Chapter 250: Chapter 248: In Grandpa’s House, Grandpa Has the Final Say

Her voice caught Liu Gaoyuan’s attention.

Liu Gaoyuan wasn’t originally interested in the chatter of the two little girls, as he reclined against the chair, eyes shut in rest.

Upon hearing Cheng Yuan mention He Chen, he too curiously looked over.

The three tacitly remained silent, quietly sitting in the car, watching He Chen smilingly maneuvering between the other two in the distance.

The middle-aged man seemed hell-bent on pairing the young girl with him, persistently saying something.

The young girl looked at He Chen bashfully beside him, following closely.

Just as the three were about to enter the station, He Chen stopped his steps.

The distance was far, the sky dark, making it unable to see the exact expressions on their faces.

But it was clear that a disagreement had occurred among them.

No one knew what He Chen said, but suddenly, the middle-aged man, embarrassed and angry, pushed the young girl forcefully into his embrace.

He Chen, flustered, steadied the girl’s shoulder, then quickly retreated a step back, widening the distance.

The young girl began to cry.

She stomped her foot, angrily raised her head to say a few words to He Chen, then ran crying into the station.

The middle-aged man, displeased as well, pointed at He Chen and said something, chasing after the young girl into the station.

He Chen stood there, paused for a few seconds, then turned and left in the opposite direction of the station.

Though Ye Manman couldn’t see his facial expression, she somehow guessed his face was dark, possibly with a suppressed anger.

Watching him walk away, away from the station, until not a trace could be seen, the car remained awfully quiet.

No one spoke a word.

Cheng Yuan felt a little awkward, as if they had accidentally witnessed something they weren’t supposed to, cautiously turning her head to glance at Ye Manman.

Liu Gaoyuan frowned, pondering something, not uttering a word.

On the other hand, Ye Manman didn’t think much of it, sharp-eyedly spotting two familiar figures emerging from the station.

She pointed excitedly at the station exit.

"Jiang Yuan and the others have arrived!"

With those words, Cheng Yuan immediately perked up.

She hurriedly, together with Ye Manman, opened the car door, waving excitedly toward Jiang Yuan while walking.

Although neither of them made a sound, the two figures outside the station, backed by a flashy red flag car, were truly conspicuous.

Jiang Yuan immediately spotted them.

"Manman!"

Her face lit up with joy, instinctively wanting to run towards them like before, but Liu Jitong, carrying large bags beside her, quickly called out.

"Don’t run! Walk slowly!"

"We’re already here, no rush for this moment."

Upon hearing his shout, Jiang Yuan quickly realized she was no longer the little girl she used to be, and hastily stopped, beginning to walk towards them, hands supporting her waist.

Ye Manman didn’t run either, walking steadily.

The three finally met after a while.

A small hug, they each almost couldn’t hold back their tears.

Each has teary eyes, tears brimming at the edges.

Liu Gaoyuan also stepped out of the car.

He sported an artsy white beard, exuding a genteel aura, wearing clothes that clearly cost a fortune, and driving a small car.

Added to this, seeing Ye Manman and the others coming out from the car, he immediately figured out this elderly man was probably Ye Manman’s grandfather mentioned in her letters.

He, carrying luggage inconveniently, politely and respectfully nodded towards Liu Gaoyuan, and greeted first.

"You must be Ye Manman’s grandfather, thank you for specially driving over to pick us up today."

Actually, in the small town, Liu Jitong had encountered quite a few "wealthy and powerful" figures, but only today he realized those he previously thought were big names were all child’s play.

Those people had the facade of nouveau riche, lacking genuine substance.

Unlike Ye Manman’s grandfather.

Though his countenance seemed amiable and friendly when approaching, appearing just like a nice old man, there was a lively spirit in his aging eyes.

Inadvertently being swept over by his sharp gaze, it stirred a bit of chill down the spine.

Liu Gaoyuan briefly sized up Liu Jitong.

Feeling somewhat satisfied.

Though this boy wasn’t as honest as He Chen, he seemed decent enough.

He stroked his beard, smiling broadly.

"No trouble at all, you all coming such a long way is what’s difficult, here, put the luggage on the car."

He beckoned Liu Jitong to load the luggage, while the three girls wiped their tears, joyfully taking their seats in the car.

Naturally, the three sat together, all in the back row.

Whereas Liu Jitong was ushered to the front.

Who would have thought Ye Manman’s grandfather was so wealthy, able to maintain such a fine car, Jiang Yuan and Liu Jitong had never been inside.

Compared to the somewhat uneasy Liu Jitong sitting silently in the front, Jiang Yuan in the backseat was beyond ecstatic.

She looked everywhere, touched all over, almost losing coherence in excitement.

"Manman, your grandfather’s family is so wealthy, this car is really comfortable, I love riding it! It’s fast and steady, your grandfather drives amazing!"

"I thought we would take a public bus together, Ji said many people in the big city travel by bus, much faster than bicycles."

"I never expected we wouldn’t need to take the public bus, directly getting on a car, the car is so fast, is the public bus this fast?"

She sat between Cheng Yuan and Ye Manman, as soon as the car started, she began chattering incessantly, especially when mentioning things Liu Jitong said, his ears burned with embarrassment.

Ye Manman chuckled secretly, "The public bus makes many stops, stopping when people need to get off, so it’s not as fast as a car, we’ll be home soon."

She had already discussed with Liu Gaoyuan, who was uneasy about several girls staying at an outside inn, while Ye Manman lacked extra room and bed, so Liu Gaoyuan suggested they stay at the Liu Family overnight.

There were two spare rooms in the Liu Family.

One guest room, and Liu Rulan’s old room, still regularly cleaned.

He wanted Ye Manman to sleep at the Liu Family, hoping she’d stay in Liu Rulan’s room, getting used to it to eventually invite her to stay at Liu Family to rest, thus warmly inviting Liu Jitong and Jiang Yuan to stay too.

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Wouldn’t it be inappropriate, Grandpa, wouldn’t we bother your family?"

Unsure how to address Ye Manman’s grandfather, but Liu Gaoyuan seemed approachable and friendly, she instinctively called him Grandpa.

Upon hearing this, Liu Gaoyuan’s beard curled up in amusement.

Why not gain an endearingly silly granddaughter?

"Rest assured, Grandpa rules the house, no one dares say otherwise."

"Besides, you’re Manman’s good friends, it’s rare visiting Jing City, don’t stay in outside inns, so unclean and unsafe, stay at Grandpa’s home as long as you want, enjoy your time."
