Chapter 11
Caught In the Act
Chu Liyuan looked at the time. It was already past three in the afternoon. He wondered what that lass had been doing at home today.
Was she still feeling unwell?
He summoned Li Jing. “What’s on the schedule later?”
“You have a video conference with the French branch at 4 p.m….”
“Postpone it to tomorrow!” Chu Liyuan said.
“Okay! What other plans do you have in place?”
“Go home!” With that, he stood up and left…
Li Jing stood rooted to the ground. Over the past few days, Li Jing’s understanding had been constantly overwritten. Before today, he would never believe that there was anyone other than the senior Mr. Chu who could make Mr. Chu put down his work to deal with it…
A notorious workaholic stopped working? What charm did that young lady have to be able to beguile Mr. Chu to this extent? Amazing!
Since Mr. Chu had already gotten off work, Li Jing naturally had the rest of the day off too… Previously, it was very rare for him to knock off on time, let alone getting off work early. Therefore, taking advantage of this rare opportunity, he had to go to a nightclub to have a good time!
Chu Liyuan left the office and drove straight home… He kept thinking about that lass along the way.
As soon as the car drove into the courtyard, he heard… “Wow! This is really fun! It’s so interesting, hahahaha!”
Chu Liyuan frowned slightly and walked towards the direction of the sound… As soon as he walked over, he saw two lawn mowers chasing each other on the lawn… Then, he looked at the person on it and his expression turned grim.
He walked straight up to her…
Jian Dan saw Chu Liyuan walking over from afar.
“Pause first! Pause first!” Jian Dan made a pause gesture, then got off the lawnmower and skipped towards Chu Liyuan. “Uncle, why are you back so early?”
Jian Dan was in a good mood the moment she saw Chu Liyuan.
“Your body hasn’t recovered yet. Why are you outside? Do you still want to have a fever?” Chu Liyuan said in a slightly reprimanding tone.
Was he worried about her?
“No! I’ve been cooped up in the room all day. I was so bored that I wanted to come out for a breather. I didn’t expect to see this!” Jian Dan pointed at the lawnmower behind her with an excited expression.
“Uncle, do you know? In the past, I’ve only seen this in some European and American movies… Not only can it be used to mow the lawn, but it can also be used for racing. But I’ve never seen it in real life. I just tried it. It’s really super fun!” Jian Dan looked at Chu Liyuan with her big bright eyes and said excitedly.
“Uncle, do you want to try? It’s really fun!” Jian Dan suggested to Chu Liyuan.
“You haven’t recovered from your illness yet and you’re already thinking about playing. Let’s see who will suffer when you get sick.” Chu Liyuan tapped on Jian Dan’s head.
“Uncle, I was wrong!” Jian Dan saw that Chu Liyuan seemed to be a little angry, so she pulled her ears and blinked at Chu Liyuan.
“You brat, you’re clearly concerned about her. Why can’t you talk nicely?” The other player from the lawnmower competition walked over at this moment…
What was going on?
Jian Dan looked at Uncle Yuan…
Were all butlers so powerful now? He actually…
“Grandpa!”
Grandpa? What was this? What had she missed?
“Jian Jian, this is my grandfather!” Chu Liyuan introduced.
“Grandpa…” Jian Dan snapped out of her reverie.
The butler became Grandpa in an instant?
And she actually did not notice it. Now that she thought about it, no wonder the staff were extremely respectful to him. It turned out that…
She really had not been the sharpest tool in the shed recently.
“Hello, Grandpa! Why didn’t you tell me?” Jian Dan asked.
Although she was embarrassed, she had to pretend to be calm on the surface.
“Jian Jian, go to the dining room first. I have something to say to Grandpa,” Chu Liyuan said.
“Okay!” Jian Dan reluctantly went to the dining room…
What did Uncle want to say to Grandpa? Why was she not allowed to listen?
However, Uncle and Uncle Yuan… Ah! No, it’s Grandpa. Why is there no resemblance at all? Be it their looks or personalities, there’s no resemblance at all.
