Elder Liu looked at Uncle Liu and the others who were unable to eat. He had been interrupted by Uncle Liu and the others’ sudden visit to study the ancient dical book. His pent-up unhappiness was imdiately alleviated.
Elder Liu was in a good mood. He picked up so of Chen ng’er’s favorite dishes and said, “Little ng’er, eat more. Look at your small and skinny body. Grandfather’s heart aches when he sees it.”
Chen ng’er heard Elder Liu’s words and looked down at her small arms and legs. Although they were not considered strong, they were not skinny at all. However, Chen ng’er still obediently ate up all the dishes Elder Liu picked up. “Yes, Grandpa, I will eat more in the future. But I’m already very full.”
Chen ng’er’s words successfully stopped Elder Liu from picking up the dishes for her. “Yes, then we’ll eat more next ti.”
The few elders across them looked at Elder Liu, Chen ng’er, and the grandfather-grandchild pair. With such a good relationship, the people who didn’t have much of an appetite put down the chopsticks in their hands.
“Have you all finished eating?” Elder Liu said when he saw that Uncle Liu and the others had just put down the chopsticks in their hands. After Elder Liu finished speaking, he didn’t wait for Uncle Liu and the others to answer. He directly said to Nanny Li, “Nanny Li, we’ve finished eating here. You can get soone to clean up this ti.”
“Yes, Sir.” Nanny Li knew that her employer didn’t have the sa food as Uncle Liu and the other elders from the side branches, so she looked at Uncle Liu and the others’ barely touched food, but she still acted as if she didn’t see anything, she ordered soone to take away all the dishes on the table.
Uncle Liu and the others looked at the dishes that were taken away. Their faces were red and white. Although they were not in the mood to eat, Elder Liu could not treat them like this, after all, they were guests.
By the way, Uncle Liu and the others had yet to straighten out their identity. In Uncle Liu’s eyes, it was already good enough that he did not chase them out, much less treat them as guests.
Uncle Liu and the others did not straighten out their identities, but they were stunned by the look in Uncle Liu’s eyes just now. For a mont, they only dared to express their dissatisfaction in their hearts, but they did not dare to say it out loud.
After everything on the dining table was cleaned up, Elder Liu said to Nanny Li, “Nanny Li, help make so tea. As for ng’er, give her a cup of milk later.” Elder Liu felt that... a child of Chen ng’er’s age was not suitable to be drinking tea. Therefore, every ti Chen ng’er ca over, Elder Liu would prepare a lot of milk at ho.
“Yes, Sir.” Nanny Li answered and walked out.
After Nanny Li left, Elder Liu adjusted the expression on his face, he looked at Uncle Liu and said, “I said, I specifically asked Zhuge to call you. I told you not to co empty-handed. You won’t forget about this, right?”
Elder Liu looked down on the people from the Liu family’s side branch. But since they ca to him, he had to protect his precious granddaughter and get so benefits.
Moreover, Elder Liu knew that Chen ng’er would have to face the people from the Liu family when he regarded her as his heir. And now, he had to pave the way for Chen ng’er while he still had so tricks.
So, although Elder Liu was unwilling, he still opened his mouth and introduced Uncle Liu and the others to Chen ng’er.
Uncle Liu and the others didn’t expect Elder Liu to take the initiative to start this topic. Originally, Uncle Liu was still agonizing over how to open his mouth and change the topic back to Chen ng’er, Elder Liu’s new adopted granddaughter.
From what they could see, Elder Liu’s adopted granddaughter was no joke. Elder Liu really doted on this god-granddaughter to the core. And now, they wanted to see if Elder Liu was deliberately putting on an act for them, or if it was real.
And after Uncle Liu and the others figured it out, they could go back and reformulate their plans.
“We might have forgotten about this. We all brought gifts,” said Uncle Liu as he took out a brocade box from his pocket. Then, he revealed a smile that he thought was very amiable. He looked at Chen ng’er and said, “You’re called ng’er, right? I’m your grandfather. Here, take this. This is your grandfather’s greeting gift to you.”
Uncle Liu’s smile, which he thought was amiable, made Chen ng’er feel very uncomfortable. If it weren’t for the fact that Chen ng’er still had her manners, she would definitely tell Uncle Liu to stop smiling. His smile... was really not very good-looking.
After Chen ng’er heard Uncle Liu’s words, she did not go forward. Instead, she turned her head and looked at Elder Liu with an inquisitive gaze. She waited for Elder Liu’s instructions. Chen ng’er was not a real child. When she saw that there was a gift to take, she would not be so excited that she would recklessly rush forward.
When Uncle Liu saw Chen ng’er’s reaction, he was quite surprised. Speaking of which, just now, when Chen ng’er was eating, Uncle Liu had paid attention to observe Chen ng’er. At that ti, when he saw what Chen ng’er was eating, he felt that this child did not look like what they had heard from the news, she had co from the countryside.
From Uncle Liu’s point of view, Chen ng’er’s eating habits were better than those of the young masters and young ladies in their family. She had a sense of elegance and nobility.
This thought only flashed through Uncle Liu’s mind, and he did not delve into it. But now, when he saw Chen ng’er turn her head to ask for Elder Liu’s opinion, he was surprised but also more enlightened.
This Chen ng’er didn’t look like a three-year-old child who ca from the countryside. And he also sowhat understood why Elder Liu would make an exception to recognize this three-year-old Chen ng’er as his god-granddaughter.
No matter how Uncle Chen and the others were feeling right now. In any case, Elder Liu was in a very good mood. Although Elder Liu wasn’t worried that Chen ng’er would pounce over when she saw the gift, when Chen ng’er used her eyes to ask for his opinion, his mood couldn’t help but start to bubble.
“Since it’s a gift from your grandfather, you don’t have to stand on ceremony. Take it.” After Elder Liu said that he turned to look at Elder Liu, he continued to say to Chen ng’er, “ng’er, this is your grandfather. Your grandfather used to be a high-ranking official in the Capital. Although he has retired now, he still has connections. So, if you encounter anything that can’t be solved in the future, you can look for your grandfather to help you.” After Elder Liu said that to Chen ng’er, then he said to Uncle Liu, “Am I right?”
“Yes, ng’er, if you have any problems, feel free to look for your grandfather.” In terms of scheming, Uncle Liu had never been Elder Liu’s match. And previously, Elder Liu had not hesitated to pay attention to them.
Therefore, Uncle Liu was instead checkmated by Elder Liu, so he could only reply with a stiff smile.
