Old Master Zhai smiled bitterly. It seemed like his grandson had grown up while he was not paying attention. In the past, he used to believe that his grandson was too naive and impetuous. After all, he was only good at picking fights. He thought that since Zhai Heng did not have any future, it was good enough to leave the business in the hands of Yun Tao.

Old Master Zhai was worried that nothing would come of Zhai Heng. After all, Zhai Heng had all the attributes of becoming cannon fodder in the future.

But judging from Zhai Heng’s performance, he no longer needed to worry about such a thing. From the looks of it, his grandson was not going to become cannon fodder in the future. He would instead become quite a scheming businessman. And if he could not, there was always Han Ruochen to help him out.

However, as soon as this thought came into his mind, he turned sullen. Why did he think that Han Ruochen would be willing to take care of Zhai Heng for all of her life? In the future, she would get married and leave; where would Zhai Heng find her to get help?

"Of course, with such a good teacher as Han Ruochen...I believe you will be able to learn a lot of things."

Zhai Heng smiled and quickly said, "Grandpa, you are thinking too much. It was all thanks to my brother, uncle and my dear grandfather that I was able to learn so many things. After all, you all have put so much effort into grooming me; I would be letting you all down if I did not make any improvements." Zhai Heng was worried that his old man would think too much, so he quickly denied it. At the same time, he was worried that his old man would think too much, and he remembered what Han Ruochen told him.

He took his grandfather’s hand and patted him on the back of his hand. "Grandfather, don’t worry, I am sensible now."

Old Master Zhai: "..."

Old Master Zhai was not very accustomed to his youngest grandson’s affectionate gestures. It was usually his maternal grandson who was affectionate to him. But he was still happy. After all, Old Master Zhai knew that Zhai Heng was not someone who would show off his affection. In fact, he was simply delighted when he thought about how his grandson was willing to show affection to him.

Old Master Zhai was touched after being served tea by Zhai Heng. He took a sip of the tea and then said in a soft voice, "Well, you have certainly made improvements. There is nothing better than this. You are truly right. Your father and your elder brother are in charge of the family now. With you running the business of the Zhai family, I will be much more relieved. I don’t have to worry about anything either."

When Yun Tao came inside, he saw Old Master Zhai and Zhai Heng sitting side by side. The two of them were having an animated conversation. Seeing this, Yun Tao’s face could not help but stiffen. Still, he had to plaster a smile on his lips. He could not let Zhai Heng get close to Old Master Zhai and at the same time make the old man think that he was insensible.

In the past, Yun Tao was the one who used to sit beside Old Master Zhai. Now it was Zhai Heng who was sitting next to the old man. Yun Tao clenched his fists. He could not help but feel like he was being ignored and that his place had been taken away.

"Tao Tao, you are here?" Old Master Zhai was all smiles when he saw his maternal grandson coming over. But Yun Tao could feel that his grandfather was not happy to see him.

Yun Tao was angry. Old Master Zhai no longer cared about his maternal grandson because he had his grandson by his side. Was that how it was now?

Sure enough, his father was right. The people from the Zhai family were heartless. They did not care about family ties at all!

"Grandpa, Brother Heng." However, no matter how angry he was, Yun Tao knew he had to still smile. After all, his father’s promotion depended on this family. Even if he did not like them, he still had to smile and greet them.

Zhai Heng sized up Yun Tao. He had to admit that Han Ruochen was right. Yun Tao was really good at pretending. No wonder everyone liked the bright and cheerful Yun Tao; it was because he was good at pretending.

"Tao Tao, come here and sit down."

"Okay." Seeing that Old Master Zhai actually motioned for him to sit on the other sofa, Yun Tao grew gloomy. However, he still walked over and then, as if he had just noticed Zhai Heng, he turned to look at him and remarked, "It is so rare for Brother Heng to be here and have some time to chat with you, grandfather."

In the past, whenever Zhai Heng was free, he would mix with bad company outside. He would either drink or gamble. Now he was acting like a good boy. When Yun Tao thought about how Zhai Heng’s changes were all because of Han Ruochen, he wished he could kill that woman.

"I suddenly realised that I have a lot of things that I can share with grandpa. Anyway, I have nothing to do now...other than going to the company and working. So, I realised that it is better to stay at home and talk with my grandfather." Initially, he used to feel uncomfortable when sitting next to Old Master Zhai. But now that he noticed that Yun Tao seemed to value sitting next to Old Master Zhai, Zhai Heng suddenly felt really comfortable.

No wonder Old Master Zhai liked to snatch his things in the past. The feeling of snatching things from others was really good! It was such a delightful feeling that he wished he could provoke Yun Tao even more. No wonder Han Ruochen was working hard on getting rich instead of fighting with her adoptive sister. She was correct.

As long as she was doing well, Han Ziyan would feel uncomfortable.
