Chapter 305: Chapter 306: Served Him Right

"Of course it’s true," Xu Nian’an nodded affirmatively. Although mung bean jelly was being sold for money, Pei Yining was Xu Nianhua’s friend and also Pei Yicheng’s sister. He wouldn’t be so stingy over a few bowls.

"Thank you."

Pei Yining said cheerfully.

The next day, Pei Yining ate mung bean jelly to her heart’s content. Despite Xu Nianhua’s advice, she didn’t listen, and soon, having eaten too much cold food, she began to feel unwell.

"Glutton," Du Chang felt her pulse and knew at once she had overeaten again.

Xu Nianhua said guiltily, "I’m sorry, it’s my fault. I felt yesterday that too much cold food wasn’t good for her, but I didn’t stop her."

"Grandpa, it’s not Nianhua’s fault, it’s all my own gluttony." Pei Yining couldn’t possibly push the blame onto Xu Nianhua, she quickly added, "She advised me yesterday, but I just craved it."

"Grandpa, you don’t know how delicious mung bean jelly is."

Pei Yining looked earnestly at Du Chang, adopting an apologetic and obedient demeanor.

"Hmph," Du Chang glared at her and said, "Stop making that pitiful face. As a girl, you shouldn’t eat so much cold food in the first place."

Since Du Chang had only this one granddaughter, of course, he was worried. Fortunately, over the years, he had been conditioning her body every time she visited. Otherwise, no matter how strong her constitution, it wouldn’t be enough considering the harm she could do to herself.

...

That evening, Xu Nianhua dined at the Du Family’s house at the insistence of Pei Yining. Pei Yicheng, knowing that her gluttony had upset her stomach, appeared upset himself. He handed over all the snacks Ling Dong had brought back to Pei Yining, saying, "There’s so much good food, don’t just eat the mung bean jelly. I know it’s tasty, but from now on, you can have at most one bowl, not more."

"Oh."

Pei Yining obediently admitted her fault. She naturally had a baby face which, upon being looked at, appeared even more pitiful and endearing.

"No overeating," Pei Yicheng pursed his lips, leaving no room for negotiation. He looked at Xu Nianhua, paused for a moment, and said, "You’re not allowed to overeat either."

Xu Nianhua looked up in confusion.

"Ha ha~"

The previously pitiful looking Pei Yining suddenly burst out laughing. She squinted her eyes and gestured at Xu Nianhua, saying, "Look how much my brother cares about you."

Xu Nianhua: Since when did I overeat?

With a look of satisfaction, Du Chang laughed, and Pei Yining also looked happy. The room was filled with a warm atmosphere.

This pleasant atmosphere was disrupted when Cheng Hao arrived with Zou Yaru.

Lately, Cheng Hao and Zou Yaru had been busy decorating their new house. To buy the house, Cheng Hao had used all his savings.

"Yining, what you think about Cheng Hao..." Xu Nianhua had barely started when Pei Yining interrupted, "Don’t, don’t lump me together with him, he’s just a heartbreaker who goes around deceiving young girls. Personally, I think it’s just a matter of time before he falls flat on his face."

"Cough."

Xu Nianhua cleared her throat. Although she also felt that Cheng Hao and Zou Yaru might not be quite right for each other, but...

Once Pei Yining began expressing her disdain, there was no stopping her. She raved, "If he truly falls, I’ll definitely clap. He deserves it!"

Xu Nianhua looked at Pei Yining with a complicated expression, thinking: Easy to say.

After a while.

"Everyone has their own thoughts, their own choices. Since it’s his choice, whatever the outcome, good or bad, he must bear it himself." Xu Nianhua spoke up. The relationship between these two people was indeed very deep according to Cheng Hao. Should anything unexpected happen to their relationship, Cheng Hao would certainly be the one most deeply hurt.
