Chapter 544: Forced bonding.
She scratched the side of her neck slowly and smiled uncertainly. What was this, had they called her over to set a trap for her after laying on some thick praise? She knew that Zhang Xian was already at the game, why didn’t they ask him to wait for his son and take him if they wanted the family to bond?
Why drag her into the middle of the chaos? Did they want Zhang An to kill her instead of Wang Yong?
"They want Zhang Xian and all of his children to be on good terms while sacrificing you as a pawn. If it works out, well and good and if it doesn’t they don’t lose anything anyway. Either they are really good schemers or they happen to have good vision." Came the sudden invited response from her system to her many thoughts and questions.
Grandma Zhang stood up and encouraged the two to stand as well. "Yong, Yi Sao, you should get up now and follow your older sister-in-law. Take care of each other and have fun at the game."
Alix was quite hesitant so she wanted to make up an excuse.
"Grandma, i ...."
The old woman was clever and she saw the hesitation in Alix’s body language. She did not intend to let her turn her down for any reason.
"Alix, dear, you are already running late so it’s best to get a move on while there is still time. We would come with you to the game but there are so many preparations to make ahead of the holiday. Moreover, all that noise and excitement will be a little too much for us."
She pulled Alix up with more strength than she appeared to have in her old body.
