Having heard Qin Jiran’s words, Old Master Su looked towards Qin Jiran, while Su Yanyi looked at Old Master Su, apparently also observing her grandfather’s expression.
"Jiran’s words do make sense. Grandfather doesn’t seem to be angry," Su Yanyi said, showing she had so understanding of her grandfather. Her words were a clear confirmation.
Seeing both young ones say that, the Old Master didn’t keep a stern face anymore and instantly beca all smiles, "If the gift is real, of course I’d be happy. I’ve been thinking about this gift for a long ti, just afraid it might be fake."
Real or fake? Could it be an antique? Su Yanyi thought but then felt it wasn’t quite right. Though Old Master Su liked antiques, he wasn’t obsessed with them, and she hadn’t heard of anything he wanted but couldn’t get. After all, with the Su family’s status and connections today, there wasn’t much that Old Master Su couldn’t obtain if he wished.
So, what could it be other than antiques that could be real or fake?
"Grandfather, just tell us honestly, what is it exactly? Why insist on having Jiran and co ho to see it? It’s not a ploy to trick us into having dinner with you at ho, is it?" Su Yanyi looked at Elder Master Su suspiciously. Her grandfather seed to be artificially mystifying things a bit too much. She and Jiran might have been duped. It was indeed sothing Grandfather might do!
Ever since she was young, Grandfather Su had always favored Yanyi and liked to tease his granddaughter, especially since Su Yanyi always maintained a cool deanor. He couldn’t resist wanting to see her break expression, but every ti, his granddaughter avoided it, much to his chagrin.
Alas, why is it that children beco less adorable as they grow up? They were so cute when they were plump and tender, wanting to pull an arm and pinch a foot. Now, even wanting to see them requires a reason!
"I wouldn’t stoop to lying to you. You’ll see when you get back. Humph, that gift is definitely way cuter than you two!" Old Master Su got a bit prideful and then turned his head to look out the window, clearly no longer interested in entertaining Su Yanyi’s queries. The sight made both of them want to laugh. Everyone spoke of the Old Naughty Boy, and it looked like they were seeing one right then.
Soon, the party of three arrived ho. Housekeeper Uncle Fang was there at the door to et them, with a sowhat solemn expression that nonetheless didn’t lack joy, bearing a striking resemblance to Old Master Su’s deanor. Given this, the gift seed to be genuinely existent, but it was still unknown what it was that had these seasoned characters so conflicted.
"Master, Eldest Young Mistress, Young Master-in-law, you’re back. Sir and Madam have already arrived, and Big Brother Su is on his way back. He should be ho around one in the morning," Uncle Fang reported. It seed that not only had Father Su and Mother Su returned, but Big Brother Su had also made his way back from abroad. With this developnt, the significance of the gift seed to elevate even further, which piqued the curiosity of Su Yanyi and Qin Jiran even more!
"Where is he? Take to see him," Old Master Su asked eagerly as the group had not yet entered the house.
Hearing this word "he," Su Yanyi felt taken aback, as if she had suddenly co to a realization. Although she didn’t know which "he" it was, it didn’t prevent her from speculating that the gift might not be a thing but a person!
So, soone had given her Big Brother a person as a Christmas gift, and this person elicited such a strange reaction from Grandfather. But who could this person be?
"He is in the living room. You will see him as soon as you enter, Master," Uncle Fang had just finished speaking when Old Master Su quickened his pace, clearly unable to wait any longer.
Just as Uncle Fang had said, there was indeed soone in the living room. When Su Yanyi and Qin Jiran walked in, they saw the person causing Old Master Su’s dilemma and then began to feel a bit conflicted themselves.
