Yuwen Jing did not know that because of Chen Ming’s grandfather, his position in Elder Liu’s heart had risen quite a bit. Moreover, when he saw Elder Liu again, it was rare for Elder Liu to give him a good look.
And Chen Meng’er finally learned from Zhuge Yu that her grandfather, Elder Liu, had a grudge with Elder Wharton. Chen Meng’er didn’t expect the two old men to be so at odds with each other. It was actually related to a woman. And it was quite a melodramatic story.
Speaking of which, when Elder Liu and Elder Wharton were still young, their relationship was quite harmonious. Both of them were very outstanding. After meeting each other, they had a feeling of mutual appreciation. One day, Elder Wharton excitedly ran over to tell Elder Liu that he had fallen in love with a girl. He fell in love with this girl at first sight. He also said that he would introduce the two of them to each other after he had successfully wooed the girl. At that time, Elder Liu was happy that his good friend had found someone he liked.
However, Elder Liu waited for more than a month and did not see Elder Wharton bring the girl over to introduce her to him. Gradually, he forgot about this matter.
On one occasion, Elder Liu and Elder Wharton went out for a drink and happened to be at a restaurant. Elder Wharton excitedly introduced a girl to Elder Liu. “Bolin, that’s the girl I like.”
When Elder Wharton introduced the girl to Elder Liu, the girl just happened to turn around and see Elder Liu and Elder Wharton. At that time, the girl’s eyes lit up and she walked over with a smile on her face.
Elder Wharton thought that the girl had come over to greet them because she saw him. However, he never expected that the girl would look excitedly at Elder Liu. “Liu, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect to see you here. Oh right, thank you for saving me last time.” The girl looked at Elder Liu with adoration, even a fool could see it, let alone Elder Wharton.
Elder Wharton’s face turned black at that moment. He originally thought that the girl had rejected his confession because she didn’t realize how good he was. However, it was only then that he realized that the reason the girl had rejected him back then wasn’t made up, it was true.
She had someone she liked, and the person she liked was also his good friend.
If Elder Liu had ended up with that girl, Elder Wharton might not have felt so sad. Later, when that girl confessed to Elder Liu, he had rejected her. Elder Liu had told that girl that he had long since found a childhood sweetheart in the country. When he returned, he would be engaged to his childhood sweetheart.
The girl did not give up her feelings for Elder Liu because of Elder Liu’s rejection. Even though Elder Wharton never gave up and pursued her all those years.
In the end, the relationship between Elder Liu and Elder Wharton became extremely bad. Alas, the girl contracted a terminal illness and died of depression. Elder Wharton blamed Elder Liu for the girl’s death.
He felt that if Elder Liu hadn’t been so heartless, the girl wouldn’t have died so quickly.
Although Elder Wharton later married and had children, his relationship with Elder Liu had changed from friendship to enmity.
Chen Meng’er heard the long-buried story that Zhuge Yu told her, and she sighed deeply. “Sigh, this love affair is really troublesome. However, I really didn’t realize that Grandpa was such a passionate and devoted person. Once he had set his eyes on Grandma, he would never change.”
“Exactly. After Madam passed away, many women rushed to be the new madam of the Green Gang, but they were all rejected by Sir. Little Miss, you don’t know how many women we helped Sir reject back then.” Speaking of this, Zhuge Yu’s face was filled with nostalgia. Unknowingly, they had all grown old.
“Hehe. It can be seen that Grandpa’s luck with girls has always been very good. Uncle Zhuge, let me tell you, there are still many old ladies outside who are eyeing Grandpa.” Chen Meng’er was not joking, as long as Elder Liu gave the word, the old ladies who wanted to be Elder Liu’s wife would line up at the gate of the Green Gang.
At this moment, Elder Liu was already lying on the bed. Because of the arrival of Elder Wharton, Elder Liu, who was thinking about the past, was flipping through old photos and looking at the people in the photos. A nostalgic expression appeared on his face. “Juan Juan, in the blink of an eye, thirty to forty years have passed. You have already left me for thirty to forty years. If it wasn’t for Meng’er accompanying me, I really wouldn’t know what my life would be like in my later years. Tomorrow, Wharton will come. To be honest, I really miss him. Sigh, I’ve been fighting with him for these past few decades. Now that I think about it, it’s a different kind of fun. Really, if it weren’t for him, I would really have lost a lot of fun in these past few decades of my life.” As he said this, Elder Liu could not help but sneeze. “Juan Juan, look, Wharton must be talking bad about me behind my back.”
Wharton, who was being nagged by Elder Liu, had just been settled by his old butler on the plane. Before he could lie down, he sneezed several times in a row, scaring the old butler so much that he turned around and was about to call the doctor.

Chen Ming calculated the time and waited for his grandfather at the airport’s VIP entrance with Mr. Smith early on.
Wharton arrived at the capital airport an hour later than expected. Due to his status, the airport’s executives also waited at the VIP entrance early on after receiving the news.
After a long flight, even Elder Wharton, who was still in good health, showed signs of fatigue.
“Grandpa.” Chen Ming saw Elder Wharton and respectfully greeted him.
“Mm.” Elder Wharton was also cold and indifferent towards his grandson.
“Grandpa, your room has already been tidied up. Do you want to eat something to fill your stomach first, or do you want to go back and rest?” Chen Ming sought the opinion of his grandfather, Elder Wharton.
“I want to go directly to the Green Gang.” However, Elder Wharton’s answer completely exceeded Chen Ming’s expectations. He never expected that after his grandfather got off the plane, the first place he wanted to go was actually the Green Gang.
