"What is going on? What happened?"
"Why is Miss Ning standing at the main table?"
"Why is Ji Jingxu so angry?"
Ji Jingxu did not care that he had caused a scene. He doesn't care about what others have to say, he's long been used to it since he was adopted into the Ji family.
He only knows that right now, no one can sit in that chair. It is reserved for his sister!
Sitting next to the boy, Zhuang Li looked at his friend with an astonished expression. Ever since he's known Ji Jingxu, he has never once seen the boy rage like this before.
Ji Chu Hua takes a deep breath and tries to sweet talk her way with the boy.
"Jingxu, listen to sister. It's just a chair, let Ning Mei sit down and stop causing a scene more than you already have."
She sounded like a loving older sister who was trying to calm her younger brother down. However, deep down, she was cursing at the boy.
'This sticky bumpkin is doing too much. It's just a chair, why is making it sound like the world is going end!'
Hearing her sweet words, Ji Jingxu's face scrunch with more disgust than ever. His eyes darken and he growls to her.
"You're not my older sister. Don't compare yourself to her!!"
Acting like those words had stabbed her in the heart, Ji Chu Hua's eyes turned moist and she acted like the saddest person in the world.
Seeing her hurt like this, Gu Ting Fei gently sooth her on the back and looks at Ji Jingxu. He sighs then in a calm voice, he part his lip to speak.
"Ji Jingxu, why are you saying that? If Chu Hua isn't your older sister, then who is? Today is your grandfather's birthday, be nice to your older sister."
Feeling Gu Ting Fei's hand on her back, Ji Chu Hua smiles with tearful eyes to the man. Anyone who sees her like this would want to come over and sooth her like how the man is.
"Thank you, brother Ting Fei, but it is fine. Jingxu is young and has always been like this since young."
Although her voice was sweet and forgiving, she made sure it was loud enough so everyone in the ballroom could hear. She wanted to embarrass the boy in return for the humiliation her and her father received earlier.
And just like how she wanted, everyone had heard her words and started whispering to one another.
"This Ji Jingxu is too much. To have Ji Chu Hua as his older sister is already fortunate enough. How can he be so rude to her?"
"He's just an adopted child, how can he treat the nice and gentle Ji Chu Hua this way?"
"Such an unfilial child. I don't know why General Ji adopted him."
Hearing the whispers from everyone in the ballroom, Ji Jingxu was not embarrassed at all.
Instead, what he felt was nothing but more hate towards Ji Chu Hua. He wanted to argue back but he a hand suddenly stops him.
He turn to look at the person and one can see his lower lip tremble ever so lightly.
"Grandfather…"
Grandfather Ji who had been lost in his own thoughts finally came back to his senses. He was so lost in his own thoughts that he did not expect the situation to be this bad when he came to his senses again.
He looks up at the boy and shook his head.
"Jingxu, sit down."
Doing as he is told, Ji Jingxu could only sit back down. However, his eyes did not forget to glare murderously at Ji Chu Hua and Ning Mei. He made sure both people saw the disgust look in his face.
Seeing that Grandfather Ji had calmed Ji Jingxu down, Ning Mei took it as approval to sit down.
However, just as she pulls the chair back, it was suddenly pushed back in.
"..."
Her eyes blink down with a confused look. Thinking it was her mind playing tricks on her, she pulls the chair again.
"This seat is occupied."
Before Ning Mei could touch the chair, a deep voice sounds that surprised everyone at the table.
All the eyes at the main table shifted their gaze to the man who had not spoke a word the entire time. However, his expression remained cold and indifferent as always.
Ning Mei's cheek flush and she bashfully spoke, "Brother Lu, I haven't sat down, so how can the chair already be taken."
She looked like a little high school girl speaking to her crush for the first time. Except, that was only in her head.
Lu Han who changes his girlfriends like he changes his shirts wanted to vomit. For the first time in his life, he has never such a sickening woman before. He hasn't even eaten anything foul and yet he could feel an unsettling sensation in his stomach.
He slightly turn to his mother and rest his forehead on her shoulder. Covering his mouth he coughs.
"*Cough No one cough* here cough* is your brother. *cough"
Lu Tian feign ignorance to his brother's words. Usually, he would not get involve in other's matters, but he found Ji Jingxu's attitude a little odd.
The chair to his left has been vacant ever since he sat down. So when he saw Ji Jingxu arguing like he was protecting the chair with his life, he decided enough was enough.
When Ning Mei pulled the chair out, he had placed his left foot on the front right leg to keep it from being pulled out. Doing so, he was able to push the chair back in place.
He did so because he thought about his wife. If it had been his wife, she would have taken Ji Jingxu's side without a second thought.
Without looking at Ning Mei, his cold voice sounds again.
"If Jingxu said the seat is taken, then it is taken."
"…"
Ning Mei felt like someone had splashed ice cold water over her. She opened and closed her mouth to speak, but she was unable to say anything. She ended up looking like a fish who was on dry land without any water.
Like the rookie model, everyone's jaw dropped to the floor. His words were simple, but it was an understanding that Lu Tian is siding with Ji Jingxu. Not only is he taking the boy's side, it was also a warning.
However, it was the Lu family that was the most shocked. They knew Lu Tian's personality more than anyone and he never once led a helping to anyone he is not close with. Unless that person catches his attention…
Grandfather Ji sighs and decides to put a stop to all the ruckus. It was his fault for being so lost in his own thoughts.
"Miss Ning, as my grandson said, this seat is taken. I apologize and ask you return to your original table."
Ning Mei's jaw dropped even more to the ground. It was already embarrassing enough that everyone's attention was directed this way. Instead of asking her to sit and avoid humiliation, he actually told her to find another seat.
She wanted to say something, but when her eyes glance to Ji Chu Hua, she could only swallow back her words.
Quickly apologizing to them, she lowers her head and returned to her original table.
However, neither she nor anyone else saw the quick flash of darkness in Grandfather Ji's eyes.
The reason his thoughts had drifted so deeply was because he did find Ning Mei's name familiar.
After thorough digging his memories, he finally remembered where he had seen and heard about her.
It was after the fashion show ended. At the time felt it was rather odd because he has seen the way this little girl looked at his granddaughter and it was nothing but pure evil.
He then told Zhong Yang investigate the rookie model and what he found out truly made his blood boil.
Watching Ning Mei's pitiful figure walk away, Grandfather Ji's eyes slightly narrow.
This young girl looks so innocent and pure on the outside, but she is just as evil as her family. She was the one who actually dared to drug his precious granddaughter!
Unforgivable!
