Chapter 622: Chapter 623: The Grandfather Who is Both Familiar and Strange

"Fei Fei, I’m already on my way." At that moment, Chu You and Bao’er were sitting in the car, which had just started up.

"Alright, let’s go someplace different this time. How about we head to Feifei Hot Pot Restaurant on Rongxi Road."

"Hot Pot Restaurant?" Chu You found this odd. Why did all the girls like to go to hot pot restaurants in the winter? Especially the pretty ones.

"Is there a problem?"

"No, I’ll head over right now."

"Okay, let’s see who gets there first!"

Afterward, the car left headquarters. Inside the vehicle, Bao’er sat quietly. Occasionally, Chu You noticed her smiling, as though she was thinking of something amusing.

"Bao’er, what are you smiling at?"

"Oh, nothing much," Bao’er slightly shifted in her seat.

"What do you think about Sister Fei Fei?" Perhaps the atmosphere was a tad too dull, so Chu You tried to initiate a conversation.

"Um... she’s alright, I suppose. She seems quite frank."

"Frank?"

"Yes, I think so."

Chu You nodded in agreement with Bao’er’s assessment. Zhao Feiyan was a bright person with an undeniable frankness.

He then followed the navigation path and headed for their destination.

After 40 minutes, they finally arrived at the hot pot restaurant. Unlike the hot pot restaurant Chu You visited with Chu Chenwei last time, from the outside, this Feifei Hot Pot Restaurant looked more like a finely decorated farmhouse hot pot place.

Just as Chu You prepared to pull into the parking lot, a taxi parked in front of them. From that vehicle emerged an elegant and stunning woman — Zhao Feiyan.

Why didn’t she drive herself?!

"Hey, isn’t that Sister Fei Fei?" Bao’er had also spotted Zhao Feiyan.

"Yes, it is."

Zhao Feiyan cast a glance at Chu You’s car without any expression and then turned to walk towards the hot pot restaurant.

Zhao Feiyan’s brief glance certainly left an impression.

However, she would not have recognized the car. Chu You was driving a black Mercedes-Benz from the company.

Just after Chu You parked, his phone rang.

"Chu You, I don’t see you. I already reserved a table, table number 8!"

"Alright, I have arrived too," he responded and he and Bao’er got out of the car.

After they walked in, Chu You scanned the area and a waiter approached.

"Where is table number 8?"

"Right there," the waiter pointed to a rustic booth.

"Thank you."

Every table here was set up the same – a doorless booth for each table, effectively separating it from other customers.

When Chu You appeared at the entrance, he saw Zhao Feiyan casually playing with her phone and fanning the charcoal to heat it up. The fire was burning briskly beneath the table.

"Fei Fei." He decided not to call her "Feiyan" in front of Bao’er.

Zhao Feiyan looked up at him, her naturally beautiful face appearing in Chu You’s sight.

The next moment, Zhao Feiyan’s gaze shifted to Bao’er standing next to Chu You. Meanwhile, Bao’er kept a politely soft smile.

"Bao’er, you’re here too. Chu You, why didn’t you inform me?" Zhao Feiyan stood up. She smiled broadly and waved at Bao’er.

"Bao’er, come and have a seat right next to sister."

So Bao’er and Zhao Feiyan sat next to each other. Chu You sat to the left of Zhao Feiyan, separated by a seat because he intended to smoke.

He reached into his pocket for a cigarette, then held it over the charcoal to light it.

Looking at Chu You’s cigarette, Zhao Feiyan’s eyes flickered.

The next moment, she quietly said something to Bao’er, causing Bao’er to smile gently.

Chu You also smiled, having caught what was said.

Several waitstaff then came in, bringing in the hot pot and dishes Zhao Feiyan had ordered. The food was placed on the table one after another.

"Alright, let’s eat. Waiter, bring us a bottle of mango juice."

Once they’ve each gotten a full glass of mango juice, Chu You smirked and said, "Let’s drink to that."

In the middle of their meal, Chu You’s phone rang again. He saw that it was Chu Chenwei who was calling and his eyes sparkled on seeing her name. It seemed that she was truly invested in his marriage.

"Hello, sis!"

Hearing Chu You’s form of address, Zhao Feiyan and Bao’er simultaneously looked up at him, expressions different.

"Chu You, I have something to tell you. In the afternoon, grandpa fell ill and all the relatives have come over."

"Oh, okay." Keeping his calm, Chu You responded indifferently. He wouldn’t ponder why the familiar yet distant old man fell ill at this particular time. Many things were changing or about to!

Besides, the old man has always been feeble. The situation at Tianchu Group might have accelerated his illness.

"This time, grandpa’s condition might be...might be really bad. The interior doctor said so." Chu Chenwei’s words made Chu You slightly frown.

Zhao Feiyan glanced at Chu You. Just as she was about to distract Bao’er, she noticed that Bao’er’s expression had lost its earlier lightness.

"Bao’er, try this."

"Alright, thanks Sister Fei Fei."

"You don’t have to be so formal."

"My parents and I think you should go and see grandpa one last time. Actually, it was one of his wishes to see you."

"Is he staying at a hospital?" Having remembered that old man, Chu You showed a strange expression.

"No, he is in the quadrangle courtyard. He doesn’t need a hospital."

"Oh, how long does he have?"

"About three days, more or less."

"I see."

"Chu You, don’t disappoint me."

Chu Chenwei hung up the phone the next moment. Chu You’s gaze drifted, seemingly lost in thought.

"What happened?" Zhao Feiyan asked softly.

"The large tree of the Chu family is about to fall!" Chu You spoke softly, his expression unreadable, and he took out another cigarette. This time, he used a lighter instead of the charcoal.

"Your grandpa?" Zhao Feiyan asked cautiously. Chu You just nodded.

"Do you want to go now?"

Chu You shook his head, though he looked a bit puzzled, "I’m not sure."

"Not sure?" Zhao Feiyan was surprised.

"You wouldn’t understand our relationship. I’m not afraid to tell you; he and I haven’t seen each other for nearly two years." At this point, Chu You let out a sigh. They hadn’t seen each other for more than just two years.

"Why?" Zhao Feiyan abruptly realized that Chu You’s family situation seemed to be quite complicated!

"Because he doesn’t like me. And I... ha, never mind."

Hearing Chu You’s explanation, Bao’er sneaked a glance at him, then picked up a piece of taro and put it in her mouth.

"Regardless, he is your grandpa after all. What’s wrong with him now?"

"He’s on his last leg."

"Then you should go."

"You guys continue eating; I’m full." Chu You changed the topic swiftly.

Seeing the turn in the conversation, Zhao Feiyan decided not to press further. The atmosphere turned slightly somber.

At that moment, Bao’er put down her chopsticks, "I’m full too."

Zhao Feiyan looked at Chu You, a certain deep meaning hidden in her eyes. "Let’s go then."

Chu You knew that Zhao Feiyan had something she wanted to say to him.
