Chapter 48: The Brother-in-law Comes to the Door (Seeking Collection Tickets!!)

  "Nanny, I'll go see Grandpa first, you arrange him... next to me!"

  Milan is worried about Grandpa, although Wu Ma said it's nothing, but still wants to see for herself. There's no time to go see parents, and with Guo Pu, the relationship has become much closer on this trip, leaving him behind can't be considered neglect!

  Madam Wu heard that the young lady had arranged for this man to be placed next door, and at once her thoughts were even more confirmed about the status of this young fellow, she almost shouted "Young Master"!

  Milan's marriage has always been a worry for Old Master and Mistress.

  Madam Wu was so delighted that she didn't even bother to arrange accommodations for Guo Pu, and instead hurriedly led him through the corridors to a large backyard with an independent courtyard.

  Entering the courtyard, this is a very large living room. The decoration of the living room is completely in the old Shanghai style, with a hint of Suzhou style! From the decoration, it can be seen that it was carefully designed by a master craftsman. This traditional Chinese style combined with Western elements is exactly the characteristic of old Shanghai. Especially these pieces of furniture, who knows how many people have polished them, placed in the living room, giving people a sense of harmony and perfection! These pieces of furniture even emit a faint fragrance.

  Guo Pu secretly admired, what a wonderful and elegant demeanor of an old aristocratic family! Without the accumulation of 180 years of heritage, no matter how much money you have, you won't have the temperament of a century-old family!

  This can't be bought with money!

  Mrs. Wu smiled and said to Guo Pu, "Young master, please sit down first, I'll go get you a cup of tea and a basin of foot-washing water!" Just then, a middle-aged woman walked out with an air of elegance, although she was anxiously calling out for Lan'er, her actions were not at all flustered. Seeing this middle-aged woman come out, Mrs. Wu went up to greet her with a joyful face and said, "Don't worry, madam, the young lady has gone to see the old master! The young lady also brought someone back for you... Oh dear, look at my memory, I forgot to ask this young gentleman's surname!"

  The woman looked like she was only in her 40s, elegant and refined, wearing a plain-colored cheongsam. A woman of this age could actually bring out the elegance of the cheongsam, with curves that were no less than those of Milan. Truly, like mother, like daughter!

  The woman's hair was coiled at the back of her head, a pearl necklace hung around her neck, and her eyes were also looking at Guo Pu with a gentle gaze. However, the joy in her eyes was not concealed at all!

  "Auntie! My surname is Guo, a friend of Milan..."

  Guo Pu hastily bowed slightly to Su Mu Yun, who quickly said: "No need to be polite, since you're a friend of Lan Er's, don't be restrained. Wu Ma, serve tea!"

  "Ah!"

  No matter how Guo Pu handled the two old women who regarded him as the future son-in-law of the Mi family, Mi Lan rushed to her grandfather's bedroom. The room was very simple, with only a large yellow pear wood bed carved with dragons and phoenixes, which was very majestic. This bed was worth a specific amount that no one knew, but a pair of Huanghuali armchairs had been auctioned off in Hong Kong for 80 million! And the era was not as long as this bed! The materials used were also less than half of this bed!

  The preciousness of Huanghua pear wood lies in its inherent value as a material, with no added value. The bigger it is, the more expensive it becomes! It surpasses even red sandalwood and purple sandalwood.

  An emaciated old man was half-reclining on the bed, covered with a quilt. When he saw Milan coming in, he was taken aback at first, and then a happy smile suddenly burst out on his face full of wrinkles!

  "Haha! My dear granddaughter is back! You must be exhausted! Come here, let Grandpa take a look!"

  There were still a few people standing in the house, an old servant, two of them were Milan Ershu Milongshan and his wife Fang Yanzhi.

  "Grandpa! Are you all right?"

  "It's all right, come on, Lan'er, sit next to Grandpa! How did you get back?"

  The old man didn't have any of the so-called majestic aura, he was simply ordinary to the extreme! Where was there a hint of his former self as the number one leader of the Central Government?!

  "I drove back!"

  The dialect-speaking maid stood to one side, feeling a pang of jealousy in her heart towards Old Master's favoritism towards Milan! Seeing Milan sit down beside Old Master, she hastily smiled and said: "Lan'er, didn't Lin Gongzi come with you? I heard on the phone that he specially borrowed a plane from the military for you! Why did you drive back?"

  Mi Lan's face sank, but she suddenly smiled again, pulling Grandpa's hand, and didn't even acknowledge Fang Yanzi's presence!

  Xiang's wife, Qiang, suppressed her anger and nudged her husband with her elbow. Mi Longshan smiled and said to the old man, "Father, Lan'er will stay with you first, I'll go down with Xiang now!"

  Mr. Mei's face didn't show anything, only happiness, he slightly nodded his head, indicating that they could go down! The old servant Zeng Bo beside him also retreated!

  Fang Yanzi maintained a demure and obedient image in front of the old master, so she didn't dare to show her anger towards Milan. But once they were out the door, she walked with an angry face and said to Milong Mountain: "Are you dead? Your niece actually dares to ignore me? Who am I? How can she treat me like this? Humph! She's just relying on the old master's favoritism! One day when the old master is gone, let's see who will still protect him!"

  Mi Longshan's face turned gloomy, he glared at Fang Yanzhi and said: "Shut up! What are you talking about? Go back!"

  The dialect is still talking nonsense, looking at the eyes of Mi Longshan, can only hold back the bad breath in his heart, and said in a low voice: "I really don't know what the old man is thinking! Why not use the good relationship? Why can't we stay in Beijing? Are you dead? Hmph? Your big brother Mi Buqing is just a bookworm, he doesn't want these things, why should we? Are you afraid of having too much money? He can't support this family, it should be you! How did it become that dead girl who married out?"

  Mi Longshan, accompanied by Fangyan Zhi, walked through several corridors and was about to head home when he suddenly saw that the guest hall where his elder brother Mi Buqing lived in the backyard was still lit up. He hesitated for a moment, then exchanged a glance with his wife, and the two of them walked over.

  In the living room, Wu Ma was beaming with joy, and Su Mu Yun, although still elegant in demeanor, also had a hint of delight in her eyes! There was a young man sitting in the living room!

  "Sister-in-law!"

  "Longshan and siblings are here? Quick, sit down! Let me introduce you, this is Milan's friend! Little Guo, these are Milan's uncle and aunt!"

  A hint of doubt flashed across Fang Yan's face, and she carefully sized up Guo Pu again from head to toe. With a forced smile on her face, she said: "Whose young master is this? Our Lan'er brought him back home, I suppose he must be from a noble family?"

  Guo Pu immediately saw the disdain and hostility in Fangyan Zhi's heart! He suddenly remembered what Milan had said before! This aunt, seemed to have been instigating Milan to marry Lin Gongzi all along!

  Kuo Pu hastily stood up, slightly bowing to Fang Yanzi and Mi Longshan, saying: "Good day, Second Master and Mistress! I'm Miss Mi's bodyguard, driving her back home!"

  Wu's mother was taken aback, and then nodded her head in agreement. However, she couldn't help but think that this young man was quite impressive, with a sharp gaze. No wonder Miss thought highly of him! Su Mu Yun also looked slightly surprised. Meanwhile, Mi Long Shan and his wife were almost comical at this point.

  Milong Mountain still had a smile on his face, and Fangyan Zhi also felt that he had lowered himself enough! But unexpectedly, Guo Pu came up with such a sentence! Almost didn't make Milong Mountain angry to death!

  You're just a little bodyguard! How dare you sit alongside the madam and drink tea together? I don't even have that privilege myself!

  That's the rules of a big family, older brother and sister-in-law have different status!
