Chapter One Hundred: Speechless Du Lao

  The 100th one, seeking recommendations and rewards~~~~~

  "Smile, you're still smiling, don't you see what state Grandpa is in?" Old Du looked at his smiling granddaughter, his eyebrows and beard bristling with anger.

  "Hehe, Grandpa, this isn't your fault, it's mine." Du Xiaoqing said with a smile.

  "It's not your fault, who else can be blamed? Are you going to blame me instead?" Du Lao said with an unpleasant expression.

  He had just been scolded by his wife at home for half a day, and he was really helpless. He ran here to avoid the storm and calm down, but unexpectedly, when he arrived here, he was laughed at by his granddaughter again. Du Lao was thoroughly depressed, it seemed that I was just a bullied person.

  "Hehe, of course it's your fault." Du Xiaoqing continued to smile and say, not showing any signs of being an iceberg beauty at all, but rather like a fallen elf bringing all good things to the world.

  Unfortunately, this beautiful scenery fell only in the eyes of Du Lao alone, and others were not fortunate enough to enjoy it. This was also the most satisfying place for Du Lao. Although his granddaughter was cold as ice to others, she was different with him, being more affectionate than she was with her own parents.

  "Oh, well, you'd better come up with a one-two-three plan this time, or I'll strip you of your CEO title." Du Lao was not going to let go of any opportunity he could use, and he had made up his mind to pull his granddaughter down from the CEO position. If he didn't do it soon, who knows what she would become in the future? And then the hope of holding a great-grandchild would be gone forever.

  Although that would result in a significant loss of assets, in Du's eyes, the company was not as important as his own granddaughter. The company had so much money that he couldn't even count it all, and besides, he had lived for most of his life already, and had come to see things clearly - you can't take money with you when you're born or when you die, so what's the point of having so much? And as for his granddaughter, if he didn't spoil her, who would he spoil?

  Besides, the son has grown up and he can't control him anymore, nor does he want to. He doesn't want a good company, but instead wants to be an official. Although he is now the provincial governor, Du Lao still looks down on his son and scolds him every few days, making his son not dare to return home.

  Now he is concerned about his granddaughter's marriage, and he doesn't want his old partner to really die with her eyes open.

  "Hum, bad grandfather, you're so eager for your granddaughter to get married, don't you like me anymore?" Du Xiaoqing's eyes were filled with tears, looking pitiful.

  "Ah! Look at you, here we go again." Old Du looked at his granddaughter with a mixture of annoyance and resignation. Every time he brought up this topic with her, she would respond in the same way, and every time he would fall for it.

  "Alright, stop changing the subject, speak up quickly, otherwise I'll dismiss you right away." Du Lao turned his head around, not looking at Sun Nu's teary eyes, and said ruthlessly.

  "Hmph." Du Xiaoqing saw that this move didn't work, let out a light hum, stretched out her hand to grab one of Old Man Du's whiskers, then, with a burst of strength, gave it a fierce tug...

  "Ah! You little scamp, Grandpa only has a few strands of whiskers left and you still manage to pluck them out. It hurts me to death!" Old Du said, covering his chin, half in physical pain and half in heartache.

  "Hmph, serves you right. Who let you always think of depriving me and my granddaughter of our fun? If you do this again, I'll pluck out all your whiskers one by one." Du Xiao Ying's eyes gleamed with a menacing light as she gazed at Old Du's whiskers, seemingly pondering where to start.

  "Hey, hey, kiddo! We gentlemen use our mouths not our fists. We should win people over with virtue, not resort to physical attacks." Old Du looked at his eager granddaughter and said with a lingering fear in his heart. This granddaughter had always been one to put her words into action, and he was worried that the beard he had finally managed to grow would be doomed.

  "Hmph, sorry about that. I'm not a gentleman, I'm a lady. When have you ever seen a woman make sense?" Du Xiaoqing said nonchalantly and with conviction.

  Du Lao

  "This is indeed a case of a scholar meeting a soldier, with reason that cannot be explained. How come I'm the one who gets hurt every time? Next time, whoever falls in love will come, anyway, I won't be coming." Old Du thought to himself as he looked at his granddaughter, who was now full of vigor and had a bandit-like demeanor.

  "Hey, Grandpa, do you want me to tell you a secret? " Du Xiaoqing said with a mischievous grin, staring at Du Lao's beard, making him feel uneasy and hurriedly covering his beard, mumbling indistinctly.

  "No... don't anymore."

  "Ah, Grandfather, you said so yourself, and from now on, don't say it again. You're a big man, after all, and not like us young women. What you say counts." Du Xiaoqing struck the snake's head with her words, simultaneously defeating Old Man Du.

  Du Lao...

  "Oh, so it's okay for you to be unreasonable and not count your words, but if I don't count my words, then I'm not a man? That's just too unfair."

  Du Lao said indignantly.

  "What's the big deal? My words don't count, I'm not a man anyway. Isn't this fair enough?" Du Xiaoqing had an expression that said she was yielding and letting him get away with it.

  Du Lao...

  "I've seen unreasonable people before, but I've never seen anyone as unreasonable as you. You're not even a real man, and yet you look like you think you've gotten away with something big. I...I...I'm truly speechless with anger at you."

  Du Lao was so angry that he couldn't take it anymore. Is there such a thing as bullying people like this? In his haste, he even coined a new phrase " speechless".

  "Hehe, grandpa, since you're speechless now, then don't say anything else. Everyone can take a rest. Just watch how I make money for you to buy good food."

  Du Xiangying smiled slightly and said, "No wonder you have seven doctoral degrees, a high IQ talent. In just a few sentences, you can play the victim, shift concepts, provoke, threaten, and be unreasonable. This set of skills is well-honed, Du Lao has completely lost this battle."

  "Hey! Girl, it's not that Grandpa is scolding you, but at your age, you still don't have a boyfriend. Your grandma is looking forward to holding her great-grandson." Du Lao sighed and played the family card again.

  No way, my partner at home has given me an ultimatum: either you coax our granddaughter into agreeing, or you coax me out of the house. Anyway, as long as I'm at home for a day, I'll nag you for a day. You have two options to choose from.

  Facing an unreasonable partner, Du Lao was also helpless. Now he is like a mouse in the bellows, suffering from both sides. At this moment, he deeply understood the meaning of Confucius' words: "Women and small men are hard to raise."

  Facing Du Lao's family card, Du Xiaoyan slightly raised the corner of her mouth and said, "You play the family card? I'll play it too. Let's see who can outdo each other."

  "Grandfather, don't you see what kind of men they are? What makes them worthy of your granddaughter? Marrying me off to them is like pushing me into a fire pit. Can you bear to watch your granddaughter being bullied for the rest of her life?" Du Xiao Ying's tears came pouring out.

  "Ah...... I...... this......"

  Grandpa Du looked at his pitiful granddaughter, and couldn't say a word. He couldn't just watch as his granddaughter jumped into the fire pit, could he? In this battle, Grandpa Du was thoroughly defeated once again.
