C5 Laughing Grandpa

Bai Ping was a petite woman. Her height was about 1.6m, not thin, a little baby fat, and her oval face was not particularly delicate, but her eyes were beautiful, large and round. When she smiled, they curved into a crescent-shaped shape which was very pleasing to the eye. Shu Haoran remembered that her mouth was very sweet, and her words were always very proper, making people feel comfortable. This was also the main reason why his father would marry her and be able to live in peace with her for 20 years.

"Haoran, this is daddy's new secretary. Call her Auntie Bai from now on." Shu Jingyu said awkwardly.

"..." Auntie Bai. " Honestly speaking, he could not remember when the first time he met Bai Ping was. But now, it seemed that this was probably the first time.

"How are you, Master Young Master Shu? Are you feeling better? You need to rest more, get your body well before you go to school. " Bai Ping was as humble and polite as she remembered, and she did not follow Shu Jingyu in calling him "Haoran," nor did she say any more polite things.

"It's a bit awkward calling him Master Young Master Shu, Ping. You can call him Haoran from now on." Shu Jingyu cleared his throat, and Jake seemed to see no flicker in his eyes.

"Erm, let's wait until you're more familiar with it before we say anything else. I think it's easy for Master Young Master Shu to shout." Bai Ping smiled and naturally left a good impression on the others.

"Father …" Shu Haoran didn't care about the name at all. Right now, he was more concerned about another thing, "That 500,000, can you pay for it without taking it back?"

As soon as he said that, the ward fell silent. Qin Kai and Bai Ping both opened their eyes slightly, while Shu Jingyu pursed his lips, looking annoyed.

"What are you saying!?" Is five hundred thousand fifty? Whom do you want to pay off? To the kidnappers?! " Shu Jingyu raised his voice, obviously angry.

"General Manager Shu, don't be angry. Haoran is still a child, you don't know how much 500,000 is." Bai Ping quickly tried to smooth things over as the atmosphere slightly eased up.

"…" Shu Haoran lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. There was indeed a big difference between the current 500,000 and the 500,000 after 20 years, so suddenly making such a request seemed a little inappropriate. Therefore, he changed the way he said, "I'm sorry dad, I think I'm not right.

"There are so many pitiful people in the world, is our family doing charity? You were implicated and I haven't settled the score with the Ling family yet. What do you mean by repaying the debt for them? Shu Jingyu's anger that had just subsided came back to him. What was the difference between this and asking him to give five hundred thousand to them?

"Ling Mu'an, she …" She saved me. I got my head broken by the kidnappers. She took care of me. " Shu Haoran came up with a good reason, "Perhaps we don't need 500,000 yuan. As long as we can pay off that portion of the Ling family's debt, then the debts of the other kidnappers …"

"Wait a moment." Shu Jingyu suddenly interrupted Shu Haoran and walked forward a few steps to the bed. He touched Shu Haoran's forehead that was still burning, "I say, what's strange about it? Why are you suddenly so old?" "They don't seem like you anymore."

"…" Shu Haoran was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was too excited and forgot about the situation where he was ten years old.

Should he explain? How to explain? Could it be that he was killed by his elder brother at the age of 30 and then mysteriously returned to his ten-year old body? Who would believe such unbelievable nonsense? It was highly probable that he would be sent to a mental hospital for treatment, since he now happened to have hit his head.

"Kids change more or less when they come across this kind of thing. I think that during the kidnapping, that little girl from the Ling family told Master Wu Steel about some matter of debt and not debt. That's why Master Wu Steel said those words when she asked for his help." Bai Ping made her move at such a crucial moment. Although Shu Haoran had heard what she said in front of the tombstone and no longer had any good impression of her, he still looked at her gratefully at this moment.

"..." Alright, alright, Haoran, don't let your thoughts run wild. Kidnapping is not a good thing, hurry up and forget about it. Shu Jingyu was silent for a moment, agreeing with Bai Ping. "I still have things to do. Qin Kai, take good care of the young master. I have a party tonight, so I won't be coming over. "Oh yeah, Haoran, I didn't tell Grandpa about you being kidnapped. Don't leak the information, make him worry."

"Yes." Knowing that there was no turning back, Shu Haoran could only silently nod his head.

When Shu Jingyu and Bai Ping had left, Shu Haoran sat there alone for a while, and Qin Kai tactfully didn't say anything. Instead, he took an apple, washed and peeled it, and cut it into pieces, which he placed in the bowl.

He wouldn't let Ling Mu'an go, but he had to think about what to do. If his father couldn't get off this road, then what about his grandfather? He remembered that his grandfather died when he was 18 years old. At that time, he was studying abroad, so he missed his grandfather's funeral. It was Shu Yichen who held the bone ash urns and participated in the ceremony. His memories of his grandfather were very vague. He only remembered that he was a person who liked to laugh, but it was not warm. Instead, it made him scared, but he really couldn't remember exactly why he was afraid of not wanting to get close.

"Young Master, have some apples." Qin Kai passed the apple to him and also sent a big smiling face. "Don't worry, I will help you find out what happened to Miss Ling and her mother."

"Hmm? "Really?" Shu Haoran turned around and looked at Qin Kai. Although he was smiling, he could no longer trust him as he used to.

"How could it be fake!?" Leave it to me! " Qin Kai patted his chest and smiled even more brilliantly.

"Mm. Alright." It turned out that Qin Kai would laugh like this when he was young. Shu Haoran had to compare him to the current him after he had grown up. The difference was huge.

People change when they encounter setbacks and tribulations.

Shu Haoran finished eating the apple and slept for a while. In the evening, after dinner, he felt much better and his head didn't hurt so much anymore. He also didn't feel faint, so he asked Qin Kai for his number and went to the public phone to call his grandpa.

"Grandfather, I want to go to your place tomorrow." "No," he said.

"Sure, sure. Grandpa wants nothing more." the old man on the other end of the line said.

The other party's impatient and joyful voice was like a child who suddenly received a gift. He didn't understand why he was afraid of this kind of old man, and why there weren't many old men in his memories.

There were so many reasons why he did not get a good night's sleep. On the second day, he deliberately said that he was sleepy and wanted Qin Kai to help him investigate about Ling Mu'an. After that, Qin Kai left with his front legs, looking for the address in his memory, and walked out of the hospital with the 10 yuan in his pocket.

Bicycles passed in a steady stream in front of him. The way people dressed and wore their hair looked comical, but it was also the trend of the day. There was a bus stop not far away from the entrance of the hospital. There were no colorful advertisements on the old bus, and there were also ticket clerks on the bus. The bus stopped at the bus stop, and a group of people squeezed up to the stop. He missed his Lamborghini, but he was lucky if he could get a taxi now, because he was only 10 years old in this era when taxis were just coming in and he was only 10 years old.

Shu Haoran held onto the unaccustomed old yuan in his hand. He stopped Shu Haoran for a long time. Luckily, the heavens didn't disappoint those who were kind to him. A driver had helped him with the money. As the car drove on, the scenery outside the window made him feel both familiar and unfamiliar. Twenty years ago, the city was old and unfamiliar, the store was connected to the store, the side street was connected to the side street, and the signs on the front of the store were almost the same. There was no sign of a high-rise LED, no striking LOGO or high-end, high-end, high-end MALL.

"Little brother, we're here. Next time when you're out, it's best if you go with the adults." The taxi driver found change and drove him to Taiping West Street.

"Thank you, Uncle." Shu Haoran retracted his nostalgic thoughts and revealed a childish smile. At the age of 10, he had a pleasing appearance. His eyes were big, his skin was white, and his eyelashes were very long.

Taiping West Street, Jianning District.

Jianning District was considered a rather expensive residential area because it was built near a lake. There were only 18 buildings in the residential area, and each building had 5 floors. Each floor only had one family, and the housing area was very large. Shu Haoran's grandfather lived alone, because his grandmother passed away not long after giving birth to his father. After that, the stubborn old man rejected all kinds of matchmaking and pasting, and never married again.

"Hao ~"

"Eh? "Grandfather!"

Just as they arrived at the entrance of the residential complex, Shu Haoran saw the old man's figure. He had a head full of white hair, was tall and thin, had a smile on his face, and looked energetic. In his memory, the old man liked to call him Hao, because the word "Hao" was found by the old man.

"I called your dad. He said that he was in a meeting and I didn't expect you to come alone. Haha, good boy, you've become more daring!" The old man grabbed his small hand and said that he hadn't expected it, but he had been waiting at the entrance for who knows how long. Hm? What's wrong with your forehead? "

"Nothing, I accidentally knocked him. The doctor said that he's fine." Shu Haoran raised his hand to touch the gauze on his forehead and a strange feeling surged in his heart. The old man's hand had some calluses and held his hand tightly. It made him feel a little pain, but it was very warm, ten thousand times warmer than he remembered! Grandpa, you seem very happy ~ "

"Of course I'm happy that my grandson came to see me!" He lived on the first floor of the ninth building. In front of the house, there was a small yard with some flowers, a man-made mini pond, and a few red carp and turtles. Shu Haoran vaguely remembered that he liked to play in that small yard when he was young.

"Grandfather, actually, the reason I'm here today, is because I have something that I need your grandfather's help with …" Shu Haoran thought about his words. In fact, he didn't know how a ten-year old child should talk.

"Don't say it, let me guess! Hmm, there's a new toy I like that your dad won't buy? Was he being criticized by the teachers for not doing well in school? Otherwise, would he be bullied by his classmates? "Or …" The old man guessed a few at once, just like an old naughty kid. Shu Haoran didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was simply impossible to draw an equal number between the old man in front of him and the old man in his memories.

I have a friend here. Her father failed in his business, owed her a lot of money, and then ran away. Right now, she and her mother are being chased by their creditors all day long. Shu Haoran avoided the kidnapping and tried his best to reasonably express the purpose of his trip.

"…" "The old man stared at him for a long time, and then remained silent. Shu Haoran's heart was pounding, and just as he wanted to add a few more words, he asked," "Is that friend of yours a boy or a girl?"
