When Mu Xiaocheng went downstairs, she saw Grandpa Meng sitting on the sofa drinking tea.
He looked relaxed and comfortable, and didn't seem angry at all.
"Grandpa," Mu Xiaocheng called out, walked up to the old man, and carefully looked him over for a while.
"You seem to be in a good mood?"
Grandpa Meng put down his teacup and stood up, leaning on his cane.
He leaned closer to Mu Xiaocheng and asked, "Have you made up?"
Mu Xiaocheng nodded and then asked, "You won't make things difficult for him anymore, will you?"
Grandpa Meng gave a light snort and said, "That depends on his performance."
After saying that, he swaggered upstairs.
"Grandpa, please don't bully him."
Mu Xiaocheng said worriedly from behind, her little face scrunched up.
The old man glanced back at her and couldn't help but scold, "Useless."
Mu Xiaocheng snorted. Yes, she was just useless.
I just like Ji Huaishen, and I can't bear to see him get hurt.
What's the point of being ambitious? You can't eat it anyway.

When Old Master Meng arrived at Ji Huaishen's study, Ji Huaishen was already prepared and waiting for him.
The old man was a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, so he naturally knew how to communicate with patients, especially those like Ji Huaishen.
"Grandpa."
His voice was mellow and natural, neither humble nor arrogant.
Grandpa Meng came up to him, glanced at his legs, and said, "Have you made things clear with Xiao Cheng?"
"You can tell that the girl is very happy."
This was the first time in so long that he had seen Cheng Yatou smile.
Outsiders can no longer easily interfere in their relationship.
That old geezer can't do it either.
"Then... seeing me like this... would you feel comfortable entrusting her to me?"
Ji Huaishen glanced at his legs. This time, he acted very generously and did not try to dodge or hide.
Grandpa Meng smiled, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Do you think you can take good care of her?"
"If you don't even believe in yourself, do you think I'll feel at ease?"
Ji Huaishen knew very well that the old man was asking him to make a choice.
“I can take good care of her. Even in this state, I can ensure her safety for the rest of her life. So please, trust me just this once.”
Ji Huaishen's tone was very sincere; it was the first time he had spoken to someone like this.
In the past, everyone had always been humble and subservient in front of him.
He was always the one who was high and mighty.
But now, for her sake, he can beg, and he can disregard all pride.
"Well, I have nothing more to say."
"But you must promise me that nothing that hurts her will ever happen again."
He would feel sorry for his most beloved granddaughter if she tormented herself to the point of being unrecognizable because of a man.
"I promise you." Ji Huaishen's tone was firm, his eyes piercing.
"Then there's nothing for this old man to do. You should get some rest."
After saying that, Old Master Meng turned to leave.
"Grandpa," Ji Huaishen suddenly called out to him.
Grandpa Meng stopped and turned to look at him: "Hmm?"
Ji Huaishen smiled and said sincerely, "Thank you."
This was also the first time he had ever thanked a stranger.
A heartfelt gratitude.
He wasn't stupid; he knew that his grandfather's arranged blind dates were just a way to force him to see his own heart clearly.
Grandpa Meng waved his hand and said in a loud voice, "We're family, no need for thanks."
