Let's Get Married novel Chapter 781

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.
