âGrandpa?â The protagonist ignored her and addressed the old man softly.
Old Master Lin ignored her with an expressionless face.
Is silence his way of acknowledging Su Qing Ningâs accusation?
The woman cocked her brow in resignation. She was not totally surprised by his reaction. The two of them were not strongly acquainted in the first place. The reason they had come together was because of her husband. Mo Jiangye was also the reason the old man had given her the bracelets. All in all, he was only good to her because of her ties to his grandson.
This was why she had worked so hard to maintain a relationship with the old man even though her husband detested him...
However, she could now see that the days she had spent with him could not be compared to the words of his good friend and that young woman.
The moment Su Qing Ning had mentioned her past, the old man had immediately turned against her.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
How superficial of him!
âYoung Madam, Young Master has asked me to take you home,â her driver informed her after a servant led him to her.
Ye Erruo took a sip of fruit juice, stood up, and announced to Su Qing Ning with a smile, âAs long as Iâm around, youâll never get a chance to see Jiangye so you can quit being a clown. Of course, if you manage to antagonize me further, my husband may just break his rule not to hit women.â
âYou!â
âIs he revolting? I dare him to hit my granddaughter while Iâm around!â Old Master Su rebutted with a sinking face.
âThatâs all I have to say. Iâm going back. Grandpa, you need not invite me to your family dinners anymore.â
After saying that, the woman turned and walked away with a smile. Honestly, she was not terribly upset. Sheâd had no high expectations about the old man right from the start, although she could not deny she was somewhat disappointed.
âFriend, look at your grandsonâs wife! In what way has Qing Ning lost out to her? That woman has no manners whatsoever! What kind of parents does she have?â
His granddaughter interjected. âGrandpa, that woman has no parents. She was abandoned.â
âMissy, the ladyâs parents were poor folks who couldnât hold a candle to you. Her parents passed away a long time ago, which is why she has such bad manners,â a servant whispered into Su Qing Ningâs ear.
âPoor folks... No wonder that woman cannot conduct herself well in public. All poor folks have short lives, I guess? Oh well, Iâm not gonna lower my status by arguing with her.â
The womanâs words were enough to stop the protagonist in her tracks. Spinning around, she shot a deadly glare at the girl. âWould you believe that an abandoned child like me could make you beg for your life?â She warned her ominously.
Su Qing Ning merely sniggered defiantly. âYour life will be short, you insolent person!â
âQing Ning!â Old Master Su called out in warning.
As Ye Erruo walked away, she made a call on her cell phone. âMo Jiangye, Su Qing Ning and her grandfather are bullying me! What did you say? Are you telling me that youâll destroy the Su conglomerate? Oh... What else? You also want to give up the Linsâ inheritance and move abroad with me? Alright, Iâll go home and start packing. You can send someone over to fetch me now.â
âYe Erruo, you stay put!â
The woman merely curled her lips into a smile and continued walking.
âXiao Ruo!â Old Master Lin was burning with fury after overhearing the conversation. He quickly ordered the servants to shut the exit. âClose the doors right now!â
The servants closed the door and the gate hastily.
âYou are shameless, Ye Erruo!â The other woman was incensed.
âDidnât you say that all poor folks have short lives?â She answered with a question.
She would make her enemy poor too. Regardless of what kind of parents she might have, this was nothing for others to criticize!
Looking absolutely grouchy, Old Master Su commanded her. âYou call that chap again!â
The woman could not help smirking. âAre you ordering me around? Do I know you in the first place? Is it your familyâs culture to bark orders at strangers?â
Old Master Lin could not hold back his displeasure anymore. âIâve never seen an ill-mannered woman like you before! It is only right that an elder reprimand a junior when sheâs in the wrong. You are just making use of Xiao Ye! You better call him back and explain the whole matter to him!â
