Lin Zitan was shocked when he saw Aunt Lao Hei, to a little nervous at this moment, and he had adjusted his emotions slightly, because the road from Emma's house was really not far away, Lin Zitan did not go back to the apartment, but chose to follow Aunt Lao Hei directly.

Because Emma kept meeting Lin Zitan before this aunt would often cover for her to come to her apartment, Lin Zitan still had a good impression of this old black aunt, and specially asked Emma to bring her a gift on Thanksgiving.

But despite this, Lin Zitan still has a feeling that the ugly daughter-in-law is going to see her in-laws, oh no, she should leave her feet and her son-in-law is going to see her father-in-law, uh, although he is going to see his in-laws.

Emma told him that her father had emigrated to China since her mother's death, so she occasionally visited her father in the mainland, and she only lived with her grandfather in the United States.

Lin Zitan has never specifically inquired about what his grandfather does, let alone what industry his father-in-law does in China, because these are insignificant things to him.

Especially when Lin Zitan's career is becoming more and more successful, and he has slowly entered the so-called upper circle through unremitting efforts, he feels that the other party's family is not important to him at all, the important thing is that the two people can truly love each other and appreciate each other.

Lin Zitan has never hidden anything from Emma, his own educational background, his career development and future plans, Emma is clear, because like an old man in the twilight, he often holds Emma and looks forward to the future of the two of them, and strives to enjoy the present they have.

From Lin Zitan's apartment building to Emma's grandfather's luxury villa worth forty or fifty million, it was only about five minutes to walk, so without waiting for Lin Zitan to think too much in his head, they had already arrived at No. 33 East 74th Street.

This beautiful 33-foot-wide townhome is nestled on one of the most coveted tree-lined streets on the Upper East Side.

Lin Zitan remembers that the villa was designed by the famous architect Grosvenor Atterbury in 1901, with five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms, and a four-story building with a total height of more than 10,000 square feet.

The entire villa has the privacy and exclusivity of a detached house, while offering all the conveniences of a full apartment-style service.

Sure enough, when Lin Zitan followed the nanny across the iron gate that was waiting for Emma outside the door on weekdays, there was a special doorman standing guard 24 hours a day, and when they came in, the doorman immediately got up and gave them an English-style hat salute.

Lin nodded calmly, showed a faint smile, and followed Aunt Hei through the stunning entrance foyer finished in Chambord limestone and polished plaster, and then stepped on the 5-inch-wide white oak floor.

What Lin Zitan didn't expect was that there was a very wide central control elevator in such a four-story building, which carried them straight to the second floor.

The 12-foot ceiling makes you feel like you're not in a home, it's like a church, with a wide view and light, and a beautifully carved wood-burning fireplace in the middle of the living room against the wall.

The décor of the living room is a mix of modern elegance and timeless luxury, and a classical grand piano is placed behind the fireplace leading to the balcony, which looks like a product of some age.

On the wall directly opposite the fireplace, there is a modern painting of a forest full of red flowers, a bit like the kapok trees in southern China. Facing the elevator door is a large balcony connected by floor-to-ceiling windows, and the balcony is full of greenery.

Like in my apartment, the fully enclosed balcony space should be full of flowers and plants planted by Emma herself, mainly with evergreen plants in all seasons, which makes Lin Zitan feel more intimate.

"Mr. Johnson is in the study, please come this way. Aunt Lao Hei raised her hand and pointed to the right, Lin Zitan hurriedly withdrew his gaze, and followed the aunt to the closed log-colored carved door on the right hand.

-----------------

"Knock knock~"

Aunt Lao Hei raised her hand and knocked on the door gently, Lin Zitan's heart suddenly became nervous with the knocking sound, this is Emma's grandfather, there will be nothing inappropriate about him, right?

What if the old man is not satisfied with himself, or forces himself to be separated from Emma?

It wasn't until now that Lin Zitan began to worry, he was quite confident all the way here, and it wasn't until this moment that he began to feel a little worried, especially after seeing this luxurious villa......

"Come in" came from a voice that was not very loud, and it sounded a little weak.

The old black nanny cautiously opened the door and made a gesture of invitation to Lin Zitan, and she herself closed the door and went out after he entered.

"Hello~ I'm Lin Zitan. Lin Zitan respectfully half-bent down and bowed inside.

"Young man, come in~" Unexpectedly, after hearing his words, the old gentleman tried to raise his voice a little.

At this time, Lin Zitan found that there was a pavilion door in this study, and he began to bow at the entrance, and he was a little embarrassed at the moment, but he thought that the old man didn't see it, so he hurriedly raised his feet and walked in.

"Are you the kid who tricked my granddaughter into staying home every night?"

After Lin Zitan entered, he saw the direction where the old man was and quickly bowed his head again, and when he looked up, he finally saw the face of old Johnson clearly, with snow-white hair, and his face looked very kind, about 70 years old, but his eyes were very sharp and bright.

"Hello, my name is Lin Zitan~" Lin Zitan didn't know what to say, and stupidly reported his name, but he couldn't help but scold himself as a pig's head in his heart.

"......" didn't expect that after old Johnson listened to his words, he was silent for a while, and then said lightly:

"Don't be nervous boy, I'm not an antique, and I never interfere with children's free love. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Johnson~" Lin Zitan hurriedly bowed his head and bowed halfway.

"Alright, I didn't call you here to ask you about it, sit down!" said Old Johnson, gesturing to the armchair across from his desk.

"Thank you~" Lin Zitan nodded again in line with the principle of courtesy and not blame.

"You can see that you are a sensible child, and Emma has known you for almost two years, right?" said old Johnson.

Lin Zitan pondered in his heart, if he started counting from the plane, it would have been more than two years, but he thought that the old man probably knew later, so he quickly nodded and said yes.

"Hmm~ Actually, after Emma met you, she was in a much more cheerful mood, unlike the ones she talked about before...... cough~" The old man said this, as if he felt that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly coughed in disguise.

Before the two of them were together, Lin Zitan heard Emma say that she had two boyfriends, so now listening to the old man, he didn't have any special feelings, especially when he was with Emma, he found out that she was the first time!

This discovery made him secretly happy for a long time, but he didn't dare to ask Emma, and he didn't know who to share it with, so he kept it in his heart and secretly had fun, and when he heard the old man say what Emma had talked about before, he didn't care at all!

"Did Emma tell you about her own background?" Johnson saw that Lin Zitan's expression was so indifferent, so he cleared his throat and continued.

"It's Emma's little secret, and if the time comes, I'm sure she'll tell me herself. Lin Zitan finally had a chance to express his thoughts, so he straightened his nervous mind and replied safely.

"You are indeed a calm enough child, but I still have to tell you that Emma is not exactly what you see. Old Johnson pondered for a moment and finally spoke again.
