Volume 1 Chapter 72 Don't judge a person by appearance
Even after his identity was exposed, Xu Hongjian did not feel embarrassed. Instead, he showed great interest and asked, "Do you know me?"
Du Ruo answered calmly, "I didn't know him before I entered the hospital, but I guessed it after I entered. Uncle Xu looks a lot like you."
Xu Hong smiled and asked, "Do you know Xu Xingzhi?"
Du Ruo looked at him calmly and said bluntly, "In fact, if you had communicated with Uncle Xu in advance, you would have known all my details. Uncle Xu and my father have been friends and partners for many years, and our two families have been neighbors for more than ten years. I find your behavior of deliberately judging others from a superior's perspective quite offensive and annoying."
Xu Hongjian was not angry when he was disobeyed, and he even sighed in his heart that with this kind of character and temper, she was worthy of being someone his grandson would like.
He smiled and apologized: "Yes, I did something inappropriate. I sincerely apologize to you. My name is Xu Hongjian, and I am Xu Jingmo's grandfather."
Du Ruo nodded slightly and said calmly: "Since you are Master Xu Jingmo, I forgive you, but this will not happen again."
"Okay, okay, little girl, you are very interesting. This string of Buddhist beads can be regarded as my apology gift. It has been blessed and can ensure your safety." Xu Hongzhen laughed and then took off a string of Buddhist beads from his wrist and handed it to her.
Du Ruo took it with both hands and accepted it calmly.
An apology should be made with an apologetic attitude. She deserves it and there is no excuse for it.
She played with the Buddhist beads for a while, but found them too loose on her wrist, so she carefully put them into her bag.
Then he stood up and said politely as a younger person: "Okay, let's forget about that. Let me introduce myself again. My name is Du Ruo, and I'm currently Xu Jingmo's girlfriend. If you have anything you want to know, just ask."
Xu Hongjian was very interested in her straightforward and polite personality, and said bluntly: "Don't ask, my children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I am old and shouldn't mix things up. Let's just treat it as 'no fight, no acquaintance' and make friends regardless of age. You, girl, are just my type."
Du Ruo looked at him speechlessly and asked, "Are you not curious anymore?"
Xu Hongjian smiled and said, "I will know it when it's time for me to know it."
"Okay then." Du Ruo looked nonchalant and sat back down.
She wasn't here for an interview, so there was no need for her to proactively tell him about her life story. She gave him the opportunity, but he didn't ask.
Xu Hongjian looked at her, and the more he looked at her, the more satisfied he felt. He asked with a smile, "But I am curious about one thing. You are so young, but you have such a high level of Go skills. Who taught you?"
Du Ruo: "My grandfather, Du Xuefeng."
Xu Hongjin asked in surprise: "The Go 9th dan master Du Xuefeng back then?"
Du Ruo said: "I don't know. When I was born, my grandfather was an ordinary university professor. He started teaching me how to play chess when I was 3 years old. I am quite experienced in chess."
Xu Hong suddenly realized that one should not judge a person by his appearance, and apologized again: "I am too rude and abrupt."
Du Ruo: "It doesn't matter. I'll just let it go. I'm not that petty."
Xu Hongjian asked curiously, "You just said that you are Xu Jingmo's girlfriend? Why is it a girlfriend?"
Du Ruo: "Because I'm chasing him."
Xu Hongjin was surprised and asked, "You pursued him?? That brat didn't agree???"
Du Ruo looked at him helplessly, "Because I didn't let him agree. Didn't you say you didn't have anything else to ask?"
Xu Hongjian choked and felt powerless, as if he had just lifted a rock and dropped it on his own feet.
Ning Sichang was very happy watching the excitement from the side.
Hahahaha, he knew this kid was special and different the first time he met him.
When an old friend called him last night to inquire about the girl's background, he reminded her that Du Ruo was different from everyone he had ever met, so it would be best not to test her lightly.
Now seeing his old friend in trouble, he takes it as a blessing in disguise and refuses to listen to any advice, hahahaha.
Ning Sichang patted Du Ruo's head lovingly and said with a smile: "Xiao Ruo Ruo, ignore him. Are you hungry? Let's go eat first."
Du Ruo smiled and said, "Okay."
Xu Hongzhen looked at her friendly attitude towards Ning Sichang and felt deeply moved. This was the normal attitude that the younger generation should have towards their elders.
Why was she so distant and polite to him? However, she immediately regretted her attempt and secretly swore to herself that she must salvage the bad first impression she had of herself.
The three of them went to the kitchen to eat together. Ning Sichang was really not bragging. A simple bowl of beef noodles was cooked to perfection, and Du Ruo ate it with gusto.
After the meal, Ning Sichang took Du Ruo's pulse and praised her, "You are very obedient. Your pulse has improved, which shows that you are very strict in following your dietary restrictions."
Du Ruo murmured quietly: "Even if I want to let myself go, there are people watching me like thieves."
Ning Sichang smiled and joked, "It's rare that Ah Mo came to his senses. I treated you, but you still suffered mental damage. But a certain brat came to my house the next day to complain, saying that the medicine I prescribed was not for human consumption and asked me to prescribe you a sweet medicine. He really thought I was a god and pestered me for a long time. I told him that he could use honey to relieve the bitterness, and he reluctantly gave up."
Du Ruo just smiled and said nothing, wondering why Xu Jingmo was so cute.
Ning Sichang got up and went to the pharmacy to get some medicine. As he walked, he said, "I heard that you have trouble sleeping. I will give you some tranquilizers. You may feel a little sleepy in the early stages, but this is a normal reaction and is harmless to your body. Once your daily routine returns to normal, this side effect will gradually disappear."
Du Ruo thanked him politely.
After preparing the medicine, Du Ruo left quickly.
After she left, Ning Sichang looked at Xu Hongjin and asked, "How is it? Are you satisfied with your future granddaughter-in-law?"
Xu Hongjin laughed with great pride, "My grandson really has good taste."
Ning Sichang pointed at him and smiled, "You, you should think about how to apologize. You have never seen Ah Mo's monkey-like behavior of protecting his own shortcomings. If he finds out, you will have a headache."
Xu Hongjian had the same worry in his mind, and he regretted his impulsiveness even more. One wrong step led to another, and now he had offended both of them. Curiosity really killed the cat.
