Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart Chapter 210 - Truth: I Am Your Grandpa 2

CHAPTER 210

Slowly, he stretched both hands in front of him and his lips curved upwards into a smile. "Li Jing, my g-granddaughter. It really is you." Before Tang Zixin knew what was happening, he saw Mr Lin's eyes began to fill up with tears.

He turned to his side to look at Li Jing and found out that the girl herself was also in tears. It was really something else. It had become an emotional moment even without either party saying much.

"Grandfather." As soon as the words left her mouth, her voice broke and the tears she was holding back, fell freely down her face.

"Yes, I am your grandpa, Li Jing."

Both of them walked forward till they were standing face to face watching as the other's tears stained their face.

"It all looks like a dream. She really is here. My baby is here. I can't believe it. It is still hard to believe." He shook his head at her, his smile still visible as he tried his best to convince himself.

"Ha…" Li Jing looked down at his hand and held it in hers. Slowly, she brought them over to her face and let it settle there. "It is I, grandfather. It is true. This is me, your grandchild in flesh."

"Yes, yes, yes…" The older man's voice broke as he began to nod his head at her words.

He stretched his hand once more and Li Jing got the cue. With a smiling face and a heart full of joy, she rushed in for a hug.

BADUM!

Immediately she hugged him, her heart started beating fast again. It all felt good and right. She was scared before, scared about the unknown, but meeting him right now, everything changed.

Her fear was gone and even though she did not know what future awaited her, her heart was glad rather than being worried.

If she had known that meeting him would make her feel whole like this, then she would have met with him sooner. It almost felt like she was meeting and receiving the parental love she never got.

A minute later, they pulled away from the hug and Mr Lin lead Li Jing back to sit down. "Tang Zixin, please, do come and have a seat."

"Thank you, sir." Following his instructions, Tang Zixin proceeded to take the seat opposite of the grandfather and granddaughter pair so he could get a better view of them.

Up till now, Li Jing's eyes were still soiled with her tears and they had begun to puff up. 'Oh dear, she better stop crying or else she would have swollen eyes by the morning. Her eyes aren't good for it.' Tang Zixin thought to himself.

"Fu Bolin," Mr Lin called out and within some seconds, a man in his late thirties, rushed into the living room to meet them.

"Sir, you called."

"Yes. Get some more drinks for my guests."

"Right away sir."

"Yes, and the food, is it ready?" Mr Lin asked the smiling butler.

"I would check on with the chef, sir."

"Okay, get on with it." He bowed to Mr Lin and quickly exited the living room to carry out Mr Lin's orders.

He returned his gaze back to his grandchild. "Why are you still crying? You are going to break grandfather's heart if you keep doing that."

"I am sorry. It is just that… Well, I guess I am happy."

"I understand. I am happy too but do me a favour and cry no more, okay?"

She nodded her response and watched as her grandfather wiped her tears away.

"Yes. I have so many things I want to say to you and tell you but I do not want to overwhelm you with them, my child."

"Me too, I have so many things that I want to ask you."

"And you will. But first, I would host a party to celebrate your return to me and introduce you to all our family friends and your relations as well as announce you as my heir."

"What?"

Li Jing's eyes popped open at his words. Announcement! She wasn't prepared for that.

"Yes. Didn't Tang Zixin tell you?"

"Tell me what?" Liu Jing finally peeled her gaze from the old man and darted them towards Tang Zixin who was looking kind of guilty but at the same time, he wasn't.

"That your grandfather is one of the top businessmen in our city. And I would have to introduce you to my business partners as the heir apparent to my business."

"But isn't that too soon? I mean, you virtually just met me and I… umm you do not6 know me and if I am capable of handling such."

"Hahhaaa…" Li Jing was baffled by his strange laughter. What was funny about what she said? She was being realistic but he seemed to have taken her words as a joke. Her brows creased as a small frown appeared on her face.

"Relax dear. I do have your profile with me. I know most things about you. From your favourite food to your pets, your birthday, your favourite colour, your first crush and love which was a total waste of your time. Heaven knows I hate that guy for hurting my grandchild."

Li Jing had nothing to say as she waited for him to list all the things he knew about her. It was obvious he did his research and he did it well.

"So my dear, I know you are capable and I also know even Tang Zixin and Mr Kang, prominent businessmen wanted you two work with them. Also, the fact that you got a job with Dream Star Corporation alone is enough reason to know that you are capable."

"Oh."

"Yes. Simply put, all these businessmen saw something in you that made them want to entrust such a responsibility into your hands and you, my child are a chip off the old lock. Your mother was exactly like you, brilliant beyond compare."

"Then why did she leave? What happened? If she had so much luxury and was doing well, how come she left and you couldn't find her?"
