Chapter 896 - 898 Flashback
Tang Rong couldn’t hold it any longer. After five minutes, she took out her phone to check, but there was no news at all. This made her even angrier. Not to mention making a phone call, how could he not even reply to a text message? How long can it take to reply to a text? It seems like he really doesn’t care.
On Xiao Yifei’s side, following the address Hu Jingtang had sent him yesterday, he finally arrived at the agreed place before eight-thirty. As soon as Xiao Yifei entered the place, he felt refreshed and invigorated. The morning sunlight softly spilled onto the secluded path, and inside the two doors was a square courtyard, with houses in all four directions—east, west, south, and north—uniformly made of blue bricks and black tiles.
Under the locust tree in the courtyard was a bluestone slab supported by a concrete pillar, softly shimmering. There was a hand-pumped well, with a reservoir built at the water outlet. Standing in the courtyard, Xiao Yifei didn’t know which house Hu Jingtang lived in, so he patiently stood in the center of the courtyard, reasoning that they would come out once they saw him.
Hu Jingtang was preparing breakfast in the southern room. Looking out into the courtyard, he noticed Xiao Yifei standing there and quickly went out to greet him, "Xiao Yifei, you came quite early. I haven’t prepared breakfast yet. You go inside and have a seat. Linlin, you entertain Brother Xiao for a while."
After saying so, the old man pulled Xiao Yifei into the house, then spoke to a young girl who was busy inside.
"Grandpa, just sit back and relax. The food I make is definitely not worse than yours. You just have a good rest!" the young girl said while busying about.
Silently, Xiao Yifei thought to himself that this girl was probably his granddaughter.
Upon hearing the young girl’s words, Hu Jingtang seemed very pleased and said to Xiao Yifei with a smile, "This is my granddaughter, Hu Lin, currently studying at Peking University!" The old man’s face was full of unconcealed pride when talking about his granddaughter.
