Chapter 120: Reply
Ding Shun smiled kindly and patted Ding Yu’s shoulder. “What do you think? I’m your grandfather, and I see you every day. Why would I pick you up? Of course, I’m here to see Cheng Ling!”
Ding Yu could hear the driver, Old Zhang, in the front laugh.
“Grandfather, you hurt me, and you just laughed it off.”
“If Cheng Ling and I fall into the water at the same time, who would you save?”
Ding Shun said bluntly, “Cheng Ling can save you, and then save herself. There’s no need for an old man like me to worry.”
Ding Yu snorted.
He casually put his school bag on the ground and then leaned back comfortably.
“Grandpa, Cheng Ling left right after school. You won’t get to see her.”
Ding Shun put on a disappointed expression. “She left so early. What a pity. Recently, Cheng Ling has been very busy. It’s hard to see her.”
Ding Shun then instructed the driver to drive off.
As everyone knew the background of this car, they moved to the side to avoid the car. In case there were any scratches on the car, they would be bankrupt.
Looking at Ding Shun’s disappointed expression, Ding Yu asked tentatively, “Grandpa, isn’t next Monday the Cheng family’s old master’s birthday?”
“Cheng family’s old master? Who is he?”
Ding Shun thought carefully, but he couldn’t think of anything.
“Cheng family’s old master is Cheng Ling’s grandfather.”
Speaking of Cheng Ling, then only did Ding Shun figure out.
“Oh, you mean that one? That person isn’t worthy of being Cheng Ling’s grandfather.”
Then he glanced at Ding Yu. “What does his birthday have to do with me?”
At this time, the driver in the front row opened his mouth.
“Elder Ding, the Cheng family seems to have been sending invitations to the birthday party since last month, but you told the housekeeper to ignore it.”
Ding Shun snorted twice. This was his usual behavior when he was looking down and mocking others.
“What does the Cheng family think they are? I don’t know them, so why should I bother with him?”
Ding Yu found it strange. “Grandpa, don’t you like Cheng Ling very much? Why do you have such an attitude towards the Cheng family?”
“It’s not just my attitude towards the Cheng family. We, grandfather and grandson, need to be on the same side and against a common enemy. You will need to have such an attitude towards the Cheng family, too. Everyone in the Cheng family is an ingrate who forgets righteousness for the sake of profit. Of course, we have to distance ourselves from such people.”
Ding Yu nodded.
His old man at home had always been a hot-tempered person.
Due to his previous profession, he had high standards and stressed a lot about the conduct of people. Ding Shun would not even give a glance to those people with misconduct.
“Why did you suddenly ask about his birthday?”
Ding Yu answered truthfully, “Their daughter, Cheng Xiao, called me and asked if we wanted to go over..”
“Cheng Xiao? Who is she? I don’t know her.”
Ding Shun continued to shake his head.
“Why? Do you want to go to this birthday party?”
Ding Yu quickly waved his hand to clarify for himself, “I’m not familiar with them, why would I go? I said this is all for you.”
“For me?”
“Yes, I’ve already asked Cheng Ling. She will be going to this birthday party, too. Grandpa, if you want to see her so much, you can go to this birthday party. The meaning of a drunken man is not in the wine, but the landscape.”
Ding Shun pondered for a while after hearing this and felt that it was very reasonable.
“This is a good idea. You’ve been my grandson for so many years. It’s finally useful.”
Although he was praised, Ding Yu felt like he was scolded. So he had lived for the past 18 years in vain?
On the way back, Old Master Ding clapped his hands and decided to go to the party on Monday.
The driver, Old Zhang, asked Old Master Ding, “So are we going to send a reply to the Cheng family?”
“Yes, in case they say we came uninvited.”
“Alright.”
So when Cheng Xiao and Xie Wan went to get the good thousand-year-old ginseng, they heard the good news when they got home.
“Really? The Ding family has replied?”
The housekeeper took the reply sent from the Ding family and nodded happily.
Old Master Cheng, who was sitting on the chair, was also smiling.
Xie Wan picked up the reply and read it carefully.
“Dad, you must be happy this time!”
Old Master Cheng nodded with a smile. “Yes, it’s a surprise that Old Master Ding will be coming. Wasn’t he still ill yesterday?”
At this moment, everyone looked at Cheng Xiao.
Cheng Xiao didn’t know what was going on. Yesterday he said that he couldn’t come. Was it because of her that Ding Yu specifically asked his grandfather to come?
Xie Wan was not a modest person. She immediately put all the credit on Cheng Xiao.
