Chapter 46: This is obviously a token of love, right?
In the study, Old Man Yu sat on the chair behind the desk, bowed his head and took the key to open his drawer door.
After opening the drawer, he pulled out a round box of mahogany lacquer.
As if he was holding a rare treasure, Old Man Yu was holding the box and was reluctant to put it down for a long time.
His old pleated hands gently caressed the body of the box as if they were caressing his lover's cheeks.
It wasn't until he sighed heavily that he handed the box over.
Yu Xiubai's expression was serious, as the eldest grandson of the Yu family, he naturally knew what the contents of this box were and how valuable they were.
He stretched out his hands to pick it up, but he didn't want to, and Old Man Yu directly retracted his hand.
Yu Xiubai: "...... Grandpa?"
Old Man Yu held the box in his arms in distress and glared at Yu Xiubai, "I gave it to Tian Xin, not for you, what are you in a hurry to take it?"
ββ¦β¦β
Tian Xin: "...... Give it to me?"
Old Man Yu took a deep look at the red box again, as if someone was going to snatch it from him.
His reluctant look made Tian Xin even more puzzled.
She raised her eyes to look at Yu Xiubai, who just lightly gave her a reassuring look.
Inexplicably, the tension in my heart has really decreased a lot.
Look, Yu Xiubai...... You are still so important in my heart!
One look from you can give me a lot of motivation and courage.
It's a pity...... There is no going back between us!
"Grandpa. β
Yu Xiubai shouted, and the old man came back to his senses.
In his eyes, there was a hint of relief and a hint of sadness.
Finally, he handed the box to Tian Xin.
Tian Xin hesitated and didn't answer.
She asked, "Grandpa Yu, ...... this?"
"Hurry up and take it, I won't be reluctant for a while. β
"Since it's so valuable, I'm ......"
"It's not precious, it's just that this thing has some other meaning. β
After finishing speaking, the old man seemed to be afraid that he would regret it, and directly stuffed it into Tian Xin's hand.
Shocked, Tian Xin almost let go, and he immediately shouted: "Don't let go! I'll be angry if I let go!"
Tian Xin: "......"
She looked at Yu Xiubai helplessly, at this time, she could only pin her hopes on this goods.
However...... It's not useful.
Yu Xiubai didn't help at all, but looked at Tian Xin with an unfathomable look.
That posture of watching the show made Tian Xin can't help but roll his eyes at him.
She rolled her eyes, and she was arrogant and a little laughing and tempered in it, which made Yu Xiubai can't help but hook her lips.
Old man Yu watched the interaction between the two juniors, not only did he not feel that Tian Xin had anything wrong, but felt that she gradually brought out Yu Xiubai's true self.
At least, the grandson, who had been cold for eight years, began to have other expressions on his face.
Old Man Yu coughed dryly, interrupting the line of sight between the two people.
Tian Xin was a little embarrassed, and quickly turned around to face the old man.
She still wanted to refuse this expensive gift, however, the old man stuffed everything into her palm, and she wanted to push it out again, it would be too disrespectful to the old man.
Although the old man Yu was a little frightened when he saw her, he still accepted what he "sent" out.
Then he said with a happy face, "Open it and take a look." β
Tian Xin's heart refused! The relationship between her and Yu Xiubai fell apart after half a year, is it really good to pick up such a heartfelt thing from the old man at this time?
Moving his feet, Tian Xin stepped on Yu Xiubai's leather shoes fiercely.
Yu Xiubai didn't even lift her eyelids, and let her step on them.
In the end, she could only open the box helplessly.
Thinking of Old Man Yu's gentle movements, Tian Xin also opened the lid of the round box very carefully as if he was guarding his own treasure.
The box was flipped open, revealing two crystal clear jade pendants inside.
It's better to say it's two, but it's better to say one.
Merely...... It was obviously divided into two, Tian Xin couldn't help frowning when he saw this.
This is obviously a token of love, right?
No wonder the old man was so reluctant just now, she looked up in some surprise and looked at the tenderness in the old man's eyes.
Tian Xin asked softly, "Grandpa Yu, is this ...... Do you have a token of your love affair with Grandma Yu?"
When the old man heard this, he immediately showed a slightly shy smile.
This kind of look is really extremely rare to appear on the old man's face.
Tian Xin was stunned, and Yu Xiubai still looked very indifferent, seeing that Tian Xin really wanted to pinch his face to see if she could give him a different expression.
"This one...... It was the only most valuable thing on my body back then, and it could be used as a token for your grandmother, this is my family heirloom jade pendant, I broke it directly, at that time, the war was chaotic, and my bandit village became the main target of those warlords. I had to settle her somewhere else, otherwise I would be easily distracted by the danger of taking her with me......"
Listening to Old Man Yu tell about the past of him and Grandma Yu, Tian Xin listened very attentively.
Perhaps, the juniors of the other grandchildren of the Yu family are tired of hearing about the old man's old past, but for Tian Xin, she has never seen her grandparents and grandparents since she was a child, and the only image of the elders in her heart is undoubtedly not the grandfather in front of her who loved her very much when she was a child.
Therefore, listening to the old man Yu tell the story back then, not only did she not feel that he was very angry, but she would look forward to the story that happened to him.
Old man Yu saw Tian Xin's big bright eyes, blinking at him, listening attentively.
immediately gestured to Yu Xiubai with his eyes, and Yu Xiubai turned around and moved the soft chair that the old man next to him was sitting on when he was playing chess and moved it over for Tian Xin to sit down.
After Tian Xin sat down, she listened to the old man tell the story, and occasionally when she was excited, she would ask a few questions.
This kind of picture of grandparents getting along can't help but make Yu Xiubai's thoughts fly to many years ago......
"So, later, I came to Jiangcheng with your grandmother Yu and set the foundation of the Yu family here, and we made an appointment that this pair of jade pendants will be passed on in the future. We passed it on to Xiubai's father, and now ...... and to you. I hope you can be like this jade pendant, it seems that it has been broken, but ...... As long as you have the heart, you can meet again and be together again. β
But...... Grandpa, you don't know, no matter how you fit it, there is still a crack on it.
Tian Xin pursed his lips and didn't speak, just nodded and said, "Thank you, grandpa." β
Old man Yu probably thought about his old wife who died early, and his emotions were a little surging for a while, his eyes were slightly red, and after tilting his head to ease himself, he waved his hand to them and said: "Okay, old man, I'm a little tired, I need to go back to my room to rest for a while, you don't have to accompany my bad old man." β
After finishing speaking, he looked at Yu Xiubai again.
"Xiubai, you take Tian Xin around. β
"Grandpa...... I plan to get engaged to Tian Xin within a week. β
"In such a hurry?"
"It was hard to wait for her to come back, I don't want to lose this opportunity, I have to hurry. β
Tian Xin's heart trembled inexplicably, even if she knew that he said this, just to make each other's fake marriage look more convincing, she still couldn't help but tremble for his words.
Old Man Yu looked at them, sighed and said, "Then look at the nearby days, engagement is a big deal, and you can't act rashly." β
"Grandpa, in fact, I ...... with Yu Xiu"
Tian Xin was anxious and wanted to tell Old Man Yu that they were not going to hold a big engagement banquet, and he even changed his name unconsciously.
Yu Xiubai took her hand and didn't let her continue.
His face sank, and then he took Tian Xin's words, and asked the old man in a somewhat inquiring tone: "Grandpa, do you think this is okay? At the celebration banquet of the Yu family next week, many celebrities will be invited, so why don't you announce it at that time, the news of the engagement between me and Tian Xin, how about holding a ceremony?"
When Old Man Yu heard this, his sharp eyes suddenly burst out with a ray of light.
swept directly on Tian Xin and Yu Xiubai's bodies, Tian Xin was nervous, for fear that the old man would notice any flaws.
After all, he was the boss of hundreds of bandits and bandits back then, and he was called a quasi!
The little Jiujiu in their hearts, maybe the old man would have seen it a long time ago, but he didn't break it......
After looking the two of them back and forth, the old man said, "How was the day of the celebration banquet?"
"Well, if I can be selected by my father as the opening celebration banquet of the real estate, the days must be good. β
"That'...... Tian Xin's family, have you all discussed it?"
"Uncle Tian, I have communicated with him in the morning, and he has no problem. It's just that Uncle Tian has a request. β
Hearing this, Tian Xin raised his eyes and looked at Yu Xiubai in some surprise.
Apparently...... She was a little worried that Yu Xiubai would aim the low-key engagement at her father.
And Yu Xiubai said: "Uncle Tian is such a daughter, he has no other requirements, he just hopes that our Yu family can treat her well." What he means is also one yard to one yard, if because of his relationship, the people of our Yu family will be difficult for Tian Xin, he would rather go bankrupt than let Tian Xin be with me!"
How shrewd was Old Man Yu? I immediately understood the meaning of these words.
He frowned, sitting in the massage chair, he had a cool personality that did not fit his age.
"Bankrupt, what does it have to do with Tian Xin and you, what deal did you make with him?"
"He is worried, I will use the Tian clan to threaten Tian Xin. β
"Do you have one?"
"Nope!"
"Since there isn't, there's no need to worry about it being true. On the outside side, someone comes out to gossip, I will come out to sit for you, your parents' side, you still have to work hard to make them accept Tian Xin. β
Yu Xiubai nodded, "After all, my parents still have a big prejudice against Tian Xin, so I also reached a consensus with Uncle Tian." β
"What consensus?"
"This engagement banquet, we don't plan to make a big show, just that day I will bring Tian Xin as my female companion to attend, just announce it in the circle. On that day, reporters were not allowed to enter the venue, and the ** side was also guaranteed. β
"Nonsense!"
