The old gramps was the first person to have tried his cooking skills, and also the only one. He hadn't even cooked for himself yet, and the second person who was fortunate enough to taste it was that little girl.

At that time, he was just on the spur of the moment, but she, she actually remembered that smell.

Seeing that the person in front of him had a blurred expression of happiness, the old butler suddenly reached into his pocket and took out a mobile phone. Then, without delay, he opened a recording and handed it over to Ji Chenxi.

Ji Chenxi was startled. He took it and slowly raised it up to her ears to listen carefully. When he heard it, he became even more passionate and her eyes became as bright as diamonds.

It turned out that the words Gu Rou had said to the old man was secretly recorded by the old butler.

It was the first time in Grandpa Shen's life that he saw such an intelligent, agile, and unique girl. He thought that she was still young and didn't want to understand so much, but when she said those words, he couldn't help but sweat for her. Recalling that scene, the old steward was once again deeply moved and amazed.

"Thank you, Grandpa Shen." Ji Chenxi also opened his mouth at this moment, thanking his sincerely.

He thanked the old butler for letting him know about this scene. Hearing it with his own ears was more inspiring and precious than telling it to others. Grandpa Shen was also a meticulous person. He knew what would make him happier.

Even though the old man was moved, he was not so naive to believe that the old man would make any changes because of this. For example, if he really agreed to Gu Rou's request, he would give him an equal opportunity to compete.

However, the amount would still have an impact.

This was enough. This was exactly what he wanted. He didn't need the lordmaster to make a huge change all at once, but wanted to leave a mark in the lordmaster's heart. When necessary, this mark would be of great use.

To him, this was truly a pleasant surprise. This pleasant surprise was given to him by the little girl. It was as Grandpa Shen had said, she was very extraordinary.

He could have imagined that she would choose his tea, could have imagined that she would speak kindly of him, but he could not have imagined that she would be so brave, so direct, and yet not offend the old man.

"Grandpa Shen, I want to save this recording. Lend me your phone for today, I'll return it to you right after." After a while, Ji Chenxi gradually calmed his jubilant mood and sent a request to the old butler.

The old butler nodded with a smile, indicating for him to go ahead with the task. In the end, he looked at the time and said goodbye.

Ji Chenxi watched the old butler slowly walk away, then turned on the recording and listened to it once more, intoxicated. He then looked in the direction of the study room, thinking of something, and walked towards his dwelling.

In the study room, Gu Rou didn't say anything else and continued to walk around for half a game of chess with the old man. In the end, she still lost, forced into a corner by the old man.

"Grandfather is such a good chess player, Gu Rou is willing to admit defeat!"

The old man had a smile on his face as he looked at her without blinking, and said meaningfully, "Girl, you're so capable that you can always make grandpa look at you in a new light. Accompany Grandfather for so long, don't be bored, go, find your Chenxi. "

Her beautiful face unconsciously flushed red. Gu Rou smiled and after a while, she bade farewell shyly.

Not long after she left, the door to the study was pushed open once again. A tall figure walked in, it was Ji Zijie.

The old man seemed to already know that it was him, and began to recount things without even looking at it, "Zi Jie, there are some things that we have to accept, but Grandfather accepted your request and gave you a chance. Unfortunately, in the end, he still can't do it.

Ji Zijie slowly walked to the old man's side. He first stared at the chess board in silence for half a minute, his lips stained with a cold smile.

"Don't meddle in Gu Rou's matters anymore, let them be. Grandfather might love you, but you can't ignore the others for your own good. In the end, all of you are still grandfather's blood inside you, you are grandfather's family."

"Grandfather, did Gu Rou say anything to you?" Ji Zijie finally spoke. His eyes were sinister and a shallow hostility flowed through them.

The old man looked up and asked, "What do you think? What do you think she said to Grandpa? "

Ji Zijie's eyes flashed, and became silent again.

That's right, he was unreconciled. Relying on the old man's favor, he brazenly proposed a choice to Gu Rou, allowing Gu Rou to make a choice between them. If Gu Rou chose him, then, no matter what, they had to separate Gu Rou and Ji Chenxi.

At first, the old man was hesitant, but in the end, he still agreed to him.

Little did he know that Gu Rou had actually chosen the tea that Ji Chenxi had brewed!

Even so, he was still very unwilling, especially after hearing what the old tutor had just said! Originally, he wanted to separate Gu Rou from that person but he didn't want that person to be complacent. Now, he completely didn't want that person to benefit from it!

Of course, he wouldn't show it in front of the old tutor again. There were some things that only needed to be shown once.

After accompanying the old man absent-mindedly for a while, Ji Zijie bid farewell and quickly made his way through the pavilion. Finally, he stopped Gu Rou before he returned to his residence.

Gu Rou was instinctively shocked by the sudden appearance of the figure, and even felt an undetectable sense of fear.

"Gu Rou, do you really like him?" Not wasting any time to beat around the bush, Ji Zijie opened the door to meet him. His sharp and fiery eyes were staring straight at Gu Rou.

Gu Rou took a deep breath to stabilize her panic, and replied with a determined tone, "Mhm."

"For him, you didn't hesitate to say a lot of things that you shouldn't have said in front of your grandfather? Gu Rou, where are you putting me now? You forgot our fated relationship. Back then, if it wasn't for me rushing back, the person accompanying you right now might have been me. "

Big Brother Zi Jie, you misunderstood me. Matters always come to one after the other, I have always engraved this kindness in my heart. In the future, if you ever need me to repay you, I will do so without hesitation. However, this has nothing to do with me loving him. I love him and naturally want to do something for him. I only want to help him get something on the basis of fairness. Besides, it's just a wishful thinking on my part. It's still unknown how Grandpa will decide in his heart. After all, he has such a soft spot for you. "

"What do you know!?" "It's not a preference, it's a rule of the Ji Clan that has been passed down from generation to generation!" Ji Zijie cut his off angrily, "That's why, even if it was you, what qualifications do you have to change it? Gu Rou, no matter how much you love that person, you shouldn't have done that, because if it was like that, you would have hurt me! You said that you will remember my good points, and if there is a chance, you will definitely repay me. Then, I want you to repay me now, and not be together with Chenxi, are you willing? "
