We agreed it was just a hug, why did you actually do it?

"I remember when I brought him back, he told me in a formulaic tone that he would transform Jiangming Group into something like this and that within a few years, and how much benefit it would bring me."

From that moment on, I knew that he no longer saw himself as my grandson, nor as the heir to the Jiang family, but merely as a partner, an acting manager.

Su Weile listened to all of this in a daze. He found that he had no desire to eat at all. His heart, and even his internal organs, were filled with a feeling of heartache.

Su Weile knew that what she said was really impolite, but she still couldn't help but say, "Grandpa, how could you do this? You've gone too far. It's too much to treat him like this."

Grandpa Jiang stared blankly at Su Weile, then said with a look of sadness, "Yes, we shouldn't have treated him like that, it was really too much."

At that time, it really shouldn't have been done. After all, he was just a little child. He hadn't done anything wrong... His birth wasn't his choice.

-------------------------

Tang Shaowu had been away from Jiangming Group for quite some time, resulting in a backlog of work.

We went back in the afternoon and started the meeting, which lasted until 8 p.m. before the meeting room door was finally opened.

A group of high-level managers with staggering annual salaries, these elite professionals, though still dressed in suits and ties, could not hide the exhaustion on their faces, showing just how intense a meeting they had just gone through.

Inside the meeting room, several of Tang Shaowu's confidants and capable assistants continued their heated discussion until nearly ten o'clock before leaving the office.

Cheng Ming is Tang Shaowu's most capable lieutenant at Jiangming Group. He was Tang Shaowu's classmate in college and has been with Tang Shaowu ever since the day he returned to Jiang's Group. Jiangming Group employees privately refer to Cheng Ming as Jiang's Group's First Secretary.

As Cheng Ming tidied up the documents scattered on the table, he glanced at Tang Shaowu. "Why did you come back so suddenly? Everyone was terrified. They said you were doing a surprise inspection, and that you might be preparing for layoffs. Everyone was on high alert."

Tang Shaowu sneered and said, "Just focus on your work normally, no need to make a fuss. If I really wanted to lay someone off, would I need to conduct a surprise inspection?"

Tang Shaowu looked outside; although it was late, the night was still brightly lit with neon lights.

"My sudden return is due to personal reasons. I'm emotionally unstable, and I need to take him to a completely unfamiliar environment to calm down. I don't want other people to affect him."

Cheng Ming looked intently at this junior who had shown him kindness, frowned as he pondered his words, but still couldn't quite grasp the meaning.

But he wouldn't ask, because he knew that Tang Shaowu might not have been telling him, and it would be inappropriate to ask at this point.

He was just an assistant, and even the closest assistant isn't a friend. Young Master Tang didn't need friends. He understood that.

"Young Master Tang, are you going back now?"

Tang Shaowu glanced at his phone and said in a low voice, "You can go back now. You've worked hard today. Tomorrow is the formal meeting, and you'll be in charge of presenting the proposal and pushing it forward."

Cheng Ming nodded and then left the office.

---------------------------------

Su Weile rolled around on Tang Shaowu's big bed. It was already ten o'clock and Tang Shaowu still hadn't returned.

He spoke to his grandparents on the phone today. He could tell they missed him, but they didn't urge him to come back. They just told him to be careful while he was out and to have fun.

Su Jun was furious when he learned that Su Weile had gone to Jiangcheng again before even visiting his uncle. He scolded Su Weile for a long time, but Su Jun finally calmed down after Su Weile promised to visit his uncle as soon as he got back.

When she was about to hang up the phone, she didn't forget to praise her son, complimenting him for cleaning up her grave so well, and asking him if he wore gloves while working, since he had cleared the weeds so clean.

After hanging up the phone, Su Weile couldn't help but think, "If Tang Shaowu lived in their family, he would receive so much love."

He just couldn't understand why they treated him that way. His parents were like that, and even his grandfather and maternal grandfather were the same. He was truly exasperated.

Su Weile put down her phone, turned to the window, and stared blankly at the garden outside.

A snow-white Persian cat with a round head and heterochromatic eyes, like two gems, one yellow and one green.

In the moonlight, he was noble and mysterious. He looked coldly at Su Weile, and Su Weile suddenly thought of Tang Shaowu, who was also noble and aloof, making him difficult to approach.

Su Weile opened the window and said to the Persian cat, "Hello? You're so beautiful! What's your name?"

The cat didn't meow, but it didn't leave either; it just stared straight at Su Weile.

Su Weile laughed and said, "Your aloof demeanor is just like Tang Shaowu's. My family has a wealthy man, and you, well, how about we call it noble? Pretty noble, huh?"

A black luxury car stopped at the entrance. As the gate slowly opened, Tang Shaowu glanced at his room on the second floor.

The window was open, and the warm light from inside the room spilled into the moonlight. Su Weile had half her body leaning out of the window, talking to the white cat on the extended awning on the first floor.

Tang Shaowu got out of the car early and slowly walked into the garden. When Su Weile saw Tang Shaowu, her eyes widened in surprise, and then she smiled broadly and said...

"Young Master Tang, you're back? What time is it? Have you been working the whole time, or did you sneak out to play behind my back?"

Tang Shaowu's expression was calm and content as he gently asked, "What are you doing?"

"Am I talking to someone so noble?"

Tang Shaowu glanced at the white cat. "Noble" looked at Tang Shaowu for a few seconds, then suddenly let out a sharp "meow" and ran away.

Su Weile said with amusement, "How did you scare away all your elegance?"

Tang Shaowu looked up at Su Weile and said with a smile, "Its name is Aurelia."

-------------------

While Tang Shaowu went to take a shower, Su Weile rolled around on the bed several times and chatted with Yu Changning for a while. Su Weile sensed that he seemed to be in a bad mood. When she asked him what was wrong, he just said nothing was wrong.

Tie Tou also called via video, saying he was a little worried that he might have joined some kind of pyramid scheme and wanted to see if he was still alive.

The two chatted idly during their video call. Jin Yi appeared for a few minutes, looked at Su Weile seriously, gave her a few words of advice, and then went to the bar to get busy.

Finally, Tie Tou hung up the phone with relief, saying that Su Weile seemed to be in good physical and mental health.

As soon as Tang Shaowu came out of the bathroom, Su Weile sat up abruptly on the bed, her hair still sticking up, and patted the bed, saying, "Come on, lie down, the equipment is all ready, just waiting for you."

Tang Shaowu gave him a scrutinizing look. Without saying anything, he walked over and sat down on the bed.

Su Weile knelt directly behind Tang Shaowu, rubbed her hands together vigorously a few times, and then began to massage Tang Shaowu earnestly, starting from his forehead, while playfully asking...

"Young Master Tang, is this too much force?"

Tang Shaowu smiled and said, "Are you in a good mood today?"

"Hmm? Me? I'm alright, pretty good. I played chess with Grandpa Jiang this afternoon and lost badly."

Tang Shaowu slowly opened his eyes and asked thoughtfully, "What did he say to you?"
