Let's Get Married

Chapter 781: Give Up Because of Her

When the assistant tells Pehry the news, Pehry is in a closed teahouse on the outskirts of the city, chatting with the man sitting opposite him about the succession matter.

The person Pehry meets is the one that his grandfather trusts most. He knows almost all the things related to Pehry's family, including Pehry's parents.

Back then, there is a big scene. However, quite a few people only hear about that, and very few people know what happens.

Pehry has seen this person several times. His name is Edison and he is in his forties. Pehry calls him Uncle Edison and respects him very much.

Regardless of his relationship with his grandfather, Pehry is very grateful to the elders who have served his family for so many years.

"Your grandfather asks you to take over the company. What conditions does he offer?" Obviously, Edison knows Pehry well, and he knows that Pehry will only come back for certain reason.

However, he is really curious about the reason why Pehry compromises.

Pehry doesn't want too many people to know about Jasmine, but he also understands that there is no need for him to hide it from Edison.

Even if no one knows her, Edison will know about that. Jasmine's information may have been passed on to his grandfather by Edison.

Thus, Pehry only laughs self-deprecatingly, "For my love."

"Your love?" Edison is not surprised. He only nods with a smile, "Young man, it's normal for you to be trapped by love."

"That's not the case." Pehry doesn't want to admit it, and he doesn't want Jasmine to be involved in it. "My grandfather says that almost every day all these years, and I'm tired of that. Sooner or later, I have to come back. I'm not young anymore."

Edison looks at the person sitting opposite him. "That doesn't sound like what you will say."

He keeps asking Pehry, and Pehry is getting impatient. "What's wrong? Are you unhappy that I'm back?"

"Your grandfather is the happiest one. I am the second."

"That's enough." Pehry picks up the small white porcelain teacup beside him and drinks it all in one gulp. "As long as you're happy, I can do whatever you want."

"Have you really thought it through?" Edison repeatedly asks. Although Pehry pretends that he doesn't care about that, it doesn't seem to be the case.

Edison gets things straight, "It's not that easy to leave after coming back."

"Uncle Edison, I've thought of everything you said. Since I've come back to take over the company, I don't intend to leave so easily. As a junior, I still understand that."

Hearing this, Edison laughs out loud, "Alright, I'm relieved after hearing your words."

They sit in the teahouse for an entire night. They don't take meals and just drink tea. Edison lists all the things Pehry needs to do in the near future. The first thing is to win the hearts of the people and get the approval of them.

Pehry has already been running the Red Club, but it means nothing when comparing to his family business.

It is a world that even Pehry feels strange. He has to figure out the complicated interpersonal relationships and business dealings in a short time.

Before they meet, Edison specially instructs his bodyguards and assistants that as long as there is not a threat to their safety, no one should come in to disturb them.

Their talk ends at ten o'clock in the evening.

Before they leave, Edison pats Pehry on the shoulder and earnestly instructs, "Your family's business has developed for many years. The interpersonal relationships are even more complicated than you think. You must be careful when dealing with things. I believe you can do a good job."

Pehry is expressionless when hearing that.

After leaving the teahouse, the sky has already darkened. There are only several stars. There is no sense of beauty, only desolation and loneliness.

"Mr. Pehry, Red Club called just now and said that Miss Jasmine came to the company to look for you in the afternoon. She even barged into the office." When the assistant sees him come out, he hurriedly hands over the phone. "Because Mr. Edison said that we can't disturb you, so..."

Pehry looks at the assistant and has no time for questioning too much. He takes the phone and looks at the access time, but doesn't call back immediately.

Pehry knows that Jasmine will notice his current condition. She is not dull, and it is only a matter of time before she knows what happens.

But he doesn't know how to explain it to her.

He can't let her know that he is threatened to take over the family business by his grandfather. Otherwise, with her temperament, no matter how uncomfortable and painful she is, she will still leave

him.

He can throw anything away now, but Jasmine is the only one he can't lose.

Pehry stands at the entrance of the teahouse and ponders for a moment. The assistant's forehead is covered with cold sweat, afraid that Pehry will vent his anger on him.

Fortunately, Pehry only stays there for a while before he gets into the car. The assistant looks at the man's back and heaves a sigh of relief.

After getting in the car, the driver respectfully asks, "Mr. Pehry, are you going to pick up Miss Jasmine at school?"

"No. Go straight back to the villa."

She will definitely not be at school at this moment, and she will probably go back early and wait for him to be questioned.

Thinking of her lovely face, Pehry feels much more relaxed.

His life is always in a rush, and now with her, he feels more comfortable.

He can give his grandfather what he wants. As long as he can keep Jasmine by his side, it is all worth it.

When the car arrives at the villa's courtyard, it is already eleven o'clock in the night. The second floor of the villa is in a darkness, but the living room is lit up. Light shines through the curtains, and it is the only light in the darkness that carries a warm glow.

Pehry has never wanted to return home so much. He quickly walks to the door of the villa, presses his fingerprints, and the door opens.

He changes his shoes and sees the little woman sitting on the sofa in the living room at a glance.

She is still wearing outer clothes and sits upright. When she hears the sound, she immediately turns to take a look.

Feeling her hostile attitude, Pehry walks to the sofa in his slippers and half squats down to look at the girl in front of him. "Are you still angry?"

Jasmine thinks that he will explain to her when he returns, but she doesn't expect he will say so.

How can he ask her that if she is angry?

Jasmine is like a firecracker that is lit instantly. However, when she is really angry, she will not shout loudly. Instead, she becomes gloomy. "Don't you say that you are working overtime at the company? Why do you lie to me?"

"I don't mean to lie to you. I am afraid that you will think too much."

"I think too much?" Jasmine smiles and points at herself, "Why would I think too much? Isn't it because you've been hiding it from me recently?" Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Won't he think that she won't notice anything strange?

Pehry doesn't get angry or unhappy with her questioning, and he holds her small hand in his palm. "I met with an elder in my family and talked about something about the company. I didn't do anything else."

"I know you didn't do anything else." Jasmine believes him, but what she cares about is, "Have you been avoiding me lately?"
