Having the old man's attention, Yue Ling smiles to him and slightly moves so that the old man could see Lu Tian.
"Yeye, this is Lu Tian. My fiancé."
Grandfather Ji stares at Yue Ling with a surprise look. He acted like this was his first time hearing such news from her, despite she had already dropped the bomb on him.
Of course, he had to act this way, because if the Lu family knew that he already knows, they would be so angry with him for keeping such important secret. Especially Madam Lu. Even if he is an elder to her, she will go on and on without stopping.
Seeing his look, Yue Ling scoffs inside. If she could roll her eyes in front of the many people here, she would have done so.
However, since it is his birthday, she will let him off the hook.
"Ha— Y-You're fiancé?"
Thinking his reaction was not enough, Grandfather Ji decided to be more realistic. He gasps his words and he covers his mouth. His eyes widens more as if the news had shocked him to the core.
"…"
Both granddaughter and grandson stares at the old man with heavy eyes and a dumbfounded expression.
To the right of the old man, Yue Ling felt like her grandfather was exaggerating the news since he already knows about her and Lu Tian.
To the left of the old man, Ji Jingxu felt the same as his sister. The old man had been going on about letting the two people meet, but now that he's heard such news, he would act like it was the biggest surprise in the entire world.
Oblivious to Yue Ling and Ji Jingxu's thoughts, Lu Tian slightly nod his head to the old man.
"Grandfather Ji, pardon my introduction last time at the hospital. If I had known Yue Ling was your granddaughter, I would have properly introduced myself. I hope you can give us your blessings."
Although his reaction was calm, deep down he is just as surprised as everyone else here. Never would he have thought that his wife is the granddaughter of Grandfather Ji.
Thinking of how he introduced his wife to the old man when they encountered at Imperial Military Hospital, he must have looked like fool to them.
Of course, fool or not, he does not care. Knowing that his wife is the old man's family is the greatest thing. Both families are well acquaintances. So, if he has to be a fool, he is willing to as long as he has her by his side.
Grandfather Ji chuckles at Lu Tian's words and wave his hand.
"I am happy to know that you both are together. You have my blessings."
As the discussion escalated with laughter, Ji Chu Hua heaves heavily with tightly clenched fists under the table. The more she stares at Yue Ling, the more her blood began to boil.
She is also a daughter from the Ji family, but why is her luck not as great as the slut.
Thinking this way, she inhales a mouthful of air that caused her body to slightly shake. So what if Yue Ling is the old man's read granddaughter. Sixty percent of those associated with Ji Corps is on her side.
Once the time comes and the old man dies, they will definitely choose her as the CEO.
Satisfy with this thought, Ji Chu Hua felt she has had enough of Yue Ling being the center of attention.
She gently tug on Gu Ting Fei's sleeve and whispers in a pitiful, yet soft voice to him. She already lost her chance with Lu Tian, so as of now, she cannot lose this man either.
"Brother Ting Fei, I… I'm not feeling well, can you take me to rest?"
Gu Ting Fei was currently stealing glances at Yue Ling despite her being Lu Tian's woman. However, when he heard Ji Chu Hua's words, his brows furrow.
Although she spoke in a coquettish voice that can arouse any man, he didn't feel like leaving the celebration. Turning to look at her, he wanted to tell her no, but his eyes caught sight of Grandfather Ji and Ji Shao An looking in his direction.
Both the elder and middle-aged men had heard her ask him.
Glancing at Yue Ling, he sighs in self-pity and reluctantly agrees to go with Ji Chu Hua.
"General Ji, I will have to excuse myself to help Ji Chu Hua take rest."
Seeing that he has agreed, Ji Chu Hua sighs a smile in relief. She looks at Grandfather Ji and gives him an apologetic look.
"Grandfather, I am not feeling too well. I will go rest for a bit if grandfather does not mind. Once my head feels better I will return to see you open your gifts."
Grandfather Ji looks at the young couple, then nod his head, "Mm, you may go."
As the head of the Ji family, he had also watch her grow up to know when she is speaking the truth and when she is lying.
Despite her sickly look, he knows that Ji Chu Hua is faking her sickness because she does not want to be in the same room with someone who gets more attention than her.
However, remembering how Ji Chu Hua was bullying Ji Jingxu, he smiles to her.
"Chu Hua, I do not wish to kill one to warn a hundred."
Just as Ji Chu Hua stood from her seat with the help of Gu Ting Fei, the color of her face pale at the old man's words. Not only her, but everyone nearby who heard also paled with her.
Grandfather Ji's expression was like a caring grandfather, but his words were a warning. Although he had directed those words to her, it was something that refers to everyone else.
She was the first to cross his line when she picked on Ji Jingxu and others were dumb enough to follow along. If he has to, he will not hesitate to punish her as an example to others.
While Ji Chu Hua's legs turn weak, Gu Ting Fei did not notice that the old man's words were directed at her. Others had bad mouth Ji Jingxu, so he thought Grandfather Ji was using this time to warn everyone else.
He was currently stuck in stares at Yue Ling as regret crawls inside him. However, he had already agreed to take Ji Chu Hua.
A long sigh escapes his lips and he faintly smiles to the model.
"It was a pleasure to finally meet Miss Han in person. Regrettably, I must take my leave."
Yue Ling looks at the man. She wanted to bid him farewell, but before she could even part her lips, the hand holding hers tightens with great strength.
Unable to say a word, she force a smile and nod her head to the man. However, under the table, her right foot did not forget to step Lu Tian's left foot with all the strength she has.
Lu Tian showed no reaction at all. His face did not even wince at the pain. It was as if her foot that stomped onto his was a light feather that softly landed his foot.
Seeing her captivating smile, Gu Ting Fei was once again turned into a lovestruck man. If it had not been for Ji Chu Hua pulling him away, he would have probably stood rooted in place for who knows how long.
Yue Ling lightly shook her head at the departing pair.
Since it is known that she is the real granddaughter of her grandfather, she knows that Ji Chu Hua will not sit ideally and let it go.
However, what ever Ji Chu Hua plans to do, whether it be tomorrow, a few days, a month or even a year from now, she will be ready.
To protect her yeye and Ji Jingxu, she will protect them. Even if she has to sell her soul to the devil himself.
As she thought this, the hand gripping onto hers had not loosen one bit.
Turning to look at Lu Tian, she smiles to him and strengthens her grip on his. Her smile was so wide that her eyes turned into upside down cresents.
Feeling her sudden response, Lu Tian looks at her and loosens his grip, but only a little.
Both individual paid no attention to the people around and converse in a nonverbal communication.
However, neither were aware that the man seated on the other side of Lu Tian was in full attention of their interaction.
Lu Han placed both his arms on the table. His right hand held his chin as his left rested under. He stares at the two lovebirds in wonder.
Do they know that there are single people like him still here?
Staring at them, he couldn't help but voice their facial expressions into words in his head.
He change his voice into a girl and pretends to be bashful Yue Ling in his head, 'Stop it. Stop staring at me like that. It's embarrassing.'
Now for his brother, he made sure to deepen his voice as much as he can, 'Don't smile at other men.'
