CEO He : Please Don't Love Me Novel

Chapter 18 - Young Master He Jian


Inside the car, the atmosphere was so cold that the driver couldn’t help but shudder. He glanced at the man sitting on the back seat but suddenly wished he had not when those cold eyes accidentally caught his. He withdrew his eyes and looked in the front. Since Young Master had sat inside the car after suddenly running away on the other side of the road, he was emanating a ‘Don’t Open your mouth unless you don’t want your tongue’ aura. He increased the speed wishing to get out of this suffocating silence as soon as possible.

The car soon stopped outside the hospital where Grandfather He was admitted because of the ‘sudden pain in the chest.’ He Jian’s assistant Chu Feng was already waiting for him outside the hospital. Opening the door for his boss, he took him to the ICU room.

Inside the VIP room of the hospital, Grandfather He had a fork in his hands. He had a plate full of fruits in his lap. The butler was sitting on a chair by his side peeling an apple.

This was the scene He Jian saw when he opened the door. The old man’s face was so ruddy that the patient clothes he was wearing simply looked like a joke.

The butler’s mouth was wide opened and the knife fell from his hands at the floor with a clattering sound. Grandfather He who was still busy eating fruits with a goofy smile on his face looked at his plate that was about to get empty and then at the old butler who had stopped cutting fruits for him. His eyes were full of dissatisfaction towards the butler as he said

“Old Zhang, Why are you standing idly like this? Quickly peel and cut some more. I need to have some energy when Jian comes otherwise he will my wise grandson will easily find out the truth.”

Butler Zhang’s lips twitched.

‘Don’t worry; you don’t need to put up any act now.’

Still, to show his loyalty towards the old man, the butler leaned closer to him and whispered in his ear in a low voice.

“Master, Young Master He is already here.”

Grandfather He seemed to not believe his butler and thought that he was joking. He looked at his face to confirm. However, the butler blinked his eyes vigorously as if telling him that he was not joking. Grandfather He slowly turned around and sure enough his grandson was standing at the door of the room currently looking at him with his cold blue eyes.

He let out an awkward laugh and looked towards his butler silently asking for help. However, the butler avoided his eyes and started looking around the room. Seeing this, Grandfather He glared at him and cursed him silently inside his heart.

Then he looked towards his grandson who was still standing at the door.

“Dear Grandson, Why are you standing there? Come inside, Sit here.” He patted the spot by his side.

When He Jian entered the room, the old man started spouting lies even before his grandson could sit.

“I told old Zhang not to call you. But he didn’t listen to me. I just had indigestion and my chest started to ache suddenly. The doctor said that there is nothing to worry about. Old Zhang called you in vain.”

Butler Zhang glared resentfully at his master who was shamelessly putting all the blame on him.

He Jian calmly sat on the couch that was placed a few steps away from the bed and asked the old man.

“They admitted you in ICU for that.”

Grandfather He choked on his saliva and could not say his next words while butler gloated at his situation.

He saw his master pointing his finger at Young Master as he angrily said

“So what? I lied to you. You don’t care about this old man at all. That father of yours and you stinky boy, both of you doesn’t even call to ask if this old man is alive or not. What am I suppose to do?”

Butler Zhang sighed silently. His master has thick skin. When his soft words didn’t work then he was using self-pity and anger to defend himself.

However, seeing no change in Young master’s god-like face, he sympathized. Even his shamelessness was useless.

Grandfather He talked a lot till He Jian interrupted him.

“Just say why did you call me here?”

Grandfather He looked at butler Zhang with a proud look as if he had handled a great disaster by himself. While butler Zhang almost scoffed.

‘Why are you gloating so early, just say a few more words then show me that face of yours.’

Leaning on the pillow comfortably, Grandfather He used the tone of a patriarch of the house and said to his grandson.

“Our small family needs a woman. This old man is getting bored by seeing your father and your’s cold face. Now I want to play with a cute and fat baby.”

There was no change in He Jian’s expression as he asked his grandfather.

“Have you already decided on the girl?”

Grandfather He nodded vigorously and said immediately.

“You don’t need to worry about anything. I have planned everything. You just need to meet her and approve this marriage.”

Nodding slowly, He Jian stood up from the couch.

“Just call me a day before the marriage.”

Grandfather He brows knitted in confusion and he asked his grandson.

“What about the engagement.”

He Jian looked startled for a second and for a moment he looked at the old man with a weird expression on his face.

“You want to get engaged too?”

Grandfather He almost vomited red blood in rage at this question. He roared so loudly that butler Zhang covered his ears in fear that they will get damaged.

“You stinky boy, why would I marry?”

This time He Jian repeated his words very calmly.

“Because according to you, our house needs a woman and you want a cute and fat baby to play with.”

This time Grandfather He fainted from anger. The doctor checked and told butler Zhang that there was nothing to worry about. When the doctor left, He Jian’s cold blue eyes fell on butler Zhang and Butler Zhang consciously stood straight.

“Make boiled food for the old man for a few days. It helps in reducing indigestion.”

Butler Zhang nodded immediately and imagined Old man’s crying face while eating those boiled vegetables while He Jian left the hospital with his assistant.
