Chapter 285: Preconceived notions, recognized the wrong person

"Tingchen, why are you here? Is your grandfather's funeral over?"

Elder Lu looked after the little ones while asking casually.

Actually, he was quite satisfied with the other party before, whether it was family background, future, or personal ability, he was relatively outstanding in this generation.

Plus, selfishly, he had thought about cultivating the other party as a grandson-in-law.

It's a pity, heaven plays tricks on people, and he was snatched away by Lu Manman and her daughter!

Since his eyes weren't good and he was easily snatched, then forget it, kick him out of the grandson-in-law list.

Later, his granddaughter came to the Sea Island and quickly took a fancy to his current grandson-in-law. Apart from family background, everything else was outstanding!

Division Commander Duan acted as a matchmaker, saying that he treated Jiang Ye as his own child and would lift Jiang Ye up with his connections and resources in the future, so he had no worries left!

People, just can't compare; once compared, he wanted to wake up laughing in his sleep.

Lu Manman and her daughter liked to snatch junk, so let them snatch it!

Anyway, God would leave the best for his granddaughter!

It's just that, now that the two families had no relationship, why did the other party come to the Sea Island?

"Grandpa Lu, when I was tidying up my grandfather's relics, I found the jade pendant that I was engaged to Manman sister when I was young."

After Gu Tingchen entered the courtyard, he sized up the circle without a trace.

The first impression was dilapidated, small, backward, and shabby.

Assigned to such a small house, it seems that the military officer Shen Man married doesn't have a high rank.

When Elder Lu asked with a sharp momentum, his waist was still straight.

Even with a trace of arrogance, it was completely different from the previous caution and catering.

After stating his purpose, he took out a white jade pendant from his handbag.

Held it with both hands, respectfully handed it to the other party.

This standing position, with Elder Lu's sitting posture, formed a game of visual and momentum.

Not to mention what Elder Lu thought, even Elder Pei, who was watching the fun, couldn't help but look a few more times.

Good heavens, this young man actually confronted Old Lu.

Needle against wheat, tsk tsk.

However, he wasn't worried about Old Lu at all.

Who is Old Lu? He was unruly in his youth, scolded those generals, fought, and arm-wrestled!

If it comes to being fierce, not afraid of heaven or earth, is there anyone else second to Old Lu?

"Meow."

Just when the swords were drawn, a figure flew and snatched the jade pendant from Gu Tingchen's palm!

By the way, scratched a claw on the other's wrist!

Revenge for Grandfather!

This man with green gas on his head is so annoying, and he wants to bully Grandfather. Watch it take revenge for Grandfather!

"Hiss!"

Gu Tingchen didn't expect that he would be attacked, and when he looked closely, it was a mixed-colored cat!

Instantly, his fierce eyes glared at the cat. If it weren't for other people on the scene, he would have kicked it away long ago!

It was just a beast; it didn't matter if it was killed...

Seeing the green-gas man glaring at it with murderous intent, Tangyuan didn't harden it, but pretended to be afraid, jumped directly into Grandfather's arms, and curled up into a ball, shivering.

"Meow."

Grandfather, cat is afraid, someone wants to kill meow!

Afraid Grandfather wouldn't understand, it also specially looked at Grandfather with tearful eyes, then looked at the green-gas man, and then rubbed its head on Grandfather's chin, seeking protection!

Tangyuan's set of actions was flowing; not only were the people on the scene stunned, but the little ones were also stunned.

Wang Amei originally had a trace of good impression of this handsome man, but seeing the fierceness and murderous intent in the other's eyes, her back felt cold, and she instinctively stepped back, picked up her little cousin, and stayed away from this dangerous man.

"Tingchen, is the wound deep? Don't count it against Tangyuan. Tangyuan is a cat that has won a third-class merit."

"It's a bit playful, usually very well-behaved, the children all like it, and I've never seen it actively attack others."

The implication was, you are an adult, don't count it against a meritorious cat.

Meritorious cat?

Gu Tingchen frowned, didn't take it seriously, thinking how could a cat win merit?

It must be Elder Lu protecting the cat he raised, so he made up a lie to deceive him!

Unhappy in his heart, but on the surface, he reluctantly pulled his lips, pretending to be generous:

"It's okay, I'll wash it with soap."

Elder Lu touched Tangyuan's head and said lightly:

"Amei, trouble you to take the guest to the well to wash his hands."

"Good, Grandpa Lu."

Wang Amei heard the words and smiled brightly, kissed her little cousin's cheek,

"Please."

Grandpa Lu said the other party was a guest, yet called her by her name, which meant Grandpa Lu considered her one of his own.

It seems this guest is not well-liked.

No matter how handsome someone is, if Grandpa Lu doesn't like them, she doesn't like them either!

And then there's Tangyuan. Tangyuan is very well-behaved. Yesterday, when she was eating here and playing with the children, she saw with her own eyes how well Tangyuan treated the little ones, helping the adults look after them—it's a good cat.

For Tangyuan to be so stressed, it must be this guest's fault!

Gu Tingchen is very good at reading people, so he could naturally sense that everyone present disliked him.

However, is Shen Man's nickname really Amei?

Why does she show no curiosity or regret upon seeing someone as outstanding as him?

Where did it go wrong?

Children of the poor take charge early; Wang Amei has a sharp eye.

Regardless, a guest has come to Grandpa Lu's house, and no matter their status or the purpose of their visit, it is not something for an outsider like her to listen to, so she took the opportunity to take her leave.

"Grandpa Lu, it's getting late, I need to go home to cook. I'll bring Si Si over to play another day."

"Ah, alright. Next time bring Weiguo and Weijia along too. The brothers want to watch TV, so come watch together, don't be shy."

Old Master Lu stroked his beard; he just liked juniors who were this perceptive.

Not bad, not bad. Such a good girl should be matched with a promising young man; it's a pity he has no nephews or sons to entrust her to.

Only at this moment did Gu Tingchen realize that he had made a preconceived judgment and identified the wrong person.

This girl is not Shen Man!

Then, what does Shen Man actually look like?

He had originally intended to drop off the items, exchange a few simple pleasantries about his current rank, and leave.

Now, he is in no rush to leave!

"Tingchen, when is the train ticket you bought back to the Capital?"

Old Master Lu tried to send him away without making a scene; in any case, he would not let the man stay at his house.

There are no extra rooms in the house. Sleep on the floor?

No, if word got out, it would damage his granddaughter's reputation!

If her husband came home and heard gossip, how bad would that be?

Gu Tingchen understood the subtext, but he didn't show it on his face and pretended, saying:

"The ticket is for tomorrow afternoon; there were no tickets for today's train."

"Oh, I see. Then have a meal at home at noon, and I'll send you to the guesthouse in the afternoon to get a room."

Old Master Lu was out of options; he wouldn't go so far as to tear off the mask, so he could only express his dislike indirectly.

"Alright, thank you for the trouble, Grandpa Lu."

Gu Tingchen agreed readily, thinking to himself: if they don't welcome him, then he will insist on staying to see what medicine Old Master Lu is selling in his gourd...
