"Grandpa? What are you doing here?" Ning got up and rushed towards him.

Patting her back, Grandpa Yang said, "I am glad that I am here right on time." ​​

"What do you mean?" Ning asked.

"I mean before your meeting starts with Mr—" Looking at Weilong, Grandpa Yang narrowed his eyes. "With Mr Weilong."

Before Ning could say anything, he added, "I heard that you are doing a project with him which involves Valique so I rushed over to see if I can help."

"Of course grandpa but I don't want you to stress over it okay? Your health is more important than any project." The sudden appearance of Grandpa Yang early in the morning was very rare and also very suspicious. After he had retired, he never really voluntarily involved himself in office matters. It was Ning who sometimes forced him to attend a few important meetings as he was the chairman of the company.

"Of course honey, now why don't you go to my office and get my blue file?" He asked, he wanted to send Ning away because he needed to clear a few out with his elder son.

Though she was a hundred percent sure that he was trying to send her away, she still obediently nodded her head and left.

A few minutes after Ning left, Grandpa Yang glared at Weilong. "How dare you approach my granddaughter again?"

Balling his hand into a fist, Weilong gritted his teeth, "You lied to me." slamming his hand on the desk, he yelled, "You have been lying to me for twenty-seven years father, why did you do that?"

"I did what was right and you have no right to question my decisions, you have no right to involve yourself in my family matters—"

Cutting him off, Weilong snapped, "Ning is my daughter's father, don't forget that."

"The moment you left her, she is no more your daughter. She is only my granddaughter now, stop trying to pretend that you care for her."

Grandpa Yang's words pierced Weilongs heart. "You know I was helpless and I had no other choice father, how can you say that I don't care? She is a part of me no matter whether you want to accept it or not."

Pausing for a while, he added, "Do you have any idea how shattered I felt when I had to give her away? There were times when I wanted to hold her and give her all the love she deserved but I couldn't. Do you even know I feel when she calls someone else her father? But I still endured everything because I knew that she was in safe hands, she was with you but who would've thought that you had been lying to me."

Pursing his lips, grandpa Yang snapped, "It was your decision to let go Ning and now you have no right to question my upbringing. Yes, I agree that things weren't very favourable for a few years but I acted quickly and brought her with me. More than you, I regret leaving her alone with them but again, it was your idea to let Luzin and his wife raise her."

Keeping quiet for quite some time, he added, "But everything is okay now, Ning is happily married to a perfect man who will never abandon her no matter what."

"Why didn't you tell me the truth? Why didn't you tell me that Luzin had been–" closing his eyes, Weilong took a deep breath to calm himself down. The more he thought about it, the strong urge to kill his younger brother kept getting stronger and stronger.

"I was very busy handling everything all by myself after you decided to abandon your family and your responsibilities. You knew that I was counting on you to take our legacy forward, I wanted you to take care of everything but you betrayed me. I had to shoulder all the responsibilities on your behalf for so many years. I have been handling everything perfectly for so many years and I am still shouldering everything all by myself. Neither Ning nor I need you or anyone associated with you."

After handling everything all by himself for so many years, Grandpa Yang was used to not having anyone by his side. Though things were very hard at times, he still pulled himself up and tackled it accordingly. Things only became very convenient after Ning decided to shoulder all the responsibilities for him.

Keeping quiet for quite some time, Weilong said, "You know why I had to leave everything dad, you know it very well."

"I don't and I don't wanna know either. I just know that you left me when this old father of yours needed you the most. You knew that I would never trust Luzin with the company but you still left me alone," Grandpa Yang yelled, all the pain and anger that he had been hiding in his heart for years was clearly reflected in his words.

"Yes, I know that I acted very selfishly but didn't you do the same thing in the past? When you were given a choice, didn't you choose mom over everything?" When Grandpa Yang did not say anything, Weilong added, "Who better than you will understand how it feels when you are forced to take a tough decision? How can you expect me not to choose the woman I love over everything when you did the exact same thing? I am after all your son, your flesh and blood."

Balling his hand into a fist, grandpa Yang snapped, "Don't you dare try to act smart Yang Weilong, this nowhere justifies your acts. I never abandoned anyone of my kids, so you and I are not the same. Stay away from my family matters, especially Ning. You are free you thrash that stupid brother of yours as much as you want to but stay away from my granddaughter."

"Things are very vulnerable right now and it's best if I stay near Ning—"

Cutting him off, Grandpa Yang snarled, "No one can even touch a single hair in my granddaughters body until I am alive. And even if I die, I have already made sure that she always stays in safe hands."
