Chapter 207 - Priceless Gifts (1/2)
Guan Xixin stared at his grandfather with wide eyes. Guan Xixin was the most favored one among the three grandsons of Master Guan. And there was a reason for that, he had brains and talent to bring the Guan Empire to a greater future. However, Guan Xixin doesn't have any desire to lead the empire. He wanted his older brother, the hard-working Guan Guri to lead the empire while he was supporting at the back. For the third one, Guan Gao Huan, Guan Xixin was full of suspicious of him.
But now his brain that he was proud of had turned blank for a moment.
He knew how his grandfather was closed to the head of the Xiong family, but he was shocked that his grandfather actually allowed another person outside of the Guan family to owned even one percent of the Guan Empire! Not only that, it was a Xiong! A Xiong who could afford any amount that was thrown into them.
Buying a share..was really possible for a Xiong!
What was his grandfather was planning?!
Guan Xixin's mind calculated all the pros and cons. But all of them turned into benefits for the Xiong Empire. The Guan empire would only receive a small benefits for a greater cause.
'Then maybe?'
Guan Xixin knew that his grandfather was experienced. He would not give that shares easily.
The Guan family was called a snake for some reason.
Guan Xixin calmed down himself. He then turned to Xiong Zhi.
Who was she that his grandfather put so much hope into her? She just debuts today but the road that the elder gave her was so wide and long. She could reach any ground with just the gifts of the elders that were given to her.
Xiong Zhi woke up from her daze. She thanked Old Guan.
”Thank You, Godfather. I am very honored to receive such priceless gifts.”
Xiong Zhi also felt that there was something more on that gift. But no matter what, as the conditions were not yet stated on how she would buy the shares, she would take this opportunity. She would collect many cards as much as she can for the big play that was about to come.
The elders at the side also looked dubiously to Master Guan. They have their own speculations in their mind.
Master Lu tsked. Mistress Tang just sighed. And Old Xiong just smiled meaningfully.
After the Guan presented their gifts, Master Lu came forward.
”Lu Yin Ze, come here.” Master Lu called Lu Yin Ze first. Lu Yin Ze walked to the front.
”My future daughter in law, I gifted my grandson to you, freely.”
Gasped. It was the gasped of the audience. But the loudest gasped came from Lu Yin Ze.
”Grandpa!” Lu Yin Ze turned red. Was he called here in the front to be embarrassed?
Mistress Tang sighed and commented.
”If I had two grandsons, I would also offer one and joined the competition. We would surely win for sure.” Mistress Tang sighed in disappointment. Tang Xinyang just glanced at her grandmother and smiled awkwardly to Xiong Zhi.
Xiong Zhi went speechless again. What's with everyone today? Why everyone seemed to want to give their grandson to her?
”I am not joking. Yin Ze, are you willing to slave under her? I have done that with your grandmother. I won her love then.”
The three elders just rolled their eyes.
Xiong Zhi looked at her grandfather to ask for help.
Her grandfather received her stare and understood it.
”You are making my granddaughter disgusted! Just present your gift!”
”I am presenting my gift now!” Then Master Lu turned serious.
”That snake just copied me. My first gift is to be your godfather.”
The visitors looked at Xiong Zhi with envy. Two mighty godfathers. No, that makes three with Old Xiong.
Having a godfather from the legendary family was the greatest luck that one could achieve in one's lifetime.
Having a godfather meant that she could use their name, their reputation, fame, and their authority whenever she wanted.
In short, Xiong Zhi was not just a person with the title of the heiress of the Xiong Empire, but she was also a favored person of the Guan family and the Lu family. Who could turn against her? She held immense authority now. Xiong Zhi looked at the elders with a deep gaze. No one knows what those eyes were thinking.
”My second gift is my grandson, you have my blessings to marry him.” Lu Yin Ze's red face avoided Xiong Zhi's eyes. He was really embarrassed.
”And my third gift is this.” Master Lu handed a cardholder. There was a black card within.
Xiong Zhi accepted it. She knew what this black card meant. It was the access card not only for Luxury hotel but every hotel in the Lu Empire.
The Lu was known as the biggest Empire who owned so much land. The Lu family owned more land among the three legendary families. And the land was a very precious asset that increased its value over time. That's where the Lu's empire get their resources. Hotels was their second-biggest assets. The Lu empire was the king of hotels. So having this black card was really a luxury that only the main family of Lu's could get.
