Chapter 265: This old man was so angry he kicked the bucket!

Qiao Qiao was genuinely happy to see the Tan family of five. After breaking free from Yan Liti's hand, she happily skipped over and greeted them one by one.

The first person I called out to was Grandpa Tan, then Aunt Dou, Uncle Tan, Sister Xiaoqian, and Brother Xiaoyan.

As for why you have to call him "Grandpa" before calling him "Old Master Tan," it's obviously to annoy the old man behind you, who is clearly agitated as soon as he sees her.

The old man looked to be in his fifties. He was sitting in a wheelchair, wearing a long military overcoat with a Zhongshan suit showing at the collar.

Her hair was gray, and her features bore a striking resemblance to her biological father, Shen Qingyan.

Especially his eyes, which were sharp and extremely penetrating.

When he is not speaking, he exudes an aura of dignified and unapproachable authority.

When Qiao Qiao saw him, she immediately understood. This was Shen Tuo, the old man who disliked her, favored the two sisters who had given him their hearts and kidneys, and who also took good care of Shen Qingrong.

Qiao Qiao didn't really care whether this grandfather liked her or not.

Anyway, she has a lot of fans!

One more or one less makes no difference.

But just now, while they were in the room, Yan Liti suddenly pulled her to a corner and whispered something to her.

That roughly means that she should deliberately act more affectionate towards the Tan family's grandfather in front of the old man.

They said they were going to make that old geezer so angry he'd kick the bucket!

After calling out to Tan's family, Qiao Qiao glanced at the old man behind her out of the corner of her eye.

He continued to observe secretly.

The Tan family was warmly invited into the courtyard by the Qiao family. The Qiao family did not say anything to Old Master Shen, and tacitly left him with Yan Liti.

Qiao Qiao didn't linger outside either. Holding Tan Qian's hand, she skipped and hopped happily into the courtyard.

Until their figures all disappeared through the doorway, the laughter and chatter gradually faded away.

Yan Liti then approached Old Master Shen.

The small figure had long since disappeared, leaving only the echo of "Grandpa" lingering in my ears.

He looked up at Yan Liti, his voice hoarse and trembling: "Is...that the child?"

Old Master Shen felt a dull ache in his chest.

How could it not hurt?

This is his own son's flesh and blood!

She's his own granddaughter!

Before seeing the person, Old Master Shen was still able to remain calm and rational.

But when he actually met the person, he realized how fragile reason was.

He knew that the small figure had definitely seen him.

But she doesn't recognize him!

He calls Tan Guosheng Grandpa!

The sweeter and more tender her voice was when she called Tan Guosheng "Grandpa," the more his heart ached and ached.

Whether it was the pain in his heart or the overwhelming emotions, Old Master Shen's voice was choked with sobs, his hands on the wheelchair handles began to tremble, and finally he reached out to cover his reddened eyes.

She doesn't acknowledge him.

His granddaughter doesn't acknowledge him.

At this moment, Old Master Shen realized this very clearly.

"Didn't you choose this yourself?" Yan Liti looked at him coldly.

Yan Liti thought that seeing the old man like this would make her happy and pleased.

But in fact, she was not happy at all; instead, she felt bitter and resentful.

She pointed to the house behind her and the mud at her feet, and sneered: "Look at this environment, this house... This is the environment in which the child has lived since he was a child, and all of this is thanks to your good nephew!"

"If it weren't for his 'blessing,' my granddaughter would be the happiest little princess in the world. She would live in the most luxurious castle, wear fine silks and satins, and eat the finest delicacies! She would have a driver when she went out and a nanny when she came home..."

"But look at what kind of life your good nephew has given my granddaughter!!"

Yan Liti's words were not an exaggeration.

Even without relying on Shen Tuo or the Shen family.

With just the Yan family and Yan Liti, she could ensure that her granddaughter would live the happiest life in the world and be the most precious little princess in the world!

Yan Liti's assets are enough to allow her granddaughter to wear gold and silver and live a life of extravagance, which she could not squander even in dozens of lifetimes!

After Yan Liti finished speaking passionately and indignantly, she finally saw the old man in front of her, and she could barely suppress her sobs.

Yan Liti was satisfied.

He snorted again.

She turned her head and smiled at the guard standing beside her, and she transformed back into the exceptionally elegant and noble lady of Kyoto.

"Xiao Wei, you must be tired from your journey. Come on in and sit down. Have some hot tea to warm yourself up. We'll start eating soon."

"By the way, you have a driver in your car, right? Call him down and let's eat together. This place isn't like Kyoto; there won't be any restaurants after dark."

As Yan Liti spoke, she entered the courtyard without waiting for Wei Xingzhi's response.

Wei Xingzhi waited until Old Master Shen had barely calmed down before calling the driver out of the car.

Outside the Qiao family's house, the ground is muddy. It snowed a few days ago, and the ground hasn't dried yet, so the road is muddy.

Grandpa Shen's wheelchair couldn't roll in the mud, so Wei Xingzhi and the driver worked together to lift him into the Qiao family's courtyard.

In the courtyard, the Qiao family had laid a thin layer of cement flooring. Although it was damp, the Qiao family loved cleanliness and would clean it every day. Now, apart from a few leaves, there was only a little bit of soil brought in from outside.

When the three of them came in.

The Qiao family and the Tan family were sitting around the fire in the main room, while Fang Zhengnan and Grandma Qiao were cooking the last two vegetables in the kitchen.

Qiao Changdong and Qiao Changhong are entertaining their family members.

Everyone was served a cup of hot tea, a beverage that every household in Hongfeng Town drinks during the Spring Festival.

This hot tea is called sesame and bean tea.

In ordinary households, only some tea leaves are added to the tea.

However, in Hongfeng Town, in addition to tea leaves, they also add some dried ginger strips dipped in salt, as well as roasted sesame seeds and crispy broad beans.

These have a unique flavor when soaked together in hot water.

Anyway, Qiao Qiao really likes it.

She didn't like the tea itself, but rather the toppings left after drinking it.

Each time, an adult would help her drink most of the tea, leaving only a small portion for her to eat with a small spoon.

"Sister Xiaoqian, drink up! After you finish, these sesame seeds inside are delicious. Use a small spoon to scoop them out and eat them." Qiao Qiao stood in front of Tan Qian, enthusiastically introducing the food.

"Yes, it's really good." Old Master Tan took a couple of sips and gave an affirmative answer.

Upon seeing Old Master Shen finally enter, his small eyes lit up instantly.

Acting like a host, he warmly invited people in: "Old friend, come in quickly and have some of this tea that Qiaowa introduced, what's it called again? It's really good."
