Chapter 198 - Grandma
Chapter 198 – Grandma
” So why exactly are you here ?” Yu Dong cleared her throat attracting Elder Wu and Wu Junfen’s attention who was smiling at her mother with a strange smile, it was surprising that a woman could practically make her skin crawl with a vibe that screamed ‘danger’ with just a smile on her face. Yu Dong didn’t want to admit that Wu Junfen unnerved her, not like she was a threat but she gave off a vibe that was a bit too similar to her grandmother.
Her grandmother was the same, she hardly ever got mad and not once did she lose her temper around her and her siblings but that woman was a terrifying force to reckon with, Yu Dong still remembered how her grandmother would force her to eat capsicum that she hated as a child with just a smile. Ever since Yu Dong was trained to never offend a smiling person -and Wu Junfen happened to remind her of her grandmother, a lot.
Wu Junfen didn’t seem to realize that she was giving her one of her stranger danger expressions and clapped her hand with a chuckle ” You see, I have heard from my aunt that you have a flair for business … and I do admit that you are really intelligent in the filed despite that rough attitude of yours “
Yu Dong’s lips twitched at the backhanded comment of Wu Junfen but she couldn’t bring herself to retort Wu Junfen… those smiling eyes were like a pair of sharp claws of a tiger, whether consciously or unconsciously, Wu Junfen was pressuring her or maybe it was her past memories of her grandmother that was making it hard to disobey Wu Junfen ” I really don’t know what you are trying to say here” Though Yu Dong was getting spooked by that ‘ hard to defy ‘ gaze of Wu Junfen , she still didn’t show her discomfort.
She tried to repel Wu Junfen’s aura with her own but much to her chagrin, Wu Junfen was completely undeterred as she laughed lightly ” Of course you don’t, I don’t mean anything by this but I do own a few shops in the town that have good business. If you ever feel like you are entangled in trouble you can always come to for advice, just think of me as your elder”
Then Wu Junfen did something weird, she gave her a rather familiar expression that knocked her off her feet. That … that was too much like her grandmother.. every time she gave her that look, it would always mean that she was disappointed about something but was willing to spoil her because she was her granddaughter- What the F*ck?
” That-“
” That’s right !” Exclaimed Elder Wu totally piped up without the slightest bit of idea that she just interrupted something, she gave Yu Dong an excited glance as she puffed ” my daughter is the best ya know, and when I say the best I mean the best. It’s just that she is too humble or else we would be the next landlord of the village !”
Wu Junfen shook her head as she turned to look at her mother with a sort of chastising expression ” You create enough trouble as it is for me mother, I don’t possibly see how you will be able to keep yourself in check if I were to take that position… you might possibly try to raise the sky on your head the second I take my eyes of you”
” That’s not likely the gaze, I will never do that,” said Elder Wu but under Wu Junfen’s glowering smile, she started to squirm and mumbled ” Only a little… I would have only created a small trouble”
” Your small troubles bring me enough headaches as it is, Mother” though Wu Junfen’s voice was gentle, it had pure steel in it, she twirled on her position and looked at Yu Dong with the same steely smile that she had given to her mother ” Anyway, what I meant is that if you ever face trouble you can come to me, think of me as your big sister”
Then she took her mother and left, leaving Yu Dong behind. Yu Dong stayed where she was and then she tried to process what just happened, it wasn’t that Yu Dong was trying to overthink the whole situation but Wu Junfen was really quite similar to her grandmother, which Yu Dong hoped wasn’t the case because if it was the truth then – firstly, her grandmother would kick her ass for spreading her love around like this, secondly, she would beat her up until her pretty face was even worse than a meaty pulp for dying so early and lastly, it would be weird as hell if such a young woman’s body had the soul of her grandmother!!
But maybe it was just a coincidence and she was thinking too much but what if it wasn’t? Yu Dong felt a chill crawl up her spine – she just threatened her grandmother’s mother that means she threatened her great grandmother right?
Yu Dong shook her head, no, no – there was no way. There was no way such a thing could happen right? Like what were the chances?
With that, she piped herself but just as she raised her head, her gaze met with Wu Jufen who was not walking far away from her. She was looking at her with a subtle smile on her face as she mouthed .. ‘ control yourself’ .. huh? What did she mean by this? As if sensing her confusion, Wu Junfen pointed at Fang Chi and winked.
And Yu Dong gritted her teeth so hard that it was audible, which made Wu Junfen’s smile widen. That was her grandmother alright, no one other than her grandmother liked to mess with her like this! But what was she doing here !!
Yu Dong wanted to ask a lot of questions but she decided to leave it for later. Wu Junfen wasn’t running away but she needed to settle these mers in a suitable house before the night! After that she would go and have a little chat with her grandmother, to think that she stayed mute like an onlooker until now! So what if she was disappointed in her? Yu Dong was disappointed in her grandmother too!
That’s right instead of waiting to be blamed she should charge first instead!
