After the announcent, everyone went and greeted her. But of course, so unhappy and sour people couldn’t help the underhanded comnts, hoping to embarrass her.
"Miss Davi, welco ho. My friends and I were wondering why you have only co back now. We are very curious."
"Yes, I’m also quite curious. Did sothing bad happen that forced you to co back?"
"Or did Miss Sanae told you to coback since she doesn’t have a face to coback 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 co 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 mont, 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 sothing 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 won who were waiting for her to answer so that they could find sothing in her words that they could twist.
"Thank you for your sweet welco. You are so caring. I am touched." She said, surprising everyone before she excused herself with a smile, leaving the won speechless.
What the hell! She said she was touched with what we said?!! She’s being sarcastic right?!
Just as the won 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 won blurted in anger when a young man spoke behind them.
"Well, sohow, the way she acted just now... she carries herself like a gracious queen, acting like a mighty eagle, not wasting her ti dealing with the annoying little flies whose existence aren’t necessary at all." He said and the won’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 won didn’t dare talk back and were forced to shut their mouths.
At this mont, 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 imdiately 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 imdiately understood what may have happened so she held Davi’s hand with worry in her eyes.
"Are you alright, dear? Did soone bully you? Tell ." She exclaid 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 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 ti, 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 t her in an awards ceremony in Country C. My husband urged her to coback 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 ca ho. 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 statent, 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 mber 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 sowhat 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 ho imdiately.
"I’m very sorry grandma but I made a promise to soone that I would return imdiately. Don’t worry, I will return soon because I have people I really want you to et." 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 imdiately asked the man to bring her to the airport.
