nThe atmosphere in the front hall was very bad. At the very least, Fatty felt very depressed and could not stay there any longer.

nFrom the moment Chen Meng’er appeared, Elder Wharton’s gaze had not moved away from her. From the moment he had sized her up at the beginning to the later stages, it was as if he was estimating the value of an item. All of this made Chen Meng’er feel very displeased.

nChen Meng’er frowned slightly. Then, a faint smile appeared on her face. However, the smile did not reach her eyes. “I wonder, Elder Wharton, after sizing me up for so long, have you seen anything?” Chen Meng’er’s question was direct. Logically speaking, Chen Meng’er was younger than Elder Wharton, so no matter how much she disliked, she should not have said it out loud.

n“Lass, you can’t be so rude. Let’s not talk about other things first. Just the way you address me has to be changed. Although I don’t really have a good relationship with your grandfather, I’ve known him for several decades. You have to address me with respect.” It was very obvious that Elder Wharton liked Chen Meng’er quite a lot.

nOtherwise, he wouldn’t have such a good temper. Even after Chen Meng’er said such rude words, he was still willing to speak to Chen Meng’er so jovially.

nHowever, Elder Liu and Chen Meng’er didn’t appreciate his kindness.

nElder Liu was a person who protected his own people, especially Chen Meng’er. He didn’t have any principles when it came to protecting his own people. After hearing Elder Wharton’s words, he was immediately disgruntled.

n“Hey, how is my lass rude? She called you Elder Wharton. What’s wrong with that? She was still polite. If it were me, I would have directly ignored you. Look at the way you looked at my lass from the start. Wharton, let me tell you, I’ve tolerated you for a while. My lass isn’t like those women in your circle who want to marry into your family and climb into your grandson’s bed,” Elder Liu said. He didn’t give Elder Wharton any face at all. “Why don’t you look in the mirror? With you like this, you still want my little girl to call you Grandpa.”

n“Liu Bolin, watch your words. Don’t think that just because I give in to you every time, you can say what you like.” Elder Wharton’s dragon-headed walking stick in his hand knocked on the floor loudly.

nHearing this, Elder Liu felt a pang of heartache. “I say, Wharton, watch yourself. If you break these tiles of mine, I’ll teach you a lesson. If it wasn’t for the fact that I was afraid of accidentally making you angry, I would have scolded you a long time ago. You wouldn’t dare appear in front of me again.” If it was in the past, Elder Liu would still give in to Wharton.

nHowever, Elder Liu was getting older and older. His temper was also becoming more and more like that of a child. He wouldn’t give in at all.

n“All this for these lousy floor tiles? You’re really stingy. You’re still giving in to me? Look, when I came into the Green Gang, I could be considered a guest. Look at you. You don’t even have the slightest bit of respect for me. You have the nerve to say that.”?The two old men started fighting again.

nFor a moment, Chen Meng’er was out of the picture again.

nChen Meng’er turned her head and met Chen Ming’s eyes. There was a strong devotion in his eyes that could not be melted. Chen Meng’er was stunned for a moment, then she quickly turned her eyes away.

nChen Meng’er was secretly annoyed. Chen Ming’s love for her was so obvious. How could she not feel it at all? If it wasn’t for the wrong occasion, Chen Meng’er would have facepalmed. She was very annoyed.

nWhen Chen Meng’er appeared, Chen Ming’s gaze seemed to be glued to Chen Meng’er. He couldn’t move his gaze away no matter how hard he tried.

nHe looked at Chen Meng’er and felt very satisfied. His heart, which had been empty for so many days, was filled up again the moment he saw Chen Meng’er.
