One by one the Xiao family entered the dining room and sat down in their respective places. Start grandfather Xiao who occupies the last seat. The chair used to be occupied by the family leader, a chair previously occupied by Lucas' late father.
If normally Lucas is sitting in that chair, but not for tonight. Grandpa Xiao had already made up his mind, he was the one who would become the leader of the family, because he thought Lucas was not very worthy.
"Grandfather, why are you sitting there, that's Lu-Ge's chair," Deriel exclaimed as he looked at where Grandpa Xiao was sitting.
"From tonight onwards, this seat will be mine. And family leadership I'm taking over from now on so as not to shake things up again, and someone can't make a good decision without negotiating first with the family!!" Bright grandpa Xiao.
"It doesn't make sense. From the beginning Lu-Ge was the leader of the family, and he led this family well. Do not challenge the oldest Grandpa here, then you can make decisions as good as this speech. We disagree!!" Daniel said.
"Yes, we both disagree!!" Deriel's voice chimed.
Grandpa Xiao was indeed an elder, as he was the oldest in this family. However, he does not have any rights to the house let alone the power that has been held by Lucas. Because Lucas is the real head of the family.
It was no secret, since he was young, grandfather Xiao was indeed known as an ambitious person. Whatever he wanted, he had to get, and Grandpa Xiao would justify any means to realize his wish despite having to sacrifice others.
Tapps.. Tapps... Tapps...
The footsteps of someone who came interrupted the conversation of Grandpa Xiao and the twins and distracted everyone at the dinner table. Lucas came with a beautiful woman in a long black dress that contrasted with her porcelain-white skin. Who else would he be if not Serra.
Serra headed towards the seat occupied by grandfather Xiao. "Sorry, Grandpa. But you can't sit here, this is Lucas' chair, from the start he's sitting here and you should know it!!" Serra said and ignited grandfather Xiao's anger.
Brakk...
Grandpa Xiao got up from his chair while violently pounding the table. "Bad!! Who are you, how dare you set me up?! I am the elder in this family and the most entitled to all that is here, so don't be as good as you set me up!! After all you are just a stranger and nobody here, so don't interfere let alone act like a big madam!!" Grandpa Xiao's voice was full of emotion.
"You asked who I am?! I'm guessing you're not senile to the point of still asking who I am, do I need to introduce myself once again if you can remember who I am?"
"Village girl, watch your talk!! Don't you know who you're dealing with?! He was Grandpa Xiao, the elder in this family. You're just a stranger, but why would you dare to be so rude to her?!" Andien got up from his chair and cursed Serra.
"If I'm just a stranger, then what about all of you?! Are not our positions the same, you are also strangers here. The four of you are just hitchhiking for food and drink, because the host is my husband and his two twin sisters." Serra doesn't want to lose.
Serra will not allow herself to be humbled, let alone humiliated by them. As the host and head of the family, Lucas has given full power to him. And Serra was certainly not likely to waste it just like that.
"You~!!!"
"Young...!! Sister-in-law, that's great. We're both on your side, you're a really tough woman. Yoo... Brother-in-law, Yoo. Yoo. brother-in-law, Yoo." The twins are so excited.
Ignoring the noisy twins. Grandpa Xiao's attention rolled on Lucas who was standing next to Serra. "Lucas, Grandpa has made up his mind, from tonight all the power of this family let Grandpa hold it. Grandpa will live up to your father's last wish for this family, hopefully you don't mind."
"Sorry, Grandpa. But unfortunately you're not entitled to anything in this family, because papa himself handed over the leadership of the family to me. If you want to protest, please meet papa in the afterlife!!"
"Lucas, are you asking your own grandfather to die?! Grandfather is your family, but why don't you just give me any power and instead let a stranger do his best here?! Are you sane?!!"
"Right, it's obvious that Grandfather is an elder who should be respected, but why are you treating him like a useless item that has no price?!" Andien.
Lucas turned his head and looked at the woman cold and sharp. "If he wants to be respected the way he wants to be, he should also know how to respect others. And if you don't like it, then please leave this house. The exit is always wide open for anyone who doesn't like my rules!!" Lucas.
"Why are you getting so outrageous?!" Anita Seru.
"This is my home, and I'm the most powerful here. If you don't like it, please just go. Waiter, clear this table, there's no need for dinner. Everyone is full of their own arguments. Serra, let's go!!" Lucas grabs Serra's wrist and takes her away from the dining table.
No dinner tonight. Lucas ordered the waiters to clean the dining table and the food was not touched at all. And Lucas's actions were a form of his anger at Grandpa Xiao's attitude that was always acting arbitrarily.
.
.
Serra stopped his steps and confronted Lucas. She wanted to protest at her husband for suddenly pulling him away before touching his dinner altogether. Serra was very hungry.
"I'm hungry, why are you so cruel. You should have let me eat a little and then take me away!!"
"Don't be fussy, I know this is gonna happen. So I asked the waiter to prepare dinner for us. I know you must be hungry, we'll just have dinner in the room." Lucas answered and left.
Serra soon catches up with Lucas who has already entered the room. And upon arrival inside, Serra was surprised by the various luxurious dishes on the table. And Serra herself doesn't know when Lucas set it up. But that doesn't matter, because the most important thing now is to recharge his already rumbling stomach.
"Let's eat!!!"
