Chapter 533: Want to Leave but Not Go
Xu Weiwei's grandfather, Mr. Capet, is 70 years old this year, which is the right age for adventure.
Especially when the family is big and there are many things to do, he is also willing to work. Although his son is already able to take care of himself, it would be boring for him to be idle at such a young age, so he might as well find something for himself to do.
Of course, he has more free time.
In the past, he always went home around noon, had lunch with his wife, rested for a while, and then returned to the group.
But today, he was out of character. Not only did he not go to work, he also stayed in the living room like a pinnacle, with a long face and a look of being ready for a great enemy.
Mrs. Capet was speechless and amused. "You really should go to work. I'm old now, can I still run away with others?"
The usually gentle old man snorted and gritted his teeth and said, "It's hard to say. Those old guys have bad intentions. Don't think I didn't see your interaction on Xingbo. What if you are persuaded by their sweet words?"
Mrs. Capet hit him angrily: "How can there be any interaction! Isn't that just their one-sided comment? When did you see my reply?"
"You already have grandchildren, and you still say these things. Aren't you ashamed? The servants are watching you."
Those who were listening in on the fun quickly pretended to be busy.
"Master, Madam, Earl Matthew is here to visit." The butler came into the room to report.
Mrs. Capet glanced at the clock in astonishment and said, "So soon? It's only a little after eight o'clock."
"Is he here to see a doctor? He clearly has ulterior motives!" The old man said angrily, "Kick him out!"
The butler looked down at the floor and heard his master being hit again.
"What are you shouting for! If you don't like me, go upstairs! If you dare to ruin Wei'er's business, I'll show you how I'm going to deal with you!" Mrs. Capet scolded with her hands on her hips.
The old man endured it.
Soon, a man dressed in British style, with long curly hair and a cane came into the villa. He opened his arms and walked towards Mrs. Cape with a smile: "Lian, long time no see."
Just when the two were about to hug each other, the old man stood up suddenly, stood between them, accepted the hug on behalf of his wife, and when he let go, he secretly exerted force and gave a push.
"Long time no see." He said with a fake smile. "Have you had breakfast, Lord Matthew? We just left. Do you want me to serve you another portion?"
The underlying meaning is clear: You're early, you rude fellow.
Of course, Matthew understood the hidden meaning in his words. He smiled good-naturedly and sat on the sofa opposite with his arms wide open: "Okay, just keep it simple."
The old man was shocked by his shameless attitude and was so angry that he was speechless.
Mrs. Capet quickly intervened, pulled her husband to sit down, and turned to the servant, "Go and prepare something to eat for the count."
Matthew sighed: "Lian, do you have to be so distant with me that you don't even want to call me by my name."
Old man: That feels great.
There was more than one rude guy. While Matthew was drinking his coffee, the second one, the third one... and so on came one after another.
The Capet family's living room was gradually filled with people. In the back, they even moved in a separate sofa to avoid being too crowded.
The servants were also busy running around, serving tea, hanging up clothes, and helping to change shoes.
The strange thing is that when there are more people, things become quieter. Everyone observes each other calmly.
Smart people would want to come early to grab the first opportunity. Unfortunately, all the people sitting here are smart people.
From eight to half past ten, I drank more than a dozen cups of tea and went to the toilet two or three times. Finally, I heard noises outside again.
"Master, Madam, the young lady is here." The butler did not avoid anyone, and his voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for everyone present to hear.
As a result, pairs of hopeful eyes became disappointed and straight backs bent.
There was only one person that the Capet servants could address like that, and that must be the little girl named Sifos. She was said to be very smart, and most of them had met her once or twice at last year's banquet.
It was just that she had nothing to do with them, so they didn't pay much attention. Now that they heard about it, they just thought she was visiting her grandmother's house. No one thought about it seriously.
The two doors of the villa were pushed open from the outside to the inside, and a beautiful woman came in. She had an upright posture, bright eyes and a slender neck like a noble white swan.
Even though they had seen it before, they were still a little surprised.
Xu Weiwei's eyes widened. Considering the large number of people, she had come early, but she didn't expect that everyone would be more enthusiastic than she thought.
So many powerful and imposing men turned around and looked at her, and suddenly she felt a little nervous.
Mrs. Capet stood up, beckoned her over with a smile, took her arm, and led her to the center of the circle, saying, "These are all my old friends, you can just call them grandpa and grandma."
Xu Weiwei quickly made eye contact with them one by one and greeted them all: "Hello, grandparents."
Mrs. Capet turned to face the others, her smile retracted, and her expression became serious.
She took Xu Weiwei's hand and said bluntly: "The person you want to see is here."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, unable to believe what they heard: Did they understand it correctly?
There was silence for a few seconds, as everyone digested this sentence while observing their old friend's reaction. Seeing her serious face, not joking, several people felt it was ridiculous.
"Lian, do you know what you are saying?"
"Sister, are you serious?"
"Ha! You might as well tell me this Lulumon is cured!"
The air suddenly became restless, and a few impatient people stood up and were about to leave.
With their status and position, they came here so early in the morning and waited so long patiently, but the answer they got was such a ridiculous one. How could they not be angry?
Xu Weiwei opened her mouth to say something, but her grandmother slapped her on the back of her hand. She understood what she meant and shut up.
One old and one young, they just stood there calmly, without apologizing, trying to keep the other, or explaining.
The man who had just walked out angrily for two steps suddenly became suspicious and hesitated. Looking back at those who were still sitting there, he felt something was wrong.
These people are all like old foxes. They are so patient. Is there any inside story?
Now that I'm leaving, I feel like I'm going to suffer a loss...
McQueen happened to come back at this time. Seeing this strange scene, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Hey~ Uncles are so childish, playing with statues here?"
"Haha, my nephew is back."
"Don't make fun of your uncle, kid."
……
Xu Weiwei called out "Uncle", and McQueen came over, pinched her face, and lifted her up by her armpits: "Let me see if you've gained weight after a few years."
"Tsk, it's still so light, all you eat is a heartless meal."
"Uncle!" Xu blushed slightly and shouted as if begging for mercy.
She was a big girl, and her body was very long. It was so embarrassing to be touched like this.
McQueen put the man down with a laugh, clapped his hands, turned around and said to the people who stood up, "Are you leaving? Can I see you off?"
How could he not know what his family was going to do today? He also heard what those people said at the entrance just now.
It is normal to judge people by appearance, and you can't force it, because they are the ones who suffer anyway.
"Uh……"
The few people who wanted to sit down again while chatting were now embarrassed, neither leaving nor staying. Some of the people who had been sitting there watching calmly showed expressions of gloating.
Go quickly to avoid arguing with them.
He was a reckless man when he was young, and he hasn't made any progress even when he got old.
Lian was always calm and generous. When had she ever joked with them? No matter how outrageous the story was, they were willing to believe it.
Not to mention such a big event this time.
They had heard about the little girl's deeds and thought that she might have some extraordinary abilities.
She looked up at the person standing in the middle of the field. From the moment she came in until now, she seemed to have an aura around her, isolating herself from the surroundings. No matter how noisy the outside world was, she was always calm and composed.
With this kind of mentality, they are willing to trust her a little.
