Old Master Yong was frightened by his aggressive gaze and took a step back. He knew nothing about the An family's affairs.
However--
"Okay." The old man's eyes became even more stern, and the grandfather and grandson exchanged sharp words. "Regardless of whether what you said is true or not, the country has its own laws, and no one can defy the law!"
"No!" Yong Zhixu retorted forcefully, "No one despises the law, but the light of the law cannot reach every corner of this world. Some crimes will always be buried by corruption, and some injustices will always be hidden in the abyss."
"If justice is not served under the law, then she can be the one who is fair. I don't think that was murder. She just executed the person who needed to be executed!"
"I haven't lost my mind. She did what she was supposed to do, and I did what I wanted to do. You're my grandfather. You can say I wasn't restrained enough, you can blame me, but you can never say she's misbehaving! You're definitely not qualified to criticize her!"
Every word the man spoke was so powerful and insightful that it caused a storm to form in Old Man Yong's eyes.
He had never seen such care and tenacity in him before, which almost overturned his perception of him.
This grandson has been well-behaved since he was a child, with a perfect personality, excellent character and academic performance, and he never causes him any worries.
When he refused marriage in the past, he just thought it was rebellious.
But at this moment he realized that he was more than just rebellious. He was too opinionated, sharp and reserved, and could not be controlled by anyone.
The old man was speechless for a long time. This grandson...
Diagonally opposite, Tang Xili, who had returned, stood behind the heavy gate of the villa, her heart pounding.
No one despises the law, but the light of the law cannot reach every corner of this world. Some crimes will always be buried by corruption, and some injustices will always be hidden in the abyss.
If justice is not served under the law, then she can be the law. I don't think that was murder, she just executed the person who should be executed!
These words were like a huge rock that fell from the sky and hit her heart directly, stirring up huge waves in the quiet lake of her heart.
Although he had helped her many times, she always believed that the children raised in such an orthodox family with a clean family tradition and great virtue could never be on the same wavelength as her and would never be the same kind of people.
But he actually stood against orthodoxy and supported her with such reason.
"Gudong-gudong-gudong-"
My brain was filled with the sound of my heartbeat, which was like a drum, getting heavier and heavier.
She looked up at the boundless sky, a look of disbelief in her eyes. [I like her, I can't live without her, I need her. I hope you respect and bless her...]
So, he likes her?
So he said it was for profit in order to dispel her doubts?
Tang Xili had thought about many things, but had never thought about this.
All the mysteries became clear as if the fog had been cleared away, and those unexplainable doubts were answered in an instant.
Outside, Mr. Yong finally recovered from his shock.
His face darkened and he picked up his crutch, ready to hit this unfilial guy who retorted ten times for every word he said.
Old Zheng quickly grabbed his crutch and stopped him, "Sir, please calm down. Actually... I think what Xiao Xu said makes a lot of sense..."
Old Master Yong glared, "Which side are you on? You were turned against me by just a few words?"
Old Zheng stammered, "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its creditor. If that girl hadn't killed innocent people, I wouldn't have done anything wrong. You reap what you sow. Justice is clear, and it would be much more satisfying if we didn't blame anyone else!"
Mr. Yong: “!!!”
"Have you been brainwashed by him?"
The old man gave him a look of disappointment, then looked at Yong Zhixu. In fact, he had no prejudice against the little girl. If it was true as the brat said, that she had such a deep hatred with the An family, he would never say anything.
What made him dissatisfied was that this crazy guy of his, who was always calm and restrained, could be so reckless.
Families like theirs are watched by so many eyes outside, afraid that they might make a mistake and be caught.
He is so good, talking about morality and justice, but for that person, he has disregarded the law many times, right?
This unfilial thing!
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Yong Zhixu thought of something and said solemnly, "Grandpa, the An family is looking for you just to borrow a knife to kill someone. Think carefully, do you really want to be a knife in someone else's hand?"
The old man's face turned even darker after hearing this. How could he not know that the An family wanted to borrow his knife?
But in fact, he didn't come here today to be the knife, he just wanted to meet secretly.
I didn't expect this brat to come up and start to scold me.
Old Master Yong was a little angry because he, who was always eloquent, was speechless.
"Get out!" Old Master Yong was furious. "Get out, get out now!"
Yong Zhixu knew that he had made the old man angry, but he had no intention of coaxing him. Sometimes, one cannot spoil a child too much.
He turned and left.
Seeing that he really left without even asking him to leave, Old Master Yong gritted his teeth in anger and said, "Stop!"
He leaned on his cane and came to Yong Zhixu, asking somewhat unwillingly, "Does it have to be her? Can it be done without her?"
"She is indispensable. We can't do without her." Yong Zhixu's answer remained unchanged.
The old man still refused to give up, "Is she so special?"
Yong Zhixu raised his head and looked at the villa in front of him, and the scene of the first time he met her flashed through his mind.
She is under the rainbow, like the rainbow, better than the rainbow.
His eyelashes drooped slightly as he met Old Man Yong's eyes, his gaze so firm, "Of course she is special. Just by standing in my sight, she wins over everything. Even if we meet a hundred times, and fall for her a hundred times, my soul will always throb only for her."
The old man was startled, as if he had been hit head-on by something. "What if I insist on not agreeing?"
Yong Zhixu smiled, his eyes falling on the old man's silver hair. "Grandpa, she doesn't even know I like her. I don't even know if she agrees or not. It's too early to tell whether you agree or not. Please have some self-awareness."
"Who are you slandering, you little brat?" The old man cursed through gritted teeth, then he was surprised, "She doesn't know?"
It's so obvious, but you can't see it? Or is it that she simply doesn't like his grandson?
Yong Zhixu sighed inaudibly, "She has emotional apathy..."
It was the first time that Old Master Yong saw frustration in Yong Zhixu. He was moved, "What if she doesn't agree? What will you do?"
"What can I do?" Yong Zhixu smiled. "If you don't agree, then don't agree. I don't read books just to read the last page... Grandpa, I hope you won't be so boundless as you were today. If we're destined to be together, I'll introduce her to you. If not, there's no need to meet her. Please respect her..."
The wind blew through the treetops, and a few reddish koelreuteria fruit bags fell at the old man's feet. He was silent for a moment, then nodded.
