Chapter 45 - 45 Grandma Is Back
45 Grandma Is Back
Jiang Yanshen paused when he heard the sound. His well-defined fingers tapped on the keyboard a few times before he closed the computer and got out of the car.
When he saw Lin Qingqian, he was clearly stunned. Then, he said in an indescribable tone, “You usually go downstairs dressed like this?”
Lin Qingqian looked down at the long white T-shirt she was wearing. There was a pink Peppa printed on her chest that reached her thighs. She was wearing black sandals and looked very casual and at home.
“I’m just here to throw out the trash. Do I have to change into an evening gown first?”
In the past, she had always paid attention to her image in front of him. She would definitely not be sloppy, and her taste in clothes was all according to his preferences.
Now… Hehe, as long as I’m happy.
Jiang Yanshen was speechless for a moment. He suppressed the urge to carry her upstairs and take off her childish clothes. He said in a low voice, “Go up and change your clothes. Come back with me.”
“I’m not going back!” Lin Qingqian rejected without thinking.
Jiang Yanshen stared at her with his dark eyes. “Grandma is back.”
Lin Qingqian paused in her actions of throwing the trash aside. She did not hesitate for long and said indifferently, “Alright.”
If there was anything else in the Jiang family that was worth her attention, it would be Grandma Jiang.
Back then, it was Grandma Jiang who personally brought her to Lan City and brought her into the Jiang family. She took care of her meticulously.
No matter how mean Madam Jiang was or how much of a bastard Jiang Yanshen was, she would not erase Grandma Jiang’s kindness in her heart.
… .
Because the old lady had returned, the atmosphere in the Jiang family had become especially lively. The servants were also much more diligent than usual and worked much harder.
Lin Qingqian followed Jiang Yanshen upstairs and walked to the door of Old Madam Jiang’s room.
The door was not closed, and Madam Jiang’s voice came from inside. “Mom, I asked the kitchen to prepare your favorite glutinous rice with duck. You must eat more tonight.”
“Alright, thank you.” The calm and weathered voice belonged to Old Madam Jiang.
Jiang Yanshen walked into the room, his calm voice filled with respect. “Grandma, Qianqian is here.”
The old lady, who was originally looking down listlessly, immediately perked up. “Qianqian is here? Come, come to Grandma.”
Lin Qingqian walked forward with an obedient smile. “Grandma…”
Old Madam Jiang held her hand. “Why are you standing so far away? Come closer and let Grandma take a good look.”
With this pull, she pulled Lin Qingqian in front of her and pushed away Madam Jiang, who was originally sitting at the side.
Madam Jiang could not flare up even if she was unhappy, so she could only endure it and stand aside.
Old Madam Jiang sized up Lin Qingqian carefully, her deep eyes filled with love. “You seem to have lost weight.”
Lin Qingqian pursed her lips and smiled. “No, it’s just that Grandma hasn’t seen me for too long and dotes on me too much, so it looks like I’ve lost weight.”
Old Madam Jiang, who had never smiled in front of Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu, revealed a benevolent smile. “You’re Grandma’s good granddaughter-in-law. If Grandma doesn’t dote on you, who will?”
Her wrinkled hand held Lin Qingqian’s tightly, and the concern and love in her expression and words came from the bottom of her heart. Madam Jiang and Li Ruzhu, who were standing at the side, were even more unhappy.
“Alright, Qianqian will accompany me here. Go and do your work.” Old Madam Jiang chased them away.
“Mother…”
Madam Jiang was worried that Lin Qingqian would speak nonsense in front of the old lady and did not want them to be alone. However, just as she opened her mouth, the old lady slowly looked up and glanced at her.
“Is there anything else?”
Madam Jiang met her gaze and her heart trembled. The smile on her face was a little unnatural. “No, no. Then Ruzhu and I will go out first.”
Old Madam Jiang nodded and glanced at Jiang Yanshen. “You go out too.”
Jiang Yanshen glanced at Lin Qingqian before leaving.
After they left, Old Madam Jiang’s easy-going expression immediately disappeared. She asked seriously, “Did you quarrel with Yanshen?”
