Avenger's coming back novel Chapter 175

"Grandpa." Noble looked at Jackson and said, "I know you feel sorry for Aunt. She was bullied by the Gu family, which made you angry. But it's not appropriate for you to stand up for it. It's better for Eric to deal with it by himself. Besides, it's a good opportunity for him to grow up."

Hearing his grandson's words, Jackson softened his attitude. "I was worried that he would suffer losses."

"Grandpa, you think too much. Everyone will suffer losses, but brother Eric won't." In front of Jackson, Sherry called brother Eric again. "Besides, I will definitely help him."

"What can you do for him?" Hearing his granddaughter's words, Jackson looked at her with amusement.

"Don't be so distrustful of your granddaughter." Sherry said, "I can hack into the internal system of the Gu Company, steal all their internal information and hand it over to brother Eric, which is the most advantageous weapon to destroy them."

This was indeed a good way, and also the fastest way to destroy the Gu consortium, but…

"You can do it?" Jackson asked, looking at her in disbelief.

"Grandpa, you look down upon me too much!" Her self-esteem was damaged, and she immediately stood up. "I'm going to the study to show you!"

Then she stood up and walked towards the study.

"Sherry..." "I don't need these at present, and I don't need to deal with the Gu family in this way. I'll ask you for help when I need it." Said Eric.

"Grandpa, see? It's not that I don't want to help. It's just that Eric doesn't need my help now." Raising her eyebrows, she looked at her grandfather and said, "When he needs me, I'll make it for you myself."

"Okay, okay, you can do it. You can do it." Jackson could do nothing to his granddaughter. He liked her and had a headache.

"Hum, of course I can!" After snorting arrogantly for a while, she sat down next to him again. "My father has such a strong gene. As her daughter, how can I not even do this?"

"Ahem..." Geoffrey, who had been silent all the time, coughed unnaturally and looked at Sherry through his thick glasses. "You should keep a low profile, especially at home."

Rolling her eyes helplessly, Sherry said, "You kept a low profile at home. Everyone knows your background."

"I'm just a technical housewife. It's my great fortune to marry a lady like your mother." As he spoke, Geoffrey pushed his glasses up his face, and then turned to look at Jackson. "Of course, thanks to my father-in-law's wise decision, he didn't dislike me, and gave me the opportunity to work in the Sun Company, and married. I will remember this debt of gratitude."

Hearing this, Sherry was speechless to her father. He didn't even blink his eyes when flattering others. She gave him a thumbs up and said, "You win!"

"I'm just telling the truth." Said Geoffrey seriously.

"You are telling the truth." She stressed the word "truth".

"Well, you two living creatures." Jackson interrupted the conversation between the father and the daughter. "I know how capable Geoffrey is. Don't say these words to me all day long."

Every member of the Sun family, including the son-in-law, who were losers? Even tonight, Malcom didn't say anything, but he was great. But this man, Richard, was so disappointing. How could he raise a woman without telling his little daughter? He even had a child!

"I know, Dad." A smile played at the corners of his mouth, but he still looked obedient.

"It's getting late. Go to bed." After saying that, Jackson turned to look at Eric, "If there is anything that can't be solved, just tell me. I will never stand but help you."

"Okay, Grandpa." Eric nodded.

"Well, go and have a rest. You must be tired after a few hours' flight." After saying that, he stood up and said, "I'm tired too. I'm going back to my room. I don't know how long your grandma and others will talk."

On the other side, Geoffrey stood up at once and walked to Jackson to support him. "Dad, let me help you to your room."

As soon as the two of them left, there were fewer people left in the living room. In addition, no one spoke, so it suddenly became quiet.

Unable to bear such an atmosphere, Sherry sat up from the sofa and turned to look at Noble. "Brother, can I sleep with you tonight?"

"Do you think it possible?" He looked up at her calmly.

"No way." Hearing that, Sherry pursed her lips. She was quite conscious, because it was too boring to sleep alone.

Before she got up and went back to her room, she greeted to Malcom politely, "Uncle Malcom, I'm going to bed. Good night."

"Okay." Malcom just nodded.

For this silent man, who could get a response from him, Sherry was already very satisfied. She took a look at Eric, who was looking at his mobile phone, and knew what he was doing without thinking. Without saying goodbye, she turned around and went upstairs.

At this time, Eric had no energy to care about what the people around him were doing. He looked at the phone wholeheartedly, with a happy smile at the corners of his mouth.

It was a photo sent by Lily. The background was colorful, and in front of it was her smiling face. The content was, when could she be with him and enjoy the fireworks together?

Eric almost burst into laughter when he heard this. He didn't know how the girl came up with this kind of words.

Eric didn't like to send messages. He called her directly. When he was waiting for the answer, he found that he was still in the living room, while Malcom and Noble were still there. It was not good to be intimate with Lily in front of them. So he greeted them, stood up and went back to his room.

The phone didn't get through for the first time, and it kept ringing until it stopped naturally. Looking at the phone that was hung up, Eric frowned. When he was about to dial again, Lily called back.

"Hello, girl." Eric answered the phone, "Why didn't you answer the phone just now?"

"I don't listen." Lily's voice came through the phone, mixed with the sound of firecrackers, which was indeed a little noisy. "What? Are you angry?"

"How dare I be angry?" Eric said half jokingly. He walked to the window, opened the curtain and looked at the night view outside.

"The firecrackers were so loud that I didn't notice that my phone was ringing. When I found it, it was hung up. Then I called you immediately." Lily explained in a soft voice, "Forgive me for the sake of apologizing."

Eric knew that it was quite noisy there. After all, the Guan city was a second tier city, and the control of fireworks was not particularly strict. Unlike G City, where firecrackers were not allowed to be set off in the city, they could only be set off to the suburbs.

"Well, for the sake that you admit your mistake voluntarily, I can forgive you, but..." There was a faint smile in his voice. Looking out of the window at the fireworks that almost flashed in the sky, an idea flashed through his mind. "Girl, you have to promise me one condition."

"What condition?"

"Hmm… Call me honey." Eric hesitated for a moment, but still said, with expectation on his face.

As soon as he said this, there was silence. What could be heard on the phone was the sound of firecrackers and the slightly inaudible breath.

Eric knew that his request was a little abrupt, but he had this idea a long time ago. Considering that the two of them were still young, he didn't mention it. But tonight he wanted to say it inexplicably, probably because of the atmosphere.

Waiting for no response, Eric was a little anxious and tentatively called, "Girl?"

There was no response at once. He waited for a long time before he heard Lily's voice, "Yes."

"Did I put you in a dilemma?"

"Eric..." Lily said hesitantly, "Do you know what it means?"

"I know." Eric clenched his phone subconsciously. He could feel the strange emotion of Lily. "But since I chose you, no matter what will happen in the future, the wife column on my household register can only be your name: Lily."

After saying that, there was another silence.

Unable to see, unable to hear, unable to touch, Eric suddenly felt a sense of worry. The fireworks in the distance outside the window were blooming wantonly, which were originally colorful, but now completely lost color in his eyes, leaving only a quiet grey.

When he was about to say something, he heard Lily's voice on the phone.

She said, "Eric, I miss you."

"I miss you too." The fireworks in the distance returned to their original color, and a smile appeared on Eric's face. His hanging heart was also relieved, and he called in a low voice, "Girl..."

"What?"

"When things in G city get better, I will go back to see you."

"You went to G city? Didn't you say when the New Year's day?" Lily asked in surprise.

"Something happened, so I came back early." Eric replied simply.

"What's the matter?" Lily asked subconsciously.

"Nothing serious." He didn't want to say anything, and he didn't want his own business to affect her mood. Then he changed the topic. "What are you doing?"

Closing the window, Eric turned around, walked to the bed and lay down with the clothes. There was no firecrackers on the phone, only Lily's voice, "I'm lying on the bed."

"Guess what I'm doing." Maybe it was a little cold, he pulled the quilt and covered himself.

"Miss me." Lily chuckled on the phone.

Hearing these two words, Eric was stunned, and then burst into laughter. "Girl, you are getting smarter and smarter, and at the same time..."

He didn't finish his sentence on purpose.

"What is it?" Lily asked.

"Shameless." As soon as he finished his words, he added, "But I like it when you are unscrupulous and shameless in front of me."

"Eric, you are so annoying!"

"Well, as long as you like it in your heart, it's okay,"

The phone call lasted for several hours. It was not until midnight that the two of them reluctantly hung up the phone.
