363 Beloved Granddaughter (2/2)
The Wu family forced their way through the crowd until they arrived close to the little group. Then they shamelessly introduced themselves to the business legend, disregarding Long Tengfei and Yang Jiahui's disapproving looks.
”Sir Lu, this is my daughter, Wu Qianxi. She's quite a successful interior designer who worked with many celebrities on the international level,” Sir Wu bragged to Grandpa Lu.
Wu Qianxi flashed her sweetest smile. ”Sir Lu, I hear that your granddaughter is present tonight. I can't wait to meet her. I hope we can be friends. I think we'll get along quite well.”
Long Tengfei, Yang Jiahui and Long Hui looked at her as if she was the biggest joke in the planet. This fool wanted to befriend Iris? How laughable!
Until finally…
”There you are, my girl! Where have you been? I want to know! Come here and greet your beloved Grandpa!”
Grandpa Lu's booming voice caught everyone's attention. They followed his line of sight and felt confused when all they saw were Iris and her group. They looked behind the five women, thinking that perhaps the granddaughter was behind them.
Then Iris' expression lit up. A breathtaking smile broke out of her face, blinding the people with her beauty. She hurried, almost running. Her companions followed after her.
”Grandpa Lu! You came!” she exclaimed happily.
”I got bored so I came! Bahahaha!”
She giggled and gave an ”I told you so” look at Long Tengfei.
Long Tengfei and Yang Jiahui chuckled.
Many minds went blank after watching this scene. What did they just witness? Long Xiulan, a.k.a. Iris Long, was Sir Lu Jianhong's granddaughter?
Everyone couldn't process the information inside their brains right away. It was just too unbelievable!
Chen Fei and Long Jinjing looked at Iris as if she just transformed into a unicorn right in front of their eyes. The elders and the other relatives also had similar reactions. It was as if they were seeing Iris for the first time. Behind them, Long Jian wore a serious expression. He looked like he just encountered a new threat.
As for Wu Qianxi and her parents, they paled from utter disbelief. Wu Qianxi, who claimed earlier that she couldn't wait to befriend Sir Lu's granddaughter, wished for the ground to open up and swallow her. How could that useless spoiled brat be the business legend's granddaughter?!
Unbothered by the shocked silence surrounding them, Iris and Grandpa Lu continued to chat with each other. Of course, Long Tengfei and the others who already knew about their connection joined in as well.
”I was planning on dragging your Big Brother Haohao to attend with me tonight but I can't find him! Where in the world is that rascal? I want to know! Does he not know how worried his beloved Grandpa is? I'll smack that dunderhead the next time I see him! Hmph!” Grandpa Lu complained.
”The last time I talked to Big Brother was a week ago. He said that he'd be very busy, so he might be unavailable to be contacted,” Iris explained. ”He also mentioned travelling in several parts of the country for some business. I'm not sure exactly where he is now, though.”
”So he's still in the country? He didn't go abroad? He has been so busy ever since he returned to the country! His body isn't 100% recovered yet. What's he thinking running around? I want to know! What if he breaks his neck again?”
Iris was also worried but she trusted her brother.
Hearing their conversation, the crowd began to regain their senses. They gossiped among themselves. A speculation formed in their minds.
Someone gathered his courage and asked Grandpa Lu directly, ”May we ask if Miss Long's mysterious fiancé is Sir Lu's grandson?”
Because Grandpa Lu also treated Jin Liwei as his own grandson, he immediately replied, ”Yes, of course! What a lucky man that grandson of mine is! I can't wait for the two of them to marry and give me great-grandbabies!”
