"In that case, Grandfather, you should bother her less." Gu Shuo felt a twinge of regret, but at least the little girl had a home now.
"Absolutely not. That little girl has completely won me over. If she's on guard, so be it. I'm sure that one day, she'll open up to me and accept me as her honorary great-grandfather." The old man was nothing if not persistent.
Seeing his grandfather's determination, Gu Shuo didn't dare mention the connection between the little girl and the four of them. He was already this entangled without knowing the full story; if he found out, he'd surely raise hell.
"Grandfather, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now."
"Where are you going?"
"Business."
"You brat, whatever you do, don't go to Yu State," the old man cautioned.
Gu Shuo turned and got into the carriage.
"Don't you dare give me a half-hearted answer! If you go, I won't acknowledge you as my grandson anymore!"
"I know."
