16 - Young Master Moved

Translated by rabbitrisu

“He is my son, not a fool.”

When Su Zimo heard his father say this, his heartbeat accelerated for a moment. He thought that he had two half-sisters from Su Gan outside four years ago.

“Do you remember that you have a simple son?” Third Uncle said thornily, “Didn’t you say that wild Su Hewen was your only son?”

Su Gan didn’t answer, so Su Zimo listened to the harsh Third Uncle continue to speak.

“The high tech company that the old man gave you, you left it to Su Hewen? Do you know how much the company is currently worth? You’re so assured putting the money in the hands of an outsider?”

Su Gan then said, “First, Su Hewen is not an outsider. Second, the company is mine and the equity is also mine. Su Hewen just helps me manage the company.”

“Oh? A steward who can make the final decision in the company? He can do much more than you think.” Second Uncle sneered, “Dage, you can’t do without defenses.”

“Anyway, I don’t think there’s anything wrong. Su Hewen is gifted in the field. The company can be said to have profited in his hands. The money in my hands is also unprecedentedly ample, and life couldn’t be more comfortable.” Su Gan lay down directly on the sofa in the hall and rescued the lawyer who was under siege for a long time. “Thanks to the kid who helped me take care of my son, otherwise Zimo would be bullied under your eyes!”

Su Zimo, who was on the third floor, was tight-hearted again. It wasn’t Grandpa or Father who took care of him over the past few years, but Su Hewen, who had only met him a few times? Mother’s adopted son?

“Our brother isn’t as good as a wild seed in your eyes?” ¹ Third Uncle’s voice softened oddly. “Whether or not it’s an outsider, money and power is still tight within their hands. I see that you don’t care about anything at all, not even the company. Now President Su Hewen, who only knows the sky outside, is treating you like a playboy.”

“I’ve always been a playboy who can’t do business properly.” Su Gan spread his hands. “What would Third Brother have me do? In the first place, I can’t manage the company at all.”

“I can help you.” Third Uncle tempted him. “You also know the influence of the companies in my hand. We divide some of your shares, and then you’ll give me some of the shares in technology companies. In this way, couldn’t you earn payoffs on both sides, and I could help you manage the company?”

“It’s too troublesome to be bothered to move.” Su Gan seemed unimpressed. “When Dad asked us to take care of the companies, you shunned me and gave me the worse one with the least prospects. At that time, you didn’t want to help me. Now Su Hewen has taken care of the company so well that it’s beyond anyone’s expectations. I don’t need to give him any trouble.”

“To be honest, this company was entirely worthless at first, and it was even heavily in debt. Now everything about the company is credited to Su Hewen, and he also feeds my playboy habits. Maybe one day I’ll give him the company shares if I feel good.” Su Gan ordered a cigar. “After all, once I’m dead, only he can help me take care of Zimo.”

“You’re stupid! You just don’t know the value of the company and its new subsidiary!” Second Uncle’s hateful tone was unyielding.

But Su Gan just kept smiling and refused to answer again.

Su Zimo saw that the hall was calm, and he went straight from the third floor to the second.

Most of the second floor was Su Zimo’s grandfather’s area. There were bedrooms, a study, a tea room, an antique room, and the like. Looking at the familiar rooms, Su Zimo could recall his childhood and school days, walking through the second floor rooms. Sometimes he was naughty and was punished with a cane, but sometimes he listened to Grandpa.

The past, those memories, and the previously boring and useless lessons that formed Su Zimo, were indispensable.

Su Zimo stood at his grandfather’s bedroom door after a short time. Because the door was ajar, he simply knocked twice, pushed the door open, and walked in. What surprised Su Zimo was that no one else was looking after the room.

If grandpa’s beloved antique treasures were removed, the room in front of him would actually be similar to Su Zimo’s room. There were simple floor-to-ceiling windows with gauze curtains. There were also some green plants that Su Zimo gifted after planting them a few years ago. They were still alive and well taken care of.

This could be considered… Grandfather and grandson’s style.

On the large bed in the center of the room was a thin and feeble old man with an IV infusion tube hooked into his arm. He was lying there with his eyes closed, completely lacking the vigor and self-confidence of Su Zimo’s memory.

“Grandpa… Grandpa?”

Su Zimo put down the black umbrella, then crouched beside the bed to whisper.

The old man lying on the bed didn’t respond. Instead, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open again, hen a female doctor in a white coat walked in from the outside while staring at her phone.

“Ah!” The female doctor was obviously startled when she looked up at Su Zimo, and waited a few seconds before frowning. “Who are you? Didn’t I saw you can’t disturb the patient?”

Perhaps the voice of the female doctor alarmed those outside, and two nurses came in, followed by a middle-aged man wearing a black butler suit.

If Su Zimo remembered correctly, this butler seemed to be surnamed Bai…

That’s the one who used his break to gossip and run his mouth outside his bedroom.

“Young… Young Master?!!!!”

When Su Zimo was clearly seen, the butler was scared and shocked, as if he had seen a ghost. He bumped into the cabinet next to him, staggering, dizzy, but didn’t forget to take a closer look at Su Zimo’s face.

“Young Master? Which young master of the Su family is here?” The female doctor didn’t seem to understand the Su family’s situation. At that time, she was confused, “He doesn’t look like Su Hewen…”

In Su Zimo’s memory the non-blood brother didn’t resemble the Su family.

Su Gan and Su Zimo as father and son were both thinner, but Su Zimo looked more like his late mother than the famous playboy of the Su family, so his appearance was more delicate. As an adopted child, Su Hewen had sharper facial features. Su Hewen, a young man in Su Zimo’s memory, already looked mature. Although he looked pretty good, it was somewhat awkward.

From a young age, Su Zimo had a fierce feeling of being unapproachable.

“Ahhhh!” Butler Bai didn’t seem to care about the female doctor at all. Instead, he yelled and rushed out like a madman, standing at the banister on the second floor and yelling down–

“Young Master! It’s Young Master! It’s, it’s Young Master! Young Master moved!!!”

“Noisy, don’t disturb the patient!” The female doctor grit her teeth and shut the door.

Outside the door, the Su family’s matters were completely messed up by Butler Bai’s shouts.

Translator’s Notes:

Idk if anyone noticed or cared about the switch from grandfather to grandpa in some places, but if you want a reason for it, I’m using grandpa to show that he’s feeling emotional about stuff rn and isn’t as detached as before.
