Chapter 233: Still Not Selling It
Mr. Lu is already over 70 years old. Xu Youyou has long known from Lu Jingyao's description that the old man's health is not very good and he has undergone several major operations.
But the old man in front of him, although he looked a little old, looked energetic and you couldn't tell that he was in poor health at all.
"Ms. Xu, I have wanted to meet you for a long time, and I was thinking of going to Shanghai to meet you, but they were all afraid that I would scare you. Now you finally come to Jinling, it's really fate." Mr. Lu was very kind and looked like an ordinary kind old grandfather.
Xu Youyou didn't dare to be negligent and just said, "Grandpa Lu, it's my fault for not visiting you."
Mr. Lu shook his head: "It's not anyone's fault, please don't say that. If anyone is wrong, it's Jing Yao. This blockhead is just opening up too late!"
Lu Jingyao was suddenly scolded, but he was not angry. Instead, he said, "Grandpa, don't forget about us."
Xu Youyou reached out and tugged at Lu Jingyao's sleeve. She felt that it seemed a bit too hasty to make a request right after arriving.
But Mr. Lu just laughed and said, "Miss Xu, my grandson has a straightforward personality. He learned it from me. I heard from Jingyao that you are in trouble. Just tell me the details. Let's deal with your matter first, and then talk about other things, okay?"
Xu Youyou looked at the old man's open-minded appearance, and the discomfort she felt as a parent in her heart suddenly dissipated little by little.
After listening to her request, Mr. Lu nodded and said, "I know everything. Now I will ask someone to do it and try to give you a result today."
Xu Youyou glanced at the sky which was already darkening and couldn't help feeling uneasy, but seeing how confident the old man was, she didn't say anything to spoil the mood.
"Miss Xu, let me tell you, the vegetables we eat tonight are all grown by me. They are green and pollution-free organic food. You can't eat them outside. You must try them." Grandpa Lu said proudly.
Actually, Xu Youyou was not very good at dealing with elders, but Mr. Lu was too easy to get along with. The old man was very talkative, and Xu Youyou did not need to rack her brains to think of polite words. Just by answering a few words, the scene was already very lively.
In less than half an hour, Xu Youyou had already called Grandpa Lu "Grandpa" and her friendly attitude made Grandpa Lu very satisfied.
Although the quality of these dishes cannot compare to Qing Yatou’s cooking, the mere fact that they are “grown by the old man himself” is already sincere enough.
Just after finishing the meal, someone walked in.
"Ms. Xu, we have found the person you are looking for. When do you plan to meet him?"
Xu Youyou couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard what the person said: "Found it so soon? It seems like less than an hour has passed?"
A capable person like Assistant Liu spent a whole day without getting any results, but he didn't expect that Mr. Lu's men would act so quickly.
Mr. Lu smiled and said, "Youyou girl, next time you want to find someone in Jinling, just give me a call and I'll ask them to find them for you right away. I don't have any other skills, but I'm good at finding people."
Xu Youyou thought, this isn’t just about being good at finding people, this is simply Jinling’s emperor of connections.
"Grandpa, I really don't know how to thank you. You have helped me a lot!" Xu Youyou was very grateful.
Grandpa Lu felt very satisfied when he saw his precious grandson and Xu Youyou standing together, a perfect match. He waved his hand and said, "Little girl, we are family, so why should we talk about different things? As long as you don't mind our Jingyao's age, I will be satisfied if you come to see me more often."
Mr. Lu knew that the young people were anxious, so he did not keep them here as guests, but urged them to go about their business first.
When Xu Youyou got in the car, she still felt that what happened that night was just a dream: "Grandpa is really different from ordinary old people."
Ordinary old people have long formed their own fixed habits of doing things, and almost all of them don’t know how to communicate with young people. Either their conversations are dry, or they stick to their own theories of hospitality, which are full of cumbersome politeness.
Lu Jingyao said: "Grandpa always said that he wanted to be an old man who was not annoying. He was also open-minded and wanted to spend more time with the younger generation, so he has been learning how young people do things."
Xu Youyou nodded: "Grandpa is really fashionable, more open-minded than many middle-aged people in their forties and fifties."
"So, my cousins all like to stay with grandpa, and even look forward to living with him," said Lu Jingyao.
Xu Youyou thought to herself, who wouldn't like an elder who has no desire to control, doesn't cause trouble, and can provide help at critical moments?
The little green-haired guy obviously didn't like it.
He was locked up in the basement of a villa. Even though there was plenty of food and water, he couldn't help but yell, "Let me out! You are illegally detaining me! I want to call the police!"
The door was suddenly opened, and the little green-haired boy was so scared that he took a step back with his chair in hand: "I tell you, I'm not someone you can easily mess with, I have a big brother behind me..."
Xu Youyou thought that Mr. Lu provided the address where the little green-haired boy was hiding now, but she didn't expect that he actually invited him directly to his territory, and in such an unfriendly way.
Thinking back to how kind and amiable Mr. Lu was, Xu Youyou couldn't help but feel the contrast was huge.
Lu Jingyao explained in a low voice: "Don't worry, Youyou, although grandpa used some tricks to invite people here, grandpa has always been sensible and will not break the law."
Four words suddenly popped up in Xu Youyou's mind: lawless criminal.
As the light suddenly brightened, the little green-haired boy recognized Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao, and his eyes were suddenly filled with anger.
"I've already told you, that woman had her miscarriage on her own. It has nothing to do with me! Don't even think about blaming me!"
"We're not looking for you because of her." Xu Youyou said.
The little green-haired boy frowned and looked at her: "I won't sell the house either, don't even think about it."
"Why not sell it?" Xu Youyou was puzzled.
The little green-haired boy doesn't speak.
Xu Youyou thought for a moment and said, "I asked someone to estimate the market value of your house. It's about 8 million. I'll just offer 16 million. Will you sell it?"
The little green-haired boy's eyes flashed with excitement, but he held it back and said, "Not for sale!"
Xu Youyou thought there was a chance, so she increased the bet again: "30 million."
This time, the little green-haired boy almost bit his lips and couldn't even speak, and shook his head vigorously.
Xu Youyou: "Fifty million."
The little green-haired boy clenched his fists, as if he had endured to the extreme.
Xu Youyou: "I'm offering 60 million for a house worth 8 million, why don't you sell it?"
