Inherit For Three Thousand Years

Chapter 2: Pie in the sky

Xiao Yao didn't know when he fell asleep on the bedside, he was woken up by the old man.

Xiao Yao opened his sleepy eyes and saw that the old man had woken up, half leaning on the head of the bed, looking very energetic, his mind suddenly became sober, and he asked happily: "Grandpa Zhao, you are awake. I was terrified last night, how do you feel now?"

"I'm sick, it's okay now." The old man Zhao clasped Xiao Yao's hands tightly and looked very excited. "I have heard from the nurse just now. Yesterday, it was really thanks to you, if you didn't send me in time. Hospital, I’m afraid I’ve already explained my old life last night."

"Why do you think our father is fate? You went to my shop for two days to eat. You are in trouble. Can I still see the death and not save it?"

Father Zhao slapped his thigh, "This is a good sentence, and our father is indeed very destined."

"Who is there in your family? You didn't go back this evening. The family must be in a hurry. Let's call the house first. I didn't find your cell phone yesterday, or I would have notified it last night."

"I am a lone and widow. I have not been married in my entire life and have no children. That is to say, the housekeeper has been with me a little longer, and he still thinks about me. But he went abroad a few days ago and he is still on the plane at noon. To get off the plane." The old man's tone was a little sad and lonely.

Xiao Yao didn't expect that this rich grandfather Zhao was still a lonely old man. Now that the old man is recovering from illness, this kind of unpleasant topic must not be talked more about.

Quickly change the subject and say: "I hear your accent not very like ours, and it sounds very special, where is your hometown?"

"My hometown is our Hanzhou city. I went abroad when I was seven or eight years old. I have been away for eighty years. I have mainly settled in France for so many years. Although this accent is still the foundation of our Hanzhou dialect, it is like this abroad. Over the years, it has been somewhat affected, and the local accent has become impure." Father Zhao explained.

"Then you are Ye Luo returning to his roots. Are you planning to spend your later years in Hanzhou City?"

"Yes, it was indeed planned. This man is old and he misses home. Even though I don't have any relatives or friends wherever I am, I always feel more secure when walking on the streets of Hanzhou." Xiao Yao couldn't realize his mentality, but he could feel the heaviness in the old man's words.

After talking for a while, it was time for breakfast. Xiao Yao went to the hospital restaurant, called a hearty breakfast, and ate with the elderly.

In the morning, the old man had to hang up three sets of drips. Thinking that the old man didn't even have a person to take care of, Xiao Yao didn't worry and left like this, and simply continued to stay with him.

It wasn't until lunch was over at noon and the last group of drips were left. The old man's housekeeper hurried over.

The old man's housekeeper was around the age of 50 when he was young and powerful. On such a hot day, he even wore a straight suit, giving people a very capable feeling.

Seeing the gaunt look of the old man lying on the hospital bed, the butler’s eye circles were red, "Master, are you okay? Why did you suddenly get sick? Didn’t I have arranged a family doctor to follow you at any time? Dr. Han was sent away?"

"My body is like this. How many days can I live? I want to live the life I want in the last days, quiet and quiet, without letting anyone disturb. Dr. Han's medical skills are quite brilliant. , Shouldn't waste time on me." The old man behaved very open-minded.

On the way from the airport to the hospital, the butler had already inquired everything about last night.

The old master is safe and sound, and the person who should be most thankful is Xiao Yao.

"Mr. Xiao, thank you very much for your help. I am Lu Xuhui, the housekeeper of Zhao Mansion. For your kindness, I will prepare a great gift next day and come to thank you." Lu Xuhui clasped Xiao Yao's hands tightly in a very sincere tone.

"You are polite, it's just a matter of effort, these are all I should do." Being so solemnly thanked by an elder, Xiao Yao is still uncomfortable.

When the two people finished their exchanges, Mr. Zhao said: "Xiao Yao has been with me for half a day and one night. He must have not slept well last night. You send him off so that he can go back and have a good night's sleep."

Last night, Xiao Yao sat on a stool all night. It was really exhausted, so he was no longer polite. He went to the store for a shake, and then went straight home to rest.

The one-bedroom, one-living house that Xiao Yao rents is an old community, which is very close to the hotel, which makes commuting to get off work easier.

The next morning, Xiao Yao originally planned to visit Mr. Zhao in the hospital, but he didn't expect to receive a call from Steward Lu first.

It turned out that Mr. Zhao was discharged from the hospital this morning. He prepared a rich family dinner for him at noon today, and he will send a car to pick him up later.

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Yao felt that this old man Zhao was really stubborn. If he hadn't strongly asked to be discharged from the hospital, the doctor would not have let him go back so soon.

About 5 minutes later, he received a call from the driver.

The driver who came to pick him up looked like he was in his early 30s. He spoke very little and showed respect for him.

What made Xiao Yao secretly complained about was that the old man’s residence was very close to his hotel, no more than 1 kilometer at most. At such a short distance, it would be better to walk on foot.

This luxurious Mercedes-Benz S600 stopped in front of a three-story villa, and Lu Xuhui came to the door to greet him in person.

While greeting each other, they walked along the cobblestone path into the villa.

This is the first time Xiao Yao has entered a luxury villa as a guest. Whether it is the large green area outside the villa or the luxurious decoration inside the villa, it opens his eyes.

In order to thank Xiao Yao, the old man prepared a sumptuous family dinner. The one-foot-long Australian lobster and four-headed wild abalone at the family banquet were all his first tastes. These dishes made with precious ingredients have excellent taste. The homemade stir-fry on the dinner table is also delicious and attractive. It seems that today's chefs are by no means ordinary people.

"The craftsmanship of your chef is really good. If the chef of my restaurant has this skill, he won't have to worry about the restaurant's business being deserted." Xiao Yao exclaimed.

Lu Xuhui explained: "Today's chef is specially invited from a five-star hotel. Of course, the cooking skills are not bad. If you like it, then eat more."

After eating and drinking, Mr. Zhao gently sipped a cup of tea made by the housekeeper Lu himself, first asked about Xiao Yao’s family situation, and then suddenly said, “I have no children or daughters in my life, even a close friend. There are no younger generations. Otherwise, I wouldn't be ready to donate all the family properties I have worked hard for most of my life."

After a pause, the old man continued: "You saved my life. If it weren't for your selfless help last night, maybe I'm already staying in the morgue now. Ordinary people know that the grace of dripping water should be returned by the spring. , For your life-saving grace, I naturally have to repay it."

"I am going to give you all the property in my name!"

Elder Zhao's tone was a little weak, but this sentence fell to Xiao Yao's ears, as if it was a thunderstorm, which made him unable to calm for a long time.
