Zhong Changfa didn't know yet that the job position he had been looking forward to for so long would finally be changed. At this moment, he was in the tea room of the special service department, pouring tea for a clan leader with a fawning look on his face.

"You said your granddaughter and Commander Xue's grandson are good playmates?"

"Yes, yes! This granddaughter of ours, even though we adopted her, is so smart. Ever since she moved into our family compound, Commander Xue's grandson has been calling her home to play with her every day! Today, when I went out, I heard my granddaughter practicing the piano at home. My family members said that this child and the Xue family's grandson agreed that she would play the piano for the other child at the birthday party."

Zhong Changfa was very proud and boasted about it.

Upon hearing this, the team leader immediately showed an envious look on his face.

Old General Xue, that's a big shot who can speak in front of the No. 1 leader! If I had a daughter or granddaughter who played well with Old General Xue's grandson like Zhong Changfa did, then I wouldn't have to suffer so much as being a team leader for so many years.

When the team leader spoke to Zhong Changfa again, he changed his condescending attitude, snatched the teapot from Zhong Changfa's hand, swiftly took out a new enamel pot, poured a cup of tea himself, and politely handed it to Zhong Changfa.

"Old Zhong, come and try this tea! This tea is different from the ordinary tea in our tea room. This is the fresh tea I bought from the tea garden during my recent business trips to the south."

Zhong Changfa was still a shrew. Being treated so politely by his colleagues in the special service department, a smug look immediately appeared in his eyes.

Humph! This kid is smart. Since he's so good at handling things, after I get home, I won't complain to Tingting about how he always looks down on me.

Zhong Changfa really enjoyed being flattered. Whenever he was at work, he always had a look of superiority on his face, and would frown whenever he looked at his immediate superior.

Is this Mr. Zhong crazy about getting promoted? Look at his arrogant look, I wonder if anyone would think he is the head of their department?

A higher rank can crush a lower rank, and Zhong Changfa's action had invisibly offended his direct superior. If his superior had not heard about Zhong Changfa's granddaughter's affair from the team leader, he would not have dared to directly attack him, but would have secretly recorded him.

At the Xue family, Grandpa was interrupted by Zhong Tingting's matter before he could finish his words, so he had to bring up the topic again. However, Old Master Xue seemed to know what Grandpa was thinking, and every time he would find one excuse or another to change the subject.

In the end, until the end of dinner, grandpa did not find a chance to bring up the matter of child marriage.

Grandpa was anxious. He didn't care about his face anymore and directly stopped Mr. Xue who wanted to change the subject again.

"Old Xue, you're so smart, you must have known what I was going to say, so I won't beat around the bush. Things aren't the same as they used to be; child marriages aren't popular anymore. Besides, the two kids are still so young, and they still have more than ten years to grow up. A lot of things could happen in those ten or so years. Your son might not be that worried about it, but my daughter is, especially in our village, where many girls get married at the age of sixteen or seventeen."

How could Mr. Xue not understand what Grandpa said?

Looking at his old friend, his old face turned dark red with anxiety, and he burst out laughing in dissatisfaction.

"Old man, I want to see how long you can hold it in. Can't hold it in anymore?"

"You old bastard, you're full of bad intentions! You knew I was worried, but you deliberately stopped me from speaking!"
