Chapter 485: I'm So Pitiful
Gu Chonghua glared at Old Master Guo's shamelessness. “You, you, you… You despicable old fool. I only have one granddaughter, why should I give her to you?”
Old Master Guo had nothing to lose. “Because I'm pitiful! Wu, wu, wu, Wanyin and I are too pitiful. You've not only robbed me of my fiancée, now you're doing better than me. It's not fair!”
Wow!
Gu Chonghua was so angry he leapt to his feet. “Who robbed you of your fiancée? You and Ruyu had agreed not to marry each other, but to marry other people. When I was pursuing Ruyu, you clearly had no feelings for her, but you still used your status as a fiancé to viciously oppose me. I haven't even gotten even with you for that, and here you are pretending to be wronged.”
d.a.m.n it, what a shameless fellow!
Old Master Guo felt no guilt when he thought of the past. He said self-righteously, “I thought of Ruyu as a younger sister, but you tried to take her away. So what if I opposed you? I was right to do so.”
Gu Chonghua was so angry that he didn't want to talk to this fellow anymore. They had known each other for decades, so he was well acquainted with this b.a.s.t.a.r.d's shamelessness.
In the past, this fellow had led him a merry dance when he was trying to court Wen Ruyu.
When Gu Chonghua didn't say anything, Old Master Guo couldn't be bothered to speak to him either. He continued staring at Gu Qingyao with a calculating expression!
He was plotting how to get this pretty young girl to be his own granddaughter. That would certainly delight his wife.
He was finally over it.
Their daughter had betrayed them and their son had left the country. He knew a little about what had happened to his son. The boy was quite capable and his wife came from a powerful family. Although he didn't know how his son was right now, at least he had managed to leave the country. In which case, they would not be too badly off. Perhaps, they had even managed to leave together.
His son should be doing quite well, right?
Then he did not need to worry about him.
Right now, he only wanted to take good care of his wife and let her enjoy her final days.
She had always liked young girls. When she was young, she had doted on her own daughter, but the child had grown increasingly selfish. Although she was not as capable as her older brother, she fought him for everything. In the end, she had simply betrayed them.
This Gu Qingyao was the daughter of their dreams!
Obedient, mature, and likable!
She was Wen Ruyu's granddaughter, so she had some affinity with them. If the child was willing to acknowledge them as grandparents and make up for some of his wife's regrets in her old age, he would have an heir for his hidden property.
Gu Qingyao's hairs stood on end as he looked at her. Old Master Guo saw that Gu Qingyao was looking at him in fright, so he immediately smiled kindly.
“Yao Yao! I'm Grandfather Guo, and your grandmother and I were childhood sweethearts. We were like brother and sister! The friends.h.i.+p between our families spans many generations. We are very close!
“Since you are Ruyu's granddaughter, then you are also my granddaughter. Can you call me 'Grandfather' in the future? Your Grandma Guo really likes young girls. Look at how pitiful she is. When she wakes up and realizes she has a pretty little granddaughter like you, she will be definitely be delighted!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Gu Chonghua rolled his eyes in fury. “My granddaughter likes me the best. She won't call a cunning fellow like you 'Grandfather'!”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
Old Master Guo was not at all angry. Instead, he smiled at Gu Qingyao even more amiably. “Says who? Our Yao Yao is so kind. She can't bear to disappoint her Grandma Guo.”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
