They had agreed to be friends, but in fact… As the water flowed, the bitter smile on Qin Xiu’s face disappeared with the sound of the water.

He was still was.h.i.+ng the dishes. When Old Master Qin saw Ye Jian walking out, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the dining hall. He thought of the two youngsters who helped his old friend sit down just now and felt that it was a pity.

His grandson wasn’t bad either. He had a good character, good looks, and a good family background. It was rare for someone to not have any bad habits. Even when he smoked, he restrained himself. He had known Old Fu’s granddaughter for many years. Why… Why didn’t they get together? Instead, Old Xia’s grandson beat him to it.

At this moment, Old Master Qin felt his heart hurting too!

Old Xia and his wife were really… so lucky that they were incomparable. Even the granddaughter-in-law candidate that he liked was s.n.a.t.c.hed away by Old Xia’s grandson. Oh my, his old angina problem was about to come back.

Old Master Qin’s heart ached, and he still couldn’t hold it in. After Qin Xiu finished was.h.i.+ng the dishes and came out to sit beside him, the old man said to him, “I really feel that it’s a pity now. Look at how compatible my grandson and your granddaughter are! But why don’t I have Old Xia’s blessing?”

As he spoke, he suddenly raised his hand and slapped Qin Xiu’s back.

Qin Xiu was wearing a s.h.i.+rt. When Old Master Qin slapped him, the sound was crisp. Qin Xiu, who was caught off guard, choked and coughed.

Ye Jian, who was a little awkward because of Old Master Qin’s words, saw that Qin Xiu’s fair face was red and he was even more disheveled than her. Ye Jian immediately swept away the awkwardness and smiled unkindly.

Qin Xiu was embarra.s.sed. His grandpa was really rubbing salt into his wound. Suddenly, his back felt like it was slapped by a brick. His back hurt, and he coughed until tears flowed out.

Old Master Qin didn’t show any mercy. Qin Xiu was still covering his fist and coughing softly. The old master expected better from her and said, “Why are you so slow? Don’t you know how to act quickly? Don’t you know how to make the first move? Don’t you know that it’s the survival of the fittest?”

Old Master Fu laughed until he raised his head. “Alright, alright. You slapped him so hard that his bones are about to be broken. Do you think that two people can get together just because they want to? You need to have a foundation in the relations.h.i.+p first!

“The foundation of a relations.h.i.+p is based on having a good impression of each other. Look at the two of them. Since they’ve known each other for so many years, it’s obvious that your grandson doesn’t like my granddaughter and my granddaughter doesn’t like your grandson.

“They don’t even like each other. Aren’t you forcing the two children to get together, then? You can’t force them. Don’t mess around.”

It would have been better if he hadn’t said anything. Now that he had spoken, Old Master Qin was furious. “You didn’t take a fancy to her? What kind of woman do you want to find, then? A fairy!”

Qin Xiu, who had been smacked until he choked and coughed out tears, could only feel helpless. He had taken a fancy to Grandpa Fu’s granddaughter, but Grandpa Fu’s granddaughter didn’t like him. Moreover, he had also confessed. Wasn’t this a failure?

“Grandpa, Ye Jian and I are just friends. Just like what Grandpa Fu said, if we really had feelings for each other, we would’ve gotten together long ago. Calm down.” He persuaded them gently so that the two elders wouldn’t notice anything amiss. He even whispered, “Please save me some face. I’m a little uneasy now.”

In that case, Old Master Fu would save some face for his grandson. The slap just now seemed to have been a little too heavy. His palm was still numb and hot.
