"You can't even do that, Grandpa?" Guan Gao Huan's voice was filled with bitterness and disappointment. The old man was clearly hesitating. He chuckled bitterly. "Then you should not have said that you're willing to give me everything."
"Gao Huan..."
"I still respect Grandpa even with the past between us, so you don't have to worry about it." Guan Gao Huan stood up. "I brought Da Hong Pao tea with me. Let me brew it for you."
