun, though old, is not an old-fashioned man and has experienced this aspect of his life when he was younger and can understand Asher to some extent, though he can’t agree with him wholeheartedly.
Asher naturally refused to let Mia suffer, but of course at this point he hadn’t considered whether Mia would agree to marry him if he argued so hard on this side, he just said very firmly, “No, I must have Mia as my wife before I will condemn her to be some mistress.”
Perhaps a long time ago he did have the desire to toy with that little woman, but now, what was left in his heart was no longer the playfulness of a beautiful and family-less woman, but more the pining, the unquenchable love.
Jun Haotian stopped Grandpa Jun, who was about to get angry again, and gestured for Lily to convince her son, who had always listened to him, to do so.
Lily was given the mandate to gently bring Asher some food first, gesturing for him who hadn’t eaten in days to fill up before sitting next to Asher, gently rubbing his back and saying in a consultative tone.
“Asher, this matter can be discussed in the long run, after all, to get married is not something that can be done well in the near future, although your mother and I are eager to have grandchildren, but if you can’t find the right person yet, this can wait a little longer.”
Seeing Asher’s unhappy face, Lily coughed softly and continued, “You can take some more time, calm down a bit more, before you make your choice, and right now, the main thing is not to let your career collapse, as well as redeem your as well as your infamous reputation.”
Asher was silent for a long time, he could understand what Lily meant, it was saying that he should wait for Grandpa Jun and Jun Haotian to calm down first and then think of a way to discuss with them, but Asher could not wait to give Mia a name, he was in a relationship with Mia now, if he could not give Mia a name, why should he ask Mia to understand him?
Though, Asher thought, he had never done anything wrong, it had just been that dreadful Lina who had been in the middle of it all along, that disgusting woman that he would have to get rid of sooner or later.
“Grandpa, Father, whether you agree or not, that’s what I’ve decided, do you have anything else to say?” Asher stood up and straightened the folds in his shirt, looking like he was on his way out the door.
Asher’s look will Grandpa Jun exasperated puffing and panting, this obsessive look, like a few cows can not pull back, and his youth is very wanting, but how this guy good not inherit the bad inherit ah.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
“If you leave this house today, you don’t have to come back, I disown you!” Grandpa Jun yelled as he slapped the desk, not caring a bit about Lily’s nervous face.
Asher ignored it, listened to it as if it were in vain, walked off to a corner of the house and selected a tie from the cupboard, tied it in the mirror by the door, checked his instrument again, took his car keys and went out the door.
It was imperative to get to the bottom of what happened five years ago, otherwise Mia would never forgive herself no matter what, Asher thought and got into the car at the door, deciding to go to the office first to see how things were going, and to find the secretary who hadn’t been seen for a few days and instruct him to do something.
The car sped to a gallop and Asher couldn’t wait a minute, he was very desperate to prove his innocence to Mia and was trying very hard to make things right between them again.
Asher never wanted to see Mia snuggled up in another man’s arms smiling at him again, once Mia’s joyful smiles had been brought on by him, something like that she would never allow to happen again!
And the only way to fix that would be to have Leena’s plot unraveled and Mia’s conspiracy-blinded eyes reawakened so he can get the one he’s been longing for.
He soon arrived at the Sakura Shang Group’s building, which was cold and empty, unlike the usual lively scene, Asher’s heart was shocked, had the entire Sakura Shang Group collapsed? Only then did he slightly realize that his capriciousness during this period of time might have brought about extremely serious consequences.
Luckily, the elevator was still operating as usual, and he stepped into the elevator room reserved for senior people, which was his exclusive, and ordered straight to the floor where his office was located, Asher cupped his phone in his hand and decided to call his secretary first to check the situation.
He had just pressed the number when he felt the elevator stop suddenly, he looked up at the indication screen and it didn’t go to the floor he had specified, so who had taken the elevator for his exclusive use, Asher looked at the gradually opening doors suspiciously.
Upon seeing the figure in the doorway, Asher huffed hard and was a bit speechless.
“Ah, Master Jun, you’re back? My, that’s great!” The ever-not-very-tuned secretary was now dressed in dirty clothes, her hair was covered in oil, and thick dark circles covered the extremely large bags under her eyes, looking like she hadn’t slept in days.
Although the secretary was usually scruffy and unkempt, creating such a rag-picking appearance of herself was something Asher had never seen before, and he asked calmly, “What’s the matter with you? Already too poor to change your clothes?”
The secretary’s crystal eyes were staring at Asher as if she was afraid he would run away again, that sincere plus dependent little look like a puppy who was very afraid of being abandoned by its master, Asher’s forehead was bruised and he slapped the secretary on the head and coldly grunted, “Keep looking at me like that and I’ll leave immediately.”
The secretary hurriedly nodded and took a few steps backwards, smiling sarcastically at Asher for patting his greasy fingers on the head, handed him a handkerchief and said, “Master Jun ah, you don’t know, I haven’t slept for three days ah, since the last time you left, although I said I’ll take care of everything, but I really can’t carry it anymore ah! ”
Asher was also a bit upset in his mind, after all, it was a bit cruel of him to be the one to shake things off and let his secretary, who was supposed to just assist him, handle everything for him, resulting in the other person not sleeping for three days.
“You didn’t call a hundred and seven times just to tell me you haven’t slept in three days, get down to business, how are things at the company now?” Asher thought it would be good to settle things at the company before settling things with Mia, if the situation allowed.
The secretary said with a sad face, “Master Jun, I don’t know if you saw it when you went upstairs just now, but we don’t actually have many employees left in the company, but the company is still in business as usual, only the bottom has been emptied.”
Asher asked with a raised eyebrow, “Did all the old staff leave?”
The secretary shook his head and said, “That’s not true, but the old employees are in the minority after all, most of them are newcomers in the past two years, and the technical staff, although they have stayed, are more or less dissatisfied in their hearts and are waiting for you to come back and give a statement.”
Asher was about to slap the secretary’s head again, but midway through glancing at his greasy hair, the direction of his hand switched places and became to hit the secretary’s shoulder as he grunted, “After being with me for so long, I never realized you were a pig-headed ah, as long as the old staff didn’t leave, what did it matter if the others left? It’s all just something you can get back again.”
