Chapter 251: Chapter 249: Grandpa, Your Calligraphy!

With Liu Gaoyuan’s words, it was really settled that Jiang Yuan and Liu Jitong would temporarily stay with the Liu Family.

Even if Liu Jitong was a bit apprehensive, he didn’t dare to say no.

After all, having a stable and comfortable place for his wife to stay was also one less worry for him.

It was his first time in Jing City, unfamiliar with everything.

Originally, he planned to ask He Chen to help find a place to stay when the girls went out to play, but now it seems the problem was solved directly.

Although it seems Liu Gaoyuan really likes his wife,

he doesn’t seem to like him much.

Several times, Liu Jitong wanted to talk to Liu Gaoyuan but stopped himself, not knowing how to start or what to say.

Jiang Yuan was pregnant, and he had already quit smoking, without even a pack of cigarettes in his pocket, unable to strike up a conversation like he used to by offering a cigarette.

Of course Liu Gaoyuan could see through this young guy’s thoughts, but he wasn’t interested.

After all, this kid wasn’t his granddaughter’s husband and didn’t seem as sincere as He Chen, he was also a bit too skinny, so he was only somewhat satisfied.

Not really impressive.

Over the years, many young people wanted to build a good relationship with this old man, but so many were more outstanding than this guy and he didn’t plan on mentoring any juniors, leaving all that to Liu Yanghua.

Besides He Chen, he wasn’t interested in anyone else.

The back row was chattering away, while the front was quiet as a mouse, finally, after a dozen minutes, the car stopped steadily at the villa entrance.

Even before getting out of the car, Jiang Yuan exclaimed.

"Wow! Manman, your grandpa’s house is so beautiful! Is this a Western-style house? We don’t have such a pretty big house in our town!"

She got out of the car excitedly, eyes sparkling, and looked at Liu Gaoyuan with a face full of admiration.

"Grandpa, your home is so beautiful! Thank you for letting us stay here for a few days, I’ll be sure not to cause any trouble!"

Jiang Yuan spoke her mind directly.

Many people, even if they saw wealth in someone else’s home, for fear of seeming like social climbers, wouldn’t easily voice their amazement.

But precisely because there are so many fake people around, girls like Jiang Yuan, who are quick to speak their minds, are more endearing.

Liu Gaoyuan inexplicably felt that Liu Jitong wasn’t worthy of this adorably silly girl.

He gave Liu Jitong an unpleasant glance but then smiled and invited them inside.

"Silly girl, you’ve come all the way to Jing City, enjoy yourself, at grandpa’s house you can relax and have fun, Manman is my granddaughter, so you two are also half my granddaughters, make yourselves at home."

"Come, let’s go inside, Liu, you go grab the luggage, I’ll show you to the guest room, tonight you and Jiang can sleep there, Manman and Cheng will sleep in her mother’s old room."

He directly arranged everything, first letting Ye Manman lead Cheng Yuan and Jiang Yuan inside.

Liu Jitong quickly went to the back of the car, grabbed the luggage, and followed them inside.

"Wow... this house is even prettier inside! Is this a sofa?"

Jiang Yuan sat on the sofa with Ye Manman, pressing down on the soft leather with surprise.

"Wow, so soft, this is even more comfortable than my bed, you could sleep on this!"

Cheng Yuan was equally amazed, her face couldn’t hide her astonishment and curiosity, but she wasn’t as talkative as Jiang Yuan, silently pressing the soft leather sofa with her hand.

Ye Manman knew both Jiang Yuan and Cheng Yuan would love it here, and handed each of them an orange while peeling one herself, leading them upstairs.

"There’s an even more comfortable bed for sleeping, come on, let’s see the room you’ll stay in tonight."

"Yay!"

Jiang Yuan immediately got up excitedly, holding hands with Cheng Yuan, skipping up to the second floor behind her.

There were four rooms on the second floor.

Two belonged to uncle’s children, one was a guest room, another was a study.

At the end of the hallway was a restroom, and each floor had a bathroom at the hallway’s end.

The guest room was already tidied up, very clean and neat.

After bringing Liu Jitong in, Liu Gaoyuan stepped out just as Ye Manman brought them over.

"Grandpa, thank you for today~"

Jiang Yuan was particularly happy to see the kind and friendly Liu Gaoyuan, her words were sweet.

"Thank you, grandpa~"

Cheng Yuan, who also liked him, followed with "Thank you, grandpa".

Ye Manman echoed happily with "Thank you, grandpa".

This delighted Liu Gaoyuan, who quickly told them to catch up and not to waste time thanking an old man like him.

Then he quietly went downstairs, instructing the housemaid to prepare snacks and fruits.

After Ye Manman and the others entered the guest room, they quickly engaged in conversation, while Liu Jitong quietly unpacked beside them, not finding a chance to join in.

He just reminded them once not to roll around too much on the bed as they were both pregnant, and got kicked out.

Facing the closed door, Liu Jitong felt extremely awkward.

He had nowhere to go and couldn’t hide in the restroom, so he had no choice but to go downstairs.

However, passing by the study, he suddenly saw Liu Gaoyuan standing inside practicing calligraphy.

Liu Gaoyuan also noticed him.

"Liu? Come see how this old man writes?"

He didn’t expect a small-town kid to understand calligraphy, but the guest room door had been open, and he had been listening to the chatter next door, knowing the kid got thrown out with nowhere to go.

Whether he understood or not, it was an olive branch.

Previously, it seemed this kid was quite afraid of him, only greeting him at the start, after that always at a loss for words, not daring to speak unless spoken to.

If he got too bored at Liu’s and wanted to go home, taking Jiang with him early, and Ye Manman would have to return to her room, then he’d be at a loss.

He had been waiting for such an opportunity.

A house full of kids and grandkids bustling around, what a delight that would be, he dreamed of Ye Manman coming to the Liu Family to nurse her baby, then bringing the little one to run and play at home.

In old age, he longed to see those lively scenes.

Liu Jitong was still a bit intimidated by the old man, but since Liu Gaoyuan invited him in, he had no choice but to take a look. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

It was fortunate he did, as once he looked, Liu Jitong was captivated by Liu Gaoyuan’s free and bold calligraphy.

He had originally thought Liu Gaoyuan just wrote for fun, but he turned out to be a master calligrapher!

"Grandpa, your writing!"

Unconsciously, he stepped closer to better view the characters.

And Liu Gaoyuan was caught off guard by the slip-of-the-tongue calling him grandpa.

"My writing, what’s wrong?"
