Chapter 114 - Only her
The party's atmosphere continued to be harmonious and lively. It was accompanied by classical music and small chatter with small laughs at the same time. Visitors still continue to come. But the later the visitor was, the higher their position was. Like this hour, Old Guan came with his first grandson in tow. Old Lu and Lu Yin Ze greeted them. Guans and Lu's have a good relationship with each other. They are not that close but they subtly accepted each other in relation to friendly competition. Even they are competing with each other in the industry, they have the same understanding that they would not mess with each other. Since they are both from the legendary families, they understand how their family works. The relationship between these two families became close at some point before. It was the time when Old Lu's only daughter, Sasha was a good friend of Old Guan's daughter-in-law. The two ladies were best friends. When they both married and got children, they visit each other's homes to let their children play. The three little children from the Guan family and the two children from the Lu family got along together and they become playmates.
Even the children went abroad, they keep close contact. It was only when Old Lu's daughter Sasha, got sick that the two children could not frequently visit the Guan Mansion. Then after two months, Old Guan's daughter in law got an unfortunate accident and died. The Guan family mourned for their loss. The oldest in the Guan children stayed in China to study and be trained as the next successor. The two young children continued their studies abroad and never went home. They only went home just this year. While Sasha died as well in the following year and the children's father took the children to study abroad. The Guan and the Lu family both mourned for their loss. The intimate relationship between the two families was brought by the two ladies. And when they left, they brought it as well with them. The two families once more continued to be civilized to each other. Now, the two heads were facing each other in greeting. Old Guan saw Lu Yin Ze, like Old Mistress Tang, he commented that Lu Yin Ze inherits Precilia's beauty. "Why Old Xiong was not here yet?" Old Guan keeps looking around. Between the four families, Old Guan was close to Old Xiong the most. So after the formal greeting with the two, Old Guan looked around for his friend. Old Lu harrumphed. "You know the history between us. Old Xiong was probably still ashamed to meet me." Old Guan did not comment. This was between Old Xiong and Old Lu. The two Old heads continued to talk with each other. While on the young ones, Lu Yin Ze properly greets Guan Guri when the latter hugged him. Lu Yin Ze doesn't know how to handle this intimate gesture. He just let him hug him. Guan Guri then patted his back and said in brotherly tone. "Wow. You're so big. We're almost at the same height." Lu Yin Ze awkwardly smiled. He remembered Guan Guri in his childhood. He was a kind big brother. Guan Guri was five years older than him.
He was the oldest among the children so he becomes the mediator whenever there was fights or someone cried among the children. Lu Yin Ze was a cheerful kid and the youngest as well. He was crybaby and Guan Guri always pacify him. However, that was so long ago and a decade had passed since he met him. Lu Yin Ze was nowhere the kid he used to be. "Thank you.-" Lu Yin Ze doesn't know how to address him. He changed. And maybe the person in front of him might be friendly but who knows how much he changed as well? When he was young he addresses him as a big brother. Guan Guri could feel his awkwardness and trouble. He laughed. "You can call me, big brother. Ten years had passed. There are a lot of things we need to catch up with each other." Guan Guri said to ease Lu Yin Ze's awkwardness. Lu Yin Ze began to feel that this big brother did not change at all. He still had those kind smiles and helpful personality. Lu Yin Ze began to feel comfortable and they chatted as they meet new people. The atmosphere becomes livelier when the Guans came. Another hegemon came, it was happy news for every guest. If Old Xiong was here, the four families' Old Master and Mistress that were hard to meet would appear in front of their eyes in just one event! How they wish Old Xiong was here so they could brag that they met the four hegemons in just one night. It seems like their wish was so strong that the heavens granted it. In the middle of the event, the door opened and an old man with a beautiful girl and with their butlers came. Old Xiong was wearing a gray ancient clothing. He looks majestic and his face was firm. Xiong Zhi was following behind the Old man with a calm and unreadable temperament. Since they came late, they got a lot of attention. And when they saw Old Xiong, they become excited and look forward more to the rest of the night. Even with not-so-clear-eyesight, Old Lu spotted Old Xiong at the back. Old Xiong spotted him as well. The two groups walked to met midway. Lu Yin Ze was told by his grandfather that another guest came. He was stunned and followed his grandfather. Who else could make his grandfather meet the other party personally? Since the Head of Tang and Guan was here, he guessed it was the Xiong. Lu Yin Ze suddenly hoped that Xiong Zhi would come as well. As he observed that each head brought their eldest grandchild from their main branch. He walked and his gaze was ahead. He saw an Old man with a dignified and majestic bearing. Then beside him was Xiong Zhi. Xiong Zhi was very well dressed and her exquisite makeup makes her beautiful features stand out more. She was usually very calm and silent. Like she doesn't want to be disturbed. This temperament added more charm and she exudes an aura of a mature and confident woman. With her ocean dress that reveals some skin in her shoulder and with her hair in a bun, she was more seductive than ever. Lu Yin Ze's eyes take it all in. He suddenly remembered a line in a book that he read before. ' In a huge crowd, I spotted her. There's no spotlight but my eyes focus on her. Only her. ' Lu Yin Ze's heartbeat suddenly speeds up.
They are still walking to meet the other party. Suddenly, Xiong Zhi's eyes meet his. His heart abruptly stopped pounding. There was silence everywhere. He couldn't even hear that his grandfather had already started bickering with the other old man. It was like everything surrounding them stopped. Everything was blurred. The only thing his eyes could focus on was her. Xiong Zhi's serious face finally cracked when she saw Lu Yin Ze. Her lips gave a gentle sincere but polite smile. It was only a casual smile. A slight move of her lips. However, that subtle smile was everything to Lu Yin Ze. ******* Meanwhile, the other two that were totally forgotten, was still looking for the elevator. Song Xuantin wanted to smack her head. But she controlled it since her image would be damaged in front of Gu Zhen. "I think we have been here before." Gu Zhen said behind her. Earlier, after Lu Yin Ze and his grandfather left, Song Xuantin was given a chance to study the superb and high-end room. She was really amazed by the design and how luxurious everything in the room. Song Xuantin was very fashionable. She knew a lot of things when it comes to decorations and fashion. Suddenly she remembered that she was in this Luxury hotel that many rich people dream of visiting. She walked to the staff and with excited expression asked, "Can we walk around here? " the staff was given an instruction to make their second young master's friend comfortable. So the staff answered quickly and gave them an access card to the entertainment section and to some other floors that could be accessed by the green members. The staff even volunteered to tour them. But Song Xuantin declined and said that they would be alright with the two of them. The staff just reminded them of the time of the event and when he would be found. Song Xuantin with her mind full of exploring did not listen carefully. She excitedly gave her thanks and drag Gu Zhen out of the room. There was still time before the actual event start. These two teens don't have any mind to mingle with those high-status people. So they took their time to explore. Song Xuantin would take selfie pictures with Gu Zhen from time to time. An hour passed and Song Xuantin believed its time to look for Lu Yin Ze. Since the place was really enormous, Song Xuantin really had a difficult time just to find the elevator. There are many elevators but there's no button for the Luxury hall. Only the parking lot and ground floors. It was the third elevator that they find and still no Luxury hall. They had no choice but to remember the floor they went to visit earlier. Since Song Xuantin just presses and presses any floor she could access she did not remember exactly the arrangement of the floors that they visited. Now she was not sure if she was on the right floor. 'I should have not rejected the staff earlier.' It was only when Gu Zhen called out to her that this floor was familiar and they looked around. Suddenly, the elevator opened and the staff who give them the card earlier called out to them. "The second young master is looking for you. Have you enjoyed the tour?" The staff asked with a smiling face.
