Richest Man: Divine-Grade Reconstruct System-Chapter 605 - 561: The Art of Speaking

Perhaps it was because he hadn't reacted immediately, that after Ouyang Lei shouted this, Lin Yi hastily followed suit and was about to shout "Attention."

But at this moment, Mu Yunrou suddenly spoke up.

Just as Lin Yi was about to shout those three words, Mu Yunrou was the first to greet:

"Grandpa."

It was these simple two words that directly confirmed all of Lin Yi's previous speculations.

In an instant, he was a little dumbfounded by those two words.

Even though he had guessed it earlier, seeing it with his own eyes and hearing it with his own ears was still enough to be shocking.

However, being shocked in his heart, his mouth instinctively followed with a shout:

"Grandpa."

As soon as this "Grandpa" came out, Ouyang Lei beside him was instantly dumbfounded.

He looked at Lin Yi, somewhat dazed, unable to believe how this kid suddenly shouted something like that.

Although it was always known that this kid had quite thick skin, it was never imagined it would be to such an extent.

Moreover, what kind of occasion was it now, and who was in front of them? The fact that this guy could still pull it off made Ouyang Lei quite admire this kid.

This was Ouyang Lei's thought. On the side, Mu Yunrou's pretty face was slightly flushed upon hearing Lin Yi's greeting, though she quickly concealed it.

Actually, it wasn't entirely Mu Yunrou's fault for overthinking. If Lin Yi had called "Grandpa" before she spoke, it wouldn't have mattered.

After all, anyone would have the right to call someone "Grandpa" or "Uncle" when meeting their grandpa.

It's both respectful and intimate, which doesn't matter.

But the slightly embarrassing part was that she had just called the word "Grandpa," and before the words even finished, this guy promptly added another "Grandpa," which was a bit intriguing.

However, she wasn't a sentimental person, nor was she narcissistic.

She knew Lin Yi must have been a bit nervous meeting her grandpa for the first time, hence the duplicative outburst.

She wouldn't naively think that Lin Yi's words carried any real meaning inside.

After all, though this little guy in front of her was extremely impressive, don't forget, he was only a twenty-year-old young man.

Of course, to say that Mu Yunrou had no thoughts about this would be unrealistic either, since there's an ancient saying, "A seductive gentleman makes a good match with a fair lady."

If the other person weren't already married, she certainly wouldn't let go of such a good man.

But now? In a situation where the other person is already settled, she would never do such a thing.

Now, she completely regarded the other party as a younger brother.

This is the difference between Mu Yunrou and Ouyang Ying.

Mu Yunrou, more than anything, acted like a true noblewoman, with her boundaries, knowing what should and shouldn't be done.

Of course, this is somewhat off-topic, back to the main story.

The two were directly frozen by Lin Yi's "Grandpa."

After shouting this "Grandpa," Lin Yi's body also felt tense, and his face simultaneously showed a wry smile.

He looked up apologetically at Mu Yunrou, giving her an awkward smile, indicating he didn't mean anything else, hoping she wouldn't overthink.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi immediately turned his gaze to the old man in front of him, revealing a wry smile, and re-greeted:

"Attention, sir."

However, upon hearing Lin Yi's words, the old man opposite him chuckled, pointed at Lin Yi, and spoke in a very kind tone:

"You stinky kid, what's this? I can't even bear you calling me 'Grandpa'?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi hurriedly tried to explain, but the other party didn't give him the opportunity, directly interrupting:

"Alright, just call me 'Grandpa' like Xiao Rou does.

I haven't even thanked you yet for what you did for my grandson. Why speak so distantly?"

When the old man said this, he directly solidified Lin Yi's identity.

It was clear that he didn't consider Lin Yi an outsider at all, and was telling Lin Yi they were family from now on.

This couldn't help but make Ouyang Lei on the side feel a bit sour, knowing that Lin Yi was originally very good with their family.

Their family's current status was also greatly connected to Lin Yi.

And now? Watching helplessly as Lin Yi was about to be taken away by the other party, he had no way of intervening, making the situation quite frustrating.

But there was nothing he could do, as their family's influence was also limited, the support they could provide Lin Yi was limited, and compared with the person in front of them, it was overwhelmingly insufficient.

Moreover, there was nothing wrong with what the other person said.

The man straightforwardly said, "I haven't thanked you yet for saving my grandson," which directly brought the topic to a family level.

Not only that, but he also directly placed Lin Yi in the position of a benefactor of the family.

Given such an identity, Lin Yi's status and position when speaking to the other party were already established.

With that identity in place, it also directly told Lin Yi, "I won't let you suffer losses, nor would I covet anything from you."

It's undeniable that this is where the other's brilliance lies, stating his attitude between the lines right off the bat.

If you insist on probing further, the person hadn't said anything explicit.

This made Ouyang Lei on the side feel like he learned something new.

At the very least, he could never learn this from his grandpa.

After all, grandpa had spent a lifetime as a soldier, with a straightforward and blunt disposition, just like the character of his sister.

Seeing that a few people were still standing there, Grandpa Mu waved his hand and told everyone to sit down:

"Don't just stand there, everyone sit down. Xiao Lei, if you have nothing else, you sit too."

After saying this, Ouyang Lei, who was about to sit down, immediately stood up straight and loudly responded:

"Reporting, sir! I have a tight meeting to attend, Lin Yi has been brought here, awaiting your instructions, sir."

Grandpa Mu Mu grinned after hearing that and waved his hand:

"Alright, there are no outsiders here, no need to be so formal. Since you have matters to attend to, go ahead, convey my regards to your grandpa."

Although the other person said to avoid formality, in principle, it must always be strictly followed, never doing anything beyond one's authority.

After all, without rules, nothing can be accomplished.
