Defrosting The Cold Young Master - Chapter 416 - Chapter 416: Chapter 417: Why Does It Feel So Familiar?

Chapter 416: Chapter 417: Why Does It Feel So Familiar?

But it’s good that she knows all of this.

Seeing through but not speaking out, that’s the sign of an intelligent person!

Gu Junzhu smiled at Ye Xingbei, “Yes, dad, the smartest thing you’ve done in your life is to find me a good wife!”

“You little brat, what nonsense are you talking about? I’ve done a lot of smart things in my life!” Senior Master Gu rebuked with amusement while his eyes filled with indulgence.

Ye Xingbei twitched the corner of her mouth… Why does this self-praising sentence sound so familiar?

Was it because the Fifth Lord of Gu liked to praise himself so much that it was shared among the family?

She criticized in her heart, but her face maintained a gentle, tranquil smile. Although she was as beautiful as a peach tree, her elegance and grace were growing on Senior Gu, who kept praising her until suddenly he remembered the purpose of his visit.

“Ah yes, Beibei, let me introduce you,” Senior Master Gu pointed to the girl sitting beside him, “This is the granddaughter of an old friend of mine, Sheng Ruolan.”

He looked at the girl and sighed, “This child was treated harshly by fate. She used to be raised in a wealthy home but her father was a spendthrift and was deceived and lost all his wealth. After her family’s company went bankrupt, she and her grandfather decided to return to their hometown to start afresh but en route, they encountered a landslide killing everyone but her.”

“My old colleague, with his last breath urged me to look after this child and find her a good family. Junzhu,” the old Master looked at Gu Junzhu, gently patting Sheng Ruolan’s arm.

“This is your Uncle Sheng’s granddaughter, do you remember? Every year around Chinese New Year, your Uncle Sheng would come to visit our home, offering our family gifts from his hometown. Last year, Lanlan also accompanied Uncle Sheng to our house.”

Gu Junzhu nodded, “Yes, I remember.”

Senior Master Sheng and their family head were comrades. They were friends for life.

Senior Master Sheng retired early due to an injury and went into business.

Otherwise, there is no doubt that Senior Master Sheng would also be a stalwart figure by now.

The old master doesn’t have many old friends left, and the departure of Master Sheng has left one less. No wonder the old master is so melancholic.

Gu Junzhu felt pity for the old man, got up and sat down next to him, giving him a gentle pat on the shoulder, “Dad.”

He didn’t say any comforting words, but the concern in his eyes pleased the old master.

He chuckled, and reassured Gu Junzhu, “It’s okay, I’m fine. When you get old, every day could be your last. It’s just a matter of time. I’m thinking, Lanlan has no prospects following this old man, you and Beibei have more young friends, let her live with you two and take care of her, find a good husband for her.” Sheng Ruolan shyly called out, “Grandpa Gu!”

Senior Master Gu chuckled, “Don’t be shy, this is her grandfather’s last wish, for me to find her a good husband. You and Beibei are of similar age, isn’t Beibei married to my Junzhu now? Old Master Gu is of age, and his task is to find you a good ending, so that he can face your grandfather in the afterlife. Don’t you think?”

Sheng Ruolan blushed, and remained silent, only sneaking a glance at Gu Junzhu.

On their way back to their hometown, their family encountered a landslide. Only she and her grandfather survived.

Her grandfather was seriously injured, and the doctors said he wouldn’t last long..
