Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu-Chapter 1016: Eligible bachelor

"Naturally, I will be in a hurry. I am the spotlight designer."

Jing gave her a thumbs up. "That's the attitude, young lady. Have confidence in yourself as if everybody is beneath you muahahaha!"

Jin threw him a threatening look. "Should I crush you beneath my foot for now?"

"That's mean! Bro, is that how your son talks to his elders?" He sniffled dramatically.

Ailun blinked. "But are you an elder in a true sense?"

"What is that supposed to mean, brat?" His gaze darkened.

"Are you not a child trapped in a man's body? Same like Great-Grandpa. You are not real elders."

He gasped. "Such bull-"

He got a look from Jinhai to control the cursing words from coming out.

On the other side, Jian wrapped his arms around his brother's neck and smiled. "No need to be in such a grumpy mood, Jini-boy. She is just busy."

"Yes, she is busy indeed. Busy hiding," he glared at Alix.

"Busy hiding from my idiot sister and the reporters-"

"Alixxxxx!!!!"

Liu Hai rushed towards her at lightning speed and squeezed her in his embrace. "I finally found you!"

He cried. "Why were you not visiting the villa these days? Are you mad at me!"

Alix tried to breathe amidst his crushing hug. "Huh? What are you…talking about?"

"Because I promised that I will make you my granddaughter-in-law but I am yet to find a potential suitor for you! Are you angry that I went back on my words? I swear I didn't!" He exclaimed with all the strength in his lungs.

Jin stared at Liu Hai as if his words didn't register in his mind similar to the twins.

"Sorry what?"

"When did this development occur?" Nian asked speechlessly.

Liu Hai brightened. "Isn't she such a bright and smart woman? I decided that she has to be my granddaughter-in-law! Unfortunately, Nana doesn't have a secret fifth son," he lamented.

Jinhai grimaced. "Why would he be a secret son?"

"Maybe because you wouldn't be the father of that child duh?"

Jinhai's face blackened. "You are becoming senile, old man. Do you want me to throw you in an old age home?"

Everybody choked. For Jinhai to curse out so harshly meant that Liu Hai had crossed his limits.

Even Grandpa can get angry, Ailun wondered.

Liu Hai glared. "That is not how you speak to your elders, brat!"

Jian pressed his lips and asked, "So in the absence of this secret fifth son, how were you exactly planning to make her your granddaughter-in-law?"

"Adopting a suitable candidate into the Liu family? What else would I do?"

"..."

A vein popped on Jin's forehead. "What nonsense do you keep thinking about!"

He gasped. "Are you saying that Alix becoming the family's daughter-in-law is nonsense?"

"I meant you searching for an adoptive grandson is nonsense, idiot Grandpa!"

"What is nonsense in it!?" He glared back. "Who else is single and available in our family to become Alix's husband?"

"Are you too blind to see-"

Jin froze midway and abruptly stopped speaking. Everybody's questioning gazes immediately fell upon him.

"What? What am I too blind to see?" Liu Hai scowled. "You cannot be talking about yourself, right? You are a useless single man anyway who doesn't deserve Alix!"

Jian whistled meaningfully. "What were you insinuating little brother?"

"O-Of course I wasn't talking about myself-Hold on."

Jin was panicking to defend himself when he realized it.

"I may be a useless single man but why the hell am I not deserving?"

Liu Hai snorted. "You are too bratty for her."

"..."

What does that even mean?

Nian protested. "Hey you said the same thing to me back in the day while matchmaking me with Ai."

"And did I not turn out to be right? Anyway, Jin cannot even court Shui properly, why the hell would he deserve any other woman! So the most deserving candidate I see to be adopted for now is Soo Yijun," he nodded gravely. "A well-behaved, rounded man, a responsible cop by profession and a great fit age wise too~"

Jin's brow twitched hard. "And have you asked Yijun if he would go along with this stupidity of yours?"

"Shut up, brat! Shouldn't he be honored to become her husband? He would gladly let me adopt him!"

"In your dreams!"

"Why are you getting so salty in the first place!"

"Because you are hugging Alix like a perverted hooligan right now and she has been trying to say something for a while but you are not letting her!"

"Oh? Oohh!"

Liu Hai merrily released Alix after which she could finally breathe.

"I am so sorry my dear~ I got a little excited hehe."

Alix breathlessly stared at the Liu family men.

"I…thought you were kidding last time."

"Kidding?" he blinked. "I was and am extremely serious."

"I will be happy if pastry aunt lives with us!" Ailun beamed.

While Alix tried to process this, the reporters who were searching for her all this while to interview her could barely register the shock too. Liu Hai wasn't too shy to whisper so they had heard the entire conversation.

The Liu elder wants Ren Alix to become his daughter-in-law?

It was the most explosive news they had come across in today's show. Seeing Alix surrounded by the Liu family men at all sides as if she belonged as one of them served as further proof.

This fashion show is becoming crazier!

Naturally, they didn't believe his claims of adopting Yijun into the Liu family just for Alix to get married to him so their radar fell onto the only eligible bachelor in the family as of now.

Liu Jin.

"But isn't there something already going on between Liu Jin and Han Shui?"

"I heard there were talks about their engagement!"

"Those are just rumors. They were never exactly a couple officially."

"But Ren Alix and Kang Yuze were. And they are sort of competing in today's show. Do you think Kang Yuze is affected by this? That will be so dramatic-"

"Can you please make some way for me?"

The reporters stood straight, the hairs on the back of their necks tingling with a fight or flight mode. They looked up to see Yuze pleasantly smiling at them. They quickly scattered around as he wanted.

"Thank you. Also…you shouldn't fan the flames where there is no fire burning to begin with. So be careful."

The reporters saw him leave, dumbfounded and stared at each other confused.
