The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

After fetching Zhen-Zhen at the University of Imperial Knights, Grandpa Lu brought her in the Davis Family Mansion. That's the place where Tristan grew up and raised by his parents. 

His Grandma Cassandra asked Tristan's parents to stay with them when Tristan was still young because she was fond of her grandson and wanted to take care of him. That's the reason why Tristan was very closed to his grandma.

Grandpa Lu told Zhen-Zhen about the closeness of Tristan and his late wife, Cassandra, while they were on the way to the house. The family chauffeur was the one driving the car while Grandpa Lu and Zhen-Zhen were sitting in the back passenger seat.

Zhen-Zhen was not shy to ask Grandpa Lu about Tristan's childhood so Grandpa Lu had no choice but to talk a lot during the entire duration of their journey. It's one fact that sometimes others often forgot: elders like Grandpa Lu liked to talk about the past especially if it involved the one they loved.

Zhen-Zhen was just listening to Grandpa Lu's story attentively. She would sometimes react and giggle when Grandpa Lu would tell any funny moments he could remember about Tristan and his wife, Cassandra. The two of them would end up laughing together.

The chauffeur couldn't help but watch them in the rearview mirror. He was surprised to see Grandpa Lu acting very lively and cheerful today. He could see that he was getting along well with his granddaughter-in-law.

Zhen-Zhen and Grandpa Lu were very engrossed with their talk that they failed to notice that the car already stopped in front of Davis Family Mansion. The chauffeur still had to inform Grandpa Lu that they had already arrived to catch the attention of the two people in the back passenger seat.

"We've arrived," Grandpa Lu mumbled to Zhen-Zhen.

Zhen-Zhen just nodded at him with a smile before she turned to the side, gazing outside the car window. When the butler saw the car, he immediately opened the door for Zhen-Zhen and Grandpa Lu.

Grandpa Lu let Zhen-Zhen step out of the car first before he followed her. Zhen-Zhen was surprised to see the large Mansion in front of her. She also roamed her eyes around the area. The landscapes looked spectacular and beautiful. The area was surrounded by trees and flower gardens.

"Do you like it?" Grandpa Lu asked her, watching her lovely expression as she admired the surroundings.

Zhen-Zhen nodded her head in amazement. "It's beautiful here. So many plants and flowers."

"This was the idea of my wife, Cassie. She has green thumbs. She liked planting and growing plants and flowers. The landscapes were also suggested and design by her. I just tried my best to maintain it." Grandpa Lu told Zhen-Zhen, he felt nostalgic whenever he would recall his wife. Until now, he still missed her so much.

Zhen-Zhen saw the gleam of sadness in Grandpa Lu's eyes. She could tell that he was missing his wife. She knew that feeling because that's what she was feeling whenever she would miss her parents, her Fa-Fa, and her Mo-Mo.

Zhen-Zhen immediately held Grandpa Lu's right hand while saying, "Don't worry, Grandpa. I know Grandma Cassie is watching over you and Tristan. We can't see her but she would always remain in our hearts and minds."

Grandpa Lu couldn't help but smile when he heard that. He was amazed at how Zhen-Zhen could easily comfort him with her simple words matched with her gentle expressions. 

He couldn't believe that the girl in front of him was the same girl who tried to seduce his other grandson, Andrew. She looked innocent and pure in his eyes. 

He didn't know what to believe in anymore. This time he would try to talk to her to figure out everything. Zhen-Zhen was like a mystery to him. He was intrigued and his interest was piqued by her.

The butler politely greeted them and he informed Grandpa Lu that only Isabelle was in the house. His Master Lucas was currently at work. Lucas was the one who was managing the private bank that was established by the Davis Family.

Sometimes, he was also helping his in-laws in managing their family business. Isabelle was also a daughter from a family of businessmen in the City of Empire. After Lucas served as the CEO of Heavenly Star Enterprise for Twenty years, he passed the title on Tristan as he focused on helping his wife family business and managing the Davis's Financial Bank Company.

"Your mother-in-law is inside. Let's go and greet her first," Grandpa Lu said, inviting Zhen-Zhen inside the house.

Soon, Zhen-Zhen and Grandpa Lu entered the Mansion. Isabelle was surprised to see them together.

"Father? Lillie? Why are you together?" Isabelle asked them, eyeing Grandpa Lu suspiciously.

Grandpa Lu just gave her a warning look, signaling her not to mention anything to Lillie. Isabelle got his signal. She understood that her father-in-law was cooking something this time. But she was worried about Tristan. She bet he had no idea about this.

"Hello, Mom! Grandpa visited me personally in school. He invited me here." Zhen-Zhen greeted her cheerfully and at the same time, answered her question. She also gave Isabelle a quick hug.

"Oh, right timing. I'm about to cook something for lunch today. Wanna join me?" Isabelle asked Zhen-Zhen.

But Grandpa Lu shot Isabelle a sharp glare when he heard that. He was not done talking to her yet but his daughter-in-law was trying to steal his granddaughter-in-law.

'I brought her here so that I could talk to her, not for you to have a cooking session with her.' Grandpa Lu lamented inwardly.

'Oops! Did I do something wrong? Why is Dad looking daggers at me?' Isabelle wondered to herself. After a few seconds, she realized what she did that made Grandpa Lu upset. Isabelle could only smile sheepishly at Grandpa Lu while waiting for Zhen-Zhen to respond.

Meanwhile, Zhen-Zhen felt excited when her mother-in-law invited her. She was about to say yes but she noticed the grim expression of Grandpa Lu. She remembered that Grandpa Lu came to see her because he wanted to talk to her.

"Sorry, Mom. As much as I wanted to join you but Grandpa and I still have something to talk about. Can I join you later after our talk?" Zhen-Zhen politely rejected Isabelle's invitation.

Isabelle giggled. Zhen-Zhen just saved her today. She couldn't take her words back. It was too late when she noticed the sharp look coming from Grandpa Lu. She already invited her daughter-in-law, fortunately, she politely refused her invitation.

"Alright, then I will not disturb you and father. Go and have your bonding. I will just go to the kitchen." Isabelle said before bidding her goodbye to Zhen-Zhen and Grandpa Lu.

Grandpa Lu's face brightened up once again when Zhen-Zhen chose to stay with him instead of joining Isabelle in the kitchen. He thought he would have to wait another hour just to talk with her. 

From her expression alone, he could tell that his granddaughter-in-law was tempted by Isabelle's invitation. He thought she would say yes right away. He felt relieved when she rejected Isabelle's invitation because of him.

'Good. This granddaughter is very considerate of this old man's feelings.' Grandpa Lu was rejoicing inwardly.
