It was rare to see Old Master Ding. Thus many people would rather stand beside him than sit down.
Old Master Cheng enjoyed this moment very much. He felt that this was the highlight of his birthday banquet today. Master Lu was on his left, Old Master Ding was on his right, and the other guests were standing around him to celebrate his birthday.
It was a perfect birthday.
Ding Shun couldn’t be bothered with this old man Cheng.
“Girl, did he call you?”
Cheng Ling certainly knew who Ding Shun was referring to and she nodded. However, Old Master Cheng didn’t care about what they were talking about and immediately took over the conversation.
“Old Master Ding, it’s been hard on you to come over this time. Are you feeling better now? You didn’t care about your health and came over, I’m very touched!”
Ding Shun frowned. What was this old man talking about!
He had never suffered from any serious illness.
“I’m always in good health has. I wonder what Old Master Cheng is referring to?”
Hearing this, Cheng Xiao cursed in her heart.
She was so engrossed with the party that she had forgotten her lie.
“The other day, Xiao Xiao called your house and invited you over. But Ding Yu said that you were not well and wouldn’t be able to come. After that when I received your reply, I was very surprised and thought that you had recovered.”
“Ding Yu, that rascal, said that I was unwell?”
Old Master Ding turned his head to look at Ding Yu. It was just a glance, but Ding Yu could feel the pain of the stick on his body and he quickly shook his head.
“Grandpa, I didn’t say that! I swear to the heavens!”
Ding Shun thought about it and was convinced. How could his grandson curse that he was sick? The problem was definitely not Ding Yu.
He then looked at Old Master Cheng. “My grandson would not say such things. I’m afraid that someone is causing trouble.”
Old Master Cheng thought about it for a moment and knew that something must have gone wrong.
He looked at Cheng Xiao. Cheng Xiao immediately lowered her head. It was obvious that she had a guilty conscience.
However, it was not appropriate for him to act up on such an occasion. Thus Old Master Cheng just coughed a few times.
“Oh, I see. Then maybe our Xiao Xiao heard wrongly.”
“Ha.”
Old Master Ding sneered. Although this laughter was light, it sounded very harsh to Cheng Xiao. She suspected that Cheng Ling’s sneer was learned from Old Master Ding.
“It doesn’t matter if you heard wrongly as it’s just that there’s something wrong with your ears. You just need to go to the hospital for a check-up. However, If there’s something wrong with your character, then there’s no hope.”
All the guests present looked at each other and discussed in low voices.
Who didn’t know that Old Master Ding valued a person’s character the most?
If Old Master Ding doubted on a person’s character, then this person would be eliminated forever.
Cheng Xiao couldn’t just admit it. She quickly squatted down and leaned on Old Master Ding’s side.
“Grandpa Ding, I did hear wrongly that day. I’m sorry. You are very strong. You’ll definitely live to a hundred years old.”
“First of all, don’t call me Grandpa Ding. Just call me Old Master Ding. I’m not that familiar with you.”
“Second of all, do you even need to tell me if I’ll live to a hundred years old? With that girl Cheng Ling, I’ll be able to live to a hundred years old!”
Once again, a question mark appeared in the minds of the guests. Why was this matter related to Cheng Ling again?
In their impression, Cheng Ling and the Ding family should only have conflicts. Since when Old Master Ding had grown fond of Cheng Ling?
Thinking of this, everyone was a little scared of Cheng Ling. Since she could get on the good side of the Lu family’s second young master, and Old Master Ding was so partial to her, she must have some extraordinary means.
Fortunately, Old Master Ding did not continue to pursue this matter. He looked at the impenetrable human wall beside him.
“What are all of you standing here for? I want to talk to Cheng Ling for a while now. All of you go to the side and don’t disturb us.”
As soon as Old Master Ding spoke, all the men and women around him dispersed. They held their wine glasses in twos and threes and gathered together, talking about the absurd things that had just happened.
As for Old Master Cheng — Old Master Ding glanced at him.
Forget it, he could sit here if he felt like it. Anyway, this was his home, so it wasn’t his place to care about where he sat.
“Girl, let’s talk about the matter just now. When Old Jin called you, did you pick up?”
“Of course I picked up. Grandpa Ding, you betrayed me again!”
“Hey, how can you say that I betrayed you? Old Jin has been my good friend for many years. I have told him earlier that you definitely won’t agree so easily.”
Cheng Ling shrugged and didn’t deny.
The two of them were chatting happily while the people around were confused, except for Ding Yu.
From what his grandfather said, he could guess that this “Old Jin” should be Grandpa Jin. However, when did Jin Wang get involved with Cheng Ling?
