Three years ago, the Young Master had ignored his grandfather’s vehement objections and had insisted on breaking his betrothal with the Xu family. In a fit of anger, the Master had told his grandson to scram, and the Young Master had moved out.

Ever since then, the relations.h.i.+p between the grandfather and the grandson had been frosty. Although the Young Master would come back periodically to visit his grandfather, Mr. Gu Sr.’s pride had prevented him from calling his grandson, regardless of how much he missed him. That was… until today.

Was it… thanks to Miss Weilai, who was fast asleep upstairs? But the Young Master would certainly not be happy to see her!

Right now, not only had the Master placed Miss Weilai in the Young Master’s room, he was asking for him to come back. The Master was playing with fire, indeed!

She couldn’t help but softly give a word of caution. “Master, are you sure?”

Mr. Gu Sr. grew annoyed at her nagging, and bluntly replied, “You talk too much! Just do as you’re told! If your Young Master doesn’t return today, you can pack your bags and move over to his place tomorrow!”

Mrs. Lin didn’t dare delay any further. She wiped the sweat off her brow and hurried over to the landline. She dialed the Young Master’s cell phone number by heart, and when the call connected, she pa.s.sed on the message.

The recipient sounded very surprised to hear her words, and was silent for a good 20 seconds before replying, “All right.”

Half an hour later, Gu Yu returned to the old manor.

Mr. Gu Sr. was seated on the couch. In his hand was a photograph that he was staring at intently. As he looked at it, he sighed, and tears appeared in his eyes.

Gu Yu walked over and sat opposite him. His eyes swept past the bottle of red wine on the table, and he frowned. He remarked dryly, “Aren’t you feeling unwell? Why are you still drinking alcohol?”
