Chapter 343: Who locked the door?

Grandpa Wang was quick to respond to Jian Yu saying, "Girl, I didn’t ask my question to demean you. You have been introduced as our grandson’s girlfriend. I believe it’s only natural for us to want to know more about you."

His answer was received with a number of different reactions by those at the table. Some like the Jun’s were surprised, others like Chi Lian and her brothers were relieved.

They had been forewarned about their grandfather’s preference when it came to choosing spouses for his children and grandchildren. Chi Rui was confident in his choice because she a princess but Chi Wei was worried because Jian Yu was an actress.

"Sorry," Jian Yu replied while looking at grandpa Wang apologetically but bravely. "I have heard that your Wang family is picky when it comes to the family background of the spouses of their children. I overreacted in a moment of misjudgment and I apologize."

"Yes grandpa, Yu-Yu did not mean to offend you." Chi Wei added.

Madam An pinched her husband’s thigh underneath the table and she sent him a warning with her eyes. Husband and wife shared a moment of silent communication.

Grandpa Wang then asked Chi Wei, "Who said that I was offended? And all that stuff about the Wang family being picky is a lie."

Old master Jun snorted and Grandpa Wang glared at him fiercely.

"Girl, even if the Wang family has some restrictions and requirements, this is the Chi family and not the Wang family, my grandson is a Chi and whatever choice he makes I will respect it." Grandpa Wang looked at Jian Yu and further explained.

He and his wife had already had this conversation. It would be ridiculous of them to enforce the Wang family rules on their daughter’s family when she was not raised a Wang. At most they could give an opinion but nothing beyond that.

Moreover, he quite liked this girl because she was bold and not afraid to speak her mind. She could be molded into the future matriarch of the Chi family if the relationship was a success and she married into the family.

"Yes grandpa, I understand and again I am sorry for the misunderstanding. Please excuse me for a bit, when I return I will properly introduce my family." Jian Yu said to everyone and she left the table.

"Where are you going Yu-Yu?" Mama Chi blurted.

"Bathroom." She replied.

"Oh, do you know your way around? Should we get a maid to show you around?" grandma An asked.

"Yes, I will appreciate it." Jian Yu smiled.

Grandma An looked at her personal maid Danda who was never far from her and said to her, "show Yu-Yu to a bathroom."

While Jian Yu was gone, the awkwardness in the air still remained. Everyone was pretentiously trying to be so absorbed by the deliciousness of the desert but their body language was tense.

"Say something host, I am not at that table but I am dying of tension." T4 who had been quiet all night told Chi Lian.

"You are a virtual pet, how can you die of tension?"

"I don’t know host, I will have to run a simulation to figure that out."

As she contemplated what right words to say to break the ice, grandma An beat her to it and said, "I hope she is not offended. She has been gone for ten minutes now; I am beginning to think she has to run away."

All eyes turned to the entrance of the dining room.

"Yu-Yu is not a runner mother, she has a bold personality. I will go and look for her." Mama Chi volunteered.

"No mom, I will go." Chi Wei left the table and went in search of Jian Yu.

With Chi Wei gone, madam An glared at her husband with frustration on her face. "Did you have to ask that right now?"

"It was a harmless question." Grandpa Wang defended himself.

"Not to her," Old master Jun jumped into the conversation. "You have been gracious to Rize all night and you asked her about her future plans. On the other hand, the first question you asked Jian Yu is about her family background. Maybe she feels like you prefer Rize as a grand-daughter in law over her."

Everyone that had not noticed these things suddenly realized that they had missed all this during the dinner.

"I did not notice that I was doing that, I will correct the narrative when she returns." Grandpa Wang said thoughtfully. "I was sincerely trying to know about her."

"I am sure she will understand." Papa Chi added his own thought to the matter.

At that moment, Chi Wei returned, pulled Chi Lian aside and whispered something in her ear. After doing that, he left again.

"What happened, where is Yu-Yu?" Mama Chi asked Chi Lian.

Chi Lian set down her fork and replied, "Mom, older brother has said that someone locked Jian Yu in the bathroom."

"What?" Mama Chi asked.

"What do you mean?" grandma An added a question.

Chi Lian continued to say, "I mean exactly what I just said, apparently brother found her locked in the bathroom in the northern wing of the house.

Chi Lian turned her gaze to the maid who escorted Jian Yu to the bathroom and asked, "Danda do you know what happened?"

"Chi-Chi..." grandma An said and then she stopped.

Chi Lian knew that her grandmother wanted to defend Danda. "I am not accusing Danda of anything grandma, I just want to know what happened when she took Jian Yu to the bathroom."

"Young miss; I escorted her to the bathroom in the northern wing because the closest visitor’s bathroom is being renovated. I left her there and returned here in case the madam needed me. I swear, I did not lock any door, it was open when I left."

"Are there cameras in the northern wing?" Old master Jun asked.

"No," grandpa Wang replied. "That wing has been pretty much unused so it has no cameras. If she was really locked inside then this was done by someone who knows this."

The situation was turning into a mystery that would require investigation.

"So who locked the door?" Old madam Jun asked.
