Chapter 378 top of a mountain (1/2)
Through the doors of Ji Mansion's grand ballroom, a family of four made their entrance inside.
No one noticed their arrival until everyone saw Grandfather Ji and Ji Jingxu stood from their seats. Both the young and old man made their way towards this family.
Seeing who it was, everyone was in more of a surprise than when the second Ji family came in.
”It's the Lu family.”
”I heard General Ji is an old friend of the Lu family.”
Leading the family in, Old Lu wore a black tuxedo making him look younger than his age of fifty. To his right, Madam Lu held onto his arm as her pace matched with his.
She wore a tradition white qipao that reached her above ankles. Her hair was styles in a low bun with loose strands of hair that framed her face. Although she has reached the age of fifty, she still looked as young as when she was in her late twenties.
Following behind were none other than their two sons, Lu Tian and Lu Han.
Lu Tian wore a black tuxedo, with a white dress shirt and a black waistcoat. His hair was neatly slit back giving him a rather refine and sharp look. However, his dark eyes and cold aura made others shiver and unable to look him in the eye.
Unlike his older brother, Lu Han was the complete opposite. He held a smile to each person he passes by like he was celebrity. He wore a light grey tuxedo, with the same inner wear as his older brother and father. The sides of his head was faded up as the longer hair on top of his head combs to one side.
Meeting the family of four in the center of the room, Grandfather Ji was extremely happy.
”I see that you all made it today.”
Old Lu politely bows then smiles to the old man he considers a father figure to him.
”Uncle Ji, thank you for inviting us to your home.”
Madam Lu leaves her husband's side and walks over to Grandfather Ji. She held his arm and smiles to him.
”I wish uncle the best of all birthdays. May you live a long and healthy life.”
To some people, they would find Madam Lu's sudden move to be impolite, but not Grandfather Ji. He has watched both Madam Lu and Old Lu grow along side his daughter and son-in-law. If she had been too formal with him like everyone else, he would have found it weird.
After all, Madam Lu was like a daughter to him.
Lu Tian took a step closer to the old man and leans forward in a polite bow too. However, he does not say a word as he looks at Ji Jingxu with a silent nod.
Watching the man his grandfather wants to pair his sister with, Ji Jingxu nod his head in greeting, but his eyes slightly narrow. He will use this chance to see if Lu Tian is a good match for Yue Ling.
”Happy birthday Grandfather Ji!”
Lu Han's energetic voice calls out to greet the old man as he also gesture a bow. He was not like his older brother, who finds it so hard to wish someone a happy birthday.
To which, Grandfather Ji laughs at Lu Han's free spirit personality. He wasn't bothered by Lu Tian's lack of socializing either. He knows the two boys like they were his own.
If Lu Tian had wished him a good birthday, he would have thought the world was coming to an end.
