Chapter 48
“How do you speak?” Granny smiled and gave Grandpa reproachful look “Don’t take it to heart, Trista. Since the leg accident, he has become quite inhumane. He jilts his face at me on occasion!”
“Bring me my chessboard,” Grandpa didn’t want to talk to us, and the situation became tense.
Donald sought to explain things further “I went after Trista, Grandpa. She was adamant till the very end. My relationship with her isn’t exactly what you’d expect.”
“I’ve seen so many playing hard to get.”
“Why are you so hostile to Trista for no apparent reason? Look, she even brought us some food!”
“So what?” you might ask.
The cell phone suddenly rings. “I’ll go out and answer the phone,” Donald says as he notices the call.
“OK.”
Grandpa was engrossed in a game of chess. “Come and chop the fruit,” he said after a while.
“All well, I’ll go.”
“Trista, take a seat and let the servants handle it.”
“It’ll be OK. Allow me to take care of it.”
Anyway, it’s embarrassing to be sitting here. To make him pleased, it’s preferable to cut fruit. When I chopped a platter full of fruit, however, the elderly guy looked cold and said, “Who wants to eat the fruit you cut?”
“All I want to do is assist you….”
“What you’re saying is that I won’t be able to use my legs. I’m unable to walk any longer. I need your help?”
“You got it wrong. That was not my intention.” I quickly explained.
“Do you consider yourself to be a member of the lion family?” He said angrily, “don’t think you can rest easy after getting the certificate with Donald. You are, in my opinion, no different than other. I’m not going to support your marriage!”
I gave a slight smile “Donald is very important to Grandpa. If my grandfather is still living, he will be just as concerned about me as you are about Donald.”
He gave me a hard stare without saying anything.
“You turn down people from thousands of kilometers away without inquiring about Trista’s family’s circumstances. It’s too perplexing.” chastised him.
“No one on the planet lives in better circumstances than our family. Regardless of how nice her circumstances are, she is still inferior to us.”
“Trista, she’s the granddaughter of Troy, the lunar group’s founder!”
Grandpa was taken aback and returned his gaze to me. “It reminds me of….”
His demeanor had softened from before. “Are you really Troy’s granddaughter?” he inquired, serious.
“Yes.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
“You simply stated he passed away? What exactly is the problem? I recall him being in excellent health.”
“Are you familiar with each other?”
“There’s a lot more.”
“Grandpa worked hard and did everything himself after forming the lunar group. He was gregarious and stayed up late for work because he was in good health…. The lunar group grew in popularity over time, but Grandpa’s health deteriorated day by day. He later grew unwell as a result of his overwork and regrettably died.” “You don’t know, my grandfather is really a very excellent, very good person….” I murmured with emotion as my nose grew foul.
“I understand.” He stated surprisingly, “He is a one-of-a-kind talent. When I was younger, I met him and was blown away by his talent, ability, and demeanor.”
“But I’m still a little better than jewelry design,” grandpa boasted when he said this.
“Grandpa, did you also study jewelry design?” I inquired, shocked.
“When the lion group was first created, I was in charge of the jewelry field. All of the CGs (CG1, CG2, CG3, and CG4) were created by me. They are currently the best-selling series on the market.”
“Your grandpa keeps your ow cousel.” I was surprised to learn that the gray old man in front of me was the creator of the CG series.
“Your grandfather is concealed.” The elderly gentleman groaned, “He is a gifted man. In other words, since you grew up with your grandfather, have you learned anything about talent?”
“From the time I was a child, Grandpa taught me to draw, write poetry, play chess, and play the piano.”
“Do you know how to play chess?”
“Yes.”
“Let’s play?”
“Good!”
“These last stages are not his style,” he laughed heartily after they had a nice battle.
“This is what I discovered later when studying overseas.”
“Abroad?”
“I spent four years at Huston University majoring in jewelry design before joining the Tiffany team for three years.”
“Every year, Huston University only accepts 30 students. Did you get in by yourself, girl?”
“Yes.”
“Can you tell me your ranking?”
“One.”
“You surprised me,” he shouted.
“Tiffany’s jewelry has always been well-known around the globe. Their jewelry design team is fantastic. Are you able to learn from them? Is there anything in particular that draws them in?”
“They were prepared to make jewelry to commemorate the company’s 50th anniversary at the moment. As a result, the samples were invariably unacceptable in appearance. Later, I discovered the issue.”
“What exactly is it?”
“This is the diamond’s hue. The style is extremely fashionable, but the diamond color is not bright enough, so it does not appear to be harmonious.”
Grandpa grinned admiringly as he gazed at me.
“Donald mentioned that you enjoy playing chess, particularly go. Grandpa gave me this as a birthday present when I was 18 years old. Now I give it to you.”
He took the gift box from the shelf and opened it.
“How about this! Superior jade is used to carve the chessmen and the chessboard. This is a collection.” He instantly turned down the offer.
“Chess pieces, according to my grandfather, can only play their finest roles when they meet the appropriate people. Chess players understand the enjoyment, and chess spectators enjoy it. For those that comprehend it, it’s even more difficult. When you see good chess, you will feel sympathy and love. You are such a person, Grandpa.”
I returned the present box to Grandpa “I was simply playing chess with Grandpa. Your chess skill drives me to lose. From now on, this set of go is yours. You know more about it and value it more than I do.”
He was so ecstatic that he trembled when he accepted it.
