314: Meeting the Old Folks

Meeting the Old Folks

Old Master Su had called his old friend, the Old Master of the Chu Family, Chu Bozhong, over to take a look at his great-granddaughter. After the duo had a game of chess, he looked up and realized that everyone had disappeared. He did not know where they had gone.1

"Old brother, you're so lucky!" Chu Bozhong looked at him and smiled. "You've been waiting for so many years for Ci'er to give birth to a grandchild. Now, you even have a great-grandchild."

He was not like him. He had seen younger people die before him, leaving him alone in the Chu Family. Without such an old friend, he did not know what the point of living in this world would have been.

"Old Chu, my child is your child." After saying that, Old Master Su shouted. Where had everyone gone? Why had they disappeared in the blink of an eye?

Old Madam Su was helped in by a servant. "Everyone's gone to fetch them. Why don't you go out and take a look? If my legs weren't that bad, I'd go out too."

She had been praying to the stars and the moon. Ci'er's child had finally done something that had made everyone happy. He had a daughter and a grandson.

She had seen Sheng Sheng's photo. She was pretty and she looked a lot like her younger sister at a young age. The last time her younger sister had come home to visit them, their conversation had never deviated from her granddaughter. Upon seeing her so happy, she was relieved when she had left.

Ling Sheng entered the main room with her grandparents. She held her grandma's arm and whispered into her ear, feeling a little nervous. She did not know if the old folks would like her.

"Father, Mother." Su Xiyin dragged Ling Sheng over.

Huo Xiao greeted his in-laws respectfully but smiled when Old Master Su glared at him. Since he wasn't given permission, he stood aside, not daring to sit down. He had respected his father-in-law for decades.

Ling Sheng held in her laughter, not knowing how to describe this. It had been a few decades, but the old man still disliked her grandpa. Perhaps all fathers never liked the man who had snatched their precious daughter away!

Huo Ci called them grandpa and grandma but did not seem arrogant or irritable in any way. He was as well-behaved as a child in front of the old man.

"Sheng Sheng, come and let me take a look at you." Old Madam Su waved at Ling Sheng, her wrinkles forming a smile as she held her hand and talked to her. She was overjoyed.

Ling Sheng smiled sweetly and greeted her. Then, she squatted in front of her and answered her questions obediently.

The two old folks were over 90 years old, but their bodies looked strong and healthy. Their complexion was also good. According to his grandma, they were not deaf or long-sighted. They were really a blessed couple with many filial children and grandchildren. Their lives could be considered perfect.

The old lady took an emerald bracelet out of an exquisite red wooden box and put it on Ling Sheng. Then, she asked Su Xiyin, "Doesn't Sheng Sheng look nice?"

Su Xiyin nodded with a smile. Everything her granddaughter wore was pretty. That emerald bracelet was an item from the Song Dynasty. It used to be her mother's favorite accessory in the past. She had stopped wearing it after she had gotten old, afraid that she would accidentally break it. After all, she wanted to make it a family heirloom.

Ling Sheng knew at first glance that this bracelet was definitely valuable. It looked like jade, it was shiny, its color was clear, and although it was old, it was also moist and warm.

Old Master Su had not forgotten. His memory was still good. He looked at the obedient girl in front of him in satisfaction. "Sheng Sheng, where's Xiaoqi?"

He had even prepared a gift for the child!

Chu Bozhong gave Ling Sheng an exquisite gift box and smiled lovingly. "I don't have anything good for you. I wonder what young people like these days. Anyway, this is for you."
