Chapter 218 Look forward to it
Zheng Duoduo became alert, glanced at Bai Youyou worriedly, and was about to shake his head.
Bai Youyou asked cheerfully, "When? Where?"
The other party obviously didn't expect Bai Youyou to agree so readily. He thought for a moment and then answered immediately;
"I will send the address and time to your mobile phone. I hope you will be on time for the appointment."
"knew."
"Who is the old man?"
Zheng Duoduo always felt that the person who made the call was not a good person.
Bai Youyou touched her head and said, "Relax, don't act like I'm easy to bully. No one can bully me now."
Zheng Duoduo looked as if he didn't believe it, which made Bai Youyou laugh. "It's Shi Yue's grandfather. He probably wants to ask me about Shi Yue."
"His grandson, why would I ask you?"
“Sometimes there are many things that cannot be communicated directly between generations, and they need an outsider to help them sort it out.”
As he was speaking, a message came on his phone, and Bai Youyou opened it and took a look;
"Tomorrow at 12 noon, Shi's old house"
The next day, Bai Youyou appeared at the doors of the 10 old houses on time.
Looking at the building in front of me, a majestic and ancient aura blows over me.
The house before him made him deeply understand what a top-notch wealthy family was.
She pressed the doorbell.
Then a man's figure slowly appeared before my eyes.
He put on a polite yet distant smile and nodded slightly towards Bai Youyou to show his politeness.
Bai Youyou glanced at him briefly and said, "You are the one who sent me this message, right?"
It is a certainty, not a doubt.
A fleeting look of surprise crossed the assistant's face, but he quickly regained his composure, putting on an official smile;
"Indeed, the old man has been waiting for a long time. Miss Bai, please!"
He made an inviting gesture, and Bai Youyou stepped through the heavy gate and walked into the deep courtyard...
With every step, there was a new scene. Although Bai Youyou followed her assistant calmly and seemed to be staring intently, she was actually sighing wildly in her heart.
No wonder Shi Yue gave her the house without blinking an eye. The cost of any magnificent rockery in this villa manor is staggering.
Alas, it is true that people are often compared to others.
The assistant led her to the door of a room with a smile on her face, "Miss Bai, please."
As he pushed open the door, Bai Youyou walked into the study and closed the door behind her.
Bai Youyou continued to walk straight inside until she stopped in front of a desk. A slightly hunched figure was facing away from her, facing the towering mahogany bookshelf in front of her.
He didn't turn around, and Bai Youyou didn't say anything. After a moment of silence, the old man turned around with a hearty laugh.
Looking at the girl in front of him who remained calm, he couldn't help but look at her twice more.
A man like him, who is at the pinnacle of the business world, can give people an invisible sense of pressure even when smiling, not to mention that such a young child can be so calm when facing him.
This made the old man look at her with a higher opinion.
"Sit down."
Bai Youyou was not polite and sat down right after the old man did.
She looked at the old man who seemed very strong but was actually suffering from illness. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
"I heard that you can tell fortunes. Why don't you tell me why I'm looking for you?"
Bai Youyou pursed her lips slightly. This old man was suffering from illness. Even though medicine was so advanced now, even such a rich person could not escape birth, aging, sickness and death. The main thing was that the person concerned knew his own physical condition, which was very helpless.
"It's because of Shi Yue, I think the old man has checked so many things about me, he should know that Shi Yue and I are just friends at best."
The old man raised his eyebrows. Although there was no indication from previous information that these two people had any ambiguous intimacy, it was even as she said that they got along naturally like friends.
But he also got a piece of information from the side, that someone actually looked down on his grandson?
He still didn't believe it, "But didn't you successfully ruin Ah Yue's marriage?"
Bai Youyou nodded and smiled, then raised her eyes to look at the old man opposite her, "Rather than saying that I messed it up, it's better to say that I saved him from suffering. After all, marriage is a lifelong thing, and his marriage is under the watchful eyes of thousands of people. Sometimes in order to maintain some superficial harmony, you need to sacrifice some things, such as his own happiness."
Then he looked at the old man with a sharp look and said with a smile, "So you just want him to be happy, or do you want to fulfill your wish?"
The old man looked at Bai Youyou with a scrutinizing look, but she didn't shy away from his questioning and her eyes were honest.
"How do you know that what I arranged for him is not the best?"
"Shi Yue was born at the top of the pyramid, with a starting point that many people can only dream of. However, he also paid a heavy price, and he didn't want to follow his parents' old path!"
The old man's eyes began to warm up. When people get old, they like to reminisce about the past. Many things are sealed up not because they have been forgotten, but because they dare not face them again.
He became a little gloomy when Bai Youyou mentioned his son and daughter-in-law, "You are just a little girl, what do you know?"
"I know you love Shi Yue and want to arrange everything for him, but you also have to ask him if he wants to."
"You are so brave!"
The old man slammed the table hard and his breathing became heavy. Bai Youyou lowered her eyes to look at the old man's slightly trembling hands on the table.
"You don't have to scare me. If I were scared, I wouldn't have come today. I know you want to treat Shi Yue well, so you came to me. Otherwise, you would have insisted on manipulating Shi Yue's life the way you want."
The old man who had been frowning all this time suddenly laughed out loud and pointed at Bai Youyou;
"Okay, okay, you are such an interesting little girl. No wonder Ah Yue is able to be your friend. Your eyes are clean and clear, without a trace of desire. It seems that our Ah Yue is really not in your eyes."
After saying this, he sighed with emotion. He never thought that his grandson could make such a close friend of the opposite sex.
"Ah Yue has told you about his parents, right? This kid has kept everything from you. Well, as an old man, I'm too involved and will be disliked..."
Looking at the old man's lonely face, it seemed that he was really worried about Shi Yue. If he was gone, Shi Yue would really become a lonely man. Just thinking about it made him feel heartbroken.
"Some things are arranged by God. Maybe her true love will appear soon."
The old man's eyes lit up, "Really?"
Bai Youyou took a look at Shi Yue's face yesterday and saw that his love life was about to bloom.
"You can look forward to it."
