Chapter 24: Chapter 24

That night at Xiao Xie's house, the family of three is eating dinner but the mother and father is not really eating, they are both picking the food into Xiao Xie's plate for her to eat more, Xiao Xie seeing her parents attitude tonight she is surprised and became suspicious so she ask "mom, dad did something happen?" She glance at both of them but they did not answer and just continue to give her more food, when she knew that they did not want to answer, she stop eating and face them "why are you two not eating and just picking food for me?" Xiao Xie's mother look to her daughter's worried face and said "Xiao Xie did you like your school very well?" Xiao Xie is confused "why will her mother suddenly ask her such question? Since they came to Beljing her mother never ask her about her school, something must have happened for her to ask her now" she thought, so she wants to know why her mother is asking such question so she said "mom, I love the school but why are you asking me if I like it or not?" When her parents heard their daughter saying she love the school they know that it has something to do with the old man's grandson because when they came to Beljing and she transfer to that school she is always complaining that she wants to transfer to another school but recently she did not mention transferring to another school again, her parents thought it is because of what happened to her brother but when she said that she love the school now they know that it has something to do with the old man's grandson because if not she will have just say that she will try to finish her high school in the school, so her father sigh deeply and look at their daughter, he touch her face lovingly and said "Xiao Xie, father and mother will try to let you finish your high school and get admission into college even if we don't have anything, we can go to the village" Xiao Xie look more confused at her father's words because she don't understand what he mean, she thought that it is because of the money shakers so she said "mom, dad you don't have to worry, I will try and get admission quickly to college" she look at the both of them with assurance, they both nod their head in understanding, her parents decided not to ask or tell her about the old man and his grandson, so they continue eating but Xiao Xie felt something is not right but she could not place it

After Billy finish his office work he went to join his grandfather and Xu Shan's grandfather in the restaurant they already booked, when he got there he sees that Xu Shan is also with them so he intentionally went to side beside her, before, he will ignore Xu Shan but now because he don't want his grandfather to do anything to Xiao Xie or her family he have to corporate and pretend to get closer to Xiao Xie so his grandfather will not think of Xiao Xie anymore, after he sit down, he smile and greet Xu Shan's grandfather "CEO Xu good evening, it been quite a long time we have seen each other" Billy said hypothetically

Xu Shan's grandfather laugh "San, it is you that refuse to come and see me" Xu Shan's grandfather said and Billy smile hearing Xu Shan's grandfather "it is my fault, if not for work I will have come and greet you personally" Billy reply still smiling, Billy's grandfather, Xu Shan and her grandfather were surprise at Billy's behavior today "what came upon my grandson today?" Billy's grandfather thought but did not say anything, Xu Shan's grandfather laugh sarcastically hearing what Billy said "I know you are busy with work, so I did not put it to heart" Xu Shan's grandfather said and Billy then bring out the gift he ask Ray to prepare "I brought this to apologize for not coming to greet you personally" Billy put the gift in front of Xu Shan's grandfather and smile softly

Everyone is more surprise now seeing Billy bring gift for Xu Shan's grandfather, before he will always act coldly towards Xu Shan and her grandfather but now he actually bring a gift "did the sun rise from the other side of the earth today?" Xu Shan thought but she is somehow happy seeing Billy behaving like a future in law to her grandfather "let's have the food" Billy's grandfather quickly said seeing that his grandson is over reacting because everyone could see through his acting, they start eating and discuss business along then they talk about Billy and Xu Shan going to the same school that moment Billy's grandfather suddenly stop eating "we want the two of you to be aware that you will be engage to each other after your final exam in high school" Billy's grandfather said and the others get stunned

Xu Shan blink unbelievably "really!" She exclaim with joy "yes the moment the two of finish high school you will officially be engaged, so neither of you is allow to get involve with anyone, because you are engage to each other now is just not yet official" Billy's grandfather said indirectly to his grandson, Xu Shan is really happy hearing Billy's grandfather, she felt butterflies flying in her heart and she look to Billy to see his reaction, when Billy heard what his grandfather said he stop eating and did not look up from his food, he knows that his grandfather will take action but he did not expect it will be in that way, he is shock but he keep his cool with an indifferent expression that no one could read, he did not say anything but listen to what his grandfather wants to further say

Xu Shan's grandfather is also surprise, he did not know that Billy's grandfather will declare their engagement like that but he is still happy, happy that everything is solved and his granddaughter will also be happy, he smile and said "that right, you two should look out for one another in school and take care of each other" Xu Shan's grandfather continue to smile "don't worry grandfather, grandfather Tiau, I will take care of Tiau San" Xu Shan immediately said, the two grandfathers laugh to what Xu Shan said, since Billy did not want them to be suspicious about him he forcefully smile too, if not for his grandfather he will really break corporation with GB company, he thought angrily as they continue to eat

After the dinner, Xu Shan's grandfather look to Billy and Xu Shan "Tiau San shouldn't you and Xu Shan talk outside, I want to discuss something with your grandfather" Xu Shan's grandfather said smiling sheepishly, Billy look at the cunning old man and smile too "alright, CEO Xu" Billy instantly hold Xu Shan's hand and take her outside "I don't know you are this sweet" Xu Shan said hugging Billy's hand that is holding her hand "you are really a good future husband" Xu Shan said and smile happily as they go out, Billy did not answer her but keep going, when they get outside out of the reach of the two grandfathers, Billy instantly remove his hand from Xu Shan's then he become stone face

Xu Shan look surprise as she feel his coldness towards her "Tiau San what happened? Did I say anything wrong?" Xu Shan ask with a sad face, Billy look at her with a straight face "you did not say anything wrong, I just don't like people touching me" Billy said as he dust the part of his suit where Xu Shan touch as if he just get in contact with something disgusting, Xu Shan become angry "is he saying am dirty? Or that am among those that cannot touch him?" Xu Shan thought but kept quiet, what Billy mean to say is that, he don't like anyone touching him except Xiao Xie "since we are going to be engage soon should you have my number?" Xu Shan said anxiously trying not to get angry with Billy, Billy did not have her number even though they are said to be getting engaged, Xu Shan is the only who has Billy's number and even if she calls him, Billy will ignore her calls, when Billy notice that Xu Shan wants to bring up something else, he pick his phone and pretend to call someone so he excuse himself, he later came back to Xu Shan and said "Shan please help me to tell your grandfather that I will be leaving first, something urgent came up" he left hurriedly without allowing Xu Shan to reply.
