To Love You Again

Chapter 110 - Sunday Evening

It was Sunday.

Xiong Zhi with sorrow emailed Linfeng that their date, no, their meeting would be postponed.

Xiong Zhi comforted herself that she could meet Linfeng anytime, but attending her friend's birthday was only once a year.

Besides, that Lu guy was a suicidal guy. His heart was ruthlessly broken a few days ago and now his friends would not even attend his precious birthday. So with a mind of 'I'll just drop by to give my gift and well wishes' Xiong Zhi prepared to go.

However, as she was dressing, a maid knocked on her door.

Xiong Zhi wearing a robe opened her door.

The maid bowed.

"Young Miss, your grandfather is looking for you. He is waiting in the main study."

Xiong Zhi with calm face change first into a normal dress and went to the study.

Old Xiong was looking into the files when she came.

"Grandfather." Xiong Zhi bowed.

"Zhi'er, come with me later evening. We will attend Lion Lu's grandson's birthday party." Old Lu said without looking up from the reports.

Xiong Zhi was stunned.

'Grandfather will be coming?'

Old Xiong rarely attend an event. Because of his status and reputation, Old Xiong only attended the big events where mighty figures gathered.

But this event, it might be once in a year event, but it was just a birthday party. To be precise it was a teenage party. His grandfather never attends a young one's party before whether they are the heiress of Tang or heir of Guan family.

So Xiong Zhi really wondered why Old Xiong needs to attend personally.

Old Xiong seems to know what she was thinking.

"I initially don't want to go, but that old Lu called me personally. Let's give them face. I'll just drop by to give my gift and you'll stay in the party. It will be good for your exposure." Old Xiong said.

Xiong Zhi just stays silent.

If Old Xiong will come there's no doubt that the other legendary figure would come as well. As her grandfather said, it would bring a good benefit to her.

However, Old Xiong doesn't know that Xiong Zhi was already invited.

"Butler Zhou would send you your dress. Don't worry about anything. I will handle your gift." Old Xiong said. This would be the first time that Old Xiong would bring out Xiong Zhi to attend an event outside Xiong. So Old Xiong wanted to prepare everything for her. Unconsciously, Old Xiong accepted Xiong Zhi as his successor.

However, Xiong Zhi was debating her self.

She and Song Xuantin have plans. The party was evening but they would meet early as after lunch because they need to choose and buy a gift for Lu Yin Ze.

Xiong Zhi did not expect that her grandfather would come.

Xiong Zhi peeked at Old Xiong.

Old Xiong was just acting normal. He still has that majestic aura around him. However, no one could know that behind that unyielding old man was an excited Old man to flaunt his granddaughter to Old Lu and those Old people.

Old Xiong knew that later on, there would be flaunting of grandchildren.

Then Old Xiong noticed that Xiong Zhi was still standing.

"You may go. Rest well. So later you'll have energy."

Xiong Zhi with her blank face and torn heart withdraws.

When she arrived at her room she called Song Xuantin.

"Xuantin, I can't go with you." Xiong Zhi directly said.

"Huh? You will not go? Yin Ze will be sad. " Song Xuantin who was curling her hair on the other line said. She wanted to persuade Xiong Zhi to come.

"Did your grandfather did not let you?" Song Xuantin thought that maybe Xiong Zhi's mighty grandfather did not allow Xiong Zhi to attend the event of their rival's.

"No. My grandfather will come with me. We will go later in the evening."

"Oh. How about your gift? Don't tell me you don't have a personal gift to Yin Ze?" Song Xuantin brings down the curler and focused on the phone.

"My grandfather will prepare a gift for him." Xiong Zhi said.

"That doesn't count. Yin Ze personally invited us. Don't you see the invitation? It looks like we are his main guest." And then remembering something Song Xuantin murmured. "Oh yeah. You don't see that invitation. Anyway, at least a token will be fine. You know that guy. Even little things make him happy."

Xiong Zhi agreed to what Song Xuantin said. Lu Yin Ze might be a rich guy and silent type. But interacting with him make Xiong Zhi realized he was like a child who wants attention and care. He mostly appreciated little things. Like when they have seatwork. She and Song Xiantin was done. But Lu Yin Ze was not. Xiong Zhi knew that Lu Yin Ze grow up in the hospital and he was not even homeschooled. So it's hard for him to cope up in some of their classes especially their school was so advance. At that time, they both helped him to finish his work. Song Xuantin was in the speaking department so she's the one who taught him and Xiong Zhi was the one who does the solving. After class, Lu Yin Ze sincerely thanked them. He smiled at them and he looked like he was about to cry. Song Xuantin even made fun of him at that time.

"And remember, Yin Ze always give us food at lunch. We are basically a parasite*. " Song Xuantin convince Xiong Zhi more.

(A/n: * - relying on your needs to someone )

Then flashback of Lu Yin Ze's food offering and the last help with the confidential information about the land appeared in Xiong Zhi's mind.

Suddenly, Xiong Zhi got the feeling of responsibility to give something in return.

And what she wanted to give was something sincere.

"Alright. I'll think about it."

*******

The luxury hotel was the most extravagant hotel in China. It gives justice to its name, every corner of it screams luxury.

The Lu Empire like every other empire accommodates many businesses. But it was first known for its hotels and accommodations.

And the Luxury hotel was their pride.

Not anyone could rent this place. Even you spend a million dollars for a night you could not easily rent even one of the rooms here. Unless you are a member or got recommendations from a member using their membership card.

There is a hierarchy in membership.

Red member, green member, golden member, and black member.

Red was the least type of membership. Usually, they are the CEO's of the big companies and young masters and young miss of the legendary families.

Green member, they are the board of directors and shareholders of the big empires. Some of the branched of the Lu family is green members as well.

Golden members are can only be counted through fingers. They are the owners of the big empires and the head of the legendary families such as Old Xiong and Old Guan.

The black member was practically the main Lu family. Old Lu, the first young master and second young master are the only people who are black members.

And now, for its black member, the Luxury hotel was close for business and all the focus was on the event.

It was no joke when the people rumored that it was a 'big' event. Even it was private and unknown to the public, in the upper circle of society it was the hottest topic.

Those who were lucky to know the information, did everything they can to attend this party.

Just knowing that the event will be on Luxury hotel, the wealthy men who can't even afford to stay a night here was so excited by just stepping on this 'can be seen but can't be a touch' hotel. This might be the first and last time they can see the inside of the hotel!

On the ground floor, there was an unsaid competition for every car that would arrive. A Bugatti car opened, and the arrival received an awed gaze from the staff and guests. But then a Lamborghini arrived after that car that stole the limelight. However, before the occupant of the car arrived at the entrance, a Trevita came up behind him. Gasped and starstruck expression could be seen from the staff.

It was the same in the rooftop.

In the rooftop, jets after jets keep parking on the helipad. It was the guest that was invited by Old Lu that comes from other countries.

A Gulfstream G500 fly over and a middle-aged man came down. As he was lead by the staff to the private elevator, a Gulfstream G650ERR parked in the helipad. The middle-aged man knew that the occupant was not so simple. So he waited for the occupant to come down.

A girl between the age of 16 or 18 came down. She was wearing a luxurious backless evening gown. She has a perfect figure and her temperament was cold and aloof. Then she waited and helped an Old woman to come down. When the middle-aged man saw the Old woman he became excited and greeted them.

(A/n: A Gulfstream G500 cost $44.5 million. Gulfstream G650ERR was more expensive. It cost $71.5 million.)
