Endless Adoration

Chapter 42 The Past

And it was also an accident for Elliot Mo to investigate this matter. He didn't expect that it would be

useful one day.

At that time, when Sherri Leng was besieged by reporters, there were all kinds of rumors in the outside

world, and the rumors were getting more and more fierce. Elliot went to ask his grandfather, Colin Mo,

to admit Sherri's position within the family, which successfully suppressed the hearts of all people.

During the discussion with his grandfather, Colin talked about the background of Sherri. Inadvertently,

he revealed that Sherri's grandmother married into the Leng family as her second marriage. It was

supposed to be an insignificant sentence, but Elliot cared about it.

At that time, he just thought that he should have known more about the Leng family, discover

everything about their enemy, so that he would be confident to take the next step. Soon later, it was

found out that the mother of Rohan Leng, as the grandmother of Sherrie, divorced and married

Jonathon Leng, with her unborn baby, and then gave birth to Sam Leng three years later.

The grudges between the elders were always shifted to the younger generation. No matter how

excellent the eldest son and the eldest son's children were, no matter how much they respected him,

Jonathon still had a grudge against them. His attitude was neither cold nor warm. Although his

surname was Leng, after all, he was the child of his wife's ex-husband, and he was still an outsider.

Therefore, he doted on his second son and his family very much.

When Sherri was still a child, she had complained about her grandfather, but her father always forbade

her to do so. It seemed that he knew the secret very well. It was just that he was filial to the old man,

and took care of his brother, ran the company dutifully in return of raising him, but the other party was

actually eager to see you die. Everyone wanted to get a share of the big cake of family property.

After reading the investigation report from Elliot in the car, Sherri leaned her head against the window

as if all her strength had been sucked out. Seeing her so depressed, Elliot really didn't have the heart

to see her. He walked up to her and held her hand. "I'll go with you tonight." Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"No Elliot, I know what I should do." At this time, the look in Sherri's eyes returned to her usual

clearness, and became more resolute. "Lend me your computer tonight."

"It's my honor."

Time passed quickly. The setting sun had slowly sank into the horizon, but the city didn't stop moving at

all. The street lights were on one after another, and the orange lights instantly swallowed the darkness

of the moment.

There were many guests in the newly opened Cantonese restaurant in the east of city A. In the private

room on the second floor, an old man seemed to be closing the door, and in his right palm, he was

rhythmically rotating two walnuts, the size of a baby's fist.

With a squeak, the wooden door of the private room was opened, but the old man still didn't open his

eyes. "Sherri, I thought you wouldn't come today."

"How could it be?" It was none other than Sherri. She was dressed in a pink suit, capable and sweet.

With a black computer bag in her hand, she looked very abrupt. "There was a traffic jam on the road,

so I came a little late, which made grandpa wait a long time."

With a slight bow, Sherri sat down opposite Jonathon and took out the computer given by Elliot from

her bag.

Jonathon finally opened his eyes. Seeing this scene, he was a little dissatisfied. "I heard that you are

now working in the Leican Group. I remember that your husband, Elliot, was the founder of the Leican

Group. Although he's young, but he's really a business genius. What's wrong? As his wife, do you still

have so much work to do every day? "

Edgar thought that ximena took out her computer to continue her work during the day.

"My husband is not only a good boss, but also a good husband," Sherri praised him generously in front

of others. "If it wasn't Elliot. There'll be many things that I won't discover."

There must be some hidden meaning in her words. Looking at the beautiful smile on Sherri's face,

Jonathon felt that she was wearing a false smile. Since when did his little granddaughter need him to

study her so carefully.

In a trance for a moment, Jonathon said seriously, "we can't delay the withdrawal of the lawsuit any

longer. Sherri, you have to make a decision as soon as possible. The withdrawal of the lawsuit also

needs to go through the process." The top priority now was to make Sherri agree to cancel the appeal

against Michelle and Janine.

"Grandpa, I've changed my mind. I won't forgive Michelle." Without beating around the bush, Sherri

went straight to the point.

"Sherri! Think about it again! "

"There's no need!" Before Jonathon could finish his words, Sherri interrupted him, "I've thought it over

and won't change my mind. If you have time to persuade me to withdraw the lawsuit, you'd better find a

good lawyer for your granddaughter."

"What are you talking about?" Jonathon frowned and pretended to be angry. "You are all my good

granddaughters, and the back of your hands is flesh. How can grandpa just watch my own family

fight?"

"Ha ha!" Hearing that, Sherri could not help but burst into laughter, which was full of sarcasm and

mockery. "Grandpa, you are so old. Don't you really blush when you say these words?"

Jonathon didn't expect that Sherri would change her attitude so quickly, nor did he expect that she

would turn the computer over to face him. "Grandpa, look at these carefully? How can you say that I'm

your granddaughter? "

Staring at the screen of the computer, Jonathon's expression changed from suspicion at the beginning

to surprise, despair and anger, which made Sherri feel even more funny.

"Sherri! I am indeed not your biological Grandpa, " Jonathon did not intend to explain too much. Since

Sherri could refuse him so decisively today, she must have been well prepared." even so, the fact that

you were born and grew up in our family will not change. You are still my granddaughter, and your

father will always be my son. "

"Grandpa, you are really an experienced businessman. Don't you know what you are talking about?"

Sherri played with the hyacinth on the table, which was used as decoration. The purple flowers layer

upon layer, but it was her casual manner that made Jonathon feel terrible for the first time to a younger

generation. "If Grandpa really takes me as his granddaughter, why don't you restore my shares in the

JJ Group?"

"Well..." Jonathon didn't know how to answer for a moment. How could he give the shares of the Leng

family to an outsider, and the shares held by Sherri before were not small at all. "Since you have

married to the Mo family, I will keep the shares for you temporarily, and gave it back to you if you are

wronged in the Mo family?"

Sherri snorted coldly. She had witnessed the rise and fall of her family in this world. It turned out that

people's greed had become so ugly.

She had long known that Jonathon would not recover her shares, but she just asked casually. She did

not expect that he would be so nervous when it came to family property. "Grandpa said that he wanted

to enjoy his old age peacefully, didn't he? Why do you still have the energy and time to keep the shares

for me? Or do you mean that I am not the child of the Leng family after I got married? "

Jonathon was rendered speechless by her question. "What's your attitude! When your father was still

alive, he didn't dare to contradict me like this. I can see that he didn't teach you at all! How could you

be so ungrateful! Don't forget who has been feeding you and making you grow up like a rich girl! "

With a loud bang, Jonathon smashed the walnut shell on the table heavily, which was really frightening,

but Sherri was not afraid at all. A reasonable person did not need to hide his inner timidity with a bluff.

"My father has always treated you as his own father, but did you treat him as your own son?" Sherri

had never been so calm before. "Grandpa, I won't forget who made me homeless and almost exposed

to the street! Do you have a granddaughter named Alina Leng? I'm sure you don't remember. Nana

almost died in the hospital because she didn't have money to cure her illness. Is there such a

miserable ungrateful person in this world as such? "

"But you did grow up in the Leng family, didn't you?" Jonathon wanted to make the last struggle. "The

Leng family has given you far more than this. You should be grateful!"

"Are you grateful for the person who wants you to die?" The more Sherri thought about these so-called

relatives, the more selfish and cold-blooded they were. "Grandpa, you are getting old. Let me remind

you. Grandma must have brought a lot of dowry when she married into our family!"

Elliot had been investigating the background of the Leng family, so the results were very

comprehensive. "If the Leng family can really have today's financial resources and status, it can't be

separated from her grandmother's family. And the JJ Group, at the beginning of its establishment,

grandma's dowry were fully invested! It was my father's business to make it stronger! To put it bluntly!

Your Leng clan has no contribution to the JJ Group at all! "

Sherri used the word "your Leng clan" to show her complete determination, but her father had devoted

his whole life to JJ group and could never give it to others.

Jonathon's face became paler and paler. It was a long time ago, but the past could still be recalled.

Sherri's grandmother was a famous lady in the upper class of city A. Due to the arranged marriage

made by her family, she had marry a man she didn't love at all.

In that era, there was no such thing as divorce. Even if there was a man divorced a woman, a woman

did not have the right to choose her own marriage. She could only wholeheartedly serve her husband

and teach her children.

Sherri's grandmother had received some cultural education. She had been against this marriage, but

she had no choice but to marry into the family, and gave birth to her father.

How long could a marriage last without any love? Moreover, Sherri's grandmother was such a strong

woman with her own thoughts. After a fierce struggle in her mind, she still chose to divorce and find her

own happiness.

In the old times, it was already shocking for a woman to take the initiative to propose a divorce.

Moreover, this was a marriage between two big families. Under the pressure of public opinion and the

accusation of her relatives, Sherri's grandmother met Jonathon.

At that time, Jonathon had been working in a state-owned enterprise and had been provided with a

house and a car. However, compared with the grandmother of Sherri, he was still not on the same

standard, but fate was just like miracle. The two of them fell in love with each other.
