She was at her sixes and sevens as she sat next to the old man .
He looked at her and asked, “I heard from Yinan that your parents are in Country M?”
Zhou Shuang nodded . “Mm . ”
She was feeling nervous that she kept her head bowed as she fiddled with her fingers .
“I’ve found out that your mother will come back for a meeting next week . ” Old Master got right to the point and didn’t beat around the bush . “Please also inform your father to come back together so we can meet up with Yinan’s parents . ”
It dumbfounded Xuxu .
It seemed that the old master came well prepared . It was beyond her imagination .
He actually knew Zhou Shuang’s mother’s schedule .
A parents’ meeting? Her mother was coming to the country for a meeting? Why wasn’t she aware?
Zhou Shuang didn’t know how to react . Her eyes widened as she stuttered, “No—It’s not . I—”
As she was trying to piece the words to string a proper sentence, the old master smiled and interrupted her . “I know, you don’t really like Yinan . ”
Zhou Shuang looked down and whispered under her breath, “It’s more than just dislike . I hate him to the core . ”
“Ahem, ahem . ” Xuxu cleared her throat as a reminder to her .
In front of someone’s grandfather, she should at least have some restraints .
“It’s all right . ” Old Master Lu continued speaking to Zhou Shuang with a benign face . “His mother had indeed spoiled that chap . But I think when he has children and becomes a dad, he will definitely be more sensible . So can you give him a little more time?”
Old Master Lu’s good nature caused the straightforward Zhou Shuang to feel torn . She knitted her eyebrows and was at a loss . “But this—this—it’s not possible between us . ”
After that, she lowered her head and pouted, behaving like a child in front of the old master .
“Little lass, Yinan has many shortcomings . ” The old master maintained his good nature . “However, he also has many good qualities . But as you only have his shortcomings in mind at the moment, naturally, you won’t be able to see his good points . You should slowly observe him . ”
“You’ve definitely not known Yinan enough . Why don’t you move to our place to stay for a period of time to get to know him better?”
It dumbfounded Xuxu .
Nowadays, old folks are omnipotent . They will first serve you a bowl of Chicken Soup for the Soul and then abduct you .
She felt like laughing when she saw that helpless look on Zhou Shuang’s face .
She was usually carefree and casual, and she shoots her mouth off . But coming face-to-face with this old master, she seemed terrified .
Zhou Shuang looked to Xuxu for help .
Xuxu pressed her lips together and pretended not to see . She stood up and informed the old master, “Grandfather Lu, I’m making a move first . My parents are still waiting for me at the hospital . ”
The old master nodded . “Then you better go . I’ll get my driver to send you there . ”
Xuxu waved her hand and declined, “No, no, no . I can take a taxi . It’s very convenient . ”
After that, she grabbed her bag and turned around to leave without taking a second look at Zhou Shuang .
She didn’t want to get herself involved in dealing with the emperor’s father . She believed that since the old master had already stepped forth personally, he wouldn’t let Zhou Shuang be shortchanged .
Lu Yinan wouldn’t be able to bully Zhou Shuang .
Zhou Shuang looked at Xuxu anxiously from behind . “Xuxu . ”
Xuxu didn’t turn back and merely waved at her with her back facing her . “I’m leaving first . My parents will visit Bai Jing’s father, so I got to go now . ”
She walked to the door, changed back into her shoes and stepped out .
Once she stepped out, she stood at the same spot and laughed before leaving .
Xuxu had already informed Mu Li to wait for her at the hospital entrance . She caught sight of Mu Li and Yan Weihong the moment she got off the taxi .
