Chapter 907: Chapter 907 Grandpa He Protects His Own

After all, many people of Grandpa He’s generation, especially those from prominent families, do not like the acting profession.

Everyone understands that once this movie becomes a box office hit, Shen Mianmian might very well enter the show business, even though she had never previously thought about it. But she doesn’t dislike the industry either.

Grandpa He laughed and said, "Although I’m old, I’m not muddled. Don’t think that just because I’m old, I’m an out-of-touch fogey. With Xiaonan taking care of you, you can pursue whatever career you like without fear. Even if it turns out to not be suitable, the He Family is behind you."

Grandpa He wasn’t worried at all about Shen Mianmian entering the entertainment industry. He believed that Shen Mianmian knew her limits in acting, what roles to take, and what to decline. She knew all this herself.

He also wasn’t afraid of anyone bullying Shen Mianmian; with his grandson around, no one would dare.

Touched by his words, Shen Mianmian said gratefully, "Thank you, Grandpa."

Yang Xiaoxi joined in with flattery, "You are the most sensible grandpa I have ever seen."

Grandpa He was very happy to be teased by the both of them, but Ruan Feng remained silent on the side. Although he hadn’t been involved in this industry, he knew that it would be a busy and difficult career. But since Shen Mianmian had chosen it, he couldn’t really say much.

After spending some more time chatting with Grandpa He, Shen Mianmian and Yang Xiaoxi suggested it was time to go back, and Grandpa He arranged for Old Xu to drive them to their residence.

As soon as they left, Ruan Feng expressed his concerns with a worried face, "Grandpa, you really don’t oppose Mianmian acting?"

Grandpa He picked up the tea from the table and took a sip before responding calmly, "Young people have their own ideas. I am practically buried in the soil already; why should I interfere with them? The times are developing, progressing. I can’t be like what others say, an old man who can’t appreciate the new world. As long as Mianmian and Xiaonan occasionally find time to come see this old man, I am already very satisfied."

Not only was Shen Mianmian moved this time, but Ruan Feng was also touched. "Mianmian is lucky to have you," he said.

"This child is smart, and there’s good fortune in her future," Grandpa He said with a smile.

Ruan Feng added, "It’s all thanks to Xiaonan. If Mianmian hadn’t met Xiaonan, she might still be living a hard life."

Putting down his teacup, Grandpa He gave him a look, "Are you planning to drag this out forever? When do you plan to acknowledge Mianmian as part of the family officially?"

It had been over a week and still, the Ruan Family hadn’t made any move, and Grandpa He was starting to get impatient.

Ruan Feng pursed his lips, troubled, "Lingyu, sigh."

He sighed deeply and did not continue.

Grandpa He frowned, "Mianmian is such a sensible and excellent child; what is there for her not to be satisfied with? Go back and tell her, if she doesn’t acknowledge Mianmian as her daughter, then from now on, Mianmian is part of our He Family. If she regrets it later and wants to acknowledge Mianmian again, I, this old man, will be the first to refuse."

This was originally a matter for the Ruan Family, and he shouldn’t have gotten involved, but Lingyu’s refusal to recognize Mianmian aroused Grandpa He’s protective instincts.

Ruan Feng said helplessly, "Grandpa, whether Lingyu acknowledges Mianmian or not, I definitely will. I’ve been looking at houses recently, planning to buy one near Mianmian, so it’ll be more convenient to visit her."

Grandpa He snorted, "You’re twenty or thirty years younger than me, yet not one of you has a clear head."
