Chapter 856: Being In A Good PositionExtremely Powerful
She was old indeed, at 93. How could an ordinary person live to this age?
As he thought this, Jiang Yeqing 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 Chengcheng. “Chengcheng.”
Bo Chengcheng 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 Chengcheng 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 Chengcheng’s body and twisted her wrinkled face even more. She looked sideways at Jiang Yeqing and said, “You must have bullied Chengcheng 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 Chengcheng 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 Chengcheng’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 Chengcheng was, Grandma did not say anything else but turned to Jiang Yeqing, 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 Chengcheng, his gaze rested on her momentarily. Then, he quickly looked away and said, “Grandaunt, Cheng Cheng’s back?”
Grandma smiled. “Yes, Cheng Cheng is back.”
When Bo Chengcheng saw the man, she called out, “Brother Gao.”
Gao Zhuangshi was two years older than Bo Chengcheng. He was quite good-looking, but tanned from his lifestyle in the countryside.
When he heard Bo Chengcheng addressing him, Gao Zhuangshi seemed a little embarrassed and replied, “Chengcheng, it’s been a long time. This is…”
He spoke in a dialect that Jiang Yeqing could more or less understand. At the same time, he noticed Gao Zhuangshi’s expression and immediately added, “I’m Cheng Cheng’s husband.”
The shy smile on Gao Zhuangshi’s face faded. His gaze rested on Jiang Yeqing’s face and he turned to look at Bo Chengcheng in disbelief.
However, at this point, he was not the only one looking at Bo Chengcheng. Bo Chengcheng was the focus of two pairs of eyes – one was questioning and the other was threatening.
From the onset, Bo Chengcheng 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.”
Gao Zhuangshi had also seen a little of the outside world for a few years. When he was drifting along making a living, he sold high-quality imitation goods of various high-end brands.
Bo Chengcheng’s husband was wearing high-end branded clothes and none of them were fake items.
Bo Chengcheng looked much more low-key, but each item she had on cost no less than four digits.
She seemed to be in a very good position.
