Perhaps this "other person" is the one he cherishes most.
This kid is digging a hole for his parents again.
Madam Gu smiled and said, "Good, your grandfather and I will remember what you said today."
Qin Lin's smile froze slightly. She vaguely felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it carefully for a while, she couldn't figure out what the problem was.
After dinner
Gu Zhizhou and Qin Lin left together.
Gu Jueye stayed overnight at the old house. When he returned to his bedroom, he took out his phone and glanced at it.
Upon seeing the message from Bai Qianmo, Qingya's elegant face froze slightly, and a layer of gloom settled between her beautiful brows and eyes.
Leaning lightly against the desk, Gu Jueye fiddled with his phone, his deep eyes blending into the dark night. After a while, he pulled out his contacts and made a call.
"Hello, teacher."
Old Pei was somewhat surprised: "Why are you calling me at this hour?"
Gu Jueye asked in a deep voice, "Are you acquainted with Old Master Bai?"
Old Pei pondered: "Not that we're close, but an old friend of mine has a good relationship with him. I've heard that this old man is very stubborn. He's been in politics for half his life and is considered an upright and incorruptible person. In particular, once he makes a decision, nothing can change his mind. So people in his circle like to call him Old Stubborn."
Gu Jueye felt a throbbing sensation in his temples, and he gently pressed his temples with his index and middle fingers slightly bent.
"Could you ask your friend for me what Old Master Bai particularly likes? Or what his weaknesses are?"
Old Pei gleaned something from those words: "You have a grudge against that stubborn old man?"
"The hatred of having my wife stolen!"
"You brat, that old stubborn guy is too old to argue with you."
Gu Jueye pinched the bridge of his nose and said in a low voice, "It's his granddaughter."
Elder Pei: "..."
How can someone scheme against the woman's family like that? If I were in their shoes, I wouldn't allow it either!
After a moment of silence, Elder Pei said in a deep voice, "Then you're in big trouble."
"How so?"
Old Pei sighed, “I heard from my old friend that the stubborn old man was once coerced by a powerful family in the capital during his time in office. I don’t know which family it was, but ever since then, he has had a lot of opinions about such aristocratic families that have been passed down for centuries. He would definitely never let his granddaughter marry into a family like your Gu family, no matter what.”
"But don't be discouraged. You've finally taken a liking to a girl, so your teacher will definitely help you. I'll call my old buddy right now and ask him if the stubborn old man has any weaknesses or if he has any particular preferences. As long as you cater to his tastes, you can't go wrong."

Day 2
It was the weekend, and Bai Qianmo got up early to pack her luggage.
When I sorted through everything, I found there was actually quite a lot of stuff.
Although the old man harbored prejudice against Gu Jueye, Xu Hualan still went to the nearby market with Aunt Zhang early in the morning to buy fresh vegetables and fruits.
The old man went out early in the morning and didn't return until almost eleven o'clock.
However, they also brought someone back with them.
"Qianmo, come here quickly."
Old Bai led the young man through the door, beaming as he greeted his granddaughter.
