The strawberry fell.
Chu Xiuhuang grimaced in pain, âGrandpa, what are you doing! It hurts!â
âSpeak up! Whatâs going on with the little girl! I told you long ago, have fun but always take precautions. You canât let a woman carry your child, you little troublemaker. Iâm going to beat you to death today!â As he spoke, Old Master Chu picked up a feather duster from the side and began to lash out.
Chu Xiuhuang quickly dodged, âGrandpa, weâre at someone elseâs house, can you not make a fool of yourself?â
âAre you afraid that people will see your joke? The whole Chu Family, who doesnât know that my Chu Donggeâs grandson is just another Wei Xiaobao!â
Chu Xiuhuangâs face immediately turned black at the comparison to Wei Xiaobao.
âAll day long, never serious. Youâre thirty years old, yet you still think youâre twenty? Look at Ashen, heâs settled down with a young wife and living a carefree life! You, on the other hand, are barely a few months younger than him, but the gap is enormous. What sins did I commit in my past life, to have given birth to a wicked beast like you!â
âI was born to my mother, not to you.â
âYou little rascal!â The Old Master Chu was furious, picking up the feather duster to hit him.
âAlright, alright.â Grandma Huo interjected, grabbing the feather duster and making a show of breaking up the fight. âMarriage is all about destiny, no use in rushing it. Who knows, maybe Ahuang isnât destined to get married in this life.â
Chu Xiuhuang: ââ¦â
Oh, my dear Grandma Huo, are you trying to help me or hurt me?
As expected, Old Master Chuâs face turned pale from the scare, and he stopped talking.
He remembered an old prediction about his descendantsâ marriages being difficult to secure. Could this beâ¦
Chu Xiuhuang coughed a couple of times, picking up a strawberry and putting it in his mouth.
So sweet!
A while later, his phone suddenly rang. He stood up, âIâll go take this call.â
As Chu Xiuhuang walked out to the balcony, Old Master Chu suddenly stood up, âIâll go and check on the two kids.â
âThe kids are playing by themselves, what are you worried about?â
Old Master Chu chuckled awkwardly, âI still feel like checking.â
Grandma Huo didnât think much of it, âGo ahead, theyâre on the second floor.â
**
Old Master Chu arrived on the second floor, followed the sound, and came to the childrenâs room, he knocked on the door before entering.
The two little ones were sitting on the plush floor mat, playing with Lego.
Seeing Old Master Chu barging in, Little Luoluo tilted her pretty face, her large eyes blinking.
In Chu Old Masterâs eyes, this little girl was just too lovely, which gradually turned his smile into somewhat of a smirk, âTell grandpa your name, will you?â
A wary Fu Ziyang glanced at him. Somehow, this Chu Old Masterâs laugh gave off a rather malicious vibe.
With a baby voice, Little Luoluo answered, âMy name is Luoluo.â
âSo your name is Luoluo, whatâs your relationship with my grandson?â Old Master Chu began to prod.
My grandson? Little Luoluo didnât understand. Chu Xiuhuang hadnât introduced this old man downstairs. She pursed her lips, holding back her words.
The heart of the Chu Old Master, however, was set ablaze.
It must be that little brat who wouldnât allow her to speak the truth!
He sat down on the mat with difficulty, closely observing this little girl from up close.
Four or five years old, flaunting two long pigtails, her little face pale and tender, adorned with baby fat, but particularly endearing. Her delicate and dainty features promised a future beauty.
Unable to resist, he suddenly reached out.
âAh!â Little Luoluo cried out in surprise.
The bangs on her forehead were all pushed up.
âGrandpa, what are you doing?â Fu Ziyang quickly came forward, attempting to shield his little girlfriend.
But Old Master Chu was inexpressibly excited.
Beautyâs dimple!
This young girl had beautyâs dimples too!
All the children born into the Chu Family had beautyâs dimples!
That damn Ahuang, he really had an illegitimate daughter outside!
And he didnât even tell him!
That damn boy!
But while cursing, Old Master Chu was thrilled, his eyes were even somewhat moist.
Oh, heavens!
Finally, I, Old Chu, have a great-granddaughter!
He immediately asked, âLuoluo, whoâs your mommy?â
Little Luoluo was already a little frightened by him. He was muttering all sorts of things, just like a bad guy!
Fu Ziyang was also on guard, seeing Old Master Chu staring at Little Luoluo, he decisively pulled her behind him. With righteous indignation, he said, âGrandpa, Luoluo is timid, donât scare her.â
âIâm not!â Old Master Chu felt wronged.
Wasnât he allowed to get excited about seeing his great-granddaughter for the first time?
After some thought, he said, âYou must be tired from playing, right? Would you like a drink? Grandpa can go downstairs and get you some, would that be okay?â
Fu Ziyang eyed him suspiciously.
An idle mind is the devilâs workshop!
Little Luoluo hid behind him, only her pair of clear, large eyes were visible.
Chu Grandpa smiled widely and offered, âWhat do you like? Mangoes, strawberries, or oranges? Maybe some milk? Or⦠Soda? Sprite? Nutri-Express? Wahaha? Suan Wei Wei?â
He listed all the drinks that he could think of which children like.
Little Luoluo couldnât resist after hearing those items and licked her lips, she whispered to Fu Ziyang, âI want to drink orange juice.â
Fu Ziyang yet to answer.
âIâll go get that for you!â The old man hustled up immediately and happily ran out of the kidâs room.
Fu Ziyang: ââ¦..â
Little Luoluo: ââ¦..â
**
Grandpa Chu rushed downstairs, ordering imperiously, âQuickly, get me some orange juice!â
At this time, Chu Xiuhuang had finished his call and returned. He felt embarrassed seeing the old man acting this way.
So disgraceful!
He was at someone elseâs house as a guest and yet behaving this way!
Grandpa Huo also looked upset, âGo home if you want to drink something!â
âSuch miserliness! Fine, Iâll do it myself!â Grandpa Chu stormed off into the kitchen.
The domestic help reluctantly went on to help him.
A few minutes later, Grandpa Chu cheerfully returned upstairs with a cup of orange juice.
Chu Xiuhuang shook his head, this old man was never serious since his grandmother passed away.
**
âHere it is, the orange juice!â Grandpa Chu said, returning to the childrenâs room with the juice.
Fu Ziyang was frowning.
Hee hee, he promised to bring them orange juice, then why is there only one cup?
âHere, Luoluo, drink it quickly. Itâs specially made by your grandpa.â He had already referred to himself as âGrandpaâ.
Little Luoluo looked at him and finally accepted the juice, thanking him politely, âThank you grandpa.â
âNo need to thank me, just go ahead and drink it.â
Grandpa Chu looked ecstatic, watching the little girl bring the cup of juice to her lips and taking several sips.
He quickly asked with a kind smile, âIs the juice good?â
âItâs good.â Little Luoluo said in her milk-and-honey voice, and put down the cup.
âWant more?â Grandpa Chu asked again.
Little Luoluo shook her little head, âIâm full.â
Hearing this, Fu Ziyang immediately reached out his little hand, âThen Iâll drinkâ¦â
Before he could finish his sentence, Grandpa Chu picked up the juice and ran out of the room.
Fu Ziyang again: ââ¦..â
Little Luoluo also: ââ¦..â
**
Grandpa Chu returned to the ground floor with the cup, âIâm going home.â
Chu Xiuhuang was taken aback, âWhere are you going?â
âHome!â Grandpa Chu didnât even look back.
âHey, old man! If youâre going home, at least leave their cup!â Chu Xiuhuang raised his voice.
But no matter how loudly he shouted, Grandpa Chu, with half a glass of orange juice, already disappeared from sight.
Damn!
Chu Xiuhuang felt awkward, âIâm sorry, Granny Huo, Grandpa Huo. My grandpa might have dementia. He forgets things.â
He has taken the cup from their house openly. So embarrassing!
âIâll return the cup later.â He quickly added.
âDonât worry, if he likes it he can take it.â Granny Huo was very generous.
Grandpa Huo gave her a look in response.
That was his favorite set of white jade teacups!
Granny Huo pretended not to see this.
Checking the time, Chu Xiuhuang asked, âIs my elder brother coming today, Granny Huo?â
âHe said he is visiting a friend in the hospital, he might not come today.â
âAlright, I will leave as well.â
After all, he has important things to do.
âAhuang, stay for lunch.â Granny Huo stopped him, âThe lunchtime is almost here, donât let the child go hungry.â
Thinking about the little girl upstairs, Chu Xiuhuang hesitated and then agreed, âAlright.â
