160 The Banquet VI

Outside the banquet hall.

"Aahhhh—"

"Stop shouting, if anyone hears you, I will make sure that you lose another tooth this time," grandpa Yang hissed.

Flicking Mr Hunshou's forehead, grandma Mo added, "Now why don't you tell us what did you little friend told you?"

Mr Hunshou gulped in nervousness and gave both of them a weak smile, " What are you both talking about? Haha I did not meet him since weeks—"

Cutting him off, grandpa Yang hissed, "You think you can lie to us?" Tightening his grip around Mr Hunshou's collar, he added, "You think?"

"That second gift, he gave it to you didn't he?" Grandpa Mo asked.

Mr Hunshou panicked and started stammering, "I….don't know...what you are….talking about Quan."

"What else did he tell you? And didn't I tell you not to tell him anything about Ning? Why do you keep going against us?" Grandpa Yang snapped.

Cracking his fingers, grandpa Mo added, "Or have you forgotten how it feels when we punish you?"

"Ahh you people are such bullies, this isn't highschool and we aren't young anymore so you people can't do this," Mr Hunshou retorted.

"I'll ask you for the last time, did Jiang Junop ask you to give that second gift to Ning?" Grandpa Yang asked in a very threatening tone.

"I—"

"Don't you dare lie," grandpa Mo warned.

Not left with any more choice, Mr Hunshou told everything. "So I had no other choice but to pass on his gift, I swear I am not taking sides or saying that anybody is wrong. I was just asked to pass on the gift and that's it."

Squeezing his cheeks, grandpa Yang smirked, "Such a smooth liar."

Smacking Mr Hunshou's forehead, grandpa Mo chuckled, "Your brain is still pea-sized."

"Now why don't you go and tell your dear friend to stay away from my granddaughter otherwise I'll make sure that I break his leg this time and not just his arm." Letting go off his collar, grandpa Yang added, "If you try to act smart, you'll lose another tooth."

"May be the front ones this time," grandpa Mo chuckled.

"Bullies," Mr Hunshou muttered before running away from them.

Patting grandpa Yang's shoulder, grandpa Mo tried to calm him down, "Don't worry Bojin, we still have everything under our control and you know that Junop keeps looking for ways to see Ning but he will never harm her right?"

Grandpa Yang gritted his teeth and snapped, "I don't want him anywhere near my granddaughter. Ning is the only treasure that I have Quan and my princess is genuinely happy after so many years, I don't want anyone to take that away."

"But once everything gets revealed, it's going to be very chaotic and the truth will be hard for her to handle. We cannot hide this forever and we cannot let her learn the truth from someone else because she will feel more betrayed that way. Though the situation is under control, we still don't know what is going to happen next so we need to be prepared." Pausing for a while, grandpa Mo added, "I think it's time to tell Ning or at least Yichan the truth."

When Grandpa Yang sighed and massaged his forehead, grandpa Mo hooked his arms around his neck and chuckled, "Okay now let's not talk about that and enjoy the banquet. We still have so many guests to attend so let's go."

…..

Banquet Hall.

"Ning, this is Mr and Mrs Wang, I think you know him already,"

Ning smiled and nodded her head, "Of course, who doesn't know Mr Wang?"

"It's a pleasure meeting you Mrs Mo," Wrapping his arms around his wife's shoulder, he added, "She is my wife Flora and my daughter Wang Ziying."

Excitedly extending her hand towards Ning, Ziying beamed, "I am a big fan of yours and you have no idea how much I admire the way you managed to reach where you are now. I follow all your business articles, your interviews and I had even attended the business seminar that you had conducted three years ago. In fact, I was a final year student in that college."

"Ziying?" Walking towards them, Nuying gasped and excitedly squealed, "Oh my God it's you."

"Nu," Giving her a hug, Ziying excitedly asked, "I had a feeling that I would see you here but I wasn't sure, Ahh it feels so good to see you again."

"When did you come back and why didn't you call me?" Nuying asked.

"Agh don't remind me, I met an idiot at the airport and—it's a long story, I'll tell you later."

"Oh okay," turning towards Muchan, Nuying said, "He is Muchan, my boyfriend."

"What?" Meili and Ning gasped together.

"Seriously Nu?" Crossing her arm at the front when Ning glared at her, Nuying gave them a weak smile, "I can explain."

"Hmm I guess you should talk to them, I'll go for now and can we please meet someday?" Ziying asked.

"Of course, why not? I have your number so I'll give you a call okay?" After exchanging a brief hug, Ziying left along with her parents while Nuying got busy trying very hard to explain the whole situation to her friends.

"I swear, we just decided to make our relationship official."

"Oh no honey, I guess we did that yes—" Muchan stopped midway when Nuying glared at him. Awkwardly clearing his throat, he correctly himself, "Oh yes we just decided a few minutes ago."

"Our Muchan is such a bad liar, isn't he?" Hooking his arms around Muchan's neck, Guiren added, "Drinks on you tomorrow."

Glancing at his watch, Yufan asked, "Where are they?"

"Who they?" Meili asked.

"Oh didn't I tell you honey? Guang and Yuri are coming back today." Guiren informed.

"Oh so their long honeymoon is finally over?" Suyan chuckled.

"It's only because Yuri insisted to return back otherwise Guang would've taken her around all the year." Yufan added.

Kissing Ning's forehead, Yichan smiled, "You are going to like Guang and Yuri as well."

"Yes Ning, they are different, crazy and cool." Meili added.
