Unexpected Second Chance at Love Chapter 52 I need to take this call

——
In the living room of the Ji Mansion, Yue Ling and old man Ji sat on one sofa, while Ji Jingxu sat on the other one.
Ji Jingxu held a sulking expression on his youthful handsome face.
A while ago, after he and the old man finished looking at the gifts Yue Ling bought them, Housekeeper Hu informed them that dinner would be ready soon.
While they waited, they decided to catch up on life. He told Yue Ling about all his achievements in school and that he scored the highest out of the 500 students at his elite school.
He wants to follow his sisters footsteps and go aboard for university. He wants to attend the same university as her.
Their chat continued with laughters.
But why he was sulking? Well, he had wanted to sit next to his sister, but who would of thought, the old man was so shameless!
Thinking about it, Ji Jingxu glare at the old man beside Yue Ling.
Feeling the intense glare, Old man Ji didn't care and said nonchalantly,
"Jingxu, set an appointment with the eye doctor this week. I think something is wrong with your eyes. You keep squinting them, it's not good for your young health."
"Y-you old man! My eyes are perfectly fine!" he roar angrily with his finger pointing to his grandfather. His nostrils flare and he continued, "Old man, how can you be so childish?!"
Old man Ji looked lazily at his grandson and grinned evilly, "jealous?"
Jingxu: "You! I wanted to sit with jie! How can you push me and just purposely lie down!"
Old man Ji: "This one is too old to sit for long. So, laying down is good for the old. Right,Ah Ling?"
*swiss*
Both men's head turn to Yue Ling, who had not said a word while the quarrel like little kids.
"Uhh...."
She wanted to laugh but she couldn't. It would only sully the mood more.
Glancing at her red face younger brother, she sighed. Then looking at the old man next to her, she shook her head and sighed.
The old man was too shameless. He's already in his seventies but he was still as strong as the young man he was back in the days. How can he say he was old and needed rest?
She was sitting in the middle of the long sofa earlier, but now she sat at the end.
All because when Jingxu decided to sit next to her, the old man had 'accidentally' push... no, he shoved Jingxu away and quickly laid down, saying he was old and tired.
Ji Jingxu cross his arms and glare at the shameless old man. He scoffed and thought, 'So much for being a general with dignity!'
He shift his eyes to his sister, and his expression change to one of loving and care, "Jie, am I right? Or am I wrong?"
Old man Ji laid on his side, with one hand supporting his head and a mischievous smile on his old face.
"Jingxu, you are wrong."
"Old man, I'm not talking to you!"
Yue Ling, however, was too speechless to even say a word. But deep inside, she felt warmth, she knew the both of them. They may bump heads at times and others may think even think they hated each other, but they loved each other unconditionally.
Their arguments were more like little kids fighting over a toy.
She parted her lips to stop them from quarreling like a married couple, but...
*ring ring*
It was her phone.
She reached for her phone in her bag and looked at the screen name;
'5:37pm; Jade Condos'
Three lines appear between her pretty eyebrows. She thought, 'Why would Jade Condos suddenly call me? Did something happened?'
Before she left Jade Condos, she had informed the front desk about the things she purchased yesterday. Today was the day they were being delivered.
Pondering at the thought, she decided it was best to answer.
"Yeye, Jingxu, I'm—-"
She glance at the two man and was struck with speechlessness again.
While she was getting her phone, both men had stopped arguing and their attention glaring at the phone in her hand.
She was sure, if their eyes can send laser beams, her phone would have innocently died.
She coughed awkwardly, "Excuse me, I need to take this call."
Watching her figure disappear, old man Ji glare daggers at Jingxu, "See, now you've done it!"
Ji Jingxu also glare daggers at his grandfather, "Me? It's your fault for being shameless!"
"My fault? If you had just sat quietly, the situation wouldn't have come to this."
"Y-yyou!!!"
Quickly stepping out of the room, Yue Ling lets out a laugh, she could still hear the two men arguing from behind.
Looking down at her phone, she didn't hesitate to answer the call.
"Hello. This is Han Yue Ling."
[From the other side was Ting, the young man working at the front desk of Jade Condos, "Miss Han, this is Ting from Jade Condos, I called to let you know that all the things you ordered have arrived and put in your penthouse."]
"Mm. Thank you for calling."
["You're welcome Miss Han, if there's anything else you need help with, just let me know."]
Yue Ling thanked the young man again and hung up while walking back to the living room.
Just when she took one step in, her grandfather's voice stopped her and she looks at the old man who was now sitting up.
"I assume you won't be staying for dinner?"
Yue Ling felt guilty, but she still nod her head, "Mm. The receptionist at Jade Condos called, I have to sign some paperwork."
She really did have to sign some papers, the delivery papers.
Old man Ji sighed, "Child, you know that there are over thirty rooms here at the Ji Mansion, but you still went and bought yourself a place."
Yue Ling walked to the old man and sat down beside him, "Yeye, it's not that I don't want to live here. You know the situation I am in and Jade Condos is closer to my work place."
"I know, I know." The Old man sighed again, "I just envy Old Lou for having the advantage to see you more than this old me. Why don't you just come work at Ji Corporations?"
Yue Ling stare at the old man when she heard his question, she smiled faintly and replied, "Yeye, I have my own company to take care of. Plus, I don't want to fight for position with the other Ji members."
Hearing her answer, the old man snorted, "Hmmf! What fight? The position of CEO at Ji Corporation is rightfully yours. All those people do is spend money like there's no tomorrow and brag for being a Ji. If my Ji Corporation were to fall in their hands, who knows what will happen! Hmmf!"
Yue Ling looked helplessly at her grandfather, "Yeye...."
Old man Ji lift his palm and stopped her.
"No need to explain. I already gave my word to you. I will respect your decision and wait until you are fully compromise in taking over."
"Thank you, Yeye."
Old man Ji glance at his granddaughter and pat her hand, "Just make you don't forget about my upcoming birthday."
At his words, Yue Ling gently squeeze the old man's hand, "Of course I won't. I wouldn't miss it for the world."
She had already missed his birthdays the last three years. So naturally now that she's living in China, she wouldn't miss it.
Old man Ji's expression became more happier, he nod his head and smiled a small smile, "You may leave then."
