Chapter 280: Old lady’s act
Old Master Xi stopped Old Lady Xi, "What are you doing? Do you think anyone would believe that flimsy excuse of yours? Would you be called away by Old Lady Yan today when you were just announcing to the world that your granddaughter-in-law is coming yesterday? Do you think that our grandson is stupid? What if our granddaughter-in-law thinks that you don’t like her and are avoiding her because you’ve just got up and gone like that?"
"Then you... you tell me what to do?" Old Lady Xi stomped her foot in a show of anxiety, "Don’t tell me that I shouldn’t have done that when I’ve done it anyway!"
She still reminisced her acting skills from back then with fondness.
Old Master Xi finished watering his flowers. He stood up, stretched his back and flexed his muscles before saying, "You can pretend that the previous meeting was coincidental. When she comes, you could act as if you were surprised to see that your granddaughter-in-law was the nice young woman from last time. Won’t that do the trick? Look at you, all anxious and unsettled!"
Old Lady Xi’s lips moved, but no retort came out.
"You’re still so cunning in your old age!" Old Lady Xi snorted and walked away.
"Hey! I’m offering you advice here, you old woman, but you’re still snarking me!" Old Master Xi shook his water can and returned to his room with his hands clasped behind his back.
After a while, he shouted, "Come and take a look! How is this outfit I’m wearing? Do I look formal enough?"
Xi Ting parked the Black Bentley when he arrived with Qin Yan.
Qin Yan followed Xi Ting into the house, but the deeper she went, the more something seemed not right.
"This is your family home?" Qin Yan asked with surprise.
