Chapter 401 - Not You Too

"Her two titles are special. Who wouldn't want to mingle with the Chairwoman of the number one richest family in the country? Even without that Chairwoman title, her fame as the best designer of all time is a world-renowned thing so, I am not surprised that everyone is paying attention to her," Pei Yan said as her eyes trailed the lady who seemed to be heading towards Grandpa Li.

"Are you praising her like those good for nothing people?" Zhao Liying asked as she shot Pei Yan a murderous glance.

"Liying, calm down she is stating the truth. Those socialites are too blind to see her for what she truly is, but Pei Yan isn't blind that is why she will never kiss up to her," Bai Zihua added as she secretly signalled Pei Yan to play along. 

"Yeah, Zihua is right. Let her enjoy her time now, I am sure Auntie will soon put her in her rightful place," Pei Yan said.

"Speaking of mum, I wonder where she is," Zhao Liying said, as she let her eyes wander about the room in search of her mother.

"Big bro, she is here like she said. This is your chance to get her back, don't miss it for anything in this world.. You have to get my beautiful Sister Zi Er back," Li Chen said, as he tapped Yifeng by the shoulder before he approached where his Grandpa was sitting.

When Yang Zi and Yang Mi finally covered the distance between them and Grandpa, he was already standing.

"Happy belated birthday, Grandpa," Yang Zi said, as she embraced the smiling old man.

"You have finally made one of my wishes come true. I am happy to finally set my eyes on the two of you in person," Grandpa Li remarked, as he continued patting Yang Zi's back.

"I am sorry that it took me this long to visit you. I have missed you very much Grandpa," Yang Zi said, as she continued embracing the man she had missed seeing.

"It's ok. As long as you made it here then, I am very happy," Grandpa Li said as he finally released her.

"Grandpa!" Yang Mi remarked as she looked up at the tall man standing in front of her.

"Grandpa, I heard you are not feeling fine so there is no need to lift her? Besides she is a big girl now," Yang Zi said, when she saw Grandpa Li trying to carry Yang Mi on his body.

"I am not that sick to the point that I can't carry my great-granddaughter," Grandpa Li said, as he lifted the smiling Yang Mi on his body.

"With Grandpa, Mi Er is and will always be a child, don't you know that mum?" Yang Mi said playfully, as she wrapped her hand around Grandpa Li's neck.

"Whenever anyone calls you a child, you always get upset but when Grandpa does that you can't seem to stop smiling, do you know that you are being biased?" Yang Zi asked. She watched Grandpa Li sit down with Yang Mi still on his body.

"Grandpa is always an exception," Yang Mi said, as her smile broadened even more.

"Sister Zi Er, don't feel so unhappy about Mi Er's attitude because Grandpa is also very biased. He loves and spoils Mi Er more than he has ever done to the two of us...,"

"Daughters should always be loved and pampered because they will be the ones to take care of us during old age, don't you know that? So why are you feeling jealous and didn't you always talk about how much you miss her every day so are you complaining now that she is back?" Grandpa Li said playfully. With these two beautiful girls around, he could not stop talking, this was how he normally is whenever they were present be it in the past or present.

"Grandpa is the best. He also treats Mi Er the best," Yang Mi said before she pecked Grandpa Li on his cheeks.

"Grandpa, I will let you bond with Mi Er for now. I will come back later," Yang Zi said. She only left when the smiling Grandpa Li signalled her to go mingle.

"Grandpa, I bought you so many gifts before we returned. I will bring it to you when I visit your villa," Yang Zi could overhear Yang Mi talking to Grandpa.

After leaving where Grandpa sat, Yang Zi went around and greeted business partners she was familiar with. And while doing this, she stylishly looked whether she would see where her friends were hiding.

An hour later, Yifeng walked up to her. On setting eyes on him, she turned to walk away but Yifeng grabbed her hand.

"How many times have I told you never to lay your hands on me? Are you perhaps hoping that I will cause a scene in Grandpa's party?" Yang Zi said angrily but in a low tone.

"If that is your plan, I refuse to be a part of it so let go of my hand or I promise to slap and call you a pervert in the presence of everyone. The fake perfect image you have tried to build all these years will go down the drain if you don't let go of me," Yang Zi threatened fiercely when she saw people centred their eyes on them.

"Zi Er, please let's talk. That is all I want...,"

"Sorry, Mr Li but I don't want to talk to you so just give up already. I will hate you more than I have already done if peradventure our picture comes out in tomorrow's news," Yang Zi threatened sternly. When Yifeng saw reporters taking pictures of them, his grip around her hand slowly loosened.

Yang Zi instantly walked away without sparing him a glance. Yang Zi did not walk too far before someone bumped into her. She had wanted to apologise despite that it wasn't her fault but she held back her apologies when she saw who it was.

"Not you too," Yang Zi remarked, her frown became visible.
