Chapter 136 Is she my girlfriend?
Chapter 136 Is she my girlfriend?
Amy pouted, tears welling up in her eyes, as if they were about to fall at any moment.
Jiang Ning, who had just turned around to go upstairs, almost tripped over her own feet and fell when she heard Amy's childish words.
She spread her arms, staggered forward a couple of steps, and after finally regaining her balance, turned around and looked at Cheng Shuyan with a gossipy expression. "Cousin, who was it? Who did you go on a date with today?"
Of course, she didn't think that the mother Amy was talking about was her cousin who longed for freedom. After all, her cousin was still in France, and even if she could fly, she couldn't have gotten there so quickly.
"Could it be..." Jiang Ning thought of something and winked at Cheng Shuyan ambiguously, "Cousin, you still said that the beautiful girl that day wasn't your girlfriend. You even made Amy call her 'Mom.' Cousin, you and I are still keeping it a secret."
She covered her lips and smiled, as if she had already seen through him.
Cheng Shuyan had a headache, because Jiang Ning, that big mouth, still found out.
“Don’t talk nonsense. Amy calls any pretty lady ‘Mom,’ just like she calls me ‘Dad.’ I’ve already corrected her, but it’s no use.”
"Nonsense, then why has Amy never called me 'Mom'?" Jiang Ning put her hands on her hips and looked at Cheng Shuyan with her chin raised.
Cheng Shuyan, “…”
This was the first time he had ever met someone who insisted on humiliating themselves.
Cheng Shuyan raised an eyebrow; although he didn't speak, his meaning was clear.
Jiang Ning quickly realized what was happening.
She glared angrily at Cheng Shuyan.
"Cousin, are you trying to say I'm not good-looking?"
"I didn't say that, you said it yourself." Cheng Shuyan coughed lightly, naturally refusing to admit it.
Jiang Ning was furious. She snorted and crossed her arms. "I'll tell Grandpa in a bit that you started this relationship and then abandoned your wife and children."
What a mess this is.
Cheng Shuyan's temple throbbed with anger. "Don't talk nonsense."
"Who's talking nonsense?" She had only embellished it a little.
If my cousin didn't start something and then abandon it, why doesn't he dare to acknowledge that young lady's identity? Could it be that, as Cheng Xirao said, my cousin looks down on that young lady's background and is just playing around with her?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that her cousin was a scumbag.
The way she looked at him also changed.
Cheng Shuyan felt a chill run down his spine from Jiang Ning's gaze. What was Jiang Ning thinking about now?
"What are you talking about? Making such a racket, what kind of behavior is this?"
At that moment, a majestic voice came from above.
Grandpa Cheng, leaning on his dragon-headed cane, stood on the second floor, looking down at them.
He had a stern face and never smiled.
But when he saw Amy, he instantly lost his composure.
"Amy, come quickly to your great-grandfather's place." Grandpa Cheng came down the stairs and stood at the top of the stairs.
He bent down slightly, spread his arms, and his originally serious face smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.
Amy stopped clinging to Cheng Shuyan.
Like a little butterfly, she flew into the old man's arms, rubbed her face against his chest, and whined in a sweet, childish voice.
"Great-Grandpa, Amy misses you so much."
"Your great-grandfather misses you too."
Amy and the old man truly embody the phrase "grandparent-grandparent bond."
Cheng Shuyan breathed a sigh of relief without making it obvious. Seeing that Amy had finally managed to divert his attention, he wanted to leave quickly. "Grandpa, I have things to do at the company, I'll be going now."
"Wait a minute!" The old man looked up and saw Cheng Shuyan trying to run away. His face darkened, but he was afraid of scaring Amy, so he suppressed his displeasure and softened his tone.
Cheng Shuyan paused, turned around, and looked helplessly at the old man.
The old man called him, simply to urge him to get married.
"Put company matters aside for now. I called your secretary today to confirm that you don't have any urgent work to do. Tell me first, how did you feel about spending the day with Amy?"
When the old man was young, he liked to interrogate people, and now that he's older, he still hasn't changed that habit.
Especially in front of Cheng Shuyan.
As the saying goes, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility.
The old man was always worried that Cheng Shuyan, being in a high position, would be blinded by the scenery before him and do something wrong, so he was particularly strict with him.
The only feeling Cheng Shuyan had was physical and mental exhaustion.
Thinking of this, Yunzhi's bright and beautiful face suddenly appeared in his mind.
Aside from being physically and mentally exhausted, everything else was pretty good.
At least Yunzhi likes Amy quite a bit.
Cheng Shuyan's thoughts were wandering, but he still maintained his aloof demeanor when standing in front of the old man, and the old man did not notice that he was absent-minded.
The old man didn't mind not hearing Cheng Shuyan's reply.
He snorted heavily, "Everyone says that you should settle down and start a career. Now that your company is steadily growing, when are you planning to settle down? I've come to terms with it. As long as you can bring me a wife, I don't care if she's a man or a woman."
The old man waved his hand, forced to be enlightened.
As for what Jiang Ning said last time that he was about to have a great-grandson, he was indeed so excited that he couldn't sleep for several days. Later, after subtly inquiring about it with Cheng Shuyan, he learned that Jiang Ning had misunderstood.
During that period, the old man looked at Cheng Shuyan with disdain, finding his nose and eyes unsightly.
Hearing this, Jiang Ning opened her mouth wide and couldn't help but give her grandfather a thumbs up in her heart. As expected, her grandfather was truly enlightened.
Cheng Shuyan's expression alternated between pale and flushed.
"Grandpa, you're overthinking it. My sexual orientation is perfectly normal; I just haven't met the right person yet."
"Haven't met the right one? Tell me who is! You'd find the right one if you just stayed in the office all day with your bunch of monks!"
The old man was so angry he was puffing out his beard and glaring.
Amy touched the old man's eyes with her little hand, "Great-Grandpa, don't be angry, Amy doesn't want to make Great-Grandpa angry."
Amy's soft voice, like a cool shady tree under the blazing sun, soothed the old man's rapidly rising anger.
“Little Amy is so obedient. If your uncle were even a tenth as obedient as you, your great-grandfather could have lived several more years.”
"My great-grandfather will definitely live to be a hundred years old."
“My dear Amy, my great-grandfather.”
The two figures, one large and one small, seemed out of place with Cheng Shuyan.
Cheng Shuyan realized that the old man was referring to him.
However, marriage is a serious matter, not a game. He can't just marry anyone, can he? Even if he did, he wouldn't know who to marry.
The thought had barely crossed his mind when Yunzhi's face reappeared before him.
Cheng Shuyan shook his head. What was he thinking about?
"Grandpa, what I said last time was true. My cousin has a girlfriend. Today, his girlfriend even helped him take care of his child. If you don't believe me, you can ask Amy. Amy just called her 'Mom'."
