BXBX NOVEL Chapter 136 A Great Actor
After Andrew told him about Mark and Daniel approaching Zhen-Zhen, Tristan knew that those two cousins of his just meant troubles. He knew the grudges they bore against him. He just hoped that they would stay away from Zhen-Zhen.
But hearing the warning from Andrew, Tristan had understood that Mark and Daniel didn't approach Zhen-Zhen for just a friendly conversation. He didn't know what they were plotting this time but he was aware that those two men were good at scheming against him.
He couldn't tolerate them anymore so Tristan went back to the banquet hall together with Zhen-Zhen to face those two evil cousins of his. Since some of the family members were still inside, Tristan decided to reveal the evil deeds of his two cousins.
He wanted to give them a lesson. They already ruined his reputation. He won't allow them to involve Zhen-Zhen with their conflict.
'If they dare touch and target my wife then I swear I will not be forgiving this time. I will give them the taste of my wrath.' Tristan thought to himself as they were walking towards the banquet hall. He had a serious expression on his face.
Andrew and Hannah also decided to return to the hall, following Zhen-Zhen and Tristan behind. Hannah's eyes were fixed on the entangled hands of Tristan and Zhen-Zhen. She couldn't help but feel bitter inside.
When Tristan and Zhen-Zhen arrived inside the banquet hall, Tristan's eyes roamed around the venue, searching for his target. He saw them drinking at their table together with their other cousins.
The Elders of the Davis family were also present. Tristan's lips curled up into a smirk when he found the opportunity to strike.
Tristan called the attention of Matthew and the Twins who were busy conversing with each other.
"Hey, where have you been? How's your talk with Grandpa Lu?" Matthew asked Tristan with intrigue.
"It went well, isn't it? Did you explain everything to grandpa the reason why you came late tonight?" Blake also joined the conversation.
"That's true. He was fuming with rage a while ago. Did he scold you?" Jake chuckled as he remembered the ugly expression of Grandpa Lu while waiting for Tristan's arrival.
Tristan looked at them helplessly. They bombarded them with so many questions, not allowing him to speak first.
Meanwhile, Zhen-Zhen was just watching the four men silently. She was fascinated by their closeness. The four of them looked like real brothers who always had each other's back.
Tristan gave them a triumphant smile before answering their question one by one.
"Yes, I explained everything to Grandpa. He didn't scold me. I played a pitiful act in front of him. I used the freezing of my credit card as the reason why we were late. I requested him to reactivate my cards and shamelessly asked him for extravagant gifts for my wedding." Tristan burst out laughing after saying that.
Matthew, Jake, and Blake gave him a strange look.
"Cousin, you are truly shameless! What a great actor?" Blake blurted out suddenly.
"Don't tell me Grandpa Lu believed that lame excuse? As far as I know, even if Grandpa Lu froze your credit cards you have still a lot of savings in your personal bank accounts!" Jake exclaimed in disbelief.
Matthew just sighed deeply while shaking his head. Matthew knew that Tristan intentionally came late tonight because he wanted to avoid early confrontation with his parents and Grandpa Lu.
He knew that they won't stop pestering him the moment they saw Lillie with him. They would try to interrogate him until they got the answer they wanted. So Tristan decided to come minutes before the program started.
Tristan shrugged his shoulders. "Hmmm, I don't know. But it seemed like Grandpa Lu believed that lame excuse."
"So, did he agree to reactivate your credit card?" Jake asked him curiously.
"Nope. He said he will think about it first. I don't mind." Tristan simply stated. Then he turned to the twins.
"By the way, I need your help. There are two people here I need to teach a lesson." He said to them meaningfully. A cold glint flashed through his eyes.
Jake and Blake exchanged glances with each other before nodding at him. Before explaining everything to the twins, Tristan faced Zhen-Zhen.
"I have some important matters to do. My cousins and I will just talk to the elders and the other family members. Wifey, will you stay with Matthew for a while? Can you wait for me here? This will not take long. After this, we will go home."
"Is everything alright?" Zhen-Zhen asked him in puzzlement.
Tristan gave her a reassuring smile. "Yes, everything is just fine."
"Alright, I understand. Matthew and I will just wait for you here." Zhen-Zhen promptly responded with a faint smile on her face.
Matthew also nodded at Tristan. He somehow grasped the situation. He knew that Tristan was referring to his cousins, Mark and Daniel when he said that there were two people inside he needed to teach a lesson.
Matthew understood that Tristan didn't want Zhen-Zhen to witness the family drama that was about to happen, that's why he told her to wait instead of bringing her to talk to his family.
"Lillie, let's go to the pool side. There is a good view there. We can spend our time there while waiting for Tristan," Matthew suggested to her.
"Really? Sure, let's go. I want to see it."
When Matthew and Zhen-Zhen went out of the banquet hall, Tristan heaved a sigh of relief. He felt at ease since Zhne-Zhen was with Matthew.
"So, are we going to a war now?" Jake said, putting his arm around Tristan's shoulder.
"How can we help you? I'm dying to beat those two evil cousins of ours." Blake asked him, his eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.
Tristan just let out a soft chuckle before he told them what he wanted to do. Jake and Blake gave him a thumbs up. They liked Tristan's plan. Now, the three of them were off to execute it as they marched towards the elders.
