The elderly man immediately nodded his head. “Scriptwriter, ah. It is good to be a scriptwriter. A person with culture.”

Yun Shu scratched her face and said embarrassedly, “I’m still a newcomer. I am unworthy of the words “person with culture”.”

The old man’s tone softened down and comforted her, “Take your time. Everyone was a newcomer. Work hard and persevere without giving up. You will achieve your success sooner or later.”

Yun Shu blushed and said in a small voice, “Thank you.”

……

Yun Shu also asked the elderly man the same question, “Then why are you here? Are you here to visit someone’s workplace? Is it to visit your grandson?”

Looking at the manner of speech and dressing, the old man was either rich or noble. He seemed to be unfamiliar with the entertainment industry from what he said. So he should not be someone from the industry. Plus, the old man said his grandson was coming over, so Yun Shu naturally guessed that he was here to visit someone’s workplace.

The old man was really here to visit someone’s workplace. But it was not his grandson’s, but his granddaughter-in-law’s.

To be precise, it was his grandson’s girlfriend.

“To see an actress. She’s going to be filming here in the next few days, so I thought I’d come over and take a look.”

Yun Shu’s eyes wandered at the old man and glanced at him again. The elderly man became impatient from her glances and asked her what exactly she was looking at.

Yun Shu said, “Your granddaughter-in-law… No, your grandson’s girlfriend isn’t aware of this, right? So did you come here secretly? And also sneak over by acting first before reporting later and then was found out by your grandson?”

Yun Shu’s guess was mostly correct. The only wrong thing was that the elderly man was not discovered by his grandson, but he realised he did not know where his granddaughter-in-law was and could only put aside his pride and ask his grandson’s help.

But would the old man say it? No. Not only would he not say it, but he also turned his head and remained silent, showing an “I didn’t hear anything” look.

Yun Shu, “Oooh.”

— Looks like she is right.

……

After this small interlude, the two of them became closer. Yun Shu even took out the dessert she made and shared it with the old man, who unexpectedly liked sweets.

They talked and ate at the same time. Then, Yun Shu couldn’t help but tell her own woes.

She didn’t say too specifically. The general idea was that she had a boyfriend, but she was not destined to be with her boyfriend in the future. Now, she didn’t know whether to continue being together with her boyfriend.

Then, the old man revealed a mocking expression as an experienced person.

The elderly man went straight to the point, “Do you like your boyfriend?”

In front of a stranger, Yun Shu was franker and nodded her head. “Yes, he is the first person I like.”

After being troubled for a few days, she clearly understood that she liked Fu Ran.

She liked his face, body, and money. Later on, she liked the gentle him, the considerate him, the one who would coax her, the adorable him… When the small details accumulated together, she liked him.

And perhaps not just like.

Because she began to be unable to imagine what life would be like without him.

……

Yun Shu said, “I also love him.”

The old man spoke as blunt as before, “Then you should continue to be with him.”

“But…”

“Why are there so many ‘but’?” If this were his own children or grandchildren, he would have smacked her with his hands to wake her up. “Other than the past, nothing is certain. If you don’t even work hard for your own future, will the Heavens give you what you want for free?”

Yun Shu’s eyes widened.

In a loud voice, the old man continued to persuade her, “Why are there so many things by you young people? If you like someone, just do it. Where did this sentimentality come from? If you are afraid that he will leave you, make him like you even more. If there is a love rival, rush up to exterminate the love rival. Worst comes to worst, lock him up, and he will be your person since he can’t escape.”
