Chapter 423: Best Granddaughter

Long Yi's downfall was inevitable. Shen Qui and Lyca already expected him to lose. What they didn't expect was for him to actually kill his own wife, Huang Xiaoxuan.

Of course, Lyca and Shen Qui were unaware of Huang Xiaoxuan's death. Currently, they were on their way to Old Man Tang's birthday.

"I hate purple," Lyca said. "I feel like an eggplant while wearing one."

"But you were wearing one."

"You told me I look pretty in this dress!" Her dress was actually a hombre purple. It was a beautiful A-Line dress with intricate laces, beads, and tulle. It was a midi dress, and the best thing about this dress was that she could easily cut it. In case… another ambush happens. Yes. The tulle is removable!

"You were pretty all the time. Even if you're not wearing clothes."

Lyca chuckled. "So nasty," she was calmly sitting on the front seat, staring at him as he drove the car. "The color purple makes me feel like a royal, you know. Like a queen or a princess."

"And you don't like it." That wasn't a question. Shen Qui knew that she wasn't the type to want to become a princess.

"Ah, when I was a child, I never wanted to become a princess. I thought it was way too complicated." Lyca uttered as she closed her eyes. "Anyway… do you think grandfather would like our gift?"

"Of course he will."Shen Qui assured her. At this point in time, everyone who would receive the armor that Lyca personally made would indeed feel lucky. Especially if they knew that this armor was specifically designed and created with the lightest material. It wasn't big and bulky. This armor wasn't really a complete armor but more like a bulletproof vest. Except this one is very hard to recognize.

It was small and thin. You could easily hide it in a suit.

After a few minutes of driving, the two arrived in Tang Family's mansion.

Walking inside the mansion, the two didn't actually attract much attention. Everyone was looking at the group of women dancing in the middle of the stage located in front of the tables and chairs. The party was at the back of the mansion where everyone could have the perfect view of the city lights and the garden.

Small tables for people who wanted to stand can be seen near the bar while the bigger tables were placed near the stage. This time, Lyca didn't immediately go to the table nearest to the food. Instead, Shen Qui and her walked towards her grandfather, who was surrounded by many people.

"Grandfather," Lyca's smile was as gentle as her voice. She hugged her grandfather. "Happy birthday!"

Old Man Tang laughed. After the ambush, he already told Huang Sheng Hong not to show up and just leave the country. It was becoming more dangerous for them. He was confident that many people would use his birthday to try and meet Lyca.

He wouldn't want to put his daughter and granddaughter into a difficult situation.

"Grandfather," Shen Qui also greeted the old man. Then he handed the box. "This is our family's gift. We hope you liked it."

In front of everyone, Old Man Tang accepted the gift. He didn't hand it to his secretary and just held it close to him. He then turned towards the people surrounding him. "You two… you didn't have to bring anything for my birthday. You know that I never liked extravagant gifts. Your presence is enough for me."

"Grandfather, Lyca made this gift for you. Please accept it." Shen Qui said. He could feel everyone's gaze turned towards his wife.

"Ah, right… everyone… this is my granddaughter Lyca Huang and her husband who is now my grandson, Shen Qui." Old Man Tang's voice was light. Before anyone could say anything, he already added, "You two are late. It's already seven… you should go and find something to eat. I included some of Lyca's favorites tonight. Feel free to enjoy the food."

"Old Man Tang… why does it feel like you wanted them to leave? These two youngsters were showing their filial piety, and yet you would just send them to eat?" The man who spoke laughed. "How about this… That gift was made by your granddaughter. Why don't you open it and show it to us? Wouldn't it be nice to show off the things that our granddaughters made?"

"General Li… this gift was made by my granddaughter. Naturally, I wanted to show it off. However, I cannot just open it in front of everyone. After all, it was made for me. Isn't it right that I see it first?"

"Hahaha! You are still childish!" General Li sneered. "Here… look at this…" He opened to buttons of his shirt and showed a huge necklace made of various stones. "This is made by my granddaughter. She loved to design jewelry and thought it would be nice to make something for me. You see this stone? This represents bravery and patriotism."

"That is such a flashy necklace," Old Man Tang said, unimpressed. "I would never wear something so huge around my neck."It would make him feel like a dog.

"Hmph! That wasn't the point! The point was that I am very proud of this creation! I asked an expert jeweler to appraised this necklace, and he told me it was worth about three million!" General Li laughed. "Is my granddaughter the best? Or not?"

"Of course not!" Old Man Tang instantly argued. "Your granddaughter is obviously not as good as mine!"

"Then… why don't you open the gift? Let me guess… this should be a huge collection of jewelry. It was wrapped in a gorgeous box, and it didn't look that heavy. Tell me if I'm wrong."

"General Li… let me tell you something." Old Man Tang lifted his chin as he declared proudly, "My granddaughter is not as dense as some people. Why would she give me a piece of useless jewelry? Is that something that would help me walk? Or eat?" His voice attracted a lot of people's attention.

"Then… why don't you open the box so we can see if she is one of those dense people?"
