Usually, except Xu Jingmin, no one dared to contradict the old man.

Only Xu Jingmin told him whatever she wanted to say without any fear.

I didn’t expect that Lu Youxi would appear now.

But the old man felt that no matter whether it was Lu Youxi or Xu Jingmin, he was not disgusted or angry at their behavior, and he even liked them.

The only thing that made me depressed was that I couldn't reply back.

"You are not allowed to call me grandpa?" Zhou Shuyan's voice suddenly came from the door of the living room.

When everyone looked back, they saw that it was Zhou Shuyan who had just returned.

"Grandpa, didn't you say you liked Youxi very much? Why don't you allow her to call you grandpa?" Zhou Shuyan asked the old man in confusion and dissatisfaction.

The old man glared at him: "How come you came in without making any noise?"

"I just spoke up and said I was back, but none of you responded to me." Zhou Shuyan said innocently.

"Your social engagements ended so quickly?" The old man thought Zhou Shuyan came back too quickly. "Why do I feel like it's only been a short time since you called me? You didn't come back early because you were worried about Lu Youxi, did you?"

"What are you talking about? With Youxi's ability, I have never been worried about you." Zhou Shuyan tactfully expressed that there is no need to worry about Lu Youxi dealing with the old man.

"We can just eat, drink and talk. How late can it be?" Zhou Shuyan curled his lips. "Besides, I usually don't tolerate their bad habits. Although it's a social event, we should get straight to the point. Everyone should be more straightforward and avoid those messy things at the wine table."

Old man: “…”

What's going on tonight!

They all confronted him one by one.

The old man took a deep breath and thought, "Forget it, these kids are all good kids. They are honest people and do the right things."

The old man told himself this in his heart.

"Grandpa, you haven't told me yet, why don't you let Youxi call you grandpa?" Zhou Shuyan asked again.

"That's right. You forced Yuxi to call you old sir. It's so strange. We feel uncomfortable when we hear that." Xu Jingmin said, "Yuxi is such a good child, but her grandparents never loved her since she was a child. She finally left her grandparents, was loved by her parents, and married into our family. You are Yuxi's only grandfather. As a grandfather, you don't love her? It's too much."

"You all keep talking, will you let me speak?" the old man said helplessly.

"Then you say." Zhou Shuyan pulled Lu Youxi to sit down.

But the old man himself is still standing.

Just at this time, Xu Jingmin pulled Aunt Yao to sit down and sat on the other side of Lu Youxi.

The four of them sat together and looked up at the old man.

Old man: “…”

He felt he was being targeted.

"I didn't object to Lu Youxi calling me grandpa." The old man had no choice but to say, "I just asked her why she called me grandpa now. Who knew that this little girl had such a bad temper and didn't even call me grandpa anymore."

"There must be a reason why Youxi didn't scream." Xu Jingmin said honestly, "It must be because you didn't let her scream before."

Old man: “…”

He really couldn't refute this statement.

Why is it that this daughter-in-law always gets to the point?

"Before that, I didn't know her well, so my attitude was rather conservative." The old man had to explain, "Didn't I talk to her about some things in the car later? After understanding her, I felt it was okay to call her grandpa."

Xu Jingmin knew that the old man had already accepted Lu Youxi and even liked her quite a bit.

Then he hurriedly said to Lu Youxi: "Why don't you call me grandpa?"

"Hmm." The old man responded sullenly.

Xu Jingmin said, "If your grandfather gives you a hard time again, you can always change your mind."

Old man: “!!!”

"Okay." Lu Youxi nodded with a smile.

The old man snorted. Anyway, he had no authority here at all.

"Dad, do you have anything else to ask Youxi that you haven't finished yet?" Xu Jingmin said again, "Why don't you just ask right here."

"We also know everything about Yuxi." Xu Jingmin said, "Don't let Yuxi talk alone all the time. It's tiring. We can also help her answer the questions."

Old man: “…”

They were all seated, so the old man had no choice but to sit down as well.

Aunt Yao, who had just been pulled to sit down by Xu Jingmin, stood up again and said, "I'll go make some tea and cut some fruit. You guys can talk while you eat."

After a while, Aunt Yao brought out fruits and snacks.

After the water boiled, he brought a tea tray and a pot of tea.

"Grandpa, is there anything else you want to know?" Zhou Shuyan urged.

I quickly finished asking questions and let Lu Youxi rest. Lu Youxi had to go to school and work at the same time, which was very tiring.

"You guys eat first, the food will be ready soon, and you can talk while eating." Aunt Yao said.

There was soup stewing on the stove in the kitchen. It was the apple, pear and pork bone soup that Xu Jingmin and Lu Youxi both liked very much. It was just right for the hot weather now, moistening the lungs and relieving coughs, as well as refreshing and reducing dryness.

The old man then said, "So what are your plans for the future?"

Lu Youxi was stunned for a moment. Did she need to make any other plans?

"Grandpa, what aspect do you mean?" Zhou Shuyan asked.

The old man then realized that he knew it in his heart but had not expressed it clearly, so he added, "Study and career."

Lu Youxi blinked, "Don't you want to ask about the family? Like when are we going to have a baby?"

Old man: “…”

He didn't ask, but the little girl actually brought it up on her own initiative.

"There's no rush. You're still young. Make your own plans, and the child will come when the time comes," said the old man.

Lu Youxi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "I didn't expect you to be so open-minded."

Old man: “…”

"What are you talking about? I'm quite open-minded." The old man said dissatisfiedly.

Xu Jingmin said something fair for the old man, "Your grandfather is indeed quite open-minded. He always said that if I met someone I liked, I could remarry and he would give me a dowry."

The old man felt a little embarrassed by what Xu Jingmin said.

Xu Jingmin said: "On the contrary, I don't want to get married again. I can be free by myself and do whatever I want and go wherever I want without having to accommodate others."

"Besides, at this age, what's the point of talking about true love? Aren't we just trying to make do with each other? Why should I make do with this?" Xu Jingmin also took the opportunity to express her attitude to the old man, "Anyway, I'm free and comfortable now. I won't meet someone I like like Shu Yan's father."

The old man couldn't help but sigh: "It's not because Shu Yan's father is my son that I praise him. He is really a rare and amazing person. It's a pity that God is jealous of talents."
