Chapter 170 Young and handsome (1/2)
———-
As the sun sets and darkness cover the sky. A beautiful Spanish mansion stood its beauty. All the lights outside flicker on and radiates the mansion.
Inside one of the many rooms inside the brightly lit mansion, Old man Ji sat in his study room. Laid across his desk were every piece of information about the almighty and cold king of the business world.
Reaching out his old and wrinkling hand, he grabs a piece of paper. His eyes scan through every word.
”Cough.... cough!”
Old man Ji quickly takes his handkerchief out and cover his mouth. He continued to cough.
”Chairman...”
Standing quietly at the side, Zhang Yong quickly reacted, but was stopped. Old man Ji held one hand up and shook his head at his assistant.
”I'm fine.. cough.”
Zhang Yong's expression turned into sorrow. His friend and boss is sick and there's nothing he can do about it. If he can, he rather be the one sick. Unlike Old man Ji, he doesn't have any children to worry for him. His wife had left him behind ten years ago and now, he is just waiting till it's his time to join her...
Old man Ji took a deep breath as his coughing stopped. Moving the handkerchief away from his mouth, he looks at it.
*knock knock*
”Grandpa?”
Hearing the voice of his grandson, Old man Ji quickly hides the handkerchief. He takes another deep breath to steady himself.
”Come in.”
The door to the study room opens and Jingxu enters the room. His youthful self was almost healed, except for the bandage gauze wrapped on his head, and a cast on his left arm.
Old man Ji looks at his grandson. After he left the Lu Household, Jingxu had called and said he didn't want to stay in the hospital anymore. He had said, he could recover at home. The doctors also did a thorough check on him and said he was stable enough to leave.
Old man Ji sighed inside his old heart. He clench the handkerchief in his hand tightly, then he smiles warmly at his grandson.
”What is it? You're bored so you come to pick a fight with this old me?”
Hearing this, Jingxu pout his lips. He mumble under his breath then walks to the chair across from the old man. He plops down and flung his head back.
”Old man, I'm in great pain and here you are saying I want to pick a fight. No shame at all.”
”In pain? Who was it that called and cried like a baby to leave the hospital?”
”Y-You...”
Jingxu quickly looks at the old man. He pout his lips again. The old man had spoke the truth, however he wasn't crying like a baby. Jingxu sighs and his body sat lazily in the chair.
”What are you doing? Why do you have so many information on people?”
Suddenly thinking of something, Jingxu shot his eyes open and point at the old man.
”D-Don't tell me you're looking for a wife? You're so old already!”
Old man Ji: ”....”
Zhang Yong: ”pfffff..”
Old man Ji looked dumbfounded at Jingxu. For someone who is pain, the boy sure has a lot of energy. However, this is the Jingxu he loves. The boy who always kept his daily living occupied. Old man Ji lightly wave his hand to gesture Zhang Yong.
”Yes, Chairman.”
Zhang Yong moves forward and starts collecting all the pieces of paper on the desk. He moved so fast, Jingxu didn't get a chance to see what were the papers about.
”Zhang Yong, you can leave.”
”Yes, sir.”
