Driving through the bustling streets, the BMW stopped in front of a secluded estate.
Luke got out, meticulously checked his appearance in the rearview mirror, and after ensuring everything was perfect, took a deep breath and walked to the main gate.
An old man in a Tang suit was sound asleep on a chair beside the iron gate. He had a head full of silver hair, looked at least 70 years old, and was blind in his left eye, with only his right eye remaining. His body swayed back and forth with the rocking chair, and soft snores occasionally emanated from him.
Luke lowered his voice and whispered,
"Grandpa Fu!"
The old man groggily opened his single eye, and upon seeing the young man outside the gate, he cracked a smile, revealing yellowed teeth, and cackled,
"Little Luke, you're finally back. Grandpa Fu missed you terribly."
"I missed you too. How have you been, Grandpa Fu, after a few months?"
"Still good, still good. It's just that nothing tastes right; my mouth is so bland it feels like birds could nest in it."
Despite his age, the old man was robust, walking with a vigorous stride. He could lift a ten-pound gate lock with one hand. After opening the iron gate, he scrutinized Luke from head to toe, then slapped him hard on the shoulder,
"Not bad, not bad. You're getting handsomer, with the same dashing demeanor as your Grandpa Fu in his youth. No wonder you can make those little hussies scream."
Hearing this, Linda, who was behind him, involuntarily twitched the corner of her mouth. Little hussies? What little hussies? Where are the little hussies?
Luke humbly shook his head,
"Grandpa Fu thinks too highly of me. At most, I have seven-tenths of your charm. Just ask around in the North District, who doesn't know the legendary stories of Grandpa Fu in his youth? Back then, you never spent a single cent at brothels; those white-bottomed women would always pay you, and some you wouldn't even bother with. I can't learn that skill; I can only stare in envy."
The old man's eyes lit up. "You know about that too!"
"How could I not know?"
Luke gently nudged his chest, revealing a smile that all men understood, "I've always heard about it. I didn't understand when I was little, but now that I'm grown, you know?"
The old man suddenly understood. The old and young leaned together, letting out strange, hooting laughs like night owls.
Linda felt her scalp tingle and had an urge to turn and leave. What kind of people are these! Two perverts, they're practically bandits.
"Come, let me introduce you."
Luke pulled the old man to the car, pointing to the tall Adam, saying, "This is Adam, my driver and assistant, Grandpa Fu. From now on, if you have any errands or people you don't like, you can find him."
Luke emphasized the last sentence. The old man understood, scrutinizing Adam. After meeting the pair of dark green eyes that lacked any human emotion, his body stiffened, and he nodded with a serious expression. The big man's aura was unusual; he clearly looked like a ruthless character who wouldn't bat an eye at killing.
He then turned his gaze to Linda. The girl's sweet face, youthful demeanor, and well-defined figure made the old man's eyes light up. He slapped Luke hard on the shoulder,
"Good boy, not bad. Much better than those little hussies before. Where did you find her?"
Linda's face darkened, red light flickered in her eyes, and a powerful energy fluctuation erupted. The air seemed to be expelled, turning into countless turbulent currents. The plants swayed back and forth, and the leaves rustled.
The iron gate even made creaking sounds.
The old man's face changed drastically, and he quickly corrected himself,
"Sorry, little girl, this old man speaks without thinking. Don't take it seriously."
After speaking, he dragged Luke aside and scolded him in a low voice,
"Boy, how many times has Grandpa Fu warned you? You can find hussies, but never find a she-devil. You bring such a Guanyin Bodhisattva home, aren't you afraid of being 'transcended' by her?"
Luke was quite helpless and could only explain,
"Her name is Linda Danvers. She's my friend, a female friend, not a girlfriend."
"I know you, kid!"
The old man squinted, having already seen through everything,
"What female friend? Nonsense. Once there's sex, they're all girlfriends. Isn't that how those little hussies came about?"
Luke was speechless. Seeing Linda's aura becoming increasingly violent, he quickly said,
"Say less. If this continues, we'll be meeting Buddha."
The old man quickly shut his mouth, carefully glancing back. Seeing the girl's eyes glowing red and staring intently at them, his beard trembled, and he closed his mouth even tighter.
He was only seventy-two, still young, and didn't want to meet Buddha so soon. Of course, he might also meet God.
Luke gestured to Adam, who opened the trunk and took out the pre-prepared large gift box.
"These are gifts I specially prepared for you. Premium black tobacco from Cuba's Viñales Valley and thirty-year-old pure brew specially supplied by China. I know you like these two things, so I prepared a lot. They're all at home. I'll send them over to you another day. Also, don't tell Grandpa."
"Good boy! Grandpa Fu didn't dote on you for nothing."
The old man laughed heartily, opened the gift box, pinched a bit of tobacco, and took a deep sniff at his nose, nodding with satisfaction. Then he opened the wine bottle, poured a small cup of white wine, and poured it into his mouth. The wine was fragrant and mellow, indescribably wonderful.
"Good stuff, truly good stuff."
"Little Luke, you are just good. Filial and thoughtful, much better than those ungrateful little brats. Tell Grandpa if you need anything, and Grandpa will risk his old life to help you achieve it."
"As long as you like it, I'm happy if you're happy."
Luke looked left and right, then whispered,
"How is Grandpa doing? Is he still angry with me?"
The old man sighed slightly, "When he heard you were coming back, the boss took out that whip he'd hidden for decades and sat in his wheelchair, waving it around, breaking quite a few things."
He said, patting Luke's shoulder, "Boy, good luck to you."
Luke quickly said, "Grandpa Fu, you can't just ignore me!"
"Don't worry, when you're unconscious from the whip, Grandpa Fu will be the first to carry you to the hospital."
Luke: "..."
"Alright, stop chattering here, hurry up and go inside. The boss loves you so much, at most he'll whip you twice, he definitely won't let you be humiliated."
Luke was helpless and could only carry the gift box towards the villa.
When he met the housemaids, he took out two pairs of jade bracelets and gave them. The maids had always taken care of the old master's daily life, and having been together for a long time, they knew Luke's character and didn't refuse. After accepting the jade bracelets, she called him aside, carefully instructed him, and then put on the bracelets, happily leaving.
Perhaps smelling their master, the two German Shepherds in the kennel rushed out of the fence, ran in front of Luke, wagging their tails and sticking out their tongues, extremely excited.
"An'an, Beibei, after a few months, you're still like this."
Luke took out two German black sausages and stuffed them into their mouths. "Alright, go play. This young master doesn't have time to mess around with you."
Approaching the main gate, a strange old man in tattered clothes and messy hair appeared at the intersection. The old man was unusual; despite being dressed like a beggar, he squinted and tilted his head back, incredibly arrogant. Someone who didn't know might think he was there to collect a debt.
Luke took out a gift box and casually tossed it over,
"This is for you. Take it if you want, or don't."
Pushing open the main door, the morning sun cast two rows of shadows in the living room. An old man in a red Tang suit sat in a wheelchair, his tiger-like eyes staring intently at them.
Luke gave an awkward smile, took a few steps forward, and respectfully called out,
"Grandpa!"
