Chapter 438 Sneaky Old Madam Long (2)
But of course, that statement would not include the residence where Nan Shu Cheng was staying.
Long Qian Xing furrowed his eyebrows. For some reason, he didn't seem to like mentioning the name of Nan Hua's father. And that man's past was not exactly clean either.
Despite coming from such honorable and grand lineage, he could only be described as human's scum. If this happened in his previous world, Long Qian Xing knew that Nan Shu Cheng would end up in jail for many years. But unfortunately, the law in this world was very different.
Inside the room.
"Grandmother, let me check your pulse." Nan Hua pulled Old Madam Long's hand gently and check on her wrist. Her eyes flashed a bit when she sensed Old Madam Long's pulse.
"Is it so bad?" Old Madam Long asked with a faint laugh.
Nan Hua looked at Old Madam Long deeply. "Grandmother, please don't force yourself to go out when it's cold."
"I'm not forcing myself."
"Grandmother, you might fall sick," Nan Hua changed her phrasing.
Even though Nan Hua's expression didn't change, her eyes had already told everything Old Madam Long wanted to know. It was eyes filled with both worry and concern, one that was genuine from her heart.
This was also one of the reason why Old Madam Long liked Nan Hua from the very first she saw this little girl. Despite her cold exterior that could deter most people from getting close to her, she was someone who would treat those close to her well and with sincerity. It was something remarkable.
Internally, Old Madam Long sighed deeply.
She had hoped that her own granddaughter was like this, but her own granddaughter ended up so disappointing. Despite reprimanding and giving her so many chances, Old Madam Long failed to educate her own granddaughter.
"I know. I won't do it again." Old Madam Long patted Nan Hua's hand tenderly.
"Do you want me to prescribe some medicine?" Nan Hua asked. She was sure that Old Madam Long had her own medication, which was why she had to ask first. If the medicine clashed with each other, the effect might make Old Madam Long's condition worsen than cure her.
"There's no need." Old Madam Long chuckled. "I only wish you can enter Long Family Residence as fast as possible so that you can spend more time with me."
Nan Hua didn't answer right away. Her clear dark obsidian eyes were staring at Old Madam Long deeply. After a while, she said softly, "If Grandmother wants to, I will pay a visit to Long Family Residence from time to time."
"Will you do that?" Old Madam Long's eyes lit up.
"I promised Brother Long."
Old Madam Long beamed. For the first time, she felt that her grandson had done something really good.
Outside the door, Long Qian Xing sneezed. He looked at the door and felt that his grandmother must be thinking bad about him again. After meeting Nan Hua, his grandmother had been nagging him to grow up faster whenever he came back as if she couldn't wait to sell her own grandson.
It often made him wonder whether to cry or laugh.
Why did it seem his grandmother treasured a daughter more than a son?
However, he knew that it might be because of his older sister didn't manage to reach his grandmother's expectation. If only his older sister was a bit kinder, just a little bit, maybe his grandmother wouldn't have given up on her completely.
"Hua'er, treat Ah Xing well, okay?" Old Madam Long asked softly.
Nan Hua blinked her eyes and nodded. She felt as if she was about to be married right away with Old Madam Long's words. However, she also knew that it might because Old Madam Long wanted her to remember this words.
This might be the request that Old Madam Long would repeat from time to time in the future.
"Good." Old Madam Long smiled. She felt that she never did good for her own grandson and couldn't do it well. It was impossible for her to suddenly pamper Long Qian Xing or those witches at the house would start to target him whenever the brat was home. Besides, Long Qian Xing rarely stayed at Long Family Residence.
She didn't even have much time with her own grandson.
"Now, can you accompany my grandson for a bit? I'm sure Ah Xing had many things he wants to say to you before being interrupted by your twin brother." Old Madam Long smiled.
Nan Hua nodded obediently. She knew that Long Qian Xing hadn't finished talking when they were in Heng Xing City, but there was no time for her to talk to him back then. It was impossible for her to reveal her martial arts in front of him either, so she chose to stay silent and waited for the right time.
Pushing the door, Nan Hua noticed that only Long Qian Xing was there. Her grandfather, twin brother, and cousins had gone.
"Brother Long," Nan Hua called out.
Long Qian Xing looked at his fiancée. "Are you done checking my grandmother, Hua'er?"
"Mhm, it's done." Nan Hua looked around. "Where are my grandfather and the others?"
"Old Master Nan is supervising Nan Luo's training," Long Qian Xing replied unhurriedly. He saw Nan Luo tried to skimp his training, so Old Master Nan hurried over to spank that brat.
It seemed that the three of them didn't have the heart to train because tomorrow would be an important day.
"I see."
Long Qian Xing thought for a while before asking, "Hua'er, would you like to accompany me on a short walk?"
"Okay."
The two of them walked to the other side, further away from where Old Master Nan was busy instructing his grandsons and lectured them for listening in. At this time, he had completely forgotten that Nan Hua also accidentally listened to that shameful past of his.
Or more exactly, he purposely excluded Nan Hua.
If the other three knew that, they would be protesting heavily at their grandfather's bias.
