Chapter 850: Treating You This Way?

                                    

                                          
Father Manoban was slightly worried when he realized Leo was about to present him with calligraphy art. Due to his achievements in the world of calligraphy, everyone's expectations would be really high and in addition to the talented impression Leo gave just a while ago, people might judge him harshly. However, the results were surprising and he was really glad! This surprise clearly made him much happier than Guan Rui's priceless gift!
As the guests were praising the little bun, there was a loud and strong voice.
The crowd looked at the source of the voice. It was a middle-aged man in his military uniform who walked in from the entrance. The man looked boldly at the host. He was the general from the Zhuang family, Zhuang Liaoyuan!
"Chief Zhuang, welcome! Thank you for coming!" Elder Manoban went up and greeted him with a smile.
"You're welcome, I should apologize for being late!" Zhuang Liaoyuan replied.
"Official tasks are, of course, more important, please come in..."
...
Zhuang Liaoyuan walked towards the calligraphy Leo had just created and hid none of his impressed expression. "This calligraphy, did your grandson write them?"
"Yes! It's his his birthday present to me!" he was feeling proud.
Zhuang Liaoyuan glanced at the little guy. "Impressive! He can write with this strength at such a young age! Elder, this kid has inherited the talent from you!"
As Zhuang Liaoyuan was chatting to him, he noticed Jennie who was beside Leo, "You..."
Jennie recognized Zhuang Liaoyuan as well but it was not appropriate to talk to him at that time, so she looked down and pretend to not know him.
Zhuang Liaoyuan realized that she was in a maid's uniform and noticed her submission, so he quickly concealed his surprise, but then his eyes turned icy when he looked at Lisa.
The atmosphere got warmer as Zhuang Liaoyuan arrived. As expected of a man from another prestigious family, many people wanted to rub shoulders with him. Most importantly, families like his rarely interacted with rich businessmen and this birthday was one of the few occasions that he would show up at, so it was a rare occasion indeed.
Guan Rui was tense. He knew that the Zhuangs intended to establish a marriage relationship with the Manobans, so he had to see what his biggest competitor was thinking...
...
As the evening got later, the dinner ended and the guests were adjourning. Lisa and Leo sent the guests out while Jennie went to the garden for a small break.
As she sat on the swing, reminiscing Leo's cool moments of the night, she noticed someone was closing in, and judging from the sound of their footsteps, she could determine that it was someone with a martial arts background.
Jennie stood up and looked behind her alertly...
Her alertness became awkwardness.
It was Zhuang Liaoyuan!
Why did he come here? Was he here just to find her?
"So, that guy is treating you this way?" As Jennie was contemplating, Zhuang Liaoyuan suddenly spoke to her.
Zhuang Liaoyuan's expression looked unhappy, even a little cold when he spoke.
Jennie was confused. "Uh...eh? Chief Zhuang, who are you talking about?"
Was he talking to himself?
