BXBX NOVEL Chapter 309 Tough Competition
"Yeah, I accepted the invitation since I will be able to see my granddaughter there."
"Really, Grandpa? Yey. Grandpa will also attend the party. I know it is gonna be fun!" Zhen-Zhen responded with so much excitement in her voice.
Tristan\'s eyes lit up upon hearing that. Then his lips curled up into a mischievous smile.
"Grandpa! I wanna come with you. I will also bring Matthew with me!"
Everyone looked at Tristan suspiciously.
"Why do you want to come? You are not invited!"
"Hmm, because I want to be with my wife during the party. What if many college boys will try to bug her? I need to protect her from them." Tristan stated matter-of-factly.
Andrew and Isabelle couldn\'t help but laugh because of Tristan\'s possessiveness.
"Brother, I am afraid that Lillie will not be able to enjoy the party if you are there," Andrew said, teasing Tristan.
Tristan shot Andrew a cold sharp glare before turning to Zhen-Zhen with his pleading eyes. "Wifey, tell them that you also want me to attend the party and accompany you."
Zhen-Zhen giggled, patting Tristan\'s head. "Yes, Hubby. It will be fun if you are there too."
"Eh, then why are you bringing Matthew with you?" Lucas asked Tristan inquisitively.
Tristan didn\'t answer him. He just smiled at his father meaningfully.
\'Because I am planning to tease and ship him with Sophia. I think Matthew has a crush on Sophia.\'
Tristan turned to Grandpa Lu. "Grandpa, can I attend on your behalf? Just draft your message and I will deliver it for you."
"NO! NO! I only have one invitation. I want to attend it myself." Grandpa Lu refused, glaring at Tristan.
"But Grandpa, I thought you don\'t want to attend a party like this. The president kept on inviting you before but you always rejected his invitation. You were always sending Assistant Twig to attend on your behalf."
Lucas and Isabelle nodded their heads. They could also remember how Grandpa Lu was always rejecting this kind of invitation. But this time, it\'s different. He finally accepted the invitation.
"Are you not listening to me? I said this time I am attending because Lillie is also attending. Hmm. If you want an invitation then ask the event organizer or the president. This is a great chance to attend this party together with my granddaughter-in-law. I will never give you my invitation. NEVER!"
Tristan: "..."
Andrew: "..."
Isabelle: "..."
Lucas: "..."
Zhen-Zhen: *Smiling*
Andrew leaned on Tristan and whispered something. "I think grandpa is also one of your competitors when it comes to your wife, brother. Good luck. It\'s tough competition. He dotes so much on Lillie, compared to us."
Andrew chuckled when he saw Tristan\'s contorted face as he looked daggers at Grandpa Lu. Tristan could only sigh deeply. Grandpa Lu would never give in this time.
Then an idea popped up in Tristan\'s mind. He immediately turned to his wife who was sitting on his right side. He was sitting in the middle of Andrew and Zhen-Zhen.
"Wifey, please help me convince, Grandpa. I want to attend the party too. Matthew also needs to attend because he is always tired and stressed at work. He has to relax for a while and this party will be a great help to him." Tristan said to Zhen-Zhen, in a low voice.
Zhen-Zhen bobbed her head. She also liked the idea of Matthew and Tristan coming to the party.
"Grandpa…" she called Grandpa Lu softly.
"Yes, Lillie?" Grandpa Lu was very gentle whenever he would talk to Zhen-Zhen, unlike Tristan. He was always scolding him with his stern cold voice.
"Is there a way for Tristan and Matthew to attend the party as well? I think it will be more fun if we are all together. The more the merrier, do you agree grandpa?" Zhen-Zhen was politely asking Grandpa Lu.
Grandpa Lu shot Tristan a cold glare. He knew that his sneaky grandson asked Lillie\'s help to convince him. Since it was a request coming from his favorite granddaughter-in-law, Grandpa Lu had no choice but to fulfill it.
"Ok, dear. Don\'t worry, I will talk to the president of your school to give me three invitations to this big event."
"Yey, Thank you, grandpa!"
"Anything for my granddaughter-in-law!"
Tristan: "..."
Andrew: "..."
Isabelle: "..."
Lucas: "..."
They couldn\'t believe that Grandpa Lu gave in to Zhen-Zhen\'s request just like that. They could really see the great difference in treatment.
Just a while ago, he blatantly rejected Tristan\'s request but only one word from Lillie, Grandpa Lu changed his mind right away!
This time it was Tristan who leaned closer to Andrew.
"Hey, Andrew, do you think we are just an adopted grandson? Why do I feel like my wife is the one who is blood-related to our grandpa, not us? Or maybe our parents just adopted him as our grandpa, what do you think?"
"Pfft… Hahaha." Andrew couldn\'t hold his laughter after hearing Tristan\'s ridiculous remarks. He almost choked from laughing too much.
Because Andrew\'s laughter was contagious, Tristan also ended up laughing.
Grandpa Lu, Lucas, Isabelle, and Zhen-Zhen watched Andrew and Tristan who were laughing hard in front of them.
"What is funny?" Grandpa Lu asked them both.
Tristan and Andrew exchanged meaningful glances with one another, then laughed again before answering Grandpa Lu.
Tristan gave Andrew a warning look, asking him not to tell them what he had just said.
"No, grandpa. Tristan just told me a very funny joke," Andrew covered up for Tristan.
Tristan nodded his head frantically to support Andrew\'s statement.
But unknown to them, Zhen-Zhen heard Tristan\'s words. Since Grandpa Lu was the one who asked the question, Zhen-Zhen decided to tell them what she heard.
"Grandpa, Tristan said to Andrew whether they are just adopted grandsons of yours or the other way around. They thought Dad and Mom adopted you as Andrew and Tristan\'s grandfather."
Grandpa Lu: "..."
Lucas: "..."
Isabelle: "..."
Tristan: \'I\'m doomed!\'
Andrew chuckled and said to Tristan teasingly. "I told you. It will be tough competition. See, even your wife betrayed you for grandpa."
