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

After the meeting, Tristan proceeded to his grandpa's office. Grandpa Lu wanted to talk to him. He had a feeling that this talk would be all about his conflict with Andrew.

Even the other directors could feel that the two brothers were avoiding and ignoring each other's presence. Things between them were getting more awkward and complicated. The competition between Andrew and Tristan could no longer stay hidden. 

The scandal video just started another conflict. Their relationship as brothers didn't improve but it was getting worse as time went by.

So for now, Tristan leaving the company for a while would lessen the tension inside the company since employees and other staff didn't know how they would deal with them once the two would suddenly fight in front of them.

People also tend to take sides sometimes. So the employees and staff couldn't help themselves from choosing whose side they would be supporting. 

If that happened, then even the employees might get into a fight just because they took sides and they were defending either Tristan or Andrew. They just hoped that the two brothers would reconcile soon.

*Knock* *Knock*

Grandpa Lu had just sat down on his executive chair when he heard the knocking sound outside his office door.

"Come in," Grandpa Lu said, giving the person outside the permission to enter his office.

After a few seconds, Tristan emerged from the door with his calm expression.

"Chairman, I am now here." Tristan stated to his grandfather. He was calling him Chairman inside the company especially if what they were about to discuss was work-related.

Tristan was still hoping that Grandpa Lu asked his presence to talk about the report he submitted during his field research, instead of confronting him about his conflict with his brother, Andrew.

Grandpa Lu gazed up to observe him for several seconds before speaking up his agenda for calling him.

"Talk. Explain. Tell me what happened in the Ocenaniz City. Who's the woman with you?" Grandpa Lu's voice was firm and direct to the point.

He wanted to hear Tristan's side of the story. Why is it his woman tried to seduce Andrew?

Tristan sighed deeply. He knew it. Grandpa Lu didn't call him here to talk about Heavenly Star Paradise Project nor the report he submitted, but about the seduction attempt issue.

"Grandpa Lu, believe me. It was just a misunderstanding. I was drunk and I made a stupid request. I will personally apologize to Andrew. But Please don't bother her. It's not her fault. I was the one to blame." Tristan immediately defended Zhen-Zhen.

Grandpa Lu raised his brows. He wondered why Tristan was overprotective when it came to that woman.

"Andrew and Hannah will soon hold their engagement party. What are you going to do now? Are you really thinking of breaking them apart?" Grandpa Lu was really frank while questioning Tristan. He was like an investigator interrogating a prime suspect.

Tristan lowered his gaze while clenching his fists. "I admit, I liked Hannah since our childhood years. I am in love with her. I only want her to be my wife. But I know it will not be possible now. I know they love each other. I already gave up a long time ago. So why do I need to break them now? Grandpa, if I wanted to do that then I should have done it a long time ago. Steal Hannah away from Andrew when they are not yet engaged.

"Good to hear that. I don't want my two grandsons to fight just because of a woman. Sort out your feelings and forget about Hannah. There are lots of women out there." Grandpa Lu nagged at him.

Tristan could only roll his eyes because of his grandfather's nagging. 

"Oh, I also have to remind you about the choice I gave you. Since you take a leave of absence for one month, I am expecting that you will finally give me an answer after your vacation." Grandpa Lu said, lifting an eyebrow.

"Alright. I will give you my answer in a month." Tristan nonchalantly said, while fighting a smile.

'I already found a wife. I am sure you will be shocked to see a much better version of my Zhen-Zhen after a month.' Tristan thought to himself.

"Okay. You may go now. I will just call you if I need something. I will give feedback after I read your reports. Oh… while you are on your vacation, I hope you can also do something to clean your reputation that was ruined because of your embarrassing stupid video. Tsk Tsk Tsk." Grandpa Lu ranted at him before dismissing Tristan.

"Yeah, I understand, Grandpa. Don't worry about me. I know what to do." After saying that, Tristan bade his grandpa goodbye before leaving his office.

When Tristan got out of his office, that's the time Assistant Twig entered to see Grandpa Lu.

"Chairman Lu." Assistant Twig greeted Grandpa Lu politely.

"Good… you're here. I want to ask you something." Grandpa Lu promptly said after seeing his assistant.

"Sure, Chairman. What is it?"

"How's the development of your investigation about that girl?" Grandpa Lu asked him curiously.

Assistant Twig smiled awkwardly while scratching his face. "Actually, that's the reason I came here. I was about to tell you some updates."

"Hmm, go ahead. Tell me. Did you find something interesting about that girl?"

Assistant Twig didn't know how he would tell Grandpa Lu that the man he hired to investigate Lillie's background didn't get much information about that girl. This happened because of Tristan and Matthew's interference.

"Yeah… it's something very interesting." Assistant Twig said while smiling sheepishly.

Grandpa Lu nodded his head with a bright smile, anticipating his report.

"Our agent… didn't get any information about her." Assistant Twig lowered his gaze right away, avoiding Grandpa Lu's gaze.

Grandpa Lu: "..."

Grandpa Lu was rendered speechless. The bright smile on his face disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a deep frown.

"Are you kidding me? You said it's something interesting! Then why are you telling me now that he got nothing?" Grandpa Lu said exasperatedly. He felt like scolding his assistant as of this moment.

"Eh… it's interesting Chairman simply because our agent didn't get something. Are you not wondering why? Our agent is good at this kind of job but for the first time ever, they didn't find some useful information after investigating someone." Assistant Twig immediately explained his side, afraid that Grandpa Lu would scold him.

"Nelson?!" Grandpa Lu exclaimed, calling his assistant's first name while he was giving him a warning look.

Assistant Twig immediately felt alarmed. Suddenly, cold sweats began to cover his body upon meeting Grandpa Lu's threatening gaze.

"I think… they could not find something because someone was protecting her privacy and background information. I suspect Young Master Tristan has something to do with it. What do you think, Chairman Lu? Is it possible or not?"

When Grandpa Lu heard that, he calmed down a little bit. Then Tristan's action a while ago and the moment he got mad yesterday when he defended the girl in front of them crossed his mind. He had to admit that Assistant Twig's speculation might be true. Tristan was hiding the girl from them or rather he was protecting her.

"Oh, indeed. That's very interesting." Grandpa Lu mumbled.
