Chapter 187 Your Grandfather Is No Longer Confident
"Didn't you praise this young man before, saying he's not only talented and responsible, but also able to endure hardships that others can't?" Old Mrs. Yu looked at the old man and asked, "Why do you sound like you look down on him now?"
At the time, everyone said the new heir to the Ying family was gifted. Old Master Yu, who was already retired at home, chatted with her over tea, saying that this young man was extraordinary, able to endure hardships that ordinary people couldn't. Cheng Yan was likely to develop faster under his leadership than under Old Master Ying.
Grandpa Yu sees it clearly. There is talent, but there is more that others cannot see. It is the effort he has put in behind the scenes. No one can achieve this step without knowing anything and relying only on intuition and talent.
Old Master Yu was worried. "I used to look at him as a junior, but now he might become our grandson-in-law. That's different. How scheming can someone with such means and strategy be? Our little bastard is too naive to be defeated by someone like him."
The old lady disagreed: "You can't look at it that way, right? Dating is dating, what does it have to do with work? If you follow your argument, you are not a good man."
Grandpa Yu looked at his wife in surprise and doubt: "You didn't seem to have this attitude just now? You don't feel sorry for Xiaoguai anymore?"
"I just feel sorry for Xiaoguai." Mrs. Yu paused for a moment, then asked Mr. Yu in a low voice with a mysterious look on her face: "Old man, have you seen what the child surnamed Fu looks like?"
Mr. Yu didn't understand: "What?"
Yu Chi spat out the coffee in his mouth with a "puff" sound, and the old couple's attention shifted to him.
After taking a quick glance, Old Man Yu turned his head away with disgust and stopped looking at him.
"Grandpa, don't you understand? How did my grandma fall in love with you back then? Have you forgotten?"
Mr. Yu suddenly realized: "What's the point of being good-looking? Can good looks really make a living?"
Old Mrs. Yu nodded: "His face, yes."
Old Master Yu thought, movie stars, well, they can really make a living by relying on their looks.
"You can't just look at the face. People will get old eventually. How long can a face last?"
Old Mrs. Yu slowly reminded her husband, "His business is bigger than ours."
Old Master Yu couldn't refute it, and snorted for a long time: "To put it bluntly, you just look at how handsome he is, and don't consider whether Xiaoguai is happy or not."
Old Madam Yu blinked and said, "Xiaoguai likes handsome guys."
The old man lowered his eyes to glance at the soundly sleeping Xia Yang. This grandson was just like his mother. He took after his wife and only liked beautiful things and people. He would only eat the pretty ones. If the homemade snacks were not pretty, he would not even look at them, let alone eat them.
"Hmph! How good-looking can you be? You only have one nose and two eyes, right? Can you be as good-looking as I was when I was young?" He was a famous handsome young man when he was young, otherwise he would not have stood out among the many suitors of Old Lady Yu.
"Why don't you search it?" Old Mrs. Yu couldn't bear to criticize him in front of the youngster, so she reminded him gently.
"No. What's so good about it? Does he have anything to do with me? Why should I waste my time watching him?"
"Look, your grandpa is no longer confident." Old Mrs. Yu winked at Yu Chi.
Yu Chi quickly expressed his loyalty: "No matter what others think. In my heart, my grandfather is the most handsome man in the world! No one can replace him!"
After saying this, he looked at his grandfather, expecting praise. But the old man's face became darker and darker.
"Hahaha! Did you see that? The public has sharp eyes. This is what your own grandson said. What he means is to abandon family affection, and no matter who sees it, the actor will be more handsome than you." Old lady Yu said a few stabbing words on the side, thinking it was no big deal.
Old Master Yu was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. He glared at Yu Chi fiercely: "If you can't speak, then shut up! Did I ask you to speak? What's your business when the elders are talking?"
Yu Chi huddled in the corner feeling aggrieved: "Why am I always the one who gets hurt? Can I sleep too?" Yu Chi quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep to prevent the war from spreading further to him.
I've been so tired from working overtime lately that I pretended to be asleep, and I don't know when I finally fell asleep. When I woke up, the plane was about to land. The elderly couple across the street had reconciled as before, and Grandpa was smiling as he peeled an orange for Grandma. It was as if the scene just now had never happened.
Yu Chi, however, wasn't surprised. He'd seen this scene countless times since he was little. Grandma's greatest pleasure was to annoy Grandpa with all sorts of excuses, then coax him gently. Grandpa would then lose all his anger and happily continue to circle around Grandma.
At that time, he felt that love was too torturous. And the one being tortured didn't even realize it, enjoying himself like a fool all day long. He didn't want to be that kind of fool. It would be much better to just eat, drink and have fun every day. So when Shen Suizhi confessed his love to him, every hair on his body resisted. It was as if he could see his carefree days waving goodbye to him. It was terrible.
Arriving at the accommodation Fu Xiuyan had arranged, they were all stunned. Yu Chi and Xia Yang hadn't inquired about it since Fu Xiuyan told them he'd arranged it. They hadn't cared much about the type of accommodation, having become hands-off managers. So, they hadn't realized the place Fu Xiuyan had mentioned as being "reasonably large" was actually this big.
Although Mrs. Yu and Mr. Yu had heard Aunt Lin talk about the luxury of this place before, seeing it with their own eyes was another matter. What's more, this place was too romantic, as if they were in a painting.
This is a luxurious manor hidden deep in the forest. The building is a medieval-style white castle, surrounded by vast rose gardens and lavender gardens. As Fu Xiuyan said, there are various rare varieties of roses and lavender.
The garden alone was larger than the total area of their old house, not to mention the other lakes, rivers, farms, woods, vegetable gardens, orchards, and so on.
"Oh my god! What a generous deal!" Yu Chi was stunned.
Aunt Lin, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried over to greet them: "Master, Madam, are you tired from the journey? Get in the car." There was a special car from here to the castle entrance. The man waiting by the car was wearing a black suit and white gloves and bowed respectfully to them.
"Oh, this is the housekeeper here, his last name is Zhang." Aunt Lin introduced him to them.
"Chinese?" Yu Chi glanced at the butler.
Steward Lin smiled in a very standard way: "Yes, Master Yu."
Yu Chi raised his eyebrows. Fu Xiuyan’s people were so capable that they could accurately recognize him the first time they met.
“I thought the people who were in charge of taking care of this place would be locals.”
"Sir, you're not used to the locals. All of us who work here are from China."
"That's good. I'm used to our own family." When you go abroad and meet familiar faces, they are all family.
Aunt Lin followed Mr. and Mrs. Yu and opened the car door for them.
Butler Lin followed Xia Yang and said respectfully, "Young Master, please come in."
Mrs. Yu also noticed that Butler Lin addressed Yu Chi and Xia Yang in such different ways, but she pretended not to hear and continued to happily look at the garden outside the window with Aunt Lin.
Xia Yang's expression remained unchanged, but Yu Chi raised an eyebrow: "Oh, is it that obvious?"
Xia Yang gave Yu Chi a warning look, and Yu Chi said nothing more.
