Chapter 123: Chapter 122: Being Mocked (2nd Update)

The elderly lady flapping her fan glanced at her and raised her fan, "You’re asking for a beating."

Xu Sisi suddenly shrank her neck, oh, who lent her such audacity just now to dare to rant at her grandma.

Remembering the feather duster that her grandma often wielded on her buttocks, Xu Sisi’s face was full of sycophantic smiles, "Grandma, I was just joking with you."

The elderly lady continued to fan herself, casting a glance at the darkest of her granddaughters and said indifferently.

"Out of everyone in our family, you’re the ugliest. Instead of joking with your grandma, you’d better go see how Sister Niannian looks, and how she inherited all your grandpa’s good looks. Hurry and learn to make yourself prettier. You’re so dark, I can’t even find your eyes. I bet you’ll end up marrying a ghost."

When it came to her beloved eldest granddaughter, the old lady’s eyes and eyebrows softened with laughter, which in turn added several more folds to her face.

Feeling pleased, she took the opportunity to jab at Xu Sisi even more passionately, adding, "Even ghosts would think you’re too dark."

Xu Sisi had an expression as though she wanted to cry but had no tears, just from her yelling a bit, who had she bothered?

Ah, she felt like crying.

And to suggest she learn from Sister Niannian, as if that was something one could learn.

They had the same grandfather, so why didn’t she resemble him?

After all, wasn’t it all her dad’s fault for not inheriting their grandpa’s good looks or their grandma’s dainty beauty from her younger days, and instead looked like a mess of a fruit? How could she be blamed for that?

With a father who wasn’t impressive, inheriting less than ten percent of the old folks’ good looks, it was already not bad that she managed to inherit even one percent and still looked human.

Her cousin sister looked like their grandpa, beautiful and charming. They were two sisters after all. If her sister resembled him, one could round up and say she did too.

At least she didn’t turn out to be a gourd.

Just a bit dark, that’s all.

Elsewhere, outside the hospital, Xu Niannian looked back at the man who followed her step by step, and said with a bit of a shock, "Why are you following me?"

He wasn’t conceiving some crooked idea, was he?

She wasn’t particularly close to Jin Yu, but she wouldn’t say they were strangers either.

Xu Niannian was aware that in his sober state, Jin Yu likely wouldn’t genuinely try anything with her.

But he would be a pest.

That’s why Xu Niannian spoke with a strong sense of wariness.

"Where are you going?"

Jin Yu didn’t take Xu Niannian’s caution to heart and moved toward her with his still swollen, handsome face.

Xu Niannian instinctively took a step back to maintain a one-meter distance from him.

"Of course I’m going to find a hotel to stay."

Her injuries were not severe and didn’t require a hospital stay. It was already evening; she couldn’t stay at the hospital forever.

"Aren’t you afraid of running into thugs and hooligans again?" Jin Yu raised an eyebrow, with sharp and penetrating black eyes beneath his arching brows.

If asked to describe the impression Jin Yu gave her before all this, Xu Niannian would have said a walking male hormone.

That kind of wild charm was something she could only sense from him.

But now, the first thing Xu Niannian noticed was his swollen face, which when paired with his fierce aura, appeared exceptionally comical.

As the culprit, it wasn’t right for her to feel this way, but Xu Niannian just wanted to laugh.

She tried to hold it in but couldn’t help herself; Xu Niannian let out a snort of laughter.

Her enticing laugh was soft and squishy, sounding milky and mellow, tickling the listener’s ear like a fluttering feather brush.

The warm red light of the evening sunset shone evenly on her, making her already flawless face look warm, soft, and irresistibly charming.

Very enchanting.

Jin Yu clicked his tongue, came in front of her, hands on his hips, his slender phoenix eyes narrowed to slits, "Find it funny?"
