Chapter 209 - Misunderstanding
Old Master Sun was laughing happily, but when he looked up and saw his grandson standing at the door of the living room, his face darkened.
"Smelly boy, what time is it now? You crawled back here, didn't you?"
"Master, look at the time now."
The old man turned his head to look at the big pendulum clock at the corner. It was half past six and twenty-nine. "Look, we're all late."
Wu Quanzhang was incredulous: "Grandpa, you can't take advantage of the fact that I'm your grandson and you're wearing a pair of reading glasses and then call a horse a zebra."
"Why are you talking so much nonsense..." The old man glared at him and said, "Come over here and meet him."
Wu Quanzhang curled his lips, strode to Grandma Wu's side, grabbed a handful of strawberries and threw himself into the single sofa:
"You truly are a veteran comrade with a strong character and a strong history. You treat guests with the warmth of spring, but treat your promising grandson with the coldness of winter."
After popping a strawberry into his mouth, Wu Quanzhang froze the moment he looked up. His pouting lips and nonchalant expression subconsciously faded, and he didn't even notice his absence of consciousness.
The girl across from me wore a simple white Hanfu dress, embroidered with red plum blossoms. Her waist seemed so slender that it could be held in one hand. Buttons fastened from waist to neck, her chest rising and falling with her breathing. Her neck was as slender as a swan's, and her skin was as white as the finest mutton-fat jade. Her palm-sized face was delicate and well-proportioned. Her lips were softly pursed, her nose was high, and her eyes, with their distinct black and white irises, seemed to see through people's hearts. Her thin, straight eyebrows added a touch of heroism to her face. Further up, her hair was half tied up with a jade hairpin, the other half gathered behind her back. At first glance, she seemed shrouded in mist, giving off a certain ethereal air.
"Look at you, you're so careless, and you still want me to not despise you?" Old Master Sun frowned and raised his hand to slap Wu Quanzhang on the back, "Sit up straight."
Wu Quanzhang sat up suddenly, stretched out his hand to block the old man's slap, and straightened his back. His mind was still spinning, and he finally understood why the guard couldn't find an adjective. This kind of beauty is too unique and rare. As the saying goes, it's difficult to depict the beauty of a beautiful woman, and it's difficult to depict her temperament.
Bah, bah, bah, that's not the tone he uses when he speaks. Wu Quanzhang came back to his senses and shuddered, shaking with invisible goosebumps.
"Xiao Ke, please forgive me for making fun of you. This is my good-for-nothing grandson. He's been slacking off all day and has no real job. He started his own company and only makes a little pocket money throughout the year, barely enough to support himself."
The old man smiled and introduced his grandson to Zhang Kezhi. He said he looked down on him, but his eyes were filled with pride. When he turned to face Wu Quanzhang, his expression changed:
"This is Xiao Ke, a girl from our old friend's family. It's a rare opportunity for her to come visit me, why don't you just greet her immediately?"
"Quanzhang Group, Wu Quanzhang, you should have heard of it." Wu Quanzhang put on a formal smile and nodded at Zhang Kezhi, the amazement in his heart just now disappearing without a trace.
No matter how pretty a girl is, once she's tainted with material gain, she becomes vulgar. It's fine for her to approach me, but to do anything to Grandpa is a taboo for him. Haha, a girl from a family of close friends? From childhood to adulthood, what kind of family of close friends has he not seen? If there was a beauty of this level, how could he not know about her?
"Zhang Kezhi of the Zhang family in Yinzhong..." A voice as resonant as ice and jade suddenly rang out. Zhang Kezhi nodded, a hint of politeness and a faint smile on his face.
The sound is quite nice, Wu Quanzhang thought, and symbolically pushed the glass plate towards Zhang Kezhi:
"These strawberries were just shipped in from the south yesterday. They haven't been in the freezer yet. Try them."
"No, thank you." Zhang Kezhi didn't move.
The old man could no longer bear it and slapped Wu Quanzhang on the back: "You are as old as a dog, do you know how to treat guests? The little girl is shy and embarrassed, can't you be more enthusiastic? You have two legs and are just a decoration, can't you stand up and let people pass?"
Wu Quanzhang's face wrinkled up at the blow, he gritted his teeth, stood up, grabbed the plate, and headed towards Zhang Kezhi.
"Really, no need. Grandma just gave it to me. I really don't like strawberries." Zhang Kezhi moved her body, and before she could stand up, the strawberries were placed in front of her.
She quickly stood up and pushed the strawberries back in front of Grandma Wu: "Grandma, eat more if you like. Eating more strawberries is good for your health."
This action brought back a loving and joyful smile from Grandma Wu: "Nannan is a good girl."
This is my grandma
Wu Quanzhang sat back angrily and couldn't help but open his mouth:
"Miss Zhang's home is quite far from here, isn't it? How come you only have time to visit now? After all, we are an old friend. It's really rude of you not to have entertained her for so many years."
Where did this guy come from? Do you really think that just because someone comes to their house, they become their family friend? The old man is old and likes to be fooled by the young, but he is not stupid.
"Haha, Xiao Ke's family usually doesn't make special contact with the outside world. They only go out when they have something important to do." The old man was happy when he said this. "It's rare for them to come to our house this time. I haven't seen anyone from their family in a long time."
Oh, they haven't contacted the outside world yet. If this goes on, they must be the hidden family in the story.
Wu Quanzhang continued with a smile, "Then I guess Miss Zhang must have something to do this time. It's not easy for her to find time to come to our house despite her busy schedule. It's an honor for our Wu family. I don't know what Miss Zhang is doing, but if there's anything I can do to help, please feel free to ask."
"I called you back because I need your help." The old man's face wrinkled a little more as he smiled. "Xiao Ke is going to take the postgraduate entrance exam soon. Isn't your house near C University? There happens to be a vacant room there. I was thinking of letting Xiao Ke stay with you. It will be convenient for her to come and go."
You want to break into my house right now? Are you crazy?
"Sir, it doesn't matter to me as a single man, but she's a girl. Is it appropriate for a single man and a single woman to be together?" Wu Quanzhang said bluntly.
"It's okay. You've been hanging out all day and won't be back home until late at night. It won't affect Xiao Ke's review. Besides, what's the saying 'one man and one woman'? Sister Wang will go with you and cook for you."
Wu Quanzhang frowned and tried to find an excuse:
"That won't do. How are you going to eat? Besides, what do you mean I'm going to be home so late at night? I've been feeling down lately and I'm trying to adjust my sleep schedule so I can be home on time every day."
"I knew you were weak, so what I do every day is just the right time for Mrs. Wang to take care of you. You don't have to worry about us. We recently assigned a nutritionist, so we have nutritious meals every day."
"That's also..." Wu Quanzhang was about to speak, but was interrupted by Zhang Kezhi:
"Grandpa Wu, I'd better rent a house by myself. I won't bother you anymore."
"How can that be?" the old man said anxiously. "Your grandfather entrusted you to me, so I have to be responsible for you. You are a girl and you don't often go out to interact with people. What should you do if you get hurt outside? Listen to Grandpa Wu and go live with your brother Quan Zhang. If there is anything, let him handle it for you. You can focus on your studies and don't worry about anything else."
Oh~ You're quite scheming.
Wu Quanzhang was about to speak when the old man slammed the table and fired at him:
"It's fine if you're lazy all day long, but you're still making excuses when I finally ask you to do something serious. What's the use of you? I don't care. Stop making so many excuses. Don't you just want to go out and have fun? As long as it doesn't affect Xiao Ke's postgraduate entrance exam, it's up to you. But you have to take good care of Xiao Ke. If anything happens to Xiao Ke or she feels uncomfortable, you won't be able to have a good life in the future."
What the hell is this? Who is his grandson?
Wu Quanzhang was so angry at this that he twitched. Grandma Wu patted his hands and smiled kindly and appropriately:
"My dear Zhang, Xiao Ke is a good girl. She has some family problems, so you should take good care of her. You are a brother, so you should act like a brother and take good care of your sister."
Grandma Wu rarely interrupted, but when she did, Wu Quanzhang would hold back his harsh words.
Suppressing his anger, Wu Quanzhang consoled himself: "It's okay. It's just five months of hard work. At most, I'll just have to be out early and back late, keeping a tight rein on the enemy and not give them any chance to exploit me." As for the difficult task of changing Grandpa's impression and revealing his true nature, he'll take it step by step.
"Okay, you can stay here. But some of my habits aren't very nice. If you're offended, don't blame me for not telling you in advance. Also, sometimes I stay at friends' houses, so I'm not always at home."
So, don't think that just because you're in the house, you can get the moon first. If she has a plan, he has a way to get over it. Talk it out in advance to avoid him being the one to handle all the mess later.
"Look at your behavior." The old man glared at him with disapproval, then turned to Zhang Kezhi and said with a smile, "Xiao Ke, your brother Quan Zhang has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. If you have any problems, just come to him. If he can't handle it, you can come to me. Don't be afraid."
Wu Quanzhang, who has a sharp tongue but a soft heart, stuffed a strawberry into his mouth and held it in.
"No, I'm just reading. It won't be any trouble."
She's quite good at pretending to be well behaved. I hope it's true as she said. Wu Quanzhang continued stuffing strawberries into her mouth.
"Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eating. You're eating so many strawberries even though it's almost time for dinner." The old man glared at me, "You're speechless. You don't know how to say a word."
"Well, no one goes to my place usually. Sister Xiao Ke, if you have anything to prepare, please let me know so I can go back and prepare it. When do you plan to go?"
"You should take Xiao Ke and Wang Sao with you later. Xiao Ke's things are with you. If there's anything missing, you can buy it later." Still looking down on him, the old man turned to Zhang Kezhi and said, "If you need anything, just tell your brother Quan Zhang. Don't be polite to him."
"I don't need anything special." Zhang Kezhi nodded calmly to Wu Quanzhang, "Thank you for the trouble."
Everything is ready, but you're still pretending. Do you think he's a fool? Haha, there's still a long way to go. Don't let this gold-digger who clings to the powerful suffer a loss and teach her a lesson. He destroyed his abdominal muscles and admitted defeat in front of his brothers.
