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

258 Looking for a Needle in a Haystack

FaMo, Matthew, and Assistant Twig just watched Grandpa Lu who was laughing out loud with his heart content. They didn't expect him to react like that after hearing Zu Wan's last statement. Grandpa Lu even caught the attention of other employees who were in the lobby.

After a few seconds, Grandpa Lu recovered his composure. He stopped laughing and cleared his throat.

*Cough* *Cough*

"Sorry about that. I just find it funny," Grandpa Lu said to them.

Assistant Twig also smiled while scratching his face. It was seldom to see Grandpa Lu laughed like that. Matthew was also smiling.

"Are you not mad at me, Mr. Chairman? I just called your grandson 'a fool'?" FaMo asked Grandpa Lu expectantly.

Grandpa Lu let out another chuckle before shaking his head. "Of course not! Why would I be mad at you? You are just telling the truth. In fact, I'm rooting for you. Please give my grandson a piece of good advice to improve himself."

FaMo nodded at Chairman Lu. "I will do my best, Chairman Lu."

"Hmm. But I am surprised that my grandson talked about a lot of good things about me with you. That is so unlikely to him to do so," Grandpa Lu said, rubbing his chin.

Both Assistant Twig and Matthew agreed with Grandpa Lu's remarks so they averted their gaze to FaMo, waiting for his reply.

FaMo smiled at them before responding. "Don't get me wrong, Chairman Lu. It's not Tristan. The person who talked a lot about you is his wife, Lillie. She said that you are very sweet, kind, and generous. She liked you so much."

Grandpa Lu was dumbfounded for a moment. But after he recovered, a bright and wide smile flashed on his handsome aged face. He was now smiling from ear to ear. He was flattered knowing that his granddaughter-in-law was talking good things about him.

Matthew and Assistant Twig were also surprised that Tristan's advisor also knew Lillie.

'When did Tristan meet Mr. Zu Wan? He never mentioned to me anything about him. It seems that Mr. Zu Wan already knows many things related to Tristan.' Matthew pondered at that thought.

"Oh, Zu Wan, thank you for telling me that. My granddaughter-in-law is a real sweetheart here. She also has a pure kind-heart. She's beautiful inside out. I like her too. I think Tristan becomes smart about one thing… that is for choosing Lillie to be his wife." Grandpa Lu said, his eyes sparkling with joy.

Assistant Twig and Matthew bobbed their heads in unison as they agreed with Grandpa Lu's statement. FaMo also smiled after hearing that.

Grandpa Lu was about to invite Zu Wan and Matthew to drink coffee and have some more chit-chat when Tristan finally arrived at the company.

He immediately saw the four men who were gathered in the lobby. They looked like they were having fun with their conversation. Tristan was clueless that he was the main topic of their conversation.

'Argh, Grandpa saw my father-in-law. Too bad I couldn't introduce him as Zhen-Zhen's father. My family knew that Alice and Thomas are Zhen-Zhen's parents. Will my father-in-law get upset because of that?' Tristan became anxious at that thought.

He wanted to be more closer to his so-called father-in-law to get his hundred percent approval of his relationship with Zhen-Zhen. He couldn't afford to offend him.

'Oh shit! I hope my father-in-law didn't mention anything to my grandpa that might cause suspicion.'.

With that thought in mind, Tristan immediately approached them, afraid that FaMo would tell them he was not supposed to tell.

Tristan was just worrying for nothing. He had underestimated FaMo. FaMo knew very well what he should or should not tell others. It was for Zhen-Zhen's sake. No one should know about her real identity. FaMo would not do anything that might harm or affect Zhen-Zhen in the future.

"Oh, Tristan is here," Matthew said upon noticing Tristan's presence.

The other men averted their gaze to Tristan who was now walking in their direction. Tristan didn't know why the four men were giving him weird glances upon reaching their spot.

Tristan greeted his grandfather. He told them some alibi so that he could bring FaMo with him, without raising any suspicion.

**************

In a certain area just near the City of Empire, there was a man, standing in the tallest tower in that area. He was holding a dagger, examining it in his hand.

"I wonder where and when I can find the demon god's daughter in this world." The man mumbled to himself while peering at his surroundings.

"I've been here for more than a month but there's no sign of her yet."

Then the man let out a soft chuckle. "I feel like looking for a needle in a haystack. I don't even know her face." The man shook his head at that thought.

He was the leader of the guardian warriors who followed Zhen-Zhen in this world. At first, he thought he would find her easily. But he was mistaken.

If the demon god's daughter was just like her father who would wreak havoc in the world and destroy everything one by one then he would surely find out her location right away.

"Why is she silent? Did I follow her in the wrong world? Is the demon god's daughter not here? Am I trapped here forever?" The man continued his monologue while looking at his surroundings.

Then he glanced at the divine dagger once again. "Where is she? Where is the demon god's daughter? Help me find her."

The divine dagger had the power to detect evil spirits and demons including the demon god's daughter. The dagger would react and lit up on its own once it detected dark power and evil energy nearby.

Just like Zhen-Zhen, the Guardian Leader tried his best to fit in society. This environment was totally new to him as well. It took him two weeks before he succeeded in adjusting to this new world.

While he was busy studying the culture in this world, he didn't forget about finding the demon god's daughter.
