Liu Feng’s face darkened when he heard their words.
Even though before this, he had not totally believed what Bai Chen had said, now, he had to, because Long Xu In had said it herself.
Liu Ze’s brows furrowed. He did not see how a guy like Bai Chen, who was not even half as attractive as his grandson, could have won Long Xu In’s heart.
But he did not care much. Even if they really were dating, he could break them up.
If one was to ask why? It was because Liu Ze had helped Long Xu In’s grandfather before.
Just one phone call to his old friend, Long Xu In’s granddad, would lead to the order for them to break up.
“Oh, how is Mr. Quang doing? Is he doing all right?” Liu Ze said, completely ignoring Bai Chen.
It was clear that to him that someone like Bai Chen was not worth any interest.
“Grandpa Quang is doing well.”
Long Xu In was a little insulted that Liu Ze ignored Bai Chen, but she had to keep talking to be polite.
It was not because she cared about Liu Ze or anything. But it was because she cared about Mr. Quang, or Quang Guang, whom Liu Ze had just asked about. She respected him like he was her own grandfather, so she called him her ‘grandpa’.
Quang Guang had been her driver since she was a child. Surely, Liu Ze did not know this. If he did, he would not have ignored Bai Chen, whom Long Xu In had introduced as her boyfriend.
“I’m glad to hear that he is well. Oh, right. Little Feng, my grandson, has something he needs to talk to you about. Could you go speak to him for a little while?” Liu Ze said, expecting that Long Xu In would not be dare to disagree.
But the old man overestimated his value. If it had not been for Quang Guang, Long Xu In would not even be talking to him.
Long Xu In smiled and replied, “I’m sorry. But I need to spend time with my boyfriend.”
“What? You deny my request?” Liu Ze’s expression changed instantly. His brows furrowed together more tightly.
He did not expect Long Xu In to say no. Even Liu Feng was caught off guard because Liu Ze always told him that Long Xu In would listen to him. But what was this?
Long Xu In pretended not to hear Liu Ze. She turned towards Bai Chen and said, “Let’s go for a walk.”
Bai Chen nodded in agreement. “Okay.”
“Wait, Xu In, are you really turning down my request?” Liu Ze asked with a voice that was taken on a hard edge.
Long Xu In’s pretty brows knitted together. She did not like Liu Ze’s words at all.
She wondered to herself who Liu Ze thought he was that she had to listen to his commands.
“Grandpa Liu, what if I deny your request?” she said. Her patience was wearing thin.
“How dare you!” Liu Ze was furious “Do you know I can call your grandfather?!?”
He never thought Long Xu In would dare talk to him this way. Even Quang Guang never spoke to him in such a manner.
“My grandfather?” Long Xu In smiled coldly. In her mind, Liu Ze must think that Grandpa Quang was her actual grandfather, even though their surnames were different. He must think she was using her mother’s last name.
“Suit yourself,” she said and dragged Bai Chen away from the scene.
But she was not going for a walk; she was heading home. Long Xu In could not stand Liu Ze’s behaviour any longer.
“Good, good!” Liu Ze spoke furiously. His two hands tightened into shaking fists.
Liu Feng, standing beside him, was equally livid. “Are you going to let her go just like that?”
“Of course not. Give me your phone. I will call Quang Guang. Let’s see what she does when she faces her own grandfather’s rage,” Liu Ze said, trying to calm himself down.
Liu Feng quickly took his phone out of his suit pocket before passing it to Liu Ze.
Liu Ze dialed the number. As old as he was, his memory was still brilliant.
The call was picked up after a few rings. An old man’s voice sounded from the other end. “Hello, who is it?”
“Quang Guang, it’s me, Liu Ze,” Liu Ze said grumpily.
“Liu Ze, is it really you? How long has it been since we last spoke?” Quang Guang laughed.
“Never mind that. I have something to tell you. Your granddaughter, Long Xu In, refused my request. Do you know what you have to do?” Liu Ze spoke with an authoritative voice.
Quang Guang frowned. “Long Xu In? You mean the Long Xu In I introduced you to?”
“Yes, which Long Xu In could it be?!?”
“Sorry, Liu Ze. I can’t help you with that. If she does not want to do something, nobody can make her do anything. But if you offend her, I will pull your bones out and drown the whole of the Liu family in the river!”
Quang Guang screamed through the phone.
“You...you, why did you talk to me that way?” Liu Ze’s mind switched from confusion to anger.
“Do you not remember how I helped you? What is this? Just for this one granddaughter, you have to disrespect me like this?!?”
“Liu Ze, yes, you did help me. But I returned the favour many times over. Do not come asking for favours now. Let me warn you, if you do not quit bothering her, the Liu family will disappear from Xing Zhou for sure!”
“Y... You!” Liu Ze was so mad he was out of words. But he did not dare challenge Quang Guang’s power.
Quang Guang used to be a soldier, and he was a colonel.
His influence in the army still remained. If he wanted, the Liu family of Xing Zhou could easily disappear!
Liu Ze took a deep breath, calmed his anger, and asked a question.
“Quang Guang, I understand now. Long Xu In is not your real granddaughter, correct?”
Obviously, Liu Ze was not dumb. From what Quang Guang had said, he had worked out the fact that Long Xu In was not Quang Guang’s actual granddaughter.
