CHAPTER 209 – Truth: I am your grandpa.

He could already imagine how she would look like, a breathtaking beauty worthy of all the praises the world could offer. Without looking at her, he felt a sense of warmth envelop his beating heart at the thought of her and knew he was already falling for her.

"Okay, I would take a picture and send. A minute."

She quickly opened her camera and took a selfie picture, showing her lovely body con pink long sleeved, turtle-neck gown that ended right on top of her knee and hugging her in the right places.

"You look spectacular. There is no doubt that your grandfather would be thrilled at having such a beautiful damsel for a daughter."

"Hehhe, thanks. See you when we can. Bye."

"Bye. Don't forget to take a deep breath okay?"

"Sure." With one last smile to her phone, Li Jing clicked on the red icon and the call ended. "A new life here I come."

Li Jing tried her very best to smile and accept her new fate as it was while trying to calm her beating heart.

***

A couple of minutes later, Li Jing found herself in front of her grandfather's house. It was a duplex with a big garden at the back and lots of flowers decorating the courtyard.

Her eyes scanned everywhere as she took in her surroundings first before stepping out of the car and letting Hua Duyi close it after her.

"Should I wait for you or I should come when you are done from your outing?" Hua Duyi asked.

"If it isn't too much, then please wait but if you have other things doing, then you can go. I would call you once I am done."

"Okay. I would just wait then. The young master would be furious if I do go."

"Okay. My apologies. See you later." Li Jing walked majestically inside the house and was greeted by two maids.

One of them showed her to the living room while the other went to call the master of the housed and inform him about his guest.

As she was seated, all the maids that came to serve her were dazzled by how beautiful she looked.

At first they had thought that she was the master's mistress and even if she was, they would very much agree because the Li Jing they were seeing possessed class, poise, dignity and elegance.

Minutes later, Li Jing could hear some footsteps descending the stairs and making its way to the living room. Her heart began to thud loudly in her chest that it felt as though her ear drums would explode any moment from then.

Suddenly she her the footsteps stop and the front door open. She did not know what to think about again and was really scared to actually check.

Her fear for her situation and the things that would happen had left her all jumpy and not relaxed.

'Breathe Li Jing, breath. Remember his words… Breathe Li Jing. Try and relax. It would play out well.' She began to chant those words in her mind, hoping for her anxiety to dwindle and luckily for her, it did.

Meanwhile her mind and heart had been preoccupied with her chants and thoughts that she failed to pay attention to the footsteps coming behind her.

"Li Jing." She jolted up from her seat and turned around sharply as her eyes landed on the culprit.

"Tang Zixin! You scared me there."

BADUM! THUD!

"Oh my! My apologies. I did not mean to. Please do seat down. I hope I did not cause you to spill any drink on your body?" Tang Zixin's asked her, feeling concerned about give her such a fright.

Meanwhile, he took this opportunity to scan her appearance from head to toe and he subconsciously felt himself lick his lips. 

He was more than lucky she wasn't looking at him but was busy distracted, checking her surroundings to make sure she did not spill any drink on herself.

"No, it is all good," Li Jing said, raising her head to look back at him. "Luckily, I kept my drink on the table first." Her hand pointed at the side table to her left, indicating where she had put the drink.

"Okay great then. Your outfit is gorgeous but not as the person wearing it. You are gorgeous."

"Ahem!" Both of their heads turned toward the entrance almost at the same time. Li Jing felt her heart stop beating for a moment there as her eyes locked with his.

If she still had any doubt about Mr Lin being her grandfather, it flew out the window that instant. She did not need anyone to tell her further nor the DNA test to reveal to her what was going on.

She could see everything just from his appearance. It was quite a surprise to see that her looks, she took it from her mother as her maternal grandfather had the same resemblance.

Starting from their eyes, to their facial construction, to her nose, her lips…name it, everything. It was a bloody resemblance.

Even Mr Lin could not believe it. Yes he had seen her pictures but seeing her in person, he knew that the pictures did not do any justice to how gorgeous she really was.

Slowly, his eyes dropped from her face to her neck where the blue gem laid wait all these years. Li Jing and Tang Zixin followed the line of his gaze and saw what had gotten his focus.

His eyes remained glued on the necklace before he cleared his throat again. "Welcome to my humble abode," Mr Lin greeted before taking s dep further.

"Tang Zixin, thank you so much." He was grateful fpr all that Tang Zixin had done and thought to show him some appreciation.

In as much as Mr Lin wanted to smile it off, he just could not bring himself to. All that remained was the what6 was left of his once smiling, disbelieving face.

"Li Jing, my g-granddaughter. It really is you. You look just like her."
