Pampered by My Billionaire Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 8: The Power to Troll Grandpa

The expansive Gu Family Mansion occupied the best spot in the entire luxurious villa district. Known as the "King of Villas" in the area, it spanned 60 acres. From the outside, the villa appeared understated and elegant, surrounded entirely by lush lawns, while the back garden was adorned with blooming roses, adding a touch of romance to the entire scene.

The villa district was indeed a serene enclave amid the bustling city. In front of the mansion lay a crescent-shaped swimming pool, with crystal-clear blue water that looked even more tranquil and beautiful under the evening starlight.

Meanwhile, inside the villa's grand hall, Old Master Gu, his son Gu Shengnian, and daughter-in-law Qi Xiuyan were casually chatting in the living room. As Yun City's most prestigious family, with immeasurable wealth that could rival nations, and four exceptionally outstanding descendants, Old Master Gu, who had long since retired, was jovially conversing with his son and daughter-in-law. From time to time, a light chuckle escaped his lips, creating a scene of familial warmth and harmony.

"Old Master, Sir, Madam, the Eldest Young Master has returned! His car is already parked at the entrance, and he's entered the courtyard!" At that moment, the butler, dressed in traditional Chinese attire, hurriedly walked in, wiping the sweat from his forehead. His voice was filled with joy and excitement. However, Old Master Gu didn't seem too thrilled to hear the news!

"Hmph." Old Master Gu Yushan snorted through his nose, his mustache twitching in a rather rhythmic manner. His previously cheerful expression immediately shifted. At first, he looked quite excited and elated upon hearing the news, but then he quickly forced his face into a brooding frown.

Gu Shengnian and his wife Qi Xiuyan exchanged amused glances as they observed the childish antics of the old man. They couldn't help but smile knowingly and shake their heads as they anticipated the impending battle of wits between their eldest son and his beloved grandfather.

At that moment, Gu Jingchen strode into the villa's grand hall, his long legs leading the way.

The man was dressed in a crisp white shirt paired with impeccably tailored trousers. The ensemble perfectly highlighted Gu Jingchen's striking and upright demeanor. His well-defined arms were revealed by precisely rolled-up shirt sleeves, radiating a sense of energy and cleanliness. His thick, straight eyebrows and chiselled facial features, illuminated by the slanting rays of the setting sun, gave him an almost sculptural, breathtakingly handsome appearance that could leave one silently awestruck.

"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I'm back! Grandpa, I missed you so much!" Without fail, Gu Jingchen always knew exactly what kind of situation awaited him when he returned home. Flashing a charming smile, he directed his words sweetly at Old Master Gu Yushan. His shining dark eyes locked onto his grandfather, effectively disarming him with the classic wisdom of "no one strikes a smiling face." This cunning grandson clearly understood his grandfather's preferences!

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the ever-composed Gu Jingchen found himself feeling slightly awkward, his face flushing faintly as he pressed his thin lips together in discomfort.

"Jingchen, you're back!" Gu Shengnian and Qi Xiuyan couldn't help but beam as they greeted their impeccable son warmly.

"Yes, Dad, Mom, I've taken a month off." Striding to the sofa, Gu Jingchen sat down gracefully. The sharp contours of his striking face softened with tenderness as he gazed at his family.

"Hmph!" Old Master Gu immediately felt neglected and let out a discontented snort, his mustache twitching once more to express his displeasure. It was clear he wanted to reclaim his grandson's attention.

Qi Xiuyan, noticing the old man's reaction, quickly signaled her son with a meaningful glance.

"Grandpa!" Gu Jingchen's almond-shaped eyes glimmered with understanding as he gave a slight nod. Rising to his full height, he approached his grandfather's seat with an upright posture.

"Grandpa, do you know? At the unit where you used to serve, I've made remarkable achievements recently. During one of our flight drills, we encountered an ambush by a War God unit, but we expertly utilized..."

Gu Jingchen began recounting the details of his recent flight exercise with animated enthusiasm, tactfully sharing the kind of narratives he knew his treasured grandfather couldn't resist.

"I'm an old man now. There's only one thing I care about: getting a grandson's wife and holding my great-grandchild someday. Otherwise, I dream about it every night! My health isn't great these days; I barely eat, and in my dreams, I always see your grandma. If you really want to make me happy, find me a granddaughter-in-law! That's all I ask. I don't care about your achievements. I, too, made a name for myself back in the day. To this day, I doubt anyone has surpassed me. But now, all I care about is when I'll see my future granddaughter-in-law..."

Feigning despair, Old Master Gu dramatically lamented his plight, though not without first slipping in a self-congratulatory nod to his past glories. Closing his eyes as he continued his relentless emotional plea, he peeked sneakily through one eye at his grandson's expression before quickly shutting it again and continuing his monologue.

Yet, this subtle peek did not escape Gu Jingchen's sharp gaze. The young man chuckled softly, his amusement evident.

"You returned to Yun City yesterday but didn't come home. I was overjoyed, thinking you were spending time with some girl. If I could see my granddaughter-in-law before I die, I'd finally have some peace and even face your grandma with pride! But today, Grandpa Xie came over, and I learned the truth. You brat were hanging out at that Lai Le Bar with the two boys from the Xie Family all day yesterday! I am utterly disappointed. I've lost my appetite entirely today..."

At this point, Old Master Gu nearly wanted to beat his chest in frustration. In his mind, those two Xie boys opening a bar like Lai Le Bar was an absurd endeavor. If it were up to him, his grandson would simply demolish the place. That would make it far easier to oversee missions like marriage and child-rearing!

"Sigh, my health deteriorates by the day..." Seeing that his precious eldest grandson remained unfazed, Old Master Gu continued his guilt-inducing performance.

"Grandpa, I called Uncle Liu yesterday at noon. He mentioned you had an entire bowl of Mao-style braised pork, a bowl of rice, and not just that—it wasn't enough for you! You made him get you a pack of Oreos. And of course, that wasn't the end—later that night, you even claimed you were hungry and went to Lao Si's room looking for snacks. Plus, I checked your health report from Lao San—every single health metric could match someone in their twenties, Grandpa."

Gu Jingchen, still wearing his effortlessly charming smile, leaned closer to his grandfather, placing his elegantly jointed hands on either side of the old man's armchair. His words, though spoken as gently as jade, were unerringly pointed and served as a gentle but resounding rebuttal.

"That blabbermouth butler! And Lao San, insisting on studying medicine and becoming some top-tier doctor—what a disaster for his poor grandfather!"

Seeing that his melodramatic act could go no further, Old Master Gu's complexion turned ashen, and he clenched his teeth in frustration.
