Ten Years of Yearning. My Love, Let Me Protect You.

Chapter 171 - 171 Luo Qintian's Will...

"You should have told me earlier." Luo Lixiang said. He swiftly turned around. 

"Just some dogs guarding the door. What is there to be so proud of?!" Luo Lixiang insulted them on their faces. 

The two men froze as they didn't think he would say something of that sort. 

No one would insult bodyguards. Sometimes your life will depend on them in tricky situations.

He went down the stairs and didn't see any servants. 'Anyone there?' 

He searched the first floor but didn't find anyone. 'Where is butler Huo?' Luo Lixiang glanced around and didn't find anybody else.

Finally he took out his phone and called someone. The caller ID was butler Huo. 

The phone rang for a few minutes but nobody picked it up. 'Why isn't this old man picking up my phone? Who on earth dared to take away my clothes?'

The situation was becoming very odd to him. 

Luo Lixiang was frowning with puzzlement. He felt an eye on his back but when he turned around, he didn't see anyone. Even when the man lifted his eyes, there was no one on the second floor.

Sheng Ruming was staring at Luo Lixiang from upstairs. His eyes were cold and there was the hidden intention to murder the man who was standing alone on the middle of the ground.

Because he was standing at a corner, also an object which was blocking the man's sight, Luo Lixiang didn't see Sheng Ruming.

Soon, sounds of footsteps were heard. "We should have come in the mansion earlier. It's already dawn. Also your body is weak. What if you fell ill severely?" Aunt Zhu said worriedly.

"I won't. My granddaughter has finally returned. Just wait for the night to pass. This old man will get well soon." Luo Qintian said. Aunt Zhu noticed the slight change in the old man's voice.

Luo Lixiang doubted the things he heard just now. 'Granddaughter? Who?...'

As Luo Lixiang turned around, his eyes met with a pair of familiar eyes. Luo Lixi didn't blink even once at Luo Lixiang. 

All sorts of emotions could be seen from those beautiful black eyes of hers except gentleness she yes in the past.

"Sister…." Luo Lixiang murmured. The group of people finally had the time to notice the man standing in a grey business suite in the middle of the hall room.

Luo Lixi grabbed Luo Qintian's hand firmly as they approached him. 

"Clear the way." Luo Qintian hardened his face as soon as the silhouette of his insolent grandchild came in view.

"You have finally come. We have been waiting for you." The words sounded very intimate but the tone by which the old spoke, made Aunt Zhu flinch in fear. 

At that time, Luo Lixiang became confused. 'She's alive…'

The man turned at Luo Lixi but she dodged his sight and looked somewhere else.

"Grandfather…" Luo Lixiang greeted the old man as he moved to the side. He saw as the old man went to the couch and sat on it, with the majestic cane in his hand. 

"Come, Xixi. Sit beside grandfather." He patted the right side. Luo Lixi silently went ahead and sat down without making a sound.

The lady coldly stared at her brother but didn't have any intention to talk.

When Luo Lixiang thought of going towards them, Luo Qintian spoke out. "You, just stand there. No need to come here."

"Grandfather, I…" 

Luo Qintian hardened his expression when Luo Lixiang wanted to explain something. 

The man knew the old man was displeased because he didn't like to say a matter twice. Thus he became silent and turned to stare at the floor.

"Lawyer Bo will be coming in a while." When Luo Lixiang heard that he clenched his fists harder as his expression couldn't remain calm anymore. 'As expected.'

Luo Qintian looked at the grandson of his. Years of displeasure that was stored in his heart, finally got the chance to come out. 

Luo Lixiang saw the once forgotten expression of his grandfather, the loathing in his grandfather's eyes finally came back. He felt his heart drop.

"What have you told grandfather?!" Luo Lixiang couldn't stay still and at the sudden impulse, he shouted at Luo Lixi. 

His voice was very rude, making Luo Lixi flustered in her seat.

Sheng Ruming's eyes darkened when he saw this scene. 'Don't let me catch you later.'

"Insolent brat! How dare you raise your voice before me?" At Luo Qintian's booming anger, Luo Lixiang stopped pointing at Luo Lixi. He seemed as if he woke up from a trance just now.

"Grandfather, let me explain…" Luo Lixiang calmed down and stepped one foot towards him but the old man instantly shouted. 

"Yichen, don't let this degenerate come near us! God knows what he will do next!" 

Zhao Yichen immediately got behind Luo Lixiang and placed his hand on his shoulder.

"I won't, grandfather!" Luo Lixiang didn't hold back and turned at Luo Lixi. There was an unspeakable glint in them.

Aunt Zhu covered her mouth when such foreign behaviour of her lovely young master came before her eyes. 

Luo Lixi stared blankly. From the corner of her eyes, she saw Sheng Ruming looking down and the man was displeased.

"Huh! I should have sent you to a boarding school back then. Under a harsh environment, you would have become at least a human!" The old man flared in fury. 

Soon, some people came into the mansion. At a glance, Lawyer Bo knew the atmosphere was very stiff and tense. But he was surprised when he saw Luo Lixiang was forced by two men to kneel on the ground.

"Elder Luo." He bowed before Luo Qintian. "As per your instructions, I have come with my team."

"Hmm. You can announce my will here."

"Alright." The several men who came here all began to take out documents and started to open their files. 

Sheng Ruming narrowed his eyes and turned around. He didn't have the mood to witness the scene anymore.
