Chapter 173 - 172 The World Is So Small
"Grandpa Chen, what are you doing here, and where’s my mom? Why haven’t I seen her?" Qiaoqiao spotted the elder and bounced over to ask.
The old man grinned and gently patted Qiaoqiao’s head, saying, "The lady is upstairs in the reception hall waiting for Mr. Lu, and I’m here to welcome Mr. Lu upstairs."
"Then what about me? I want to go up with Uncle too," Qiaoqiao said, shaking her head.
"Miss, that won’t do. The lady just said she wants to see Mr. Lu alone. Miss, why don’t you wait in the living room for a while?" The old man still spoke with a smile, his face showing no trace of worldly troubles.
If it weren’t for recognizing the elder’s strength, Lu Tianxing would never believe that the elderly man before him was a potent figure who even the nation feared, rather than a kind and friendly grandpa.
"Hmph, I knew Mom wouldn’t let me go over, Grandpa Chen you relay a message for me. If she dares to make things difficult for Uncle, hmph, I’ll ignore her forever."
Qiaoqiao pouted in dissatisfaction, gave a cold snort, and instructed Lu Tianxing, "Uncle, you go on up with Grandpa Chen first. I’ll wait for you outside. Don’t you sneak away, I’m planning to invite you for a meal today to thank you for saving my life. When I, Qiaoqiao, say something, I mean it. So, you better keep your word to treat me to a meal next time."
"No problem."
Lu Tianxing smiled and nodded. He didn’t refuse Qiaoqiao’s suggestion, which was as quirky and clever as Mandala’s, only without Mandala’s penchant for playing tricks on people.
