Chapter 120 You're about to have a great-grandchild again.
"Bastard!"
As Jiang Ning was standing at the gate of his old house, a teacup was thrown at him.
Jiang Ning was startled and barely dodged to the side. She turned her head to look at the shattered teacup on the ground, breathed a sigh of relief, patted her small chest with one hand, and then looked closely.
Isn't this teacup one of the most beloved sets of Zisha teacups made by a famous master craftsman?
My maternal grandfather usually cherishes her very much.
He'd be heartbroken even at the slightest bump or scratch; who dared to smash his teacup today?
Tsk tsk, someone's going to be in trouble.
Jiang Ning turned her head with a gloating look, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw her grandfather, who was panting and leaning against the sofa with an angry expression.
Jiang Ning then noticed the heavy and solemn atmosphere in the old house.
Cheng Chuyu, who usually looked down on people, sat obediently in front of her grandfather. Even when he entered the room, Cheng Chuyu did not make sarcastic remarks.
The old man had always been good to Jiang Ning since she was a child, and Jiang Ning was also close to the old man. So much so that Cheng Chuyu, her own granddaughter, always looked at her with disdain, as if she were a poor relative coming to freeload.
Although the Jiang family was indeed far inferior to the Cheng family, they were still a prominent family in Haishi. Only Cheng Chuyu treated them like poor relatives and worried that they would take advantage of them.
Cheng Chuyu's unusual behavior made Jiang Ning regret coming today and getting into trouble.
The old man must have gotten angry!
She hesitated for a moment, then secretly extended her left foot, which was stepping into the old house, further inside.
The moment she moved, the old man, who had been clutching his chest with one hand and looked like he was about to faint from anger, suddenly sat up. "Jiang Ning, why are you running?"
The old man glared and puffed out his beard.
Seeing that she couldn't avoid it, Jiang Ning walked over with a forced smile. She sat obediently on the other side of the old man, blinked her eyes, and acted sweetly and coquettishly.
"Grandpa, I didn't run away. Where did I run? Even if I did run, I would definitely run towards you."
"You're so good at saying nice things." Although the old man said that, his expression did indeed improve considerably.
Cheng Chuyu, standing to the side, curled his lip in disdain.
At her age, she's still trying to act cute in front of her grandfather. How shameless!
Jiang Ning ignored Cheng Chuyu's murderous glare.
She glanced around and was surprised to find that only the old man was without a teacup; the purple clay teacup that had just been thrown away was the one he had already tossed aside.
Goodness, the old man cherished that tea set so much, yet he actually smashed it today. That's enough to prove how angry he was.
She was curious about who had offended the old man, but she didn't dare to ask.
Jiang Ning rolled her eyes, thinking about the purpose of her visit today.
"Grandpa, cousin..."
She had only uttered four words when the old man's face suddenly darkened.
Cheng Chuyu also looked at her with schadenfreude.
Now she knew who had offended the old man.
Jiang Ning's lips twitched slightly; her ability to step on landmines was truly top-notch.
"Why bring him up? What? He knows he did something wrong today, so he asked you to come and plead his case. Let me tell you, it's no use whoever he invites!"
The old man snorted heavily.
Cheng Chuyu added fuel to the fire, "Jiang Ning does have a good relationship with my older brother. If the two of them stood together, people who didn't know them would probably think they were siblings."
That sounds a bit sarcastic.
"Grandpa, my cousin didn't say anything to me. Why are you so angry? Did he do something wrong? Wait here, I'll go and teach him a lesson right now."
Jiang Ning rolled up her sleeves and started to walk outside, but was stopped by the old man after taking only two steps.
“Come back here. Don’t think I can’t see through your act.”
Jiang Ning chuckled and fawned over the old man, walking behind him and massaging his back while tentatively asking, "Grandpa, what did my cousin do to you again? My dad often tells me that if he had a son like my cousin, he could live a life of ease."
"Lie down? I'm about to die of anger." The old man laughed in exasperation. "Today, I sent your cousin on a blind date, and he just said he wasn't interested in her and sent her away. Other people his age would already have a second child who's old enough to run errands, but he just loafs around all day."
Jiang Ning paused in her movements.
As someone around the same age as Cheng Shuyan, she felt hurt.
"Oh, and you too, you're so old and you're just wandering around outside." The old man glared at her, annoyed.
"I haven't graduated yet," Jiang Ning muttered to herself.
Seeing the two of them go off-topic, Cheng Chuyu couldn't help but interject, "The Bai family is really something. Grandpa, you even called them personally to apologize, but they're still spreading rumors that my brother likes men. Now everyone in the circle is saying that my brother's sexual orientation is abnormal."
The old man's anger, which he had just suppressed, surged back up again.
"That bastard! I'm so old and I still have to clean up his mess! Jiang Ning, call him right now and tell him to get back here and get married within three days, or he'll never see me again! And Old Man Bai, I won't let this go either."
The old man gritted his teeth and squeezed out his last words.
Haha, after the incident, they pushed the blame onto their granddaughter, saying she's just a child who doesn't understand. They think they can just let this matter go? Dream on!
Without Old Man Bai backing him up, would his granddaughter have the audacity to spread rumors?
He heard that the Bai family was recently trying to acquire a new energy technology, and he wanted to find out more about it, lest he ruin the Bai family's business.
The old man was lost in thought, unaware of Jiang Ning's hesitant expression beside him.
“Grandpa, if you’re in such a hurry for my cousin to get married, people in our circle will definitely say that our family is guilty. Wouldn’t that just make more people believe it? Besides, my cousin might not listen to you.”
Honest advice is hard to swallow, and the old man couldn't refute it, almost spitting blood in anger.
"So what? Are we just going to let the Bai family spread rumors like this? Do we still care about Shuyan's reputation?"
"Who knows if my brother is really like what the Bai family said, that he doesn't like women?" Cheng Chuyu muttered quietly to himself.
The old man's face turned ashen, and he was trembling with anger.
"Grandpa, no way, my cousin definitely likes women, and I have some good news for you." Jiang Ning ignored the idiot and said mysteriously to the old man.
"What good news?"
For him now, there is no good news other than Cheng Shuyan getting married on the spot.
“Grandpa, I went to my cousin’s house today, and guess what I saw? I saw a woman taking a bath at my cousin’s house, and my cousin was protecting her. Just you wait, I think you’ll probably have another great-grandson soon, and all those people and rumors outside will fall apart on their own.”
Jiang Ning began spreading rumors without any qualms.
Because for her, that's the truth.
