After everyone left, Grandfather Gu who was still sitting at the same place in the conference room, stared at the projector in front of him in a daze. The things that happened earlier took a heavy toll on him.

He held his head back and let out a heavy sigh. He tried to look strong earlier but only he knows how much strength he has to use to stay firm and strong while dealing with Xingren who was once an apple of his eyes.

It's not like he doesn't love her or started to hate her just because he found out that she isn't his granddaughter and it was all a confusion. He still loves her, very dearly at that too.

However, he loves Xu Nuan as well who has seen the cruelty of the world and has never received an ounce of love from her family. Xingren at least stayed with them and grew up in a pampered environment where she received whatever she asked for.

However, Xu Nuan didn't have anyone to fulfill those demands for her. She was the one who lost the most.

He wants both girls to live happily as sisters but Xingren's attitude Xu Nuan will only bring her closer to her destruction. He loves his innocent-gentle Xingren, not the changed one who doesn't even flinch at the thought of hurting someone.

How can she turn into such a person who can lie without even blinking her eyes and thinks everyone as her enemies if they try to tell her what is right or wrong?

Remembering the words that Han Zihao said to him the other day, he couldn't help but be worried about Xingren. That man is not only handsome and charming but he is a man of power, more than any YJ Corporations or Gu Enterprises.

" Mr. Gu, now you know about the deeds of your Granddaughter Xingren, how are you planning to deal with her? As you know, If I made this legal, she could be punished for planning a murder, because the girl was captured in the camera while pushing Xu Nuan on the road."

" If Xu Nuan was not pulled back, she would have been…" Han Zihao paused about thinking of the possibility of what could have happened if Lin Hui hadn't pulled her back.

Although he doesn't like him, he was still thankful for him to save her on time.

Grandfather Gu pursed his lips and clutched his chest, feeling the fear of what would have happened if that man hadn't saved Xu Nuan.

" Mr. Han, thanks for sharing this with me. I will handle it myself. It's my family matter after all. I will take my leave now." He was about to get up when he heard him say.

" I don't want you to take care of it as your family matters. Mr. Gu, I have seen the way you handle your family matters. I believe this time you can show your power as the head of the family and take the charge to do what should have been done a long ago."

" You have a month to decide on what should be done to resolve this situation. If no action has been taken, I will take the action against you 'dear-granddaughter'. Because I am not as weak-hearted as you, I can go to any heights to protect the people I care for." He said coldly while staring at the old man.

If he has taken the charge earlier, things haven't reached this position. The first time Xingren pushed Xu Nuan in front of his car, they were strangers and it wasn't something he should be concerned about.

However, this time...it was not only Xu Nuan that he was worried about. It was the person he cares for and loves her with all his might. How can he let her get hurt because of one stupid girl?

Xingren can look childish to the Gu family members but to him, she is no less than a criminal. If they can't deal with her, he will handle it his way.

-

Since that day, he was finding ways to deal with Xingren and this situation. He called Xu Nuan for the company's anniversary banquet for the same reason and he was planning to announce her as his granddaughter in his speech.

However, things didn't turn out as he planned and Yang Jian started to misbehave with Xu Nuan. He was shocked to see Han Zihao who came to Xu Nuan's rescue and introduced himself as her boyfriend.

Before that he used to wonder with which authority he told him all of this because he didn't tell him his relationship with Xu Nuan. But when he announced his relationship with her among hundreds of people, he was sure that this man is no joke.

He was serious about all of this, the man who won't flinch to announce his relationship with the woman he likes among hundreds of people, what else can scare him? He didn't care about the rumors either.

" I am glad that Xu Nuan has someone to protect her. At least, she is in good care." he sighed feeling relieved that she has found someone that can take better care of her.

-

Xu Nuan was leaving the Gu Enterprises when she received Han Zihao's call. Seeing his call, she couldn't control her excitement and picked it up, forgetting how she was avoiding him all these past days.

" Mr. Han, you called at the right time. Do you know what just happened?" she squealed in surprise.

Han Zihao who was sitting in his office with the heap of documents in front of him to check; raised his brows in surprise upon hearing her voice filled with excitement.

A smile appeared on his lips as he went on, " What is it? Did you win a lottery or something?"

She tsked at his words and said, " It's much more than a lottery. Today Grandfather Gu called me….."

Han Zihao listened to her detailed story on the phone for 30 minutes that she could have ended up in 5 minutes if she had summarized the events that happened since morning.

Feng Sheng who was outside his door pursed his lips and looked at the time. With whom he is busy on the phone that he delayed the meeting? He wondered.

He opened the door slightly to found Han Zihao who had a foolish mild smile on his face while he was nodding while listening to the person who talked on the phone.

"....."

He couldn't control his excitement and took his picture. The rare picture of the iceberg Han Zihao in love will be sold at high prices. To whom should I strike a deal? Hmm...grandma? Ah, she is scary, she will take the picture and will not give a penny to me.

Stingy Grandma.

Ms. Gu? She is stingier than Grandma Han. Ah, what to do?
