Xiang Yin raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Gu Man. He subconsciously asked, “What is it?”
“I have to go to the Cui Family. Grandpa might not welcome you.” Gu Man’s words were tactful, but Old Master Cui was not only unwelcoming. When he saw Xiang Yin, he wished he could chase him out of the Cui Family.
Hearing this, Xiang Yin fell silent for a moment before looking up. “I’ll send you there.”
“Aren’t you afraid that Grandpa…” Although Gu Man didn’t finish speaking, her meaning was very clear.
“If I’m despised again, I’ve already been there. 1 don’t care about today.” Xiang Yin was the first to walk out.
When Gu Man heard his words, she thought for a moment. That was indeed what he meant, so she naturally followed behind him.
Another main reason was that the two of them had not been together for a long time. Although she did not feel it before, she felt that something was missing from her side now.
Huang Jue consciously opened the door of the passenger seat and sat obediently in the back.
He even gave Xiang Yin a thumbs-up in the direction of the rearview mirror.
As soon as Gu Man looked up, she met Huang Jue’s gaze. The latter immediately looked away guiltily and pretended that nothing had happened. He was still whistling as if nothing had happened.
Xiang Yin saw this scene clearly through the rearview mirror and couldn’t help but laugh.
When he arrived at the Cui Family residence, Old Master Cui had already welcomed him at the door. When he saw the familiar car, his old face darkened.
She was afraid that the words “Xiang Yin is not welcome” would be engraved on his face.
Sure enough, as soon as the car stopped and Xiang Yin got out of the car, he was scolded by Old Master Cui. “What are you doing here? 1 didn’t invite you.”
Xiang Yin followed his thick-skinned guidelines to the end and pretended not to hear Old Master Cui’s words.
Old Master Cui was so angry that he almost went forward and hit Xiang Yin with his walking stick. Fortunately, Gu Man appeared in time and stood between the two of them, preventing a bloodbath.
She took out the carefully carved crepe myrtle and placed it in Old Master Cui’s palm. The jade was not big to begin with, and after carving it, it looked even smaller and exquisite.
When he saw the familiar color, Old Master Cui immediately remembered that this was the peach blossom spring that Gu Man had bought at the auction.
When he saw the jade of the crepe myrtle flower, Old Master Cui’s heart trembled fiercely. His eyes instantly turned red, and the hand holding the crepe myrtle flower trembled slightly.
“Thank you for your care today, Grandpa. This small gift is not enough.” Gu Man bowed slightly, her hair falling.
Gu Man, who had always liked a high ponytail, tied her hair up and put on a very exquisite white jade hairpin.
Only then did Old Master Cui realize that Gu Man was actually wearing a green cheongsam today. She was young and lively. Her face was not covered in makeup, but she looked like the person in his memory.
He turned around and heartache surged into his heart at this moment. He sniffed hard and tried his best to maintain his status as an elder, but he could not say anything. He could only wave his hand to signal them to follow him in.
Xiang Yin’s gaze landed on Gu Man’s back. His well-defined hand slowly moved up her back and finally landed on the hair hanging down her temples.
That strand of hair was extremely playful. It was not pinned to the hairpin, but scattered around her neck.
Xiang Yin came back to his senses after a moment. His hand fell. “It’s very beautiful, but it’s not like you.”
Gu Man turned around with a faint smile on her lips. “As long as Grandpa is happy.”
Her smile pulled back all the abruptness and fused it into her own characteristics.
Xiang Yin immediately felt that he had misspoken just now. Gu Man was like no one but herself.
Old Master Cui could link her to the person in his memory because he missed her. Part of the reason was that Gu Man’s eyebrows were very similar to that person’s, but Gu Man was Gu Man. Even if she deliberately disguised herself, one could tell the difference at a glance.
The two of them followed Old Master Cui into the villa. Along the way, Old Master Cui had already adjusted his emotions. However, his red eyes and his occasional absent-mindedness still retained his emotions.
“Girl, Ah Mai is upstairs. Go up with your brother. 1 have a few words to say to him,” Old Master Cui said calmly as he looked at Xiang Yin behind Gu Man..
