Xiong Zhi accepted the microphone. She was given a script and she rehearsed it before.
She glanced at the first row. She only looked at her grandfather's table. Nothing more.
"I wanted to thank my grandfather for giving me such a wonderful event for my birthday. Thank you, grandpa-ther." Xiong Zhi hesitated the last word.
According to butler Zhou Min, and to the script, Xiong Zhi was given permission to call Old Xiong, 'grandpa', and she could act more intimate towards him from this day forward. It was to make them closer and to tell the world that she was favored by Master Xiong. But Xiong Zhi couldn't do it.
She could not really call Old Xiong 'grandpa'. She was more comfortable in 'grandfather'.
The people clapped. Old Xiong just raised his hand to receive their clapped. Afterward, it turned silent.
Yeah, there was still more to the script.
Xiong Zhi had no choice but to glance at the other people in the first row.
