Chapter 532: Chapter 532: Ready to Date Now

Lin Haoze quietly said to Song Yunuan, "Sister Little Nuan, can I tell my grandma that your youngest aunt is their favorite singer?"

"Of course, if you want to tell them, go ahead."

But Lin Haoze thought about it and then made a sad face, "The last time, I told my grandma and youngest aunt that Sister Little Nuan’s family bought a house here, and you also drive a big jeep. They didn’t believe it, claiming my mother taught me to lie and accusing me of being a liar. Even when I said that meal was treated by Brother Huai’an, they didn’t ask or believe it. Why is that?"

Song Yunuan glanced at the little boy, "It’s quite simple. Many people from Beidu think that Nanshan County Town is a small place—hardly any different from the countryside in their eyes.

This definitely includes your grandma and youngest aunt. They, of course, don’t believe it, especially now when it’s so hard to buy a house, like the courtyard house my family bought. If it hadn’t been for Second Grandpa’s help, it would have been impossible."

She then told Lin Haoze, "Don’t worry about it, whether they believe it or not doesn’t affect us."

Lin Haoze nodded, only half understanding.

But he felt that Sister Little Nuan was right.

"I was two years old when my maternal grandfather and grandmother passed away, so I hardly remember them. And I was seven when I came to Beidu, so my memories of Nanshan County aren’t very strong. But my mother always wants to go back home, yet my father and grandmother disagree. So, I think, when I get into university and have the capability, I will take my mother back to her hometown."

Song Yunuan praised him for being a good child.

But inside, she couldn’t help thinking that of course they wouldn’t want Aunt Xiu to go back. It took several days to travel there and back—who would do the housework and cook the meals?

Gu Huai’an smiled and asked Lin Haoze gently what he liked to eat.

Lin Haoze, being a smart kid, knew this wasn’t the time to pretend to be polite, so he mentioned a few dishes he had been longing to eat.

For instance, this restaurant had a dish called fried meatballs—crispy on the outside and tender inside, really, really delicious.

A classmate’s father had visited this restaurant and brought several home for his family.

With many kids in the family, the classmate only got one, didn’t dare to eat it, and brought it to school the next day. That single meatball was divided into six pieces by the students with a pencil sharpener.

Each one took a tiny nibble, savoring the delicious taste that lingered in their memories to this day.

So, Lin Haoze said to Gu Huai’an, "Big brother, I really want to eat the fried meatballs."

Gu Huai’an chuckled at Lin Haoze’s manner and said, "Okay, I’ll make sure you get to eat those fried meatballs."

Afterward, he ordered several dishes and told Lin Haoze that one of them was Little Asheng’s favorite.

Lin Haoze felt envious in his heart. He had asked Sister Little Nuan earlier why Asheng wasn’t there.

He was then told that Asheng had gone with Grandpa Gu, Brother Huai’an’s grandpa, to see the big tanks.

If only he were a little younger—Asheng is six this year and won’t start school until next year.

After Lin Haoze had eaten his fill, he asked Gu Huai’an if he could look around.

Little Ze was a smart kid; he knew Sister Little Nuan and the big brother had things to discuss.

Once Lin Haoze was gone, Gu Huai’an’s gaze softened as he looked at Song Yunuan.

The little girl had already become a big girl.

At eighteen, she could date and even get engaged.

But she was still just a tad short.

He didn’t know when he had started to have feelings for Little Nuan, and once he did, she was all he could see in his eyes and heart.

Every time he saw Little Nuan, he tried hard to control his emotions, keeping himself as usual—indifferent and discreet, without revealing anything unusual.

He poured Song Yunuan half a glass of juice and then told the waiter to pack up three portions of fried meatballs.

One for Little Nuan to take back, one for Asheng, and one for Little Ze.

Then, Gu Huai’an seriously shared with Song Yunuan the matter he wanted to tell her today.

It turned out to be related to this time’s grain transportation.

Recently, a group of pirates have been appearing on that shipping route, led by someone called Venom Fang.

Song Yunuan raised her eyebrows slightly.

This reminded her of Chairman Wang, far away in Xiangjiang.

In just a few words, she had got him to reveal what he had intended to do to her.

He wanted to find the pirate Venom Fang, that guy who dominated that sector of the sea like an emperor, with the nickname Venom Fang. This person was both ruthless and powerful, possessing his own crew,

and he and his team were quite the headache for some countries.

The plans for the grain trade weren’t a secret impenetrable to anyone; from what we’ve gathered, Venom Fang is targeting this batch of grain.

Song Yunuan was somewhat confused. Did Venom Fang intend to make his plans widely known?

She had just spoken on the phone with Kurt Gymm today, and she hadn’t yet informed Old Master Gu.

Because according to the required procedures, preparation would also take about half a month.

Song Yunuan knocked on the table, finding the situation a bit troublesome.

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, one should not travel to Tiger Mountain.

[Little brother, if I say I’m going to escort the grain-laden cargo ship, would you think I’m boasting?]

Gu Huai’an felt a jump in his chest.

I wouldn’t think you’re boasting, but I would definitely not let you go.

The grain trade plan can be canceled, we can’t take this risk.

It’s not about being cowardly, but about whose turf it is. In that lawless stretch of sea, Venom Fang truly is the king there.

Obviously, he is smart and knows who to provoke and who not to provoke; he has strong backing.

To an emerging power like the Dragon Kingdom, he wouldn’t even bat an eyelid, seizing goods outright or detaining them, and although such incidents have occurred many times, they usually end up being begrudgingly swept under the rug for various reasons.

Song Yunuan can be very obedient and compliant at times.

Gu Huai’an said she didn’t need to worry about this, and then canceled the grain trade plan.

Song Yunuan said, then let’s find a place now to call Kurt Gymm.

Gu Huai’an had also come to find Song Yunuan after receiving the news.

It wasn’t extremely urgent, as notifying the other party to cancel would suffice since operations had not yet begun.

Unfortunately, Dongfang Hong still had many limitations at present, like not being able to connect with many provincial cities.

Therefore, a landline was still needed.

Gu Huai’an told the server to inform the boy when he returned that the two of them had stepped out for a bit and would return soon.

He also asked the server to serve him a portion of ice cream when the time came.

Then the two of them went to the office of the restaurant manager.

Naturally, the restaurant manager recognized Gu Huai’an and after a few words, he left his office for the two of them to use.

Song Yunuan had three telephone numbers that Kurt Gymm frequently used.

It was the third number that got answered, but not by Kurt Gymm, rather by an assistant given to him by his father.

Song Yunuan asked, "Is Kurt Gymm there? I want to speak with him."

The assistant obviously knew who Song Yunuan was and replied enthusiastically with a smile, "Miss Song, our young master Kurt Gymm has already set off."

Song Yunuan was taken aback, "What do you mean he has already set off? We just spoke on the phone seven hours ago."
