Chapter 403 Visiting Old Master Sun and Encountering the Doorman
Lin Cheng turned to leave, but Murong Ting suddenly called him back, and after a moment's thought, asked, "Lin Cheng, let me ask you a question. If you have a very good friend who never asks you for help when she encounters difficulties, what do you think her mentality is? Does she not consider you one of her own?"
Lin Cheng asked in confusion, "Young Master Ting, is this friend you're talking about a man or a woman?"
Murong Ting asked, puzzled, "Is there a difference?"
"Of course!" Lin Cheng said, sounding like a psychology expert. "Men care about their pride, and women care about being cared for. If they don't say anything, they're definitely waiting for you to take the initiative."
Murong Ting suddenly realized and said "Oh," "Okay, I understand. Can you book me a flight to Xiangcheng for tomorrow?"
Lin Cheng, ever the gossip, asked, "Young Master Ting, which friend are you meeting? You seem quite interested."
Murong Ting, who had just been humbly seeking advice, immediately changed his expression: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. You can leave now!"
Lin Cheng: ? ? ?
...
Xiangcheng Airport.
Around 12:00, Kong Wange arrived at the underground taxi stand with her five-figure hiking stick.
Once in the car, she headed straight for the hotel she had booked.
Although Xiangcheng is not far from Kyoto, the environment is vastly different. It is known as one of the most livable cities because of its natural hot springs and endless grasslands.
In comparison, Kyoto's skyscrapers and bustling transportation network seem rather noisy.
However, Kong Wange was preoccupied with something and had no heart to enjoy the beautiful scenery.
After putting her luggage in the hotel, in order to save time from Wen Luoyun, she quickly packed her things and headed to Old Master Sun's residence without even having a meal.
Mr. Sun's address is not hard to find. After retiring, he bought a villa located halfway up Huayu Mountain.
Although the villa is in a remote location, it is not deserted.
Every year, there are at least eight hundred or a thousand people who come to ask Master Sun to come out of retirement, but without exception, they are all turned away at the gate by Master Sun.
Kong Wange knew she was unlikely to be the exception, but she still needed to test the waters first to figure out what strategies to adjust next.
Although the villa is built halfway up the mountain, there is a complete and wide asphalt road from the foot of the mountain to the top, so cars can drive all the way up without much effort.
The real challenge is figuring out how to meet with Old Master Sun.
Kong Wange carefully tidied her clothes in front of the villa before pressing the doorbell.
The doorbell rang twice before the door was opened from the inside.
Kong Wange immediately put on a professional smile, but when she looked down, she was stunned.
To everyone's surprise, a tiny little kid opened the door.
The little boy was only six or seven years old, wearing a T-shirt and denim shorts. His face was a bit chubby. When he saw Kong Wange, he pouted and asked, "Huh, who are you?"
Kong Wange tried her best to appear kind and approachable, her eyes crinkling as she squatted down and said, "Little friend, is this Mr. Sun Ronghai's home? I've come here specifically to visit him."
"Looking for my grandpa?" The little boy looked her up and down, then waved his little hand impatiently: "He's not here, he's not here. Don't you people go to work, study, or improve yourselves? Why do you have so much time to come looking for my grandpa every day?"
Sure enough, it seems that many people come to see Old Master Sun every day.
Kong Wange coughed lightly and said, "Little friend, I'm different from others. I have something important to discuss with your grandfather. I've gone through a lot of trouble to see him, so please let me in, okay?"
The little bean snorted: "You're all saying the same thing. Can't you come up with some new words? You're the one who's gone through mountains and rivers, while some people have gone through fire and water."
Kong Wange: "..."
She thought for a moment and took out two chocolates from her backpack. They were the brand that her three little ones loved the most. "These chocolates are so smooth. How about we trade? Let me go inside, and you can have these."
To everyone's surprise, the little boy immediately closed the door even tighter and looked at her warily: "Grandpa said not to eat anything given by strangers. These people are not good people. Humph, you big bad guy, if you don't leave, I'll let Big Yellow bite you!"
As the little boy spoke, he turned his head and shouted into the yard, "Big Yellow, Big Yellow, where are you? Come out quickly, I've got a job for you, I'll treat you to ribs!"
Kong Wange: "?"
She reacted quickly, covering his mouth: "Don't shout, you've misunderstood Auntie, Auntie is really not a bad person..."
"Ah Huang! Where have you been? Someone has kidnapped your little master... mmm..."
The little boy struggled frantically as Kong Wange covered his mouth.
Kong Wange didn't know how things had suddenly turned out this way.
Her own hair was messed up by the little boy, but she didn't care at all. Instead, she was trying to reason with him: "Little boy, stop yelling. Look at me carefully. Auntie is so pretty. How do I look like a bad person?"
The little bean snorted and tried to poke his little mouth out from under Kong Wange's big hand: "Narcissistic! Am I proud of how I look? My grandpa said that beautiful women are all black-hearted! I'll count to three, and if you don't leave, I'll really call you a dog!"
Seeing that she couldn't reason with this little kid, Kong Wange said helplessly, "Fine, I'll leave, but before I leave, could you please give this to your grandfather and say that Kong Wange from the Wen family has come to visit and would like to meet him? Is that alright?"
She then handed the hiking pole next to her to the little boy.
The little boy got even angrier when he saw that the hiking stick wasn't taken: "My grandpa is old and has leg injuries, so he hasn't been hiking for a long time. Well, you're not only bad-hearted, but also wicked. I think you're just here to cause trouble. Why don't you say that this is a big walking stick for him?"
Kong Wange: "?"
What to do? It seems like this gift has been delivered to a brick wall.
The little guy snorted: "Is there anything else? If not, hurry up and take your cane, oh no, trekking pole, home. Bye-bye."
After saying that, the little boy made a face at her and slammed the door shut.
“Hey, you…”
Kong Wange wanted to stop him again, but the little boy had clearly learned his lesson and was much more agile and nimble than before.
Kong Wange was turned away and stood there helplessly.
She was so depressed that she picked up her hiking stick and walked to a rock. Exhausted from the journey, she didn't care about her appearance and plopped down on the rock.
She suddenly missed her three darlings terribly. Compared to them, her three little ones were nothing but little angels.
After being pestered by the little boy for so long, she finally understood why Old Master Sun was able to successfully turn away so many people. When you encounter a child like this, you really can't reason with him and you can't communicate with him.
The stones were warm from the sun. After sitting for a while, Kong Wange perked up again, opened her phone, and ordered takeout.
There's a saying that goes something like this: even a virtuous woman can be swayed by a persistent wolf, and vice versa.
She was prepared for a protracted battle; she refused to believe that Old Man Sun would stay at home forever.
