Chapter 391 Another trouble?
After the announcement, everyone went and greeted her. But of course, some unhappy and sour people couldn’t help the underhanded comments, hoping to embarrass her.
"Miss Davi, welcome home. My friends and I were wondering why you have only come back now. We are very curious."
"Yes, I’m also quite curious. Did something bad happen that forced you to come back?"
"Or did Miss Sanae told you to comeback since she doesn’t have a face to comeback anymore, since she already cut ties to family so many years ago?"
"Yeah, I never heard about her for many years. I wonder what kind of life she’s been living all these years. If only she hadn’t left, she would be the CEO of Mizuhara corporation now, right?"
"That’s right, she was a very intelligent woman after all. It’s just too bad that she didn’t use her brain for the better."
"I agree. So yeah, Miss Davi, did your mother ask you to come back because she finally realized that she was nothing if she was not a part of this family? She might have realized that she didn’t want you to have the life she suffered so she’s returning you back, right?"
"You must have suffered a poor life, right? Poor young miss. You should have returned to us when you’re little."
As everyone spoke, Davi could feel their jealousy and sugar-coated malice. She had been around Hinari’s relatives enough to know when people were being insincere so this kind of situation was not new to her. She also saw how Hinari dealt with situations like this. Her mantra was ’offense is the best defense’ but at this moment, Davi didn’t want to follow Hinari’s example. Well, she wasn’t here to speak with these kinds of people after all. She’d rather reserve the energy she would waste on these unnecessary characters for something even more important later. Besides, she wasn’t fond of face slapping people with words, action was a way better weapon.
Thus, like a lamb who didn’t hear a thing, Davi simply smiled before them, shocking the women who were waiting for her to answer so that they could find something in her words that they could twist.
"Thank you for your sweet welcome. You are so caring. I am touched." She said, surprising everyone before she excused herself with a smile, leaving the women speechless.
What the hell! She said she was touched with what we said?!! She’s being sarcastic right?!
Just as the women gritted their teeth for failing to get the reaction they wanted from her, Davi smiled at them before she turned her back, leaving the useless characters who loved talking nonsense, without another word.
"Damn! She’s so cocky! Who does she think she is?!" one of the women blurted in anger when a young man spoke behind them.
"Well, somehow, the way she acted just now... she carries herself like a gracious queen, acting like a mighty eagle, not wasting her time dealing with the annoying little flies whose existence aren’t necessary at all." He said and the women’s expressions turned from bad to worse. However, the young man who spoke was the number one candidate to be the new master so the women didn’t dare talk back and were forced to shut their mouths.
At this moment, Davi saw her grandmother looking up the moon on the veranda with a wine in her hand.
She looked like she was in deep thought but there was a gentle smile on her face.
Seeing this, Davi quietly moved closer to her.
Of course, the old madam immediately sensed her presence and she smiled sweetly at her.
"Dear granddaughter, how has everyone been treating you?" she asked and Davi shrugged with a smile.
"I think I prefer speaking with you, grandma." She said and it looked like the old madam immediately understood what may have happened so she held Davi’s hand with worry in her eyes.
"Are you alright, dear? Did someone bully you? Tell me." She exclaimed and she looked like she wanted to exile the people who dared to badmouth Davi, causing Davi to chuckle softly.
"Don’t worry grandma. This granddaughter of yours doesn’t care about anything little flies say because they don’t matter to me at all." Davi replied and the old madam smiled.
"Good. You are indeed my granddaughter. You are also just like your mother." Old madam said as she turned towards the moon again as though she was starting to reminisce the past.
"Your mother... when she was young, she was always headstrong. She knew how to stand on her own and she knew what she wanted. But we failed to realize that we were too strict on her. My husband, at that time, wanted her to marry a powerful man but Sanae refused. She insisted that she would be the one to choose the man she would love for the rest of her life and no one else. Because of that, Sanae left. We realized our mistake, but it was too late. We lost contact with her and we thought that she was hiding from us. But a few years ago, my husband accidentally met her in an awards ceremony in Country C. My husband urged her to comeback but she still refused. However, she said things about you, and that you may want to return to the family. My husband was so happy when he came home. Since then, we waited for your arrival. It took another few years but now that you are here and it looks like our prayers have been answered. Don’t worry, okay? We will never force you to do anything against your will. We just want you to be a part of our family again."
After the old madam’s statement, Davi went and embraced her. She could feel faint feeling of regret in her eyes and she wanted to soothe her.
"Mm. Don’t worry grandma, I am here and am now officially a member of your family." Davi reassured and the two embraced.
After their heart to heart talk, Davi then said that she was leaving.
"Dear granddaughter, won’t you at least stay for the night? It’s still so early," old madam Mizuhara asked. Well, Davi was actually worried about Sei because their parting this morning was somewhat not good at all. Sei was so gloomy when she left that she almost wanted to take him with her. Her Sei looking at her with such a sad expression as she left broke Davi’s heart. That was why Davi changed her plan of staying over the night to go back home immediately.
"I’m very sorry grandma but I made a promise to someone that I would return immediately. Don’t worry, I will return soon because I have people I really want you to meet." She politely said.
In the end, the grandparents couldn’t stop her. The party had just started but she still left.
Outside the Mizuhara mansion, a chauffeur was waiting for her. She immediately asked the man to bring her to the airport.
