Chapter 48: The Old Man’s Favoritism (2)

Even though today he’s wearing just a simple casual outfit, there’s a natural aura of authority and intimidation around him.

Song Qingwan has always been quite afraid of Grandpa.

Not only because Grandpa’s methods are too ruthless and he is too cold and heartless, but also because she is not his biological child.

So whenever she sees Grandpa, she never feels close to him.

Facing Grandpa, she feels like a subordinate facing a leader, when Grandpa says one, she absolutely doesn’t dare say two.

Song Qingwan was brought into the Lu Family by her brother, who is Lu Junhan’s father, Lu Qidong.

Lu Qidong was ten years old at that time, he went to an amusement park and happened to meet the abandoned Song Qingwan, who was only five then. Without her parents, she simply couldn’t survive.

Her brother couldn’t bear it and that’s why he persuaded Grandpa to adopt her.

Grandpa is someone who values males over females, and since she is not his biological child, Grandpa regards her with even more disdain.

If it weren’t for her brother constantly pleading with Grandpa, she might not have been able to enter the Lu Family and would have died outside long ago.

So when she heard that her brother died in a car accident, Song Qingwan didn’t even think twice and gave up her studies abroad to learn business anew, raising her brother’s children alone.

When she was young, Grandpa didn’t think highly of her, and even when he spoke to her, it was cold, without any emotion, like a cold venomous snake.

She was deathly afraid of Grandpa. Besides her brother, there’s probably not a single child who wouldn’t fear a man as cold and ruthless as that.

In short, seeing Grandpa is like a mouse seeing a cat, avoiding him whenever possible.

Fortunately, Grandpa didn’t want to see her either, and since he was rarely home, they managed to peacefully coexist for over a decade.

After growing up, she moved out, and had even less contact with Grandpa, but his stern and cold image remained engrained in her heart.

Grandpa’s mind is stubborn, most valuing males over females, never with a good face for girls, something Song Qingwan knows well!

So, this time visiting the old house, upon hearing Grandpa specifically asked Li Li over, Song Qingwan was very anxious.

Song Qingwan knew the little girl was bold, so before coming in, she warned the little girl a lot, telling her not to speak carelessly later, to avoid making her great-grandpa angry.

The little girl nodded ignorantly.

Song Qingwan saw this, sighed, and said no more, only asking Lu Junhan to walk ahead.

After all, this brat Lu Junhan isn’t afraid of Grandpa, best to use him as a shield.

Then, she slowly walked behind, holding the little girl’s hand.

"What are you eating?"

Grandpa’s eyes were sharp and immediately noticed Lu Junhan had something in his mouth.

Lu Junhan sat down on the sofa, his expression unchanged, "Candy."

As he spoke, the air was filled with a sweet, milky aroma.

The man couldn’t help but frown slightly.

Grandpa’s eyebrows furrowed deeply, his old voice robust and brimming with anger: "Spit it out immediately! Acting so unruly, what do you think you’re doing!"

Grandpa is still so rigid and feudal, his voice like thunder, Song Qingwan was so scared she straightened her back, then looked anxiously at the little girl beside her.

The little girl showed no fear on her face, only widened her eyes in curiosity, looking at Grandpa. She obviously wanted to see what Daddy’s Daddy’s Daddy, or however many Daddy’s Grandpa is, was like.

Song Qingwan was relieved to see this.

"Hey, look at you, Junhan barely comes home once, how can you be so loud with him again."

At this moment, Liu Huilan came out of the kitchen with a fruit platter.

Passing by Song Qingwan and Lu Li, she didn’t even glance at them, as if they didn’t exist, directly placing the fruit platter on the coffee table, then looked up and smiled kindly at Lu Junhan:

"Junhan, though Grandpa is so strict with you, it’s really because he cares about you."

Song Qingwan’s face turned cold immediately upon seeing her.
