Chapter 48 (1/2)

Luo Chenxi felt even less courageous to take it upon listening to Grandmother Mu’s remark.

She…she was not Grandmother Mu’s granddaughter-in-law though!

She had it all figured out earlier. She would do anything she could to find a reason and divorce Mu Yichen as soon as Lu Wenjun’s heart transplant surgery was completed.

Otherwise, was she going to spend the rest of her life disguised as someone else and be with a man that she had no feelings for?

Mu Yichen noticed the hesitation within Luo Chenxi. Radiance flickered in his eyes as he grabbed her wrist so firmly that she could not torture the poor jade bangle anymore.

“Aren’t you going to show some respect for Grandmother?”

“I…” Luo Chenxi looked at him in astonishment.

Mu Yichen should be the person that opposed her keeping the bangle the most, should he not?

Grandmother Mu looked hurt. “You refuse to take my jade bangle. Is it because you don’t like me and refuse to be my granddaughter-in-law? I knew it. One of my feet had already stepped into…”

“No, Grandmother! I like you very much and I love the jade bangle too. It’s exquisite! Thanks, Grandmother!” Luo Chenxi hastily interrupted her when she saw Grandmother begin to bemoan her fate again.

Grandmother Mu’s expression changed drastically in a second and she smiled. “I knew that you’re a good child.”

Luo Chenxi widened her eyes in surprise. What just happened? Grandmother seemed like she was about to cry earlier, did she not?

“Alright, it’s getting late. Why don’t you leave after having dinner with me? Sister Chen, is dinner ready?” said Grandmother Mu.

Sister Chen smiled and said from the side, “It’s ready. Everything is ready. The mistress has specially instructed me to make strawberry pudding for the young lady. It’s ready as well.”

“Strawberry pudding!” The little dumpling’s eyes lit up. She spread her short legs and ran toward the kitchen.

Luo Chenxi felt concerned, so she followed along.

Grandmother Mu’s gaze swept across to her grandson. She said in exasperation as if she was disappointed with him, “Look, she refuses to keep the bangle because she doesn’t approve of you! You’re useless, boy. How would you have ever gotten married if not for my help?!”
