1346 Eat Together
Despite Chu Jie’s temper, old master Chu could not get angry with her. No matter what, she was his granddaughter whom he had doted on since she was young. How could he not feel heartache?
However, old master Chu didn’t plan on letting her continue to wallow on Mo Long, so he found a time to invite Lin Tao over for a meal.
Lin Tao had long heard of Chu Jie.
His understanding of her was mostly from Jiang Rou. Jiang Rou was also Chu Jie’s sister, so naturally, she would only say good things about her and would not say anything bad about her.
This led to Lin Tao’s heart gradually developing feelings for Chu Jie even before he saw her. He even swore to take her down completely the first time they met.
Therefore, old master Chu’s request this time was undoubtedly the best opportunity for Lin Tao.
Therefore, he readily agreed. “Sure, Grandpa Chu. You’re the elder, and I’m the junior. In this world, how can the junior not listen to the elder when they’re having a meal together?”
Old master Chu smiled and said,”Aiya, it’s good that you don’t mind. I don’t have any other purpose in calling you here for dinner. I just want you and my granddaughter to get to know each other and build up your relationship.”
“I know, Grandpa Chu. I will.”
After hanging up the phone, Lin Tao started to think about what he should wear to make Chu Jie’s eyes light up.
When it was time for dinner, Lin Tao dressed up and went to the Chu family. Old master Chu was very satisfied with him at first sight, and his eyes were full of smiles.
“Lin Tao, just as Jiang Rou said, he’s really young and promising!” Old master Chu smiled and said, “not bad. As expected of the person I’ve taken a fancy to.”
“Grandpa Chu, you’re too kind. I’m not young and promising, I’m just average.” Lin Tao said, “in a few years, I will try to take over my family’s company. If I can manage my family’s company well by then, then I can be considered half young and promising.”
“You’re already very good now. There are very few people at your age who can do so well.” Old master Chu couldn’t help but praise.
These praises gradually made Lin Tao a little smug. He thought that Chu Jie would praise him like that. However, he did not expect Chu Jie to look at him and scoff in disdain. “Why are you acting humble here? Do you think that you’re good enough just because you’ve done what you’ve done? I think it’s just ordinary. Grandpa, you can’t praise him like that. Otherwise, he won’t know his place and won’t be able to work hard in the future.”
“What are you saying? They’re guests.” Old master Chu frowned. “Why aren’t you coming over to say hello? He came all the way here. As the host, aren’t you going to say hello to the guest?”
Chu Jie then reluctantly greeted Lin Tao.
However, Lin Tao was not angered by Chu Jie’s attitude. Instead, he felt that a daughter from a rich family should have such a temperament.
“Miss Chu Jie, I wonder if I can sit next to you during dinner time?” Lin Tao asked politely.
Chu Jie rejected him without even thinking, “No. You’re not allowed to sit next to me. Stay away from me. ”
The fact that she had obediently attended this dinner party was already the biggest concession she could make. Now, this man was still thinking of sitting next to her? He really didn’t know shame.
Lin Tao felt a little awkward after being rejected. This was the first time he had been rejected by a woman.
He originally thought that with his looks and abilities, even if Chu Jie did not fall for him at first sight, she would at least put on a shy expression.
It wasn’t like what he was doing now, with an obvious look of disdain on his face.
“What kind of attitude is this?” Old master Chu’s voice sank. “Lin Tao is a guest, and the guest wants to sit beside you. What’s wrong?”
“So what if he’s a guest? Can anyone sit next to me?” Chu Jie retorted impatiently, “grandfather, I’ve already agreed to come over for dinner. Please don’t be angry with me over this kind of thing, okay?”
“You’re still blaming me for being angry at you? Why don’t you take a look at yourself? What kind of attitude was that just now?” Old master Chu frowned.
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with my attitude. I just don’t like people sitting next to me, so I rejected him.” Chu Jie said.
“You child!” Old master Chu could not say anything.
Lin Tao quickly tried to smooth things over, “it’s okay, it doesn’t matter where I sit. The most important thing is to have a family meal together.”
