When he was young, he studied overseas and could have stayed abroad, but he had a passion for his motherland, so he firmly decided to return to his own country. After returning, he made significant contributions to the scientific community.
Now that he's old, he rarely makes public appearances. But today, everyone has the privilege of seeing him because he's always indulged his grandson, Julian Rhodes, to the extreme.
Scarlett Xavier was actually quite excited to see him. She wasn't particularly interested in wealthy people or tycoons, but she had great admiration for this patriotic old hero.
After Griffin Grandpa greeted Uncle Meng and her mother, his gaze fell on her—after all, Scarlett Xavier was the main character today.
"Granddaughter-in-law, come here, let Grandpa take a look at you."
Griffin Grandpa's enthusiasm somewhat startled Scarlett Xavier.
"Hello, Grandpa."
When she was in school, Grandpa Griffin was featured in her textbooks, and she hadn't expected to see him in person now.
A sense of respect arose spontaneously within her.
Scarlett Xavier sat in a spot closer to Griffin Grandpa.
Griffin Grandpa looked at Scarlett Xavier and chatted with her for a while, then raised his head and said to Old Du, "Where's Ah-Rhodes? Why hasn't he come down yet?"
Old Du said, "I'll go call him right away."
Julian Rhodes didn't go to work today, enjoying a rare day off, but he was kept at home by Grandpa, not allowed to go anywhere.
Griffin Grandpa said, "He really is something, with his wife here but not in a hurry. Quickly, make him come down."
Whenever talking about this, Griffin Grandpa took on a very stern appearance.
Scarlett Xavier sat nearby, watching Griffin Grandpa's fierce demeanor, and remembering the man she saw in the hospital yesterday who seemed so aloof—unexpectedly, he was also reprimanded like this at home.
Scarlett Xavier thoughtfully said, "He's busy, surely has things to do. It's okay if he doesn't come down."
"How can that be?" Griffin Grandpa widened his eyes and said, "Scarlett, it's not easy for you to marry into our family. If Julian bullies you, remember to tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will definitely stand up for you and teach him a good lesson."
Seeing the old man's fiercely protective demeanor, Scarlett felt warmth in her heart, and she became less uneasy about being new to the Griffin Family.
Soon after, Old Du returned alone; Julian Rhodes hadn't come.
Old Du said to Griffin Grandpa, "Ah-Rhodes is still upstairs, wanting Young Madam to go find him."
Upon hearing this, Griffin Grandpa was displeased, "Is he putting on airs now? Should I go and invite him myself?"
Old Du explained, "He said he wants to spend time alone with Young Madam. With us around, it's inconvenient!"
Scarlett Xavier: "..."
That shameless man!
He's quite good at tricking.
Griffin Grandpa was easily coaxed; upon hearing this, he immediately laughed, "Alright, alright."
Even though Scarlett Xavier preferred to stay downstairs with Grandpa rather than meeting Julian Rhodes, everyone was watching, so she simply decided to go upstairs.
Now that she was Julian Rhodes's wife, Old Du directly led her to Julian's room door, "Third Master is inside, Madam, please."
Scarlett Xavier said, "Thank you."
Old Du said, "Then I won't disturb you two."
Saying that, Old Du smiled with a rather suggestive expression.
Scarlett Xavier: "..."
She didn't feel anything initially, but seeing Old Du's smile, she couldn't help but feel a bit awkward.
After Old Du left, she knocked on the door, which soon opened.
Today, Julian Rhodes was wearing a soft white shirt, black long trousers, with a towel draped over his shoulder. He had just washed his hair, and it was still wet.
