The phone call was not from Tina, but from Joe.
Lily looked at the caller ID and answered, "Hello, Grandpa."
"Girl, where are you?" Joe said anxiously.
"I..." Lily looked at Eric subconsciously and answered, "I'm outside. What's wrong? Grandpa?"
"Outside? Are you not with Tina?"
"No… I didn't." Lily looked at Eric again and answered with a little guilty.
"Who are you staying with now?" Joe kept asking.
"I... I..."
"Are you with the Gu family's child now? You were together last night, weren't you?"
"How do you know?" Lily blurted out. She knew that the child that Grandpa Gu referred to was Eric. But
the strange thing was that grandpa did not know who she was join the banquet last night. How did he
know?
"Bastard! Look at yourself. What have you done?" Joe said angrily, along with the sound of pounding
the table.
"Grandpa, is… What happened?" Asked Lily. It was the first time her grandfather had been so angry
with her.
"How dare you ask what happened? Check today's morning paper!"
Hearing that, Lily's eyebrows trembled. She had a bad feeling.
"Go back to the old house now. Don't go anywhere else!" Joe said angrily, "Bring the child of Gu family
back with you."
"I… I know, Grandpa." No sooner had she finished speaking than the phone was hung up.
Looking at the mobile phone in her hand, Lily was confused. What happened again? How could
grandpa be so angry.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Asked Eric, seeing her depressed.
Judging from what she said just now, it was not difficult to guess that something must have happened.
Although he could not hear the voice on the phone, he heard clearly what she said.
"I don't know." Lily was confused. "Grandpa asked me to read the morning newspaper today. He also
asked me to go back to the old house and take you back."
"Let me go back with you?" Eric frowned.
"Yes." Lily nodded. She was also confused. "Grandpa knows that I stayed with you last night."
Eric's brows furrowed even tighter. Although his affair with Lily was agreed by her mother, Tina and
Kerr, nobody else knew it.
And now Joe asked her to take him back, and his voice was very bad. It was obvious that he was a
little disagree with the fact that Lily was with him.
At that time, he didn't choose to expose it completely because they were too young and he was afraid
of causing the opposition of the Gu and Qiao family.
"Don't just stand there. Get up now." Lily nudged Eric who was lost in thought with her elbow. Then,
she got up first and went to the bathroom to wash herself. Although her left hand was bandaged, she
could still wash with her right hand.
Seeing this, Eric also got off the bed. He took the dress that Lily took off yesterday to the bathroom.
Because there were no other clothes, she could only wear this dress back.
When Lily saw him walk in, she didn't show any shy expression, as if she had been used to it. He
helped her took off her clothes and changed the dress.
After getting washed, they went downstairs.
When they came to the first floor, they saw Ellison in pajamas lazily drinking a glass of milk.
"Morning." Seeing them, Ellison said, "There are different kinds of sandwiches in the fridge. You can
heat them."
"No, thanks." He went straight to the living room and looked through all the newspapers on the coffee
table, but he didn't find the one he wanted to find.
"Where is today's newspaper?" He turned to Ellison and asked.
"It should be in the mailbox. I haven't checked it yet." Ellison took a sip of milk and was curious as he
saw Eric was in such a hurry to find today's newspaper. "What's wrong?"
Without answering him, Eric went straight outside. Lily didn't follow him. Instead, she waited for him in
the living room.
"What's wrong with him?" After a look at the back of Eric, Ellison looked at Lily and asked.
"Something happened." Lily answered with a frown.
"What happened?" "What happened?" asked Ellison confusedly.
"I don't know. Grandpa just called and asked us to read newspaper on our own. I think something bad
must have happened."
At the sight of this, even Ellison frowned and stopped drinking milk, lost in thought.
After a while, Eric returned. His face was dark and frightening. He crumpled the newspaper in his hand.
"What happened?" Lily asked.
He passed the crumpled newspaper to Lily, "Read it yourself."
Lily took the newspaper and saw the striking headline on the front page.
The young lady of the Qiao family kissed the second young master of the Gu family in the bathroom!
The deliberately enlarged red title attracted people's attention, with a photo at the bottom of the title,
which was very clear.
They just passionately kissed each other in the washroom, from the front, from the side. Even their
faces could be seen in the photos. Moreover, there were a few photos of her and Andrew together
below.
Although the shooting angle was not good, all of the pictures taken with Andrew were he holding her in
his arms. Some of them were talking sideways and smiling at each other.
What's more, there was a small title below: new male partner and old lover are together. Miss Lily stays
with both of them.
Lily became more and more angry, then she looked up at Eric and said, "Shouldn't it be something
related to the party held by AF Company? Why are they making reports about it?"
"This is an entertainment report and AF Company is in another." Eric answered, frowning.
"They are so annoying." Lily scolded, "No wonder Grandpa would lose his temper."
"Let's go."
"Where are you going?" Lily asked subconsciously. She was too angry to react for a while.
"To visit your grandpa." Eric replied.
"Okay." She then came back to her senses.
"Lend your car." Eric said to Ellison.
Ellison pointed at the vestibule and said, "The key is over there."
"Yes." Then he walked out with Lily in his arms.
After they left, Ellison walked to the front of the left newspaper and bent down to pick it up. When he
saw the content on it, he unconsciously raised his eyebrows and smiled. He had been under this page
for many times before. But this time it was Eric's turn.
When the car stopped at the old house of Qiao family, Lily took a deep breath. She had seen Joe losing
his temper before, but it was not against her. It was the first time today. She didn't know what was
waiting for her.
Seeing that she was nervous, Eric turned around to look at her and reached out to hold her hand. He
comforted her in a soft voice, "Don't worry. You have me. I will always be with you."
Lily turned around to look at him. She took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind. "Well, let's
face it together."
As if trying to encourage each other, Eric held her hands hard, and they smiled at each other and got
out of the car at the same time.
They walked into the living room. Joe was sitting stiffly on the sofa. When he saw them coming in hand
in hand, his eyes twitched.
"Grandpa."
"Grandpa Joe."
They stopped in front of him and they spoke at the same time.
Joe didn't say anything, but put on a much more serious look on his face and demanded, "Get down on
your knees!"
"Mr. Joe..." When Eric was about to say something, Lily secretly pinched his hand, stopped him, then
let go of his hand, and knelt down obediently in front of Joe.
Seeing this, Eric knelt down too. Since he had decided to face it with her, he would never let her kneel
down alone.
When Joe saw that Eric also knelt down, his eyes flashed for a moment, and then he looked at them
with a very serious expression. "When did you get together?"
When did they start dating?
Faced with this question, the two kneeling people turned their heads at the same time and looked at
each other. They didn't know the exact time yet. How long had the accident happened? When they fell
off the cliff? Or the last time she was almost raped but was saved, or when she holding him to cry?
She could not remember clearly. She didn't have to deliberately do something. They were naturally
together.
"Grandpa..." Lily turned to Joe. "I don't remember. I just know that every time I need him, he will appear
in front of me. When I was raped in the school, it was he who saved me. It was he who helped me
when I was knocked out to take indecent photos; it was he who saved me when I fell into the water and
almost drowned; it was he who saved me when I fell into the cliff and at that moment, he even pulled
me and fell with me..."
Lily's voice choked with sobs as she spoke, "I was misunderstood by everyone except him. And it was
he who found evidence and cleared it for me. Grandpa, I fell in love with him. How could I let him go?"
She asked Joe with tears in her eyes.
Hearing her words, Joe frowned. Among all the things she said, there were many things he didn't know.
"Why? There are so many things you haven't told me?" He asked in a much softer tone than before.
"I don't want you to be worried. Besides, you were not in good health at that time." Lily answered
honestly.
"Then what happened between you and Andrew?" Joe asked again.
"Grandpa, I treat him as my elder brother, and I call him 'brother' all the time. He also saved me once."
Lily replied.
Without saying a word, Eric knelt down quietly with Lily and held her hand tightly.
