Chapter 245 - Engagement (2/2)

The people who usually visited the main mansion to cook up another scheme was often the hateful father and daughter pair of Xiong De and Xiong Wuyue.

Was it them?

Xiong Zhi thought that perhaps, that pair came here to make trouble for her for what she had done in Wuyue's birthday.

She put down the teacup and stood up. She wanted to see just what kind of play they were cooking up now. She would gladly play with them, at least it could alleviate boredom.

She thanked the maid and went to the central mansion. After asking some attendants where the visitors were, she was surprised to learn that they were invited to her grandfather's office.

However, there were two butlers standing in the doorway. The two stopped her.

”Young Miss, Master Xiong is currently having a private discussion.”

Xiong Zhi's eyebrow moved subtly.

Her grandfather was actually listening to them? Maybe he wanted to test her.

Knowing her grandfather, he would certainly not intervene with the younger's matters. What was more likely, he would even look over it and test her if she was really worthy of her newly acquired title.

Xiong Zhi stepped back graciously. She leaned on the wall and waited for the people inside to come out.

The butlers looked at each other and let her wait. They had received orders to not let anyone come in, especially, the Young Miss.

Inside the room.

Linfeng glanced at his father, then sat down on the chair that Old Xiong had prepared for him. He looked at the other pair inside the office who wore pale faces.

It was early in the afternoon when his father, Zhou Min called him and said that he was summoned to the Master's study room. In fact, Linfeng came early. He planned to visit the East Wing before the appointed time, but his father had probably considered that. The moment he stepped down the car, he saw his father waiting for him by the gate.

He was being watched.

Having no choice, he headed to the central mansion and saw the father and daughter pair.

They, too, had been summoned.

After a while, Xiong Cai was called in first.

Butler Zhou Min looked at his son.

”Why don't you take Young Miss Gaiyu for a walk?” His father's suggestion made the two glance at him in surprise.

Linfeng knew his responsibility that came with his status. He nodded and went to Xiong Gaiyu.

”Would the Young Miss like to take a walk?”

Xiong Gaiyu glanced at Linfeng then to Butler Zhou Min. Taking a walk sounded better than randomly waiting outside the study room, so Xiong Gaiyu accepted the offer.

They walked around in the Central Garden. This garden was the biggest in the Xiong Mansion.

As a butler, Linfeng was a couple of steps behind Xiong Gaiyu.

While walking, his mind ran quickly. Why was he summoned by the master? And why were Xiong Cai and his daughter summoned as well? For sure it was arranged by Master Xiong. Linfeng was more worried why his father suddenly gave him some time alone together with Xiong Gaiyu.

Linfeng threw an indifferent glance at the woman walking in front of him. His mind heavily weighed various thoughts.

...He did not like what his speculation ended up with.
