Chapter 1003: Chapter 644 New Spokesperson Chapter 1003: Chapter 644 New Spokesperson The old man didn’t imdiately refute Chu Mo’s words this ti.
His murky eyes turned toward the pink room across, where, despite the closed door, the poor sound insulation of the house allowed the light music inside to be heard clearly.
Chu Mo believed that, if they wished, the two inside could hear the conversation in the hall.
The old man with a goatee finally gently closed his eyes, his wrinkled face filled with conflict.
Clearly, he was no longer as certain as before that a stable and mundane life would excite his granddaughter.
Because he cared little for fa and wealth, the old man had low standards for living quality.
Even living in such a dilapidated house, he felt no dissatisfaction.
...
But his granddaughter, a girl in the pri of her youth, was like most ordinary girls.
She enjoyed beautiful things—nice handbags, fragrant perfus, and pretty clothes.
In the past, Liu Liu, knowing the hardship of her grandfather raising her alone, had always suppressed her own desires.
She always wore outdated clothes and never had any decent accessories.
Even after entering university, she hadn’t known how to use lipstick or eyeshadow.
Until her sophomore year, in an effort to lessen her family’s burden, she began streaming, and from that ti, she stopped asking her grandfather for living expenses.
It was also then, at the age of twenty, that she first learned to apply light makeup on herself.
At this mont, the old man in the hall couldn’t help but reflect on his life.
Born a martial arts prodigy and trained under a famous school, his earlier life had been smooth sailing.
Having beco a Great Grandmaster at thirty-eight, he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
At that ti, he was worth billions, not only controlling several multinational corporations but also commanding a huge underground force.
At forty, he fell in love with a woman and married, having a lovely son.
When he turned sixty, his son married as well.
Then, on the day his granddaughter was born, no longer satisfied with his current status, he challenged higher levels.
The outco: everyone except himself and his newborn granddaughter were eliminated.
Filled with regret and annoyance, he eventually took up arms alone against his enemies.
Although he avenged the major grievances, he lost everything.
Thus, the disillusioned old man retired from the world, disappearing from the public eye.
That was why he wholeheartedly wanted his granddaughter to lead a simple, ordinary life.
But he had forgotten one thing.
He had retreated to a quiet life after an epiphany, having experienced the peak of existence and seen all the splendors of the world, leaving him with no regrets.
But his granddaughter hadn’t seen the views from the top.
She was just an ordinary girl, inexperienced and still worried about her grandfather every day.
Deciding to make her live an ordinary life her whole life was just his own wishful thinking, enforced upon her.
But was that truly what the girl wanted in her heart?
Upon introspection, if his master and father had insisted he live an ordinary life at twenty, suppressing his talent, would he really have been happy?
For the first ti, the old man truly considered this question, and then, he had to admit that his past self had been too autocratic.
His granddaughter’s future should be decided by herself, whether she chose to live an unremarkable life or to experience the world’s splendor.
The only thing he could do, with the little ti left, was to safeguard her and smooth her path.
After a long silence, the old man’s gaze gently fell upon Chu Mo, his eyes faintly gleaming.
Monts later, the old man, having taken a deep breath, suddenly turned his head and called softly toward the room:
“Liu Liu, co out!”
As the old man’s words fell, a flurry of hurried sounds ca from inside, and soon after, a girl with a complex expression on her face walked out slowly.
The girl, with long hair cascading over her shoulders, obviously heard the conversation in the hall.
Her eyes darted around, but after a mont, she heard the old Mr.
Liu speak slowly:
“Liu Liu, Grandpa is already eighty-six this year.
Even if Grandpa wants to be with you for a lifeti, you must know that birth, age, sickness, and death are the norm in life.
Grandpa also has to adhere to this cycle.
I have at most three more years to spend with you.
Grandpa previously only wanted you to lead a simple life and never asked for your own opinion.
That was Grandpa’s mistake.
I apologize.
Now, Grandpa is asking you seriously, think carefully, what kind of life do you want?”
As the old man’s words fell, the pretty-faced girl, looking sowhat lonely, looked down and softly said:
“I just want to be with Grandpa.
Wherever Grandpa goes, I will go.
Whether it’s in poverty or wealth, being with Grandpa is the happiest thing for .”
The old man’s body trembled slightly, but soon, regaining composure, a satisfied smile erged on his face.
He nodded gently, then said with a smile:
