151 IMPOSSIBLE TO CORNER HER (1/2)

”Father-in-law, I thought that you would return a little later.” Chu Ling spoke while helping the elder to a comfortable seat.

Obviously, the man was old, but he did not need help. However, he did not turn away the good will from his daughter-in-law. Once he settled down, he looked at the room in surprise. It seemed that there was something going on. What had he walked into?

”I managed to come back to the city a little earlier.” The elder spoke with a casual tone. ”But it seems like I am intruding on something.”

His eyes looked particularly at his grandson and the two women. 'His wonderful grandson wasn't forsaking the teachings of the family and starting a harem, was he?' He wondered in his heart. That would not do.

It should be known that Elder Zhong had had too much time since his retirement as chairman, and he might gained an interest in entertaining things like web novels and manga among other things. So, his mind was a confused mess between an old man and an overly imaginative otaku.

”You like to joke, father-in-law. Song Lili came to see us and bring some presents, and Feng'er came by with his friend.” Chu Ling explained.

Elder Zhong looked around the room and found the items. He also noticed the box of tea on the table.

”Did she also bring this stuff?” Elder Zhong leaned and took the box in his hand.

Chu Ling felt a little awkward about this matter. Elder Zhong had always hated medical supplements the most. He believed that if you needed nutrients, you could get them from food. She did not want Song Lili to take the blame for the gift, but she felt it was not right to just expose the Hu girl.

However, she did not have a chance to give a perfunctory response.

”Grandfather, Hu Lei brought it.” Zhong Feng spoke up unexpectedly.

Usually, Zhong Feng was reserved before his parents because he did not know how to interact with them on a normal level. This was the reason he did not talk to them about his life or visit his childhood home frequently. It was also this awkwardness between them that had caused him to move out of the home as soon as he had turned eighteen.

However, when it came to his old grandpa, he felt like he could talk to him normally and even treat him as a friend. He was the only close family member who did not still see him as that sickly young boy he had been, struggling for life for years. He saw him for who he had become.

”Oooh, which of these two young ladies is Hu Lei?” Elder Zhong asked in teasing.

Zhong Feng stood up and brought Hu Lei along before his grandfather with a small smile.

”Grandpa, this is my girlfriend, Hu Lei.” He introduced in a good mood. He felt that this was a good moment to ensure that everyone understood his intentions.

Elder Zhong looked at the girl with unconcealed curiosity. And Hu Lei liked him immediately. He did not seem to have a façade over his face or eyes. Though he was most likely a crafty old fox, he did not make her feel like he was concealing his real self behind a mask.
