To Love You Again

Chapter 419 - A good scolding

"Grandma!"

The two sisters called out at the same time.

Mistress Tang walked to them, raised her hand, and squeezed Tang Xinyang\'s ears hard.

"Ah! Ah! Ouch, ouch! Ouch! Grandma!"

Mistress Tang finally let go but she was not done yet. She smacked Tang Xinyang\'s butt crisply.

Smack!

Li Jun who was standing at the side: "...."

"Owww!!! Grandma! Why are you doing this?! What did I do wrong?!"

"You are asking me? You are just asking me now!? You unfilial child! How could you beg someone so, so wretchedly?! And actually throw such a bomb at us! Am I even your grandmother, or I am just a stranger like the guests here, totally shocked with all this as well?! What are you planning, you unfilial child!"

Tang Xinyang was scared off by her grandmother\'s scolding and beating. The strength which those old hands contained was nothing to scoff at.

She pouted her lips and inadvertently teared up. "I\'m sorry, I\'m sorry! I just wanted to help!"

Mistress Tang wanted to scold her more but finally remembered that Lu Jin was still at her side.

She coughed unnaturally and looked sharply at Tang Xinyang. "I will stop at this for now, but we are not done yet, young lady." Next, she looked at Tang Yin. "Tang Yin!"

"Y-Yes!" Tang Yin straightened up. She, too, was scared off by her grandmother\'s might. She did not want to get smacked in front of other people like her elder sister!

"Do you know anything of this?"

"I\'m innocent, grandmother! I was almost shocked to death earlier! I just got dragged into this!"

Tang Xinyang secretly glared at her little sister.

This little traitor... It\'s your fault in the first place! Cleaning your hands now?! ＼(≧?≦＼)

Tang yin: I\'m sorry, sister, but I already got enough smacking when I ran off before. TT_TT

"Is that so? How about the poor gentleman you dragged earlier into this?"

Hearing the elder lady\'s question, Lu Jin\'s ears perked up although his face remained expressionless.

This was the reason why he purposely escorted Mistress Tang back to the front seats.

To know what relationship these two sisters had towards his brother, and what was going on with the earlier farce.

"Ah, you don\'t have to worry about it grandma. I got Lu Yin Ze\'s permission before this."

"Heh~, you mean by begging him? Almost kneeling in front of him? And hugging his knees? "

Tang Xinyang paled. Her grandmother saw that?

"Are you trying to get rid of your surname Tang?!"

Mistress Tang was really angry. She totally lost face. Especially since it was not only her alone who witnessed the whole embarrassing situation, but also the first young master of the Lu family!

Still, she reminded herself that she had to control herself from truly bashing this unfilial child. After scolding her unfilial granddaughter, she calmed herself down and turned to the gentleman beside her. "Forgive me, First Young Master Lu. My granddaughters did such an outrageous thing to your younger brother. We will compensate him and send a letter of apology to Master Lu. We will clarify that we do not mean anything with this matter. It is just my granddaughter\'s mistake."

The two sisters were stunned, finally realizing who the iceberg gentleman was.

L-Lu Jin!

The mysterious first young master of the Lu family that they had never seen before! They both eyed him up and down.

Tang Yin: Wo-ow! He look handsome! This mysterious, cold yet onyx black aura! Perfect for an, icy devilish, and handsome villain!

Tang Xinyang: This guy... He\'s strong. I can\'t gauge his whole strength. Are we in the same level? Or is he stronger than me?

Lu Jin showed no response at their scrutinizing eyes. He simply replied to Mistress Tang.

"I\'m not my brother, so there\'s nothing to forgive about. Also, it would be more effective to give the message to our elder personally instead."

Mistress Tang nodded. She indeed planned to meet Old Lu to explain the whole situation and the possible \'problems\' that her granddaughter had cooked up. She simply told Lu Jin out of courtesy.

As the head of the mighty Tang family, she was naturally aware of a few inside stories of the other families. She knew that Lu Jin and Old Lu did not have a very good relationship.

"I will. I am just ashamed to let you see how my granddaughters behaved."

Lu Jin kept quiet and did not comment. Instead, he bowed to Mistress Tang. "Then, if you\'ll excuse, I\'ll take my leave. I thank Mistress Tang for giving me company tonight."

"Likewise. Please be careful on your way."

Lu Jin finally left. All throughout, he did not even glance or say a single world towards the other two women.

When the man was gone, the two girls finally realized that they just got ignored.

"Did he...see us?" Tang Yin confirmed stupidly. Surely, that Lu Jin was not blind, was he? He did not even greet the birthday celebrant.

"...Duh. Of course. He deliberately ignored us on purpose. But why?" Tang Xinyang frowned. Was this man looking down on her?

"He-he." Mistress Tang clapped her hands. "You two! You made me lose my face earlier!"

The two girls\' minds returned to their current situation, winced, and tried to pacify their almighty grandmother with sweet words. However, Mistress Tang remained steadfast.

"I will not be swayed by your fake smiles! Bring me to Second Young Master Lu, I need to apologize to him."

"Grandma! You don\'t need to! Lu Yin Ze understands!" Tang Xinyang loved her grandma so much that she could not bear to let her bow her head twice today.

"He is magnanimous, indeed. But I\'m not! You still don\'t understand how much trouble it will cause him? I have to apologize for your rash actions. Bring me to him!"

The elder and the granddaughters performed a tug of war for a while when finally, Mistress Tang threatened in annoyance. "If you still don\'t bring me to him, I will announce tomorrow that Jang Shin is Tang Yin\'s fiancé!"

Gasp!

"Grandma, you can\'t!"

"Grandma! Are you insane!"

Mistress Tang stubbornly glared.

Tang Xinyang finally relented. "Fine! I will kowtow with you!"

"I will too! After all, it started because of me," Tang Yin helplessly added.

Mistress Tang\'s face finally softened for a bit. "Alright. Lead the way."

The three women of the Tang family made their way to Lu Yin Ze\'s table.
