Qiu Yingshan felt ttered by the attention, nodding eagerly as he quickened his pace.
He first adjusted the bamboo stool and then took a seat in front of Lin Wan’er (ni), speaking with respect, “Miss… yes, I… I have a granddaughter who is currently in Aurous Hill for an interview. I invited her to the manor as a guest, and I thought it would be nice to share a home-cooked meal. I only found out this morning, so please forgive me for not informing you earlier.”
Lin Wan’er (ni) picked up a new teacup, rinsed it with tea, and replied with a smile, “This is your home; you’re the host. There’s no need to inform me if you wish to entertain guests; I’m just one of them.”
Without hesitation, Qiu Yingshan responded, “Miss, this brings me to the second matter I wish to discuss. It’s not often I see you appreciate this ce, and given my age, I fear I may not return here again. I want to gift you the Zijin Vi, and I sincerely hope you will ept it!”
Lin Wan’er (ni) was momentarily taken aback, then shook her head and smiled, “I’m uncertain how long I will remain here; it would be better for you to pass it on to your descendants.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Qiu Yingshan quickly replied, “Miss, my descendants have grown up with all theforts, and their tempers are rather impetuous. Honestly, they are not worthy of such a gift. It would be a waste to give them a ce like this, so please don’t be polite with me.”
Lin Wan’er (ni) shrugged, handed him the tea, and said with a grin, “Since you insist, I won’t refuse. If therees a day when I no longer need the house and you are still around, I will return it to you. If you’re not here anymore, I will pass it on to your descendants.”
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yingshan let out a sigh of relief and smiled, “That’s entirely up to you.”<fn3794> For original chapters go to FindN()vel</fn3794>
Lin Wan’er (ni) gestured towards the cup of tea she poured for him and remarked lightly, “Have a drink; you seem a bit out of breath, and it’s truly awkward. Next time, don’t climb so high. If you need me, just call or send me a WeChat message.”
Qiu Yingshan bowed respectfully and said, “I understand!”
As he spoke, he carefully lifted the teacup, took a sip, then nced at the tea cake beside the charcoal stove, asking tentatively, “Miss, is this Songpin tea to your liking?”
Qiu Yingshan had it brought from Hong Kong Ind as a gift for Lin Wan’er (ni).
This particr Pu’er tea cake has a history of hundreds of years, making it one of the finest. Lin Wan’er (ni) had mentioned her desire for Pu’er tea cake in a list she provided to her sister, but she didn’t specify a type, so he chose to buy the most expensive and best avable.
Lin Wan’er (ni) smiled slightly and said, “A tea that can fetch hundreds of millions in the market is certainly not ordinary. If you were to buy it, this would indeed be the most expensive and exquisite Pu’er tea you could find.”
Then, with a yful tone, Lin Wan’er (ni) added, “But it still falls short of my favorite tea cake.”
With a smile, Qiu Yingshan replied, “Anything that can be purchased with money pales inparison to Miss’s treasures.”
Lin Wan’er (ni) responded with a slight smile and asked, “Old Qiu, is there something you want to discuss with me?”
Qiu Yingshan chuckled and said, “It seems I cannot hide anything from your keen insight!”
He continued, “Miss, here’s the situation: my granddaughter is applying for a lecturer position at Aurous Hill University. Given her qualifications, she stands a good chance. You might be studying there in the future; it would be good for you to get to know her now. She might be able to help you in the future.”
“I see…” Lin Wan’er (ni) smiled slyly and said casually, “If fate allows it, I’d be open to getting to know her!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
