Chapter 33: Let’s become sworn sisters

I felt like Grandmother Meng was no longer on my side.

As expected, in order to make use of the ten thousand, the two of them watched TV together and didn’t bother casting a glance at me.

In order to show my fury, I purposely stood in front of the TV before I went to the kitchen. I swayed the plastic bags as I glared at him, “Yes yes yes. You are correct. Because you’re the boss…”

“You!” Suyang was irritated by my expression, and he threw a popcorn from the table at me. I caught it with my mouth as I ate it.

“I hope you die from an excess of anger!” I shook my head as I stuck out my tongue and made a face at him. Then, I hopped to the kitchen.

Damn that Suyang! I cursed him as I washed the vegetable leaves. If Suyang was the radish on the chopping board, I would definitely cut him up very smoothly.

From outside the kitchen, Suyang and Grandmother Meng’s laughter sounded especially ear piercing. I felt like a bullied young married woman; working alone in the kitchen.

Sweet and sour spare ribs, ground meat with eggplant, kung pao chicken, stir-fried bean curd in chili sauce, and a thick bowl of corn soup.

A relatively sumptuous meal was prepared. While I was carrying the dishes out, the two descendants were already at the table ready to eat. They didn’t make any attempt to help me set up.

The only thing worse than serving a Suyang was serving two Suyangs!

Serving them felt very strange. I was carrying all the bowls and utensils. Not only was I behaving like a young married woman, it was as if I had a lazy husband and was the daughter in law of an evil granny. Deep down, I lamented. Whoever that ends up marrying Suyang will be one unlucky woman!

“Granny, how did you find out about Lin Yixin?” Suyang started a conversation.

“Fine, as long as you’ll be relieved.” I gave up resisting. I’ll just do whatever that makes her happy. Deep down, I sighed to myself, even if I like your grandson, it’s not like he will like me…

At the end, I randomly ended up becoming the generation of Suyang’s granny. I went from a 25 years old female without ever having a boyfriend to having a 27 years old grandson! What type of sorcery was this? I could tell by Suyang’s trembling shoulders that was trying his best to suppress his laughter.

Afterwards, Grandmother Meng acted as if nothing had happened. She continued eating dinner, but called me “old sis”. I felt like the title matched my outfit.

Nightfall, Suyang and I were leaving. Grandmother Meng walked us to the door.

I blankly sat in the car as I looked out the window without any attachment to this world. I stared at the stars high above the sky and recalled the words that Grandmother Meng had said to me after we had become sworn sisters.

“Old sis, my grandson and I have been mutually dependent on each other for years. Now, Xiao Su has grown up. My biggest concern for him is finding a girlfriend!”

“Aside from being handsome, good in school, filial, kindhearted, he doesn’t have any more good qualities. But strangely, he is often surrounded by extreme and ridiculous women. So, sometimes I worry for him. I’m worried he will encounter a bad woman and be tricked.”

“Old sis, when you and my grandson are returning home, please be careful. It is late. Also, he is the younger generation, so please help me watch over him….”

When Grandmother Meng kept referring me as “old sis”, it made me felt very awkward. That title wouldn’t stop spinning around my head. It just wouldn’t go away.

I opened the car window a tiny crack, and we happened to pass by a forest trail. The air was very fresh. It was perfect for clearing my mind.

“Today, you must give me an overtime fee for mental compensation.”

Suyang lightly chuckled, “Alright.”

“Also, you’re not allowed to call me granny. I know you’re going to use it to laugh at me…” I crossed my arms as I stared at the rows of traffic lights; it had a hypnosis effect. I was seeking for spiritual serenity.

“If you didn’t want to, why didn’t you reject her?” Suyang asked.

How could I tell him I had to do as she says because I still required Grandmother Meng’s help? Why were these Su descendants so good at grabbing hold of my weaknesses, leaving me with no choice other than to listen to them?

I felt like I was forced into the Su family. In ancient terms, it was similar to being sold into the family as a slave.

“What’s the point of rejecting? Plus, it’s not that big of a deal…” I breezily replied, “In the future, you should go visit her more whenever you have time.”

“I will.” Suyang replied. He gradually began to accelerate.

The wind coming in through the window became too fierce, making it impossible for me to get into a state of serenity. Furthermore, the wind was turning my hair into a mess.

“Driver slower, Xiao Su.” I ordered.

“What did you call me?” Suyang exclaimed as he slowed down.

I leaned my head against his arm as I gazed up at him. For some strange reason, he looked exceptionally handsome tonight. Was it because of the lighting from the streetlights?

I admired Suyang’s face as I evilly laughed, “You don’t want me to call you Xiao Su?”

“Landlord and tenant, boss and assistant, teacher and student, granny and grandson…we sure have a lot of relationships between us!” Suyang sighed.
