Family Feud

1259 Words
My mother wasn't silent this time. She just hugged me and kissed me on the cheek. "I'm sorry, my child. You are part of the Lessley family, but Mommy and Daddy can't admit you." I felt a rush of blood and asked incredulously, "Why Mom, I'm Your Kid, John Johan..." I almost told her that John Johan had bullied me. Mom apologized to me. "Sorry, Kid." My mother hugged me and cried, "Elena of Montenegro, my daughter, you're coming of age now, and it's time you knew something." "Elena of Montenegro, even though you're still young, you can tell that Grandpa is most likely in charge of the company. If anything happens to him, the Lessley family will be in chaos. Your uncle always wants to take your father's place as the heir, but he's not Grandpa's biological son after all... .. ." The Leila Group was the lifeblood of the Lessley family for generations, and there was no reason to mess up the bloodline when it came to succession. "Back then, when I found out that you were replaced, my heart was dying. Grandpa and dad were just as worried. We O to find you, but we couldn't return you as a daughter." My mother said a scandal was the last thing a big family like ours wanted. Once it was known that the Lessley family was at odds with one another, that there was a risk of a family split, there will be no company willing to risk working with US again. As a werewolf family, we hide in human society, this is not easy. If because of family infighting, disputes, overnight bankruptcy is possible. They wanted me to marry John Johan because of the apparent stability of the Lessley family, so that when we came of age, John Johan and I would still run the family. I don't want to run the family. I don't want to marry John Johan. But my mother looked at me too much hope, my lips moved, and finally just asked her "Mom, do you hate your aunt?" Mother was silent for a moment, she held me tight and said through gritted teeth, i didn't know she had done it, but now I know I can't kill her no matter how much I hate her. She's still a Lessley, and Grandpa won't let us make a big deal out of it. But if she does it to you again, I'll make her regret living." Put the big picture first, that's what my mother told me. I love her, but I don't want to compromise on the marriage: I have to Change Grandpa and mom's mind before John Johan says yes. I swear to myself. Six months later, just when I thought everything was going well, my grandfather called the whole family to the hospital room. I didn't expect John Johan to come back. After six months of absence, John Johan looked much calmer, a little less ostentatious, a little more quiet. John Johan was the first to say hello to Grandpa before coming to talk to Mom and Dad. "Elena of Montenegro, how was your exam?" I thought he would ignore me, but he actually took the initiative to speak up. I looked at him, pursed my lips and nodded slightly. "Fine." His voice was much softer than before, and I was not used to it. “Well, now that we're all here, Mr. Lessley has an announcement to make The lawyer began to read out Grandpa's early will. Grandpa's complexion than a few days ago a lot worse, I turned to look at my aunt one eye, always feel that she is angry. Mother gently squeezed my hand, my mood stabilized. As the lawyer read more and more, I noticed that my uncle's face was getting darker and darker, and my aunt looked very unhappy. Suddenly, the lawyer stopped and Grandpa waved John and me over. "Today is Elena of Montenegro's birthday. Both of you are adults now. Grandpa wants to decide on your marriage in advance. Once you graduate from university, you can go and collect the marriage certificate. The Lessley family will be handed over to you one day." I was in a daze, watching my grandfather put my hands on John Johan's. He had never given up the idea, and when I was almost an adult, he announced the marriage. I don't agree. I want to shout it out. But John Johan suddenly squeezed my hand, "Don't worry, Grandpa. I Won't let Elena of Montenegro down." I looked at him and he winked at me. Eyes I even understand: he seems to let me first promised down, first take good care of Grandpa's mood. The Doctor said Grandpa didn't have much time left and everything had to go his way. But this is also my life, if I obey, really marry John Johan, we will not be happy. Before I could say anything, John Johan made an excuse and pulled me out. "Elena of Montenegro, I'm sorry about before, but Grandpa is old, and I want you to cooperate with me and not make him feel bad." I looked into his blue eyes and said, "John Johan, you don't like me. If only to be the heir, there is no need to do so. Grandpa and mom and Dad are working hard to cultivate you. If you work hard for the Lessley family, no one will take your place." Of course, if he wanted to harm the Lessley family, as the true heir, I had every reason to stop him. Grandpa asked someone to call us back. He asked me if I had a problem with John Johan, and if I didn't, he would set up an inspection for John Johan and let us get married after that. I looked into his expectant eyes, knowing that now in front of everyone to refuse grandpa, he would really sad. After a moment's hesitation, I took Grandpa's hand and said, “Grandpa, I'll listen to you.” With My permission, he had his lawyer draw up the papers and announced that when John Johan and I got married, we would take care of the family business, and our parents would tutor us. It is the rule of the Lessley family that when the heir comes of age, the old man in power makes way for the heir. Uncle and aunts angry about this, although not directly called Grandpa unfair, but I from their angry eyes also saw their resentment and jealousy. But with the Lessley family on this side, they can't make a scene. Mom and Dad took John Johan Away, the lawyers and the staff were evacuated, and it was just me and Grandpa in the house. Grandpa saw my forced smile. He handed me a folder and told me everything about my aunt. “Don't go easy on John Johan if you really don't like him.” I nodded and agreed to go to the same college as John Johan at my grandfather's arrangement. Before leaving, grandpa said, “Lessley's blood can not be messed up, John Johan Youth you to keep an eye on him in the future, after all, he is kind-hearted in nature, you will have a long life in the future, need to break in hope that you work well together.” I recognized Grandpa's meaning. He still has hope for John Johan. At this time even if I have too many words also can not say, walk a step to see first.
