Chapter 5 Tit for Tat (2)

Chapter 5 - 5 Tit for Tat (2)Time has moved on, yet the scene remains vivid in memory.

Thinking of his deceased daughter-in-law, Old Master Jackson couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and he glanced at his slender and tall beloved grandson beside him.

At the same time—

Mia Ginger also watched him quietly.

In fact, she had instinctively looked at him as soon as Koa Jackson came in.

He was very tall, dressed in a soft white shirt and neatly pressed black trousers, emphasizing his height advantage perfectly.

Standing just a few steps away, even slightly bent over to support Old Master Jackson, he still appeared distinguished and upright.

His handsome brows were dark, slender, and extremely beautiful, complementing the serene, deep black eyes below, revealing a delicately carved elegance.

His gaze and voice, both gentle, exuded a polite detachment.

He seemed like a solitary white plum blossom amidst the winter snow, standing there with a natural grace, as if isolated from the world, his aloofness naturally commanding attention.

One couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration and longing.

No wonder a girl as proud as Zuri Ginger couldn't resist liking him...

Mia Ginger thought chaotically, her scrutinizing and mocking gaze meeting Koa Jackson's eyes directly.

He looked down from above, indifferent.

Mia Ginger froze then and there.

The voices of Lydia Williams and Charlotte Chester faded, the grand hall setting behind him vanished from her view, leaving only his contemplative eyes.

Big brother...

His elegant face perfectly matched the visage engraved in her memory for the past ten years.

"This girl." Charlotte Chester's slightly raised voice brought Mia Ginger back to her senses, and she quickly lowered her head, as Old Master Jackson's hearty laughter sounded in her ears.

Mia Ginger's head instinctively lowered further, and Koa Jackson could only see her delicate jade-like neck and slightly flushed ears.

Thinking of the fleeting infatuation in her eyes earlier, he unconsciously rubbed his fingertips and looked away.

Both sides had their elders present, so naturally, they couldn't say much.

Soon it was lunchtime.

As the group arrived at the dining room, before they began eating, Marianne Jackson happened to return.

It was summer, and she wore a blue dress with white polka dots, a round collar, her straight bangs revealing a bit of innocent charm. She sat down and smiled at Lydia Williams beside her, "Is that Mia Ginger?"

"No manners, you're two years younger than your Girl Mia, don't you know how to call her sister?" Old Master Jackson had just picked up his chopsticks, paused mid-air, and looked at her displeased.

"Grandpa, that's not right, we're the same grade, so of course, I can call her by name." Marianne Jackson said indifferently, and the atmosphere in the dining room subtly changed.

"Your girl is really clever, they've said she got accepted to Cloud Capital University? Zuri talks about it at home every day." Charlotte Chester originally wanted to liven up the mood but as she spoke, she thought of Mia Ginger beside her, and her expression stiffened.

"Zuri also is very smart, she's starting her senior year in college," Marianne Jackson said sincerely, and she looked up towards Mia Ginger with a cheerful smile, "Which school did you apply to?"

Lydia Williams nudged her with her foot.

Marianne Jackson pouted and glanced at her, grumbling, "Why? I'm just curious."

"Eat your meal." Lydia Williams whispered, glancing at Old Master Jackson's displeased expression, and smiled awkwardly at Charlotte Chester, "This girl has always been direct, speaks her mind."

A month ago, Mia Ginger unexpectedly returned home, and even though the Ginger Family couple tried to keep it hidden, news that their biological daughter had spent over ten years living in poverty still spread in the circle. It was said she couldn't even recognize the English trademarks on cosmetics, how good could her studies be?

That girl, really knows how to hit a sore spot!

Lydia Williams could be vague, but Charlotte Chester glanced at the indifferent Koa Jackson and couldn't bear it, smilingly admitting, "It's really my fault, losing her back then and delaying her for so many years. She naturally has to focus on her studies, we're planning to let her retake classes at Cloud Capital High School."

"Pfft," Marianne Jackson couldn't help but laugh, "Then next year, she might be my junior."

She was guaranteed admission to Cloud Capital University, the highest institution in the country, while everyone was aware of Mia Ginger's background, it would be difficult for her to even pass a regular college retake.

The mockery and sarcasm in this sentence were naturally meticulous.

Koa Jackson slightly frowned, giving her a look, while Old Master Jackson, seated at the head, warmly smiled and said to Mia Ginger, "The old man didn't even attend university back in the day, don't burden yourself, everyone has their fate, and I see Girl Mia as fortunate."

Old Master Jackson clearly expressed his protection, and the expressions on the dining table varied.

Marianne Jackson was chastised by Lydia Williams again, feeling depressed and biting her lip, just as the always silent Mia Ginger obediently spoke up, "Grandpa Jackson seems to have great knowledge. Thanks for your good wishes, my luck's been good—I received the Cloud Capital University's acceptance letter just the day before yesterday."
