My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 186: It's time to let go

"Grandpa."

Gloria went downstairs, sitting across from Richard.

When Richard saw Gloria, he smiled. "I decided to come here on the spur of the moment, so I was worried that none of you would be at home."

Gloria also smiled, as she was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Richard asked. "Where is Kenny?"

As Aunt Hu brought Gloria a cup of tea, Gloria held the cup, saying. "He's at work."

Richard suddenly seemed to understand something. "I'm getting old, while I'm getting confused, as I thought you had as much leisure as an old man like me. I'm confused as I'm old..."

"Grandpa, you are as fit as a fiddle, and you're not confused." Gloria pretended to smile, while she couldn't guess what Richard really wanted to talk to her about.

"I retired early, while Kenny's Dad is now in his early fifties, too, so his health is not as good as he used to be. I heard Kenny run a company with someone else, and do you know that..."

What Richard said was kind of explicit, so Gloria, of course, understood what he meant.

As Kenny founded Sheng Ding Media all by himself, he has been working in Sheng Ding Media all the time, while he did not take charge of the family business, the Clarke's Group.

Since Richard told her that Kenny's Dad wasn't as healthy as he used to be, what Richard really meant was that he wanted Kenny to go back to work at Clarke's Group.

Gloria didn't say anything straight because Richard didn't say it directly. "I know about it, but I don't know much about it."

Richard smiled, saying slowly. "Kenny has to take over the Clarke's Group sooner or later, so it's time for him to let go of the insignificant company. Don't you think so?

Sheng Ding Media, as the leader of the domestic entertainment industry, was actually an insignificant company to Richard.

In fact, he was right to say so.

After all, the Clarke's Group was the wealth and resources accumulated by several generations of the rich family, the Clarke's, so of course, it was unsurpassed by Sheng Ding Media founded by Kenny.

"I don't know about Kenny's job or anything like that." Gloria looked down, looking humble.

Richard came to see her today probably because he wanted her to talk Kenny into coming back to the Clarke's Group to take over the family business.

But why should she be the one to persuade him?

Now that Richard has come to visit her, it turned out that it's Kenny who didn't want to go back to the Clarke's Group.

So, of course, she's not going to make any promises to Richard.

Richard's smile faded as he listened, while he squinted at Gloria, naturally showing his imposing manner as an elder.

Gloria felt the pressure on her, and her whole body strained.

But she still didn't promise to him.

They faced each other for a while and suddenly, Richard burst out laughing, saying. "That guy has a good eye for people."

Gloria unclenched her fists, while her palms were moist with sweat.

She wasn't as calm as she seemed, and she was frightened in her heart.

Richard, unlike Mayo, he was a real man of vision, while he's been through a lot of ups and downs. He was very famous in business when he was young, so even now that he was old and retired, his imposing manner was still frightening.

That may be what made the Clarke's members special.

The Clarke's members had wealth and status that ordinary people have always admired but never had, so the Clarke's members looked more confident and powerful than ordinary people.

These were engraved in their bones, and no one else could learn from them.

"So I just want to say that I hope that Kenny can go back to the Clarke's Group and take over the family business. I talked to him about it last time when you were in the old mansion, but he refused, so I hope that you can help me to persuade him, just as Grandpa beg you."

Richard's voice suddenly sounded pleading and sincere, so Gloria could not refuse.

"I could talk to him for you, but as he won't even listen to you, I'm afraid..."

Richard smiled with satisfaction and he interrupted. "Don't worry. I know that."

When Richard heard that Gloria would speak this to Kenny, he was satisfied, leaving.

Richard came and went in a hurry while he didn't make a fuss. She could see that when Richard was young, he was also a man of his word as well as a fast worker, and Kenny was just like him in that.

She had just seen Richard off when Kenny called her.

As soon as she answered the phone, she heard Kenny ask. "Have you eaten yet?"

"I'm getting ready to eat." She's been talking to Richard for a while, and it's almost noon.

"Is Grandpa gone?" Kenny asked again.

"Did you know he was coming?" Gloria picked up her chopsticks to eat, but after listening to him, she put them down.

Kenny scoffed. "What else could he have done?"

He sounded extremely arrogant.

…

Gloria had no appetite, so after she helped herself to something, she put down her chopsticks, as she was going to have some more food for lunch.

Kenny, who was supposed to be at the office, showed up at noon.

"Don't you have to work?"

"How could work be as important as you?" Kenny raised the corners of his mouth, his eyes looked deep, and he looked very like a rascal. "I still remember what you said in the morning."

"..." Ha ha ha.

Gloria ignored him and went straight to the restaurant.

Aunt Hu, as if she knew Kenny would be back for lunch in the morning, prepared a nice meal with five or six dishes.

"Young lady, I forgot to tell you when the old master came by. When the young master left this morning, he said he would be back for lunch." Aunt Hu saw Gloria looking puzzled, explaining.

Gloria turned to look at Kenny.

Kenny sat down opposite her, saying. "I'm not going to the office this afternoon because I'm done with my work this morning."

"Doesn't Carl mind your working in this way, does he?"

Speaking of Carl, Gloria suddenly remembered those screenshots Edith showed her yesterday.

Kenny said, looking deadpan. "What can he do if he minds this?"

Indeed, as Carl wouldn't say anything offensive in front of Kenny, Carl wouldn't say it, even if he did mind this. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Gloria compressed her lips, thinking. "Carl... Does he like women?"

"What's the matter?" Kenny asked, looking up at her and raising his eyebrows.

"People on the Internet say he and Si Chengyu..." After Gloria had said these words, she shut up, as she wanted Kenny to imagine what she was going to say.

Kenny was a straight man, so he didn't understand what Gloria was saying.

"What happened to him and eldest Brother?"

Gloria choked, took out her phone and tried to find the popular review online for Kenny.

However, when she opened the software, Skype, she saw the topic, #Si Chengyu's mysterious girlfriend#, which became a top search again.

Kenny was serving Gloria with his chopsticks, and when he saw her face change, he asked. "What's the matter?"

"Something about me and eldest Brother gets searched, becoming a top search again." Gloria frowned, pushing the phone in front of Kenny.

Kenny took the phone, looking at it. In the topic, #Si Chengyu's mysterious girlfriend #, there were all pictures of Gloria and Si Chengyu at the airport.
