nThere was a long pause…

nBoss Yan was about to swallow a pastry when he heard what his grandmother said. The pastry got stuck in his throat and he choked.

nHis face turned red and he snatched Wen Xuxu’s cup and took a huge gulp of water.

nHe finally cleared his throat before sulking and throwing a disapproving look at Wang Daqin. “Dear Madam Wang Daqin, are you certain that you’re my grandmother?”

nShe never took his side during his arguments with Wen Xuxu. Not even once.

nShe had no qualms about insulting her own grandson because of Wen Xuxu.

n“I can’t be sure about this fact,” Wang Daqin replied in a deadpan manner and shifted her vision to the cup in Yan Rusheng’s hand. She smiled sneakily and said, “Xuxu drank from that cup you’re holding right now.”

nPoor Wang Daqin could even feel excessively thrilled by such an indirect kiss.

nIf someday her grandson and beloved Xuxu got together, wouldn’t she faint from happiness?

nYan Rusheng acted nonchalantly and took another sip. “She might be dumb, but it’s not like she has any infectious diseases.”

nWhat did he mean by that statement?

nDespite her silent internal protests, she remained calm.

nAnyway, this wasn’t the first time Yan Rusheng had insulted her; she couldn’t be bothered to be provoked by his remarks.

nFurthermore, Madam Wang always helped to vent her anger on her behalf.

nWang Daqin couldn’t understand her grandson. Does he not have any feelings towards Xuxu whatsoever?

nShe seemed to be an eyesore in his eyes and he constantly found fault with her. Other than that, she couldn’t detect any trace of loathing from him.

nShe heard that he never ate food that his girlfriends had touched with their cutlery. He didn’t even allow them to sit in the front passenger seat.

nHowever, towards Xuxu…

nMadam Wang Daqin had previously given up hope but she decided to persevere because of the cup of water.

n“Xuxu, I met Ah Heng’s grandmother at a gathering of old folks yesterday. She mentioned that he’s coming back next month.”

n“Oh,” Wen Xuxu answered lightly. She bowed her head and she seemed rather down.

nThe speed at which she chewed her food slowed down as well.

nYan Rusheng glanced at her and assumed that she was feeling sorrowful. His eyes twinkled with satisfaction since the words had caught Wen Xuxu’s attention.

n“I heard that Jiang Zhuoheng dated a mixed girl who was the prettiest girl in school. She’s also related to Country Y’s royal family.”

n“There is nothing superior about girls from foreign countries, girls from our own country are the prettiest,” Wang Daqin retorted. “I like girls who are just like our Xuxu.”

nWen Xuxu and Jiang Zhuoheng’s two-month relationship was known to the elders of the respective families.

nWang Daqin was depressed for a period of time when she heard about their relationship. But she changed her opinion since she knew that Jiang Zhuoheng was a nice person. Most importantly, he treated Xuxu well.

nEveryone viewed their relationship positively, so news of their sudden breakup came as a surprise and no one knew the exact reason why.

nXuxu explained vaguely that Jiang Zhuoheng was intending to further his studies abroad. Therefore, both of them came to a consensus to end their relationship.

nEveryone interpreted that explanation in a different way. Jiang Zhuoheng had jilted Wen Xuxu.
