The Undefined Love - Chapter 360
Yang Yuzhe has got the news of what happened with Lifen in London. And also the one who was responsible for that. Looking at the old man sitting in front of him, he contemplated if he should bring this up in his notice.
He was about to think against the idea, looking over his health and age but suddenly there was a knock at the door, drawing both people’s attention towards the call.
“Old Master, Elder Gao has come looking for you. He has said there is some important matter, he has to discuss with you and he also needed some help from you”
Li Liaoyuan was dumbfounded at such a request. It has not been long since he last met him. They only had some business relationship and had never been in a state when he could come forward like this to ask his help.
What has changed in a night that brought him here? He has known that the H Nation has also taken the economic blow caused by Deming, but he was still unknown to the reason he aimed that country?
For a moment he thought that the old man Gao was here to seek his help regarding this matter but still the reason didn’t get fit in the frame.
Elder Li nodded his head to Butler Gong as he said, “Okay, help him get settled in the living hall. We will be coming over in a minute”
The butler nodded to the orders and swiftly moved to execute it.
When Li Liaoyuan turned back to look at the young man, with whom he has been sitting all this while he felt that there had been some changes in his expressions. His eyes had turned all frosty and silent like there was a storm brewing deep inside it.
“Is there something?” he asked, looking at the man whom he has always seen all calm and composed. This was the first time I had seen such murderous eyes. Though those eyes did not scare him but surely made him all curious to know who was the cause behind it.
Yang Yuzhe shook his head in denial, “It nothing Grandpa Li. I will surely tell you when time comes. For now, the matter is already handled and things are well taken care of. Since a guest is waiting downstairs, we should go and greet him first”. His voice was very mysterious, creating a whirlpool suspicion in it.
Elder Li looked at him for some moment then nodded to his words. Since the matter is already treated in a right way then nothing was there to worry.
The two people stood up to get downstairs where Old man Gao was already waiting for them. When the old man felt the descending footsteps behind him, he turned hurriedly to look over with his aged eyes full of worry. He was already feeling weak inside from last night hearing the downfall of their company and after hearing news regarding his grandson, only made the matter go worse.
“Ahh good gracious, finally I am able to meet President Li. I thought you wouldn’t have any time in your busy schedule to meet me. But it seems like I have underestimated our business friendship of the last 10 years”, Old man Gao said, intentionally mentioning the life span of their acquaintance, thinking that would add some points to his benefit.
But his words seemed to make no change and Li Liaoyuan shrugged his words off, focusing on the topic for which this man has come here, “Old man Gao, your eyes seemed too anxious. And I am being informed that you are here for some help. Let’s not waste any time in such formality, rather come straight to the point”
It was very normal for Elder Li to be very straight to the man, since they were just mere acquaintances and nothing more. Furthermore, he has always known how sly the people from the Gao family were. So to some extent he has never put any liking for them.
But since the old man was already here, seeking for his help then it would only be good if he could help him.
The old man Gao sighed looking at the attitude of the person in front of him. He so wanted to crush this man down but luck never has been on his side. And above that, today he was brought here to beg at his feet, in order to save his grandson.
His eyes darted to look at the young man, who has been standing behind with his sharp gaze at him. As their eyes got connected a wave of shiver ran down his spine, making him all frozen and stiff at his pace. For a moment he felt that the young man was dominating him with his presence.
Looking at him, he could say that he was just a few years younger than his grandson yet the difference between them can be seen like sky and earth. He sighed internally, why was his grandson not like these young men who were so bold and formidable from such a young age.
But there is no way his sight could change anything. He was the grandson God has given him and now he has come here to beg his life from this old man whom he has always hated to his core.
“Yes, Yes, we should get straight to the point. I am here to ask an urgent help from you. It is regarding my grandson’s life. Please help me save him. I will be really grateful if you could …” he was in the middle of his sentence but was interrupted in between.
“Save your grandson? What happened to him? And how should I help?” Elder Li really did not understand where the words of this man were going.
Yang Yuzhe who has taken his seat beside looked at the man who has shamelessly come to ask help, knowing how far his grandson has gone. He just can’t believe it. He so wanted to lash out at him but he just controlled himself to know what he was actually going to give a reason for his grandson’s audacity.
Hearing Elder Li raising questions like that, old man Gao cleared his throat not knowing how to present his words to not make the matter go against him. After a real long pause, he started, “It’s nothing serious as it seemed to be. They had some childish misunderstandings between them which has turned really severe because of their hot young blood. But being their elders, it’s our responsibility to look after goods and bad”
He tried to be as minimal as he could. But his words only increased the suspicions in the head of Li Liaoyuan. He looked at the man with slightly narrowed eyes, trying to take the thing that has not come out of his lips.
“Childish misunderstanding between them? Are you talking about my granddaughter? I don’t think she has ever known your grandson?” Elder Li said, wording out his suspicion.
Yang Yuzhe nearly laughed at the words old man Gao has used. Kidnapping someone with an intent to molest, was this some kind of childish misunderstanding? Huh really this old man has man gone all senile with his age!
“They were friends. You must have not known”, old man Gao said smiling awkwardly. He had not planned his words before coming here so now he was facing this problem.
“My granddaughter is not the type to mess up with someone where person’s life and death gets involved, so please be clear with your words if you really need any help from me because there is no way I would believe something against my LiLi”, Li Liaoyuan has already guessed the things are not like this man was presenting. He was sure that this man was messing with the main extract of the event.
The awkward smile on the old man Gao’s face deepened. He hurriedly added, “It’s not like your granddaughter has messed the things up. She is really a sincere and polite girl. I have always heard good things about her. It’s about a young boy from the Wang family. He seemed to misunderstand the relationship between her and my grandson, and has created havoc.”
Elder Li looked at the man and then said shaking his head, “Huh! Though I know Mr. Wang Deming is kind of arrogant and rough, but one thing I am sure of, he is not the man who will ever misunderstand my granddaughter. If he has done something to your grandson with my granddaughter as the reason, then there must be something hidden in the matter which isn’t known to you or you aren’t letting me know”.
Li Liaoyuan has always been known for his straightforwardness. Though he has disliked Deming in the past and to some extent even today, he has not missed the way he cares and handles his granddaughter. Trust is something he has always spotted in both of their eyes. There is no way he will believe that there would be any serious misunderstanding between them.
