The Return Of The God Level Assassin

Chapter 951: COMPLETELY SPEECHLESS

When they arrived at the Luo family's house, she was quite surprised. Not because of how big the house was, but because of how simple and homely it looked. It's not what she expected from the family that was considered at the very top of S City.     

Being married to the Mo family for a brief time, she knew just how much the rich enjoyed flaunting their wealth. Even she, who had only been in that world for a short time, was almost blinded by that kind of lifestyle.      

It was even more surprising because she had seen President Luo from afar when Mo Guang Li brought her to one of those high society parties. Her first impression of him was that of a cold and ruthless man. He simply had that air that wouldn't allow anyone to come close. Even his sharp eyes could easily freeze someone on the spot.     

But looking at the other now, Ji Xiuying barely felt that feeling. Right now, she only felt like she was standing before a very amicable father. It wasn't just the homely outfit or the friendly smile, his whole atmosphere was completely different from when she first saw him.      

Or maybe, this was the real him. Because he was in his home, surrounded by his sons, he could relax. There was no need for him to be on guard and show an image of a cold-blooded businessman. Here, in their home, he could just be a loving and supportive father to his sons.     

Seeing him like that, the nervousness that Ji Xiuying was trying so hard to hide finally completely disappeared. Even if Luo Yan and Luo Ren treated her and her daughter warmly, it didn't mean that their father would have the same attitude. But she should have known that it was just useless worry on her part. Because the possibility of a mean-spirited man raising sons like that was close to none.     

"Y-yes, thank you for inviting us, Uncle Wei Tian," Yu Jiao quickly seconded.     

"What's there to thank about?" Luo Wei Tian said, waving his hand as if it's not a big matter. "Xiao Yan has been in Jiao Jiao's care. I'm always thankful that my son has a friend like her."     

Yu Jiao blushed at the sudden compliment.      

Ji Xiuying also smiled. What mother wouldn't like to hear compliments about their daughter?     

"Yan Yan has also been a great friend to Jiao Jiao, so I'm even more grateful," she said. "By the way, I made some egg tarts. It's not much, but I hope President Luo and his sons could enjoy it," she added, her smile much more sincere.      

"Oh, Mrs. Ji shouldn't have bothered," Luo Wei Tian said, taking the food container the other was holding.      

"Dad, the desserts Aunt Xiuying makes are really delicious. I'm sure you'll like it," Luo Yan added with a thumbs-up.     

"Oh, it's an overstatement," Ji Xiuying said, but she was clearly very pleased by the compliment.     

"If it's something that Xiao Yan recommended, I have no doubt that it would be delicious," Luo Wei Tian said.     

After this initial greeting, the two families finally went to the dining room to have lunch.     

-----     

The lunch had been very pleasant. Everyone ate with a hearty feeling. The food was good and the company was even better. So, how could they not enjoy it?     

After the pleasant lunch, Luo Yan, Luo Jin, and Yu Jiao went to the entertainment room to play games. While Luo Wei Tian, Luo Ren, and Ji Xiuying went to the pavilion at the back garden to have tea.      

Luo Ren actually also wanted to join Yu Jiao and the others. But he thought that this was a chance for him to show a good impression to Yu Jiao's mother. Since it might take a long while before an opportunity like this came again. So, he should take the most out of this opportunity.     

"Xiao Ren is only 22?" Ji Xiuying said in a surprised voice. "You seem so mature that I thought you're much older."     

For some reason, the topic of conversation suddenly turned to Luo Ren's age. No, it wasn't really mysteriously changed to that. His father just talked about how proud he was that Luo Ren was able to handle his position at the company magnificently despite being so young. Which in turn resulted to Aunt Xiuying asking about his age. And thus, that last comment appeared.     

"He'll turn 23 this March," Luo Wei Tian said after sipping his tea. "I'm not just saying this because he's my son, but with his skills and hard work, I probably might be able to leave the company to him within five years time."     

Ji Xiuying nodded. She had no doubt of that possibility. Graduating university at 22 and even successfully working as a businessman, young people nowadays couldn't easily achieve that. Or more exactly, wealthy young masters like him didn't have the drive to do so.      

As she had observed, most of these young masters spent the majority of their time playing around and not really doing anything to work hard to achieve some kind of goal. It's because everything was handed to them on a silver platter. So, they don't feel the need to really put an effort into anything. That's why most of them graduated university very late.          

With this, it could be easily seen that Luo Ren was very different from most wealthy young masters. In a good way, of course.      

Luo Ren saw the admiration in Aunt Xiuying's eyes. He suddenly felt embarrassed. It's because he was planning to show a good impression towards the other, but before he could even begin, his father started 'advertising' him like some rare, expensive product.     

"That's why I'm sure that our Ah Ren here will make a very good husband," his father said out of nowhere, even patting Luo Ren's shoulder. "He's handsome, smart, dilligent, thoughtful, and kind. What more can one ask for?"     

When he saw his father looking at him as if asking, 'I'm doing a great job, right?', Luo Ren became completely speechless.
