Chapter 115 - Eyes met (1/2)
The attention of all the people was on the four hegemons of the legendary families.
They let their eyes see this rare scene where the Old Master of Guan, Old Master of Xiong, Old Master of Lu and Old Mistress of Tang standing in one place. Together with them.
Such a rare scene. They hoped they would have another chance to see this scene again. Some who took a lot of effort to attend this event were exhilarated that they took this opportunity. Maybe for them, it might be the first and last time they might see the hegemons standing together. But they are proud! Some even rich men died without seeing the four legendary heads in one place. For this rich man who regards the status as their principle, seeing the hegemons was an honor. When tomorrow comes, they would brag to their circles that they were in the event when the four mightiest gathered.
Such an honor!
Old Lu raised an eyebrow to Old Xiong's dramatic entrance.
This old Xiong gave him face by coming here but at the same time, he was acting mightier by coming late.
”There's traffic along the way.” Old Xiong's first words are these. Old Xiong said these out of respect for the two hegemons. He already noticed Old Guan and Old Mistress Tang beside Old Lu.
Xiong Zhi breaks eye contact with Lu Yin Ze and looked at her grandfather.
In reality, they left the Xiong mansion early like everyone else. However, for some reason, her grandfather stopped the car two kilometers away from the Luxury hotel. Seven cars were parked at the side of the road. Just passing time.
They had been like that for more than an hour. It's a good thing Xiong Zhi has long patience as well Linfeng. They just asked the driver what happened and the driver said that according to the guards, Mr. Xiong needs to rest a bit.
It baffled them but they don't ask anymore. The car continued however the driving was so slow that any bicycle would pass them first.
It really puzzled them.
Now hearing her grandfather's answered, Xiong Zhi was perplexed inside.
”Hmmph. I thought you're not gonna come. I might think you're ashamed to face me.” Old Lu said.
”Lion Lu, you are overturning things. It is you who should be ashamed of me.” Old Xiong rebutted.
There seems to be an electric current between the two.
Old Guan sighed as he was brought back to the scene years ago. These two never changed.
”Alright. Alright. The two of you are not the protagonist of this event. Don't take the spotlight.” Old Mistress Tang said as her strong body got between the two.
Old Xiong back off with a smirk. Old Lu backs off as well with a harrumph.
If not for his grandson he would not really ask for Old Xiong's presence in this event.
Old Xiong then turned to ask for the celebrant.
”Let me see this grandson of yours that you're so proud of.”
Lu Yin Ze's eyes and focus were still on Xiong Zhi. Then he felt a nudge on his shoulder that wakes him up from his daze. It was Guan Guri. Guan Guri was pointing at Old Xiong, gesturing him to introduce himself.
Lu Yin Ze calms down his pounding heart and pushed down all wonders of what happened to him at that moment and face Old Xiong.
”It's such an honor to meet you, Master Xiong. Lu Yin Ze is thankful and grateful for your presence.” Then he bowed gracefully.
However, silence met him.
Lu Yin Ze looked up to see Old Xiong's reaction. And when he looked up, Old Xiong was looking at him. However, he felt that the old man was thinking of something, his mind was far away.
The old people were silent as well. They are waiting for Old Xiong's reaction.
Finally, Old Xiong just nod and like others he said,
”You very much look like her. ”
Lu Yin Ze keeps hearing that he looked like his deceased grandmother. Since young, Lu Yin Ze thought he inherits his unique looks from his mother. Since he never meets his grandmother, Priscilla.
But hearing these old Master and Mistress talked, he now knew that his mother inherits her looks from his grandmother.
The Old people continued to bicker with each other while they were walking to their table.
Lu Yin Ze slowly walked to Xiong Zhi. He was so happy that Xiong Zhi attended his birthday. It was a pleasant surprise for him.
”I thought you are not going to attend.” Lu Yin Ze said as he walked side by side with Xiong Zhi.
”I've learned about it yesterday. If Xuantin haven't called me I would not know about it” Xiong Zhi said
This is a big event. It was her friend's birthday. But she just found out yesterday. She almost missed it out.
Lu Yin Ze just chuckled shyly.
