Chapter 13: Chapter 5: Matchmaking_2"By then, Grandpa will just have to swallow his pride and kneel at Old Lin’s doorstep with a humble apology!" Two lines of hot tears unknowingly streamed down, salty and uncomfortable as they reached the corners of my mouth. Sophie, oh Sophie, is your persistence really necessary? At that moment, Nanny Wang appeared at the door, calling out, "Old Master, Miss, the young master-in-law has arrived!" Grandpa Su perked up upon hearing this, his hunched back instantly straightening. He returned to his seat with a smile, saying, "Hmm, quickly invite him in, Feifei, you stay here, don’t go anywhere. I’ll give you a holiday these few days, and I’ll have someone else handle company matters temporarily!" It was as if Grandpa Su finally put down a heavy stone that had weighed on his heart for half a century. He looked quite pleased as he took a sip of aromatic tea with relish. But Sophie grew nervous. What if the person who walked in looked like Pan Changjiang? She could hardly endure a month, oh no, not even a day with him! Just as Sophie was feeling uneasy, she suddenly saw someone walking in from the door, accompanied by a loud male voice: "Hello Grandpa Su, grandson-in-law Lin Mu is here to pay respects!" Searᴄh the nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Holy crap, calling it a bit too early, aren’t you? Isn’t the wedding not even done yet? This guy has a sweet tongue, but his outfit—oh my god! The Su Family was struck like by lightning when they saw the army-green backpack in his hand. His complexion is a bit dark, but one could get used to it over time. His clothes are a bit shabby, representing the young man’s frugality, so we won’t say much. But that old-fashioned army-green backpack from the mid-20th century—this divine relic’s visual impact is so strong, how can one handle it! "Agricultural Learning from Dazhai," alright, is this rare item being presented as a gift, treated as an antique? Thank goodness he’s neither a misshapen melon nor Pan Changjiang; he can pass with a decent look, at least not to the point of inducing nausea. Sophie let out a long sigh of relief. "Xiaomu, it’s been more than a decade. Although this kid isn’t very tall, very fair, or very strong, I still like him very much. Come, sit by Grandpa so I can have a good look at you!" "Grandpa Su, it’s like we grandparents and grandchildren hit it off at first sight!" Lin Mu, too, knew that the first meeting was important. He had to maximize his physiological advantages! Since his face is handsome but not overwhelmingly so, making full use of his sweet-talking advantage was essential! Another must-have skill is offering a present for the first meeting. Of course, with Su’s Great Enterprise’s financial strength, even if Lin Mu brought a mountain of gold, it wouldn’t necessarily move them. But as the saying goes, it’s the thought that counts! Quickly taking out that old military-green climbing bag, Grandpa Su couldn’t help but frown, thinking, boy, can’t you just not bring out that eyesore in such an important occasion? "Grandpa, this bag contains a thousand-year-old wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain, and rare Cordyceps from the Golmud Desert in Xinjiang. The old man—oh no, my grandpa—said that mixing the two in a certain ratio creates a magical supplement for the middle-aged and senior, beneficial for longevity, nourishing the yin and strengthening the yang, immune to all poisons, and rejuvenating. It’s truly a treasure for fortifying health, a gift to friends and relatives, and an essential for home and travel!" Holy crap, he’s even using CCAV ad language, making Grandpa Su laugh heartily, and even Sophie couldn’t hold back her laughter with this joker. "Moreover, Grandpa Su, do you know there’s a mystery to this hiking backpack?" Lin Mu asked mysteriously, Grandpa Su was instantly interested, "Boy, tell us!" "This thing is a treasure medicine box from a medicine farmer in the Changbai Mountain Area. Decades of various medicinal influences have endowed it with spirituality. Its function is that when wild ginseng and Cordyceps such as these are placed inside, they can remain fresh for a long time!" As he spoke, Lin Mu handed the wild ginseng to Grandpa Su; indeed, it looked as if freshly harvested, though he knew very well the ginseng had been unearthed for several days already. "Oh, you really are a thoughtful kid!" Grandpa Su couldn’t help but look at Lin Mu in a new light, filled with appreciation. Quickly recalling the important matter, he pulled Sophie over to meet Lin Mu, holding Lin Mu with one hand and Sophie with the other, putting them face to face and introducing, "This is Feifei, my granddaughter. Years ago, Elder Lin and I arranged for you and Feifei to be engaged as children. Now that you’re back, the marriage should be arranged soon. However, I think it’s too rushed, and Feifei has important matters to handle. Oh, by the way, Feifei is the president of Su’s Great Enterprise Group, so when you go to work, you can just go to your own company, which means you can often come to accompany this old man, isn’t it great!" In fact, Lin Mu had already noticed this stunning beauty of Moon Palace Fairy caliber, with his pair of sharp eyes already taking in the captivating scene before him, and not to mention he specifically came for this arranged meeting! Realizing he was an old and not too refined third wheel, Grandpa Su decided to leave quickly, giving the young people more time together, and so he rose to take his leave, saying, "I’m old, and there’s a generation gap with you youngsters. I’m afraid you’ll dislike my nagging if I talk too much, so I won’t interfere in your matters. Later, I’ll call someone to prepare a few dishes, Xiaomu, take a rest first. Tonight, this old man will treat you to a feast; let’s drink merrily till we’re drunk, haha!" With a chuckle, after letting go of their hands, Grandpa Su walked out, and Nanny Wang followed. Then the entire room was left with just Lin Mu and Sophie. The way Sophie looked at Lin Mu carried a certain sense of world-weariness, not quite like someone in his twenties. Lin Mu also stared directly at Sophie, without blinking. This chick indeed had noble elegance, transcending the mundane. And besides her natural beauty, she exuded a queenly aura of ruling sovereignty! Seemingly calm as still water, yet beneath the noble and beautiful exterior, there’s an irresistible, extremely dangerous little heart... As Sophie found Lin Mu looking at her with such a strange gaze, she couldn’t hold back any longer. In her view, Lin Mu’s eyes at this moment could be described with all the derogatory terms from the dictionary—seedy, obscene, licentious, lewd... Being able to successfully avoid all positive adjectives in the Chinese language with just a simple expression also proves he’s an oddity! Seeing Lin Mu standing opposite her, Sophie grew even more nervous, tightly grasping the hem of her vintage-style long dress with both hands, unable to maintain the composure honed through years in the business world. The man in front of her was so enigmatic.
