Secret Marriage - L.K Adaptation

172.

856. Being In A Good Position

She was old indeed, at 93. How could an ordinary person live to this age?

As he thought this, Jiang Yoongi said, "You're still young. You look like you're in your seventies, not nineties."

He spoke in Chinese and Grandma understood it. She smiled and shook her head. Then, she waved at Bo Jennie. "Jen"

Bo Jennie was asking the nanny about Grandma's recent health condition. When she saw the old woman calling out to her, she immediately came forward and reached out to hold the old woman's dry and wrinkled hand. "Grandma."

Grandma looked at Bo Jennie from head to toe.

Although her eyes were old and blurry, she was a sharp woman.

Grandma looked at her for a long time and said with heartache, "Look at you, little girl. You were already thin to begin with, now you're all bones?"

She pinched Bo Jennie's body and twisted her wrinkled face even more. She looked sideways at Jiang Yoongi and said, "You must have bullied Jen and haven't taken good care of her. Remember how you promise me that you'd take good care of my precious granddaughter before I agreed to your marriage? What have you done now!"

Bo Jennie looked a little awkward and said, "Grandma, everything's fine. Work's busy and I have no free time. It's not because of him."

Grandma looked at her in disbelief. "If work's busy, then the more he should take care of you. In the past, when your grandpa and I were both working, he took such good care of me every day. He must be treating you badly."

Bo Jennie's heart was warmed by the old woman's concern but she shook her head at the same time. "No, he treats me very well. It's really because of my work."

Given how adamant Bo Jennie was, Grandma did not say anything else but turned to Jiang Yoongi, and started chiding him.

Before she could say much more than a few words, there was a knock on the door.

A tall and thin man with dark skin walked in. When he saw Bo Jennie, his gaze rested on her momentarily. Then, he quickly looked away and said,
"Grandaunt, Jenjen's back?"

Grandma smiled. "Yes, Jenjen is back."

When Bo Jennie saw the man, she called out,
"Brother Gao."

Gao Zhuangshi was two years older than Bo Jennie.

He was quite good-looking, but tanned from his lifestyle in the countryside.

When he heard Bo Jennie addressing him, Gao Zhuangshi seemed a little embarrassed and replied, "Jenjen, it's been a long time. This is..."

He spoke in a dialect that Jiang Yoongi could more or less understand. At the same time, he noticed Gao Zhuangshi's expression and immediately added, "I'm Jenjen's husband."

The shy smile on Gao Zhuangshi's face faded. His gaze rested on Jiang Yoongi's face and he turned to look at Bo Jennie in disbelief.

However, at this point, he was not the only one looking at Bo Jennie. Bo Jennie was the focus of two pairs of eyes one was questioning and the other was threatening.

From the onset, Bo Jennie had no intention of denying it, hence she nodded in response to Gao Zhuangshi's gaze.

The man looked a little disappointed and said, "So you're already married. Why haven't I heard about it? You didn't even invite us to your wedding banquet. From the way your husband is dressed, it doesn't look like he can't afford a banquet."
