Chapter 402: Chapter 402: A Call of "Grandpa
After receiving his grandfather’s confirmation, Sheng Tang immediately called Gu Shiting back.
As she went downstairs to make the call, Mr. Sheng took the opportunity to ask Sheng Sidong and Fang Mengying, "What’s the situation with Tangtang and the Gu Family’s boy?"
"She moved into the Gu Family’s house during winter break; the adults of the Gu Family personally came to pick her up," Fang Mengying replied.
Mr. Sheng: "...."
Unexpectedly, Sheng Tang turned out to be the one quietly accomplishing big things!
This remarkable achievement, Sheng Sidong and his wife didn’t even hint at anything, truly showing great restraint.
"Last time the Gu Family’s assistant came to see me, he said the two families would be one in the future. From this, it seems the Gu Family has taken a liking to Tangtang?" Mr. Sheng asked again.
Fang Mengying hesitated.
She was unwilling to speak too definitively.
After all, the difference in social standing was too great. If she said something now, and there were changes in the future, Tangtang might lose face.
"They’re still young, neither she nor Young Master Gu understands much. In my view, they’re just two kids with a youthful spirit, no fixed affection yet. But their relationship is very good, this much is true." Fang Mengying spoke very tactfully.
Sheng Zong immediately added, "He stayed at our house over the New Year."
Mr. Sheng: "...."
He smiled and looked at Fang Mengying and Sheng Sidong.
Sheng Sidong hurriedly explained, "But it’s only because Young Master Gu found it novel to stay at our house for a couple of days..."
"Alright, you two are being overly cautious." Mr. Sheng interrupted Sheng Sidong, "Do you think I’m an old man who’ll go around announcing my granddaughter’s marriage?
If it works out, it’s naturally a good thing. Everyone strives to climb higher; don’t be too rigid, fearing people will say you’re using your daughter to climb the social ladder, thus delaying the child’s future;
Even if it doesn’t work out, there’s nothing wrong. Tangtang is so smart, her future marriage will certainly be remarkable. I’m not worried about that."
Sheng Sidong and Fang Mengying fell silent.
Gu Shiting received the call from Sheng Tang, feeling overjoyed inside, yet his mind slowly cooled down.
He couldn’t wait to introduce Sheng Tang to his grandfather, but they weren’t even officially a couple yet.
Without breaking through this phase, what good would it do to bring her to see his grandfather?
This road was still long.
Nevertheless, being able to see Tangtang in an hour, instead of waiting until late at night for their return, Gu Shiting was still happy.
His grandfather’s people were sending him over.
Sheng Tang had sent her location to him and was now standing at the door to welcome him.
The rain had stopped, the air was moist, mixed with the scent of earth.
The twilight was deepening, the clouds pressing down, making the sky look even more gloomy.
Yet Sheng Tang stood on the lit-up steps, smiling at him.
The light gleamed on her head and body, and she stood gracefully, with a glow seeming to emanate from behind her.
Gu Shiting quickly stepped forward and embraced her.
Mr. Sheng sat in the living room, looking up and seeing this scene, he smiled slightly.
Still saying he’s not her boyfriend!
Sheng Tang felt a bit embarrassed and quickly pushed him away, "You’re such a grown-up, still acting coy?"
Gu Shiting: "...."
She entered the living room first, with Gu Shiting following her.
When he saw strangers, his instinct was to feel shy. He slightly bowed to Sheng Tang’s grandfather as a greeting.
Mr. Sheng also stood up, "Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year, Grandpa."
"Since you called me Grandpa, I must give you a red envelope." Mr. Sheng smiled cheerfully and called for the servant to bring a red envelope.
The red envelope was bulging and felt quite heavy.
"Take it, it’s for good fortune," said Mr. Sheng.
Gu Shiting accepted it and thanked him again.
He wasn’t talkative, gentle and introverted, not at all like a spoiled heir.
Mr. Sheng had only met him for a few minutes, but his evaluation of him was already very high.
He nodded quietly to himself, "Tangtang is not only smart and capable; her vision and luck are excellent too!"
