Chapter 72 - You cant refuse it. (2/2)
”Mrs.Wu, is this how you are fulfilling your promise. This is how you are taking her care”, Elder Li rebuked with fiery eyes.
”Sorry, Elder. It's my m-mistake”, a shiver passed Mother Wu's spine.
Lifen felt bad, because of her , her mother has to face her grandfather's wrath. She has to calm down his grandfather. She took long steady steps towards her grandfather and gently clung to his arm, ”Grandpa, It's my mistake. There is nothing to with mother. This is the first time, I was out for this late. And I swear this will be the last time too”. She blinked her eyes to make a puppy face infront of him.
It has always worked for her in the past. This time, it also worked as elder's wrathful eyes were softening. He has dearly loved his granddaughter, it's was not because she was his own blood but because of her soft heart and concern for everyone. She has always worked hard to fulfill all his wishes and always being a filial granddaughter.
He gently patted on her hand that was wrapped around his arm, ”Okay, Okay don't make that face now. I am no more angry on you but make sure it doesn't repeat in the future”.
Lifen hummed in the approval. Mother Wu smiled looking the duo. She has always known her to be a sweet talker, ”Elder, I will get you something. Please excuse me”. Saying this Mother Wu left in the direction of the kitchen.
”Grandpa, what brings you here at this hour. Is there something important?”, Lifen asked.
”Why? can't I come to see you?” he raised his brow slightly.
”Ofcourse grandpa, you can come whenever you want. But you should consider your health too. You have to take rest properly”, she said in a slight stern voice.
Elder Li, feebly hummed in response, ”I have come to inform you something and you can't refuse it”.
Lifen tilted her head to catch the expression on her grandfather's face but she didn't catch anything. Getting her questioning eyes, Elder Li simply responded, ”It's for your bright future and for the future of Li Corporation and you can't refuse. I never refused your wishes, so please you should too consider this”.
After saying this, he signaled Huang Fei.
Huang Fei pulled out few papers from his working bag and handed it respectfully to the Elder.
”Here have a look”, Elder Li passed the papers in the hands of Lifen.
Lifen looked at the papers. As she was flipping the papers, her eyes were getting widened and with the last page her expression sank down.
She lifted her head to look at her grandfather who was looking at her with an expectations. Here she lost, lost to to her grandfather. She nodded giving her approval, ”How many months are there in my hands to enjoy my life with this family, grandpa”.
