Cheng Anning finally saw the old man in a sober state this time.
That night, after she ran away from Huo Yan's room, the servants locked her back in the foreign-style building in the side courtyard and she was not allowed to leave.
After being locked up for three days without a mobile phone and losing contact, she almost went crazy.
As a result, when she saw the old lady now, she was tense and motionless.
The old man was making tea, his movements were skillful, he was wearing a Tang suit, and his gray hair was tied back. It was obvious that he was an old man who paid great attention to appearance.
"Try it, it's the tribute Longjing."
Cheng Anning hesitated for a moment, then took a sip. The faint fragrance of tea filled her mouth. Even she who didn't understand tea knew that this was good tea.
The old man asked again: "How?"
Cheng Anning was silent for a long time, and finally said, "It tastes good, it should be expensive."
The old man paused and suddenly laughed, a rare and hearty laugh.
"You girl, you actually use the term "very expensive" to evaluate this tea, but that's right. This is tea that costs one million taels. This evaluation is very real."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Anning subconsciously took two more sips.
The old man smiled even more heartily, but when he thought of business, he restrained his smile, "When you marry into the Huo family, there are some things I haven't told you yet, so don't mind. After all, my grandson's daughter-in-law can be brought to me alive.
Just you."
Cheng Anning's hand softened and she almost dropped the cup.
The old man said in a neutral tone, "This cup is more expensive than tea."
Phew, Cheng Anning immediately put the cup down and placed it firmly.
There was a smile in the old man's eyes again, and he suddenly felt that this child's personality was very lively, and thought it would go well with Ayan's dull personality.
Perhaps, this person can really break Ayan's game.
The old man of the Huo family is a good person and the best at attacking people's hearts, so he talked to Cheng Anning calmly for a long time. The kindness and gentleness in his words made Cheng Anning slowly relax.
Cheng Anning's original nervous mood disappeared, and she also drank a few more sips of the expensive tea, feeling a little biased.
The temperaments of the old man and Mr. Huo were very different. The old man was very gentle, more like his own grandfather. Thinking of his grandfather, Cheng Anning's heart pricked.
She also had a grandfather who loved her very much, but he died early and could not protect her for long.
"An Ning, what are you thinking about? Are you bored because you don't like chatting with the elderly?"
Cheng Anning came to his senses and shook his head quickly, "I'm not bored, I know a lot. I like chatting with you very much."
The old man was just used to hypocrisy, but when he saw the unpretentious admiration on Cheng Anning's face and met those clear and clean eyes, he felt a rare trace of sincere care.
This child is completely different from the Cheng family.
Thinking of this, the old man's original thoughts were shaken.
"An Ning, have you met Ayan?"
Cheng Anning's brows twitched when she mentioned Huo Yan.
She was really scared, really scared. Not only was Huo Yan invisible, but he was also cruel and fierce. Wei Xiang looked like he was beaten until he was covered in blood, and how he threw her away unceremoniously in the bathroom.
All are daunting.
When the old man saw that Cheng Anning's face turned pale and he was still a little trembling, he understood.
He took a sip of tea and then said slowly and leisurely: "An Ning, don't be afraid of him. He is just a paper-skinned tiger. He only looks good but doesn't use anything."
Cheng Anning forced out a pitiful smile, "Grandpa, he, he is not a paper tiger, he is a real tiger, ferocious, and can eat people."
The old man was amused and laughed for a while, "Are you afraid of him?"
"Afraid, afraid."
"I'll teach you a way not to be afraid of him. Do you want to hear it?"
Cheng Anning thought, so she cautiously moved closer. This chapter has been completed!
