Chapter 873 Unresolved Conflict

When Nan Chen was going back to the city, he received a call from Chai Hua, telling him that Nan Zhengde wanted him to go to Commoner Residence.

Nan Chen asked Chai Hua why was that, but Chai Hua merely said Nan Zhengde wanted to have a chat with him.

Nan Chen knew that his grandfather was constantly keeping his eyes on Nanshi Corporation. So many things have happened in Nanshi Corporation recently, so Grandpa must've found out about it. However, he most probably thought I could handle the issues at hand, so he never called. Why does he want to see me all of a sudden? This is weird.

After Nan Chen arrived at Commoner Residence, Chai Hua reminded him not to get on Nan Zhengde's nerves because the elderly man had thrown a tantrum earlier that day.

Chai Hua didn't know what Nan Zhengde was mad about, but he told Nan Chen that Bai Hua and her husband had visited earlier that day.

Upon hearing that, Nan Chen guessed that his ill-natured parents had said something that ended up infuriating Nan Zhengde.

When Nan Chen arrived in the study room, however, Nan Zhengde didn't seem irritated. Instead, the old man was practicing his calligraphy calmly. At that moment, there were a few sheets of paper on the floor, and they all had the word “morality” on them.

Nan Chen approached Nan Zhengde and picked up one of the sheets of paper off the ground. “Grandpa, why do you keep writing this word?”

“How does it look?” Nan Zhengde responded with a question.

“Well, your calligraphy has always been superb, Grandpa. If I sing your praises, you'll say I'm pretentious like the others. Hence, I have no choice but to pick holes in it. Yet, I can't, and it's so frustrating,” Nan Chen replied.

Nan Zhengde chuckled in amusement. “You have a unique way of flattering me, don't you? I expect nothing less from the grandson of my choice.”
