At the middle stood a stern-eyed old man with a long beard. Sitting cross-legged in front of the old man was a chubby girl. And, on either side of the old man were Lu Ting and Lin Yueqi, while Lin Yu stood to Lin Yueqi’s left.

She pointed towards the people on the paper and explained, “Great Grandpa, you’re the one with the beard, and this one is Tuantuan. This one is Papa, and the one in the dress is Mama. Also this one, you might not know her but don’t worry, Tuantuan will introduce her to you! This is Tuantuan’s granny, she’s a big beauty who’s super good at cooking!”

Lu Ting looked nervously at Tuantuan.

Lu Ting and Old Lu were the only people in the Lu family so the old man was very strict with his discipline. If he dared to behave like this when he was a child, then he would have gotten the cane.

How could Tuan Tuan, whose skin was so delicate, be able to withstand his education?

While Lu Ting was fretting over that, the old man reached over to pick up Tuan Tuan, putting her on his lap. The old man had a rare smile on his face and he praised her. “Yes, Tuantuan’s drawing is very good. Tell Great Grandpa, who’s your favorite person in this picture?”

Tilting her head to the side, Tuantuan thought about it for a while. “Everyone! Great Grandpa is cute just like Papa, so Tuantuan likes Great Grandpa very much!”

The old man froze for a moment, but then he smiled brightly.

Tuantuan asked, “Great Grandpa, can Tuantuan touch your beard? It’s so cool! Tuantuan’s classmates said that I wouldn’t dare to pull on Great Grandpa’s beard, saying that I’m just bragging about being brave.”

“Oh? They said that about you? Does that make you angry?”

“Yeah! But I’m not angry. Even though I’m not angry, I still want to touch Great Grandpa’s beard so I can brag later!”

The straightforwardness of the girl was very convincing for the old man. He nodded. “Sure. Great Grandpa will allow you to pull on my beard, then you can go and tell them. Great Grandpa loves his great-granddaughter Tuantuan so no need to brag. You can even pluck my beard clean if you want to.”

Tuantuan stroked the old man’s white beard with her meaty hand and said, “No, Tuantuan won’t pluck Great Grandpa’s beard. It’ll hurt. If Great Grandpa hurts, Tuantuan will hurt too. Tuantuan doesn’t want Grandpa to hurt.”

Being coaxed by a sweet girl like her, even this old man’s ice heart began to melt.

Right at this moment, Li Murou brought the maids in to serve up the food.

Even though Lin Yueqi and Lu Ting were together tonight, Li Murou knew the old man’s character. Casual talk was not allowed at the dinner table, unless it was related to work. Under such a harsh and tense environment, Li Murou believed that the two of them would not try anything flirty no matter what.

Every time a dish was served up, she would introduce it.

Tuantuan looked at Li Murou and reached out to wrap her arms around the old man’s neck, pouting. “Great Grandpa, why is she here?”

“She’s the chef that Great Grandpa hired. She came all the way here to cook for my good little great-granddaughter. I’m sure you’ll love her food. Trust in your Great Grandpa’s judgment.”

Tuantuan grumbled. “But Great Grandpa, I don’t like her. Everyone on the internet is saying she’s Papa’s first love, but Papa said she doesn’t know this aunty well at all. Great Grandpa, my Mama is still here, isn’t it unfair for Mama if Great Grandpa tells that auntie to come as well? Look, my Mama is already getting jealous! She keeps making eyes at Papa.”

Lin Yueqi who was trying to signal to Lu Ting with her eyes was caught red-handed and met with the gazes of both the old man and the girl with an awkward face.

She had drunk too much water and wanted to go to the toilet, but she was eating at someone else’s house and didn’t know their rules well. She didn’t dare to get up to go to the toilet at all. So, she could only wink hard at Lu Ting.

Old Lu looked at Lin Yueqi and asked her straight on. “Do you mind Murou’s presence here very much?”

Lin Yueqi nodded her head hard.

She didn’t hide it at all, nor could she be bothered to. This old man had wise eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything. With her excellent intuition, she could tell that he was definitely planning something big.

A man like him couldn’t possibly be unaware of the online gossip about Li Murou and his grandson. If Old Man Lu really wanted to set up his grandson and Li Murou, then there was no need to wait until she and Tuantuan appeared today.
