Chapter 313


    Chapter 313 Teach Them a Lesson?


    Lara said courtly, “Obviously, you put in a lot of effort into preparing your gift and you’re certainly more


    considerate than most of us because none of our gifts have ever managed to make him so happy.” Her


    remark could be interpreted as being somewhat provocative. After listening to what she said, the first


    thing that popped up in the rest of their minds was how bad Old Man Nn’s taste was. Other than


    that, they also resented Gianna for stealing their limelights because they had spent a fortune on their


    gifts for the old man only to see them being overshadowed by hers which might not even be worth a


    hundred bucks. Obviously, Lara was trying to incite the rest of her family to hate Gianna. With a smile,


    Gianna exined, “Of course Master Merlin would love the gifts from all of you. As I’m not as rich as


    you guys, I can only make up to it by putting in more effort. I’m sure he just doesn’t have the heart to


    criticise my shabby gift because he knows how I hate to feel embarrassed.” Edward too walked over to


    her and said, “There’s no need to be so modest because you and your son should be proud of your


    gifts which are able to make Grandpa so happy.” Laraughed along and chimed in, “Indeed, especially


    so for the gift from the little boy.” With that, she bent down slightly and beamed


    at South, “Little boy, how old are you?” South answered her confidently, “I’m six-and-a-half years old!”


    Softening her tone, Lara asked the little boy what sounded like an attempt to pry for more information,


    “I can see you’re with your Mommy. What about your Daddy?”


    Upon listening to her question, Ss’s face fell immediately and he spoke in a cold tone, “We’d better


    not poke our noses in their private affairs!”


    At the same time, Gianna pulled South to her and answered with a nk expression, “His Daddy has


    passed away. Aunt Lara, I don’t think that’s the question you should pose to a little boy.” As soon as


    she said that, South secretly took a peek at Ss’s face to confirm that his expression had turned


    bleaker. South kept his lips pursed because he was having difficulty stopping a grin from emerging on


    his face. In the meantime, Ss was looking sullen thinking that it was the second time he was


    described as a dead man by Gianna. That woman was really ruthless with her words! Lara, who


    seemed to have just realized her gaffe, chuckled, “It’s my bad for being curious. Doctor Aubrey, you


    won’t mind it, will you?” Having subdued the raging fury in her, Gianna forced a smile and responded, “I


    won’t!” At that juncture, Old Man Nn spoke calmly, “Rocky and Doctor Aubrey, I think it’s about time


    the two of you bring the kid downstairs to grab something to eat instead of staying here with me.”


    Knowing well that his grandfather was trying to protect them, Ss replied quickly, “Okay!”


    Gianna then nodded at the rest of them in the room politely before leaving the room together with Ss


    and South.


    Still looking glum even after they left the room, Ss eyed Gianna somewhat apologetically when he


    said to her, “You don’t have to put up with any person or anything that annoys you.” Gianna chuckled,


    “If I could really do as I wish, you wouldn’t have to keep your distance from me and Grandpa wouldn’t


    have called me Doctor Aubrey just now.” Ss stopped in his tracks abruptly and turned to face her with


    his eyes glinting with consternation. “Do you think I should behave more intimately with you in public?


    Are you ming Grandpa for not addressing you as his granddaughter-inw?” Gianna went


    speechless at first before she doubted, “As the president of Nn Group, I’m surprised you can’t even


    comprehend the meaning behind my words.” Ss let out a chuckle because he could sense the


    sarcasm in her words. Putting on a more solemn look, he exined, “It’s true that I am not ready yet to


    introduce you and South to everyone because I don’t want to put the two of you in danger. However, it


    still pains me to see you getting bullied by them and I don’t mind teaching them a lesson when they


    behave like that!” He looked so earnest when he spoke that Gianna found it impossible to tease him.


    Instead, she red at him flirtatiously and criticized, “Teach them a lesson? What about your


    grandfather and your younger brother? Will you ignore them too?” Before Ss could respond to her,


    the door to Old Man Nn’s room was opened once again from which Nicole and Aleena walked out.
