Chu Chengrui invited Chu Ge into the house, seating him on a chair next to a small orange round table in the living room. He first asked Chu Ge what kind of tea he liked, then took out some tea leaves from a cabinet and went to the kitchen to boil a pot of water. He seemed very familiar with the place, suggesting that he was no stranger here.
If it were some other elderly person, Chu Ge would certainly have declined politely, saying something like "please don't bother," but for this enigmatic Mr. Chu, he said nothing, just sat quietly on the chair and waited patiently.
After setting the water to boil, Chu Chengrui returned to the small living room and sat down on a chair opposite Chu Ge.
"Little Chu, to be honest, inviting you here like this must seem a bit abrupt. Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Chu Chengrui, and the person who used to live here, Chu Shiyao, is my granddaughter. The reason I've sought you out is also because of Yaoyao."
