Chapter 313: A ‘Little Girl’

Zhai Yunsheng replied lazily to Master Zhai’s comment: “Well, a little girl gets scared much more easily than this group of rough men.”

Master Zhai’s temper flared: “You’re doing this on purpose, aren’t you? You just don’t want me to see the little girl that you’re interested in, no?”

The more Zhai Yunsheng was like this, the more curious Master Zhai became. It made him want to meet this little girl even more.

And thus, Master Zhai declared: “Well, either way, you’re probably interested in her. If you don’t want to date her and you’re interested in her, just marry her already!”

Master Zhai did things in a rush. He hadn’t yet met the girl but he was ready to get his grandson to marry her already.

It was clear how anxious Master Zhai was for Zhai Yunsheng to get married.

Zhai Yunsheng quickly explained: “Stop it. She’s still a child. No one is interested in her.”

“Then why don’t you let me see her then?” In any case, Master Zhai was determined to see her today.

Ever since he had seen that photo Yu Xi had sent him, he had been constantly thinking about it.

“Ahh, if you want to see her, then go and see her. Do as you wish.”

Zhai Yunsheng didn’t continue to stop Master Zhai.

And thus, Master Zhai turned his head to Yu Xi: “All right, Yunsheng allowed me to meet her. Take me to meet her.”

The photo that Yu Xi sent him last time wasn’t very clear. However, in the photo, it appeared as though the girl had a decent relationship with his grandson.

“Master Zhai, if you go to someone else’s house, you would probably startle everyone there. Why don’t I go and invite her over?”

Yu Xi thought that it would be better to invite God Ling over than to have Master Zhai go out and scare people.

Master Zhai’s visit to Hengyuan City this time had been conducted in a low profile. No one else had heard of this.

“How much effort would that be?” A return trip would take a decent amount of time.

“It’s not a lot of effort. She lives right next door.”

Next door?

And thus, Master Zhai waited for Yu Xi to bring the ‘little girl’ over.

Then, Master Zhai discovered that she was actually a ‘little girl’.

Her face looked pale and soft.

Her appearance was quite pleasing. However, her age did not meet his requirements.

Master Zhai opened his mouth to speak. However, he didn’t know what to say.

Jian Yiling looked at the old gentleman in front of her. He had white hair and wore plain dark grey clothing. At first glance, he appeared to be an ordinary old man.

But the aura of the old gentleman could not be ignored. It was the aura of someone who had been in a high position in society for many years.

The old gentleman stared at her for quite some time. Then, he sighed. It was as if he was very disappointed with something.

“Yiling, this is Master Zhai. He’s Master Sheng’s grandpa,” Yu Xi said. He carefully introduced the identity of Master Zhai to Jian Yiling.

Yu Xi was quite worried. He wondered whether Jian Yiling knew who Master Zhai was.

However, Yu Xi was worrying for nothing. Of course, Jian Yiling knew who Master Zhai was.

He was an old man who had numerous legendary stories spoken about him.

Most people respected and feared this old man. Even Jian Yiling’s grandpa was no exception.

“Hello, Master Zhai.”

Although Jian Yiling’s voice was soft, she did not appear afraid. Her tone was subdued and soothing.

Yu Xi thought to himself, thank goodness. God Ling doesn’t seem to know what kind of scary person Master Zhai is. If she knew, she would definitely feel afraid.

It’s better to not know.

Master Zhai looked at Jian Yiling for quite some time. The more he looked at her, the more disappointed he became.

Ahhh, she was actually a ‘little girl’!

I guess she could only be Yunsheng’s sister after all...

Master Zhai’s expression was filled with frustration and disappointment.
