Chapter 180 - Grandfather He Was Never Greeted So Cutely
Chapter 180 – Grandfather He Was Never Greeted So Cutely
"You really have chosen some intelligent and trustworthy people, right?"
Inside the private room of a restaurant, Butler Zhang asked Grandfather He with panic filled eyes.
Grandfather He got angry at his question.
Sitting on his chair, he turned his face to look at his butler who was standing behind him.
"Old Zhang, just what do you think about Laotzu? Do you think that just because my son and grandson doesn't take me seriously they have become too great…even greater than me?"
Grandfather He's face was red with anger as he said these words.
Butler Zhang who was startled by his outburst stepped back wanted to nod his head at Grandfather He questioned but refrained himself from doing that.
Who knew if the old man fainted because of anger if he answered truly!
Grandfather He on the other hand took his butler silence as an answer in his favor and chuckled proudly
"Ha…"
When he turned his face around, Butler Zhang patted his chest and glared at the back of the old man.
'Damn old man…'
However, unbeknownst to his butler's glares, Grandfather He continued
"I still have people working under me…and that stinky grandson of mine doesn't even know about them. So he will never be able to know that it was me who had asked to bring that girl here."
Said Grandfather He very proudly.
However, his words never comforted Butler Zhang.
The old butler suddenly had an intuition that the old man was digging a pit for himself and for him as well.
He looked towards the door of the room and suddenly thought of running away.
But it seemed that he was too late now.
The door of the private room suddenly opened and the men Grandfather He had hired to bring that girl entered the room.
Grandfather He who was about to continue bragging stopped instantly and looked towards the door.
Butler Zhang frowned when he saw a girl held by the two men.
Even Grandfather He didn't like the way the two men were forcefully dragging the young girl inside.
However, their frown was soon replaced with realization when they heard Mo Roulan shouts and struggles to get free from the men's hold.
"You … son of bachelors ….just leave me. I can walk by myself."
Mo Roulan was so furious because of being dragged like that by the two men that she spoke whatever came in her mind.
"What are you doing? Leave the girl."
She heard a voice and turned her face to look towards the owner of the voice.
Her black-brown eyes went wide at the sight of an old man sitting in front of her eyes. However, the surprise she held in her eyes was not because of the old age of the man but it was because of how familiar his face looked with He Jian.
"He J…"
Mo Roulan stopped amidst her words when she realized that she was about to call He Jian by his name.
"Mr. He?"
She called out with uncertainty lacing her voice.
Grandfather He saw that the girl looked calm now so he signed the guards to leave the girl.
His eyes then roamed on the girl's face and then from up to down he assessed her.
She was a beautiful young girl.
Grandfather He nodded his head. However, his eyes narrowed suddenly the next moment.
Beauty was just another weapon for the girls to seduce rich men in Grandfather He's eyes.
That woman was also beautiful and hence trapped his son completely in her snare.
His eyes instantly became cold and he looked completely different from the Grandfather He who bragged and praised himself with his own mouth.
"You are not him."
He heard the girl's voice and looked at her again.
Mo Roulan looked at the old man in front of her with firm eyes.
He was not He Jian. His eyes were still completely different from He Jian.
He Jian had ice-cold blue eyes but this old man in front of her had pure black eyes.
Then who was he?
Could he be…
"You are right. I am not Jian. I am his grandfather." Grandfather He said coldly.
And with that, Mo Roulan eyes went wide again.
However, this time she soon composed himself. Her calm black-brown eyes looked around the room as she tried to comprehend just why she was brought by here.
The two men said that their master wanted to meet her.
Their master…was it He Jian's grandfather?
Mo Roulan again looked at the old man only to find out that he was also looking at her with narrowed eyes as if she had stolen something from him.
She looked away as she gulped.
In her past life, she never met any member of He family. So she didn't know just how she should behave in front of He Jian's grandfather.
A moment later, Mo Roulan sighed and bowed her head.
"Hello, Grandfather He. How are you?"
She called out politely just like the young children greeted their elders.
Mo Roulan didn't have any wish to involve herself with He Jian's family.
Scratch that…if she wanted then she didn't wish to involve He Jian also in her present life. That's why this evening she had requested him to forget everything and think that they are on equal terms in helping each other.
However, remembering the times' He Jian had helped her in this life as well as in her past life, she just couldn't ignore and act rudely with his grandfather.
On the other hand, Grandfather He who was greeted by Mo Roulan looked dazed.
He looked at the young girl standing in front of him. In his life, Grandfather He had seen many children. All of them belonged to noble families.
However, no children he met from noble families had actually greeted him like this in his life.
So respectfully, so genuinely …and so cutely.
The girl's soft voice still rang in his ears giving him an illusion as of she was greeting him again and again until he didn't respond to her greeting.
In a daze, he even replied very gently
"I am good."
