The Matter of the Crown Prince Falling for Her in One Second

Crown Prince Zhang Youye from the Jing Circle. He was known for his noble, lazy, and unruly nature. After encountering his mother's affair, he was determined not to go through with the arranged...

Chapter 8 Grandpa, and what about him?

Inside the main hall of the Moon-Plundering Hall.

A well-dressed gentleman bowed slightly and smiled at Shu Qiyi, who was seated at the head of the table, saying, "Old Shu, Youye has been a wild boy since he was a child."

"Don't get angry with the younger generation. I heard the Zhang family brought him back overnight. Look at how much effort the Zhang family has had to put in because of your words."

The speaker was from the Qin family, one of the five major families, which had been consistently ranked second by the Zhang family.

The veiled sarcasm in those words was clear to anyone with a discerning eye; it revealed the true meaning behind them.

As the head of the five major families, Zhang Jinnan sat down calmly, only giving his younger brother beside him a glance.

Zhang Zhiting understood immediately, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhang Youye, indicating that he should apologize to Elder Shu.

In front of so many elders, he openly said that he did not want to have an arranged marriage.

He caught a glimpse of his father's murderous gaze and noticed his second uncle's suggestive look.

Wearing a headband, a hooded sweatshirt, and limited-edition men's shoes, she chose not to marry into another family and instead pursued her love.

He did it all overnight, without telling anyone in his family.

Zhang Youye, who dyed his black hair blonde.

The young master, whose attire was completely out of place with everyone else present, had no choice but to put down his legs, which were crossed over his knees.

He slowly got up from the sofa, placed the teacup in front of Mr. Shu, and bowed respectfully to apologize.

"I'm sorry, Professor Shu."

...

Five minutes ago.

A Rolls-Royce slowly came to a stop at the gate.

Immediately following, accompanied by a roar like that of a wild beast, another limited-edition supercar—the Ferrari LaFerrari—parked next to the Rolls-Royce.

Release the accelerator, and the car door slowly opens upwards.

After the long-legged man stepped off the driver's seat, the arrogant young master with his striking blond hair lazily got out of the car.

He followed behind Wei Bo.

The Zhang family members soon arrived at the Luanyue Hall.

Sitting in the main seat of the Moonlit Hall, Shu Qiyi felt that his granddaughter had been found. The children from both families were of similar age and looked good together, and both of them were single.

Besides, love is something that can be found everywhere.

Thinking of this, ignoring Zhang Youye's blond hair, Shu Qiyi took the initiative to bring it up with Zhang Jinnan.

The marriage between the two families should be put on the agenda.

Unexpectedly, before the adults could finish speaking, the boy blurted out, "I have no interest in arranged marriages."

The marriage between the two families was a tradition passed down from their ancestors, and besides, their own granddaughter was beautiful and well-proportioned.

She's not good enough for this blond monster in front of her.

Seeing his blond hair made him angry, and Old Master Shu turned his head away in a huff.

He didn't even bother to glance at the still arrogant young master, and naturally, the tea was not accepted.

Just as Zhang Youye was about to return to his seat to continue his plan, a female voice rang in his ear.

It is light and clear, like the morning dew in Gantian.

It's fucking good.

"grandfather."

After calling out "Grandpa," Shu Yi walked up to the group of people who were looking at each other, and after giving them a once-over, she slowly strolled to her grandfather's side.

Upon seeing his beautiful granddaughter, Grandpa Shu's anger vanished completely.

With the help of Uncle Wei and Shu Yi, Shu Qiyi got up from his seat and introduced his granddaughter to everyone present with a smile.

"This is my granddaughter, Shuyi."

Upon hearing this, the elders present all smiled and offered their congratulations.

"Old Master Shu is so lucky, look how beautiful his granddaughter is."

"I never expected that Yishi would leave the Shu family with a precious granddaughter. Look how happy Old Master Shu is, he can hardly stop smiling."

"Look how well this girl has up her sleeve. Yi Shi really knows how to raise her; she's got the air of a well-bred young lady."

The surrounding agreement and praise made Shu Qiyi even happier, and he gestured with his eyes for Shu Yi to sit down next to him.

He first introduced Shu Renxuan, who was sitting on the left and remained silent, to Shu Yi.

"Yiyi, this is your father's older brother, your uncle."

"Hello, Uncle." Shu Yi smiled politely.

Nodding slightly and giving a soft "hmm," Shu Renxuan slowly put down the teacup in his hand.

Then, he took out a jade pendant from his pocket, which was of excellent quality and color, and handed it to Shu Yi.

"This is a gift from your uncle. No one in the family has seen you since you were born. From now on, you will live with the Shu family and spend more time with your grandfather."

Noticing his granddaughter's hesitant expression, Shu Qiyi nodded, signaling her to accept the task.

"Yiyi, take this, it's what you deserve."

Having overheard the conversation outside the door, Shu Yi could sense that everyone present held her grandfather in high regard.

Everyone present today, except for my eldest uncle, are from other prominent families.

Not wanting the situation to become awkward, she naturally raised her hand to accept the jade pendant. Shu Yi looked at her uncle, her gaze level with his.

"Thank you, Uncle," she said politely.

She was neither arrogant nor humble, and was polite and respectful. It was clear that this girl had indeed been well-educated by her father.

With a smile of relief, Shu Qiyi picked up the teapot beside him and poured a cup of tea for Shu Yi.

Then, he continued to gesture for her to look at the other people.

“Since your great-uncle is not here, your grandfather will start with your eldest uncle. The head of the Qin family is next to him, so call him Uncle Qin.”

"The man next to Uncle Qin is the second-in-command of the Shi family, we call him Second Uncle Shi, and the woman next to him is his wife."

"The two men to Grandpa's right are the head and second-in-command of the Zhang family."

"The man opposite your Second Uncle Shi is the head of the Jin family. There are no other juniors here today, but we'll introduce them to you later."

"From now on, just like all the younger generation, call them uncle and aunt when you see them."

No younger members?

As soon as Shu Yi entered the hall, she noticed a boy who seemed out of place with everyone else.

She had striking blonde hair, wore a headband, and looked very young, probably around the same age as her.

He has a well-defined facial contour and handsome features.

She possesses an innate air of nobility, and even with her blonde hair, her demeanor remains clean and pure.

He was dressed in a hooded sweatshirt and casual trousers that were completely different from the suits and ties worn by others present.

In comparison, his youthful charm is overwhelmingly strong.

Perhaps it was a shared frequency of attraction; ignoring the blond hair, the boy exuded a youthful charm.

Very close to the type Shu Yi likes.

Before she could even make eye contact with him, as she sat down near her grandfather, she noticed out of the corner of her eye that the boy's eyes suddenly became vacant after seeing her.

His leisurely air seemed to have been extinguished.

Instead, they stared wide-eyed as if they had seen some incredible treasure.

After nodding to everyone, he saw his grandfather glance past the blond boy in the middle whose eyes paused slightly.

Shu Yi pointed at Zhang Youye and asked him.

"Grandpa, what about him?"
