ATBLM [QT] Chapter 128.2

Jiang Rui walked quietly through the courtyard and was about to go directly to her room when she suddenly heard Old Mrs. Shen’s voice coming from inside the room: “Is it Yinyin?”

“Grandma, it’s me.” Jiang Rui heard some movement there, so she stood there and waited. A few minutes later, the old lady came out wearing her coat.

“Did I wake up Grandma?” Jiang Rui stepped forward, took her hand, and sat down in the living room.

The old lady shook her head: “It’s none of your business. People sleep less as they get older.” As she said this, she looked at her granddaughter calmly as if observing something.

This afternoon, she first received a call from her granddaughter, saying that she would not go home for dinner and would treat the young man with the surname Xing to dinner. The old lady knew this and was not surprised.

But, it did not take long before she sent back a text message again, saying that she was going to go to the musical show with the person and could not go home at about ten o’clock. Since her granddaughter has few friends, this situation is rare.

The old lady recalled the two phone calls and text messages and suddenly realized that the frequency of Mr. Xing’s appearance had been a little high recently.

During this period of time, he first visited their house two or three times for business and then learned from her granddaughter that he had met her several times on the road. Now, he has sent her home twice.

You know, before this, although the old lady had heard of the reputation of the young man with the surname Xing, she had never seen him in person. This showed that it was not that easy to meet the person frequently.

Now that her granddaughter had encountered such a thing, either the two of them were really destined to have so many coincidences, or it was a man-made coincidence.

Old Mrs. Shen had experienced so many things, so she did not need to think too much to know that the latter was more likely. That young man was spending so much energy, probably because he had fallen in love with their family Yinyin.

Just looking at her granddaughter’s appearance, she doesn’t seem to know yet.

“Are you having fun tonight?” The old lady asked.

Jiang Rui nodded, “Very good.”

The old lady tentatively asked, “What do you think of Mr. Xing?”

“That’s pretty good.” Jiang Rui nodded again.

The old lady laughed: “Silly girl, you can’t say anything else except this.”

“It’s really good.” Jiang Rui said coquettishly.

The old lady had no power to resist, “Okay, okay, that’s good. It’s getting late, so go back, wash up, and sleep. If you’re hungry, there’s still food in the kitchen.”

“Okay, Grandma should go to bed early too.”

The old lady returned to the room. Old Mr. Shen, who had already been lying down, sat up again and leaned on the bedside at some point. When she came in, he asked, “Is Yinyin back?”

“She was back.” The old lady hung her coat on the hook, slowly sat on the bedside, opened the quilt to cover her legs, and looked like she wasn’t going to sleep for a moment.

“If you can ask, go and find out what Mr. Xing’s character is like, who else is in the family, and whether they are easy to get along with.”

“Why are you asking this?” The old gentleman frowned. It was not his style to inquire about others behind their backs.

The old lady looked at him and said, “He should be interested in our Yinyin, and it seems that Yinyin doesn’t hate him. If the two of them plan to become friends in the future, do you think we should go and find out?” (T/N: Xing Yang: I don’t want to become friends, Grandma, I want to be family, hehe…)

The old gentleman frowned more and more, “He and Yinyin are not suitable.”

“What’s inappropriate?” The old lady asked, “I think that you have some prejudice against this young man from the beginning. Are you like others, looking down on the Xing family and thinking that they are nouveau riche?”

“When have I ever said this? It’s just that Yinyin has a gentle personality. She must find someone with a similar temperament.”

The old lady then said, “According to what you said, I need to find someone who is gentle. Is the little grandson in charge of the Gu family gentle? Look at what that ‘gentle’ man has done?”

“I said that you have read a lot of books, but the more you read, the more stubborn you become. There is no such thing as a personality that should be matched with someone in the world. Only they themselves know whether two people are suitable for each other. As elders, the only thing we need to check is whether the other person’s character is good and whether his family background is clean. Don’t worry about other things. Mind your own business and live longer.”

As the old lady spoke, she slowly lay down with her body propped up. Seeing that her husband had not spoken for a long time, she gave him a push: “I said a bunch of things, but you just said a few words. Just one sentence if you agree or disagree. If you don’t want to ask for fear of losing your face, then I will do it by myself.”

Old Mr. Shen had a stern look on his face and said unwillingly: “What are you messing around with? Then, you said that you had lost your waist and twisted your legs. I’ll go check it out tomorrow.”

As the night got darker, Jiang Rui went back to her room and took a shower. As soon as she lay on the bed, she received a message.

“I just forgot to return the pendant to Miss Shen. It seems that I have to wait until next time.”

“It doesn’t matter. It’s not that important anyway.” She made up a few words to reply.

“I forgot to mention before. I also feel very happy to have dinner with Miss Shen tonight.”

Jiang Rui made a smiling expression.

“I’m going on a business trip tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. It’s really sad to think that I won’t be able to see Miss Shen again until I get back.”

These words sounded a bit ambiguous.

Xing Yan did not wait for the other party to reply and quickly sent the second message, “It’s late at night. I won’t disturb Miss Shen’s rest. Good night.”

He waited for a while before two words came from the other person, “Good night.”

Obviously, if she only types these two words, it won’t take that long.

Xing Yan touched his chin and imagined that the other party was hesitant and embarrassed when she saw the first text message. As he thought about it, the corners of his mouth split on both sides, like a big wild wolf.

“Little beauty, come to Brother’s arms quickly.”

 

*****

The author has something to say:

Old Seven: I want to sleep with my beauty (sweet dream) in my arms tonight!

 

Translator’s Comment:
