Chapter 1339 Grandfather and Grandson
Moreover, since money and property were involved, whether for the sake of the children or the Xiao family, it would be better for them to keep their subsequent conversation secret.

"Shall we go to the upstairs box to talk?"

Xiao Xiao asked.

"Chatting in the box?"

The old man frowned, his guard increased a little, "Why do we have to go to the box to chat?"

"Is there anything you can't say here?"

"You are such a strange young man. You came here for no apparent reason..."

"It's about your grandson."

The old man's voice stopped suddenly.

His mouth opened, "…about my grandson?"

"What's up with my grandson?"

The old man leaned forward slightly, putting his whole body on guard.

"Are you sure you want to talk here?"

Faced with the old man's doubts and unkindness, Xiao Xiao's attitude remained as polite and gentle as at the beginning.

The old man hesitated.

He had no choice but to be cautious when it came to matters concerning his precious grandson.

He raised his eyes and looked around.

There are not many tea drinkers, but there are quite a few too.

The old man just now was playing chess with someone, and there were many other old people around him.

But it is very quiet.

Everyone was conscious of not disturbing other guests.

The clear and mellow tea aroma, the crisp sound of chess pieces hitting the chessboard, the low laughter of tea drinkers...

The peaceful and tranquil scene made the old man relax a little.

"……it is good."

He agreed.

The young man's behavior made him realize that what the young man was going to say about his grandson was probably not something good.

He was very confused about this.

His grandson...had he gotten into some trouble that he didn't know about?
……

"please."

Xiao Xiao led the way for the old man.

"grandfather?"

The child looked left and right curiously, but was held tightly by the old man's hand and could not run around.

"grandfather?"

The child shook his hands, wanting the old man to let go.

The old man held the child's hand tighter. "Be quiet."

The old man's slightly serious tone calmed the child down.

But besides curiosity, there was also a bit of doubt and grievance in his eyes.

……

Xiao Xiao didn't care about the old man's alertness.

He also knew that his invitation was a bit abrupt.

"Please come in."

Xiao Xiao pushed open the door of the box.

Behind the open door, the old man saw the wide-open wooden lattice windows and heard the faint noise of the street. He felt relieved.

……

"Please take a seat."

After the old man sat down, Xiao Xiao sat opposite him.

"grandfather?"

The child sitting inside twisted his body and tried to get out from under the table, but the old man grabbed his arm.

"do not move."

"This big brother has something to tell you."

"Sit down."

"Oh."

The child responded aggrievedly, "Big brother, what do you want to tell me?"

The old man also looked at the young man in front of him.

He wanted to hear what this young man wanted to say by inviting the grandfather and grandson to the box.
……

"Little guy, did you run into the yard behind the teahouse the last time you came here?"

Even when facing children, Xiao Xiao did not lay the groundwork too much, but went straight to the point.

"courtyard?"

The old man was stunned, but he reacted quickly, "Your yard?"

"Yes."

Xiao Xiao nodded.

The old man's face darkened, "Chenchen, did you really run into someone else's yard last time?"

The child counted on his fingers, a puzzled expression on his face, "I don't know."

"There are white plum trees and a pond in the yard."

Xiao Xiao mentioned two iconic sights, "Do you remember them?"

The child's eyes lit up, and he remembered, "Ah, Bai Mei."

"Bai Mei is so beautiful."

"I wanted to pick white plums."

The child looked regretful.

The old man frowned, "Did your kindergarten teacher teach you to take care of flowers and plants?"

"We can't just pick wild flowers and plants, let alone those that are specially grown at home?"

"Also, how can you go to someone's house without the owner's permission?"

"You kid."

The old man shook his head.

Then he looked at the young man in front of him with an apologetic look, "I'm sorry, this kid has caused you trouble."

My grandson is coveting the white plums in someone else's yard. Isn't it obvious whether he has entered the yard or not?

"Chenchen, apologize to big brother."

The old man patted the child's head gently.

"Oh."

The little boy was a little confused after being scolded by his grandfather, and his voice was a little weak, "I'm sorry."

"Chen Chen."

The old man's voice sank.

The child has not yet realized his mistake.

"Apologize sincerely."

Seeing that his grandfather was about to get angry, the little boy pursed his lips and tangled his fingers together.

".I'm sorry, big brother."

There was a hint of sob in the little boy's voice.

"Sorry for what?"

But the old man didn't let the little boy pass the level so easily.

He dotes on his grandson, but he will never be careless when it comes to educating him.

".I shouldn't have run into my big brother's yard by myself."

The little boy said in a low voice.

"anything else?"

After waiting for a while and seeing that the little boy didn't say anything else, the old man asked again.

"besides?"

The little boy looked at the old man blankly, "No more."

Then the little boy thought of something, and a look of grievance appeared on his face, "I didn't pick the white plums."

"The plum tree threw me off."

The old man was stunned, then his face was full of worry.

Did the plum tree throw the child off?
This child must have fallen down by himself.

"You fell out of the tree?"

"Are you hurt?"

The old man took the child's hand and examined it. "Why didn't you tell me that you fell from the tree before?"

"I forgot."

The child looked innocent.

"Can you forget this?"

The old man didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Isn’t this child’s heart too big?

"Aren't you in any pain?"

"No pain."

The little boy shook his head, "I'm fine."

"It seemed like something caught it when it fell."

His thin eyebrows were tangled together, and the little boy couldn't figure out what caught him.

"As long as it's okay, it'll be okay."

The old man paid no attention to the child's childish talk.

He examined the child's body carefully and found that there was no injury at all, just as the child had said.

Not even a scratch.

"I'm lucky this time."

The old man breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned, "Don't be so reckless next time."

"Very dangerous."

"Oh."

The little boy responded obediently.

"anything else?"

The old man reminded the little boy.

The little boy slowly raised his head and looked at Xiao Xiao, "Big brother, I shouldn't have wanted to pick the white plums."

"sorry."

Xiao Xiao shook his head.

He looked at the old man, "I don't want to pursue the matter of Chenchen entering my yard."

"Before, there were occasional children who couldn't sit still in the teahouse and ran into my yard."

"We also know these kids didn't do it on purpose."

"Just a few reminders."

"but-"

Xiao Xiao looked at the little boy who turned his head and looked around, "This kid took something from the yard."
