Chapter 699: Truth and Lies 19
"Grandpa likes it, so I’m relieved." Xia Chuxue bit her lip and took out a tissue to wipe her tears."Silly girl, is it such a big deal?" Old Master patted her arm, "Don’t take it to heart."
Every time he looked at her, the guilt in his heart grew.
Xia Chuxue pouted her lips and looked up at the Old Master.
"Chuxue just came back and doesn’t understand anything, so it’s natural for her to act recklessly. It’s fine as long as Grandpa doesn’t mind."
"Our Feng Family’s granddaughter only needs to be happy. Why should she need to understand so much?" Old Master stroked Xia Chuxue’s head, his face full of pity.
It was undeniable that, at this moment, Xia Yinian felt a bit jealous.
If she also had such a loving grandpa, and if her grandpa said the same thing to her, Xia Yinian would really be moved to tears.
But, the fact that Grandpa was so good to her, whether he was her biological grandfather or not didn’t matter anymore.
"By the way, the Feng Family is hosting a banquet tomorrow night, you two must not be absent."
Old Master looked at Xia Chuxue, then at Xia Yinian.
It seemed like, with the two of them here, they were his whole world.
Meeting Old Master’s gaze, Xia Yinian pursed her lips, unsure of how to respond.
She had attended banquets of the wealthy before and had even once been the leading lady at the Gu Family.
It really didn’t feel good, it was her own engagement yet it seemed like she had no choice in the matter.
But luckily, this is the Feng Family, where it was not her turn to be the main character.
"Understood, Nian Nian knows."
Since Grandpa likes it, she will be there.
"A banquet? What kind of banquet?" Xia Chuxue looked at Old Master, her face lighting up with a smile.
She had always been thinking about the Feng Family legitimizing her status, so when she heard Old Master mention a banquet, she got really excited.
Perhaps feeling her reaction was a bit over the top, she immediately toned it down.
"Is it Grandpa’s birthday? I haven’t decided what gift to give yet."
"No, go rest early. You will be busy tomorrow." Old Master once again stroked Xia Chuxue’s head.
Although feeling a bit dismissed, Xia Chuxue didn’t show any displeasure.
"Okay." She nodded, then stood up, "Grandpa, then Chuxue will go rest first, you two take your time."
"Go ahead." Old Master watched her with a smile.
Xia Chuxue nodded once again and turned to leave.
She was well aware that Grandpa and Xia Yinian definitely had matters to talk about, and knew that Grandpa liked this damn girl more than her.
But, with her status, she wasn’t worried about Grandpa treating her poorly.
As long as that secret remained a secret forever.
Feng Yifan was right, do less of these trivial acts, and when acting, aim for bigger matters.
Xia Chuxue slightly curved her lips and left the hall.
"Grandpa, you should also rest early." Xia Yinian looked sideways at the old man beside her.
She didn’t quite like the idea of Grandpa doing the interview tomorrow, his body wasn’t suited for too much hassle.
But since he had already promised Xia Chuxue, Xia Yinian couldn’t say much more.
"It’s still early, Grandpa can’t sleep, and besides, don’t we still have things to do? Aren’t you interested in Grandpa’s secret recipe?"
The Old Master glanced at the girl in front of him, showing his discontent.
"Of course not, but Grandpa’s matters can’t surely be explained in just a sentence or two, and it’s almost nine already," Xia Yinian countered.
"No worries, sleeping at ten is just right. Sleeping too early means waking up at four or five tomorrow, which is pointless."
As he spoke, the Old Master used his hands to prop up his body.
