"WHAT?! Did he tell you that?!" Grandpa Lu exclaimed exasperatedly after hearing Zhen-Zhen's remarks.
She just moved her head up and down as a response to Grandpa Lu.
He couldn't believe that his naughty grandson would say that to Lillie. He felt like he wanted to disown him as of this moment. What irresponsible grandson he had?
'That punk! I want to beat him right now and give him a proper lesson. How dare he tell that to Lillie? He married a wife, not a maid nor an employee. Even our employees in our company have the right to decide for themselves, not only listening to their CEO's command. How much more a wife? A wife always follows her husband's request, my ass?!'
Grandpa Lu was furious. He was now wearing a grim expression. His face was as dark as the bottom of the pot.
He was already thinking of several ways on how to punish the sneaky grandson of him.
"Grandpa, are you upset?" Zhen-Zhen asked him as she noticed his contorted face.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGrandpa Lu tried his best to hide his annoyance towards his grandson. He was afraid that Lillie might misunderstand it.
Putting a faint smile on his face, Grandpa Lu shook his head while saying, "No, I'm not upset, dear. I just remembered that there's someone I need to teach a proper lesson."
She didn't ask him further. Little did she know that Grandpa Lu was already referring to her naughty husband, Tristan.
"Lillie, what Tristan truly meant by saying that was you should become a good and faithful wife to him. Don't ever look with other men." He began correcting Tristan's statement.
"Yes, you should make him happy. But it doesn't mean that you need to follow every wish and request of your husband. He also has an obligation to make you happy. To be a good wife, you should also know how to deal with your husband properly." Grandpa Lu couldn't help but give her advice. He knew how hard to handle a man like his grandson.
"You also need to have a little bit of authority over your husband. Learn to refuse and to threaten him so that he would be disciplined." Grandpa Lu continued talking while Zhen-Zhen was just silently listening to him.
"If he commits a mistake and makes you sad, just tell him that he is not allowed to touch you, nor kiss and hug you. I assure you, this is a very effective way of punishing and disciplining your husband."
Grandpa Lu said it with so much certainty because it was already proven and tested by his late wife, Cassandra.
"And if ever he makes you cry, don't hesitate to call this Grandpa. I will help you beat him. Understand?" Grandpa softly said to her.
It seemed that Zhen-Zhen got Grandpa Lu on her sides now.
Zhen-Zhen couldn't help but feel touched by Grandpa's kindness and thoughtfulness towards her. She really appreciated it a lot.
"I understand, grandpa. I will keep that in mind," Zhen-Zhen responded to him politely.
Grandpa Lu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that. He didn't what to tell Lillie directly that Tristan had deceived her by telling her that a wife should always listen to her husband.
But Grandpa Lu was wondering why Lillie looked like she's an innocent naive girl. He was afraid that his grandson would take advantage of that as he would continue his bad habits behind his wife's back.
Grandpa Lu wanted to help and teach Lillie what she should do to control her husband. If possible, he wanted her to be fierce enough wherein Tristan would be afraid to do something that would make his wife upset and unhappy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGrandpa Lu just wished that Tristan finally let go of his womanizing acts or else, he would lose this newly found gem like Lillie.
He had to admit that after talking to Lillie and having a short bonding moment with her, Grandpa Lu could tell that she's a good person and he already liked her attitudes and behavior.
'She's not only beautiful on the outside but she also has a good heart. She's simple, kind, sweet, very polite, honest, very innocent, and pure.'
He wanted to commend his grandson for choosing a good wife like Lillie. Now, he wondered how his grandson would maintain his good relationship with his wife despite his ugly past and a bad reputation.
'I should find a time and talk to Tristan. I should make sure that he would treat his wife very well. Lillie is beautiful outside and out, a complete package, many men will keep lining up and try to catch her attention. I hope my grandson is not a fool not to notice that. Hmm, marrying her right away is a good decision before many more competitors appear.'
"Lillie, thank you for your time, entertaining this old man. I won't keep you long. I bet your mother-in-law is also waiting for you in the kitchen. You wanna join her, right? Let's continue our chitchat during lunch." Grandpa Lu said as he didn't want her to think that he invited her just to interrogate her.
Zhen-Zhen nodded her head with a smile. "It's also my pleasure to keep Grandpa's company today. I had fun by just talking to you, grandpa. I also learned more about Tristan's childhood and Grandma Cassie. Your advice is also helpful to me, grandpa. I will try my best to be a good wife for Tristan."
"Good, Lillie. Now, I will be at ease because you are Tristan's wife. I will leave my grandson in your care. Please discipline him very well."
Zhen-Zhen let out a soft giggle because of Grandpa Lu's last remarks.
"Alright, grandpa. I will do that. So far Tristan is behaving so well. I will follow your advice once he will do something wrong." Zhen-Zhen reassured him.
A mischievous smile flashed across Grandpa Lu's face. He was looking forward to that. He hoped Lillie would be able to discipline Tristan and show him who's the true boss between them.
Grandpa Lu had already decided on whose sides he would be standing for.
