Chapter 426: I Did This Thing (2)_1
"I heard from Yan Lei that it was Yuhan who was looking for him," Xiao Yuechao said, relieved his father wasn’t angry.
"Since Yuhan is coming, let’s go downstairs," said Old Master Xiao, who was extremely fond of his only granddaughter.
"Grandpa," they had just come downstairs when Xiao Yanlei arrived with Liu Yuhan. Seeing her grandfather, she ran over to him, cooing affectionately. Although Liu Yuhan was willful, she had been instilled with the belief by her mother since she was young that she had to ingratiate herself with her grandfather. Only by winning his affection would everyone else love her too.
"Oh, Yuhan is here. Come, let grandpa see. Our Yuhan has lost weight," remarked Old Master Xiao, now the image of a loving elder, showing no sign of his previous anger. "Come and talk to grandpa, are you settling in well at Shangjing University? Has anyone bullied our Yuhan?"
"Grandfather, Yuhan called me because she was bullied. She was even crying on the phone with me today," Xiao Yanlei explained, recalling Liu Yuhan’s request not to reveal what had really happened at school—having her boyfriend snatched by another girl, just to say she had been bullied. Xiao Yanlei assumed that Liu Yuhan felt ashamed that someone had taken her boyfriend and didn’t want to lose face by talking about it, so he agreed to her request.
"Really? Yuhan, tell grandpa who bullied you. I’ll deal with them for you. I want to see who dares to pick on my precious granddaughter," Old Master Xiao said, obviously holding back some anger.
"Grandfather, it’s a small matter, you don’t need to get involved; I will have Yan Lei help me get even," Liu Yuhan hastily suggested. She feared if her grandfather got involved, her lie might be exposed. And the one thing her grandfather despised most was being deceived. The thought of her grandfather finding out she had lied to him made her shudder.
Old Master Xiao had initially been impulsive, but after hearing Liu Yuhan’s words and remembering he had other issues to deal with, he nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll leave this to your Yan Lei." Turning to Xiao Yanlei, Old Master Xiao instructed, "Yan Lei, this matter with Yuhan is yours to handle. You better do a good job, or you’ll answer to me."
