Kexin nodded, smiling a little helplessly. “That’s right. That child has never put in so much effort for anyone before, only someone like Mr. He Yan could make her interested in something other than her career.”
Madam He let out a ‘hmph’. “Yes, she is quite interested indeed. To the point of sneaking into our house in the dead of the night, giving me a heart attack!”
The way she spoke meant that she wasn’t giving Guosheng any face to work with, and she was also suggesting that they apologized to her.
Wen Qing had already told Kexin what happened, but she still felt rather awkward. “This is indeed our fault, but she had good intentions. I hope you will understand her, Madam He.”
“Not at all!” The old woman swung her hand, her face unyielding. “The little one hiding behind you- not even greeting me after so long. What a cold world.”
Wen Xi froze, was she talking about her?
Guosheng quickly pulled her out. “Xixi is just shy. Actually, she likes you a lot, Madam He.”
Wen Xi quickly greeted her politely at the cue.
Madam He hmphed. “She used to call me Grandma before. Now suddenly I’m Madam He? A cold world indeed.”
Wen Xi smiled. “Yes, Grandma, you’re right.”
In her memory, Grandma He was actually rather cute, and an easy-going old woman, aside from the fact that she wasn’t all that kind with her words. She didn’t know how this old woman took a liking to her in her past life, inviting her to her house to chat two times, both times ending happily.
Wen Xi’s sweet voice had quite an effect on Madam He. She smiled suddenly, though it disappeared quickly enough. Her cross face returned as she grabbed He Yan’s arm. “Let me ask you, just what about my grandson is not good enough? Look at his face, his body- is this not outstanding enough? You play the cello, my grandson plays the piano. You’re studying to be a doctor, and my grandson already is a doctor! What a match!”
It was as if she was advertising a product.
Wen Xi held her ground despite the awkwardness, saying nothing.
“You two hadn’t even met each other when you said the other wasn’t your cup of tea. Such a waste of all my efforts!”
Wen Xi kept up her smile, waiting for the old lady to finish.
Kexin spoke up. “Xixi and Mister He’s fates aren’t suited to each other. She’s already engaged to Young Master Nan.”
“I know. I’m just mentioning it, is all. You don’t have to remind me!” She said unhappily.
“Grandma, let’s go.” He Yan finally spoke. He seemed to have a slight headache.
Wen Xi found this interesting all of a sudden. This wasn’t an expression she’d seen on him before.
“Wait.” Madam He turned around suddenly, taking her phone out and looking at Wen Xi. “Child, your cello playing is quite pleasant to listen to. Come to my house and play something for me once in a while, if you have time. Here, add my WeChat.”
With that, she got her QR code out.
Seeing Wen Xi just standing there, she spoke again. “What are you doing standing there, scan my QR code, child!”
Wen Xi did as she was told, she liked this grandma anyway. She was pretty interesting.
After that, she got into the car and He Yan closed the door, turning to Guosheng. “Grandma talks a lot, you guys don’t have to pay that any mind. ”
He Yan kept it at that. He looked at the two before looking at Wen Xi and got into the car.
Wen Xi lowered her head when he looked at her, but raised her eyes as the car left.
In her heart, she felt the same as she had when she left Weihai in the military car. She felt sad.
What a strange reaction.
