Xu Qiluo was speechless. "But he just doesn't seem more mature and composed than the two of us."

"..."

When the word "mature and steady" came out of Xu Qiluo's mouth, Xu Shuli still found it hard to accept.

"Alright, alright, let's go home. Are you two going to start fighting the moment you see each other? I can't stop you two at all."

Even someone as composed as Xu Shuli often felt helpless when facing her eldest son and Luo Yunqi. "The two of you are almost 40 years old combined, how come you still act like children?"

"Sis...why aren't you showing me any favoritism anymore?"

“Now that your sister has me, she will naturally help me.”

"..."

"..."

The two started bickering childishly again, which Gu Baisheng, Chen Li, and Xu Shuli found unbearable to watch. The three of them exchanged a glance and walked out.

"Yaoyao, you've worked hard. You'll have to take care of two big kids from now on."

"Tell me what you want in the future? I'll give it to you as compensation for taking care of the child."

"..."

Although they complained, seeing the two of them bickering like before, at least the previous estrangement and tense atmosphere were gone.

"Yaoyao".

"elder sister…"

Seeing Xu Shuli and the other two walk out, Luo Yunqi quickly followed.

"Hey, sis, wait for me..."

Their little team has finally reunited.

……

……

With Luo Yunqi and Xu Shuli's relationship reconciled once again, the two great families, Xu and Luo, resumed their normal interactions.

Or perhaps the Luo family had always wanted to visit and ease the tension between the two families, but they refused to see Xu Xiong because he was still angry. Otherwise, the old man would probably be holding his great-grandson by now.

The Luo family's old residence is built halfway up the mountain, covering a very large area. The old residence of the Luo family has been there for generations, with 48 courtyards of various sizes, pavilions, towers, carved beams and painted rafters, and even a whole pond of lotus flowers.

Luo Yunqi's car slowly drove into the private garage. The entire garage was their family's private property, a luxury mansion. There was someone there to press the elevator button.

"President."

The elevator slowly ascended, and people were already waiting on the first floor. The moment they saw Luo Yunqi, they bowed respectfully until Luo Yunqi left and disappeared from their sight, at which point they straightened up.

The floor, paved with white jade, was bright and translucent. The elevator went straight up, and on both sides were valuable Tang Dynasty celadon pieces.

The butlers and servants here are all specially trained, and even their family backgrounds are thoroughly investigated, so it is absolutely impossible to place an outsider.

"Young Master, the Old Master is already waiting for you in the study on the second floor."

Did they say what it was about?

After leaving Xu Shuli, Luo Yunqi, dressed in a custom-made suit, looked tall and handsome, exuding the air of a nobleman.

"No, but the old man saw the news today and probably knows about what happened at your inauguration ceremony."

"I know, so what? Have Secretary Qin come to my study later."

"Yes."

The upper floors are private areas, and no servants are allowed to go up there. Even the housekeeper personally cleans up there.

The old man's room was at the far end of the second floor, and next door was his private study.

"Button button button..."

"Enter."

The room was filled with books, giving it a solemn and dignified atmosphere. A painting of tranquility and benevolence hung on the wall.

Any random painting, any random vase, even the calligraphy on his desk could buy an apartment in downtown City A.

Grandpa, you were looking for me?

"So you finally decided to come back."

The old man lay in a rocking chair, the chandelier above shining brightly, as he leisurely flipped through a book.

"This is the Luo family's old residence, my home. Why can't I come back?"

In front of him, Luo Yunqi also removed some of his mask, loosened his collar, and took off his suit jacket, placing it aside.

"Speak, what does the old man want with me this time?"

"Stinky boy!"

The old man couldn't keep up the act for more than three seconds. He was so angry at Luo Yunqi's nonchalant attitude that he raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but throw the book at him, which Luo Yunqi caught with lightning speed.

"What's going on, old man? You brought me back just to beat me up? If that's your idea, I'm never coming back."

The old man calmed himself down. "As your grandfather, don't I even have the right to ask you to come back and have a few words with me?"

"Yes, yes, yes, if you don't have the right, who does?"

The main point is to be perfunctory.

Old Master Luo could tell that he was so angry he almost plucked out his last few whiskers. "I'm asking you, what did you say at the inauguration ceremony? You said you would transfer all the group's shares to Yao Yao's name. So what's the situation between you and Yao Yao now? Let me tell you, it was our Luo family that wronged the Xu family back then. If you do anything foolish again, I'll risk my old life to break your legs."

"I told you from the beginning that your idea was immature, very immature. You did something like this without even thinking it through. You put a girl in the public eye. How can you be so shameless? Who ate your brain?"

"..."

When it comes to bringing up old grievances, Luo Yunqi is convinced by no one but his grandfather.

"Grandpa, from which eye did you see that I would still feel sorry for Yaoyao now?"

He was immature and made mistakes in the past. Now that he has a second chance, he will definitely take good care of Yao Yao and protect her.

"Grandpa, I can see with both eyes that you're unreliable." Grandpa Luo glared and puffed out his beard. "Let me tell you, I've already sent people down to prepare the betrothal gifts. We're going to the Xu family again, solemnly and personally, to propose marriage, and we'll take responsibility for what happened last time."

“The Luo family and the Xu family are prestigious families. We once made the Xu family lose face. Now we will make them get their revenge and let everyone know that Yaoyao is the precious treasure of our two families.”

"grandfather…"

Luo Yunqi was truly taken aback by the old man's meaning.

“Your father isn’t particularly reliable. In your generation, you are the only direct descendant of the Luo family’s main branch. Although our Luo family doesn’t have a throne to inherit, the empire built by the older generation must be handed over to you, and then to your children. So, this is not something that can be decided casually.”

“Your father is unreliable, and I can’t watch you be unreliable too. Yaoyao is a good girl, calm, talented, beautiful, and well-connected. I feel like we’re ruining her life by letting her marry you.”

"..."

How can you belittle your own grandson like that?

Luo Yunqi was speechless. Although he also thought his grandfather was right—Yaoyao was too outstanding—he didn't seem to be any less so…

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will prepare the betrothal gifts for Yaoyao myself. If you prepare them for her, consider it a gift from you to Yaoyao. I will prepare one for her myself."

"As for when, I'll arrange it myself, but I'll need you to step in for me then, Grandpa."

Grandpa Luo nodded in satisfaction, his eyes brimming with approval. "Not bad, that's what a responsible child from our Luo family should be like. Don't worry, when it comes time to ask for your hand in marriage, I, your grandpa, will risk all my pride to marry you off to Yaoyao."

"Then thank you, Grandpa."
