Chapter 36 - 036 Half-revealed
In the evening, the Old Man asked Tian Manjin to bring Tian Sisi into his room, and Granny Zhao followed behind. Tian Manjin thought the Old Man wanted to play with his daughter, as he often did before. He placed Tian Sisi on the Old Man’s bed and then went back to his own room to sleep.
When Tian Sisi saw the Old Man’s serious expression, she felt a panic inside, not knowing what had happened. Could it be that Mr. Tian had found out she wasn’t his real granddaughter? Tian Sisi dared not meet the Old Man’s eyes and lowered her head to look at the pattern on the quilt. In the eyes of the Old Man, this was a sign that his granddaughter was definitely hiding something from him.
"Ah Nan, are you hiding something from Grandpa and Granny?"
Here it comes, the Old Man really discovered she wasn’t the real deal, but she was reluctant to leave the Tian Family who adored her! Although she had only lived here for a few days, and the living standard wasn’t as good as in her previous life, it was so warm and comforting here. Tian Sisi had a mournful face and quietly said, "Grandpa, Granny, I didn’t mean to hide it from you, I just didn’t know how to tell you."
The young girl was still tender, and the Old Man was extremely pleased with himself as he tricked her out, not realizing that what his granddaughter said was not at all what he was asking about!
"How could it be hard to say? Do you know how dangerous it is to casually take things out? If it weren’t for me, your grandpa, cleaning up after you, Xinhua and others would have suspected something long ago." The Old Man scolded with a stern face.
Huh? It seemed she had misunderstood; what the Old Man mentioned must be about her incident on the mountain in the morning. Tian Sisi breathed a sigh of relief, glad that he hadn’t discovered she wasn’t the original host. As for the Space issue, she had made up her mind; it seems impossible not to talk about it at all. The people of the Tian Family were too sharp, and it would definitely raise suspicions over time. She might as well tell some real and fake bits.
With her mind made up, Tian Sisi felt much more at ease and flatteringly said, "Grandpa, you are really amazing, you noticed it right away!"
