“I will not laugh. I will not laugh.” Old Master Su immediately put his hands up with a serious expression but one second later, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter again.

For Old Master to be able to reconcile with his granddaughter, he had been very happy and energetic these few days. Even his mental condition seemed to be very good, too.

Second aunt came in from the dining room and said while smiling, “You two should come back often if you are free. Look, the moment you came home, the atmosphere turned livelier.”

Old Master nodded his head in agreement and even said to Mo Jin, “Xiao Jin can come home to play whenever you are free.”

Mo Jin smiled and nodded. “Thank you, Grandpa.”

“The food is served, it’s time to eat,” Second aunt called out. She smiled before going forward to help Old Master to the dining table.

Shi Guang and Mo Jin followed behind them and upon seeing that Second aunt was going back to the kitchen, Shi Guang immediately went forward and asked, “Where’s Second uncle?”

“Your Second uncle has been busy with a project recently. I think it’s located at The Bund and I heard that the scale of the project is huge. Anyway, he said that it’s very important and after that, there’s still a large scale auction taking place. He needs to be present there personally, too,” replied Second aunt.

Su Qianxun curiously asked, “Today is Sunday and yet he still has to work?”

Second aunt was helpless. “Don’t even talk about it. He even had a video-call meeting at home and told me to not disturb him unless there were any important issues.”

Mo Jin said, “How can he skip his meals? How about this, Shi Guang go and take a look. If he doesn’t have a meeting ask him to come down to eat.”

Shi Guang agreed and notified her Second aunt before going upstairs. She knocked on her Second uncle’s door.

After knocking a few times, nobody answered and hence she pushed the door open.

Nobody was inside the study room. Shi Guang stepped further inside and walked to the study table where she saw some enveloped documents, after which she scanned the entire room. Towards the shelf in the study room, she called out, “Second uncle, are you here? Second uncle…”

After a while, Su Qiudao walked out from between the shelf and was startled by Shi Guang’s presence. “Shi Guang, you are here?”

“I’ve been here for quite a while now. I haven’t seen you yet and it’s already time to eat now. Since you haven’t gone down, I came here to call you. No matter how busy you are, you should still at least eat your meals.”

“I will eat later, you can eat first.”

“No way, we should eat together. Besides, Second uncle, Grandpa is waiting for you.”

Su Qiudao heard that the Old Master was waiting for him and hesitated for a while. In the end, he pulled a smile and prepared to leave with Shi Guang. Yet, the moment he saw the document on the study table, he took it and quickly went to the back portion of the study table. He pulled a drawer to place the document in it and then locked it.

When they were descending the stairs, Su Qiudao asked Shi Guang, “Did you see the contents in the document just now?”

Shi Guang shook her head. “I did not see anything. Second uncle, I am not interested in these. Lu Yanchen’s documents are always left on the sofa and bed but I’m too lazy to flip it so I just close his documents and throw it to the side.”

Since she only managed a glance, all she accidentally saw was the title of the document that was in all caps. It said something along the lines of auction.

After that, she had shifted her gaze and as for the contents in the document, she had no idea.

Su Qiudao stopped Shi Guang and looked at her with a stern and serious look. With a stern voice he said, “Regardless of whether you saw it or not, you must not tell anyone about the details of the document. Do you understand?”

Shi Guang could suddenly feel the seriousness of the matter.

She nodded her head with all seriousness. “Second uncle, you can be a hundred percent sure that other than the title, I did not see anything. But even if I did see anything, I will not tell anyone about it, including Lu Yanchen!”
