Chapter 23 - The elderly Mr. brook showed off in the WeChat Moment.
The elderly Mr. brook immediately didn't care whether he could hug his granddaughter, smiling so brightly that the wrinkles on his face were much deeper.
"Okay, okay... I won't hug you, but Nancy is not tiring at all. You still need to eat more to grow up."
Nancy nodded lovingly and said, "Grandpa also has to eat more to be healthy, while I eat more to grow meat."
The little one subtly set a small goal for herself and grandpa, convincing the old man never to mention hugging her again.
Alex was astounded to listen to the conversation. "My lady is awesome!" he thought.
James was also a little surprised. He knew his father was getting increasingly grumpy. However, he didn't expect Nancy to change this old man's mind so easily. It was, indeed, better to have a daughter.
It was somehow adorable that the little five-year-old girl was held in the arms of her tall father with one arm.
As long as anyone saw it along the way, they were stunned, especially top management and some board chairman.
They looked at the elegant man and then at the soft little girl in his arms. The man smiled so happily-the kind of smile that came from the heart-that he seemed more moderate.
In the past, he would also smile, but it was that kind of polite smile that floated on the surface or the type of smile that sent chills down the spine when he played tricks on others. As the man in charge,
he was so dominant that he gave people a sense of oppression for no reason. But now, it seemed that he was not a president who strategised in business but just a father who enjoyed holding his daughter.
They had never seen James like this before.
"The Elderly Mr. Brook? What brings our old President to the company?"
The Elderly Mr. Brook smiled " Baker, have you eaten?"
"I've already had some. Are you going to dinner?"
He nodded happily and began to show off without batting an eyelash, "Well, I'm gonna have dinner with my granddaughter."
James nodded, "Hey, Mr. Williams. Nancy, this is Uncle Williams."
Nancy looked at the middle-aged man talking to her dad with big watery eyes full of aura. After hearing her father's introduction, she politely greeted Uncle Williams.
That lovely figure was a delight.
"Is this your daughter?"
James nodded reservedly, unable to conceal the pride in her eyes.
"Her name is Nancy; she is my youngest daughter."
Director Williams had also heard some of the gossip, especially the rumours circulating the purple. After all, the Brook family was the richest, attracting a lot of people who paid great attention to them. Previously, when Nancy went shopping with her mom, quite a few people in their circle found it out.
There were many people who had the means to gather the information that the Brook family did not deliberately block. Therefore, soon, everyone knew that the lost daughter of the Brook family had returned, and for the last three years, she had been there in a small backward village.
This made a lot of people wait to laugh at the Brook family: a girl who had been raised in the small mountain village for three years was probably an ugly rustic. In the future, she could not fit in with them in the future which would make the Brook family to be ridiculed by many people.
Before seeing Nancy, Baker thought that the only daughter of the Brook family would be a stain, but now...
He just wanted to tell those people not to make up stories in their heads. The one who said that this senorita from the village was rustic and ugly must be blind, he thought.
She was so courteous and well-behaved!
However, he was pretty happy. As one of the directors of the Brook Group, of course, he hoped that the Brook family would thrive. He wondered what the expression of those who spread rumours would be when they saw Nancy in person.
With this in mind, he looked at Nancy with a sweet smile, "Without any present, I'll transfer some money to your father and give it to you as your pocket money. I'll bring you a gift when I visit someday."
He transferred 100,000 to James's account on the spot as he said that.
James accepted it unreservedly. He planned to keep this money together exclusively for Nancy in the future so that she could use it whenever she wanted.
"Thank you, Uncle Williams."
Nancy expressed her gratitude nicely. Baker waved his hands and assured her that she was more than welcome. He parted James away after a few brief greetings. Watching their retreating figures, he immediately took out his mobile phone to share this startling disclosure with a few of his friends in a WeChat group.
The group was seniors and directors of the Brook family, and as soon as they saw the news, they immediately appeared in shock.
Baker immediately gave a brief account of what happened when he met James and Nancy just now and then typed in anger,
"She looks like the old lady..."
This reminded many elderly of the brilliance that the old lady exhibited earlier in her life. That one was truly a great lady born into a well-educated and wealthy family. Not only did her temperament crush all the affluent ladies at that time, but her looks were also as gorgeous as fairies. It was not an exaggeration. At that time, the noble prince who pursued her from home to abroad was all young talents, all fascinated by her intelligence and pulchritude. Nobody knew how many women has died of jealousy.
But in the end, she was pursued by the Elderly Mr. Brook. After that, the love between the two was praised and envied by countless people. It was a pity that this woman, who was at the top of her game in terms of both wisdom and appearance, died early of illness. After that, the old man raised two sons on his own and never remarried.
Although they hadn't seen Nancy in person, they all wanted to meet the sweet girl who looked so much like the old lady according to Baker.
At the same time, Nancy, who was sitting on her father's arm, sneezed a little. The two adults of the Brook family were immediately nervous as if they had encountered some great crisis.
"Nancy, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling cold?"
"Did you catch a cold? I'll call the doctor right away."
Alex was speechless.
"It's a little melodramatic. That's just a little sneeze!" he thought. Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.
He growled inwardly but didn't dare say so.
"No."
The little girl said in a syrupy voice. She sniffed at the delicate nose and reassured the two patriarchs whose stomach was filled with butterflies.
"I'm fine. Grandpa, Daddy, don't worry."
James was still a little uneasy as he put his palm to the little girl's forehead to test the temperature. Fortunately, his palm was warmer than the little girl's forehead.
"Hmm, no fever."
The elderly Mr. Brook was still worrying: "Do you want to take a thermometer?"
Nancy immediately grabbed their hands and said pitifully, "Grandpa, Daddy, I'm hungry."
The two adults instantly agreed, "Let's dine first."
