The Little Brat’s Sweet And Sassy

Chapter 335: Had Always Been About Her

He took a deep breath and said coldly, “I’ll give him a call.”

As he said that, he stood up.

Xu Yini saw that the expression on his face was not good, which made her nervous.

“Grandpa Lu, this is all my fault.
Please don’t blame Huaiyu and–”

Old Master Lu suppressed his anger.

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

After all, he had been born to be a general.
Even when Old Master Lu was really angry, he continued to exude a regal aura.

Xu Yini’s heart trembled.
She did not dare to voice out the rest of her words.

Xu Rufeng gave her a look.

Old Master Lu seemed to care more about this matter than they had expected.

However, upon further thought, Old Master Lu was very old and had a traditional mindset.
How could he accept that his grandson liked men? Surely, it was normal for him to have such a big reaction.

No matter how much he doted on Lu Huaiyu, this time he would surely have to face reality.

Xu Yi was flustered and worried.

She felt guilty because her impulsiveness had caused so much trouble for Lu Huaiyu, but on the other hand, there was an unspeakable grievance in her heart.

She had liked Lu Huaiyu for so many years, but she had never received any response.

It wasn’t that she did not find it tiresome, but she had kept telling herself that it had nothing to do with Lu Huaiyu not liking her.
After all, he did not show interest in anyone else.

That meant that she still had a chance.

However, it was not until now that she realized that Lu Huaiyu already had someone in his heart.

All her efforts and sincerity had become a joke!

So, even though she had known that taking the initiative to come here would cause a huge impact on Old Master Lu and cause a storm in the Lu family, she had still come.

She wanted to know if Lu Huaiyu really liked men.
She also wanted to find out the identity of the person that he treasured!

…

Old Master Lu entered his room and locked the door.
He immediately dialed Lu Huaiyu’s number.

Lu Huaiyu had just sent Ning Li back to Shuiyuan Shijia.

Lu Huaiyu’s phone rang.
He picked it up to look at the screen.

“It’s grandpa.”

Ning Li nodded, not minding it.
She pushed the door open and got out of the car.
She waved at him through the window.

“Goodbye, Second Brother.”

Lu Huaiyu waited for her to turn around and leave before he answered the call.

“Grandpa?”

He had barely spoken when he was attacked by Old Master Lu’s fierce barrage of fire.

“Don’t call me grandpa!”

Old Master Lu was completely energized as he was filled with the urge to curse out loud.

“I don’t have a grandson like you! You b*stard! I think you must have a death wish!”

Lu Huaiyu, “…”

“Tell me! What’s with that hand-drawing in the book? What’s going on!?”

So that was the reason for this call.

Lu Huaiyu instantly understood.

“Did the Xu family come?”

“Don’t you worry about whose family is here! So what? If they didn’t come, then were you not going to tell me about this?”

Old Master Lu was furious.

“Get your *ss back here right now!”

Lu Huaiyu pinched the space between his eyebrows in helplessness.

“Grandpa, this is just a misunderstanding…”

“What misunderstanding! They came to our house and told me everything clearly! Boy, you are really capable of doing anything now, aren’t you?”

Lu Huaiyu sighed softly.

“I don’t like men.”

“Whether you like men or not is none of my business!”

Old Master Lu’s temper flared up, causing him to explode.

“You already have someone that you have liked for a long time, yet you’re still messing with Ah Li? You b*stard, are you crazy?! Have you completely forgotten all my advice!?”

Lu Huaiyu, “…”

“You come back now! Now! I want to see who you are so–”

“That person is Ah Li.”

Old Master Lu’s voice suddenly became hoarse.
After a while, he raised his voice and asked, “What did you say?!”

Lu Huaiyu turned his head to the side to look at the slender figure just outside the car’s window.

He said, “From the beginning until now, it’s always been her.”

…

Ning Li went upstairs.
Yu Pingchuan and Lin Yaohui were already waiting for her.

When he saw her, Yu Pingchuan immediately said, “Ah Li is back.
Let’s go now.”

Ning Li nodded.

“Then, please wait for me.
I’ll go and take the New Year gifts.”

“It’ll just be the same old three, remember? Don’t bring too many!”

Yu Pingchuan reminded her.

Ning Li replied, “Don’t worry, I know.”

After twenty minutes, the three of them drove to Jinse Bay.

The road was quite congested.

Ning Li looked at the long queue of cars outside and asked, “There should be quite a lot of people going there to pay their respects today, right?”

Yu Pingchuan laughed.

“Don’t worry, knowing that you’re going, Jinse Bay has been specially cleared out for today.
They’re just waiting for you.”

The corners of Ning Li’s lips curled up helplessly.

“I’ve caused trouble for them.”

“What trouble?” Yu Pingchuan chuckled when he heard what she said.
“You don’t know that the most annoying thing over there every year is these relationships.
This year, we finally waited for you to come over so that there’ll be no reason for you to refuse.”

He turned to look at Ning Li and chuckled.

“Don’t worry, we’re all family here.”

Ning Li nodded.

After a while, Yu Pingchuan suddenly thought of something and asked, “Oh right, I haven’t asked yet.
How was your time at the Lu family yesterday?”

Ning Li thought for a moment, and a small dimple appeared on the corner of her lips.

“Yes, it was pretty good.”

Hearing her words, Yu Pingchuan’s heart finally relaxed.
He sighed and nodded with a smile.

“That’s good! That’s good!”

This was Ning Li’s first Lunar New Year since her grandmother had passed away.

She was alone and in the Capital, so he naturally felt more worried and a sense of pity for her.

Fortunately, it seemed that she had been living well with the Lu family during the past two days.

In this aspect, Lu Huaiyu was indeed quite reliable.
He had not misjudged him!

…

The Lu family.

In the living room, Xu Yini and her parents were still waiting, looking in a certain direction from time to time.

Xu Rufeng frowned and muttered, “Old Master Lu has been in there for quite a while.
Has the call not ended yet?”

They were quite far away from the room.
In addition, the door was tightly locked, so they could not quite hear what Old Master Lu was saying.
All they could make out was that Old Master Lu had been really angry in the beginning.
Then, he went quiet for a long time, but he still had not come out of the room.

Xu Yini was full of worry, and she began to wonder about whether it had been a mistake to come over today.

If Old Master Lu really did something to Lu Huaiyu, then…

Creak–

The door finally opened.

Xu Yini and the other two immediately looked up.

Old Master Lu walked out, but his expression was not quite what they had expected.

The look on his face… He did not seem to be angry anymore?

“Grandpa Lu.”

Xu Yini took the lead and stepped forward.

“There might be some misunderstanding here.
Please don’t be angry yet.
Let’s wait for Huaiyu to come back before we talk about it properly.
In the end, this matter is still my fault…”

Old Master Lu put his hands behind his back and coughed when he heard that.

“There’s no need, no need.
That… Yini, please don’t take this matter to heart.
It’s not your fault.
I’ve already reprimanded that kid.”

Xu Yini and her parents were completely stunned.

After all, this matter had been caused by Xu Yini with her drunk and crazy behavior.
Now that the rumors were spreading, did the old man really not blame her at all?

Old Master Lu sat down on the sofa, picked up his teacup, blew on it, before speaking.

“It’s all right.
Everything has been made clear.
Huaiyu really likes that kid.
Since that’s the case, just let him be!”
