Because of a phone call from his grandfather, Chen Ming had no choice but to put away his thoughts of wanting to calm down. He gave his grandfather a call back.
Chen Ming wanted to persuade his grandfather to obediently stay in the Wharton family and not take a plane to Beijing.
But who was Elder Wharton? His stubbornness was well-known in their circle. How could Chen Ming persuade him not to do what he wanted to do? Actually, Elder Wharton had been antsy for a long time. He had long wanted to come to the capital and meet Elder Liu.
Speaking of which, Elder Wharton and Elder Liu hadn’t seen each other for several years. Elder Wharton missed Elder Liu very much. Furthermore, he was extremely curious about Chen Meng’er, Elder Liu’s adopted granddaughter. He wanted to see just what kind of person she was to make Elder Liu turn so soft and to break his grandson’s heart.
Before this, Elder Wharton had wanted to come to the capital. However, he didn’t have any excuses to do so. He was afraid that Elder Liu would insult him when he came to the capital. Therefore, he stayed put. This time, there was such a good opportunity and such a good excuse to come over. How could he miss it?
So, no matter how much Chen Ming tried to persuade him over the phone, Elder Wharton only left him with one sentence. “Cut the crap. I’ll be there tomorrow. Clean yourself up properly. Don’t make me feel that you’ve hurt the reputation of the Wharton family. You don’t have to care about other things.”
After saying this, Elder Wharton bluntly hung up.
“Young Master, how is it? Elder Wharton isn’t coming, right?” Not only did Chen Ming not want his grandfather to come, even Mr. Smith didn’t want Elder Wharton to come. Elder Wharton could be considered a top figure, and Mr. Smith was also very impressed with Elder Wharton, however, when he thought about Elder Wharton’s temper, he felt a little listless. There really wasn’t anyone who could serve and tolerate Elder Wharton well, other than the old butler who was by Elder Wharton’s side. When Mr. Smith thought back to the painful experience of being by Elder Wharton’s side in the past, he felt some lingering fear.
“Do you think that with Grandpa’s temper, others can easily change his mind?” Chen Ming asked in return.
“No.” Mr. Smith shook his head, and then his shoulder collapsed. He could foresee what kind of scene this old man would make when he arrived in the capital. “Then Young Master, I’ll get someone to tidy up his room, in case he comes tomorrow and sees that it hasn’t been cleaned before and gets angry.”
“Go.” Chen Ming waved his hand at Mr. Smith, indicating for him to get back to work.

Chen Ming started to prepare for the arrival of Elder Wharton.
Meanwhile, Chen Meng’er finally heaved a sigh of relief where Elder Liu and Elder Qu couldn’t see. She was really afraid that if she continued to stay with her grandfathers, these two would really notice something. At that time, she would not know how to put out the fire.
“Little Miss, Sir and Elder Qu are just worried that you’re young, and afraid that you’ll be hurt by Yuwen Jing.” Zhuge Yu couldn’t help but speak up for Elder Liu and Elder Qu.
“Uncle Zhuge, I know. I know what they are thinking. Don’t worry, I don’t find them annoying. It’s just that you know that Grandpa has keen eyes. Nothing can escape his eyes. You know, I’m just a kid. I need to have my own secrets.” When Chen Meng’er faced Zhuge Yu, she looked mischievous.
