Chapter 773: Chapter 773 Goodbye Grandpa Chapter 773: Chapter 773 Goodbye Grandpa Hearing the old man say that, Shen Mianmian and Yang Xiaoxi felt it unsuitable to insist on escorting him any further, so they could only hand over the things to him, and reminded him, “Grandpa, please walk slowly on your own, take rests if you’re tired, and do pay attention to your health. You can co to our place next week.”
“Alright, thank you, young ladies.” The old man nodded repeatedly.
“Goodbye, Grandpa.”
Yang Xiaoxi said, waving her hand in farewell.
The old man watched the two leave. Not long after their departure, a man in his fifties ca out from an alley, “Old man, why did you bring them here?”
He was none other than Old Xu from the He Family.
He had been following them the whole way, worried about being discovered, and didn’t dare follow too closely.
The He Family’s patriarch laughed a few tis and pointed at the things on the ground, saying, “These two young girls were worried I’d go hungry, so they prepared so much food for . They were also concerned I couldn’t carry it all and insisted on bringing here. I had no choice but to lead them this way. If I hadn’t co up with an excuse, I wouldn’t know how to end the situation.”
Looking at the things on the ground, Old Xu also started laughing, “Xiaonan has a good eye. The girl he fancies is kindhearted. Just because of this alone, her character is not bad. If it weren’t for her family’s poor circumstances, she would be quite a match for Xiaonan.”
“Family conditions don’t represent everything. This girl might be successful in the future, it’s possible for her to be a match for Xiaonan.” The He Family’s patriarch hinted, inside and out, at his satisfaction with Shen Mianmian.
He had instructed Old Xu to thoroughly investigate Shen Mianmian’s background. The child had a hard life, pitiful since childhood, mistreated by her foster parents. Then she t Xiaonan, and her life started to improve, she even managed to buy a house on her own.
Although that house was not very auspicious, for a teenage girl to buy a house on her own was not sothing just anyone could do.
Given her inco from the vegetable shop, the girl did not need Xiaonan’s financial support. If he wasn’t wrong, in all likelihood, it was Xiaonan who insisted on offering financial help.
Unexpected, indeed!
Xiaonan had finally seen the light and even knew how to take the initiative. Truly a child of the He Family. Before, he thought Xiaonan was a bit dim when it ca to romantic feelings, but it seed that Xiaonan just hadn’t t the right one.
“Old master, you can rest easy now, having resolved a worry.”
Seeing the old master so happy and very satisfied with Shen Mianmian, Old Xu couldn’t help but smile.
“Rest easy about what?” The He Family’s patriarch’s expression suddenly changed, saying sternly, “That damn kid is in a relationship with the girl and hasn’t brought her ho. If I, this old man, hadn’t resorted to so tactics, who knows when I would have t my future granddaughter-in-law.”
He’s in a relationship with soone and still kept it from the family.
Keeping it from Fu Hua was one thing, but even hiding it from him.
“Old master, I think it’s not entirely Xiaonan’s fault. He must be afraid that you two wouldn’t agree,” Old Xu guessed.
“Am I such a fusty old man?” The He Family’s patriarch snorted, “Given the situation, before that girl graduates, Xiaonan won’t plan to bring her ho. At this rate, it’ll be several years before I get to hold a grandchild.”
“She’s still in university,” Old Xu gently reminded him.
The He Family’s patriarch let out a sowhat disappointed sigh, “Let’s go! Let’s discuss this back ho.”
Upon hearing this, Old Xu quickly picked up the things from the ground. The He Family’s patriarch looked at the items, and his mood lightened again, “This is like having a taste of my granddaughter-in-law’s cooking in advance.”
