"This girl has really thought far ahead. She's worried that I might have ulterior motives towards Ye Fan with the mission of our organization, so she temporarily and sternly refused the engagement. But to be honest, this worry is not unfounded. If I truly had ulterior motives, the situation would become tricky. If something inappropriate happens and it provokes Ye Fan, leading to unpleasant incidents, and I become the scapegoat, it will undoubtedly create many obstacles for my girl and Ye Fan to get along."
"If Ye Fan and I were to become adversaries, that would be disastrous."
"She would be caught in a dilemma, between her grandfather and Ye Fan, which is certainly not a good thing."
"It's precisely because she considered this that she maintained a cautious heart in response to my urging for an engagement."
"If I were to remove the work-related attributes and purely urge her to marry as a grandfather, then it would be understandable. Just based on my senior status, it would be reasonable to urge marriage without so many worries."
Chu Erzhu took a sip of tea, contemplating Mengyao like this. How could he not understand his granddaughter's concerns?
Honestly speaking, he indeed has a mission from the organization, but when it comes to his granddaughter's emotional affairs, he wouldn't act recklessly. He already feels he's let his family down, so he wouldn't engage in any schemes or calculations.
After some reflection, Chu Erzhu looked at Ye Fan and Mengyao and said seriously, "You two should take charge of your own relationship. The reason I pushed for the engagement was also to test your feelings for each other. Now, I've gotten a satisfactory answer."
"Thank you for your blessing and understanding, Grandpa," Mengyao said gratefully.
"What's this silly talk? As your grandfather, I just want to see you living a happy and fulfilled life," Chu Erzhu said kindly.
Chu Biyao also understood her sister's deeper considerations, and with her grandfather saying that, she happily said, "Grandpa, you shouldn't meddle too much in my sister's marriage. I believe my sister and brother-in-law can figure things out themselves."
"Can I really not interfere? You're both not getting any younger. Since Mengyao has found someone she loves, getting married and having children sooner is what's important in life." Chu Erzhu smiled kindly, then turned the conversation, "Or should I leave Mengyao's marriage alone and start worrying about yours?"
"Hehe," Chu Biyao laughed awkwardly and said, "Grandpa, I'm still waiting for the right person."
"You better hurry. You're becoming a leftover woman. Even if you're not worried, your family is," Chu Erzhu said with all the authority of an elder.
"No rush, no rush. Right now, I'm focused on my career. Matters of marriage can't be rushed," Chu Biyao said mischievously.
"You're just making excuses to brush me off. Can't you balance marriage and career?" Chu Erzhu said helplessly.
"Grandpa, stop talking about me. Matters of the heart depend on fate," Chu Biyao replied earnestly.
Zhang Lu also understood. At this moment, the person in front of her, Chu Erzhu, was genuinely a grandfather concerned for his granddaughter, urging her to marry, without any organizational mission or other calculations mixed in. Realizing this, she felt much more at ease because otherwise, there would definitely be unpleasantness.
"Ye Fan, we should find a chance to chat alone later," Chu Erzhu said, staring intently at Ye Fan.
"No problem, I'm always available," Ye Fan said calmly.
"That's settled then. When the time comes, you can't refuse," Chu Erzhu's expression was extremely serious.
"Given you're related to Mengyao and Biyao, I'll show you some respect. So rest assured, I won't disregard you. At least, I will maintain basic courtesy," Ye Fan said with interest.
"Others have respected me because of the iron facts I presented. Didn't expect that today, someone only refrains from disregarding me because of my granddaughters, only showing a little courtesy. There's no trace of respect. I understand better than anyone that to earn respect, one must rely on oneself. There're probably very few in this world who can deserve your respect."
"You're the first to speak to me like this, but you have the qualification and strength. If I weren't Mengyao's grandfather, maybe you would pay me no mind at all."
"However, now, because of my granddaughter, you give me more importance, and that itself is enough to comfort me with pride."
Chu Erzhu expressed such sentiments with complex emotions, his expression extremely serious and solemn.
"You're flattering me," Ye Fan said politely.
In reality, it wasn't that Chu Erzhu was flattering. What he said was true.
However, Ye Fan didn't consider himself of any special status. He saw himself as an ordinary person. Since Chu Erzhu was Mengyao's grandfather, he deserved basic courtesy.
Mengyao and Biyao understood that there was a lot of meaning behind the conversation between Ye Fan and their grandfather, so the sisters remained silent, patiently listening on the side.
"Blood Wolf, what kind of status is that! What kind of credentials! The current position and rank are incredibly high!"
"Originally, in Huaxia's military and political circles, he was an outstanding figure, admired and revered."
"But in front of Ye Fan, his serious demeanor seemed to understand that Ye Fan's reputation was even greater than his. So, with an attitude of reverence, Ye Fan valued him. How could Blood Wolf not feel a supreme sense of comfort and pride?"
"What's going on?"
"Could it be that Ye Fan has some other undisclosed secret identity?"
"Otherwise, why would a Human Body Limit master make Chu Erzhu act like this? Chu Erzhu is a legendary figure."
Zhang Lu was full of confusion, deeply shocked.
After chatting for a while, Chu Erzhu left first.
"Goodbye, Grandpa. Visit us often. When we have time, we'll come to see you," Mengyao and Biyao said reluctantly as they saw him off.
Chu Erzhu had his own place to stay, and the two sisters knew they'd have plenty of time to spend with their grandfather in the future, which made them quite happy.
"Today, I've really learned something. The esteemed Blood Wolf feels proud to have your attention and courtesy. This is too abnormal. All of these changes revolve around you. You must have some secret," Zhang Lu said as she leaned into Ye Fan, whispering.
She said this firmly believing that Ye Fan definitely knew who Blood Wolf was and what he represented.
Today, she was most shocked. Originally, it was enough to distribute the interests of the five big families to the Chu Group according to the agreement. Never expected to meet Blood Wolf, and even more unexpected was that the esteemed Blood Wolf seemed like a minor character in Ye Fan's presence.
This deeply shocked her, and she couldn't figure out the reason.
"There's no secret. It won't be long before you'll understand everything," Ye Fan said coolly.
