Chapter 7 – Going to Fu Family Home
When Shen QingLan returned to the school dorm, there was only one person left, and she was on the opposite side of hers. There were 4 people lived in their room, the three of them were locals, including Shen QingLan. Only Wu Qian who wasn"t from around here. Apart from winter and summer holiday, she didn"t go back home often. And she was basically working during the weekend.
Aside from Yu XiaoXuan, there was also Fang Tong. Today she went to have a date with her boyfriend.
After greeted Wu Qian, she took a shower and threw herself on the bed. Although it was already very late, Shen QingLan didn"t feel sleepy at all.
Didn"t know how much time had pa.s.sed, just as she was finally sleepy, her phone suddenly lit up. She took and unlocked it. It was text message. Looking at the strange number who send it, her beautiful eyes flashed slightly, her slender fingers were drawn to the screen and pressed delete.
*********
On the friday, Shen JunYu came to pick her up back to home early. When Shen QingLan returned to the Shen Family"s House, she didn"t see Chu YunRong and Shen XiTong. They seemed to be doing some shopping.
Shen QingLan didn"t really like to go shopping, she just occasionally did it when she was dragged by Yu XiaoXuan. The only time she had shopped together with Chu YunRong, was when she barely back to Shen Family again.
Shen QingLan found Grandpa Shen in the garden behind the villa, he was tr.i.m.m.i.n.g his flowers and shrubs.
“Grandpa.”
“Lan"er is back.” Grandpa Shen saw his granddaughter and smiled. He had been in the army for a lifetime. Even if he was not really a strict person, but it still was inevitable to be influence from his time in the military, like he didn"t like laughing, or wasn"t really closed to his grandchildren, well aside from QingLan.
“I already agree to come back to accompany you on the weekends, naturally I can"t break my own promise.” Shen QingLan"s tone was indifferent but if you looked at her eyes you could see how closed she was to the old man.
Grandpa Shen"s hand was holding a garden scissor to trim the branches and leaves from his flowers, and said to Shen QingLan: “Your Grandpa Fu"s grandson is return back home, he is inviting me to come to their house tomorrow. Will you accompany your grandpa tomorrow?”
Grandpa Fu"s grandson? Fu HengYi? She remembered meeting this man in the restaurant, Shen QingLan"s beautiful eyes sparked and her voice sounded out.
“Yes Grandpa, I"ll accompany you.”Shen QingLan took over the scissor in Grandpa Shen"s hand and helped him tr.i.m.m.i.n.g the branches under Grandpa Shen"s guidance.
As they were busying themselves in the garden, Chu YunRong and Shen XiTong had returned home.
“Mom, the color of the dress you bought today is so pretty. You have to know that when you walked out of the dressing room the a.s.sistant asked me if you are my sister. I said that you are my mother, but she still didn"t believe it, and think that I swindled her.” Shen XiTong"s happy voice sounded out clearly even trough a close door.
Chu YunRong smiled. “Oh you have such a mouth, that dress is indeed very beautiful, my daughter"s eyes are good.”
The duo mother-daughter talked pa.s.sionately, they didn"t even notice the two other people who just came inside. Until Shen XiTong finally noticed them first.
“Grandpa, QingLan, you came just in time, mom and I just finished shopping and bought some clothes for you.” Shen XiTong took out a dark brown s.h.i.+rt from the shopping bag and gave it to Grandpa Shen. “Grandpa, I choose it for you, do you like it?”
Grandpa Shen calmly nodded and said. “You"re considerate, Grandpa like it.”
Shen XiTong heard the words and smiled sweetly. “It"s good that you like it.” After said it, she took out another thing from the bag, a pale pink dress. “QingLan, this is what mom choose for you, she saw this and choose it right away for you. How is it do you like it?”
Shen QingLan"s eyes fell on the dress, the sleeveless dress, with no complicated pattern on the skirt but there was an enormous white peony on the waist, making the dress looked pure. But this dress looked very similar to the one Shen XiTong was wearing right now.
“QingLan, do you like the dress?” Chu YunRong looked at Shen QingLan, there was a touch of nervousness in her eyes, as Grandpa Shen"s words last night were still in her mind.
Shen QingLan reached out and took the dress. “I like it very much, thank you mom.” There was no extra words, and her eyes were calm and still, like there was no apparent like or dislike.
Chu YunRong saw her daughter att.i.tude, her mood became weaken. While looking at Shen XiTong, there was a touch of unknown emotion in the depths of her eyes.
When Shen QingLan and Grandpa Shen arrived at Fu Family"s house, there was only Grandpa Fu at home.
“Old Fu, I already come, you come out now.” As soon as Grandpa Shen entered the door, his loud voice echoed out the room, he always did this when meeting with his comrades.
“My ears aren"t deaf, what are you doing to call me in such a loud voice.” Grandpa Fu"s voice could be heard from upstairs, and soon a quick footsteps also could be heard.
“Grandpa Fu.” Shen QingLan looked at the energetic old man, whose eyes filled with smile.
Grandpa Fu"s eyes lit up brightly. “Ah, QingLan girl you also come. Oh you old man, why you didn"t tell me earlier if QingLan girl is also coming.”
Grandpa Fu turned his head towards Grandpa Shen, and his face looked as if full of rage.
Grandpa Shen"s face was filled with baffled expression, he just arrived here and hadn"t even greet each other properly.
Actually, what Grandpa Fu was thinking at this moment was that if he knew that QingLan girl was coming here, then he definitely wouldn"t let his smelly boy to go out, he even would tie him up inside the house.
Fu HengYi was already 31 this year, but until now he still didn"t have a girlfriend, all day long what he would always be in the army and all he thought was the army. Other family"s grandsons already made big family, even some of their child already could buy soy sauce by themselves. But his family"s still like that, it was what Grandpa Fu was worried about.
And this Shen Family"s girl, not only she the granddaughter of his long time friend, with her appearance, together with his grandson were simply a perfect match, and the children that would be born from the two of them would surely be as beautiful and fine as well. And as long as he brought his beautiful great-grandson in front of his old friends, he surely would harvested many envious and hateful gaze. Grandpa Fu was looking at Shen QingLan, and couldn"t help to drool.
Fortunately, Grandpa Fu"s intention wasn"t known to Grandpa Shen. Otherwise, the two old man would surely fight with each other. Your grandson was already 31, and my granddaughter was only 21, the age gap between your grandson and my granddaughter was so wide, he might possible be her uncle, but your grandson was shameless enough spouting this nonsense?
Shen QingLan didn"t know what Grandpa Fu was thinking in his heart. She just noticed that Grandpa Fu was staring at her for a while, with a happy face. After a while his gaze darkened, as he realized he couldn"t meet the expectation that he wanted. As his face was looking as serene as it could be, but in his heart he couldn"t help but to rant about it.
Grandpa Fu didn"t accompany them for too long, he quickly made an excuse to go to the bathroom, to call back his grandson, and threaten him that he must back at home in half an hour. After that he shouted at Grandpa Shen to accompany him to play chess.
Originally Grandpa Shen didn"t intend to stay at Fu Family"s house for a long time. He and Shen QingLan had to go to the hospital to accompany his wife. But now Grandpa Fu kept pestering him to stay, as he realize that this old man usually alone at home, because his only son and daughter-in-law usualy left early in the morning, his daughter was also already married and rarely came back home, and his grandson in the army and couldn"t come back home much. Thinking all of that made his heart soften a little.
Translator Note:
If only he knew that Grandpa Fu was only stalling time until Fu HengYi was back.
