Chapter 63: They Were All Waiting for Her

Chen Xue Ru spoke first. She stood up at once and walked over quickly with a face full of smiles. Out of the corner of her eye, Jiang Shi Yue saw Grandma Jiang nod in satisfaction.

It seemed Chen Xue Ru’s initiative had pleased her.

“Shi Yue, you’re back. Grandfather and Grandmother have been waiting for you for ages…” Chen Xue Ru said, then put on an affectionate act and gave Jiang Shi Yue a meaningful look.

Jiang Shi Yue only swept her with a cool glance before looking away.

That disregard twisted Chen Xue Ru’s expression for an instant, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye. She hid it well and quickly said gently, “Shi Yue, I’ll go to the kitchen. There are dishes you love tonight. It’s rare for Grandfather and Grandmother to come over, so keep them company and chat with the elders.”

As soon as she said that, Jiang Mei Ling’s expression changed.

Why did that little bitch get to accompany Grandfather and Grandmother? Weren’t she and her brother members of the Jiang Family too?

Thinking of the news she had just heard, her heart felt like it was being burned by fire.

Why? Why did that bitch get Second Young Master Fu’s favor?

She couldn’t help but glare viciously at Jiang Shi Yue.

But the next second, when she met Jiang Shi Yue’s half-smiling eyes, it was like a bucket of cold water poured over the fire in her chest. Cold sweat sprang up on her back, and Jiang Mei Ling shrank into the corner of the sofa like a punctured balloon, wishing she could hide in the shadows.

She had almost forgotten the fear of being controlled by Jiang Shi Yue.

Grandma Jiang didn’t see any of this, and seemed to have forgotten the unpleasantness at the restaurant. She greeted her warmly, “Shi Yue, come to Grandma…”

Jiang Meng Qing’s expression was complicated, but he still let out a cold snort.

Old Master Jiang shot him a threatening glare, then looked at Jiang Shi Yue with a kind, loving face. “Shi Yue, Second Young Master Fu brought you back. Tell Grandfather, how are things going between you two?”

Grandma Jiang looked at Jiang Shi Yue, who was still standing in the hall. She gritted her teeth inwardly, yet still forced a smile and said considerately, “Shi Yue, let Grandma tell you: what matters most for a girl is modesty and self-respect. Don’t agree to him too easily.”

That way, if you were too easy to get, you wouldn’t be worth anything.

Jiang Shi Yue sat down. Her expression looked lazy, but her voice was sincere. “Grandma is so right. Then why did Grandfather tell Zhou Tong He that he was going to send me to his room?”

Her voice was soft, yet it felt like it carried icy needles. Old Master Jiang’s expression changed, and he said urgently, “That was to send you to his room to apologize.”

There was no other meaning.

If Fu Qing Han found out, Old Master Jiang didn’t dare imagine the consequences.

“Oh, if I’m supposed to apologize.” Jiang Shi Yue nodded thoughtfully, her almond eyes holding a lazy smile. “Then I think Little Fu was wrong too. After all, he came without an invitation and disturbed Young Master Zhou’s good time. Right, I’ll tell him. I can’t be the only one taking the blame.”

As she spoke, she quickly took out her phone.

Old Master Jiang was badly frightened. He even stood up. “Shi Yue, don’t call, don’t call. Grandfather was…”

“Was what?” Jiang Shi Yue asked seriously, phone in hand.

Her eyes looked misty, like ripples at first glance, but when you looked closer, it sent a chill through you.

Old Master Jiang’s face turned iron-blue. His heart trembled, but he still had to explain. “Grandfather was talking nonsense. No matter what, the Jiang Family has status. What is the Zhou Family anyway? How would he dare to set his sights on my granddaughter…”

“Tch…” The scoff came from Jiang Zi Chen.
