151 IMPOSSIBLE TO CORNER HER (2/2)

”Nice to meet you, grandfather.” She said with a genuine toothy grin, very much unlike the polite smiles she gave earlier.

The old man nodded with a happy tint in his eyes. It seemed that he had misjudged his grandson. He, at least, had the decency to choose a woman and declare it openly and proudly. Still, this girl seemed unlike what he would expect from the brat's girlfriend.

”This is some good stuff.” He placed the box beside him. ”I shall receive it because some people might end up wasting it.”

The sideways glance he cast towards his son and his wife was a little sardonic. The gaze and the sharp words made the two feel awkward. They had lost some face before the younger generation. However, what could they say? They still did not understand clearly what was in the package.

”It's nothing much.” Hu Lei responded modestly. After all, she did not spend even a cent.

Chu Ling felt that the evening was spiralling out of control. She had invited Song Lili because she felt that the girl was accomplished, had good character and could match up to Zhong Feng. Moreover, she had known that the elder was coming back for a short visit. Therefore, it was the perfect opportunity for the Lili to show off her good character.

If the elder had a good impression of Song Lili, there would be a greater chance of creating a real connection between the two kids. Who knew that Feng'er would come back with the girl without warning? Now, it was obvious that things would not go smoothly.

Chu Ling looked meaningfully at Song Lili. The girl immediately got the hint. When the couple returned to their seats, she also came to the elder and bowed appropriately.

”Grandfather, I am Song Lili. Zhong Feng is my childhood friend.” She spoke with elegance.

Elder Zhong was not a good tempered person. Otherwise, he would not have been able to further the business left by his father, and cause it to expand exponentially. Also, he had a keener intuition when it came to people. In addition, he could be as difficult and unreasonable like any other old man.

Unlike his son and daughter-in-law, he would see beyond the surface. He could definitely tell that Song Lili was a fox with numerous hidden tails. He would hire this type of person for business. However, you could never trust someone like this in the family.

”How am I your grandfather?” He asked, folding his hands over his chest with sudden dissatisfaction.

Chu Ling wanted to intervene because she knew that her father-in-law could be difficult when he wanted to be. He could make one cry tears of bitterness without raising his voice. Moreover, there never seemed to be a pattern to his mood swings. However, Zhong Tian placed his hand over hers and prevented her from talking carelessly.

”I apologise for offending you, Elder Zhong. I have just returned from abroad and have forgotten my manners.” Song Lili apologised sincerely and did not show a trace of awkwardness.

Hu Lei wanted to stand up and applaud the woman. If she had her skills, she would not need to use her fists so often like a crude man. Song Lili seemed to have thought about numerous endings in her head during interactions and planned for each. It was impossible to corner her.

Elder Zhong huffed and waved her away. As he had expected, she was a dangerous fox. He could not help worrying about his grandson's girlfriend. The girl was not only short and cute; she also seemed like a little rabbit.

How could she defend against this type of woman with nine tails and one thousand stratagems?
