In the end, Grandpa didn't manage to trick the painting out of Lu Rui's hands.
Because Lu Rui rightly declared that, fake or not, it was the first gift his daughter had given him, and of course, he would treasure it.
Grandpa fumed, "Unfilial son!"
Before Qiao Yun left, Grandpa gave her a pile of gifts, including exquisite pastries, top-grade Dahongpao tea, and one of his favored paintings.
Watching this, Lu Shiran was puzzled and asked, "Grandpa, did you take the wrong one? Don't you really like this painting?"
"I see Qiaoqiao likes paintings, what's wrong with giving her one! It's my painting, can't I decide?" Grandpa reproached with a tone that wasn't very pleasant.
"Alright, alright, I didn't say anything. Do you need to snap at me?" Lu Shiran muttered, "No longer loved, I'm no longer Grandpa's favorite little grandson."
Qiao Yun looked from one to the other and handed the pastries and Dahongpao to Lu Shiran, "Here, for you."
