His Genius Wife is a Superstar

1068 I’m Your Grandpa

"Grandpa Boss!" Dom sprang up from his seat and tried to stop the enraged old man from continuing to make a loud ruckus. "Please be quiet. Boss just fell asleep again."

Fortunately, Grandpa Lu listened and stopped. His anger, however, had no signs of abating. He glared at his two grandsons and looked like he wanted to bang their hard heads together to teach them a lesson. Then his eyes landed on the beautiful, sleeping young woman on the bed. Concern immediately replaced the fierce glare on his face. He rushed to her.

"How's Xiulan my girl? I want to know!"

"Don't worry, Grandpa Boss. Boss is safe now but the doctor says that she needs complete bed rest for at least half a month."

It was Dom who answered Grandpa Lu. The three other men were completely silent. Both Jin Liwei and Lu Zihao had already resigned themselves to be scolded by the old man. As for Jin Chonglin, he pretended to be invisible, not wanting Grandpa Lu's line of fire to be directed at him as well.

"Good! That's good!" Grandpa Lu nodded in relief as he looked at Iris. "She looks so pale!" He turned his head to glare at Jin Liwei and Lu Zihao again. "Useless rascals! Can't even take care of your pregnant wife and little sister! Hmph!"

"Grandpa Boss, please sit down." Dom tried to lead the old man to an empty armchair but Grandpa Lu waved him away.

"Thanks, Dominic my boy, but this old man is fine!"

Dom pursed his lips but didn't insist and withdrew. He returned to his seat and attacked a box of cookies next. His stress levels were at an all-time high after everything that happened tonight, so he couldn't stop eating.

Grandpa Lu patted the sleeping Iris' hand before marching to scold the two dunderheads for their reckless negligence.

Upon seeing Jin Liwei's injured state, he only grabbed the younger man's ear and twisted it. Jin Liwei hissed from the pain but otherwise endured it quite well. The sight was too pitiful that Jin Chonglin covered his eyes, no, his entire face with a throw pillow while Dom shoved more cookies inside his mouth.

"Hmph! Serves you right, you pinhead! How dare you leave our company's defence to your wife?! I want to know! You know how sensitive her health has become after becoming pregnant! If you act this bloody incompetent again next time, I'll replace you with Xiulan and make her the new President-CEO of Jin Corporation! Leaving your pregnant wife alone to act out a ridiculous play with your fifth brother, this old man wishes that I use a cane so that I can hit you two dunderheads with it! Hmph!"

Jin Liwei groaned in both relief and pain when the old man finally released him. He quickly massaged his abused ear and remained silent, not saying anything to defend himself.

"And you!" Grandpa Lu targeted Lu Zihao next.

He charged at his flesh and blood grandson sitting on the windowsill and began smacking Lu Zihao. Grandpa Lu didn't hold back at all. The loud hitting sounds filled the room, making Dom and Jin Chonglin wince and sink deeper in their seats.

"Gah! This old man has a bellyful of things to say to you for a while now, you  dunderhead! How dare you hide and not show your face to your beloved grandpa for so long?! Do you still treat this old man as your grandpa, huh?! I want to know!"

Lu Zihao stood there like a statue and let the old man release his pent-up anger and frustrations at him. His body could take it. Grandpa Lu was strong for his advanced age, but at the end of the day, he was already an old man and couldn't compare to the strength of men in their prime like Lu Zihao and Jin Liwei.

The hard smacks rained down on Lu Zihao but he was like an immovable mountain who could weather any storm. Seeing him so unaffected, Grandpa Lu hit him harder.

Nobody noticed the slight tremble in Lu Zihao's expression. Regret, melancholy...joy. These emotions combined into one all flashed in his eyes.

"Grandpa…."

The hits stopped. Grandpa Lu whipped his head up and looked at him.

"It hurts."

Jin Liwei glanced at them, alert. His eyes narrowed, several emotions also flashing within them. However, he didn't interfere and stayed silent.

"Hah." Grandpa Lu gave him a final smack on the head but there was no power in it. Then he chuckled but there was a sad note in his voice. "You silly, stinky boy."

Lu Zihao's expression turned cold and hard. Then he was suddenly soaked in sweat. His nostrils flared as he breathed faster and harder like he was trying hard to stay upright on his feet.

Grandpa Lu saw all of these but he only sighed. He patted his grandson's sturdy shoulder. "Why are you such dunderheads? Both of you? I want to know. Silly boys."

A deep furrow formed between Lu Zihao's brows while Jin Liwei looked like he was deep in thought.

"Old man," Lu Zihao began to speak in a hoarse voice.

The pats on his shoulder became a hard smack.

"Call me Grandpa, you pinhead! How many times does this old man need to tell you this? I want to know!"

"Grandpa," he said, his tone a little stiff.

"Grandpa…" he said again, this time in a more comfortable and familiar manner.

This time, it was Jin Liwei's expression that trembled. Nobody noticed it either.

The old man nodded, satisfied. "That's right! I'm your Grandpa! Don't forget that again or this old man will give you another round of spanking. You hear?!"

Grandpa Lu finally headed to the couch and plopped down his old but still energetic body. He turned to Jin Liwei and announced, "I'll bring Xiulan my girl to my mansion in the suburbs where the air is fresher. She'll have her bed rest there."

"My wife stays with me," Jin Liwei objected.

"Hah!"

"Uhm, Grandpa Boss," Dom interrupted. "I think that Boss will want to stay with Sir Boss."

"Hmph! Fine! Then this old man will move to Dragon Palace instead! I'll stay at your place until Xiulan my girl gives birth to my great-grandbaby." Then he glared at Lu Zihao again. "You pinhead come with me, too! No more hiding!"
