Chapter 262: Chapter 128 Grandfather_2

Ah, right, right, right, whatever you say is true, I believe everything!

Suppressing a smile, Su Huai earnestly explained, "Don’t worry, Grandfather Wang, a gentleman doesn’t take what others cherish. Why would a young guy like me need your tea? I deeply appreciate Gugu’s kind gesture."

Good!

This kid is good!

Old Wang’s face beamed with joy, and his view of Su Huai was once again favorable.

He hurriedly pushed the tea cup forward, "Good kid, drink it while it’s hot; this is when it tastes the best!"

"Yes, Grandfather Wang."

Su Huai nodded obediently and slurped down another cup.

Old Wang also let go of his reservations, thinking: since it’s already brewed, you can’t take it back, so the sensible thing to do is to happily finish this pot.

Let’s set everything else aside and discuss it later...

Thus, the old man and the young began to sit opposite each other, sipping tea.

Su Huai demonstrated his flattery skills, continuously asking about various details of "Yihong" tea, delighting Old Wang so much that he was bouncing with joy.

If things continued this way until the end, today would definitely be an occasion where both host and guest enjoyed themselves thoroughly.

But the harmony was short-lived; after a few minutes, Gu Jiuyue brought out a pile of boxes.

The moment Old Wang clearly saw the packaging, his smile completely froze...

You little spendthrift, how dare you take out whatever you like?!

On top was a 2016 special edition gift box of "Duyun Maojian Tea King No. 2";

At the bottom was a 2011 "Dahongpao" first buds spring auction lot;

Sandwiched in the middle was Chaozhou Fenghuang Dancong Song Cultivar No. 1, a 2016 harvest auction edition;

In her hand, she also carried an early-era Yunnan "Qizi" Pu’er tea cake...

Old Wang’s head buzzed in confusion, and he was especially puzzled: With over a dozen types of tea at home, how did you manage to accurately pick out the most expensive ones?!

"No, my dear granddaughter, why didn’t you pick some teas that taste better?"

The old fox’s dumbfounded expression lasted only a moment before he suddenly slapped his thigh and gestured, "No, no, that’s not right, go get that premium pre-Qingming Longjing tea, that one is this year’s spring harvest, the king of green teas!"

Gu Jiuyue looked down at the gift boxes in her hands, her face showing a trace of confusion.

"Really? But aren’t these the ones that were auctioned? That Longjing is just commercially produced tea, isn’t it?"

"!!!"

Her grandfather was dumbfounded again, at a loss for words.

Who would have thought that she would know such details?

Luckily, Huai never fell short when it was time to save the day.

"No, no, no, I appreciate the thought, but I wouldn’t drink such fine tea. I don’t even have a place to boil water in the dorms, and I certainly can’t just steep it in a glass cup, right?

Put it back; I’ll come over some time to taste them with Grandfather Wang. It’s really not appropriate to leave with gifts like these..."

Gu Jiuyue thought it over and realized she might have indeed been too hasty.

"Oh."

She obediently acknowledged and turned to take the tea boxes back to the study, allowing Old Wang to breathe a sigh of relief.

This little girl is truly frightening...

Wang Yuqing wiped his forehead, drying the cold sweat, and dared not make any idle talk with Su Huai anymore.

Su wasn’t the type to take advantage of the situation, but his granddaughter was so sincere that she really would give away anything good!

Sure, our family isn’t short on money, but do you know how hard it was for me to get those teas?!

I couldn’t even bear to let your father drink them, let alone a stranger!

The old kid was fuming when Gu Jiuyue suddenly peered halfway through the door, seriously reminding Su Huai.

"Class monitor, whenever you want to drink tea, just come to my house. Grandpa is usually busy with work, but I know how to brew those teas, too."

Su Huai beamed with a smile: "Sure!"

Gu Jiuyue, satisfied, retracted her head and trotted towards the study.

Wang Yuqing: "..."

My dear granddaughter, that’s enough!

Your grandpa has had enough of your preferential treatment!

Old Wang was experiencing this feeling for the first time in his life because, until now, Gu Jiuyue had never had such a highly regarded friend of the opposite sex.

Not to mention a friend of the opposite sex; she didn’t even have any close friends of the same sex.

So, the her of today seemed extremely foreign to Old Wang.

"Su ah..."

Wang’s heart was filled with emotion as he sighed deeply.

"You can tell, you really are good to Yueyue, she has never been this... caring to any other boy. I’ve heard a bit about your situation, but Yueyue’s approval of you is even higher than I had imagined, higher than the highest I could expect..."

What does that mean?

Su Huai heard him clearly but didn’t quite understand for a moment.

It felt like the old fox was making another move after his first plan failed, but this sentence alone wasn’t enough to judge the specifics of his next step.

So, Su Huai smiled modestly.

"Actually, I really haven’t done anything special, it’s all part of the class president’s duty, and to date, we haven’t even gone out alone to play, it’s just that we’ve bumped into each other a couple of times during morning exercise... So it’s not that I’ve done something particularly good, it’s just that Gugu is too kind..."

Su Huai was telling the whole truth.

He wanted to take Gu Jiuyue out to have fun, and she was willing to go with him, but he has been busy with the company stuff, and they hadn’t had the chance yet.

So, I have a clear conscience!

Nobody can pin any unjust blame on me!

Wang Yuqing knew this was true but that made him even more vigilant—having had so little one-on-one contact, and yet my dear granddaughter has been so influenced by him, if things continue this way, will she still be my Little Cotton-padded Jacket?

"Yes, both of you are good kids."

Wang Yuqing nodded his head, continuing solemnly, "Entrusting Yueyue to your care, both Old Lady Cheng and I feel at ease. I heard that you handled those people on the forum talking nonsense?"

"Yeah, I thought their excessive attention wasn’t very good." Su Huai replied cautiously.

"Good! You’re very attentive."

Wang Yuqing praised him again, then raised his cup in a toast, "Grandfather thanks you, next time something similar happens, feel free to deal with it boldly, our family can handle any consequences!"

That didn’t sound like a warning...

Su Huai silently drank his tea, then pledged his loyalty, "I will. She considers me a friend, so of course, I’ll do my best to help her. You don’t need to be polite with me, technically, you’re also my Grandfather."

What am I to you?!

That sentence really hit home.

Wang’s mouth twitched uncontrollably, and his beard quivered, his heart was stormy as if contemplating immediate murder...

It had been years since Professor Wang had encountered such a presumptuous youngster. The last time was when his eldest daughter was dating that scoundrel with the surname Gu.

But Gu was 26 at the time, how old is Su Huai?!

That’s just outrageous!

The atmosphere froze for a good three seconds, but Su Huai seemed oblivious, his eyes downcast as he carefully, enjoyably sniffed the tea aroma, sipping occasionally.

Of course, Gou Huai felt Wang Yuqing’s mood, but he didn’t care.

Dear grandson I am, after snatching Yueyue’s favorability rating, I can go free and easy, what do I care if you’re happy or not?

Try to chastise me, and I’ll bounce it right back at you, let’s see who suffers more.

I may not be good at head-on battles, but with moves and sudden strikes, I play like an assassin, skilled in pulling!

Su Huai’s fortune was about to exceed ten million, and he expected to gather at least several billion in cash from the era of internet celebrities, which bolstered his confidence and, thus, he felt less need to ingratiate himself with others.

Do you understand the concept of brazenly living off others?!

Of course, Wang Yuqing didn’t understand, but his perception of Su Huai became unprecedentedly complex, and that was for real.

This kid was too tough to handle, inscrutable, clearly no ordinary person.

No wonder his granddaughter, who never made friends, liked him so much... It seemed it was not by chance.

Upon realizing this, Grandfather Wang became extremely wary of Su Huai.

"Su ah..."

Mid sentence, Professor Cheng suddenly shouted, "Kids, it’s time to eat!"

Gu Jiuyue also moved to the doorway, "Su Huai, come quickly, I’ll take you to wash your hands."

Well, there goes the conversation.

Su Huai’s head snapped up, his smile clean, his eyes clear and translucent.

"Okay, I’m coming."

Then the young man stood up, and with utmost politeness, waited by the side, "Grandfather, please go ahead, do you need to bring anything with you?"

Wang Yuqing got up in a daze, his mind full of question marks.

Have I become Grandfather now?!

Can’t you be a bit more distant... call me back as Professor Wang?
