Chapter 773 Goodbye Grandpa
Hearing the old man say that, Shen Mianmian and Yang Xiaoxi felt it unsuitable to insist on escorting him any further, so they could only hand over the things to him, and reminded him, "Grandpa, please walk slowly on your own, take rests if you’re tired, and do pay attention to your health. You can come to our place next week."
"Alright, thank you, young ladies." The old man nodded repeatedly.
"Goodbye, Grandpa."
Yang Xiaoxi said, waving her hand in farewell.
The old man watched the two leave. Not long after their departure, a man in his fifties came out from an alley, "Old man, why did you bring them here?"
He was none other than Old Xu from the He Family.
He had been following them the whole way, worried about being discovered, and didn’t dare follow too closely.
The He Family’s patriarch laughed a few times and pointed at the things on the ground, saying, "These two young girls were worried I’d go hungry, so they prepared so much food for me. They were also concerned I couldn’t carry it all and insisted on bringing me here. I had no choice but to lead them this way. If I hadn’t come up with an excuse, I wouldn’t know how to end the situation."
Looking at the things on the ground, Old Xu also started laughing, "Xiaonan has a good eye. The girl he fancies is kindhearted. Just because of this alone, her character is not bad. If it weren’t for her family’s poor circumstances, she would be quite a match for Xiaonan."
"Family conditions don’t represent everything. This girl might be successful in the future, it’s possible for her to be a match for Xiaonan." The He Family’s patriarch hinted, inside and out, at his satisfaction with Shen Mianmian.
He had instructed Old Xu to thoroughly investigate Shen Mianmian’s background. The child had a hard life, pitiful since childhood, mistreated by her foster parents. Then she met Xiaonan, and her life started to improve, she even managed to buy a house on her own.
