Chapter 33: Let’s become sworn sisters (2/2)

“How can you say that? How would you know what happens in the future?” Suyang refuted.

What the hell is wrong with my boss? Can’t he see the current situation? My heart felt very tired.

“Come over here!” Grandmother Meng suddenly stood and dragged me to stand up. Then, she went inside the kitchen by herself to look for something. We heard her going through a bunch of pots and pans. After a little while, Grandmother Meng energetically came out with an incense burner.

Suyang and I looked at each other; we didn’t expect Grandmother Meng to take this so seriously.

Grandmother Meng sincerely stated, “Let’s become sworn sisters!”

“What?!” I yelled out from surprise. Grandmother Meng was Suyang’s granny. Based on our age and her seniority, we have two generation gaps between us. Yet, she wants to be sworn sisters?!

Suyang found this very amusing. He reacted like he was watching a comedy show. He didn’t even try to prevent it from happening.

What the hell! This was clearly happening because of him! How come I was the one that had to suffer?

“If we become sworn sisters, I will believe that you won’t end up with my Xiao Su!” Grandmother Meng was very serious about this issue. The muscles around the corners of her mouth and eyes were drooping downwards; as if all the cells in her body were telling me she wasn’t happy.

How come she disliked me so much? Wasn’t she ok momentarily ago? In the past, she told me to come by whenever to chat…

“Fine, as long as you’ll be relieved.” I gave up resisting. I’ll just do whatever that makes her happy. Deep down, I sighed to myself, even if I like your grandson, it’s not like he will like me…

At the end, I randomly ended up becoming the generation of Suyang’s granny. I went from a 25 years old female without ever having a boyfriend to having a 27 years old grandson! What type of sorcery was this? I could tell by Suyang’s trembling shoulders that was trying his best to suppress his laughter.

Afterwards, Grandmother Meng acted as if nothing had happened. She continued eating dinner, but called me “old sis”. I felt like the title matched my outfit.

Nightfall, Suyang and I were leaving. Grandmother Meng walked us to the door.

I blankly sat in the car as I looked out the window without any attachment to this world. I stared at the stars high above the sky and recalled the words that Grandmother Meng had said to me after we had become sworn sisters.

“Old sis, my grandson and I have been mutually dependent on each other for years. Now, Xiao Su has grown up. My biggest concern for him is finding a girlfriend!”

“Aside from being handsome, good in school, filial, kindhearted, he doesn’t have any more good qualities. But strangely, he is often surrounded by extreme and ridiculous women. So, sometimes I worry for him. I’m worried he will encounter a bad woman and be tricked.”

“Old sis, when you and my grandson are returning home, please be careful. It is late. Also, he is the younger generation, so please help me watch over him….”

When Grandmother Meng kept referring me as “old sis”, it made me felt very awkward. That title wouldn’t stop spinning around my head. It just wouldn’t go away.

I opened the car window a tiny crack, and we happened to pass by a forest trail. The air was very fresh. It was perfect for clearing my mind.

“Today, you must give me an overtime fee for mental compensation.”

Suyang lightly chuckled, “Alright.”

“Also, you’re not allowed to call me granny. I know you’re going to use it to laugh at me…” I crossed my arms as I stared at the rows of traffic lights; it had a hypnosis effect. I was seeking for spiritual serenity.

“If you didn’t want to, why didn’t you reject her?” Suyang asked.

How could I tell him I had to do as she says because I still required Grandmother Meng’s help? Why were these Su descendants so good at grabbing hold of my weaknesses, leaving me with no choice other than to listen to them?

I felt like I was forced into the Su family. In ancient terms, it was similar to being sold into the family as a slave.

“What’s the point of rejecting? Plus, it’s not that big of a deal…” I breezily replied, “In the future, you should go visit her more whenever you have time.”

“I will.” Suyang replied. He gradually began to accelerate.

The wind coming in through the window became too fierce, making it impossible for me to get into a state of serenity. Furthermore, the wind was turning my hair into a mess.

“Driver slower, Xiao Su.” I ordered.

“What did you call me?” Suyang exclaimed as he slowed down.

I leaned my head against his arm as I gazed up at him. For some strange reason, he looked exceptionally handsome tonight. Was it because of the lighting from the streetlights?

I admired Suyang’s face as I evilly laughed, “You don’t want me to call you Xiao Su?”

“Landlord and tenant, boss and assistant, teacher and student, granny and grandson...we sure have a lot of relationships between us!” Suyang sighed.
