Chapter 72

“Hahahaha!” Old Master Cao’s hearty laughter filled the room, clearly conveying his happiness. It took a while before he could calm down.

“Lu, my boy, you’re truly blessed. I’ve had Yingying by my side for so many years, but I’ve never seen her care so much for any man!” He teased, his gaze flitting between Lu Li and Cao Yingying, jokingly adding.

“Indeed, it’s my fortune to be favored by Yingying.” Lu Li glanced at Cao Yingying and smiled slightly.

“In that case, I won’t say much more, to avoid harboring any resentment against this old man. But I have just one request: don’t let my Yingying suffer any injustice.” He looked deeply at Lu Li, his eyes that could usually read people unable to penetrate the young man before him.

“It seems Old Master Cao doesn’t go out much but knows everything, though I’ve never tried to hide it,” Lu Li thought to himself.

Nodding towards Old Master Cao, he affirmed, “Of course.”

“That’s good. I’m old now and dare not offend you, the miracle doctor. Otherwise, if you refuse to treat me, it’s this old man who’d be at a loss.” Old Master Cao’s gaze returned to its usual jovial, childlike demeanor.

Lu Li is a smart man; Yingying has set her heart on him, so why should he, the old man, play the villain?

“Old Master Cao jests; I wouldn’t dare.” Lu Li also laughed, pleased with the resolution.

Lu Li understood, as did Old Master Cao, and naturally, Cao Yingying caught the meaning behind their conversation.

The stunningly beautiful girl showed a hint of blissful smile, her grandfather’s approval of her and Lu Li meant the Cao family would stand by Lu Li’s side in the future. This was a beneficial situation for Lu Li.

“Right, my granddaughter will be living with you from now on. These days, she just sits in the living room, daydreaming. I, an old man, can’t stand to see it anymore. It saves her from sighing in front of me every day. Of course, while I’m still in Hangzhou, she must visit daily, that’s the bottom line.”

“Grandpa–” Cao Yingying couldn’t listen any longer, blushing even as she scolded her grandfather softly. Though she had thought about it, hearing her grandfather say it made her shy. Daydreaming? Although she did think about Lu Li daily, was it really that obvious?

She blushed deeply and looked down.

“Old Master Cao, were you a matchmaker in the past? Why are you so keen on setting up your granddaughter?” Lu Li’s expression turned odd.

Proactively suggesting his granddaughter live with him, that’s a bit… disrespectful!

“What, you don’t want to?” Old Master Cao’s teasing gaze traveled between Lu Li and Cao Yingying.

Lu Li: “…”

Cao Yingying: “…”

They really couldn’t handle Old Master Cao’s demeanor!

Despite his good intentions, he always managed to say things that embarrassed them, leaving them clueless about how to respond.

“No objections! Then it’s settled. Tomorrow, you’ll move in with this young man from the Lu family.” Old Master Cao made the decision with a slap on his thigh.

Lu Li didn’t know how he left the Cao family’s residence, but his expression seemed to have run wild. What a formidable Old Master Cao!

Cao Yingying was too embarrassed to send Lu Li off today. Her face was filled with reproach as she glared at her grandfather.

“Grandpa, how could you say such things in front of Lu Li!”

Her upset demeanor was a far cry from her usual aloof and self-satisfied appearance.

“What’s wrong? Didn’t Grandpa just follow my Yingying’s wishes?” Old Master Cao pretended to be aggrieved as he looked at his granddaughter.

“Grandpa–” Stomping her foot, Cao Yingying’s face showed a trace of anger.

“Hahaha, alright, alright. You’re not young anymore, and that Lu boy has two other young girls at home. Don’t tell me you’re not anxious.” Old Master Cao laughed.

Cao Yingying was at a loss for words. Though she had guessed her grandfather knew, hearing him say it outright still made her feel awkward.

How could she not be anxious? You Meng was one thing; in Lu Li’s eyes, she was just a little maid. But Chen Xiaoyi was now working in the same place as Lu Li, spending too much time together, making Cao Yingying unavoidably jealous.

“Hurry up and live with that young man from the Lu family. Try to win his heart! Since you’ve set your heart on him, I, your grandfather, have nothing to say. Grandchildren have their own blessings. I’m afraid if I say too much, my Yingying will dislike me!”

Old Master Cao’s eyes twinkled with indulgence.

“Just one thing…”

Cao Yingying looked up, seeing her grandfather’s seriousness.

“You’re my granddaughter, a child of the Cao family. If that young man from the Lu family dares to bully you, don’t blame this old man for playing the senior card.”

Cao Yingying’s eyes softened as she grasped Old Master Cao’s arm.

“Don’t worry, Grandpa, Lu Li won’t.”

“You’re really madly in love, aren’t you!” Old Master Cao sighed helplessly. The little white cabbage he had raised for over twenty years was about to run off with the pig.

“But you’re right, Grandpa. I really should live with Lu Li. After Lu Li treats you tomorrow, I’ll go back with him.” Although shy, Cao Yingying knew her grandfather meant well.

Some things she couldn’t say herself, but seeing Chen Xiaoyi and You Meng living with Lu Li, to say she didn’t feel sour was impossible.

Her grandfather spoke for her.

“What, not mad at Grandpa now?”

“Grandpa~~” Cao Yingying pulled at Old Master Cao’s arm, acting coyly.

“Hahahaha! That’s right. Yingying, you were always so sensible that it pained this old man. I never thought that young man from the Lu family had such ability.” He ruffled his granddaughter’s hair, his heart bursting with joy.

As one grows old, the only hope is for the younger generation to be safe and happy.

Although that young man from the Lu family had significant issues, his granddaughter liked him, after all!
