"A university student?" Old Master He’s eyes brightened as he chuckled, "No wonder Xiaonan hasn’t been in a relationship all these years, he likes the idea of an older man with a younger woman."
She was somewhat speechless. Where was this conversation heading?
"Dad, you might have misunderstood my point. I’ve heard the student Xiaonan sponsors is named Shen Mianmian, who doesn’t have the best values and is also an orphan."
"Nonsense, if she wasn’t an orphan, would Xiaonan have had the chance to sponsor anyone?" Old Master He said. Get full chapters from 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
"..." Fu Hua was speechless again, "Dad, that girl’s values are questionable, she’s all looks and no substance."
Old Master He fell silent for a moment, then asked, "Have you met her?"
"I saw her once in the mall today," Fu Hua replied truthfully.
Old Master He raised an eyebrow, "You only saw her once, how do you know her values are lacking?"
"Xining had met this girl before, she’s the one who told me about her."
"You," Old Master He laughed, "you’re not as observant as an old man like me. Xining has liked Xiaonan since she was a child, and now a rival in love has appeared. Could you really expect to hear any praise about her rival from her?"
Fu Hua: "..." She found herself unable to rebut that.
"The fact that the girl is studying in Beijing showcases her good academic performance. I trust Xiaonan’s judgment; the girls he takes interest in can’t be too bad, so you needn’t worry so much."
"The girl’s academics are indeed impressive. According to Xiaonan, she got into Beijing University with the top scores in the province," Fu Hua had to admit this was true.
Setting everything else aside, she was quite satisfied with her appearance and academics.
However, a young girl like her should prioritize her studies. Starting a relationship before graduation was something Fu Hua really disliked.
Old Master He laughed heartily with satisfaction, "I told you, Xiaonan’s judgment isn’t bad. Where is the girl living now? Have Xiaonan bring her over for dinner."
Seeing Old Master He getting carried away, she felt the need to shatter his illusion.
"Dad, this is just my suspicion. Whether she is Xiaonan’s girlfriend, I’m not certain, but I think it’s necessary to investigate her background regardless. Xining may be a bit willful, but she wouldn’t lie."
Old Master He’s smile froze on his face, "After all this, you’re just teasing this old man into being needlessly happy?"
Fu Hua felt wronged, "Dad, I said it was my suspicion from the start. I never confirmed their relationship."
It was he who had veered off track.
Old Master He: "..." So, it was his fault?
He changed the subject, "It’s not polite to casually investigate others. Better not to do such things. Xiaonan would definitely be upset if he found out."
"Alright!" Fu Hua nodded in agreement.
"It’s getting late. If there’s nothing else, you should head back early. I need to take a nap," Old Master He stood up, indicating it was time for her to leave, and then headed to his bedroom.
Fu Hua had no choice but to leave.
No sooner had she stepped out the door than Old Master He came out of his bedroom, "Butler Li, call Xiaoxu over."
Butler Li made the call, and it wasn’t long before Xiaoxu arrived at Old Master He’s residence on his bicycle.
Old Master He called him Xiaoxu, but he wasn’t young either, already in his fifties. It was just Old Master He who referred to him that way.
"Find out something for me, about a young girl named Shen Mianmian from Licheng, who topped her province in the exams," he said.
