Old Yang glanced at his subordinate indifferently.
"Mr. Yang, I'm sorry, I was too talkative."
The subordinate lowered his eyes and said.
"Don't let me hear those words again."
Old Yang said, "I'd like to adopt Mo Wan as my goddaughter. If it works out, she'll be your master."
"Yes, Elder Yang."
The subordinate responded.
Old Yang waved his hand, and his subordinate bowed and left.
He took another sip of tea, thought for a moment, and then called Shu Mowan.
"Little Mo Wan, I've acquired a few pounds of fine tea. Would you like to come and have some with me?"
As soon as the call connected, he extended a friendly invitation.
Since his elderly mother started taking the medicine given to him by Shu Mowan, she has been less aches and pains and can now get a few hours of good sleep at night, which is great news for him.
Even if Shu Mowan doesn't agree to be his goddaughter, he's still willing to befriend her because of her excellent medical skills.
After all, everyone gets sick sometimes.
"Uncle Yang, I'm still eating. Can I come find you after I finish eating?"
Shu Mowan said.
"It's okay, you can eat. You can come over anytime."
Old Yang said with a smile.
The two chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up.
After hanging up the phone, Shu Mowan received a WeChat message from Xiao Jiyu, saying that Fu Rong had gone to curry favor with Old Yang again.
After reading the WeChat message, Shu Mowan pursed her lips and decided to send some nice things to Old Master Yang later.
People are putting up with Fu Rong's harassment out of respect for her, so she should at least reciprocate.
After dinner, Si Tingyu and Shu Lingxuan accompanied her to Old Master Yang's place.
"Tingyu, you follow me everywhere. Are you trying to get close to Xiao Mowan?"
Old Yang was clearly familiar with Si Tingyu. Seeing that he had followed Shu Mowan twice, he half-jokingly and half-probingly asked.
He has nephews and nieces, and he intends to introduce them to Shu Mowan. If Si Tingyu, a formidable rival, joins the fray, his nephews and nieces' chances of winning the pursuit will be slim.
“Uncle Yang, she and I were betrothed when we were little. Now that she has been recognized, I’ll wait until she’s a little older before I marry her.”
Si Tingyu declared his sovereignty.
Old Yang glanced at him suspiciously and said, "But didn't I hear that you took the initiative to cancel the betrothal?"
Upon hearing this, Si Tingyu raised his hand and touched his nose, feeling somewhat guilty.
"Uncle Yang, I was just joking. Don't take it seriously."
He defended himself.
Old Yang frowned: "Tingyu, this is a cancellation, how can you joke about it?"
"How about this, even if you cancel, you shouldn't mind me introducing Xiao Mowan to some promising young men, right?"
Old Yang said to himself.
"..."
Si Tingyu remained silent for a moment.
"Uncle Yang, don't you think it's a bit unethical of you to try and steal my boyfriend right in front of me?"
He almost gritted his teeth as he spoke.
Old Yang said innocently, "Tingyu, what are you saying? You and Xiao Mowan have no relationship anymore, right? She's single and unmarried, isn't it normal for me to introduce her to boys?"
"Furthermore, I see that you are several years older than her. With that age difference, it's hard to have the same interests. It's better to chat with someone of similar age. So I think it's better for you to be her older brother from a prominent family."
Old people know how to hurt others.
Si Tingyu felt as if his heart had been pierced with a sieve.
He was still bothered by the age difference, having heard so much about it, and was afraid that Shu Mowan would think he was too old.
Shu Lingxuan chuckled to himself.
Serves him right for letting Si Tingyu cling to his sister!
"Uncle Yang, it takes a man a few years to learn how to care for others."
Si Tingyu swallowed his frustration and smiled calmly, saying, "Anyone your age is just a bunch of greenhorns. They're not mature enough themselves, let alone know how to care for others. Wanwan, right?"
He was speaking to Shu Mowan after that.
Shu Mowan was willing to give Si Tingyu face, so she nodded.
"Little Mo Wan, it's alright. If you like older women, I have plenty of those too."
Old Yang laughed and said, "Take whatever you want."
Shu Mowan was both amused and exasperated. This was like picking out cabbages at the market.
"Uncle Yang, I'm still young and have no plans to date right now."
She politely declined, saying, "I prefer focusing on my career to talking about relationships right now."
Old Yang wasn't angry at all, and continued cheerfully, "It's good to have a career. Girls should have their own careers so that they can stand on their own two feet in this world."
Regardless of gender, without a career, even if you come from a good family, you will be looked down upon by others.
"Tell me about the group of talented young men I know when you're interested in dating, and I'll introduce them to you."
He said with a smile.
Shu Mowan just smiled and didn't reply.
"Tingyu, it seems your chances are over for now."
Old Yang said to Si Tingyu, "But young people shouldn't be discouraged. Maybe if you pursue Xiao Mowan for a few years, she'll give in."
Si Tingyu wasn't angry; instead, he went along with it, saying, "Uncle Yang is right."
"Xiao Mowan, have you told your parents about the matter of us becoming godparents?"
Now, let's get back to the main topic.
Shu Mowan said, "Uncle Yang, I've spoken to them, and they have no objections."
"Once you've resolved the matter of raising your sister, I'll throw a grand banquet to introduce you to everyone, okay?"
Old Yang was pleased and sought Shu Mowan's opinion.
Shu Mowan is fine, but...
"Uncle Yang, would you mind inviting my grandma?"
She said.
"If you'd like, then I'll invite her."
Old Yang agreed, but he still had concerns. "But aren't you afraid she'll cause a scene at the godparent recognition banquet?"
Seeing how much Fu Rong favors that adopted granddaughter, knowing that he was asked by Shu Mowan to dump her, giving her hope and then taking it away, she probably won't be able to resist making a scene at the godparent recognition banquet.
