Chapter 775: Enemies on a Narrow Road 1
Old Master He waved his hand, his disdain apparent.
Old Master He was genuinely tired. After sending He Nan away, he returned to his room to rest.
Old Xu was also exhausted from the day’s activities. As soon as Butler Li arrived back at the He Family residence, Old Xu also left.
...
He Nan hadn’t mentioned the dinner at Old Master’s house to Shen Mianmian. He knew too well the old man’s temperament; if Mianmian didn’t visit, Old Master would definitely keep visiting often. It was better to let them interact more, so that Mianmian would feel closer to Old Master in the future and wouldn’t feel like a stranger.
Time flew, and by late October, the weather began to get colder. It had been over a month since Mianmian got to know Old Master, and they had become familiar with each other.
Every week, Old Master would come over for a meal. Unlike before, after eating, he wouldn’t immediately leave. He would sit and chat with Shen Mianmian for an hour or two, then recount his experiences as a soldier, often bringing up stories from his grandson’s childhood.
Shen Mianmian and Yang Xiaoxi both enjoyed listening to his stories. Old Master was a natural storyteller, often causing all three of them to burst into laughter.
