The old man was wearing a black sweater and his hands behind his back. He was standing on the steps, his chest puffed out as he watched Su Yue.
Su Yue sized him up in confusion. She found him slightly familiar, but she definitely hadn’t seen the man before.
“I’m Ming Ansheng’s grandfather.”
Ming Zhongsheng introduced himself, knowing that she was trying to figure out his ident.i.ty.
He tilted his chin up slightly, looking at her with a condescending gaze.
It gave off neither close nor distant feel.
Shock flashed across her face. Uncle Ming’s grandfather…?
Goodness, Uncle Ming’s grandfather came to find her. She opened her mouth in shock, at a loss.
She bowed her head and remained silent.
Ming Zhongsheng sized her up before plainly saying, “I came to talk to you about your relations.h.i.+p with Ming Ansheng.”
“Grandfather, I like Uncle Ming very much, and he likes me too.” Su Yue didn’t know where her sudden surge of bravery came from, but she lifted her head to talk to him.
When she saw his grave expression, she trembled and hurriedly bowed her head, her voice lowering in volume as she added, “Can you not object to our relations.h.i.+p?”
Although she had never seen him before, he was her greatest consideration.
She had been thinking of how to earn the approval of the old man.
So that he would agree to their relations.h.i.+p.
“Little la.s.s, do you understand Ming Ansheng?” Ming Zhongsheng asked.
He then walked down the steps slowly.
Su Yue turned around and followed after him. She nodded gently and replied with an ‘mm’.
Ming Zhongsheng turned to look at her with a mocking smile. “How well do you understand him?”
Her heart was written on her sleeves, and one could see right through her with just a glance. If put nicely, she was innocent and pure; but to be blunt, she was foolish.
How could she be good enough for Ming Ansheng? How was she fit to be the future mistress of the Ming family?
How well did she know him? Su Yue bowed her head and remained silent. She didn’t know how well she understood him. But she knew that she definitely didn’t know him well enough.
But this didn’t affect their relations.h.i.+p. Weren’t they very happy now?
She would understand him better in the time to come.
Seeing that Su Yue remained silent, Ming Zhongsheng continued, “Do you know his past?”
Su Yue knew that he was trying to broach a topic. And no matter what he said, it was definitely an attempt to break them apart.
Her head remained hung low and she didn’t say a word.
Then Ming Zhongsheng continued, “Perhaps your third brother and third sister-in-law told you some stuff about him. But do you really know him well enough? There is an age gap of eight years between the two of you. He entered society when he was of a young age. Age isn’t the only generation gap between both of you.”
His words became sharper. “He is carrying a heavy burden and workload. How much can you help him?”
She looked at him and said with determination, “I will. I can learn. I will grow up too.”
Her eyes glimmered with determination.
She would be as smart as her third sister-in-law for sure, by then she could share Uncle Ming’s workload.
She could learn anything, just like cooking.
Ming Zhongsheng saw the innocence in her eyes and flashed a mocking smile.
Suddenly, he lifted his head and sighed. “Out of all the girls he had, Meiduo was still the best person for him.”
Su Yue froze. “Wh-what?”
