528 Willing To Help (1/2)
While driving towards the meeting place, Ying couldn't help thinking about the reason behind this sudden appointment. Since her grandmother just met her last night, it was really difficult for her to process why she called her early in the morning again. As much as she knew about her grandmother, she wasn't someone who would like to chit-chat in a tea house.
There had to be a reason why she called Ying. But it was impossible for Ying to process it now since she had to leave her breakfast in midway. Most importantly, she had yet to tease Dylan.
Thinking about a horror-themed party for Dylan was enough to make Ying's lips curl up in mischief. But as she soon approached her destination, she changed her direction of thinking towards, 'I should give this idea to Xiu. That little sister of mine will definitely love to scare Dylan.'
Just thinking about Xiu's reaction brought a big smile on her face and she calmed down. It was just meeting her grandmother, how bad could it really be?
-Snow Blossom Tea House-
Passing through the Japanese style stone garden, Ying could describe this place exactly like she described her grandmother; old but magnificent.
Indeed, the tea house was old but it still hadn't lost its charm. Walking through the stone garden, it seemed to have transported a person to ancient times. This feeling... Of course, she knew her old grandmother must have an affinity with such a place.
The attendant led her to the private room and as soon as Ying slid the door open, she found her grandmother sitting upright and unperturbed on the cushion. But soon her eyes caught sight of another figure and she blurted out, ”Aiyo! Isn't this our family's Jini? What you're doing here, Jini?”
Sitting opposite from grandmother Shania was Zhou Jinhai who was leisurely sipping on his tea gracefully. Hearing Ying's form of address, his movements faltered a little but he didn't let his emotion show too obviously on his face. He simply decided to smile at her.
”Have you fed your manners to dogs?” The domineering voice of her grandmother almost made Ying jump. Not because she was scared but because it was too sudden.
Ying closed the door behind her as she politely replied, ”Yes, the dogs were very hungry for my manners.”
Zhou Jinhai pursed his lips while grandmother Shania glared at Ying's retort. Not backing down, she added, ”Feed some to yourself as well. You're apparently famished as well.”
Ying's lips twitched as she said, ”Gummy bear, did you just indirectly called me a dog?”
”What do you think?”
Looking at her grandmother's expressions, Ying was at a loss. ”Are you sure that I'm your granddaughter? While insulting me at every single chance, how can you claim that you love me the most?”
