Mr Indifferent CEO, Be Careful With My Heart Chapter 437 - Get Together 3

CHAPTER 437

Although still recovering but in doubt, there was big progress and he refused to stay down. He was the fighter that he was.

Their eyes met and Li Jing returned his smile with one of hers, before winking at him. That singular act of hers had given him the courage to carry on and do more than what she was doing. He looked around once more before taking the first step down the stairs.

With each step he took, his heartbeat began to increase faster than usual. He did not understand why his body was like that considering this was his same family.

Regardless, he said nothing and continued down the path to where they were and the second his feet touched the floor below the stairs, a round of applause followed.

They were all happy to see him alive and stronger than before. Before he could even say anything, his brothers rushed forward with Mrs Lin Huilang and enveloped him in a bear hug.

Li Jing smiled, laughed in fact. She already knew what was coming for her once they were done with their own hug session, so she waited in good faith.

Unfortunately for her, she did not calculate her big auntie, being so troublesome. While her thoughts had gone far away, Lin Huilang turned around, smiled at her and before Li Jing knew what was going on, she drew her towards them, adding her to the family hug.

"Ahhh! Hahahaa…." She giggled at everything and hugged her family.

Soon everything kick-started. They had dinner, did some little games before just coming together to have desserts and jist.

It was at this time that Lin Huilang thought it good to bring Ye Cheng up again.

"Jing baby, how is Ye Cheng doing? I would have thought he would grace this family reunion considering he is now a member of the family," Lin Huilang began, winking at her grandniece.

"Ummm… huh, auntie." She did not know what to say exactly. She knew her auntie was right. Indeed Ye Cheng was now a member of the family and should be there for any family get together but he wasn't. Y?

Of course, she could not voice out the fact that he wasn't there because both grandfather and daughter had not yet had a talk much less the son-in-law.

She took a deep breath. Steadied her mind and her thoughts with her eyes closed. Once she reopened them, she was more than ready to explain to her auntie.

However, before she could get a good start at it, Lin Jie helped her out.

"Darling, let Li Jing be. I bet Ye Cheng is out on another business trip. Besides, it is not good for the first official time to see your in-laws be a health-get together. It would be good on a latter-day, like a party strictly for them. I am sure my Jing-er is doing something about that. Isn't that right, Jing baby?"

The smile that he gave her was not just heartwarming but also had a hidden a.s.surance within. She inhaled deeply, feeling great that he helped her out before nodding at him.

She turned her gaze right after to her grandfather, then touched his left hand soothingly. "He would come and greet grandpa. I just hope grandfather would pardon my husband for not coming at a time like this?"

Lin Zian, even though he knew what his brother and his wife were doing, could not say much. He knew that Lin Huilang raised the issue up, just so that he would not dare mention any wrong words as it would be Lin Liqin that would get mad at him and the others would a.s.sist.

Right now he wasn't even having a case to plead on. He was in no doubt sure that if he dared showed any displeasure, his brothers and Huilang would eat him up.

Besides, this was the very same granddaughter that he had angered on so many occasions, yet when he was in trouble, she was the first to rush back to take care of him.

He did not need anyone to bring to his remembrance all that happened and more importantly, if Ye Cheng did not regard him, he would not have allowed Li Jing to go to him.

Her coming here wasn't just to take back what was hers. If it was money she did not need it as he had it in excess but she still came to help him, with her life on the line.

If anything had gone wrong, her grand auntie could have gone against her, asking to poison her instead of her grandfather and if that had occurred, even Ye Cheng may not have been able to save her.

So thinking about the situation, Lin Zian could not even complain but happily accept all that he got.

Even at that, he still was not happy with what his younger brother was trying to do. Yes, he was right, but why rub it in?

"It is okay, granddaughter. I understand. After all, I am a businessman myself, aren't I? When you arrange for the meeting, I would be more than happy to officially have my grandson-in-law."

"Are you sure about that?" A masculine voice suddenly asked, causing everyone to look in his direction.

It was Lin Liqin. The second in command and another one of the brothers with power and influence.

"And what is that supposed to mean?" Lin Zian attacked.

"It is simple. I think we should stop this façade and be honest with ourselves. Lin Zian, are you still not happy about your granddaughter's marriage to Ye Cheng? You know the man is a good lad."

"I do."

"But what?" Lin Liqin asked again.

"But nothing. Why do you people feel like I have something unspoken?"

"Because the brother I know would not just agree to things just like that," Lin Jie chipped in.

Lin Zian did not waste a second before he shot his brother a cold glare.

"Glare at me all you want brother, it doesn't change the fact.. This is you, you are too rigid."
