Upon hearing what he said, these old men exchanged glances with each other and fell silent.
Realizing that something was wrong, Grandfather Sheng raised his eyebrows. “What’s the matter?”
“Old Sheng, we’re not talking about Sheng Yue.”
“Not Sheng Yue?” Grandfather Sheng raised his brows again.?Then which granddaughter are they talking about?
Then, he suddenly realized-
Could it be…
“Old Sheng, we’re talking about that granddaughter of yours who came back home recently. Do you know how great she is? She got full marks on a science exam and 720 points on a liberal arts exam. That’s simply crazy! She’s much better than Sheng Yue, okay?”
Grandpa Sheng was at a loss for words for a while. It took him quite a while to recover from his shock, but he was doubtful.
That girl grew up in a small village but she did so ridiculously well academically, which was unbelievable.
“I’m not yet used to having an extra granddaughter,” he said solemnly, but he didn’t look as cheerful as when he came.
Hmph, how dare his elder son and elder daughter-in-law treat him like this? They hadn’t even told him this!
“Hehe, that’s normal.”
“But we’re all very curious how your son and daughter-in-law educated your granddaughter to be so great.”
“Yes, tell us. Maybe their advice might work on my grandchildren, but I remember she grew up in Bailuan Village, didn’t she?”
Mr. Sheng took a sip of tea and smiled at his old friends, saying, “Maybe it’s because of our family’s good genes.”
The others glanced at him and once again fell silent.
He had obviously forgotten this granddaughter. How did he have the cheek to attribute it to his genes?
Alas, this girl was really unlucky to be Old Sheng’s granddaughter. If she were their granddaughter, they would definitely have treated her like the apple of their eye.
Not paying attention to his friends’ expressions, Grandfather Sheng lowered his head and mused.
Now it seemed that this granddaughter was quite valuable. Sheng Yue had never achieved such good results on an exam. Unfortunately, Sheng Yang didn’t seem to know much about the ways of the world.
If Sheng Yang was a sensible girl, she would’ve tried to persuade her parents not to disrespect him!
On this point alone, she was far worse than Sheng Yue.

It was a small restaurant with only two floors.
The interior was simple and fashionable. The lines were clean and simple with white walls and light yellow spiral wooden stairs, and a feather wind chime was gently ringing.
Jin Si stood by the table, quietly watching Sheng Tingze who was eating. He cut a piece of beef, put it into his mouth, took a bite, and frowned.
But his good table manners kept him from spitting it out. He swallowed the beef with difficulty and his handsome face wrinkled. Watching this, Jin Si frowned.
Mr. Sheng was very picky about food. He usually either ate at the office before or went to a Michelin-star restaurant.
But even if he ate at the office, his food must be made by a Michelin chef.
His taste buds were extremely sensitive to food.
But in fact… he didn’t have to give himself such a hard time.
Jin Si didn’t understand why Mr. Sheng chose such a restaurant that wasn’t close to the office and didn’t serve good food.
