552 Grandpa Lu Wants to Know! (1/2)

Lu Zihao straightened to his full height and walked using his long legs to reach Long Jinjing's side in just a few steps.

”Let's go, CFO Long. Don't keep my sister waiting.”

Long Jinjing pursed her lips, annoyed that the man kept on calling her sister as his sister. But no matter how annoyed she felt, she decided not to say anything. She could sense that the man was vastly different from the straightforward Iris and Sir Lu Jianhong. Lu Zihao was a man whose real depth couldn't be measured based on his outward devil-may-care persona. She would only lose badly if she decided to pit herself against someone as enigmatic as him.

So she ignored him—or tried to. All of her senses were focused on his presence. She started walking ahead of him, but in just a moment, their positions were reversed. His legs were longer than hers. Now he was walking in front of her while she struggled to keep up with him.

Then she noticed something peculiar. He could've already left her behind. However, he was deliberately slowing his pace.

Was the man waiting for her?

”Mr. Lu, there's no need to wait for me. I can find my own way,” she told him.

”Like I told you earlier, a woman shouldn't walk alone in a dark and empty place like this,” he replied without looking back at her. ”It would greatly inconvenience my sister if something were to happen to you. Even she wouldn't be able to quickly find a person to replace you as the CFO on such short notice.”

The corners of her mouth turned down. Here she was thinking that the man was finally acting like a gentleman to her, but it turned out that he was just doing it because he wanted to rub his close relationship with HER sister, Iris, to her face.

Later, they returned to the noisy, lively and cheerful grand hall together. Their arrival wasn't noticed by most of the people but it didn't escape a certain old man's sharp hawk eyes.

The two went their separate ways. Long Jinjing headed to where her sister, friends and colleagues were discussing the Orchidia Beauty products with the enthusiastic beauty influencers who attended tonight's grand launch. Lu Zihao returned to his spot beside Grandpa Lu.

”There you are, Haohao my boy! Where have you been? I want to know! Your beloved grandpa had been so bored waiting and waiting for you! I almost fell asleep!”

”Sorry, Grandpa,” Lu Zihao murmured, picking a spring roll from the old man's plate on the table and tossing it into his mouth. ”I had to go out for a bit to listen to my subordinate's report.”

”Well? What's the report?! I want to know!!!”

Lu Zihao told him about the trespassers his subordinates and Jin Liwei's men blocked from slipping inside the party.

Grandpa Lu nodded hearing what happened.

”Good job on raising such disciplined subordinates, my boy! Your beloved grandpa is so proud of you! Bahahaha!”

Then the old man ”patted” his grandson's back. The loud thuds sounded disturbing, like some of Lu Zihao's internal organs might explode from the force.

The surrounding guests looked alarmed and concerned for Lu Zihao. However, when they looked at him, he just continued swiping food from his grandfather's plate and eating like everything was normal. Seeing his bulky body under his tailored tuxedo suit, the onlookers could only conclude that his muscles were so big and hard that he had become impervious to regular pain. After being assured that he would be okay, they stopped paying attention to the grandfather and grandson.

”By the way, my boy! Your beloved grandpa saw that you returned with Xiulan's sister. So tell this old man right now! Is she your type? Is she? She is, right? I want to know!!!”

Annoyance flashed in Lu Zihao's eyes. He didn't bother replying to the old man—what a hassle. He continued eating instead, taking Grandpa Lu's plate for himself.

”Why are you not saying anything? Are you feeling shy? Bahahaha! So you rascal still know how to be shy, eh? Bahahaha! Just so you know, your beloved grandpa likes that girl! A little on the quiet side—too quiet for this old man's taste. Too nice, too. Not like your Little Sister Xiulan who has a sharp, ruthless and merciless tongue beneath that heavenly face. But that Jengjeng girl is—”

Lu Zihao scowled, muttering, ”Her name is Jinjing. Long Jinjing.”

Grandpa Lu hid a mischievous smile under his perfectly groomed mustache. His sharp eyes had been closely watching his grandson's expression.

It was regrettable that Iris couldn't be an official member of his Lu family by becoming his granddaughter-in-law via marriage to his flesh and blood grandson, Lu Zihao. However, Grandpa Lu was still pleased that his other grandson, Jin Liwei, was going to marry the girl.

What pleased Grandpa Lu even more was seeing the unbelievable closeness between Lu Zihao and Iris. There wasn't anything romantic or sexual about their closeness. It was purely a sibling relationship—a very close one at that, even closer than most real flesh and blood siblings.

In fact, Grandpa Lu was quite taken aback at first upon observing with his own eyes how close the two were. They were like the ideal siblings by how they treated each other. He had never seen his grandson so protective, gentle and loving of a young female to this degree before without seducing said girl. There were also many times that Lu Zihao looked like he wanted to punch his Third Brother in the face because Jin Liwei was acting too perverted—cough cough—”touchy-feely” with Iris.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Although Iris' name couldn't be entered in the Lu family registry, Grandpa Lu was still happy about her close sibling bond with his beloved grandson, Lu Zihao. But ever since her entrance to their lives, she had become the old man's ideal granddaughter. In this aspect, Jin Liwei succeeded in being decisive and taking Iris to be his future wife before other men could have a chance to pursue her. Grandpa Lu couldn't wait for his beloved grandson, Lu Zihao, to find a wonderful woman like Iris to marry and give him cute great-grandbabies.
