She thought, since the old man wanted to visit Zhou Shuang to talk about his great-grandchildren, it wouldn’t be appropriate if she involved herself .
Old Master Lu’s car was a black Audi . It was still early in the morning, so they had wound down the car windows and the air-conditioner wasn’t turned on .
Xuxu and old Master Lu sat at the back passenger seat . They happily chatted away .
Zhou Shuang stayed at a small high-class district near the Eastern Third Ring Road .
As it was inconvenient for any unfamiliar cars to enter the district, Xuxu informed the driver to stop the car by the roadside . She walked the old master to Zhou Shuang’s doorstep .
After pressing the doorbell, the old master looked down and adjusted his clothes .
When Xuxu saw this and the corners of her mouth twitched . It appeared the old man was attending a match-making session . One could tell how much he valued Zhou Shuang .
Indeed, the mother’s honor increases as her son’s position rises .
“Coming, coming . ” Zhou Shuang’s thunderous voice could be heard coming from her house .
When Old Master Lu heard her voice, he became even more spirited . He turned and showed Xuxu a thumbs up . “This lady is full of vigor and life . She must be a warm person . ”
Xuxu was speechless .
He had already given her such a good evaluation even before he met her .
The power of the child—it must be the power of the child!
The door opened and Zhou Shuang appeared before Xuxu and Old Master Lu in her white loungewear . Her eyes swept across Xuxu before her gaze landed on Old Master Lu .
She was dumbstruck for a moment . “He—He is—”
“He is . ”
Xuxu was about to open her mouth to introduce Zhou Shuang to Old Master Lu when he interrupted her . He looked at Zhou Shuang with a benign expression and introduced himself, “You must be Zhou Shuang . I’m Lu Yinan’s grandfather, Lu Zhenjiang . Pardon me for my sudden visit . Hope you’ll be magnanimous enough to forgive me . ”
Xuxu’s mouth uncontrollably twitched .
It was now she realized that the old man was even more adorable than a child .
In her memories, Grandfather Lu was always in a military uniform . He was upright and plainspoken and from his behavior, one could tell that he was a carefree and unrefined man .
This was the first time she had seen him so polite .
And it was all for the sake of coming to meet his prospective granddaughter-in-law . He must have put in great efforts .
Zhou Shuang’s expression stiffened and it dumbfounded her for quite a while . She gave old Master Lu a vague grin before frowning at Xuxu with a confused look in her eyes .
Xuxu pursed her lips, showing her innocence .
She had tried calling you but your phone was dead, okay?
Furthermore, when she heard the doorbell, she opened her door immediately without even asking . So how could she blame her?
Xuxu ignored Zhou Shuang and supported Old Master Lu with her arms . “Grandfather, go in and have a seat . ”
Zhou Shuang finally reacted and swiftly took out a pair of slippers from the shoe cabinet for the old man .
Although she hated Lu Yinan, she still knew the basic courtesy when an old folk came to visit .
It was only Lu Yinan that she loathed .
Zhou Shuang’s apartment wasn’t big . She had specially bought a one-room apartment for she had a fear of cleaning the house .
The old master stepped in and surveyed Zhou Shuang’s living room . A satisfied smile broke out on his face .
It also shocked Xuxu that this woman’s house was spick and span today .
She recalled the previous time she came; her house was like a pigsty .
Xuxu was wondering as she helped Old Master Lu to the sofa to sit down . “Grandfather Lu, sit here . ”
Zhou Shuang brought two glasses of water and placed them on the coffee table before looking at Old Master Lu and said, “I’m sorry, grandfather . I don’t drink tea hence, there are no tea leaves in my house . ”
When Zhou Shuang addressed him as ‘grandfather’, it caused him to burst with joy and he waved his hand . “It’s alright . ”
He patted the space next to him and said to Zhou Shuang, “Sit down, too . ”
Zhou Shuang felt awkward as she wasn’t sure why the old master was looking for her .
