    11. The past three years ago

    Fu Hengyi helplessly held his forehead, “Grandpa, she is only twenty-one.”

    “You are already thirty-one, and your grandfather and I are eighty-eight this year. It’s a pity that your parents died early, and I am the only old man left to be both father and mother. I have made you shit and pee until you are so big. Is it easy for me? Now I just want to see you get married and have children before I die, so that I can hold a fat great-grandchild. Am I asking too much? Is it too much?!”

    Mr. Fu spoke with great emotion. Sometimes he held his heart with both hands, and sometimes he covered his face and cried. He never forgot to peek at Fu Hengyi’s expression between his fingers.

    Fu Hengyi watched Mr. Fu’s 108th performance expressionlessly, feeling helpless.

    After a long time, Fu Hengyi said calmly, “I won’t consider her, but I am willing to accept the blind date arranged by you.”

    Mr. Fu stopped crying immediately, put down his hand and stared at his grandson, “What did you say?”

    Fu Hengyi was stared at in confusion. Didn’t the old man want him to go on a blind date in the past? Now that he has agreed, why is he looking like this?

    “I said I am willing to go on a blind date. Whichever famous lady you like, you can arrange it.” Fu Hengyi repeated.

    “Stop it, when will I go on a blind date for you?” Mr. Fu immediately exploded, even using the foul words he hadn’t said in a long time.

    “Aren’t you anxious to hold your great-grandson?”

    “I am anxious to hold my great-grandson, but this great-grandson must come out of girl Qinglan’s belly.”

    “Grandpa.” Fu Hengyi interrupted Mr. Fu and rubbed his eyebrows, “I told you she is only twenty-one, and I only regard her as my sister.”

    Mr. Fu was angry and glared at his grandson as if he were glaring at a class enemy. “Brother and sister, please stop trying this trick on me. I tell you, my grandson-in-law must be Qinglan girl. If it were anyone else, I will not admit it unless I die.”

    After Mr. Fu finished speaking, he threw up his sleeves and left with long steps, obviously he was really angry.

    Fu Hengyi stood there with a serious face. He couldn’t understand why his grandfather was so interested in the little girl of the Shen family. He hadn’t been home for only a year.

    To say that Mr. Fu likes Shen Qinglan so much, it started three years ago.

    After Mr. Fu retired from the army, he began to take care of himself. However, the Fu family was not prosperous. Mr. Fu only had one son and one daughter. His son was Fu Hengyi’s father, Fu Jingzhi. He and his daughter-in-law died in a mission more than 20 years ago. His daughter Fu Jingting and his son-in-law were both diplomats. They were abroad all the time.

    Mr. Fu was also a fun-loving person when he was young. Later, when he joined the army, his temper tempered a lot. However, after retirement, his temper became more and more active.

    One day three years ago, Mr. Fu went out with a guard, euphemistically saying that he wanted to experience the people’s feelings, but in fact he just wanted to go out and have fun.

    Who gives him a special status? When he goes out, no matter how low-key he is, there are many guards around him.

    It’s just that Mr. Fu didn’t read the almanac when he went out this time, and he accidentally got separated from his bodyguard. He usually doesn’t carry a wallet with him, and he doesn’t even carry a mobile phone with him. It can be said that he has no money.

    Mr. Fu actually thought about taking a taxi back, arriving at the gate of the compound, and calling someone to deliver the money, but Mr. Fu loves face, and if he did this, his old friends would definitely know about it, and they might laugh at him, and he couldn’t afford to lose face.

    It was almost noon. Mr. Fu felt his empty stomach and decided to find a nearby restaurant to eat first and wait for the guard to come back to find him.

    Mr. Fu’s prediction was correct. The guard did come back to look for him, but he just happened to enter the restaurant. The guard searched the area but couldn’t find him. He was so anxious that he sweated on his forehead. If the old leader was lost, he would be blamed for his death.

    In this way, the guard and Mr. Fu missed each other perfectly.

    Mr. Fu is not a person who would treat himself badly. Even though he didn’t have a penny, he still ordered a lot of the shop’s signature dishes.

    After he had eaten and drank enough, he waited left and right without seeing any guards coming. The waiter glanced at him from time to time, as if he was afraid that he would run away. Mr. Fu’s face was a little worried.

    It’s just that he couldn’t remember the security guard’s mobile phone number, so he couldn’t even borrow a phone from someone else to call the security guard.

    Just when Mr. Fu was scratching his head and wondering what to do, Shen Qinglan, who was sitting at the table next to he, stood up and walked directly to the counter to pay the bill, and the person who helped Mr. Fu also paid.

    Originally, Mr. Fu didn’t know, but the waiter came over, handed the two banknotes to him, pointed at Shen Qinglan’s back as he walked out of the door, and said: “The lady just paid the bill. This is your change. Please keep it.”

    It was said to be change, but it was two whole pieces. Mr. Fu was confused and looked in the direction pointed by the waiter, only to see the back of Yi Qingshou.

    Mr. Fu immediately got up and chased him out without even taking the money the waiter handed him.

    Shen Qinglan didn’t walk fast, and Mr. Fu quickly caught up with him.

    “Girl, girl, wait for me.”

    Shen Qinglan vaguely heard someone calling her from behind and stopped.

    Mr. Fu was running out of breath. He was old after all. His body in his eighties could not compare with that of a young man.

    “Girl, you walked too fast, the old man almost couldn’t keep up.” Mr. Fu muttered.

    Shen Qinglan recognized at a glance that this was the old man he met in the restaurant just now. He probably didn’t have the money to pay the bill, so he was sitting there scratching his head, and Shen Qinglan paid the bill.

    “Old man, what’s the matter with you?” Shen Qinglan asked calmly, the clearer the voice, the better.

    Mr. Fu did not expect that the girl who helped him was so young. She looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, but her demeanor was calm and did not match her age at all. “Girl, thank you just now.”

    Mr. Fu’s face turned slightly red.

    “It’s easy, don’t worry about it.”

    “Well, girl, send Buddha to the West. Well, can you do me another favor?” Mr. Fu said with a shy face.

    He is a person with a good face, and it is unprecedented for him to ask a girl he has never met before to help him.

    “You tell me.” Shen Qinglan is not a nosy person, but she always has respect for the elderly. What’s more, she sees the shadow of her grandfather in this old man.

    “The old man got separated from his family and he has no money. Can you give me a ride home?”

    Shen Qinglan thought for a while and realized that there was nothing to do today, so she nodded and agreed, “Okay. Where do you live, old man?”

    Listening to the address reported by Mr. Fu, Shen Qinglan’s eyes flashed slightly.
