Chapter 189
Love Is Fair
Chapter 189 Before Hailey and Ava went up to hug the old man, a Lamborghini came from not far away. Brook got out of the car, took off his sunglasses and was surprised and delighted to see Jason Newman, âJason, itâs really you, I heard about your old manâs appearance in Poya and was about to step down to catch up with you.â After being apart for a few years, the old man still looked fit and healthy, with a lot more silver hair on top of his head, deep furrows on his face, a kind smile, and a bluff when he was serious. The corners of Jasonâs mouth twitched, and he stared at Brook. âGrandson, what kind of bullshit are you talking about, watch out for grandpa beating your ass with a tobacco pipe.â He pulled out the tobacco pipe from his waist and held it up in a gesture. Brook was not afraid of him at all, instead, he walked up to him smilingly. âYouâre still using this old tobacco pipe, itâs many years old, Iâll give you a new one later.â âYou donât know shit.â The old man slapped Brookâs hand away and raised his eyebrows. âI like old things, Iâm not used to new things.â Brook laughed, âCome on, youâre a jade carving master, a master of antiques, I dare not say anything about you.â âBut your clothes, are they antiques 100? If I had cash with me, I could still pay you two cheques.â The old man grunted, âNow itâs popular to pay by scanning a code, when I sew a code on my clothing, you come over and scan it.â
Brook laughed, âOkay, no problem.â Chris and a group of bodyguards listened in awe. Honestly, looking at this dirty old man in his plain, rough suit, along with ragged shoes and old cigarette pipe, who looked like coming from the eighties, they really couldnât believe that this was Grandpa Jason He was the father of Scott Newman, Morgan Newman and Reid Newman, and the grandfather of Hailey Newman, Eve Newman, and Ava Newman, who was known as âJason Newman.â People would have thought he was a poor beggar if they didnât know. Only then did Ava come to her senses, and she went forward to hug the old man, with her face full of excitement. âGrandpa, where have you been these three years, we canât find you anywhere.â
Jason treated his granddaughter with a naturally much softer expression. âGrandpa is dirty, donât stain your beautiful dressâ¦â¦ I, while my legs are still fit, I want to make use of it and see the world.â The latter half of this sentence, as is specifically explained to Hailey, touched the eyes of the eldest granddaughter Hailey said indifferently, âIs that so, you are not deliberately hiding from me?â
âOf course not.â Jason retorted with his head held high, âI am a grandfather, why would I avoid my own granddaughter? It wonât make sense.â Chris said, âHailey, the sun is quite strong, so letâs go inside and talk. We chased the old man for three blocks before we could finally catch up, weâre fine, but Iâm afraid the old man will get tired and suffer from heat stroke.â The atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.
Brook looked at the old manâs embarrassed expression and couldnât help but snort out a laugh. Hailey looked at her grandfather, with her eyes looking vacuous. âYou silly girl, why are you giving me a hard time.â Jason made a gesture to Chris and said angrily, âIâm walking so normal, and you guys have to come after me, so I have to run, now Iâm tired from all the running and sweating.â Chris muttered, âYou ran first, so we chased you.â When the old man was about to get angry again, Brook hurriedly came up to smooth things out. âOkay, okay, end of the topic now, it wonât lead to anything.â Then he turned his head and said to Hailey, who was standing next to him. âHailey, why are you standing there, why donât you hurry up and invite your grandfather home?â Hailey was just about to go forward to invite the old man in when Jason ducked to the side. âNo, I wonât go in!â His face was full of resistance, and he squatted at the root of the wall again. Just now Chris and the others invited the old man into the Garden of Rose to take a rest, but he refused to go in, so they had to wait with him outside the Garden of Rose. When he saw the old manâs resistance, Brook was not sure what to make of it, but when he saw Haileyâs calmed face, his heart tightened and he felt that if this continued, the girl would blow up. âI say, grandpa, what are you doing, how can you pass through the house without entering?â Brook also squatted down and spoke kindly, âYour granddaughter misses you every day, now that youâre back, let her serve you well. Go home, take a bath, eat a full meal, and get a good nightâs sleep. You havenât tasted her cooking for a long time, have you?â
+ 20 When Brook said this. Jasonâs mouth went dry, and he couldnât help but purse it. He craved his eldest granddaughterâs cooking 6HLL SLUUNILEâ¦
âIâm not going in either.â He fiddled with his tobacco pipe as if he wanted to smoke another round and didnât dare to look up to see Haileyâs face. âYou guys can just look at me a few more times if you miss me, Iâll go back to my own place after smoking this potâ
Haileyâs face sank completely. âWhere are you going? Do you have a place to stay in Poya?â Jason strained his neck. âOf course I do!â
Chris glanced at the old man and then looked at Hailey. âThe old man is talking about a thatched hut, itâs very shabby, and used to be a place to raise mules.â Haileyâs face sank. âGrandpa!â She gave Jason a jolt. âYou just gave me the shivers, you kid, why is your voice so loud?â Seeing his granddaughterâs icy glare, Jason mumbled, âWhatâs wrong with the thatched hut? Iâve been living there and itâs quite nice. Besides, who says you canât live in a place where mules are kept?â
Haileyâs eyes were siightly red, and she didnât want to say any more nonsense. âOld K.â
âYes.â Old K popped up out of nowhere. Hailey said, âInvite grandpa home.â Old Kanswered and immediately went forward and picked up Jason. Jason was still in a crouching position before and was shocked by this fierce hug, âWhat? What are you doing? I said Iâm not going in â¦â¦ Help!â
The old manâs resistance was in vain, and he was carried into the Garden of Rose.
Brook heard Jasonâs screaming and couldnât help but laugh. âThe old man is really getting more and more arrogant with age, just like you. You certainly are raised properly by him.â
He stretched out his hand and scratched Haileyâs nose, and Hailey wrinkled her nose âIâm much more well behaved than him.â
âCome on, when youâre naughty and angry everyone is scared of you.â
Seeing that she was about to fall out, Brook immediately said, âWell, since weâve got him back, Iâll pop out now, you two havenât seen each other for a long time, you guys should have a chat. Donât make the old man angry.â
Hailey nodded.
As soon as he left, Hailey turned back and looked at the Garden of Rose, her eyes brightened and suddenly spoke, âAvaâ
Ava was shocked by what just happened just now âSister?â
Hailey smiled. âCome over and help, letâs have a teast tonight!
