What could Shi Beiyu do even if he was unhappy? Mu Siyin had already gone back.
“Tonight…”
“I’ll be staying with the Lu family tonight.”
Upon hearing that, Shi Beiyu paused for a while before he nodded unwillingly. “Alright, then. Contact me immediately if anything happens.”
“Okay. I got it.”
After hanging up the phone, Mu Siyin could not help but pout. Shi Beiyu might feel more at ease that she was not returning home tonight!
To be honest, after Shi Beiyu stopped midway through sex last night, she did wonder if she was not attractive enough.
At that thought, she walked towards the Lu family’s gate with a gift in her hands.
The Lu family’s old mansion was passed down from the Lu ancestors. It was historical yet simple and elegant, which felt like a mansion from the ancient nobility.
As soon as the maid saw Mu Siyin, she hurriedly walked up and greeted her with a smile. “You’re back, Miss Yinyin.”
Mu Siyin nodded with a smile. “Yes. Is Uncle and Auntie home?”
“Sir and Madam are at the company. They’ll be back soon.”
Mu Siyin thought so too and nodded as she said, “Okay. Is my cousin back?”
“Young Master… came back yesterday but not today.”
Mu Siyin sighed softly, thinking how pitiful her cousin was.
“I’ll go see grandpa.”
“Old Master is probably in his study now.”
“Alright. I got it!”
The Lu family’s old mansion was full of antiques. She crossed the front yard and through the corridor before she finally came to Old Master Lu’s room.
The precious flowers and plants in the yard were very pleasing to the eye. She deliberately lightened her footsteps as she came to the study, where she tiptoed at the side of the door and peeked in.
“Come in. I heard you from afar.”
She could yet have a clear look at Old Master Lu when she heard an old and slightly helpless voice coming from inside.
She froze and instantly grinned as she entered.
Old Master Lu was standing at his desk in a beige-colored tangzhuang while practicing calligraphy with a brush. He had white hair, a kind face, and a skinny figure. Although his complexion was not very good, his majestic and superior presence made him look tough.
Mu Siyin was very respectful yet terrified of Old Master Lu. From what she could recall, her grandpa was a stern man.
However, she felt an affinity with her grandpa to have seen him again in this life.
“Are you practicing calligraphy, Grandpa?” She walked over with a smile.
Old Master Lu did not lift his head as he skillfully wrote the last word.
Mu Siyin said softly, “Tranquility yields transcendence.”
Old Master Lu put down his brush before he looked at her and asked, “Do you know what it means?”
Mu Siyin answered with a smile, “It means that you can achieve great things once you set your mind to it.”
Old Master Lu nodded. “But great things can’t be achieved overnight.”
Mu Siyin nodded. “Yeah. Many understand the meaning, but it’s not easy to achieve.”
Upon hearing that, Old Master Lu stared at her for a while and said, “You’ve finally learned something, little girl.”
Mu Siyin laughed helplessly and passed the handkerchief that was prepared on the side to Old Master Lu. “Is your grandaughter that dumb to you, Grandpa?”
Old Master Lu took the handkerchief and replied, “You’re not dumb. You’re stupid.”
Those words were a huge blow in Mu Siyin’s face. However, her grandpa was right about it as she used to be pretty dumb and stupid.
“Well, it is not too late for you to have come to your senses now.”
Mu Siyin did not know whether to laugh or cry at Old Master Lu’s carrot and stick approach.
“You mean…”
