"Grandpa." Mu Shaosi, feeling a bit hungry, walked into the hall where Takahashi Ryu was sitting cross-legged on the sofa, playing chess against himself on an exquisite chessboard.
"Are you injured?" Takahashi Ryu asked lightly, holding a chess piece while frowning in thought about his next move.
"A minor injury, nothing serious."
"Go rest! Ru Yan, you stay!"
"Yes, Old Master!" The old butler followed Mu Shaosi closely to escort him back to his room.
"Yantai! Quickly tell me, did that kid Zhong Si inform that girl about his injury?" Seeing Mu Shaosi enter the inner room, Takahashi Ryu jumped off the sofa and pulled at Duan Ruyin's arm, unusually eager to inquire.
"Old Master, could you please not call me Yantai?" Duan Ruyin replied helplessly. Everyone knew that this respected Old Master was essentially a mischievous old man who always pretended to be cold and serious just to cover up his many childish antics.
"You brat, hurry up and tell me!" Takahashi Ryu huffed angrily. That kid Zhong Si secretly got married without bringing his granddaughter-in-law to see him or even telling him; did he think he could keep it from him? What a naive thought!
Takahashi Ryu had eaten more salt than Zhong Si had drunk water. If he dared to play tricks on him, he would make him regret not telling him about his marriage right away!
"Young Master Si probably didn't want Future Lady to worry and plans to return the day after tomorrow, so he didn't notify Future Lady."
"So he couldn't bear to worry her!" Takahashi Ryu stroked his graying beard, his eyes glinting with mischief. After a moment, he patted Duan Ruyin's shoulder and said, "Yantai, call that girl. I have something to say to her."
"Old Master, I think we should just forget it! Young Master Si said Future Lady is still working over there, and we shouldn't delay her work!" Duan Ruyin's expression changed suddenly. He could guess Old Master's intentions, even if he couldn't figure out everything, he knew that Old Master had no good intentions. With his character, he would definitely try to meddle in the relationship between Young Master Si and Future Lady. But it was always him who ended up suffering, even though Old Master was the mastermind.
"Who said I want to delay the girl's work?" Takahashi Ryu glared at Duan Ruyin. "I was just kindly informing her about that kid's injury. Yantai, do you dare say otherwise?"
"I wouldn't dare, Old Master. I'll call her right now!" Duan Ruyin felt helpless and frustrated.
He handed the connected phone to Old Master, listening with resentment as he exaggeratedly described Young Master Si's condition as if he were on the brink of death. If that were the case, how could Future Lady not be worried? It was truly strange!
He knew there had been conflicts between Young Master Si and Summer in the past, but even without those conflicts, they wouldn't have been entangled until now. That day at Ires, if she hadn't taken that bullet for Young Master Si, Duan Ruyin would have believed she had no feelings for him. But because of that nearly fatal shot, which kept him in the emergency room for so long before he was out of danger, how could she have no feelings if she was willing to risk her life to protect him?
So when he heard about Young Master Si's injury, he believed she would definitely rush over. This played right into Old Master's hands. He wondered what else Old Master would do to stir up trouble for these two when Future Lady arrived at the old residence!
"What did Future Lady say?" Duan Ruyin asked curiously as he took the phone from Old Master.
"I really want to see how that girl can calmly ask me if he's really hurt badly. Yantai, how much does that girl actually like that kid?" Takahashi Ryu sat down on the sofa, rocking back and forth. He thought she would be so scared she wouldn't be able to speak and would immediately fly over to Japan!
"Grandfather, do you think I'm dead?" Duan Ruyin wanted to speak but caught a glimpse of Young Master Si leaning against the courtyard and quickly closed his mouth. At this point, he could play dumb; anything he said would be wrong, so it was best to remain silent.
"You brat, you're injured and not resting well; what are you doing out here?" Takahashi Ryu scoffed.
"You bully my wife; am I not allowed to care?" Mu Shaosi's face was somewhat pale. He felt speechless about his grandfather's actions. However, he admitted that when he heard his grandfather call Xinran just now, hope ignited in his heart because he was about to see her...
But when he heard his grandfather say that Xinran asked if he was really hurt badly, he suddenly realized that she wasn't overly worried about him; in fact, she might not rush over just because she heard he was injured...
"Bullying? That little brat is really embarrassing our Dongshan Family. He actually let a woman who doesn't love him control him so completely. It seems we really need Grandfather to step in and teach your wife a lesson!"
"Grandfather! Don't go after Xinran!" Mu Shaosi's face immediately turned cold as he said angrily.
