Chapter 969: Chapter 973 One Thing Overcomes Another Chapter 969: Chapter 973 One Thing Overcomes Another “Let’s give it a try,” Ye Xingbei said, “but don’t force Senior Master Xiang too much.”

She thought Senior Master Xiang was pitiful enough, and they should be more considerate of him.

“Okay, don’t worry,” Gu Junzhu said, “Isn’t it nice to have Uncle Xiang move and live next to our dad? The two have known each other for a lifetime, and they’re from the same system. They have a common language, can chat and play chess when they’re free, and it’s not lonely at all. How wonderful is that?”

Ye Xingbei said, “We think it’s quite good, but Senior Master Xiang might have his own plans. Let’s still ask for his opinion.”

“Alright,” Gu Junzhu said, “we’ll ask him later.”

The following time was full of cheerful host and guests.

The banquet went on until after two in the afternoon, when the guests had their fill of food and wine, leaving their blessings before departing in twos and threes.

In the end, only Senior Master Gu, Gu Junzhu, and her family of three remained.

Xiao Shumiao had been looking for an opportunity and ran over to Lingyue, holding his hand tightly, her large, round eyes staring warily at Senior Master Xiang.

Senior Master Xiang thought of the scene in Jiang City where the little tyke had competed with him for Lingyue, and he couldn’t help but laugh and cry, patting her little head, “Little tyke, what’s wrong?”

Xiao Shumiao pulled Lingyue a few steps backward, her little mouth pouting, and tears quickly filled her eyes, “Grandpa, can you not compete with me for Brother Xiaoyue? Without Brother Xiaoyue by my side, I won’t be able to eat, I won’t be able to sleep, and I will cry. It’s so pitiful!”

“But, Grandpa also misses your Brother Xiaoyue,” Senior Master Xiang said helplessly, “Your Brother Xiaoyue is Grandpa’s grandson. Now, Grandpa only has your Brother Xiaoyue as family, and Grandpa also really needs your Brother Xiaoyue.”

“Dad said to have you move to live near Grandpa’s place,” Xiao Shumiao, who had listened carefully to Gu Junzhu, relayed to Senior Master Xiang, “If you move to live near Grandpa, and be neighbors, I wouldn’t have to be separated from Brother Xiaoyue.”

“Yes, Uncle Xiang,” Gu Junzhu said with a smile, “Living in such a big house with just Xiaoyue is meaningless. Why not move to the compound and be neighbors with my dad?”

“This…” Senior Master Xiang hesitated.

The reason he had divorced Wang Qiulan and severed ties with his daughters was to provide Lingyue with a clean Xiang’s ancestral mansion.

His mansion was passed down from his ancestors, and he had deep feelings for it.

That’s why he filed a report with the authorities, declining the residence allotted to him and opting to live in his own old mansion instead.

The thought of moving away was hard for him to bear.

“Grandpa,” Lingyue said to him, “I don’t want to be separated from Xiao Shu.”

His voice was firm, leaving no room for doubt.

Senior Master Xiang was always a man of his word, who wouldn’t tolerate any disobedience.

Yet now, Lingyue didn’t consider his opinion at all and had already made up his mind, and he surprisingly showed no anger.

Lingyue’s intention was clear.

He wouldn’t part with Xiao Shumiao.

If he wanted to interact more with Lingyue, he would have to accept Gu Junzhu’s suggestion and move to the compound to be Senior Gu’s neighbor.

Otherwise, he would only be able to sigh over his grandson and might not see him for days or even weeks at a time.

What was there to hesitate about?

“Alright!” he sighed, nodded, and patted the two children’s heads, “Then I’ll move to the compound and keep company with my old leader.”
