Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 330

Zed turned pale and he stepped back a bit, looking shocked.

Zed's uncle used to greet everyone with a smile but now he suffered from a deadly disease.

How ironic that good people don't live long!

"Does my parents know about this?" Zed asked as his voice trembled. He tried his best to remain calm.

"Not yet! I haven't told them yet. Simon only told me about this." replied Benjamin as he sighed. "He was planning to hide this from everyone. But I found out that there was something wrong with him, and I made him tell me."

"Hasn't Uncle Simon told Kirk too?" Zed asked in a shock.

"No. Kirk has a girlfriend in Switzerland, and they are about to get married. Simon wants to tell them after their wedding," Benjamin replied, with a heavy sigh. He then continued,"As you know, Kirk is busy with his studies and he has no interest in our business. So Simon and I talked this through and have decided to have you back at the Imperial Capital, and let you take over the Qi family industry."

"Grandpa, although my father owns some shares in the company, it is Uncle Simon who is the real President of the company. If someone has to succeed then it should be Kirk Qi. Anyway, we must ask Kirk first! If he would like to take over the company, he should! I don't care how it will turn out in the end," Zed replied with sincerity. After a brief pause, he continued,"In fact, I really don't want to go back to the Imperial Capital. I think it will be good if I stay here. If I haven't made the thirty-five-year-old promise with you, I really would not go back."

"I know what you mean!" said Benjamin, as he interrupted Zed,"I know that you have never liked Simon's wife. You never liked her way of doing things. That's exactly why Simon and I want you back there. This company is not how it used to be. There were mostly Qi family members in the beginning but over the years, your aunt has planted her spies all over the company."

"I still think Kirk will be the right person to take over this company. And I'm sure my father would agree with me too," said Zed, with a serious look on his face.

"If only it was that simple," Benjamin sighed and started speaking but stopped as soon as he saw Dan and Jesse coming this way. Instead, he whispered to Zed,"Keep this secret with you for the time being."

"I see!" Zed nodded and replied in a low voice. He then said,"Grandpa Dan, I was in such a hurry to talk to my grandpa that I forgot about you. I apologize! And I'll make amends later at the table while we drink wine," said Zed with a smile on his face.

"Zed, you certainly know how to make amends, don't you?" Dan smiled and continued,"I am so happy after talking to you. No wonder why the girls in the Imperial Capital still can't forget you, Zed."

"Grandpa Dan, please don't make fun of me!" After Zed heard what Dan said, he blushed and sighed in his heart.

'Thank god Jean did not hear this! Otherwise, there would've been some new misunderstandings.'

"Don't praise him, Dan! He speaks just a little bit more while talking to us, but he talks very coldly to others. What do you say now, Dan?" Benjamin exposed Zed with his words.

"Well, that's exactly why girls are attracted to Zed! These days people don't really treasure those who are easy to get, and never forget those who are hard to get. Am I right?" Dan chuckled as he spoke. He then glanced at Jesse, who was next to him.

Meanwhile, Jesse got embarrassed by Dan's meaningful look. She stamped her feet, and her face turned red.

'Grandpa, why did you have to look at me like that while saying that!' Jesse exclaimed in her mind.

"You have a nice place here. Zed, why don't you show me around?" Dan smiled at Zed after giving Jesse a meaningful look.
