Biting the red lips

Chapter 39 Everyone can say polite words

The butler led them to a screen, where two servants were waiting.

Gu Huaichen came to the servant on the left, opened his arms slightly, and allowed the other person to inspect him.

At the same time, he motioned with his eyes to Sheng Wan to go to the servant on the right.

Sheng Wan was deeply surprised and dumbfounded.

She never imagined that Gu Huaichen, the powerful leader of the Gu Group, would be searched when he visited Mr. Luo!
The key is that he seems to be used to it and accepts it well.

Doesn't Gu Huaichen feel humiliated?

Even if Sheng Wan tried hard, she couldn't understand his brain circuit.

But people have to bow their heads under the eaves.

Sheng Wan looked at the maid on the right. Even though she felt very uncomfortable, she still followed Gu Huaichen's example and opened her arms, waiting for the other party to check her.

After the search was completed, the butler stepped forward and opened the door curtain, bowed and invited the two people in.

Sheng Wan followed Gu Huaichen and formally entered the study.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Mr. Luo changing the water in the carp tank with white background and blue and white background.

The servant next to him wanted to help, but the old man sternly refused and insisted on doing it himself.

When Gu Huaichen saw it, he immediately went to help.

Seeing that it was him, Mr. Luo did not refuse and handed over the water ladle.

Mr. Luo was wearing a white Tang suit with dark patterns, leaning on a dragon-headed staff and smiling kindly.
"Xiao Chen, you're here. I knew you were coming today, and I've been looking forward to it."

Gu Huaichen looked at him with disapproval: "Old man, just let the servants below do these things. You are older now, so you should pay more attention to your health."

Mr. Luo found a place to sit down, stroked his white beard, and watched him working with a smile.

"I know you care about me, but my old bones are used to working so hard that I feel uncomfortable when I rest."

"But don't worry, I only do some small and effortless things, and there's nothing else I can do about it. This man is getting old, and it's hard to accept old age."

Mr. Luo sighed as he spoke.

"You are going strong and your days are still long."

Gu Huaichen changed the water in the carp tank in a few moments, then took the snack box with fish food and handed it to Mr. Luo, "Stop saying such depressing words, your old friends are still hungry."

After hearing this, Mr. Luo's expression softened a lot, and he immediately happily took the food box and started feeding the fish.

At the same time, he did not forget to chat with Gu Huaichen: "I'm not saying this to be discouraged. I don't know why I can't control my strength in my right hand recently. I often catch a lot of fish food in one catch, but I, an old man like me, can't Dude is exhausted."

Gu Huaichen frowned: "Did you ask the doctor to come over and take a look?"

Mr. Luo waved his hand: "I have looked at experts in this field for a long time. They all said that I am old and my hands and feet are not sensitive anymore."

Sheng Wan remained silent and stood aside as a backdrop.

But his eyes kept wandering between Gu Huaichen and Mr. Luo.

The interaction between the two of them was very natural, and they looked like ordinary grandparents.

Sheng Wan originally thought that Gu Huaichen only showed respect to Mr. Luo, just like she did to Mr. Fu.

But watching them interact, Sheng Wan keenly saw the difference between Gu Huaichen and Mr. Luo.

His respect for Mr. Luo was spontaneous.

He will be worried about Mr. Luo's health, and like ordinary descendants, he will talk about the troublesome Mr. Luo.

He can also say all kinds of nice things to comfort the frustrated Mr. Luo.

All the above signs indicate that Mr. Luo plays an important role in Gu Huaichen's heart.Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Gu Huaichen was acting deliberately.

But will acting be so natural?
Sheng Wan rolled her eyes and decided to test Gu Huaichen.

"It is said that 'if you keep walnuts in hand, you can live for 99 years.' I might as well try walnuts for health. Pick two old walnuts that you like and have a plate of them. Over time, it will not only promote the circulation of qi and blood in the meridians, but also Improves finger flexibility and coordination.”

Sheng Wan took the initiative to speak, instantly attracting the attention of the other two people in the study.

"This is... Wanwan, right?"

Mr. Luo seemed to have just noticed Sheng Wan now. He looked her up and down with obvious scrutiny in his eyes.

When I saw that she was dressed dignifiedly and decently, and that even though her family was in decline, she still retained the appearance of a lady, her attitude softened a bit.

"I haven't seen her in so many years. She really has changed into a woman. She is becoming more and more beautiful."

Sheng Wan pretended to be shy and lowered her head: "Master, that's a great compliment. I don't deserve your praise."

Seeing that she was well-controlled and elegant, Gu Huaichen nodded secretly. This woman was not too stupid and she didn't say anything out of the ordinary in front of the old man.

But all his attention was on what she just said.

"Old man, what Wanwan just said makes sense. There happens to be an underground auction here in Hong Kong City in the near future. I remember that there is a pair of Wenwan walnuts in the list. I will take a photo of it and send it to you."

Mr. Luo was obviously very grateful for his filial piety. He smiled heartily and was filled with emotion at the same time.

"I have many children and grandchildren, but when it comes to filial piety, no one can compare to Xiao Chen."

Sheng Wan took advantage of his words and said, "Huai Chen should be filial to you. You raise him when he is young, and he raises you when you are old. That's how it should be."

Moreover, she has also tried to find out whether Gu Huaichen is sincere or fake towards Mr. Luo.

"You little baby, you are still so articulate."

Mr. Luo smiled and stroked his long beard: "You were smart when you were a child. At that time, your father often showed off that he had a precious daughter."

As if he had thought of something, his tone was quite emotional: "It's a pity that it's not a holiday, your father... It's such a pity. After your father's accident, I originally planned to adopt you together, but something happened to the Luo family at that time , it is difficult to protect oneself.

"And because I insist on adopting Xiaochen, my family has been quarreling with me, and I really can't spare the time to adopt another child. So... son, I hope you don't blame me."

Sheng Wan nodded and understood what he said: "It's very rare for you to have such a heart. I can only be grateful, how dare I feel resentful."

Although it was just a polite word, Sheng Wan did think so in her heart.

In this world, no one owes anyone anything, and nothing is taken for granted.

When you encounter difficulties, if your friends take the initiative to help, that is a moral act.

If you don't help, there's nothing wrong with it.

After all, living in this world, everyone has to be responsible for their own life.

If others don’t owe you anything, why should they pay for your life?

Even though it was obvious that Mr. Luo meant something, the expression on Sheng Wan's face did not change at all.

Gu Huaichen glanced at her in surprise. He probably didn't expect that there was such a hidden past between the two of them.

If Sheng Wan had been adopted by Mr. Luo, then he and Sheng Wan... would have grown up like childhood sweethearts.

Just like him and Sister Luo Xin.

No, maybe he and Sheng Wan will be closer.

After all, Luo Xin was older, and Sheng Wan was about the same age as him.
