ACBNHTS Chapter 31

Chapter 31: Grandpa’s Approval

Sheng Yiguang didn’t know what Pei Du was imagining. During the few minutes he spent going to the subway station after work, he opened and read the private messages with the young master Jin more than a dozen times.

Finally, after getting on the subway, he saw a reply.

[XSB? Grandpa knows you.]

[The person who made Little Wen unhappy is over there. I’m already being nice by not dealing with you, and you still want to beg for cooperation?]

[Dream on!]

His heart sank to the bottom.

Avoiding the evening rush hour, there weren’t many people on the subway.

Sheng Yiguang’s reflection was cast on the dark window, along with the flashing advertising signs.

Sheng Yiguang’s vision blurred slightly, and then the comments appeared again.

[Grandpa Pei is also stubborn. He’d rather stay in the hospital alone than go home.]

[Grandfather and grandson are both stubborn. If this continues, their relationship will definitely get worse.]

[Grandpa is doing all this for Little Wen, it really makes me cry.]

[I’m serious, even if Pei Du really ends up with his white moonlight in the future, he definitely won’t get Grandpa’s approval for the rest of his life, won’t get any blessings, and will even drag Pei Du down.]

[No matter how you look at it, Pei Du and his white moonlight aren’t suitable.]

[Don’t worry, our Little Wen is the official pairing. The love line is just a bit twisted. When Pei Du gives up more and more for his white moonlight, do you think he will still love him?]

Sheng Yiguang lowered his eyes.

Wen Heng truly deserved to be Pei Du’s official pairing, he was incredibly charming.

Young Master Jin liked him.

Pei Du’s grandfather also liked him.

Was this reasonable?

Was he the only one who could see that Wen Heng wasn’t some innocent, cheerful, big boy? That he was a white lotus who didn’t care about Pei Du’s allergies, wasn’t willing to help Pei Du when he was in trouble, and only wanted to marry into a wealthy family?

This wasn’t an official pairing, it was clearly a malignant tumor.

The comments were still scrolling: [Grandpa Pei was even watching Wen Heng’s live stream on his phone today. He saw that Little Wen was about to lose the PK, so he gave him a reward of 100,000 yuan! I’m crying, he still loves Little Wen so much.]

He wondered what rank Pei Du’s grandfather was in Wen Heng’s live stream’s rankings.

He really wanted to install an anti-fraud app for Grandpa Pei.

Meanwhile, at the hospital:

In the afternoon, after Sheng Tong finished his rehabilitation checkup, he went back to the ward to play for a while, then sneaked out and walked to the door of Old Man Pei’s ward, peeking in with his little head.

“Grandpa, hello.”

Old Man Pei looked at the child who looked five parts like Sheng Yiguang and was momentarily dazed, realizing that this little brat was probably Sheng Yiguang’s younger brother.

The older one didn’t work, so he sent the younger one?

Old Man Pei instantly became alert.

Sheng Tong: “Did that Brother Pei come to see you today?”

Old Man Pei’s face was sullen. “Yes, are you looking for him?”

“No.” Sheng Tong shook his head like a rattle drum, took two steps closer, “Grandpa, do you have no one to keep you company?”

This one sentence made Old Man Pei furious.

Wasn’t it all because of that little brat Pei Du, not letting Little Wen come to the hospital?

He was about to give up on acting alone in this hospital bed!

Sheng Tong was making a little calculation.

He wanted to find out more about this grandpa’s situation, and then get Pei Du to come here! So he would stop pestering his brother!

“Grandpa, what kind of illness do you have?”

Old Man Pei looked at the little guy, suspecting that he had been sent to gather information, and upheld the principle of completing the whole act, even the small ones had to be caught.

He nodded and said very seriously.

“A very serious illness, Grandpa is about to die.”

Sheng Tong was shocked and quickly walked to the side of the equipment, skillfully pulled out the oxygen tube, and laboriously raised it to Old Man Pei’s face.

“Inhale! You have to inhale!”

Old Man Pei took it with a complicated expression.

“Do you know what this is?”

“An oxygen tube.”

“How did you know this thing was there?”

“Because I have a heart disease and I’m often hospitalized. I’m very familiar with things in the hospital!”

Old Man Pei was silent.

Sheng Tong took out two small cookies from his pocket and placed them on Old Man Pei’s blanket, patting the blanket with his little hand.

“I’ll give you some cookies, be strong, okay~”

The guilt, annoyance, and shame of deceiving a child instantly overwhelmed Old Man Pei.

“I… I’m not hungry.”

Old Man Pei steeled his heart and pushed the cookies away.

Sheng Tong pushed the cookies back, very insistent, “Even if you’re not hungry, you still have to eat a little bit to have the strength to fight the illness!”

“…”

Old Man Pei’s hardened heart instantly knelt.

“Grandpa! Eat it, and you’ll live to be a hundred years old!”

“…”

Old Man Pei held the cookies, feeling complicated, ashamed and touched. He took out his phone and sent a message to the butler, asking him to bring some cash when he came to deliver the food.

Considering that Sheng Tong was still a child, he would take a little less.

400,000 would do.

–

After getting off the subway, Sheng Yiguang clicked into Wen Heng’s live stream again, listened for a while with headphones, and captured a few clues.

Young Master Jin followed General Manager Jin to Lingang to discuss business.

General Manager Jin liked to play golf.

There was no hope for Young Master Jin.

He should find his family’s adult.

Sheng Yiguang immediately searched for the location of the golf courses in Lingang, noted them down, and hurried to Sheng Tong’s ward.

A full-bodied voice came from inside.

“Take this 400,000 yuan! Don’t say I gave it to you! Just say you found it!”

“Sheng Yiguang said you can’t just take other people’s money! I don’t want it! I don’t want it!”

“Take it!”

Hearing the sound, Sheng Yiguang quickly walked in.

Old Master Pei was facing away from him, hugging Sheng Tong tightly, rubbing his cheek against Sheng Tong’s cheek, his voice almost hoarse.

“Grandpa caught Little Tongtong!”

Sheng Yiguang was stunned on the spot.

Wh, at’s going on?

Did he enter the wrong way?

The butler, who saw Sheng Yiguang coming, coughed lightly.

Old Man Pei turned his head.

Petrified.

Sheng Tong moved happily. “Sheng Yiguang, you’re here!”

Old Man Pei put Sheng Tong down and said very proudly and coldly.

“So he’s your brother. Butler, let’s go!”

Then he snatched the bag from the butler’s hand and threw it on the bed.

He left.

“…”

This turn of events was so awkward.

Sheng Yiguang opened the bag and took a look.

It was all stacks of hundred-yuan bills.

“How did you get to know that grandpa?”

“Today I accidentally went into his ward and gave him two small cookies. He said he would buy them with money.”

Two cookies, 400,000 yuan?

The Pei family would be finished sooner or later with this grandpa around.

No wonder Pei Du worked so hard.

Sheng Yiguang: “Tell me the details.”

Sheng Tong carefully told Sheng Yiguang what happened.

After listening, Sheng Yiguang carried the money and took Sheng Tong to find Old Man Pei.

Old Man Pei had just embarrassed himself and was hurriedly ordering the butler to pack up and run away.

“How could he have run into him!”

The butler reminded him, “It’s because you were addicted to playing with the child and forgot the time.”

“…It must be Sheng Yiguang who knew I liked children, so he sent his brother to win me over, a good strategy of indirect action! How dangerous! I almost fell for it!”

The butler was speechless.

Why don’t you go back and look at the 400,000 yuan, and then say whether it was “dangerous” and “almost”?

Sheng Yiguang knocked on the door.

“Old Man Pei.”

Old Man Pei’s body trembled.

He’s coming to get me!

He straightened his back, lowered his face, and turned around.

“What are you doing here?”

Sheng Yiguang put down the money. “We can’t take this money.”

Old Man Pei snorted coldly. “It’s not for you, it’s for the child!”

Sheng Tong shook his head. “The child doesn’t want it either.”

Old Man Pei: “…”

You little brat! You’re sick, can’t you be greedy for money?

Sheng Yiguang asked Sheng Tong to wait for him in the hallway for a while.

After Sheng Tong went out, he spoke.

“Old Man Pei, I know you don’t like me, and I also know that there is a big gap between me and Pei Du. I really like him, I hope you can give me a chance.”

He’s giving him a chance?

Does he need him to give him a chance?

Does it matter whether he gives it or not?

Does he have any other use in this family besides playing the role of a figurehead?

“My grandson’s heart is all with you, what kind of chance do you want me to give? It doesn’t matter what I say.”

“You are his only relative, I hope that any decision he makes can get your support. You are important to him, so that is also important to me.”

Old Man Pei’s face looked a little better.

He’s quite sensible.

“I will work hard to win the Hai City project. If I win it, can you allow me to be with Pei Du?”

Old Man Pei looked at him. “You can win it?”

Sheng Yiguang’s eyes were firm. “You just need to tell me, can you?”

Old Man Pei stared at him for a while.

“Alright, then you show me.”
