BXBX NOVEL Chapter 320 Grandpa Lu's Proposition
Athena leaned to Jade and whispered, "This is it. Good luck to us. We need to impress them."
Jade nodded her head in agreement. Her eyes were focused on the man wearing a white suit. They were sparkling with excitement as she watched the gorgeous young man walking towards them. Jade was starstruck especially when she got a close view of Tristan\'s face.
Grandpa Lu and Matthew were both wearing Black, only Tristan wore white to pair with Zhen-Zhen\'s dress. Both Tristan and Grandpa Lu were smiling from ear to ear when they saw Zhen-Zhen standing at the entrance. She didn\'t enter the venue yet.
But the two ladies misunderstood it. Athena and Jade thought Tristan was smiling at them. Little did they know, Tristan could only see one woman in his eyes and that was Zhen-Zhen.
"Lillie, wait for me. I will just talk and welcome our VIP guests tonight," Mary told Zhen-Zhen before she walked over to greet the VIP guests who just arrived.
Zhen-Zhen just smiled faintly as she watched everyone walking toward Grandpa Lu, Tristan, and Matthew. She just stayed at the back. Her blue eyes met Tristan\'s hazel eyes. The Love and affection for each other reflected in those eyes.
Grandpa Lu saw how the husband and wife looked into each other\'s eyes. He cleared his throat and nudged Tristan\'s shoulder, giving him a warning.
"Cough, Cough! I said control yourself. Why do I feel like you want to run towards your wife right now and engulf her in your arms? Can you behave, Tristan?" Grandpa Lu ranted at his grandson again.
Matthew bit his lower lip so that he could stop himself from laughing out loud. The interaction between the grandfather and grandson duo was very fun to watch.
"I know grandpa. I\'m just looking at my wife. There\'s nothing wrong with that." Tristan defended himself.
Grandpa Lu could only sigh and shake his head at Tristan\'s response.
It did not take long when Grandpa Lu, Tristan, and Matthew reached the entrance going to the venue. Mary, the student council representative, together with Athena and Jade welcomed them immediately. They were holding flowers too.
"Good evening esteemed guests. Welcome to our humble school, Chairman Lu and Mr. Tristan Davis," Mary greeted them with utmost respect and politeness.
Both Grandpa Lu and Tristan nodded at Mary as they acknowledged her greetings. Athena and Jade handed the flowers to the grandfather and grandson duo. They were smiling sweetly at Tristan.
After that, Mary started to introduce herself and the two ladies who were assigned to accompany them and assist them with whatever they needed tonight.
"Chairman Lu and CEO Davis, I am Mary, the vice president of the Supreme Student Council of this university. The University President together with the other higher-ups is already waiting for you inside. The program is about to start in 15 minutes."
"It is our honor to have your presence tonight. Because of that, we have here are two beautiful ladies who will assist you during the entire duration of the party. Please don\'t hesitate to ask them about your needs. This Athena, our Campus Belle. She\'s a fourth-year student. And this is Jade, she\'s known as the Queen of third-year Class. They will serve as your usherettes tonight."
"Hello, Chairman Lu and CEO Davis, it\'s our pleasure to meet you," Athena said extending her right hand to them for a handshake.
Grandpa Lu accepted it and shook her hand. When it was Tristan\'s turn to hold her hand, Tristan\'s remembered his promise to Zhen-Zhen.
[ "Wifey, my hands… they are all yours now. I will only touch you… You can chop them once you see me touching another woman." ]
Tristan smiled sheepishly, taking a peek at his wife. He just waved at Athena, not accepting her hand. Athena felt disappointed when Tristan didn\'t hold her hand.
Jade smiled inwardly. She thought Athena\'s charm didn\'t work on Tristan. This time she was the one who tried her luck. She also did the same, greeting the grandfather and grandson duo and extending her hand for a handshake.
Matthew who was just watching on the side could somehow guess that the two ladies in front of them were trying to get Tristan\'s attention.
Matthew\'s lips curled up into a mischievous smirk, observing Tristan. Since they were not paying attention to him, Matthew decided to stand next to Zhen-Zhen who was very silent on her spot.
\'What are you going to do now, Tristan? Your wife is just standing here,\' Matthew thought to himself.
But Tristan became true to his words. He didn\'t accept Jade\'s hand as well. Jade raised her eyebrow, wondering why Tristan didn\'t want to touch their hands.
"What\'s wrong with him? Is he being shy because his grandfather is with him right now? This is not the personality of the Tristan Davis who is known as certified Cassanova. They said before that once he saw beautiful women he would flirt with them immediately," Jade pondered at that thought.
Both Jade and Athena smiled charmingly as they tried their best to hide their disappointment when they got ignored by Tristan.
Meanwhile, Grandpa Lu was looking at Zhen-Zhen, he wanted to greet her. If they were not here, he bet she would approach him already and give him warm hug.
\'Argh, my sweet granddaughter-in-law, where is grandpa\'s hug tonight?\' Grandpa Lu thought to himself while putting on a pitiful face.
Mary noticed Grandpa Lu\'s gloomy expression so she asked him if there\'s something wrong.
Then suddenly an idea popped up in Grandpa Lu\'s brilliant mind.
"Is there any problem Chairman Lu? Pardon me for asking but why do you look upset?" Mary asked him frankly.
She just wanted to make their guests happy and comfortable. The President assigned this task to her. He was counting on her to entertain them very well tonight.
The three ladies exchanged glances with one another. The confusion was written all over their faces. Even Tristan was wondering about the proposition his grandfather was talking about.
Athena and Jade were both thinking to speak up and tell him that it was okay for them to do this. Besides, they also wanted to accompany them, most especially Tristan. So for them, they didn\'t feel any burden or trouble at all.
This was a great opportunity to get closer with Tristan and to know him more. Of course, they wanted to impress him and catch his attention. Deep inside, the two women were aware that they were having a competition right now.
Who between them would be able to catch the attention of this handsome CEO?
In the end, it was Mary who spoke up among them. "Hmm, Chairman Lu, believe us. You are not a burden to them. These two ladies are willing to do this. They already experienced attending this party twice or thrice. But it\'s okay if you have any proposition. What is it Mr. Chairman?"
"Oh okay, then you can let my grandson be assisted by one of them. But as for me…" Grandpa Lu took a pause for a moment, rubbing his chin.
Afterward, a cheeky grin appeared on his handsome aged face. "As for me, I want to choose my personal usherette tonight. Please, I want the lady in white, who is standing at the back."
Tristan: "..."
Mary: "..."
Jade: "..."
Athena: "..."
