Chapter 331: Grandparents Who Cannot Be Coaxed (1)
“h.e.l.lo, I’d like to have some cotton candy,” Xiang Yi said, her tender voice drawing the vendor back to reality.
As a staff member of Bunbun Amus.e.m.e.nt Park, she knew very well who the amus.e.m.e.nt park was built for.
Xiang Yi was the apple of her grandparents’ eyes, and they often showered her with love by spoiling her to bits. Even the amus.e.m.e.nt park was named after Xiang Yi’s nickname.
The maintenance of the facilities and land of the park alone required an indefinite amount of manpower and human resources. Staff members like her were actually college students who were sponsored by the Xiang family and would work on s.h.i.+fts at the amus.e.m.e.nt park. The job was stress-free, and they would also be able to earn some money to cover their living expenses.
“Miss Xiang, the cotton candy is free. There are two colors, which one would you like to have?”
Xiang Yi turned her head slightly to the side to look at s.h.i.+ Sui.
He looked down and answered with a faint smile, “Pink.”
“Sure, please wait a moment.”
In no time, a huge ball of pink, fluffy cotton candy was handed to Xiang Yi on a stick.
Xiang Yi handed it to s.h.i.+ Sui with a bright smile on her face.
The sight of a tall, grown man holding onto a stick of cotton candy was clearly supposed to be somewhat amusing, but Xiang Yi made it seem really sweet…
They must be in love, huh? They must be, right!?! Right!?!
…
Meanwhile…
A low-key but comfortable car was stopped in front of the entrance of the amus.e.m.e.nt park.
Xiang Yi’s grandfather was the first to step out of the car. He was dressed in a fas.h.i.+onable outfit comprising of a printed s.h.i.+rt and a pair of beige trousers. Although his hair was white, he looked rather energetic.
Xiang Yi’s grandfather opened the car door for his beloved wife, a habit he had been practicing for years.
Old Mrs. Xiang was wearing a floral dress and an apricot-colored shawl. The color of her bag matched that of Old Mr. Xiang’s tie.
“Old man, take a photo of me later. I want to upload it onto my WeChat Friends page to spite Mrs. Zhou from next door!”
Mrs. Zhou was the leader of the square dancing group that Xiang Yi’s grandmother was in. Apart from being the long-time lead dancer who would always take the center spot, she was also the first among the group to master the skills of using WeChat, which was to the envy of countless groupmates.
Old Mr. Xiang chastised, “How childish of you.”
Old Mrs. Xiang humphed and asked, “What? Are you despising me now? Well, get yourself another grave then. Don’t get buried next to me in the future.”
Old Mr. Xiang said, “Fine, I’ll help you take some photos, okay?”
He didn’t quite know how to use WeChat.
Why didn’t his family members teach him? Well, of course, it was because…
His children were busy and so were his grandsons and granddaughter…
‘Hmph, I don’t have a granddaughter. That brat made her grandmother so furious to the point of pa.s.sing out on several occasions. I won’t acknowledge her!’
Xiang Yi’s grandparents weren’t Internet savvy, so they still weren’t aware of Xiang Yi’s livestream.
Old Mrs. Xiang said, “I heard from Xiang Feng that Little Bunny has become normal again. Did you forget what Daoist Master Qin said? An evil existence possessed her body…”
“Nonsense!” Although Old Mr. Xiang was a Traditional Chinese Medicine pract.i.tioner who believed in the theological theory of using Yin and Yang energy as well as the five elements to treat illnesses. However, he vehemently refused to believe in superst.i.tions like ghosts and supernatural beings. “Why did you mention her? It affects my mood! Old lady, let me tell you, I, Xiang Yin, will never acknowledge her as my granddaughter for the rest of my life!”
Old Mrs. Xiang sighed, feeling extremely vexed when she recalled the unruly way “Xiang Yi” had behaved in the past year.
At the beginning, she brought “Xiang Yi” back to the Xiang family’s old residence to rest and recuperate, but “Xiang Yi” ended up wreaking havoc at home. One of the worst things she had done was to anger Old Mr. Xiang to the point of getting hospitalized and almost being checked into the intensive care unit…
Over time, Xiang Yi’s grandparents gradually became disappointed.
Later on, Xiang Chen took charge of the matter and sent her away. Since then, “Xiang Yi” had never taken the initiative to contact them and gradually lost touch with them.
To their surprise, when they entered the amus.e.m.e.nt park, the staff member said respectfully, “Old Mr. Xiang, Miss Xiang has brought her friends here to play.”
Old Mr. Xiang frowned and asked “How many of them are here? Are they male or female?”
The staff answered, “Uh, there are three men…”
Old Mr. Xiang flew into a rage and exclaimed, “You silly brat!!!”
