Buzz.
The driver’s cell phone rang.
“Did you get her?”
“Yes, Old Master. Don’t worry. Young Madam is doing very well.”
“That’s good. Take it slow.”
“Yes, Old Master.”
Xie Ru leaned back in her chair and relaxed. Fortunately, she was just a step away from taking this person’s life.
Once they approached the blind spot, Xie Ru would take out her mini catapult hidden on her body. Although it would not kill anyone in one shot, it would provide sufficient time for her to escape in times of danger.
“Bai Yunhua, Grandpa has kidnapped Xie Ru. Follow him and take a look.”
“What? You want me to go and see if anything happened to your wife?”
Gu Liao gave him a cold glance and said, “Don’t tell me you want me to go and show up at the Gu family’s main house, launching the battle between a vegetable and a zombie?”
“Gosh, Grandpa definitely won’t do anything to your wife. You can rest assured.”
“I’m still at ease. I’m worried about the others in the main house. That family hasn’t moved out of the Gu family’s old mansion for a long time. Perhaps they have already planned to show off to Xie Ru.”
“You must be suffering from paranoia.”
“Whether you go or not, I think your girlfriend will soon be found out by Uncle Bai.”
“Don’t, don’t. Alright, alright. You got me. I’ll go, I’ll go, happy?”
The Gu family’s old residence was located halfway up the mountain in a picturesque place.
“The children of the Xie family are very well-behaved. Child, do you know that you’re very much like your father?”
“Who are you? Where is this place? Isn’t this the Gu family’s place?”
Xie Ru sighed when she saw the old man waving in front of her.
“This is the Gu family. I’m Gu Liao’s grandfather. You can call me Grandfather too.”
“Hello, Grandfather. I was rude just now. Please forgive me.”
The old master of the Gu family was laughing so hard that his face was all scrunched up. “What a good child. I even saw you when you were young. You didn’t look like this at that time. You turned out to be a beautiful swan.”
Xie Ru turned shy. That was a long time ago, now a memory of the past. “Grandfather, don’t tease me anymore. I’m already so old.”
“No matter how old you are, you are still a child in my eyes.”
“Yes, you’re right.” Xie Ru smiled apologetically.
Bai Yunhua rushed to the Gu family’s old mansion. He started imagining a fight breaking out between the rich and powerful families countless times in his mind until he saw an old man and a young woman sitting together peacefully. The corners of his mouth twitched violently.
Gu Liao’s worries were all in vain. Xie Ru was not a three-year-old child. How could she not be able to deal with an old man? Only Gu Liao himself thought that his wife was not strong enough to handle his grandfather.
“Little Ru, isn’t this fun?”
“Yes, Grandpa.”
The old master saw Bai Yunhua standing next to him and snorted. It must be his precious grandson this time.
“Gu Liao asked you to come, didn’t he?”
“Heh. Hello, Grandpa. No, I’m just worried about your health. Come, let me have a look.”
Xie Ru looked at the old master of the Gu family who did not seem worried at all. It seemed that everyone knew about Gu Liao’s health, only the people of the Xie family didn’t.
“Don’t lie to me. I won’t do anything to Little Ru. Besides, Little Ru will be having her meal here today, so tell him that he can stop worrying.”
“Well…”
Bai Yunhua was a little embarrassed, but upon second thought, Gu Liao only wanted him to see if Xie Ru was okay. He didn’t say anything about bringing her back safely.
“What? Do you want me to beg you?” He looked at Bai Yunhua with dissatisfaction. “Little Ru, Grandpa hasn’t given you a gift yet. There is a vacant courtyard house. I will give it to you as a gift.”
“Grandpa, that’s too much.”
“No, it isn’t. Plus, it’s useless for Grandpa to keep it.”
Then, he called for someone to go through the formalities. Bai Yunhua looked envious. This was a courtyard house. Moreover, the courtyard house that was bought by Old Master of the Gu family, making it more valuable.
“Oh my, I heard that a guest has arrived and didn’t expect it to be Young Master Bai. Oh, could this be your girlfriend?”
“Auntie Gu is really funny.. Don’t you recognize the new young madam of the Gu family? I wonder if those hardworking entertainment board editors who are trying their best to publicize this will end up vomiting blood if they heard you?”
