Chapter 3 - To Marry You Off With Old Lady Mo’s Grandson...
When Sia reached the dining hall, her eyes almost popped out looking at the table full of her favorite dishes at the same time, her little tummy also started to growl in hunger. Not waiting any longer, she went to the table where here family members were already waiting for her. Sitting in her designated seat, she looked at the little banquet and grinned widely. Well aware of who had prepared the little banquet, Sia looked up at her brother and said gratefully "Oh brother…thank you soo much…I love you"
Being praised by his baby sister, Jane Rao could not stop grinning at all and looked proudly at his father. After fighting with the old master, Sean Rao was already displeased but now looking at the proud smile on his son's face he felt even more displeased and almost lost his apetite. If not because of his daughter, he would have already started a rampage.
Throughout the dinner, instead of eating their plates the four people only concentrated on Sia and kept filling her bowl, urging her to eat a little more. Even though Sia did not have much appetite, she still ate a lot because of her family. It was not until she could not eat anymore did the four people at the dining table finally stopped filling her bowl and concentrated on their plates.
After having her dinner, Sia walked to the living room and crashed on the sofa with a tired look. rubbing her tummy which was filled to the brim, she sighed in satisfaction.
Afraid of indigestion, just when Sia thought to take a short walk in her garden, her father and grandfather rushed to her followed by two maids who were carrying a few things in their hand. Sitting at the either side, the father and son pair were almost competing with each other to impress their little one.
Looking at the gifts that her grandfather and father gifted her, Sia felt her lips twitch. Because of her grandfathers and fathers love towards her, she had accumulated properties worth of several millions, which even her brother did not have. Her car garage which was specially built for her had all kinds of limited edition cars parked inside. Because she rarely went out, she had not used any car more than twice.
Back to the present, sitting at the either side, the father and son were busy arguing on who would take their little princes outside without even asking Sia's opinion
"Baby, tomorrow is Sunday. Would you like to accompany father to golf course?"
"Baby, don't listen to your father. It's been a long time, play chess with me"
Displeased, Sean Rao continued to pester "No, father I already told you. I'm going to take my daughter to play golf with me…she is not going to play that boring game with you"
Before Old master Rao could retort, Jane Rao walked in and said "Sia is not going anywhere, she is coming with me tomorrow. You old people don't know anything about the current generation"
Speechless, it took a while for the old master and master to speak. "No," both of them said at a time.
"Huh? Why?" Jane Rao asked curiously
"Hmph….what if you bring your idiotic friend and what if they fall for your sister? No way am I going to let my daughter go with you"
"Uhh…" before Jane Rao could speak, Old master Rao said unhurriedly
"Even if you are bringing girls you're not allowed to take her!"
"Why?"
"What if they fall for my granddaughter? Your mother is an example for that"
"Father.." Sean Rao called out with a pout
Looking at his son from the corner of his eyes, Old master Rao scoffed "What, ain't I telling the truth? Your wife blushes more for your daughter's sweet words than yours. Be happy she's your daughter or else she would have ran away with your wife a long back"
"Father…" before Sean Rao could speak, he was once again interrupted.
"Okay, enough you both" Mrs. Rao said as she walked towards Sia holding a plate of chocolate cake. Looking at the delicious cake, Sia's eyes once again sparkled brightly. Taking the plate full of cake from her mother, Sia started to munch on it happily.
Patting her daughter's head slightly, Mrs. Rao sat on the opposite side of the sofa and said "Enough of the childish act. It is time to speak about something serious"
"Serious? What is it, mom?" Sia finally opened her mouth to ask after being quiet for so long.
"It's about your late grandmother's promise"
Hearing that it was about her grandmother, Sia's interest picked up and she looked at her mother curiously while the others hurriedly said "No…"
Glaring at the three-generation, Elina Rao warned "Don't interrupt me"
"No..Elina, there is no need to talk about this so-called promise. I'm not agreeing with it no matter what" Old Master Rao said in displeasure.
Not at all offended, Mrs. Rao explained patiently "Father don't forget that it's mothers last wish. It is only right for us to full fill it. I'm just informing her in advance"
Listening to Mrs. Rao's reminder, old master Rao no longer said anything but it was Jane Rao who spoke "But mom Sia is still young"
"Jane, don't forget that we have only one year left in hand"
After hearing to Mrs. Ran, Sean Rao couldn't help but ask "Dear that's fine but don't we still have a year in our hand"
"Dear, rather than telling this a day before why not tell it now so that Sia can prepare herself?"
After Hearing Mrs. Rao's explanation, everyone accepted that it was only right for her to speak about it now.
"Mom, what's the matter? Why do you guys look soo serious? What was promised that Grandpa made before she passed?"
"Well…. do you remember Old lady Mu?"
"Hmm..yeah, isn't she grandma's old friend?"
"Yeah, it's her. Before your grandma passed away she promised something to Old lady Mu"
"Oh..what was that?"
"To Marry you off with old lady Mo's grandson, Mu Jun"
