Chapter 2214 Hurry
"Dad."
As soon as they sat down, Boss Bai opened his mouth and was given another blank look by the old man.
"What's the hurry?"
“You don’t know how to pour a cup of tea for your guests?”
“No hospitality at all.”
Boss Bai:......
He just wanted to ask why something was so difficult?
……
Just when Xiao Xiao was about to speak, the old man waved his hand, "Young man, you're welcome."
"No matter what happens, as long as it's not a matter of urgent life-saving, we still have to show the hospitality we should have."
……
Xiao Xiao took the teacup handed to him by Boss Bai and said, "Thank you."
He took a sip of tea.
Then he put down the tea cup.
……
The old man smiled.
He looked at his son and said, "Okay, tell me what you have to do with me, old man."
……
Finally getting to the point, Boss Bai put the jade ball in his hand on the coffee table in front of him.
The old man was slightly startled.
"Aren't you going to return the jade ball to me again?"
Boss Bai's emotions froze.
"No."
He has some tough words.
Then he took a deep breath and his voice slowed down a bit.
"Dad, look."
……
The jade ball on the coffee table is divided into two halves in the middle.
The old man suddenly opened his eyes wide.
A look of surprise.
……
"Dad, you don't know?"
The old man's expression said everything, but Boss Bai still confirmed it out loud.
"...I don't know."
The old man shook his head.
He picked up a semicircular piece of jade and looked at it carefully, rubbing the incision with his fingers.
……
I really don't know.
Boss Bai was not surprised at all by the old man's answer.
After all, if the old man had known this a long time ago, he wouldn't have told him beforehand.
I already gave him the jade ball, why don't I tell him this?
……
"Dad, where did your jade ball come from?"
Boss Bai's face didn't look very good.
However, after the initial surprise, the expression on the old man's face quickly returned to calm.
"This jade ball... originally belonged to your grandfather."
"Grandpa?"
Boss Bai was startled.
Was it really guessed by Master Xiao before?
……
"Yeah."
The old man nodded, his face showing a hint of being lost in memories, "That year, I almost had a car accident."
"The injury is not serious."
"Of course, it can't be compared to the time your kid was stabbed five years ago."
Boss Bai:......
……
"But I also stayed in the hospital for ten days and a half."
That was his longest stay in the hospital.
The old man was quite emotional.
"After being discharged from the hospital, your grandfather gave me this jade ball."
"It is said to be an amulet that can keep you safe."
"Ah!"
Boss Bai whispered.
This familiar sense of sight...
……
As if he knew what Boss Bai was thinking, the old man smiled and said, "Maybe this will become a tradition in our family."
Boss Bai twitched his lips.
hehe.
……
"When your grandfather gave me the jade ball, I had just started working."
"It took five years to have you."
"It's no wonder you don't know that this jade ball originally belonged to your grandfather."
The old man picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
……
Boss Bai was a little puzzled, "Then why didn't you tell me?"
I obviously chatted with him so much about jade balls, but why was this point never mentioned?
……
"I forgot."
What the old man said was very reasonable.
Boss Bai reached out and touched his beating eyebrows.
"Oh, really?"
……
"It's not an important thing."
The old man sneered. "This jade ball has been in my hand for too long."
"If you hadn't asked me that, I wouldn't have remembered that your grandfather gave me this jade ball in the first place."
……
"Does grandpa know that the jade ball is like this?"
Boss Bai didn’t dwell on the former issue either.
……
The old man frowned and thought, "Maybe... you don't know, right?"
"If your grandfather knew, he wouldn't give it to me."
"I won't give it to you either."
……
Boss Bai couldn't sit still.
He looked at Xiao Xiao, "Master Xiao..."
Xiao Xiao nodded.
Boss Bai stood up and said, "Dad, let's go to grandpa's place."
"Master Xiao, let's go."
……
"Huh?"
The old man sent them downstairs.
When we arrived at the door, we looked at each other with the old lady in the yard.
……
"My son left in such a hurry again?"
The old lady walked to the old man's side.
"Yeah."
The old man shook his head with some dissatisfaction, "It's really frizzy."
"How old are you...my own children are so old..."
"Okay."
The old lady interrupted the old man's nagging rudely, "My son is not here."
"He can't even hear what you say."
"I can't bear to hear this from you."
"You-"
The old man choked a little.
……
"So, what does your son want from you?"
The old lady looked curious, "I saw him coming here in such a hurry, I thought he would stay for a while."
Why did you leave again so soon?
"And what happened to his friend?"
"This is the first time I have seen my son bring back such a young friend"
"They are friends, right?"
……
"Who knows."
The old man frowned when he thought of his son's name for the young man.
"If you are so curious, call your son later and ask him to come over for dinner and ask."
……
"It turns out you don't know anything."
The old lady's somewhat disgusting tone made the old man lose his face a bit, "Your son has only been here for such a short time, what can I know?"
"I didn't ask anything."
"The boy left in a hurry."
……
"Where is he going in such a hurry?"
The old lady murmured.
"Go to his grandpa."
The old man looked at the old lady and said, "Don't forget to ask your son to come over for dinner."
After saying that, the old man turned around and entered the house with his hands behind his back.
The old lady shook her head in a funny way, "Don't you want to know too?"
But...
"Went to the child's grandfather..."
The old lady rubbed her temples.
never mind.
If you don’t understand, don’t think about it.
Just ask your son when the time comes.
……
Boss Bai's grandfather lives in another small villa in this community.
The old man is eighty-nine this year.
It will be my ninetieth birthday soon.
At such an old age, the Bai family was originally worried about him living alone.
Boss Bai’s grandmother passed away just a year ago.
As soon as the funeral was over, the Bai family tried every possible means to persuade the old man to live with them.
The old man disagreed.
He said he was used to living in this house.
I don’t have a few years left, so I won’t have the trouble of moving around.
Everyone couldn't resist the old man, so they could only comply with the old man's wishes.
They are all in the same community.
Even if there is some distance, it is still limited.
If anything happens on the way, it won't waste much time.
……
"We're here."
Boss Bai stepped forward and opened the courtyard door.
He knew that during the day, the door to his grandfather's yard was basically unlocked.
