Well... Angela intently looked at Lily"s face. Did she say something wrong? It seemed that she made her upset! "Hey, it"s really nothing. Please don"t get angry, Mrs. Gu."
It"s really a shame to upset a woman of old age. They have very sensitive emotions. Angela hoped she could take back what she said. If only that was possible...
"Well, Angela, you don"t even call me grandma anymore. My daughter-in-law must have told you something! Well, tell me!"
Angela shook her head immediately. "No, grandma. We just had a little chat, and it turned out to be a very nice casual conversation!" Angela forced a smile. What she said was really true, anyway...
Lily grabbed her hand. "Easy, Angela. I"m not angry. Can you make some tea?"
Angela nodded. She used to make tea for her grandfather. His grandpa had been an avid fan of teas. However, she said, "I can only make Tie Guan Yin. That"s the only brew that I know."
"I"ll drink Tie Guan Yin then!" Lily called the waiter to bring the tea leaves for Angela to brew.
The tea leaves was soon delivered. Service was really of high standard in this tea shop. Angela made a cup of Tie Guan Yin skillfully and placed the fragrant and aromatic tea in front of Mrs. Gu.
Lily nodded with satisfaction. She knew how a tea would taste just through its aroma. She drank the cup of tea made by Angela and got right to the point. "Angela, how do you feel about my two grandsons? Which one is better?"
"Which one was better? Did I hear that right?" Angela was confused. Remembering Nancy had criticized Teresa"s behavior before, Angela answered Mrs. Gu carefully, "Both of them are very good in people"s eyes, but neither of them is good for me. We just have our differences, I guess."
Lily"s heart suddenly sank. "But, why? That"s a shame."
"There"s no reason why. It"s probably because we just don"t hit it off. They"re both nice boys, but not my type!" Did she say it right? She didn"t want to hurt her feelings. Angela was nearly getting mad because of Mrs. Gu and her daughter-in-law.
Lily sighed heavily. "Angela, both of my grandchildren are nice actually. I wish you liked them, though."
Her words reminded Angela of Arvin taking her to the hotel and helping her deal with the wound. Yes, they do have some good characteristics. She nodded unconsciously. "Right, Dr. Gu is a good person
“Who does she think she is? I won’t marry her even if she is the last woman on earth,” said Hiram Rong.
“Marry into a family with tens of billions of a.s.sets? How lucky I am! I won’t be so foolish as to break off the engagement. At worst, I can receive money as part of the divorce settlement,” said Rachel Ruan.
Their great-grandfathers made a pact about their engagement a hundred years ago...
"Arvin, aren"t you a nice man? Why would Angela choose a poor boy rather than you? What"s the matter with you?"
Arvin heard it and frowned. What was the meaning of this? Did she have a talk with Angela?
Why did it sound so.... uncomfortable? He felt a bit pressured.
"Grandma, did you meet Angela? How did you know about this?"
"Yes, I did. The first thing that girl said to me was that she didn"t like either of you or your brother. You must have treated her coldly and your brother"s bad temper scared her!" Lily felt so distressed as she thought that that was the only reason!
A leopard cannot remove its spots! How could she force her two grandchildren to correct these shortcomings?
Angela said she didn"t like him? Really? Arvin sneered. "She"s a heartless woman. Her att.i.tude changes on whether you are useful to her or not! I don"t care for her at all."
Thinking of the way Angela was like when she needed his help, Arvin hated her more.
"Why do you regard her as a heartless woman? I"m not scolding you, Arvin. You should smile from time to time. My granddaughter-in-law was scared away by your sinister face! Take it easy, okay?" She was his grandmother and she was even afraid of him sometimes! That was how Arvin had always looked. He was so serious about everything.
It was so embarra.s.sing to let others know!
"I don"t care if she was scared away or not. I have no intention of getting married yet! I have many more things to do."
Lily glared at him angrily. "By the time you"re ready to get married, I will be dead already!"
