Splendid in bag

Lewis sent Hughes downstairs to the law firm, then pulled over and stopped the car.When Hughes put away his mobile phone and unbuckled his seat belt, Lewis quickly got out of the car, walked around to the side of the passenger seat, and opened the door.

Hughes didn't expect Lewis to open the door for himself, he was quite surprised, and smiled again: "It seems that today you have made up your mind to be a competent driver."

"It's just basic etiquette." Lewis leaned on the side of the car with one hand and made a "please" gesture, "Master, do you need me to help you?"

It was rare for Hughes to hear Lewis call himself "Master", and he felt refreshed when he was called out with such a smile all of a sudden.

"You don't need to help, young master." Hughes got out of the car and smiled at Lewis.

Lewis closed the car door, and said again: "Then when the young master leaves work, can you tell me in advance?"

Hughes smiled and nodded, then waved to Lewis: "Aren't you leaving? Isn't there something on Huixin Street?"

"I'd better watch you go upstairs before leaving." Lewis leaned against the side of the luxury car, with his pockets in his pockets, his two long legs crossed casually, not so much like a "big brother driver", but more like a model on the cover of a magazine .

It was the first time for Hughes to be watched by Lewis like this, and he was a little unnatural. After taking two steps, he couldn't help turning his head back, and found that Lewis was still standing there, his eyes were on him, and his brows were like spring water, and his emotions welled up in his heart .

Hughes couldn't move anymore, and turned to look at Lewis.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Lewis asked, "What's wrong?"

Hughes said with a smile: "This feeling is a bit strange."

"Why is that strange?" Lewis asked.

"I watch you off every time." Hughes said, "It's the first time to switch roles like this."

Lewis was stunned. He never knew that Hughes always watched him off in the past.

However, Lewis thought carefully, indeed, every time they met or parted, it was Lewis who turned his back first.Lewis didn't know what kind of expression Hughes used to watch him leave after he turned his back.

Lewis froze for a moment, not knowing what to say.

Hughes smiled and said, "Go first if you are busy."

After finishing speaking, Hughes turned around and walked into the lawyer's office. This time, he didn't look back.Lewis stood on the side of the street with people coming and going, watching the tall and slender figure of Hughes disappear into the cold office building.

Hughes didn't look back, but when he arrived at the lawyer's office, he couldn't help but look down through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and found that the car was no longer there, so he sighed silently: "It seems that I miss him more..."

The lawyer's voice sounded from behind: "How is it? Is the scenery in my office okay?"

Hughes came back to his senses and turned his face. There was no tender look on his face, only the same polite and cold smile as before: "It's good. I can see far."

"Do you also like this kind of floor-to-ceiling windows?" The lawyer thought of Hughes' office on the top floor of a skyscraper. "I remember, your office also has floor-to-ceiling windows like this. You also like to look down?"

"Standing at such a high place, naturally we can only look down." Sitting on the sofa, Hughes replied contentedly, with a natural arrogance in his expression.

"Hehe." The lawyer smiled, holding a thick stack of documents, and said, "But, do you plan to continue sitting in that office? Everyone in the board of directors of 'Proud Eagle' wants to kick you out."

"Everyone?" Hughes laughed, "I don't think so. Isn't there Lewis supporting me?"

"Having said that," the lawyer said, "you and Mr. Lewis' shares... plus the minority shareholders you can control... the total shareholding is about 30%, and the control over the group is still very weak. Now that most of the directors have filed a lawsuit against you, they probably don’t intend to be polite to you anymore. When the next board meeting is held, it’s time to kick you out.”

"It's not 'probably', it's confirmed." Hughes turned on the computer, which contained a notice of the next board meeting, with items to be resolved, including the resolution to remove Hughes from all positions within the group.

At the same time, Lewis, who is also a member of the company's board of directors, also received a notice of the meeting.Speaking of which, it was expected that the board of directors planned to dismiss Hughes, but when he saw the news, Lewis still couldn't help being surprised and worried.

"When the news broke, my brother was so calm... I thought he had some way to deal with it." Lewis said to himself, "Is it just to comfort me?"

As he said that, Lewis scrolled down the page and found that in addition to deciding to dismiss Hughes, the board of directors would also decide whether to kick Lewis out of the board of directors.

This didn't surprise Lewis too much. After all, since they planned to get Hughes away, they had no reason to keep themselves.After all, he was in the same boat as Hughes.

After a while, Lewis' cell phone rang.He picked it up and saw that it was Hughes' phone.

"Have you received the resolutions from the meeting?" Hughes asked.

"Yeah." Lewis nodded, with concern in his tone, "Have you already thought about what to do?"

Hughes said: "I think Lao Liu has only your son left, and he will not give up on you so easily. He will probably contact you in the next few days."

"Hmm." Lewis couldn't refute, so he nodded, "You mean...?"

"Why don't you give the old man a little hope?" Hughes said, his tone seemed to be teasing.

"What do you mean?" Lewis didn't understand.

Hughes whispered, "Both he and I want you to be chairman."

Lewis was stunned. After a while, he finally understood, but shook his head again: "It's impossible! I've lied to him once before. I'm the one who betrayed him. How could he be fooled again?"

Before, when Hughes left the country for Ainia, Lewis had already deceived his father and uncle once in order to keep Hughes' position as chairman.How could they trust Lewis now?

"Uncles probably won't trust you anymore, but Lao Liu is different. He is already a widow and has no other choice." Hughes saw this and continued, "You listen to me...everything will be fine got up."

When Hughes said "you listen to me", his tone was both tough and gentle, like an unsharpened knife, piercing Lewis' weak willpower.

As Hughes said, Lao Liu is indeed "lonely".

Originally, he was supposed to be magnificent, with untold wealth, a beautiful wife and filial son, but now?Aged, he sat alone in the courtyard of the house.

Since Mrs. Lambert left, the place has become lifeless.Occasionally, Lao Liu would miss the old days.Although he is not a man who takes care of his family, he also enjoys family happiness and likes to see his wife and children accompanying him in harmony.However, I don't know when, his wife and children have become restless one by one...

He was very angry at first, and he took many measures to punish and suppress. Unexpectedly, it was himself who was punished and suppressed in the end.

"Master." The butler's voice sounded behind Old Liu.

Old Liu pulled himself out of deep thought, turned his head and said, "What's the matter?"

The housekeeper said, "The second young master is back."

Old Liu's face showed a happy expression, and the texture on his face became deeper.

Soon, Lao Liu arrived at the living room and saw Lewis sitting on the sofa.Lewis has a particularly beautiful figure. He is wearing a loose knitted sweater, which makes his shoulders look slender and smooth, like a swan.

Lao Liu stared at his handsome son, slightly taken aback.

It seemed that he hadn't seen his son for a long time, but counting carefully, it was only a few months.

This was the first time he saw a sparkle in Lewis.

Or, he has been ignoring the good things about Lewis, always criticizing him, always thinking that he is "the one who is not so good."Now it seems that Lewis can be regarded as a talent.

"You're here..." Old Liu's tone was mixed with sadness and joy.

Lewis originally had a lot of grudges against Old Liu, but now seeing that Old Liu was getting restless, he softened his heart.Thinking that I came to deceive my old father, I feel even more uneasy.

"Father," Lewis said, clearing his throat, "what do you want from me?"

Old Liu sat on the sofa, sighed, and said, "Lewis, you should know that the uncles are going to kick you and Hughes out of the board."

"Well, I know." Lewis said, with a light tone, "I can understand you doing this."

"It's not 'us'! It's 'they' who want to kick you away! I really want to protect you!" Old Liu's voice sounded old, "After all, you are my only son!"

Looking at Lao Liu's desperate expression, Lewis had to sigh that Hughes' ability to calculate people's hearts is really accurate.Old Liu's reaction was completely within Hughes' expectations.

Thinking of this, Lewis felt a faint fear again: Was my reaction all in my brother's prediction?

Seeing that Lewis didn't speak, Old Liu muttered to himself again: "They all said that when Hughes is removed, I will be allowed to return to the chairman's throne... But it doesn't make sense to me anymore. My year The task is too high, and I don’t have the energy to do it. Even if I sit on this throne, how many more years can I sit on? Will it be for you in the end?”

Lewis was not surprised to hear the sad and dejected tone in Old Liu's tone.They haven't seen each other for a few months, why is Lao Liu so vicissitudes?

Lewis couldn't help but asked, "Father, did something happen to you?"

"Oh... I really can't hide it from you..." Old Liu sighed, stroking his frosty temples, "I have liver cancer."

Lewis felt like a thunderbolt.

This does explain why Lao Liu has been behaving strangely lately.Before, he had been sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, watching several uncles bite Hughes, but never expressed his position publicly.But a few days ago, Liu Shun complied with the willful request of the sixth uncle and publicly denied the father-son relationship with Hughes.But now, Old Liu has changed his usual style of being cold and hard-headed, and begged Lewis to come home with tenderness and humility...

It turned out to be the case.

Seeing his father go through such great pain, Lewis's resentment also dissipated immediately.

"I will give you everything, son." As the father said, he shed a few old tears, hitting Lewis' softened heart little by little.

When it was still raining lightly, the black SUV stopped at the door of the "Proud Eagle" building.

Hughes got into the car, looked at Lewis' side face, and found a very cold and indifferent expression.Hughes understood a little bit: "Have you met Lao Liu?"

"Did you know early on?" Lewis' voice was very soft, but it was very clear in the well-sound-proof carriage, "About father's illness?"

"What disease?" Hughes sneered, "Is it terminally ill?"

Hughes' banter offended Lewiston."I know you're an enemy of him, but he's also my father," Lewis said displeased.

Hughes laughed and said, "He told you that he was sick? Then, let you go back to be his filial son, so that he will not die without children? Or, he is dying soon, so you can hand everything over to him. Leave it to you?"

Old Liu tearfully dragged Lewis to talk about himself all afternoon, adding up to write a long novel.Hughes spoke concisely, summing up old Liu's basket of words in a few words.

Although what Hughes said was true, Lewis could not agree with Hughes' attitude.Lewis said: "Tell me, did you know that your father was ill?"

"And if so?" said Hughes, "what do you want?"

Lewis' face turned pale with anger: "You are too much!"

"Don't worry about it," Hughes said lightly, "It's a thousand years of trouble..."

Lewis heard Hughes' ruthless words, and his face was almost crooked: "He is my father after all, can you take my feelings into consideration?"

Hughes glanced at Lewis lightly, but saw that Lewis' eye circles were red with anger.Hughes softened his heart immediately, and coaxed him to explain, "He lied to you."

"What?" Lewis was stunned for a moment, blinking his eyes, "What lied to me?"

Hughes smiled helplessly, rubbed Lewis' hair, and said, "Who told you to be easy to deceive?"

"No, that's not right..." Lewis turned pale in shock, "You mean...he's not sick? But he lied to me that he was terminally ill?"

"Yeah. Is it weird?" Hughes shrugged, "His personal doctor is mine. Let alone a terminal illness, he just has a cold, and I know it all."

Lewis was stunned for a long time, but said, "He...why is he like this..."

"No, it's too bad." Hughes scratched Lewis' reddened nose, "You are always too gentle. Gentleness is very precious, don't give it to others casually."

The gentleness like Hughes is never easily given to others.
