Chapter 198: What do you want from me?
Claude looked at Leng Tianming’s face and subconsciously frowned, it seemed that things had changed, I wonder if Asher was coping with it ah.
Fiercely Claude gritted his teeth, or decided to give up Asher, after all, the opportunity is rare, if Asher and cold old man lost because of me Claude, then I’m not Claude, and I don’t deserve to be Asher’s friend.
Having made up his mind, Claude spoke up frankly as well, “Oh, that’s naturally not. Since Elder Leng knows the original story of what happened, then I, Claude, don’t need to cover up anymore, not bad, our president is indeed here.”
“Then, since you’re here, meet my old man.”
Leng Tianming’s judgment surprised Asher. Yes, he, Asher, was here, and not only was he here, he was here for Mia.
Asher got up from his chair, straightened his clothes, pushed his way out the door, walked to the room where Claude was and knocked on the door.
Bing was shocked when he opened the door, and it was Asher!
Asher nodded to Bing before walking straight into the room, “Not bad, Elder Leng’s deduction is completely correct, the late generation is very impressed.”
Claude glanced at Asher, who walked in, and looked at him with an imperious look on his face, and was suddenly in a much more relieved mood.
“Oh, you’re Asher, aren’t you?” Leng Lao looked at Asher with a smile on his face, he had to say that he still had a good feeling about Asher, he was a good looking man, he had a successful career, and what he appreciated most was the fact that he took care of Mia for himself.
“Yes, I’m Asher, could Elder Leng take a step to talk, this is not the place to chat.” Asher decided to have a good talk with Leng Lao, so he decided to shift the chat to the presidential suite upstairs.
Leng Tianming didn’t object, and the group soon arrived at the door of the presidential suite where Asher was.
“Claude, I’ll leave it to you here.” Asher looked at his best friend with a serious look on his face; if he didn’t have a deep friendship, how could he dare to lead him into something he wasn’t even completely sure of, and always be defenseless against him?
Claude nodded cautiously upon receiving Asher’s words, knowing that all Asher was asking him to do now was to wait.
So Claude arranged for the two bodyguards he carried to stand outside the door, while the bodyguards Leng Lao had brought with him stayed in the lobby of the presidential suite with Claude and Bing, while Asher led Leng Lao to the inner room of the presidential suite.
Seeing Leng Tianming sitting down, Asher suddenly knelt down on both knees and heavily bowed to Leng Tianming.
What a cold and domineering man Asher is, always used to being on top, and now he’s on his knees to an old man, what exciting and unbelievable news!
“What are you doing? Get up quickly.” When Leng Tianming saw Claude perform such a big salute to himself, he was first startled, then as if he suddenly understood something, the shock slowly transformed into strong emotion, his eyes were a little wet, and he hurriedly caressed Asher to stand up.
Asher didn’t sit down after being helped up by Leng Lao, and stood not far from Leng Tianming in order to show his respect.
“What is it that you are looking for me this time?” Leng Tianming cut to the chase after making a proper body.
“Please allow me to call you grandpa”, Asher really wanted to fit into Mia’s world quickly now, Asher was willing to do anything as long as it was good for Mia, even if it meant gold for a man’s knee, even if it meant Asher’s life!
“Well, I know about you and Mia, you can call it that for now”, Leng Tianming’s heart still couldn’t help but sweeten with joy when he heard Asher’s name.
“I came here this time for an unrequited request”, Asher’s words suddenly paused and turned to continue, “It’s an unrequited request, but as long as it’s for Mia , I’m not afraid of anything.”
“Oh? Tell me about it.” Leng Tianming had a hunch that although he didn’t know exactly what the matter was yet, it was definitely something that would benefit Mia and the Shengshi Group, so he went along with it and wanted to hear what Asher had to say.
“Grandpa, we are all experienced in the mall, we all know how hard it is to muddle through the mall. As a man who already feels that it is not easy to fight in the mall, how can Mia, a weak woman, be able to carry the heavy wind and rain again and again? I’ve had enough of the fear of pushing Mia to the brink every time because of a little injury. I’m really afraid of when Mia will be kidnapped or even almost shot like the other day because of some business conflicts. … So, grandpa, let Mia suffer those pains and trials that should be borne by her. I’ll suffer for her!”
“She’s just too much of a protectionist to withstand too much of a storm. We were going to just go on like this in an uneventful way, and as long as she was willing to be the president, I would always help her, but I was really scared, and just a while ago, when I watched Mia almost get shot because of a disagreement over her interests at the mall, I was so scared that I just shivered, really scared that in just that blink of an eye, she would disappear in front of me.”
“So, Grandpa, I hope Mia can pull out of this maelstrom, I want to give her a warm home, not a battlefield that smells of money, I hope Grandpa can make it happen!”
Asher bowed deeply to the old man beside him, knowing that only his hard work and dedication could possibly give Mia a chance at a more secure life and a warm home for her children, so he didn’t care what he actually wanted.
As is often the case with reality, when you fall in love with someone defiantly and you’re willing to give your all, fate never gives you a too bad answer either.
Leng Tianming sat on the sofa, looking at his cane in disbelief, and did not speak for a long time.
“Hey, I know all about you kids and Mia. I haven’t taken good care of Mia all these years, and I’ve been obedient to Mia, partly to make up for the fact that I wasn’t there for the first few decades of her life, and partly for my own sake.”
“All these years since Mia’s parents passed away, I’ve been all alone, what’s there for a lousy old man to hang on to? Just knowing for myself that there was a possibility that my granddaughter was still alive, I just felt like a big part of my life had been lit up.”
The more Leng Tianming spoke, the more excited he became, the hat on his head trembling as he spoke, “It wasn’t until Mia came back to me that I felt the warmth of affection. She is as strong as her father, and as kind as her mother, but I watch her getting anxious about her career day by day, losing her old smile day by day, my heart hurts more than anyone else!”
“How could I not know she was kidnapped? It’s just that I couldn’t catch the killer! Luckily there is you, I’ve seen enough over the years to know how much my own granddaughter likes you, and you are the same, not letting down Mia’s undying love, so your relationship is one that I essentially approve of. It seems that Mia has a good eye after all, finding a boyfriend who is so capable and loves her, I am so happy!”
“Sit down, my son; the things you say, and the very things I want, I can promise you, but we have a covenant to make.”
Leng Tianming’s words undoubtedly gave Asher a piece of mind, and Asher’s heart was overjoyed! It looked like the biggest crisis was lifted.
After a quarter of an hour or so, Asher and Leng Tianming came out of the room laughing, the two of them talking and laughing, and exchanging glances from time to time, which made Claude and Bing, who had been waiting in the hall, a bit puzzled.
“Then it’s settled, and you must remember your agreement.”
Leng Tianming got into the car accompanied by Asher, leaving such a statement that Claude was baffled, Claude was confused to the core, “Asher, what did Leng Lao say to you, why is he so happy?”
Asher took one look at Claude with a foggy forehead and just laughed and shook his head saying, “Heaven forbid.”
So all that was left was a bewildered Claude standing in front of the hotel with his palms spread helplessly.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
That said, on the Chinese side, Mia hadn’t had a moment to spare since Asher had told her he was going to Thailand, and she felt sick inside just thinking about the many problems over in the US.
“I wonder how grandpa is doing?” Mia was staring into the distance, when Nangong asked coming from behind her, “Mia , don’t think about it, there is a meeting coming up, you need to get your energy up.”
Nangong asked as his voice pulled Mia’s thoughts out of her imagination and into reality, “Well, let’s go.”
The meeting that Mia was going to was the shareholders’ meeting of the Shengshi Group that she was holding in China. Because this matter involves many people and matters, and a careless one will also bring quite bad influence to the Shengshi Group, so this meeting is without the knowledge of the rest of the people except for the shareholders who are attending the meeting.
Mia invited all the shareholders from home and abroad to come to the meeting at the Shengshi Group in China, so without exception, Bruce from the US headquarters also came.
“Good, please sit down, shareholders, Mr. Wen is already here, our meeting will start now.” Once Mia was seated, the secretary began to hand out the documents.
There were at least no less than 15 directors sitting around the meeting table, each of them carrying a portion of Shengshi Group’s shares in one way or another, and all Mia had to do now was to get these directors to agree with her and defeat one of the few directors of Shengshi Group who wanted to sell their shares of Shengshi Group to invest in the mall.
“Everyone, I think everyone knows that the current Shengshi Group was founded by Mr. Leng Tianming, so now Leng’s hands carry the largest part of Shengshi Group’s shares, and when Mr. Leng created the company for our company to be able to go to all parts of the world, so we have to follow the wishes of old Mr. Leng and carry our company forward “, Mia opened her opening statement without saying a few words before someone jumped out to object.
