Chapter 29 - Fiance?

"Sure. In the mean time I'll let you meet Grandfather before we left tomorrow." Min Ju turn on her phone and snap a photo of the old man. She notice, she likes to take photos to cute and beautiful things. And that includes her grandfather and this old man right in front of here.

"You're leaving tomorrow?" Old Man Xiao asked in disbelief. He wanted to delay his discharge so that he can talk to her and her grandfather more however, the two are actually leaving tomorrow.

"En. I have too much work in my hands. Grandfather and Uncle are okay now. I'm sure you and Grandfather will definitely hit it off together." Min Ju smiled.

Well at least, her grandfather won't be lonely anymore.

Min Ju was sure that after her grandfather lost everything. She knew that some of these so called friends might be looking at him with disdain. Some felt pity and others just wanted to ran away when they saw Grandfather Fu.

The only thing she can trust to be Grandfather Fu's friends is Han Lian's grandfather.

"That's great!" Old Man Xiao jumps up from his bed enthusiastically, deeply scaring Min Ju to death.

This old guy has a lot of strength and energy today. He didn't even used his cane. Min Ju thought twitching her lips.

She watch him rummage his small leather bag. He took out a small round thin metal thing that looks like a medallion or was just an ordinary necklace with carving on both of its sides. Min Ju can't really see it since the old man is a little bit farther away from where she's sitting.

Old Man Xiao turn around smilingly.

"Here, take this a gift."

"Grandpa, why would I take this gift? It seems very valuable to you." Min Ju notice that the old man is holding the thing tightly. As if afraid to drop it.

"Yes, this is very valuable." Old Man Xiao answered simply.

"If it's very valuable, why would you give it to me?" She asked confuse. They just met not many hours ago but the old man seemed to trust her. Isn't he afraid that she's an evil girl?

"Because you deserve it. This thing will be very helpful in the future. Are you a student, yeah? From where school? You should go to First Ace University, everyone needs to have a good and proper education. For me, you look very promising." Old Man Xiao changes the topic. If the girl goes to FAU this token will be very helpful.

"I can't take it." She answered. And when she saw the look of sadness in the old man's eyes. She wince and change her mind.

"Fine. I'll take it. Thank you for the gift." Min Just flashes a smile of gratitude and took the token.

If she know what it is, Min Ju would be very angry but at the same time grateful.

"Aren't you going to ask what it is?" Old Man Xiao look at her very satisfied.

"Isn't this a valuable thing? I'll greatly treasure this because this is an important thing that came from Grandpa."

Old Man Xiao nodded. "It is a token. Just make sure you don't lose it, okay? And you and your friends should study in First Ace University. They had great teaching there!" Xiao Ren did not forgot recommending the school he probably owns.

"Okay, Grandpa. That's the school I'm planning to attend anyway." Min Ju put the token on her neck, using it as a necklace.

"I'll be leaving now. Sleep well, Grandpa Ren."

Xiao Ren watch her departing back. That token will probably help her and will be her trump card in the future. Who knows? After all, that token is his. A token of power.

A token that she can use to mobilize the military base. And a symbol that she is the heir of the great old family of Xiao.

"I'm sorry Little Ju. For putting great power in your hands." The old man muttered under his breaths.

Old Man Xiao's phone ring and he immediately answered it.

"Old Man, I heard you found your heir." The voice raspy and low but their was a little bit of charm hidden on it.

"I'm coming back to China for that reason. Is my brother taking care of you?" The man asked.

"Hmm. However, that boy is busy. Leaving me so alone here with no one to talk to." Old Man Xiao frown. "When are you arriving here Qing Wu Yao? And are you staying here for good?"

"Tomorrow. Probably, yes. I'm done settling my stuff here." Qing Wu Yao answered boredly. Currently, he was driving his car on the way to his villa in Switzerland.

"Thats good. You should probably go to college now."

"Old Man—"

"Stop calling me, Old Man you dimwit! I'm your master!" He burst in annoyance. The grumpy look nevertheless appeared on his face. Not the usual innocent and amicable face when he face Min Ju.

"Tsk. Master, I'm too cool and smart to be in college. I'll just go and help the heir in managing your company, okay? After all, you made me all work in your company. He would probably not know the drill. Also, I'm taking my rest in the military intelligence." Qing Wu Yao said sighing. Thinking that the heir is a burden.

"You...Anyway, do you remember what I promise you?" The old man's eyes turn slit and he let out a secret 'keke' laugh.

"What promise?" Inside his car, his handsome sworld-like eyebrows knitted. His nose straight, lips soft and kissable, eyes as dark as the night sky and a tan honey colored skin. With his brown hair soft and sleek back. Qing Wu Yao lean lazily on his seat.

Old Man Xiao laughed before speaking, "If I found an heir that is a woman, you'll marry her?"

Suddenly the call ended.

Old Man Xiao curse, and tried calling the boy back.

"You dimwit! Answer the call!" Shouted old man Xiao Ren. Gnashing his teeth in anger.

On the other hand, Qing Wu Yao stomp the breaks hard in shock.

Wait, wait, wait. So that's true? That wasn't a dream? He was serious about that? He thought.

He found an heir? And that woman will be my fiance?

Oh, f.u.c.k.

Old Man!!! That girl must be up to my standards! I don't need a girl that will follow me like a dog! I had enough of them in the past! It traumatized me! Qing Wu Yao scream inwardly. He cannot take the risk that someone would take suicide again because he didn't notice her. Thinking about what happened in the past make him feel aghast unconsciously.
