Old Master Gu was also very worried, not knowing how to explain it to Old Master Xie.
Xie Buyun was proud and arrogant his whole life, and he never bowed his head to ask for help easily. The only time he asked for help, he made such a big mistake.
He thought about it and decided to find some time to meet with the Xie family's child, so as to at least soothe the young girl's emotions.
Even if the other party is a good-for-nothing, we should still teach him a little out of respect for Grandpa Xie.
The old man may have made plans, but he wasn't so quick to act on them.
Instead, Yuan Mei called first, "Grand Uncle, are you free lately? By the way, I ran into that little girl you said you wanted to meet yesterday."
The old man immediately perked up: "Really? Where?"
Yuan Mei: "Your tea room, her name is Xie Li, the granddaughter of Old Master Xie, didn't you know?"
Old Master Gu: "..."
It took him a while to realize, "You mean that young girl with such high literary talent is Xie Buyun's granddaughter?!"
His movements were so large that the tea on the table fell to the ground, shattering everywhere.
The old lady peeked over and looked at her with disdain, "What are you doing, getting so agitated?"
The old man exclaimed excitedly, "Old woman! We've found the little girl you wanted to meet! She's Xie Buyun's granddaughter!"
It should be noted that both husband and wife were highly accomplished in literature, especially Mrs. Gu.
She lived a refined life, tending to flowers and plants, brewing wine and sipping tea, with a distinctly classical flair. Her research into classical poetry was also profound.
She created most of the ancient poetry challenge questions back then, and they were all very tricky, stumping a lot of people.
Upon learning that a young girl not only scored full marks but also offered unique and interesting insights into the last question, she felt a sense of appreciation for her talent and wanted to see what this girl was all about.
When Mr. Gu told Mrs. Gu this news, it was with a hint of flattery and showing off.
If Mrs. Gu knew that Xie Buyun's granddaughter wasn't the good-for-nothing she thought she was, her perception would probably improve, and she wouldn't be so opposed to him tutoring the little girl, right?
To his surprise, Mrs. Gu's expression turned cold and disdainful upon hearing his words.
"You're even willing to tell such a lie to help that old bastard Xie Buyun?"
Old Master Gu hurriedly explained, "No, it's true. Yuan Mei just called me and told me..."
The old lady frowned. "Alright, alright, I believe you, okay?"
She paused for a moment, then said, "But so what? Are you saying that Wenling isn't qualified to teach her or something? Wenling is a physics professor, and not only physics, but if he wanted to, he could easily teach high school math too."
"Even if that idiot is good at poetry, it doesn't mean she's good at science."
Mrs. Gu's words completely shut down Mr. Gu's words.
In an instant, even the excitement he had just felt upon hearing the news dissipated. He muttered to himself, "Yuan Mei said that during the last poetry challenge, their company pulled some strings, and that girl named Xie Li was forced to come in second place because of the shady dealings. Weren't you very angry? Did you say you were going to go and support that girl?"
If he wasn't mistaken, given his wife's personality, her so-called "backing up" would probably mean taking that young girl as her apprentice.
With the support of the Gu family, that little girl is bound to rise to great heights in the future.
This is the only way to truly slap those who dare to operate behind the scenes in the face.
The old woman's face darkened: "Take her as a disciple? Dream on!"
