Shi Yao knew that Grandpa Lin was intentionally changing the topic, but she also knew that Grandpa Lin was speaking from the bottom of his heart.
All these years, Grandpa Lin had truly treated her well, even better than her biological parents …
So, as Shi Yao listened to Grandpa Lin's words, her heart softened, and a hint of warmth surfaced in her eyes. "Grandpa Lin, thank you."
"Silly child, there's no need to thank me. I'm the one who has let you down. I didn't teach that brat well …" Grandpa Lin sighed deeply. "Yaoyao, we still have the chefs at home. They remember the dishes you like very well, and you also know the phone number of the chauffeur. Feel free to order him around, including Beijing World Hotel. You can go there if you like. Put it on my tab, so don't stand on ceremony … Also, Yaoyao, remember to pay me a visit whenever you're free … Don't forget to visit me just because you're no longer related to that brat …"
Hearing those words, Shi Yao's eyes couldn't help but redden. "Grandpa Lin, don't worry. I'll pay you a visit whenever I'm free. You have to take care of your health too. Don't get angry all the time …"
"Alright, alright. Yaoyao is still the most considerate one. Yaoyao, you're the best …" Grandpa Lin repeated the word 'good' several times before reluctantly hanging up the call.
…
It wasn't that Shi Yao wasn't curious about how Lin Jiage managed to convince Grandpa Lin to agree to annul their engagement, but Grandpa Lin refused to say a word even after hanging up the call. Shi Yao couldn't possibly force Grandpa Lin to talk about it, so she eventually gave up on the thought.
Other than the one call from Grandpa Lin on the afternoon of his visit to Shi Yao's house, Shi Yao didn't receive any other news regarding the Lin Family for the next few days.
Of course, this Lin Family also included Lin Jiage.
In contrast to the silence at the Lin Family, Shi Yao's parents' side was much livelier.
Unable to get through to her phone, her parents came to the academy to look for her. Initially, Shi Yao managed to meet them a few times. Her father had a bad temper, and he would lash out at her the moment he saw her. Her mother, on the other hand, had a mild-mannered personality, but she would always try to persuade her to look for Lin Jiage to redeem her relationship with Lin Jiage. Shi Yao's heart was cold and vexed, so regardless of whether it was her father or her crying mother, she chose to avoid them.
Such days lasted for about half a month.
Over the past half a month, Shi Yao's life hadn't changed much. She would attend classes, tutor her students, and when she was free, she would either have Mister Numbers teach her how to play games step by step, or she would play with Juice's Expert Squad.
During this period of time, Team 21 participated in the tournament a second time, and just like the first time, they won the championship. As a member of Team 21, Shi Yao received around 300,000 RMB.
However, in this period of time, Shi Yao's gains weren't limited to just the three hundred thousand RMB. Her gaming skills had improved a little too. While she wasn't as skilled as Expert or Juice, she wasn't so weak that she would be trampled on by others in the tournament.
