Chapter 525: Love To Snatch Things

However, Old Master Zhai could not say anything against Yun Tao. Zhai Heng was already against Yun Tao and didn’t like him in the least; if he started to sing along with him, Old Master Zhai was worried that Zhai Heng would only dislike Yun Tao even more.

"Ah Heng, there is no overnight hatred between family members. I admit that Tao Tao is a little envious of you, but he will grow out of it. He will change slowly. Since you are older than him, try to not take his actions to heart." Old Master Zhai had no choice but to play the role of peacemaker. What else could he do? One was his grandson and the other was his maternal grandson. He could not just choose one, could he?

"Grandpa, what kind of deep-seated hatred is there between Yun Tao and me? He always looks for an opportunity to plot against me. I have lost count of the situations where he tried to harm me. Why play such sinister tricks on me all the time? First, he came up with a scheme to drug me and even came up with such a tricky method! If I were not lucky, then I would have lost that deal! And he did the same thing again. Since he could not harm me, he hired someone to harm my driver."

"Do you even know how hard it was for me to look for another driver overseas? Fortunately, I was prepared this time around. If not, then I would be the one who had suffered."

"Grandpa, tell me, just how many hours did he spend to come up with such vicious schemes? I mean, it is so nice to be young. Because in the end, no matter what you do, the elder one has to forgive you. Too bad my parents are not around and are busy doing their own stuff. Otherwise, I would have asked them why they did not wait a few more years to give birth to me. If my parents had given birth to me after two or three years, then how good would it have been?"

After staying with Han Ruochen, Zhai Heng had learnt to question back instead of refuting.

Old Master Zhai’s face turned red and puffy as he held his breath. He had to pat his chest a few more times before he could calm down. His grandson really made him speechless. After some time, Old Master Zhai could no longer stay quiet. He breathed through his nose and asked Zhai Heng, "Ah Heng, do you hate Yun Tao now? Did you decide not to treat him like a family member anymore?"

In this lifetime, he only had a maternal grandson. He was initially hoping for the two of them to get along with one another. After all, he only had a son and a daughter. He wished the two of them to support one another. Especially his daughter. As long as his son and grandchildren were willing to support his daughter, her life in the Yun family would become easier.

But looking at the current situation, Old Master Zhai knew it would be very difficult. Given how much Zhai Heng disliked Yun Tao, it was impossible for him to help his cousin.

When Zhai Heng saw the frustrated look on his grandfather’s face, he sighed. "Grandpa, I know that you are worried. Relatives will always be relatives. But there are different ranges of relationships between them. What my uncle and brother said made sense. My auntie is married and now bears the surname of the Yun family. She is no longer a member of the Zhai family. If even my auntie is behaving this way, then how about Yun Tao, who grew up in the Yun family?

"Grandpa, do you really not understand what Yun Tao is trying to do?"

"Ah Heng, who told you these things?" Old Master Zhai was stunned when he heard Zhai Heng’s words. In the past, his grandson had never worried about such things. He was reckless and impulsive, but now he was acting so smart and serious that Old Master Zhai had no idea what to think.

Most importantly, Old Master Zhai was shocked by Zhai Heng’s words. He was unwilling to believe that his daughter had changed. He was even more reluctant to think that his maternal grandson was hiding ill intentions toward the Zhai family. How could he believe such a thing? He had watched Yun Tao grow up in front of him. The boy was not only nice, but he was also polite and filial toward him.

"Grandpa, my elder brother was the one who taught me these things. He told me that one should learn from one’s mistakes. If I cannot even understand something so simple, then I deserve to be harmed to death by others."

At the sight of his grandfather’s face turning blue, Zhai Heng only sighed. He knew that his old man was not going to believe that his aunt was thinking of using the Zhai family as the Yun family’s stepping stone. He cared too much about his daughter to believe this harsh truth. But his older brother told him that no one could be trusted. Not even his aunt. The woman might have cared for them when she was young and had no children, or when Yun Tao was too young.

But now things had changed.

"Ah Heng, you—"

"Grandpa, I think you need to stop worrying about such things. This family has my brother and me now. There is also our dad." Zhai Heng served his grandfather a cup of tea and offered it to him. "Actually, as long as the Yun family does not go overboard, they can still remain our relatives, and we will take care of our aunt. Of course, if they bully our aunt, then my brother and I will help her out."

Although they would help, the Zhai family was the Zhai family, and the Yun family was the Yun family. It should be clear that the two families were different, and no one should confuse these two families as one, even Yun Tao.

If they dare to do such a thing then they could not blame him for coming down at them hard.
