2 months later.Surprisingly, Mi Rong got along with grandma Feng easily. They both shared so many interests together. As Mi Rong came from the past, she was also quite ancient headed. Both loved playing Go, taking care of the garden, fis.h.i.+ng, calligraphy, and what they loved most was drinking tea.
Over the past month, Xia Yun had been occupied with her coffee shop. There was only a few days left until her shop would open. From time to time, Mi Rong would help Xia Yun out with anything she could. Occasionally, Xia Yun would join Mi Rong to go meet grandma Feng together.
When the three were together, they would cook many different menus and once they were done; they would rest their tired legs to sit down and enjoy the food made by everyone. The workers there were very glad to see grandma Feng happy again. Ever since that time, she had been quite down.
In a study room. An elderly lady was sitting in behind a big working desk with some doc.u.ments. Grandma Feng had her cla.s.ses on and was going through all of the doc.u.ments that her secretary gave to her today. A tray of unfinished food was laying beside her. She didn"t have any appet.i.te for her lunch, but to take care of her old body, she ate some.
Then out of no where, a slim figure appeared in front of grandma Feng. The lady was wearing all black and only her tigress eyes were shown. However, before grandma Feng she meekly greeted her master.
Then she opened her mouth and said,"Chairwoman, excuse me."
"Hm? What is it Chun Fang?" Grandma spoke while her eyes were still going through the doc.u.ments. Ever since her useless son became the new chairman, he was lazily like a pig. She would have thought that the Feng corporation would have fallen if not for her grandson. Sigh.
"Uh, the CEO is coming this evening mam."
"Oh, Jun Kai? Is he bringing little Qing Qing with him?"
"Yes mam."
"Ho ho, of course he would."
"Mam, what should we do about your meeting today with Miss Mi Rong?"
Grandma Feng smiled sneakily, "Does Jun Kai know that she"s here?"
"No mam, I"ve taken down many of the spies sir Jun Kai has replaced, and only let some who would cooperate with us return to report the news you wanted mam."
"Good good."
"Also, mam what about the Xuan enterprise"s auction that is held next month? Are you personally going to join it?"
"Oh no. I"ll let Jun Kai do it. I"m too old for anymore business."
"Um, mam are you really not going to look up more of Miss Mi Rong"s background?"
When Chun Fang finished speaking, the room turned chilly and grandma Feng"s expression became dark. No matter how many years has past, but a tigress is always a tigress.
Seeing grandma Feng getting angry, Chun Fang regretted saying it. "Mam, I"m sorry."
"Hm, go finish what you need to do. Just leave Mi Rong alone, only protect her from afar."
"Yes mam." The Chun Feng quickly left the room.
Not long after Chun Feng was gone, a knock came to the door. "Chairwoman, Miss Mi Rong is here."
It was the housekeeper who had come to inform grandma Feng. He had been following the Feng family for many years and had been loyal to them.
"Oh, alright. Tell her to wait in the garden. Also, prepare some tea, I"ll be right there."
"Yes mam."
...
In the garden.
Xia Yun had just finished baking this matcha cake and wanted to let grandma Feng try. She couldn"t come personally, so she asked Mi Rong to deliver it to grandma Feng.
At the side of a pond there was an old Chinese styled dock, inside Mi Rong was sitting patiently with a warm matcha cake on the tea table. Beside her, a snowy white dog was sitting idly. Xiao Bai was also introduced to grandma Feng and he was very much loved by her. Xiao Bai was also very fond of the old lady as she was like a n.o.ble person from the past.
While they were waiting, Xiao Bai decided to discuss matters of their upcoming auction, "Mi Rong, this time it seems the Feng corporation is joining. However, we are unsure if they are here for good or to cause trouble."
"Hm."
"And also, I heard the new CEO was..." But before Xiao Bai could finish his sentence, grandma Feng arrived.
"I"m sorry for making you two wait. Hmm, I smell something delicious. Did Xia Yun bake something today as well?"
Mi Rong use telepathy to Xiao Bai and said "Let"s talk later."
Then, she turned towards grandma Feng, "Grandma, come over. Xia Yun especially made it for you to try."
"That good girl. Also, Mi Rong would it be fine if you could use your skills and brew me some of your lovely tea to go with the cake for me?"
"Alright."
Like usually, the two people happily talked and got carried away with many topics that they love. They didn"t notice the time, which was beginning to get dark and the lights in the garden were turned on.
Then suddenly a sweet voice called out, "Great-grandmother!"
From a far a small figure was running towards them. When Mi Rong heard the voice, her brows slightly furrowed as the voice was familiar to her.
The little girl was wearing a white plain dress, but it made her look like a little princess. Her smile was bright and her chubby cheeks were much slimmer and her jawline was much sharper.
Mi Rong"s clear eyes became large like an egg. It was Xiao Qing. She was dumbfounded for the first time.
On the other side, when Qing Qing saw who was with her great-grandma she stopped in her track and was in a daze. Was she dreaming? Mi Rong jie was in front of her?
Watching from the side, grandma secretly smiled, anytime soon, that grandson of hers would also come. Xiao Bai fixed his gaze at Qing Qing and was waggling his tail happily.
When Qing Qing finally woke from her trance, tears began running down her little face as she rushed towards Mi Rong"s direction. She finally ended up into Mi Rong"s warm embrace. Mi Rong had lifted the poor girl up and was now comforting her with a small pat on her back.
Over the one year period, Qing Qing had grown taller, but she wasn"t too heavy for Mi Rong. Mi Rong"s shoulders were now damp from Qing Qing"s tears, but she didn"t mind. Grandma Feng decided to give them some time and started sipping her tea, waiting for another person to show up.
With a small voice Qing Qing said, "Rong jie, I missed you."
"Oh, Qing Qing, why didn"t you call me, hm?"
"Father didn"t let me ah."
"Oh, well, you"re here now right?"
"Yes! Rong jie, please don"t go anywhere again okay? I don"t have any friend except you."
"Alright." Qing Qing then smiled happily and gave Mi Rong a big hug.
The from the back door, a handsome figure appeared. His appearance could be matched as a holy deity. His eyes were as black as night and deep as an ocean. However, he was wearing all black which gave him a dark and mysterious vibe. He was like a sovereign king who was aloof from the world. With one look, n.o.body would be able to take their eyes off from him. But no one would dare get too close at him as he was as cold as the winter storm. Even the housekeeper was standing far away from him.
When, he saw his daughter in someone"s arms, his eyebrows knitted. The back figure of that person looked familiar, but he couldn"t remember who it was from. Seeing Jun Kai putting up a cold air everywhere he went, grandma Feng rolled her eyes and sighed. This boy is just like his grandfather.
When Qing Qing looked up and saw who had come she called, "Father!"
Mi Rong froze. No way.
When she turned around. The pair met eyes with each other.
