Capítulo 27: Second Master Du Takes Medicinetakes his medicine
Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
At Chen Meiling's villa.
Chen Hao held his phone and waited for Second Master Du's car.
This was the first time Second Master Du came to this suburban villa.
Second Master Du's Rolls Royce finally came to the house.
"This place is far away from the city. Second Master, the doctor told you to stay in the villa. but you have to come in person," Chen Hao said when he saw Second Master Du's tired face.
He was already over eighty years old now and had stopped taking charge of things a few years ago because of health issues. Everyone in the circle knew about he was not well.
It was rumored that his days were numbered.
"You know nothing." Second Master Du glared at him. "Father served him personally. Now that he gave the Du family such an honor, it would be rude of me not to come."
His eldest son, Du Chen, got out of the driver's seat and helped his father out.
Second Master Du looked at the suburban villa in disapproval since it didn't have the many living conveniences in the city and the house didn't look grand. In short, it was not good enough.
He looked at Chen Hao with some dissatisfaction and said, "I told you to make Grand Mater comfortable, and you let him live in such a pigsty?"
Chen Hao smiled bitterly. "My daughter came here to avoid me. Her best friend, Sister Xiaoxue, lives here with her.
"The old master came to visit his great-granddaughter and thus has stayed here, too. I haven't had the time to move them to another place yet. Most of the urban apartments have elevators. I'm afraid that the old master doesn't like to go up and down in elevators."
"Then get a house." Second Master Du shouted, "Chen Hao, can't you do this little thing? If you don't want to spend money on it, I'll buy it!"
At this moment, Su Yingxue walked out of the villa. When she saw the three of them, she smiled and waved, "Second Uncle, come in please."
Second Master Du's grim face broke into a smile as he walked in with Chen Hao's help.
He whispered to Chen Hao, "Tell your daughter to maintain a good relationship with Xiaoxue. After all, Grand Master has entered the human realm this time because of Xiaoxue. Tell her that she can't let Xiaoxue suffer."
Chen Hao nodded and made a note in his mind.
After Su Yingxue came over to help Second Master Du walk. She said, "Why did you come in person? We're not ready yet. The banquet is set in the afternoon, right?"
"Hehe, I have nothing to do at home. It's good for my health to come out and get some fresh air."
Second Master Du smiled and introduced his eldest son to Su Yingxue. "Come, Xiaoxue. This is my son, Du Chen. You can just call him Big Brother Du."
Du Chen, who was about the same age as Chen Hao, smiled and greeted her. "Little Sister Xiaoxue, if you need anything in the future, just tell me. I have some say in Jiangbei."
"Haha, I will. Thank you," Su Yingxue smiled and said sweetly.
"No problem. We're a family." Du Chen smiled graciously.
"Then I'll go take a shower," Su Yingxue said, "Second Uncle and Big Brother, you guys go in and have a seat first."
Second Master Du nodded and was helped into the villa.
After entering the living room, they sat on the mahogany chairs.
No one dared to sit on the chief chair.
Second Master Du knew his place and sat in a chair on one side.
"Previously, we had European-style sofas here but they are not good for elderly people's back," Chen Hao said to invite compliments, "So I changed the furniture. I even bought good tea leaves and a tea table for the old master."
Second Master Du nodded in approval.
Seeing that Su Yingxue was about to make tea, Chen Hao immediately ran over. "Little Sister Xiaoxue, leave it to me."
Then the took the teapot from her hand without giving her the time to say no.
Su Yingxue knew she could not dissuade him, so she went upstairs.
Not long after, she came down with the exquisite box that her great-grandfather had given her.
She handed it to Second Master Du. "Second Uncle, my great-grandfather asked me to give this to you. I planned to give it to you after I go to your house, but since you're here, I'll give it to you now."
"Grand Master gave it to me." Second Master Du was stunned for a moment and then took it immediately.
He looked a little excited.
In his memory, Grand Master never give gifts.
This was what his father had told him.
But he had also said that all the things that Grand Master gave were of the highest quality.
So when he heard Su Yingxue say that it was a gift from his grand master, Second Master Du was very excited.
Holding the box, he was still a little expectant.
"What.. what is it?" He looked at Su Yingxue with anticipation in his eyes.
Second Master Du's body shook as he opened the box.
He saw a crystal clear pearl-like pill in the box.
His hands trembled..
"Dad, what's wrong?" Du Chen and Chen Hao, looked at him in worry, afraid that his fragile body couldn't withstand this violent emotion.
In fact, when Chen Hao saw this pill, he subconsciously thought that it was a kind of magic medicine that could draw people's minds.
He had never experienced the old era, so he didn't quite understand Second Master Du's worship for the old master and thought it was craziness.
But when he saw this pill, Chen Hao suddenly felt that he had found the answer.
Could it be that this pill was a hypnotic drug that could control people's minds?
It seemed to be the only explanation. Otherwise, how could Su Zu order around a big figure such as Second Master Du?
Chen Hao even had the urge to reach out his hand to take the pill and smell it.
However, before his hand touched the box, Second Master Du held the box protectively like a fierce beast.
Then, he glared at Chen Hao and shouted, "What are you doing?"
Chen Hao had never seen Second Master Du look so fierce before and he was terrified.
Du Chen, who was standing beside him, was also shocked. He had the same thought as Chen Hao, but only he could voice the worry. "Dad, the doctor said that you can't take drug from unknown sources."
However, to his shock, Second Master Du took out the pill and swallowed it.
