Endless Adoration
Chapter 41 The Secret Of The Leng Family

"I still need to discuss with my lawyer." Replied Sherri Leng politely.

Seeing the hesitation within Sherri, Jonathon Leng thought that it was better for her to make a decision as soon as possible, and it would be more disadvantageous to him if she delayed it. Perhaps she would immediately change her mind and refuse to let go of Michelle Leng and Janine Su.

Jonathon had to see Sherri right away and make it clear face to face.

"There is a new Cantonese restaurant in the east of the city. Grandpa has booked a table there tonight. You can come alone! Let's have a good discussion. It's alright you don't agree with the idea, but still good to have dinner with Grandpa. "

Jonathon as a smiling tiger, Sherri could not replace any strong reason to refuse, so she had to agree.

When Sherri entered the ward again, Elliot Mo noticed her uneasiness. He guessed that the call must have be very important to her and it did not bring good news to her.

"Sherri, I left something in the car just now. Can you go with me to get it?" Said Elliot.

"What?" Hearing that, Sherri came to herself and asked, "what is it?"

"You can go with me to get it." Elliot stood up first, walked to the door of the ward and signaled with his eyes to let Sherri follow him.

Although Sherri was confused, she still trusted him. She trotted towards him and said, "can't you take everything by yourself?"

"Ha ha!" Alina Leng covered her mouth and snickered.

"It's not funny at all!" Theo Gu raised his eyebrows and found it funny to see Alina who was holding back her laughter on the bed.

"Don't you think my sister and brother-in-law love each other very much? How was it said it again? Oh yeah! The husband to sing and the wife to follow! Woo... " Alina frowned and thought for a while. "It doesn't seem to work! How shall I describe it... Ah! " It turned out that Theo flicked Alina's forehead and asked, "what are you thinking about every day?"

"Humph! Uncle Gu, you are about the same age as my brother-in-law, aren't you! You don't even have a girlfriend. You can't feel the harmony between a husband and his wife. Aren't you worried about your marriage?" Alina rubbed her forehead and frowned.

Theo didn't expect that he would be urged to marry by a little girl one day!

As a matter of fact, he didn't worry about his marriage at all. Theo devoted himself to his career just like Elliot was before he got married.

Family Gu had its own family business. As the only son of the Gu family, Theo would definitely inherit his father's business in the future. On the other hand, he was very obsessed with medicine. Even if he was in business, he would not give up studying medicine.

The dual work of business and medical work was not something that everyone could take care of at the same time. Theo was already outstanding enough to be an elite in this field, so he naturally did not have time to talk about love.

As the saying goes, the emperor is not in a hurry, while the eunuch is anxious.

Theo loved to work and believed in fate. He didn't deliberately communicate with any girl, but the Gu family was very anxious and urged him to marry many times. They even arranged many blind dates behind Theo's back. Of course, they all didn't go well.

Before the marriage of Elliot and Sherri, Theo had always used him as an excuse to deal with the elders. "Mr. Mo of Moshi Group, Elliot, is a few months older than me, and he doesn't have a girlfriend. I will replace a girl one day while he is still single!"

However, Elliot married the daughter of the former CEO of JJ Group without anyone noticing, and no one knew how the two of them had known each other. They didn't know whether this is the so called "flash marriage", and soon this new daughter-in-law was recognized by master Mo. He even held a press conference to admit Sherri's position within the family. Seeing that Elliot loved and cared about her that much, it seems like they are a gentle couple.

Now the Gu family is urging him to get married more fiercely.

"Theo! You see, Elliot is already married! Why don't you replace a girl and take her home?"

Being poked in the head by a little girl like Alina, Theo pursed his lips and said, "it's an adult's business. You haven't grown up yet. Why do you worry so much! You should stay here and recuperate. The most important thing for you is to have your illness cured! Otherwise, you may be as single as me in the future."

After being called Uncle Gu by Alina for a few weeks, Theo have now accepted it frankly. She is just a little girl, but he didn't know if it was because of her eloquence that he learned to tease her with more and more new words, such as "single aristocracy" just now.

"A high-quality single person is much better than a perfunctory marriage!" I don't know why Alina would listen to me. Anyway, she has always been so eloquent and sensitive. "My Mr. Right..."

Alina is only fifteen years old and in her prime. The age when girls liked to fantasize about romantic stories. "I must replace a man like my brother-in-law, actually no! He will be better than my brother-in-law. He must be gentle, domineering, handsome and capable...

Before Alina could finish her words, Theo gave her another shudder and said, "you little girl, you must have read too many novels!"

On the other side, Sherri followed Elliot all the way, thinking about how to face Jonathon this afternoon.

All of a sudden, Elliot stopped at the corner without warning. Lost in thought, Sherri did not notice him and had herself bumped into his straight back. "Ouch!" Feeling the pain, Sherri touched her forehead silently.

As Elliot turned around, he said: "I'm your husband. I have the obligation to share your worries!" His tone was serious and unquestionable domineering. Elliot had always been gentle and considerate to Sherri. Today, when she saw the anger in his eyes, he seemed to have gotten angry for real this time.

Subconsciously, Sherri took a few steps back, but Elliot didn't let her go. He approached her step by step, with a determined look in his eyes. In the end, she was forced to lean against the wall, but Elliot still didn't give her a way back. He stretched out his long arm against the wall and held Sherri in his arms. "Aren't you going to tell me yet?"

"Elliot." Somehow, Sherri felt that this posture was a little subtle. In front of her, the masculine hormone of Elliot was pouring on her face. She thought that her face should be very red now.

"Let go of me. and I'll tell you."

Although there were not many people in this corner, it was inevitable that someone would pass by since it was a hospital. At that time, when seeing them like this, Elliot might not feel anything, but Sherri would feel very embarrassed. In fact, she'll be very shy.

"I won't let you go if you don't tell me." She didn't expect that Elliot could be so shameless!

"You!" With Sherri's beautiful eyes wide open, she stared at the man in front of her who was only five centimeters away from her. In the end, she could not bear but said: "My grandfather came to me. He hoped that I would withdraw the lawsuit and let go of Michelle and Janine."

"So you agreed?" Elliot frowned. He knew that his Sherri seemed to be strong, but in fact, her heart was very soft. Yet, Jonathon was a difficult character to deal with.

"Not yet, but I haven't refused him explicitly. He invited me to dinner tonight. Maybe he has made the final showdown."

"I'll go with you!" Elliot said without hesitation. He was afraid that Sherri would suffer losses.

Sherri shook her head with a smile. "He only has an appointment with me. You don't have to worry that I can handle it." How could Elliot not worry about it? It was not an ordinary dinner between granddaughters, but a banquet! If master Leng really cared about Sherri, how could he be so cruel to let her leave the Leng family and make Alina almost die of heart disease? How could he be so protective of Michelle and hurt Sherri again.

"Then what do you think? Do you really want to let go of Michelle?" At this time, Elliot had slowly put down his arm that was locking Sherri.

"I can't forgive her, but this time it's my grandfather! I can't just leave him with no choice, right? "

"Of course, yes!" It was a short and powerful word, and the coldness in Elliot's eyes was so frightening just like when he saw Sherri for the first time. "What are you talking about, Elliot?"

"Sherri, I didn't mean to tell you! But it's a fact. You need to know that Jonathon is not your biological grandfather. He is the stepfather of your father. "Looking at the surprised expression on Sherri's face, Elliot knew that this news was hard for anyone to digest. "The investigation material is in my computer, and the computer is in the car. You can go with me to have a look."

There were two aspects to Sherri's surprise.

First of all, anyone who knew that their grandfather was not his biological family would be surprised. No wonder her grandfather favored her uncle since she was a child. Even if she had the best performance, she couldn't compete with the coquetry of Michelle and Melissa Leng. No wonder her grandfather handed over the position of deputy CEO to her uncle Sam Leng without hesitation, and her father's position of CEO was built on his strength step by step.

It was ridiculous that even though she had tried so hard for so long, she still couldn't compare with the person born with a golden key.

On the other hand, Elliot was the first one to know the secret. It was not the Leng family, but the Mo family!

Isn't it surprising.

However, there was no time for Sherri to think about the reason. She just wanted to see the real investigation results with Elliot.

In fact, it was not until recently that Elliot had knew this secret. He had planned to keep it from Sherri, afraid that it would hurt her for the second time.

But he didn't expect that Jonathon would force Sherri to do something against her will regardless of being her grandfather. Therefore, he must tell her to make a decision as to that she should never forgive Michelle and Janine.

In the past, Sherri had scruples because he was her grandfather. Now that she knew that she is not his biological granddaughter, she no longer needs to care about him. In this world, Elliot would never want to see Sherri being wronged due to moral kidnapping. ☐☐☐
