Chapter 129 - 'Xiao Guan, You Stupid Man
"You are right... but... we must not neglect their feelings. If they want to marry each other, I will definitely not hinder them but if they are not willing to tie the knot, we could only accept their decision.
Kids nowadays are very difficult to understand. Do not worry, I will immediately call MinDe and let them come here right now."
Xiao Guan’s face turned green.
This was not what he wanted. His plan was to use Old Chairman Lu’s authority to force Lu MinDe into marrying his daughter.
Xiao Guan was very nervous. His face showed anxiety and he was not able to hide it.
A man like Lu MinDe who had power, money and looks would definitely not choose to marry someone like Xiao Mei. At most, she would only be his plaything. A toy to play for his past time.
’If Old Chairman Lu asks for that arrogant man’s answer and he rejects the marriage, what can I do?
Can I force him to marry my daughter?’
Xiao Guan was very sure that his stupid daughter was a foolish person. As a man, who would want to be with someone as foolish as her? Marriage meant being together with the person for a lifetime.
’I can’t let them come here! What if that arrogant bastard still hates me for trying to force Xiao Mei in marrying Robert??
What if he will tell Old Chairman Lu that I tried to sell my daughter to him? Although I just did that to mock him, the money is still in my hand.
How can I defend my self if he wants to destroy my image in front of Old Chairman Lu?
Xiao Guan started to panic. He did not want Old Chairman Lu to know about their grudge with each other.
"Uhm... Elder, I think---"
"No, do not worry. I will definitely try to convince my grandson."
Old Man Lu stood up and pulled Xiao Guan up.
Xiao Guan could not help but sway a little bit after standing up.
His uneasiness did not escape from Old Man Lu’s eyes.
’Heh heh heh... This is exiting~ I must call MinDe immediately! I can’t wait to see some actions!’
Old Man Lu’s face was twitching very hard. He used a great deal of effort to control himself and stop from grinning widely.
"Someone! Call MinDe!! Tell him I want to talk to him about his relationship with the Xiao Family’s Young Miss!
He must bring Young Miss Mei here too!"
Old Man Lu’s assistant immediately nodded and pulled his phone to call his Second Young Master.
When the assistant left the room, he could not help but roll his eyes.
He pitied Xiao Guan for failing to realize that he was being played by the old man.
’If our Young Masters were as shameless as our Old Master, I bet the company will be destroyed in a blink of an eye.
Luckily, Old Madam’s genes were very strong. Both Young Masters were as serious as her.
Ayeee.. I suddenly miss Old Madam. Only she could stop Old Master from doing shameless things.’
Few Minutes later, MinDe and Xiao Mei arrived at the ancestral house.
The assistant already informed him beforehand about Xiao Guan’s plot.
When Old Man Lu saw both of them, he immediately stood up and walk towards them.
"Are you the Young Miss of Xiao Family? This Old Man is very happy to see you!"
Before MinDe could react, Old Man Lu already hugged Xiao Mei.
Xiao Mei was rendered speechless when she heard his words.
She wanted to say something but Old Man Lu winked at her, as if saying that she should just go with the flow.
Xiao Mei could only swallow the words she wanted to say and nodded slowly.
MinDe never said anything to her. He just informed her that Grandpa Lu wanted to see both of them.
When she saw his father sitting inside the house, everything came to light.
Her father already knew MinDe’s identity. He wanted to establish connection with the Lu Family and use her as the bridge.
’But why is Grandpa Lu acts like he doesn’t know me?’
"My precious daughter! You are here!"
Xiao Guan immediately stood up and grabbed Xiao Mei’s hands.
"Dad.. why are you here?"
Although Xiao Mei already knew the reason why he was there, she pretended to be ignorant.
"Child, I am here to discuss your marriage with Second Young Master MinDe."
Xiao Guan smiled as if he never tried to shove Robert in her life and force her to marry him a while ago.
MinDe did not say anything. He pulled Xiao Mei closer to him and sat on the chair.
Xiao Guan knew that MinDe did not want to pay attention to him but he could only grit his teeth and try to continue sucking up to him.
"Second Young Master--No, Future Son in law, how are you? It has been a while since we saw each other. We will become a family in the near future. I hope you will forgive me for my previous actions."
Old Man Lu snickered.
’Xiao Guan, you stupid man, can’t you see that my grandson does not want to see you? Ayeee.. let’s see if you can continue to be shameless later.’
"Oh? You both know each other?? How? When did you meet?"
Old Man Lu pretended to inquire.
Xiao Guan paled.
Can he say that they met at a restaurant where he forced Xiao Mei to marry Robert?
"W-we... We met at---"
"Why are you here?"
MinDe cut off Xiao Guan’s words.
"Oh? What is wrong?"
Old Man Lu felt excited. His eyes were shining as he look at Xiao Guan’s panicked face.
"Elder, I---"
"You already sold Xiao Mei. Have you forgotten what I said before? After you get the money, you are not allowed to show your face in front of her ever again."
Without blinking an eye, MinDe verbally slapped him in font of Old Chairman Lu.
Xiao Guan saw Old Man Lu knitted his brows. His heart immediately cursed MinDe for being a tattle tale.
"Second Young Master!! Let me explain!!"
