Chapter 879 - 837: If You Like Him, Go for Him!
After putting down her phone, Lou Xinyu took a deep breath and looked at her own exquisitely made-up face in the mirror, biting her lower lip!
Finally, she could find out the identity of that man!
Far away beyond the third ring road, Wen Yaonan was driving well when he suddenly sneezed, "Achoo!"
He uncomfortably wiped his nose and pulled his coat tighter, thinking he might have caught a chill.
Ten minutes later, Lou Xinyu had everything ready and went downstairs.
Her grandfather, Lou Zhaonian, was already waiting in the living room.
Lou Zhaonian didn’t look particularly pleased because he was about to attend Xing Chen’s welcome party, invited by Shang Dongyuan.
This party was held to welcome Xing Chen back to A City, and all the elites in town would be there. If the Lou Family didn’t show up, it would seem peculiar.
Moreover, to give Xing Chen this face, Lou Zhaonian had no choice but to accept Shang Dongyuan’s invitation.
But by doing so, it was akin to announcing to everyone that the gap between the Lou Family and Shang Family had been bridged.
For Shang Dongyuan, it was killing two birds with one stone.
For Lou Zhaonian, however, it was something deeply unsettling!
He had already been sitting on the sofa, sulking for almost half an hour.
As Lou Xinyu came downstairs, she saw her grandfather looking displeased and sighed inwardly.
She straightened her expression, lifted her skirt, and spun around in front of him, "Grandpa, your taste is always so good! This dress suits me perfectly!"
Hearing that, Lou Zhaonian snapped out of his thoughts, looked at his granddaughter, and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, not bad. My granddaughter is naturally beautiful, looks good in anything she wears!"
Even though Lou Zhaonian had his flaws, he truly cherished his granddaughter to the bone.
Lou Xinyu also looked down at her pale yellow dress and smiled, "Grandpa, let’s hurry, we don’t want to be late."
"Hmph, late then, late. I don’t even want to go!" Lou Zhaonian snorted, his upper lip’s small mustache twitching, making him look somewhat adorable.
Seeing her grandfather’s childish tantrum, Lou Xinyu didn’t argue and directly pulled him towards the door, "Come on, don’t be childish. Don’t you want your granddaughter to get married? Help check which handsome man is reliable!"
"You child, how can you talk to grandpa like that? Who’s being childish?" Lou Zhaonian muttered as he followed his granddaughter into the car.
Even when they arrived at the event, Lou Zhaonian kept talking.
"Where are your brother and sister-in-law? And my great-grandson? Why haven’t I seen them?"
"They probably aren’t here yet..." Lou Xinyu rarely concerned herself with Lou Xining and Murong Jialan’s affairs, as Murong Jialan always seemed to disapprove of her.
"Oh..." Lou Zhaonian nodded and suddenly fell silent.
Now that he was older, his legs weren’t as nimble, and he needed his granddaughter’s support when walking.
His mind wasn’t as sharp either, occasionally forgetting many things.
Lou Xinyu supported her grandfather as they walked further inside. People around started pointing when they saw it was Lou Xinyu herself.
"Look, that’s the woman who was rejected twice!"
"I know, she’s the one Master Xing Chen dumped five years ago, and five years later she was ditched by the Shang Family’s young master again. Do you think she’s a jinx?"
"Maybe. It’s a pity; she looks pretty decent, and her family background isn’t bad..."
"If you like her, go for it!"
