Chapter 736: Chapter 736: They’re Holding Hands Chapter 736: Chapter 736: They’re Holding Hands Shu Yu felt that this follower was a bit unreliable.
Meng Yunzheng, however, shook his head, “No.” He seemed to be in a better mood, raising his eyebrows with a smile, “He lost a bet to me and promised to follow me for three years.”
Shu Yu thought, as expected, unreliable.
“So, which year is it now?”
Shu Yu, “So it’s almost over, isn’t it?”
Meng Yunzheng nodded, “Yes, just two more months and the three years will be up. That’s why he’s been getting a bit ahead of himself lately.” To think he even dared to laugh at him and take joy in his troubles.
He remembered when the man first started following him, he thought him bold and responsible; willing to accept the consequences of his bets. A follower should look the part, so he didn’t even need to pour his own tea.
Too bad, such days didn’t last even half a month.
Now, looking back, Meng Yunzheng felt some regret. He should have trained him right from the start, so maybe after three years he would have a very clear understanding of his status and would even forget the three-year term.
With a ‘tsk’, Shu Yu shook her head and left.
When she reached the kitchen, Zhao Xi was complaining to the old lady, “… They held hands, Grandmother, you must get our daughter to be more cautious, not to be deceived by someone’s appearance. Yun has never really interacted with women from childhood, still a bachelor by now. Just gained some feelings for our girl and who knows if he won’t turn into a lustful spirit, losing control…”
Shu Yu stood outside and chuckled twice to herself, as expected, with the three-year term coming to an end, they start to indulge their true selves.
The old lady gave Zhao Xi a sidelong glance, “You sure are good at speaking on his behalf. If he’s a bachelor, aren’t you one too?” Also, who said our daughter?
“Of course, I am.” Zhao Xi immediately stood up straight, promising with a serious expression.
Shu Yu really couldn’t stand it anymore, “Grandmother, let me help you.” With that, she stepped into the kitchen.
Seeing her come over, Zhao Xi chuckled sneakily and turned to run away.
As he left, Shu Yu said to the old lady, “Grandmother, don’t listen to his nonsense.”
The old lady had already prepared all the other dishes; only the sliced fish for the pickled cabbage fish required some skill, which she hadn’t mastered yet, so she left that to Shu Yu.
As she watched Shu Yu slice the fish, she asked, “Has everything been explained clearly to you?”
“Yes, very clearly,” Shu Yu replied, her head down, hands moving skillfully, “But Grandmother, his family situation is rather complicated, so I can’t say much right now.”
“Isn’t it complicated?” Mother had died, relations with his biological father were poor, and there was an adoptive father too.
With just this information, the old lady could imagine an entire storyline–his mother was unwell and died early. Disliked by his biological father, he was raised by an adoptive father.
Yes, very complicated.
The old lady sighed, “If it’s hard to discuss, then let’s not talk about it. You’re more worldly and intelligent than us; you probably have a clear idea in your mind. You… just need to protect yourself.”
Remembering what Zhao Xi had said earlier, her gaze unconsciously fell on the back of Shu Yu’s hand.
Shu Yu almost facepalmed, “I will, Grandmother, I’m still young. Matters like marriage should at least wait until my coming-of-age ceremony, right?”
The old lady was reassured.
“Grandmother, Sanya, we’re back,” as they spoke, Dahu and Sanya’s voices suddenly came from outside.
Shu Yu instinctively wanted to peek out, but the old lady held her back.
