Chapter 1138: Respect your elders
[ZHU ANCESTRAL HOME]
"Madam." Butler Fu called worriedly, standing behind the rocking chair where Old Madam Zhu had been spending her days. "The Young Master has taken over the minister’s office. Do you want to see his press conference?"
The Old Madam didn’t speak, staring quietly at the flowers blooming in the courtyard. "Those boys... they don’t even bother checking up on their grandmother," she harrumphed quietly. "Until when would they get angry at me?"
"Madam."
"Butler Fu, summon Dominic home," Old Madam Zhu remarked in the same grumpy tone. "This time, tell him it’s a matter of life and death. That kid is getting himself in too much trouble. How could he let his children move places every few months?"
Butler Fu frowned as he gazed at the Old Madam worriedly. He wanted to tell the old madam that Dominic might not pick up a call from the Old Residence at all. After all, Dominic, especially Axel, had been estranged from them since the last anniversary of the Lyon Group during Dominic’s tenure.
Axel made it clear that he didn’t want anything to do with his grandmother and parents. Unless it was not news of their deaths, he said not to bother him. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to see him, even during their funeral. It was quite harsh for the second young master to say, but no one could blame him.
Dominic, on the other hand, might’ve kept contact. However, that was only once in a blue moon. It wasn’t like Dominic had always been in contact with his parents or the old madam in the past. But after that anniversary night, he was even more aloof. Considering he was now a minister, Dominic surely had millions of excuses not to visit.
"Does Dominic think I won’t recognize the person at that inauguration?" Old Madam Zhu mumbled. "I might have been biased, but I know my children and grandkids."
"I’ll try calling them, Madam." Butler Fu lowered his head.
"Tell him I might die soon."
