“You’re just an old man. What’s there to see? Besides, the two of us don’t get along well. Why would I fly over to your place for no reason?” Elder Wharton looked at Elder Liu.
“I thought you never knew.” Elder Liu wasn’t the only one who had this thought. Even Elder Wharton’s old butler had always felt that although his old man was always jumping up and down in anger from bickering with Elder Liu, but he always had a happy expression on his face. “I always thought that you were interested in me.”
“You’re an old man. I’m only interested in you if I’m sick.” Elder Wharton looked at Elder Liu with disdain. However, Elder Liu obviously changed the topic, this made Elder Wharton even more curious about Chen Meng’er. “I say, Liu Bolin, isn’t she just an adopted granddaughter? Do you have to hide it so much? I’m not some big bad wolf. What’s wrong with letting your adopted granddaughter come out to meet me? Moreover, I won’t let her come out to meet me for nothing. I’ve prepared a welcome gift for her.”
“Who cares about your welcome gift? What does she lack?” Elder Liu looked at Elder Wharton with disdain. “I will still treat you two as wolves. Wharton, don’t pretend with me. You know what your grandson is thinking about with regards to my Meng’er. Don’t say that you specially flew over this time not for my Meng’er.” Since Elder Wharton had said it so bluntly, Elder Liu also said it bluntly.
“Yes, I’m also here for your granddaughter. Alright, since you already know, then let’s not take a roundabout. Let your granddaughter come out and let me see her. I’m very curious about her.”
“Hmph, just because you want to see her, do I have to let you see her? You’re dreaming too much.” Elder Liu looked at Elder Wharton. “My Meng’er is a very busy person. She doesn’t have the time to see you guys.”

Elder Wharton was curious about Chen Meng’er. Chen Meng’er was curious about Elder Wharton. After breakfast, Chen Meng’er put down her bowl and chopsticks. Her eyes rolled around. She stood up and walked towards the front hall.
“Little Miss.” In the front hall, Elder Wharton and Elder Liu were in a heated argument because they didn’t want to see Chen Meng’er.
Fatty, who had come out for some fresh air, saw Chen Meng’er slowly walking over. His eyes immediately widened. He hurriedly put out the cigarette in his hand, and then quickly walked over to Chen Meng’er. “Little Miss, why are you here? Didn’t Sir tell you not to come out?”
“I know, but he’s just the head of the Wharton family, not some cannibal. Why is Grandpa so afraid of me seeing him?” Chen Meng’er asked.
“Sir isn’t afraid of you seeing Elder Wharton, but he’s afraid that Elder Wharton will be too much. He’s afraid that you’ll be kidnapped by Elder Wharton,” Fatty explained.
When Chen Meng’er heard this, frown lines appeared on her forehead. What the hell was this?
“Am I that easy to kidnap?”
“Ah, that’s not what I meant.” Fatty paused. For a moment, he didn’t know how to explain it to Chen Meng’er. “Oh right, Little Miss, I think you shouldn’t go. Chen Ming is there.”
Fatty’s words caused Chen Meng’er to suddenly stop in her tracks. How could she forget that Elder Wharton was Chen Ming’s grandfather? If Elder Wharton was here, how could Chen Ming not be here?
Thinking of Chen Ming, Chen Meng’er’s curiosity towards Elder Wharton was reduced by more than half. She wasn’t mentally prepared to face Chen Ming.
“Since Grandpa doesn’t want me to see him, then I won’t be seeing him. I remember that I still have some matters to settle. I’ll go back to my pharmacy first.” As she spoke, Chen Meng’er was about to turn around and walk towards her small pharmacy.
Just as Chen Meng’er turned around, Chen Ming, who had come out to get some fresh air like Fatty, saw her standing at the entrance of the front hall. He looked at the girl that he had been longing for and couldn’t help but shout out, “Meng’er.”
Not only did it make Chen Meng’er stop in her tracks, it also made Elder Liu and Elder Wharton, who were quarreling in the hall, shut their mouths.
When Elder Liu heard Chen Ming’s call out his granddaughter’s name, his first reaction was of shock. Didn’t he tell her not to come out?
Elder Wharton’s spirits were immediately lifted when he heard his grandson’s shout. He didn’t have time to bicker with Elder Liu. He picked up his dragon-headed walking stick and strode towards the door.
As he walked, Elder Wharton said, “Liu Bolin, why don’t you hide? I want to see how long you can hide. I want to see how this precious granddaughter of yours is like, to be able to charm my grandson to this extent.”
“My granddaughter, of course, is a princess.” Elder Liu saw that he couldn’t hide it any longer, so he might as well give up. He decided since Chen Meng’er, he might as well let Elder Wharton rot in envy.
Thinking of this, Elder Liu adjusted his state of mind and walked out together with Elder Wharton.
“Chen Ming, you’re here.” Chen Meng’er turned around and said to Chen Ming with some embarrassment. However, there was a sense of wanting to cover up what she said.
After Chen Meng’er finished speaking, she also secretly regretted what she said. What was she saying? She knew everything about the Green Gang.
“Yes, I came with my grandfather.” Chen Ming looked at Chen Meng’er’s beautiful face. He couldn’t get enough of her. It had only been a while since he last saw her, but he already felt as if a piece of his heart was missing.
Chen Ming also felt very satisfied as he looked at Chen Meng’er.
Just when Chen Meng’er was so embarrassed that she didn’t know what to do, a dignified voice came from behind Chen Ming. “You must be Chen Meng’er. After hearing about you for so long, I finally saw you in person today.”
Chen Meng’er raised her head and looked in the direction of the voice. An old man with white hair and a walking stick with a dragon head walked out. The way he looked at Chen Meng’er was sharp.
From the moment Elder Wharton appeared, Chen Meng’er could feel a trace of hostility and sized him up. The way Elder Wharton looked at her made her feel very uncomfortable.
