On the other end of the phone, Gu Zhencai was not alone in his father's room.
The old lady was pouring tea for the old man, her face full of wrinkles. "Was that old bastard Xie Buyun on the phone? How dare he call you?"
She made no attempt to conceal her volume.
Clearly, he harbored deep resentment and had to vent it.
The old man was a little embarrassed and quickly scolded in a low voice, "You old woman, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Back then, because of Xie Li's disappearance, Grandpa Xie was furious and offended many friends.
Grandpa Xie immediately focused his suspicions on the Ding family. Grandpa Gu, who was merely speaking up for the Ding family as a friend, was severely reprimanded by Grandpa Xie.
But now so many years have passed, and things have changed. Moreover, Xie Li has been found. When Grandpa Xie took the initiative to call, how could Grandpa Gu care about the past estrangement?
The two were, after all, longtime friends who used to talk about everything.
Grandpa Gu took his phone and went to his study to answer it. "Buyun, what's wrong? Just tell me."
Grandpa Xie didn't mind Grandma Gu's words. He knew Grandpa Gu's personality. He had dedicated his life to teaching and nurturing countless students and was a senior figure in the education field.
When it comes to education, no one is more professional and experienced than Mr. Gu.
"I called you today, practically begging you, hoping you'd take my granddaughter as your apprentice..."
Grandpa Xie had also given it a lot of thought. Xie Li's situation was special, and it was most suitable for Grandpa Gu to take care of Xie Li.
Moreover, once Old Master Gu accepts Xie Li as his disciple, Xie Li's status in the entire education sector of Linjiang City will be different.
"My own granddaughter?" The old man was stunned for a moment.
Although he had always focused on academic research, he had also heard that the Xie family's real daughter hadn't even finished junior high school, and her life was probably ruined.
He was conflicted for a moment; even if it was an old friend, this request was too much to ask.
Even if an illiterate person has great abilities, they can't teach others.
"Don't be so quick to refuse." Old Master Xie understood Old Master Gu's concerns. "My granddaughter is currently studying at Linjiang No. 1 Middle School. She got in on her own merit."
Old Master Gu was somewhat surprised; he had never heard of this before.
If someone can get into Linjiang No.1 Middle School based on their own abilities, then they definitely can't be the incompetent person in legends.
"Then your granddaughter is truly remarkable." The old man spoke with deep respect. "Under those conditions, she was able to get into Linjiang No. 1 Middle School. She is truly talented."
Grandpa Xie said with some pride, "You know, my granddaughter has had an exceptional memory since she was little. You definitely won't lose out by taking her as your apprentice."
The old man didn't agree immediately: "Let's discuss the matter of taking on a disciple later, but I can still help this child out."
Grandpa Xie wasn't disappointed. "Alright, then I'll trouble you."
After hanging up the phone, Mr. Gu sighed softly.
“Bu Yun really went all out for this granddaughter…”
He was such a stubborn person back then, but he was willing to humble himself and beg for help for his granddaughter's sake.
He shook his head, turned around to leave, and was startled to see a figure standing behind him.
What are you doing standing here silently?
The old lady sneered, "Xie Buyun is really willing to go to any lengths for his granddaughter, daring to even try to get you to take him as a disciple?"
The old lady slammed the tray she was carrying onto the table. "What a good-for-nothing! How dare he even ask for a word?"
