Chapter 76.
Inside the city’s most luxurious Western-style restaurant, Grandpa Jun, Jun Haotian, Asher and Leena were already waiting for the condensation to arrive.
Each of the four men was preoccupied, none of them speaking, and the waiter beside them served carefully, fearing any lack of care.
“Asher, why isn’t that woman here now?” Looking at the watch on his wrist, Grandpa Jun asked without a smile.
Lina snatched the words, “Grandpa, they are a famous doctor and the president of the group, so naturally they are very busy, it’s already hard to take time out, Asher, don’t you think so?”
“Dad, this time we have an unexpected appointment, Miss Leng must not have adjusted to the schedule for a while, anyway, you are in good health today, it’s good to come out for some air, let’s wait for a little longer.” Jun Haotian coldly glanced at Li Na and softly persuaded Grandpa Jun.
This Lina, is she afraid that things won’t get big enough, she’s still adding fuel to the fire at this hour!
Asher pulled out his phone and said faintly, “Maybe there’s been a delay in something, I’ll rush it …”
“They’re here!” Lena yelled before Asher could finish his words, pointing not far away, an inexplicable excitement and nervousness in her tone.
Asher put down the phone and glanced at Grandpa Jun, who was staring at the two people walking towards them, and worry flashed in his dark eyes. Walking not far away was none other than Mia and Namgung asking.
Mia wore a cream-colored dress today and wore her hair up high, revealing her bare forehead, making her look even more noble and radiant. While beside her, Nangong asked in a black casual suit, with a slender body and handsome face.
The two came together, looking very much in tune with each other.
When they approached, Asher locked his gaze on Mia’s arm holding Namgung’s question, his gaze deep, and that inexplicable uncomfortable feeling came back uncontrollably.
“Hello Grandpa Jun, hello uncle.” After seeing Grandpa Jun and Jun Haotian, Mia and Nangong asked greeted each other in a fallen manner and sat down gracefully on the opposite side.
The moment he saw Mia, Grandpa Jun was lost in thought for a moment, the little woman in front of him was indeed the same Mia that killed Liam Jun a few years ago, but now she was so noble and dazzling that she could not be compared to the little woman of a few years ago.
This woman, who the hell is she?
“Your grandfather is Leng Tianming?” Once Mia sat down, Grandpa Jun grimaced and snapped coldly.
Mia raised her eyes and looked straight at Grandpa Jun, a slight smile flooded her eyes, but there was no warmth in them, “Grandpa Jun is right, yes.”
“You’re the doctor who operated on me this time? And also the president of the Centurion Group?” The unassuming nature of the small woman across the table caused Grandpa Jun to lose his concentration for a moment, but quickly snapped his voice and asked again.
Even if the person sitting across from him wasn’t the Mia from five years ago, he definitely didn’t have an ounce of affection for her!
Mia elegantly picked up her coffee and took a sip, then raised her eyes to look faintly at Grandpa Jun across the table, “That’s right, it seems that the old master has pried into my details very well. However, since the old master wants to see me before he feels at ease with the surgery, I’m here, so ask whatever you want.”
Even though she was only lightly answering Grandpa Jun’s question, there was a noble and inviolable aura around her that made people look sideways.
Nangong asked and also spoke lightly, “Master, her schedule is rather full, so if you have anything you want to ask, just ask as soon as possible, because we have other things to take care of.”
As soon as his words left his mouth, everyone present changed their faces together, and there was no longer the slightest bit of politeness in Nangong asked’s tone. Even coming to see Grandpa Jun was nothing more than a matter too trivial to require Mia to make an appearance at all.
“In that case, Miss Leng is only willing to come to see me, an old man, because she appreciates your face?” Nangong asked in a tone that made Grandpa Jun very uncomfortable, and his tone immediately took on a sneer, “I’ve lived a long time, and this is the first time anyone has dared to talk to me like that!”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
“Old Master, I know what you say is true, and no one has certainly ever spoken to you like that before. However, those people are probably all begging for your help. We are still young, so if we speak excessively, please be generous and don’t take it to heart.” Without waiting for the others to react, Mia immediately faintly opened her mouth to defend Nangong asked.
Riina interjected in exasperation, “You guys are too arrogant, aren’t you? This time, Asher must have paid you a lot for asking you to operate on grandpa, and with that, you can’t talk to grandpa in that tone!”
Asher just wanted to open his mouth to stop it, but he saw Mia coldly looking at Lina, the corners of her lips curled up in a cold smile and sneer, “Then this young lady, please tell me what tone of voice should I use to talk to the old man now? I’m a doctor, I’ve come to communicate with the old man about walking away from the surgery, not to slip in the need to patronize him. If that’s the kind of human talk you need, then I’m sorry I won’t be there!”
After saying that, Mia pulled Nangong asked and stood up to leave.
Jun Haotian hurriedly rounded up the situation, “Miss Leng, she is still young and can’t speak, you mustn’t get angry. You’re right, this time I asked you to come over to talk properly about doing the surgery, don’t misunderstand.”
Asher stared coldly at Mia and Nangong asked, his dark eyes grim, as if a dark tide was churning.
“Alright then, old master, just ask the question, if old master is not comfortable with it, you can also find another high level!” In Mia’s words, there was no hint of compromise, “However, old master, your body is your own, not someone else’s. If you don’t even want to cure it yourself, then there’s no way for others to help you!”
There was a breathtaking silence that could almost take the breath away from anyone in the room.
Asher didn’t say anything, just locked his dark eyes on Mia, who was now, no longer the same Mia from five years ago. she was calm, aloof, unfazed by things, even with a faint coldness, as if she didn’t give a damn about anyone.
Even when she met Grandpa Jun, she still looked unassuming and had finished in the air.
Looking at Jun Haotian and Lina’s expressions, Asher knew that he was definitely not the only one present who had the same thoughts as him.
Everyone felt the change in Mia, even Grandpa Jun, after hearing Mia’s “treacherous” words, he finally nodded slowly after a long time of silence, “You’re right, my body is my own, I don’t have to be difficult with myself. Okay, you go prepare for the surgery, I agree to do the surgery!”
Asher and Jun Haotian both let out a sigh of relief, they both knew Grandpa Jun’s temper, if he was stubborn and refused to do the surgery, no one could persuade him.
Glancing at Grandpa Jun, Riina looked at Mia provocatively, her tone unkind, “Miss Leng, since you are an expert in heart disease, how come I’ve never heard of you?”
“This lady, she came back from America just now, so it’s normal for you not to know. I think it’s only right for Grandpa Jun’s family to make the decision on this matter of having surgery for Grandpa Jun, right?” Without waiting for Mia to open her mouth, Nangong asked without slowing down to retort.
Understanding the meaning in Nangong’s question, Riina said furiously, “I’m Asher’s fiancée, of course I should care about grandpa’s affairs, can’t I?”
“Fiancee? Oh, I understand.” A hint of mockery lifted up on Nangong asked’s handsome face, “Then let’s wait until you become the Jun family’s young grandmother.”
Unexpectedly, in front of Jun family, Nangong asked dared to mock himself so much, Li Na was anxious and angry, pouting to Grandpa Jun, “Grandpa, look, I also care about you before asking, look at what attitude they have! Grandpa, please control them …”
“Well, if there’s nothing else, we’ll leave you to it.” Without waiting for Leena to finish, Mia stood up again and swept a faint glance at everyone present.
Nangong asked also stood up and explained with a smile on his face, “We have other things to take care of, so we won’t be accompanying you, sorry!”
Asher stood up right after him and turned his head to Grandpa Jun and Jun Haotian, “Grandpa, Dad, I’m going to see them off and will be back soon.”
“I’ll come along too …,” Riina’s words were barely out of her mouth when she saw Asher throw a cold look over, and she immediately cringed and sat back down indignantly.
Mia and Namgung asked politely said goodbye to Grandpa Jun and the others, before heading towards the door.
“Since you promised to help my grandfather with his surgery, I will definitely help you with what I promised you.” After sending the two to the door, Asher locked Mia’s eyes tightly, “I hope you don’t take what just happened to heart.”
Mia smiled lightly, her tone bland, “Master Jun is overly concerned, these are all trivial matters, why would I take it to heart? Well, please go back!”
Mia’s tone, always polite and distant, as if she really never knew Asher, saw her turn faintly and take Nangong asked’s arm and sail away, Asher’s eyes narrowed dangerously together, and one hand gradually clenched into a fist.
She’ll make sure she admits she’s the same Mia from five years ago!
After standing in the doorway for half a day until Mia and Namgung asked the figure to disappear, Asher returned to the dining room, Grandpa Jun’s sharp gaze scanned his face, but his voice did not sound happy or sad in the slightest, “Stay away from her from now on!”
“Grandpa …,” Asher’s tone turned cold as he raised his eyes.
Once he touches Mia, Grandpa Jun immediately turns all prickly and stubborn.
“This is absolutely non-negotiable, do you hear me?” Seeing Asher about to retort, Grandpa Jun raised his voice and his tone was non-negotiable, “Besides, it’s been five years since you and Xiao Na got engaged, so if you don’t get married again you’ll make people laugh. So, I’ll pick a good day for you guys and finish the marriage before it’s too late!”
At Grandpa Jun’s words, Asher jerked his head up, his face full of shock, while Riina froze slightly and switched to a look of joy!
