Ye Erruo caught their conversation. Is this girl still thinking about my husband? This grandfather-granddaughter pair can be so shameless…
“Jiangye doesn’t like black chicken soup. He specifically prefers prawns now.”
“Really? Brother Jiangye likes to eat prawns now?”
“That’s right. However, you needn’t concern yourself with this. He only eats the food that I cook for him and no one else’s, so you needn’t waste your time or effort.” The woman warned her as she solemnly continued eating her dinner.
“Qing Ning, your sister-in-law has a point. He’s married now, so you shouldn’t be cooking for him.” Old Master Su told his granddaughter off sternly.
“But, grandpa…”
Her grandfather threw her a warning glance that shut her up finally.
The woman smiled to herself when the two of them finally stayed quiet.
Meanwhile, Old Master Lin continued eating his dinner quietly, seemingly uninterested in the tiff happening at the dinner table.
“Grandpa Lin, I’m not sure if I should voice a concern here…”
“What is it, Qing Ning? You can speak freely.”
The girl replied as she threw a meaningful glance at Ye Erruo, “It’s not gonna be good.”
“You can speak your mind. What isn’t good?”
“Erm… I’m not here to stir up trouble between Brother Jiangye and his wife…”
The protagonist was caught unprepared, and the chopsticks in her hand froze in mid-air. What kind of sh*t is this missy up to now?
“Grandpa Lin, I’m not sure if you’re aware that Brother Jingxuan has been eyeing the inheritance all this time.”
The old man replied with a frown, “Jingxuan? He doesn’t have the capability to manage the Lins’ affairs. Besides, he’s terribly sick now so he won’t be able to take over the family business.”
“Grandpa has already handed over the family business to Jiangye.” Ye Erruo intercepted.
“Oh, is that so? Then I suggest that you watch out for Brother Jiangye, Grandpa Lin. I heard from my friends that Brother Jingxuan is obsessed with the family’s power. Plus, he was on such good terms with sister-in-law before. I’m not sure if Brother Jiangye is aware…” As the girl rattled on, she glanced momentarily at Ye Erruo before trailing off.
Old Master Lin frowned and his face sank when he heard her words.
“Oh yes, that’s true. Pal, you better warn your son. I’m afraid he might get hurt if something unfortunate were to happen in the future.”
Old Master Lin’s face looked terrible by now. He didn’t care about anyone except for his favorite grandson…
The old man turned to his daughter-in-law with doubts in his eyes while Su Qing Ning’s face broke into a satisfied smile as she tucked heartily into her food at last.
“Tell me, Xiao Ruo, why did you break up with Jingxuan? You used to be very close to him, right?”
He had never once doubted this lady, as she had been chosen by his favorite grandson. Alarm bells started to go off in his head now. This was true indeed. He had been lenient with this woman because of Mo Jiangye, but had he been blindsided all along?
The woman raised her brow. Has the old man lost his trust in me?
Old Master Su took advantage of this opportunity to add fuel to the fire. “Pal, you gotta keep your eyes wide open, or you may just lose your fortune and grandson!”
“I hope you don’t mind me voicing my concern, sister-in-law. I have a friend who’s rather close to Brother Jingxuan so I know a little about the inside story.”
“There was no particular reason for our break-up. I believe I already explained myself earlier.”
The old man issued a stern warning then. “Xiao Ye is the lifeline of our family. I’ll go after anyone who harms him in the slightest!”
“I was told that sister-in-law refused Brother Jiangye multiple times when she was with Brother Jingxuan. However, she suddenly had a change of heart after Brother Jiangye caught her eloping with Brother Jingxuan. Sister-in-law only got together with Brother Jiangye after that. Am I right?”
“Eloping? Is that true, Xiao Ruo?” Old Master Lin interrogated her.
