When everyone heard the voice, they turned and saw an old man with white hair walking shakily with the assistance of a maid.
Everyone recognized that this was the highly respected but rarely seen Old Master Su.
Actually, he wasn’t that old. He aged so quickly and looked so feeble because he had experienced so much.
Everyone automatically and respectfully made way for him.
Su Jue hurried over and assisted him personally.
Lu Xinnuan was also very discerning and accompanied him at his side.
Old Master Su, however, shrugged off these two.
He headed straight for Lu Mian with a benevolent smile and announced, “I have personally invited this young girl, Mian. How dare you say such nonsense about her?”
The guests were extremely surprised as they exchanged looks among each other.
Old Master Su had huge influence in Wu City and he was openly protecting this girl who had beaten his grandson.
Lu Xingtang and Lu Xinnuan were puzzled and looked embarrassed.
Elder Su’s words were more like a slap that had landed crisply on their faces.
Elder Su had personally invited Lu Mian to the banquet?
None of them had this kind of treatment. Sometimes, it was even difficult for them to see him. What did Lu Mian do to deserve this?
“Mianmian, walk with me.”
Old Master Su made his way through the crowd and led Lu Mian to the gazebo.
“Dad, don’t go. Everyone is waiting for you!”
“I have things to do. You can eat first!” Old Master Su’s refusal was sharp.
“Grandpa!” Su Jue also shouted. He was depressed from the humiliation. Seeing his own grandfather ignoring his guests for Lu Mian upset him even more.
Lu Xinnuan tugged his arm gently. “Su Jue, don’t be upset with Lu Mian. She didn’t mean…”
Su Jue didn’t agree and he got angrier.
He only went forward to stop her, but she backhanded him and pinned him to the ground! How was that not on purpose?
“Alright everyone, let’s go back to the front garden.”
Su Sheng eyed his son to stop him and to usher the guests back to the front.
