Chapter 486: I can be your mother too
Apart from the contents of the vault, the old madam narrated everything about their journey from start to finish to her husband. Chi Lian sat in the living room watching in fascination at the behavior of the two elderly people. At this point she was quite sure that the old madam would secretly tell her husband about the vault contents when they were alone in their room. At thr end the conversation she said, "The emperor gave Chi-Chi a recipe for almond jelly cookies, and that’s everything that happened."
All the old master had said was , "This is a beautiful clock." and the old madam opened up like a flower. She was like a child reporting the events of her day to her parent, Chi-Chi used to think that she was the only one that did that with Muyang, how wrong she was.
"It sounds like you all went on an adventure without me, why wasn’t I invited?" the old master indulgently looked at his wife and held her hand.
"Bah!! you decided to go running to the cold town without telling me, what were doing over there?"
He smiled and hissed softly, "Sorry for not telling you in advance my dear, my friends went to take a look so I went with them, the projects are coming along quite nicely. In two months it’s possible for Chi-Chi’s entire building to be ready."
"Thank you for checking on my building grandpa, you can go and supervise them on my behalf as many times as you want." Chi Lian said from the side. "Grandpa. I want to speak to you about something."
The old madam bent her body a bit low because her husband was blocking her view of Chi Lian "Are you going to tell him about Rose?" she asked curiously.
"Yes grandmother, it’s not something that can wait." Chi Lian nodded. It would be easy on herself and Rose to adapt if her living arrangements were handled as soon as possible. She had already been moved from her home, family and country. She also knew that Chi Lian was now guardian, if she packed her up and sent her elsewhere later on the girl would be hurt emotionally.
Chi Lian went on to tell the old master the similar story story she told the old madam about her unnamed friend and guardianship.
