Jin Liwei paused while walking Grandpa Lu to the door. "Do you not know what happened?"
The old man also stopped and looked at Jin Liwei. "What do you mean, my boy? What do I not know? I want to know!"
"I don’t think it’s my place to tell this to you—"
"Just tell your grandpa! Tell me, what is it? I want to know!"
Jin Liwei sighed. "Fifth Brother Zihao and Long Jinjing already broke up."
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!!!"
Jin Liwei winced at the old man’s booming roar which reverberated throughout the entire office.
"What in the bloody hell did that dunderhead do?! How could he break up with such a nice young lady so soon?! They were so sticky with each other during your wedding that this old man was hoping that they’ll be the next one to marry and give me another great-grandbaby after you and Xiulan my girl, but now you’re telling me that they broke up?! What happened between them? Why did they break up all of a sudden? Tell me, I want to know!"
"I have no idea, Grandpa Lu. When Xiulan and I called Fifth Brother to ask him about it, he lost his temper and hung up the phone on us."
Jin Liwei didn’t feel guilty at divulging this much information to the old man. Although it wasn’t really him and his wife who angered Lu Zihao but their AI children for teasing their uncle, Jin Liwei considered it almost the same thing because Ketchup and Bacon were their AI children, and therefore, their responsibility.
"That Haohao is really a gigantic pinhead! Where else in the world can he find such a nice woman like Jinjing girl, eh?! Just watch this old man smack that dunderhead! Hmph!"
Jin Liwei sighed but didn’t say anything. Unlike the raging Grandpa Lu, he had no intention of interfering with his brother-in-law’s relationship with Long Jinjing. If truth be told, he preferred that the two didn’t reconcile. Long Jinjing was truly a nice and gentle woman who was timid at times while his brother-in-law was a dangerous man actively involved in shady businesses. Jin Liwei was certain that Long Jinjing didn’t know just how dangerous the man she had been sleeping with before the two broke up.
Grandpa Lu was still very incensed at the news. "This old man will leave now and head to Dragon Palace. When I get a hold of your fifth brother, I’ll scold him until his ears fall off! Hmph! That boy must’ve done something stupid, that’s why Jinjing girl broke up with him! What a pinhead! Bye now, my boy! I’ll see you at dinner!"
Jin Liwei returned to his desk after the old man left. He was planning on asking Ketchup for more information about what Bacon stole from their mother but Xu Tian returned at this time.
"Everything is done?"
"Yes, sir. Like what happened on Monday, Miss Young managed to calm down after you and Sir Lu left. Then she walked out of the company on her own, not allowing the security to physically throw her out."
Jin Liwei didn’t react, not the least bit impressed by the woman’s attempt to protect her dignity in front of other people. He didn’t care whether she was thrown by the security or walked out using her own feet.
"There’s another matter, sir. There were quite a lot of paparazzi and even reporters who blocked her when she came out of the company. At first we thought that they were here because of your marriage announcement with Madam Jin on À la Mode magazine, but I suspect that some of the ones who came today were cooperating with Miss Young. It’s just too coincidental with the tabloids this morning and her attendance in the emergency board of directors meeting today."
"Did she talk to the media outside?"
