Senior Master Xiang patted his little head and chuckled, “If you acknowledge me as your god-grandfather, you would surely stay by my side. I’d take care of you, send you to the best school, give you the best care, your starting point will be higher than many, and you’ll go farther than most.”

“Oh,” Lingyue’s jet-black yet clear eyes focused on him, placidly he replied, “Then, no. I want to stay with Xiao Shu. He’s too young. I want to always be his classmate, take care of him.”

If he stayed here, and Xiao Shu went back to school alone, what if someone bullied Xiao Shu?

He’s studying martial arts every day now; he’ll soon get incredible strength.

He wanted to be with Xiao Shu all the time, never letting anyone bully Xiao Shu again.

Senior Master Xiang was taken aback for a moment, then he roared with laughter. Pointing at Lingyue, he turned to Gu Junzhu, “I wasn’t wrong. This boy is a good seed! So young yet so decisive and compassionate. He’s a good boy indeed!”

Gu Junzhu grinned and nodded, “Yes, Xiaoyue is indeed a good boy.”

Xiao Shumiao tightly hugged Gu Junzhu’s neck cheerfully, “Brother Xiaoyue is the best! He will help Xiao Shu fight, and he’s as smart as Xiao Shu. He scores first place, a hundred points!”

“This smart?” Senior Master Xiang was even more pleased, took a moment to ponder before saying to Gu Junzhu, “Junzhu, I must say, this boy really clicks with me. I can’t understand why, but the more I look at him, the more I like him. I’ve made up my mind about this god-grandson.”

“If he isn’t willing to stay in Beijing, that’s okay. We, as foster-grandfather and grandson, can at least acknowledge our kinship. This boy, Uncle Xiang entrusts him to you. You take care of him first. Once he and your son are grown, have them apply to schools in Beijing. Once they’re in Beijing, I can be reunited with my god-grandson!”

Gu Junzhu laughed, “Uncle Xiang, you’re trying to acquire something for nothing, aren’t you?”

“Who says?” Senior Master Xiang glared, took out a pocket watch from his bosom, and stuffed it into Lingyue’s hand, “This is my most treasured possession, even Jiechao never had it. I have a good rapport with this boy, I’ll give it to him! With this pocket watch, he can freely enter the Xiang Residence, and no one would dare to block him!”

Gu Junzhu had known Senior Master Xiang since he was a kid, he knew this pocket watch was the love token Senior Master Xiang’s wife gave him when she was alive. This pocket watch was Senior Master Xiang’s most treasured possession.

Senior Master Xiang actually gave Lingyue this pocket watch. It was clear that he was serious about acknowledging Lingyue as his god-grandson.

Gu Junzhu thought that Senior Master Xiang was driven to desperation by those good-for-nothings of the Xiang Family. He intended to take a roundabout way to save the situation.

To groom someone capable for the Xiang Family, and when Lingyue became successful in the future, he would help manage the Xiang Family’s matters.

Just as expected from Senior Master Xiang, indeed a wise… ahem, no, brilliant and insightful!

Becoming Senior Master Xiang’s god-grandson would only benefit Lingyue, there’s no disadvantage to it. Gu Junzhu agreed with this.

But after all, Lingyue had no real relationship with him, so ultimately it depends on Lingyue’s own opinion.

He looked at Lingyue and said with a smile, “Xiaoyue, if you’re willing, you can kowtow to Grandpa Xiang. From then on, you’ll be his god-grandson.”

To be frank, Uncle Gu hopes you accept. Grandpa Xiang is a very respected and powerful person. Once you are Grandpa Xiang’s god-grandson, it would be much harder for anyone to bully you.”

Lingyue looked at him, then asked, “If I become a god-grandson, can I stay with Xiao Shu?”
