Because of the distance, Ye Chen couldn't see clearly.
Ye Chen slowed the car down a little to make it easier to observe.
As he got closer, Ye Chen finally saw who the mysterious person standing at his door was.
Not many people know that they live here.
That is, the parents, Ning Shuang, cousin Zhao Shuxuan, and Fatty.
From a distance, Ye Chen guessed that the mysterious person in front of his door at that moment might be one of these people.
It's possible that they had something they couldn't say over the phone, which is why they came to see me in person.
But when Ye Chen got closer, he was surprised to find...
Standing in front of his villa was an elderly man in his sixties or seventies, with a full head of silver hair, who looked very energetic.
It seems that only Old Qin is aware that he lives here.
But this silver-haired old man was not Qin Lao. Most importantly, Ye Chen did not know him and had never even seen him before.
With a look of utter surprise, Ye Chen stopped the car and got out.
"Old man, who are you looking for?"
Ye Chen asked.
Upon seeing Ye Chen, the silver-haired elder did not speak immediately, but instead carefully examined Ye Chen.
Ye Chen noticed that the old man was looking at him strangely.
But there was no hostility.
"Young man, I happened to be passing by and I'm a little thirsty. May I ask you for a cup of tea?"
The silver-haired old man asked very kindly.
"Okay, please come with me."
Ye Chen nodded.
Normally, Ye Chen wouldn't refuse an elderly person who is thirsty and wants a drink of water.
Moreover, Ye Chen was quite certain that the silver-haired old man was not telling the truth.
He said he had no knowledge of what happened?
But Ye Chen could see him staring at his villa from afar, and it seemed he had been standing there for a while.
This was definitely not unintentional, but intentional.
If nothing unexpected happens, the silver-haired old man came specifically to find him.
But he didn't want to reveal his identity.
In addition, Ye Chen noticed a small detail.
Normally, if someone is thirsty, they would say, "May I have a glass of water?"
But this silver-haired old man asked for a cup of tea. Why was he being so particular?
Is this a hint from the silver-haired old man?
Since the man didn't want to talk about it, Ye Chen didn't ask directly, treating him as just an ordinary thirsty old man.
Ye Chen invited the silver-haired old man into the house and went to make tea.
A short while later, Ye Chen came out of the kitchen.
At this moment, he was surprised to find that the silver-haired old man was standing in front of his fish tank with his hands behind his back and his back slightly bent, staring intently at the blood dragon fish in his tank.
Hearing footsteps, the silver-haired old man turned his head and sighed:
"Young man, you actually keep such a rare and top-quality blood dragonfish?"
"Obtained by chance."
Ye Chen placed the tea on the table and answered casually.
Do all these elderly people really enjoy raising fish?
Old Qin was very fond of his blood dragon fish back then.
Could it be that the silver-haired old man was introduced by Elder Qin and came here specifically to see the blood dragon fish?
Really?
After watching the blood dragon fish for a while, the silver-haired old man came over and sat down on the sofa.
"Thank you for letting an old man like me in for a cup of tea."
The silver-haired old man politely thanked Ye Chen.
The silver-haired old man picked up his tea, took a sip, and, without any hesitation, asked:
"Young man, what kind of work do you do now, or where do you study?"
"I am a freshman at Jiangzhou University."
The old man was unwilling to reveal his identity, so Ye Chen treated him as an ordinary old man without hiding anything.
"Still a freshman in college?"
The silver-haired old man was clearly surprised, not expecting Ye Chen to be so young.
"Nice tea."
The silver-haired old man took a sip of tea and nodded.
"I'm a complete stranger, and you've treated me to such fine tea. Thank you so much."
It seemed to be to thank Ye Chen for serving him such good tea.
"Young man, where are you from?"
The silver-haired old man spoke again.
"Judging from your accent, you don't seem to be a local from Jiangzhou. Are you from Hangzhou or Shanghai?"
"A native of Linhai."
Ye Chen spoke up, becoming increasingly certain that something was wrong with the silver-haired old man.
"I visited Linhai a few times when I was young, and I remember the sea there was very beautiful."
The silver-haired old man seemed to be lost in memories.
After chatting with Ye Chen for a few more minutes, the silver-haired old man felt that was enough and got up to take his leave.
Ye Chen saw the old man out of the villa.
Just as he stepped outside, the silver-haired old man suddenly turned around and said abruptly:
"Young man, do you have a girlfriend or fiancée?"
“You are quite to my liking. I have a granddaughter who is about the same age as you. She is very beautiful and has a great temperament.”
"Would you like me to introduce you to them?"
Hearing this, Ye Chen felt even more puzzled.
Although many elderly people like to play matchmaker, this silver-haired old man's question seems too sudden.
wack.
Ye Chen felt that no matter what he said, he could not agree.
"No need, old man."
Ye Chen shook his head, immediately and tactfully refusing.
"That's a pity."
Seeing that Ye Chen refused, the silver-haired old man spoke up.
"Young man, thank you for your hospitality."
The silver-haired old man said goodbye to Ye Chen.
"The young man is nice. I hope we'll have the chance to meet again."
After saying that, the silver-haired old man left.
Ye Chen observed for a moment and saw that the silver-haired old man seemed to be heading out of the villa area, and he did not make any special attempt to hide his destination.
Ye Chen watched the silver-haired old man's departing figure and fell into thought.
Who is this old man?
Why did they appear so abruptly and then leave?
Ye Chen was quite curious and increasingly felt that things were not simple.
