Chapter 415: Chapter 405: Territory

It turns out that ever since Old Master Xia arrived at the holiday resort, he has been posting photos and sharing his daily life in his old friends’ groups and in the Moment several times a day.

Such as what delectable dishes were served for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and how they differed from the day before; or sharing photos of the exotic plants that are rarely seen outside of the Mansion; or proclaiming that his hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia have improved, which now allows him to enjoy some alcohol; or sharing pictures of picturesque sceneries and the beautiful environment of the Mansion.

The sight of such a life made all those old men and women he knew very envious and curious about his whereabouts.

Old Master Xia simply told them that he had retired to his granddaughter Xia Yue’s place. He spoke highly of Xia Yue, saying it was such a blessing to have a granddaughter like her. He bragged that Xia Yue had provided her grandparents with a great place to enjoy their retirement where they could enjoy a variety of nutritious meals and desserts, along with fine wines, without having to worry about their hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia.

However, he refrained from disclosing his exact location, leaving the old men and women frustrated and resentful toward their own younger generations.

Some even contacted Xia Yu directly to ask the whereabouts of her grandparents.

It seemed as though Old Master Xia had anticipated this, and had already told everyone in the family not to disclose their location to anyone.

Thus, Xia Yu had no choice but to tell them that he didn’t know.

But those old men and women, aware of Xia Yu’s close relationship with Xia Yue, ignored everyone else in the family and kept pestering him.

He was afraid those old folks might get into some trouble while looking for them, which would get him into trouble, so he asked Xia Yue to try and rein in her grandpa a bit.

Showing off was one thing, but making such provocative remarks were bound to invite resentment.

"I never realized Grandpa had such a childish side. Truly, the older you get, the more childish you become." Xia Yue laughed after hearing Xia Yu’s explanation.

"Stop laughing and please persuade Grandpa. If those old folks find their way to your place, they might give Grandpa a collective beating," Xia Yu grumbled.

"Really? Those elderly men and women appear to be very polite and well-mannered." Xia Yue found it hard to believe Xia Yu’s words when she thought of the well-bred elders.

"You are so naive, Xia Yue. Our Grandpa and his peers were wilder than our generation when they were young. They had their fair share of group fights and car racing, it’s just they knew their limits, and accepted domestic arrangements when they aged." Xia Yu was quite taken aback when he first found out about this, and had even done some delving into their past deeds, finding it hard to believe what they were capable of.

"Indeed, appearances can be deceiving. They are welcome to visit, but they can’t stay in the Mansion. They can stay in the hotel instead." Xia Yue didn’t like having too many unwanted guests on her turf.

The current staff who lived there were only allowed because the number of people was too small. If there were more people in the future, she would have them moved to the Staff Dormitory in the hotel.

"It’s your turf, you make the call. But if they want to visit, they will definitely prefer to stay in the Mansion. To avoid putting you in a tough spot, it’s best to keep up the pretense as long as we can." Xia Yu knew Xia Yue might seem indifferent to many things, but she was particularly protective of her personal space and disliked being disturbed by too many people.
