The Young master's fake bride and her lucky system-Chapter 84: Which granddaughter?
Caishen gave Du Fuzi a disdaining gaze and said, "You gossip too much."
"Your wife called you hubby Zhang in public. It's not gossip if it was said in a public domain and heard loud and clear by everyone." Fuzi replied.
Caishen whose eyes were following Alix opened his mouth and said factually, "Gossip is casual conversation about other people often involving....."
"Arrrrghhh." his friends groaned.
"Stop with the facts and details or truths. You are making me crave another glass of wine." Rongyan said.
Huang Chen swiped away the glass sitting in front of Rongyan. "You have had enough."
Rongyan looked around for a waiter while Du Fuzi looked at Caishen with amusement on his face and Biming searched up all the information available to the public on the Tai family.
For sure, Caishen would want to know everything there was to know about them the next day.
Alix meanwhile arrived at the table where grandpa Tai was sitting and she smiled adorably.
"Grandpa Sun." she called cheerfully.
Elder Sun's face lit up and he responded happily, "Girl, Xi-Xi, you are finally here. I thought that I was going to have and fetch you myself."
"I came as soon as soon as I could grandpa. If I had known that you were here earlier on I would have come over to greet you." she responded.
She noticed chairman Tai Heng at the table and his wife.
"Greetings chairman." she said.
Elder Sun, in a slightly reproachful voice asked her, "What chairman? I have already taken you as my granddaughter. Just call him uncle or godfather."
Alix was not very eager to ingratiate herself with chairman Tai Heng if he did not want her associating herself with him. The man hardly spoke to her after all.
She already had one asshole of a father she didn't speak to and she was not ready for another, not that chairman Tang was a bad man. She just hardly knew the man.
Still, she did not want to disappoint elder Sun.
"I will remember to call uncle next time." she told him.
"It's okay, you can start now." Chairman Heng's wife said.
The woman looked at Alix with doting eyes and said cheerfully, "I am his wife, you have to call me aunt in that case. Don't worry, I will be glad to have a niece as beautiful and talented as you."
Alix smiled and nodded slowly, and kind of awkwardly.
"Yes, you played so beautifully. I am going to show off to all my friends that I have a talented granddaughter." Elder Sun loudly and proudly praised her.
"He is really going to do it." Tai Ho Sun leaned down and whispered to Alix.
She thought that elder Sun meant he would show off later but the old man suddenly to another old man at the next table.
"Tian Long, look at my granddaughter, she is the one that played the cello earlier. Look, isn't she beautiful and talented?"
Tian Long, elder Sun's long time friend who knew every member of the Tai family was puzzled. Which granddaughter was Tai Sun referring to? As far as he knew, his friend had only male grandchildren. Did one of his sons have a bastard daughter outside?
He looked at Alix with a doubt filled eyes and shook his head. They had presented her as a sister to Lin Billi. She must belong to the Lin family.
"Elder Sun, whose child are you trying to kidnap?" he replied.
"Bah!!, what do you mean by kidnap? She is my granddaughter, look at me and look at her. Don't we look alike? And her eyes, they are just like those of my wife."
Chairman Tai almost choked on his wine.

Tai Ho Sun started laughing and Alix gave elder Sun a very surprised look.
Elder Sun really had no shame.
"Father, stop talking or people will misunderstand." Chairman Heng bent his head over and told elder Sun.
Gossip travelled very quickly in circles like theirs. It would not take much for someone to leap from there to calling Lin Alix his bastard daughter.
Alix cleared her throat and felt the urgency to escape before the elder made any other ridiculous claims.
"Grandfather, I have another performance so I need to rush back." she said.
"Alright alright, I will introduce you to my friends next time. You go on and play another song. Everyone has been looking forward to it."
Alix acknowledged everyone else with a slight bow of her head and Tai Ho Sun escorted her back to her table.
"Grandfather is a bit too much at times. You don't have to indulge him if you don't feel up to it. Truth be told, he has been singing your praises since he met you.
He says your ancestors must have been really great people that served an emperor in the old years because imperial jade was not rewarded to commoners. It was used by nobles and emperors."
Alix thought about the forged certificate of ownership and wondered if the system had done too good of a job.
Tai Ho Sun continued taking as they walked. "Of course I mentioned that they could have been merchants who bought the pure imperial jade from someone else.
But when you consider the diamond as well, I think maybe your family was involved in a jewelry business perhaps."
"The jewels are from my mother's side of the family. I am the only one left now and as far as I know. But according to what I know I come from a long line of singers, composers and performers." she told him.
Tai Ho Sun's moved around as he thought of other possibilities.
"Perhaps they were exclusive performers for the emperor. That used to be a coveted position in the royal courts. By the way, you mentioned that you were looking into moving your music school to a bigger place. Have you found another space as of yet? I mentioned it to grandfather in passing and he found you the perfect place."
"Brother Sun, I mentioned it in passing as well. I already found a place. Please tell grandfather Sun that I am grateful for the help but he should not stress."
Madam Qian had already approached the owner of Fuwen academy on her behalf. All Alix was waiting for was to be told the final buying price.
They both reached her table and he walked away.
Caishen was staring at him as if he wanted to kill him right where he was standing.
Alix did not see the look Caishen gave Tai Ho Sun as his face changed quickly when she looked at him.
"Hubby Zhang, I am back."
