Chapter 72 It is still a cage (2/2)

After Old Han's passing, I learned that she found a light in life. The young lad opened her heart and helped her. He did more than I, her own grandfather could do. It is only a pity that young lad had to leave so early...

I've seen her cry alone at night many times. She acts like she is fine, but she is still human, and humans shed tears, no matter how much time has passed by.

As her grandfather, I want to support her dreams and let her be free of heart ache.”

Zhang Yong glance at the old man from the mirror. Thousands of feelings erupted inside him, ”Chairman...”

”As for the boy... he may have been adopted but he is strong willed. The other family members may look down on him, but he is not an easy opponent. I don't want him to experience the cruelty of the world I live in at such a young age.”

Zhang Yong sighed dreadfully. It was only he who gets to see this heartfelt side of the old man.

”Chairman, I believe, if young Miss hears your real reason in wanting her to take over the Corporation, she will definitely agree.”

The old man looks down and slowly, he retrieves a picture from his wallet. The picture was old and fading in colors. His eyes softened at the two young people.

”Han Min Joon and Ji An Ling never wanted to drag their daughter in the power struggle world. For them, I will keep my words and not force her. As for the boy, I hope when he comes of mature age, he will join the military and take over my position. If doesn't wish to, then I will respect his decision.”

The old man takes a deep breath.

”Like a bird trapped in a golden cage, I don't want the both of them to lose their wings.”

Zhang Yong: ”Chairman, I believe Miss and young master are happy, even if they have no freedom, as long as you are happy.”

The old man shakes his head, ”No matter how pretty the cage is... it is still a cage *cough*cough* I don't want to see them sad.”

Maybe due to him expressing himself too much, the old man felt depress and starts coughing.

”*cough* You must keep this a secret. I don't want *cough* to give those snakes a chance.”

”Yes, Chairman..”

Zhang Yong felt awful. He really wants to let Yue Ling and Jingxu know about Chairman Ji's illness, but... he is just an assistant.

He isn't afraid of getting fired, but as a man who's been by Chairman Ji's side for so long, he wanted to respect the old man's decision.
