Chapter 245 - Old Man Xian’s Punishment II (1/2)
”No.”
”Hmm?”
”Absolutely not!”
Jiang Ruolan stood there stiffly and tried to move her legs as the Old Man turned his head away from her, but suddenly the Old Man's ruler slapped her leg.
”What are you trying to do? Stand up straight! There are another thirty more minutes!”
”Grandpa …” Jiang Ruolan was subdued and wanted to beg for mercy.
”Don't act coquettishly to this Old Man! I only teach you how to stand properly! What's with all the attitude?!”
Jiang Ruolan stood there sulkily and obediently.
The Old Man looked at her before standing up and walking over with the ruler. He lightly patted her leg with the ruler, ”Legs, straighten up!”
”Arms, tighten, hands, where are you putting them? Stick to the side of your legs! Puffing out your chest, look up!” The Old Man used the ruler to lift Jiang Ruolan's chin.
Jiang Ruolan had never experienced such a strict military stance. Back in her high school, no matter how rigorous her military training was, she never reached this level. Now, she was like a block of wood, not daring to move at all.
”You youngsters are too used to wandering around! If I don't give you a lesson, you really don't know what it means to have authority in this country!”
Jiang Ruolan pursed her lips and muttered under her breath, ”Grandfather, what era is this? Can't a violent revolution solve society's problems? It will not even be able to help solve family problems.”
”You dare to talk back?” Old Man stared at Jiang Ruolan sternly.
”I don't dare!” She quickly shut her mouth and looked seriously at the Old Man, determined that no matter what he said or how hard he criticized her, she would carefully accepting his teachings and not tell him about her grievances.
”Spoiled girl, this Old Man knows that you are clever! But you little girl, don't think you can become my elephant just by sticking two scallions in your nose!”
What kind of description was this?
”No, no. Grandpa, I'm actually quite a fool. When I was in university, I accidentally made six plus seven equal to fifteen, and it became a huge joke in the department.” Jiang Ruolan said this with incomparable honesty.
Old Man Xian immediately glared at her for a long time. Finally, he asked in a skeptical tone. ”Aren't six plus seven equal to fifteen?”
Jiang Ruolan: ”…”
'Grandpa, I don't know how to answer that question! If I answered that you were wrong, you would glare at me and I told you were right, you would call me a kiss ass girl. Grandpa, tell me what you want me to say about you.'
At this moment, the door to the study room was pushed open, but no one entered. Lowering her head, Jiang Ruolan saw a black dog casually walking in. Judging from the dog's attitude, it looked like it came to watch the show.
Jiang Ruolan was standing in a military stance! She was so embarrassed and decided to shift her grievance to the black dog. The dog and the man continued to stare at each other. The Old Man spoke, ”Chaoxiang, watch her. If she moves, you bark twice.”
While Jiang Ruolan was in shock, Chaoxiang immediately made two ”woof woof” sounds, implying that it had already received the order and will immediately carry it out.
As expected of a military dog!
The Old Man looked back at Jiang Ruolan again before he walked out with his walking stick, one step at a time.
In an instant, only Jiang Ruolan and the old enemy named Chaoxiang were left in the study room!
This dog's eyes were still as vicious as before. From its gaze, it was obvious that it did not want to welcome her! Chaoxiang walked over to Jiang Ruolan on all fours, circled around her twice, climbed onto the carpet at the foot of the desk, and continued to stare at her.
Jiang Ruolan also took this opportunity to sized it up and wondered if it had a good temper. If it is, then she needed to change the tactics.
Of course, she only thought about it but not doing it. Under normal circumstances, she might continue to try to curry favor with it the way she did last time. But not this time. Dogs and wolves had the same animal nature, so she needed a more efficient method to deal with it.
This was not something that could be done in front of anyone in the Xian Family, so Jiang Ruolan decided to ignore the dog, stood at her original spot with her eyes closed while she rested.
