Xi Zihao tapped his cane to the floor impatiently. He had waited almost ten minutes since his grandson had promised to meet him in the director's office, but the brat did not appear.
His secretary reported that Xi Jian's assistant wanted to meet him. Bai Xu felt uncomfortable, he sat nervously. Xi Jian's grandfather made this appointment a week ago. Since King Empire was given to Xi Jian by him, Xi Jian's schedule had always been tight. He rarely went home. Even if they were at the same office and only one floor apart, it's very difficult to meet him.
"Insolent child. How dare he ask this old man to wait for him longer!" He stood up and pointed his stick at Bai Xu. "You! Hurry and escort me to him! That brat must be hit with this stick to realize who he is dealing with!"
Bai Xu stood hurriedly, following the Director of King Empire who had already left the room. His secretary trailed behind, staring at Bai Xu with a question mark? Bai Xu just smiled politely.
Qiao Yinyi, another secretary of Xi Jian's stood when she saw her supervisor lead Mr. Xi and his secretary approached Xi Jian's room.
"Mr. Xi Jian had a guest inside his room." she said half loud, half shout, because they didn't stop and just strode in.
Bai Xu intended to knock on the door but Xi Zihao beat him first. "Open the door now!" with very slow movements he turned the knob, hoping that Xi Jian would not scold him for pushing in.
and the three of them heard a clear and upset voice that said :
"...we really did it and made me pregnant!"
Xi Zihao dropped his cane. In the middle of the room, there was a woman standing with her back facing him. The old man cleared his throat. He sounded bashful and awkward, "Will I have a great-grandson soon?" he asked.
Xi Zihao watched carefully the young woman when she turned her body. Her hair was straight up to her waist, even though it looked a bit disheveled, which only God knew why, Xi Zihao thought that the woman was not bad. Wrong. That young woman was somehow looked beautiful. Xi Zihao could imagine what his soon great-grandchildren would look like. His feelings turned happy, he immediately forgot that he wanted to scold his grandson. Bai Xu who came to his senses immediately fetched Xi Zihao's cane.
"Sorry Mr. Xi, the president can't wait to se--" "Shut up!" Xi Zihao smacked his cane to Bai Xu's thigh. Bai Xu had a smile on his face, still a grimace betrayed it. "Get out young man. I had a business here!" Xi Zihao casted him out.
Bai Xu did not move. He waited for Xi Jian's instructions. The poor asisstant left the place after Xi Jian nodded slightly. Xi Zihao ordered his secretary to wait outside too.
Xi Jian's anger diminished a little when his grandfather came. But not completely gone. The silver pen in his hand was still firmly gripped. Ling Yue looked uncomfortable. Her emotions was't stable yet. She held her handbag and headed for the door. They could discuss the matter later.
"Where are you going, young lady?" Xi Zihao asked when saw the latter decided to retreat. "Sit down please. Tell me about what you talked before I came."
His voice contained a command that reminded Ling Yue of her grandfather. She smiled awkwardly. "I'm sorry Mr..."
"I'm Xi Zihao. This brat's grandfather. What's your name?" he instructed her to sit.
Ling Yue hesitated. She glanced at Xi Jian but he was not even looking at her.
"My name is Ling Yue. I'm a lawyer from DuChen Law Firm and here for some legal issued." She answered politely. "I will talk to your company's lawyer later, I'll excuse my--"
"You are from that Ling family? What's your relationship with Ling Yujin?" His curiousity leveled up.
"He is my grandfather." She replied respectfully.
"Whaaat?" Xi Zihao who was originally sitting immediately jumped. "It was you?!"
Xi Jian peered at his grandfather's strange behaviour. He was sure nobody knew about that incident, because Xi Jian ordered all people who involved to keep their mouths shut.
Xi Zihao coughed, aware of his over reaction. He sat down again. "Please sit, child. This rascal will deal whatever your demand. If you want a marriage, I'll grant it, even if I have to drag him to the altar."
Ling Yue : "..."
Xi Jian : "..."
