Unexpected Second Chance at Love [1]

CHAPTER 169: Cold and ruthless

----

Jingxu stare in disbelief and confusion at his grandfather. He could not believe what the old man had just asked.

What did he think about Lu Tian?

Uh... Is the man's name even something to think about?

There is not one person in Asia who does not know the name of China's business king. The cold and aloof man is like a legend. Not only is he a like a legend, Lu Tian is multi billionaire and China's most eligible bachelor. However, is he the best candidate for his sister?

Even though Yue Ling shows her smile to everyone, Lee Shin was the only man who's been able to put a real smile on her. A smile Jingxu has not seen since three years ago....

Can Lu Tian really give his sister true happiness?

Jingxu looks at his grandfather, "You want Jie to marry Lu Tian? That man is known to be cold and ruthless...."

Cold and ruthless?

Old man Ji looked at Jingxu. Thinking back to Lu Tian's personality, he couldn't help but agree. Lu Tian is a very powerful businessman, let alone a dangerous man at the same time. However, there's never been any source of scandal about the boy. Even if he is dangerous, he is dangerous for the good not the bad.

"Jingxu, he is not all that bad. I've watched him grow up, he's good as a potential husband for Ah Ling. I plan to introduce them on my birthday."

"..."

Jingxu rolled his eyes at the old man's words. So much for asking for his opinion. To think the Old man actually wants to pair his nice sister with the cold blooded man. That's like throwing a bunny into the tiger's lair.

As Jingxu ponder in thought about Yue Ling becoming Lu Tian's wife, he forgot who his older sister really is behind the mask.

"Since you already made your decision, there's no need to ask me, but make sure you tell Jie first. She just moved here, you wouldn't want to drive her away to another country."

Not waiting for a response, Jingxu stood from his chair and walks out of the study room. He's very tired and wants to sleep early. Stopping at the door, he looks at Old man Ji.

"Don't stay up too late. You're still young and handsome, it's not good for your OLD health."

Quickly, he opens the door and bolted out of the room.

"..."

Left alone in the room, Old man Ji was even more dumbfounded. He swore, every time he says something to boost his old age, Jingxu would always refute it back as a joke. Shaking his head, he leans against his chair.

Slowly, he takes out the handkerchief he had hid in his pocket. Looking down, the expression in his eyes changed into one of grief and regret.

Dark red blood stained the beautiful white handkerchief with the embroidery words 'yeye' at the corner. This handkerchief was the gift his granddaughter gave him. It was the very piece of design she made when she first started designing.....

Closing his eyes, his lips tremble and his hand tightens on the blood stained handkerchief. He thought about Jingxu's words about Lu Tian.

Even if words spread that Lu Tian is cold and ruthless, he knows the boy. If he can depend on someone with his life, that person would be Lu Tian.

He had hid the truth about his granddaughter being Yue Ling because his daughter and son-in-law asked him not to tell the world. They didn't want their only child to be in danger. To be a Ji and Han, one's life is always in danger. One deals with political affairs while the other dealt with the underworld.
