BXBX NOVEL Chapter 79 Grandpa Lu's Command
"Everyone here can throw me all the insults. I can accept that. But don't you ever say a single bad word about that woman. You don't have the right to judge her. You don't even know her. Just wanna clear this to all of you here… including you, Andrew! SHE IS NOT A SLUT. SHE IS NOT A CHEAP WOMAN!"",
Everyone present in that room was rendered speechless by Tristan's sudden outburst of anger. Tristan was d@mn serious this time. He emphasized his last two sentences, defending Zhen-Zhen's name.",
Even Mrs. Miller who was spouting a lot of insults about Zhen-Zhen a while became tongue-tied. For an unknown reason, she felt frightened by Tristan's cold and chilly aura.",
Even grandpa Lu was amused to see Tristan so furious as this. This was the first time he saw his grandson acting like ths in front of the elders. That's why Grandpa Lu was really fascinated to see this side of his grandson.",
He might be a naughty punk but he never ever raised his voice against his elders. He respected them most. Even if the two of them would have an argument or fight, Tristan would never yell or scream at his grandpa.",
'I didn't expect that he would stand up for his woman. Now, I become more curious and intrigue by that lady.' Grandpa Lu thought to himself as he was silently assessing his grandson, wondering what Tristan would do next.",
Without waiting for the others to say a word, Tristan marched out quickly, leaving them astounded in that room. He needed to go out as soon as possible or else his anger would not go down if he stayed there. ",
That's the only way he could think of to cool himself down and gather his heightened emotions. In the first place, he didn't want to disrespect his elders. After all they were still Hannah's parents and Davis Family Close Friends. He was also considering the feelings of his grandpa Lu and his parents.",
However, Tristan failed to control himself. His protective instinct for Zhen-Zhen just acted up the moment he heard those negative words and accusations Mrs. Miller was throwing against Zhen-Zhen.",
He couldn't accept it. How dare she call his innocent Zhen-Zhen a cheap and slut woman? It was his fault, not Zhen-Zhen. He would prefer to receive those insults, he didn't mind. But hearing those words attacking the innocent girl, that was the breaking point of his patience…. and his bottomline.",
'F*ck! This is my fault!' Tristan cursed himself inwardly.",
"Argh! I want to see her. I needed to see Zhen-Zhen now." Tristan mumbled to himself as he rushed out of their family mansion.",
Meanwhile, the people whom Tristan left in the mini-office were still having mixed emotions about what had just happened. They were really surprised about his action.",
Andrew didn't know why but he agreed on Tristan. Those words 'Slut' and 'Cheap' didn't suit her. It didn't even cross his mind to call her like that. That's what Andrew was thinking. He also thought that Mrs. Miller went overboard this time. Andrew somehow felt a pang of guilt deep down his heart.",
Cough! Cough!",
Lucas cleared his throat. He was the one who first spoke up after the moment of deafening silence.",
"This was the reason why I told everyone to listen to Tristan's explanation first. This talk ended up into another argument, instead of resolving the issue." Tristan and Andrew's father sighed deeply after saying those words.",
Hannah had no words to say. She was a little bit embarrassed because of her mother's action. She shouldn't have ranted on Tristan like that. Her action made the situation worse.",
Mr. Miller nudged his wife to apologize but he only received a glare as a response. Mr. Miller looked at his wife helplessly and turned to the Davis Family. ",
"I want to apologize for my wife's action a while ago. She was just venting her frustration. It was a mother's instinct to defend her daughter's happiness. I hope everyone can understand that. Isabelle, you are also a mother too." Mr. Miller apologized and at the time, he justified his wife's action.",
Isabelle, Tristan's mother, heaved a deep sigh after hearing that. "I know. But I think we are very quick to judge Tristan and that woman. We should have listened to his explanation just like my husband's suggestion."",
Mrs. Miller refused to back down and so she reacted. "What kind of explanation are we expecting to hear from him? Tristan would just deny it. Andrew's words and this video were enough evidence that Tristan was scheming against Hannah and Andrew. He clearly wanted to break them apart!"",
This time Grandpa Lu could no longer keep his silence so he finally intervened.",
"Mr. and Mrs. Miller, you don't have to worry. I will talk to him myself. I can punish him for his inappropriate behavior so don't concern yourself too much about Tristan. Let's not make this a big issue. After all, we are all part of one family here." Grandpa Lu said. He didn't want to escalate this issue.",
After saying that, Grandpa Lu averted his gaze towards Andrew and Hannah.",
"And as for Hannah and Andrew, if their love is really strong for each other, I think this kind of scheme will not really work. Hannah and Andrew should not be bothered by this. What you need to do is to trust each other and remain faithful to each other."",
Andrew: "Yes grandpa, we understand."",
Hannah: "Thank you, Grandpa Lu. I want to say sorry for giving you and our parents hassle and for troubling you over this matter. I think the three of us should have talked it out first, me, Andrew and Tristan."",
Isabelle couldn't stop herself from commenting and sharing her thoughts with the couple.",
"That's true. So if ever one of you will somehow commit a mistake in the future, then learn to forgive and let your love for each other win. Take our relationship as an example. Despite the love of my husband for me, he still committed a mistake. But since I love him so much I learned to forgive and accept him." Isabelle was talking to Andrew's Mother and Lucas's mistake.",
She had no intention of offending Andrew. She was genuine in giving the couple her honest and meaningful advice.",
After a while, everyone left Grandpa Lu's mini-office. Only Grandpa Lu and his assistant remained inside.",
"With all due respect, Chairman. May I know what are you thinking right now?" Assistant Twig asked Grandpa Lu curiously as he noticed that he was lost in his thoughts.",
"Are you thinking that Young Master Tristan just pretended to be angry a while ago so that he could escape and avoid this confrontation?" Assistant Twig added, wondering what Grandpa Lu was thinking about this situation.",
"No. I don't think he's bluffing. I knew him well. He was really mad at that time." Grandpa Lu promptly said with certainty.",
"What are you planning to do now? Will you really punish Young Master Tristan? Do you also believe that he schemed against Andrew?"",
"Hmm. I'm not sure if he really did it or not. For now, I will do nothing. That's my punishment for him. I will let him resolve this issue by himself. I'm not gonna help him clear his name either. I know that video already ruined his reputation and will have a negative effect on him as the CEO of Heavenly Star Enterprise. I want to know what he is gonna do now."",
Assistant Twig just nodded at his remarks.",
"But if he will beg his grandpa to help him, who am I to refuse him? It is seldom for my grandson to ask help from me," Grandpa Lu added with a mischievous smile on his face.",
Assistant Twig couldn't help but chuckle. He knew it. His boss still had a soft spot for his naughty grandson. He didn't want him to be in trouble. ",
In fact, he wanted Tristan to depend on him even once. Tristan became independent at his early age. That started when he blamed his family for his mischief in love… for bringing Andrew in the family thus losing Hannah.",
"But I want you to take down that video as soon as possible. I don't want other people to see the pitiful look of my grandson who is still heartbroken because of his first love. And find out who spread that video on the internet." Grandpa Lu gave his command. He didn't want to admit but he was still worried about Tristan.",
"Okay, Chairman. I will handle that right away." Assistant Twig responded immediately.",
Assistant Twig was about to leave Grandpa Lu's mini-office to follow his order when suddenly he called him out once again, thus stopping him.",
"Assistant Twig, can you also ask someone to investigate the background of that girl whom Tristan brought with him in Oceaniz City?" Grandpa Lu requested his assistant once again. There was a gleam in his eyes as he thought about that woman.",
"Noted, Chairman."",
