CEO He : Please Don't Love Me

"Here, eat it."

Butler Zhang put the plate filled with various dishes on the table quite a little loudly.

The sound successfully attracted Grandfather He's attention and the old man looked towards the plate with the corner of his eyes.

He swallowed seeing his favorite dishes and for a moment even thought of having them but he suddenly remember his purpose and immediately moved his eyes away from the plate. 

"Take this away from here."

He said to Butler Zhang harshly when he found that he could still smell the dishes and the aroma was weakening his willpower.

Butler Zhang sighed in frustration as he didn't know what he should do to make Grandfather He eat anything.

In the end, he exited the dining room and took out his phone to make a call.

(A few minutes later)

"Ungrateful b***d, I want that stinky grandson to come here and talk to me. How can he just break the ties of our family with Shen's family? He is not that grown-up yet and I have never given him that power."

Sitting inside the dining room of He Villa, Grandfather He shouted on the phone.

On the other side of the phone, He Zhuang pressed his temples and put away the phone from his ear at a little distance as soon as Grandfather He started another round of shouting and curses.

He would not have even bothered to call this old man if Butler Zhang had not called him and told him that the old man had eaten nothing since morning.

It was not like He Zhuang cared. 

He was already so busy managing He Corporation that he would not want his old father to die and have another addition of a series of new works. 

It was after a very long time that Grandfather He was finally tired and stopped shouting.

Hearing no voice from the other side, He Zhuang picked up the phone again from his table and said

"Do you remember the girl Jian was looking for?"

On the other side of the phone, Grandfather He frowned at the sudden change of the topic and shouted again at his son.

"Ungrateful b***d, are you trying to change the topic? Don't play these tricks with me. I am your father. Just come to He villa in the future. I will break the legs of both of you."

Standing behind Grandfather He, Butler Zhang rolled his eyes at his old master's words for the umpteenth time.     

'These threats now have become older than you.' He had wanted to say but knew that he would only anger the old man more by saying these words so remained silent even after hearing his annoying and meaningless threats again and again.

'How could I get such a stupid master?'

The wise and old butler thought suddenly when Grandfather He didn't shut his mouth at all.

"You can talk, shout and do whatever you want. I will cut the call because I don't have so much to waste on you." 

Came the cold voice of irritated He Zhuang and Grandfather He instantly shut his mouth.

Although he was really angry by his son's words, he knew that the ungrateful b****d would really do what he said if he didn't shut up now.

"Do you remember that girl?"

He Zhuang asked again and Grandfather He nodded his head like a child.

It was only when Butler Zhang indicated him to speak he understood that his son could not see his nod so he answered immediately

"Yes, I remember."

He Zhuang sighed and said

"Jian had found that girl."

"What? When? You two…both of you tell me nothing."

"Shut up."

He Zhuang said before his father could start another round of shouting and cursing.

"The Shen family filed a complaint against that girl…a wrong complaint, that too, intentionally… even after He Jian had declared in the engagement banquet of their son that that girl was under his shelter."

He Zhuang told his father hoping for him to end this matter then and there.

Grandfather He, however, was too shocked to say anything.

"I am hanging up now."

He Zhuang said when he didn't hear anything from the other side and Grandfather He came out of his shock.

"Stop. So Jian will not stop damaging Shen family?"

"He had broken ties He family had with Shen family. Every project that we had together had been ended. This is his way of warning Shen family, Father. You know, how he can become. This is the least he had done and this is the best you can expect from him."

With that, He Zhuang hung up and Grandfather He leaned back on his chair in a daze.

Seeing him sitting so silently, Butler Zhang got worried and bent down as he waved his hand in front of Grandfather He's face.

"Master, are you alright?"

Grandfather He didn't move even a bit so Butler Zhang got more worried and shouted

"Old man…are you having a heart attack?"

He shook Grandfather He by holding his shoulders. Grandfather He started to feel dizzy with so much shaking and was about to shout at his butler to stop when he heard Butler Zhang continuing

"Tell me…I will call Young Master and Master now."     

"Why would you call them?" asked Grandfather He in confusion.

'Shouldn't he call an ambulance first?'     

"To prepare for your funeral."

Came the reply of his intelligent butler.

Grandfather He no longer He what should he do. He was so angry that he wished he could bang his head somewhere but he also didn't want to feel any pain.

In the end, he rudely pushed away his butler's hands from his shoulders and said

"That stinky grandson of mine did all this…for a girl?"

Grandfather He's words came out more like a question than a statement, making Butler Zhang confuse.

"Which girl?"

"The girl from five years ago …who had saved Jian…"

"Oh…"

Said Butler Zhang and advised Grandfather He

"I think you should not put your nose in all this. Young Master has his own thoughts but he would never put He family in a compromising situation. If Young Master is doing any harm to Shen family then they must have deserved it."

At his butler's words, Grandfather He narrowed his eyes in disgust and said 

"I am not worried about that."

"So what are you sulking about now?"

Butler Zhang asked as his patience was now almost ending. He had decided already. If this old man didn't eat anything in the next few minutes, then he would stuff all of this food in his mouth forcefully.

If only Grandfather He had known his butler's thoughts then the old man would have been scared out of his wits. 

The old man didn't know anything and continued

"Jian did all this for a girl. This grandson of mine who had never glanced at opposite gender seriously did something for a girl…"

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Butler Zhang asked harshly as his other hand was about to pick up the food from the plate and stuff it into Grandfather He's mouth.

"No, it isn't."

Grandfather He reply came immediately and butler Zhang stopped immediately because at this moment, Grandfather He looked quite serious.

"Old man, what happened?"

Grandfather He looked at his butler for a few moments and then signed him to come closer.

The already bent Butler Zhang bent more so that his ear was now Grandfather He's mouth.

"I had found that girl before He Jian."

Butler Zhang's eyes grew wide and he looked at his old man with shock-filled eyes.

"You are quite daring to hide it all along from Young Master."

Grandfather He avoided his butler's eyes and said a quiet 'shut up'.

"I know almost everything about her. She is from a very ordinary family."

Grandfather He frowned as he said his last words and Butler Zhang's expression was no different than him.

The old butler straightened his back and looked at his master with narrowed eyes.     

"Old man, do you dislike people from ordinary families?"

Grandfather He nodded his head and Butler Zhang's eyes went cold and sharp. The old man instantly realized that Butler Zhang took his words personally so he said immediately.

"Not in that way, old butler."

Confusion again flooded Butler Zhang's mind and heart.

He saw his master leaning against his chair as he sighed heavily and said

"One woman from that kind of family had already done enough damage to my family."

Heavy silence surrounded the dining room and Butler Zhang understood what Grandfather He was trying to imply.

"Jian would never do something like this unless that girl matters too much for him. I and He Zhuang had known this already when Jian had declared five years ago that he wants to find that girl."

"And I don't want another like her to come in my family and damage it more. Although that stinky grandson of mine doesn't care for me, this old man cares for him."   

Silence lingered inside the dining room for a few more moments before Butler Zhang asked

"So what will you do?"

Grandfather He remained silent for a moment with a thoughtful expression on his face. A few moments later, his face brightened suddenly and he said

"This old man has an idea."
