Security had to drag the hysterical Rose Young from the meeting room. Jin Liwei left everything to Xu Tian before heading to his top-floor office with Grandpa Lu. The board members also left with many of them worrying about their own futures in the company.
In his office, Jin Liwei had to put aside the matter about his AI son stealing something from his wife for now. He poured hot tea for Grandpa Lu himself because it would probably take Xu Tian some time to take care of Rose Young’s messy situation downstairs. There were still some paparazzi camping outside the company as a result of his front-cover wedding announcement with his wife on À la Mode magazine just this past Monday.
“That was quite fun, I must say. Don’t you agree that it was fun? I want to know! Bahahaha!” Grandpa Lu slapped his thigh as his uproarious laughter filled the office.
Jin Liwei was calm as he took a sip of tea. “I didn’t find it fun. I thought that it was a bother.”
“Bah! You’re too boring, my boy! Careful that Xiulan my girl would get tired of you.”
“Am I…boring?” Jin Liwei couldn’t help but ask, a flash of worry in his eyes.
“Bahahaha! I was just joking, my boy! Why are you always so serious? I want to know!”
Jin Liwei sighed, relieved that it was just a joke but also a little miffed at how affected he felt by it.
There was a twinkle in Grandpa Lu’s eyes as he also sipped tea. “Don’t worry, my boy. Xiulan my girl already chose you to be her husband. A strong-minded woman like her won’t change her mind so easily once she makes a choice. This old man can see very clearly that she loves you and will continue to love you as long as you treat her right and continue loving and treasuring her like what you’re doing right now even if you do end up becoming boring in the future.”
“Uh…thanks, Grandpa Lu.”
“You’re welcome, my boy! If you have any love problems, just come to your beloved grandpa. There’s no need to be shy! And don’t look down just because your grandpa is already this old. After all, I’ve lived far longer than you and experienced a lot of things in this life. Your grandpa will teach you a lot of things to make your wife happier in and out of bed. As they say, the older the ginger, the spicier it gets. Bahahahaha!”
Jin Liwei was thankful that he just placed his teacup down or else he might have sprayed hot tea all over himself and Grandpa Lu.
“Tsk tsk. My boy, why are you still being so shy? I want to know! If I said the same thing to your wife, she would’ve immediately asked this old man for advice in that straightforward manner of hers how to make your married life happier and spicier.”
Jin Liwei coughed, trying his best to hide his embarrassment. “That’s because my wife is special.”
“Damn right she is! If you dare hurt my granddaughter and the mother of my soon-to-be great-grandbaby, you better be bloody ready because this old man will smack you like there’s no tomorrow! Hmph!”
“No need to remind me, Grandpa Lu,” Jin Liwei replied in a serious and sincere tone. “I’ll be the first one to hurt anyone who dares harm my wife and children, even if that person is myself.”
“Good!” Then Grandpa Lu stopped sipping tea, leaned back on the couch, and started loosening the collar and tie of his business suit. “Now that I saw that Rose Young with my own eyes, I can tell that the woman is big trouble. Her obsession with you, my boy, is rather worrying, so you should be careful.”
“En. I’ll be careful. Please don’t worry about me.”
“Who’s worried about a pinhead like you?! I’m more worried about your wife. Xiulan my girl is currently pregnant, and from what I’m hearing, her pregnancy symptoms are making her suffer. Poor girl!”
Jin Liwei sighed, also feeling worried and sorry for his wife. After all, he was the one who got her pregnant. On one hand, he was ecstatic that their love had borne fruit. But on the other hand, her obvious difficulties in her pregnancy were causing him endless worry.
The previous twinkle in Grandpa Lu’s eyes was now gone, replaced by piercing seriousness. “I’ll say this again. That Rose Young is big trouble, not only because of her family’s evil intentions towards our company, but also her obsession with you alone. This old man saw everything earlier. Even if you were the one clearly hurting her, she still shifted the blame on Xiulan.”
Jin Liwei agreed with Grandpa Lu’s assessment, his eyes turning colder.
“Hmph! How dare that woman look down on my favourite granddaughter?! I want to know! If she wasn’t sitting so far away from me, I would’ve slapped her for the way she insulted Xiulan my girl! Someone like her actually dared to harp about her academic achievements and compare herself to a Cross Academy student? Hah! Truly worse than an ignoramus!”
“She’ll pay for the things she said about my wife. This is just the beginning.”
Grandpa Lu calmed himself but his sharp eyes remained serious. “I trust that you’ll do what needs to be done, even if you’re a pinhead like your fifth brother sometimes. Just remember that safety always comes first! You have a wife now and soon you’ll become a father to your first human baby! It’s your responsibility to not only keep your family but also yourself safe!”
“En. I understand.”
“Alright, this old man will leave now after accomplishing my mission!” Grandpa Lu stood up.
Jin Liwei followed suit. “Thank you very much, Grandpa Lu. I appreciate you coming today and saving me the time and trouble of dealing with that woman and her supporters in the board of directors meeting by myself.”
“Why are you suddenly acting so formal in front of your grandpa? I want to know! It’s only natural that I help you. We’re family! I’ll be off now and head to Dragon Palace to visit Little Junjun boy! I bought him lots of presents. I’ll eat dinner at your place so try to come home early! I’ll call Haohao and tell him to bring Jinjing girl so we can all eat together!”
