Chapter 206 - Her Hated Day (II) (1/2)

Xiong Zhi accepted the microphone. She was given a script and she rehearsed it before.

She glanced at the first row. She only looked at her grandfather's table. Nothing more.

”I wanted to thank my grandfather for giving me such a wonderful event for my birthday. Thank you, grandpa-ther.” Xiong Zhi hesitated the last word.

According to butler Zhou Min, and to the script, Xiong Zhi was given permission to call Old Xiong, 'grandpa', and she could act more intimate towards him from this day forward. It was to make them closer and to tell the world that she was favored by Master Xiong. But Xiong Zhi couldn't do it.

She could not really call Old Xiong 'grandpa'. She was more comfortable in 'grandfather'.

The people clapped. Old Xiong just raised his hand to receive their clapped. Afterward, it turned silent.

Yeah, there was still more to the script.

Xiong Zhi had no choice but to glance at the other people in the first row.

She saw Master Lu and his butler, Mistress Tang and Tang Xinyan, Master Guan and Guan Xixin.

(A/n: Guan Xixin is the second young master in Guan Family, refer chap 109)

Xiong Zhi was stunned to see an unfamiliar face. She unconsciously stared more at the last person. She thought that the beast would come here. Xiong Zhi closed her lips. It was unexpected. That this day, her hated day was actually turning for the better.

Xiong Zhi looked at them and smiled slightly.

”I thank Master Guan, Master Lu, and Mistress Tang for coming here. I am greatly honored.” The three oldies just waved their hands.

The famous host was about to speak when Xiong Zhi continued to speak.

”I thank my friends for coming here.” Xiong Zhi looked at the second row. She sincerely thanked Song Xuantin, Gu Zhen, and Lu Yin Ze. Then her eyes went to their opposite table. Her smile got wider.

”I thank my Aunt Mei and Uncle Nuen and little Ryu for traveling so far to celebrate this day with me.” Xiong Zhi had realized that she haven't thanked them enough for everything they've done in her last life. They stayed with her even the other relatives started to target her.

”Thank you, everyone, for coming here.” Xiong Zhi then gave the mic to the host. The host was bit stunned as it was not on the script. But there's no big deal even the script changed.

”What a heartwarming message for your lovely visitors. Young Miss Zhi has a beautiful heart-” The host continued to speak more. Xing Zhi then sat on her own couch that was only designated for her.

She followed what they rehearsed before. The presentation of gifts came. As usual, with the presence of the head of each legendary family, the gift-giving was one of the episodes that the visitors looked forward too. Some who got the news of Lu Yin Ze's birthday before were excited to witness the special gifts from the heads.

As usual, the gifts of the heads of the legendary families were really exorbitant. The Tang family gave the same red card as they gave to Lu Yin Ze. Xiong Zhi was truly happy with this gift as she had many plans for it.

Master Guan gave a different gift than before. Since the head of the Guan was closed to the head of the Xiong family, and since Master Guan thought of Xiong Zhi as her future daughter-in-law, he prepared a priceless gift than what he gave to Lu Yin Ze before. He also gave a privilege to Xiong Zhi to become an exclusive member of all the clubs that were owned by the Guan family. Not only that, but was more surprising was the words he said after.

”I gifted one of my grandsons to you. ” The visitors gasped at this. Was that a fiance? Was it the rumored marry-to-the-maiden-family?

This what the Tang family had been doing since they only have heiress not heirs. Were the Xiong family was planning to do it too? If it was, this would be really a huge shocking news. But it was reasonable since there was no heir in the Xiong family. They might really need a man to marry in the Xiong family.

Xiong Zhi's eyes darkened. She looked at Old Xiong if that was really true. Old Xiong received her glare and kick Master Guan's knee.

”What are you doing? That is not considered a gift. That's a freebie.” The two oldies joked at this very serious matter.
