For fear that Qiao Haoting would be unhappy, Chu Xiaochen looked at Qiao Haoting seriously and said sincerely, "Grandpa Qiao, don't be angry. I don't mean anything else. I just... think it's too high. Grandpa Qiao appreciates me so much. It's me."
It's an honor. Actually, I'm not a goddaughter or a granddaughter. If you like me, I will visit you often in the future."
If an ordinary girl had such a good thing come to her door, she would be overjoyed already.
Chu Xiaochen chose to refuse, and the sincerity on her face did not seem to be a disguise, which made Qiao Haoting appreciate her even more.
Qiao Haoting laughed, "Why would grandpa be angry with you? If you don't admit it, you won't. However, you have to keep your word. I will take you to the gate in a while. You should visit grandpa often in the future."
"Okay." This time, Chu Xiaochen readily agreed.
After leaving the restaurant, Qiao Haoting really had to take Chu Xiaochen back to the Qiao family's old house.
It was an ancient Chinese-style building located in the city center, with green eaves and green tiles. A towering sycamore tree in the courtyard was like a canopy attached to the courtyard.
Chu Xiaochen looked around at the old house in front of him, "This house seems to be quite old, right?"
"Well, during the Republic of China, our Qiao family lived here." Qiao Haoting stopped in the courtyard and looked at the sycamore tree. The sight of his two daughters dancing rubber bands under the tree when they were young flashed before his eyes.
, "It turns out that our Qiao family is a big family. When I was young, there was always laughter and laughter under this tree. Now, I am the only one living there."
"Aunt Qiao and the others won't come back to live?" Chu Xiaochen asked.
"They don't like this old house. They say it's inconvenient to get into and out of water, and they find the road too narrow to drive cars in front of the door. It's uncomfortable when it rains and snows..." Qiao Haoting shook his head, "Come on, I'll take you
Go in and have a look."
The two entered the hall. Chu Xiaochen saw the photos hanging in the hall and walked over curiously.
In the photo, there is a photo of Qiao Haoting and his wife with their two daughters.
Noticing Qiao Yurou inside, Chu Xiaochen was suddenly surprised.
"Do you think you two are very similar?" Qiao Haoting walked over with a smile.
"Indeed...it's a bit like that."
"This is my second daughter, Qiao Yurou." Qiao Haoting looked up at the old photos on the wall, "Every time I see you, I think of my daughter. She was also a poor person and died early..."
Seeing the sadness and nostalgia on the old man's face, Chu Xiaochen couldn't help but suddenly realized.
No wonder Qiao Haoting liked him so much and wanted to accept her as his granddaughter. It was originally because of this.
How sad is it when a white-haired person gives a black-haired person a gift?
Feeling sympathy for Qiao Haoting, Chu Xiaochen stepped forward and held his arm, "Grandpa Qiao, don't worry. I will visit you often in the future."
When his eyes touched the tea cup on the table, Chu Xiaochen's eyes lit up, "You must also like tea, come on, sit down quickly, I will make you a cup of tea."
Chu Xiaochen washed his hands and made tea, and chatted with Qiao Haoting for a long time. He didn't get up to say goodbye until about eight o'clock.
Qiao Haoting sent her out all the way and asked Yang Lin to see her off, but Chu Xiaochen refused.
Qiao Haoting also knew that she was worried about her identity being exposed, so he asked Yang Lin to take her to the side of the road and take a taxi back.
By the time Chu Xiaochen got off the car outside his alley, it was already past nine o'clock.
Just when Luo Jun called, Chu Xiaochen walked into the alley chatting with him on the phone, but did not notice a pair of eyes peeking quietly not far away.
