Chapter 379: Chapter 378: Encounter

Zuo Qing pursed her lips and said no more.

The old lady immediately sensed something was amiss between the two.

She furrowed her brows, her gaze sweeping over Zuo Qing, intentional yet unintentional.

Given her understanding of her granddaughter, it was unlikely she would offend someone.

The most crucial point was that their family’s Xiaohei had a very good temperament.

Zuo Qing’s obvious change in attitude displeased the old lady.

Although she always complained about Xiaohei, who else could she be but her own granddaughter? No matter the complaints, she was still her own flesh and blood.

The old lady immediately suspected Zuo Qing of not wanting Xu Wentian to have children.

But she didn’t show her displeasure right away.

She turned to ask Xu Wentian, "Old man, where’s Sisi’s room?"

Xu Wentian hurried to have the butler arrange a room for Xu Sisi, the one closest to his own bedroom, with Zuo Qing’s room on the right.

Zuo Qing’s expression remained unchanged, but beneath her lowered eyelids, unknown emotions flowed.

Her hands tightened by her sides and then finally relaxed.

Neither the butler nor Xu Wentian noticed anything odd about Zuo Qing.

After all, being a young girl, once her room was assigned, Xu Wentian asked Zuo Qing to take Xu Sisi out shopping for things a girl needs.

Xu Sisi quickly waved her hands and said, "Ah, Grandpa, Grandpa, there’s no need, I can go by myself."

Xu Sisi refused, but Xu Wentian disagreed, "You’re a girl and unfamiliar with this place, how can we let you go alone?"

Xu Wentian naturally pampered his long-awaited granddaughter who was finally around him.

He said, "Qingqing is your Young Aunt, don’t be a stranger." With that, Xu Wentian directly instructed Zuo Qing, "Qingqing, later you take Sisi to the Department Store. Buy whatever Sisi wants; don’t think about saving money on my behalf."

Upon hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Zuo Qing’s face: "Okay, Godfather."

Xu Sisi still wanted to refuse, but seeing Zuo Qing had already agreed, it wouldn’t be right for her to continue refusing.

She felt extremely awkward.

Even though Xu Wentian was her biological grandfather, since they hadn’t lived together for long, Xu Sisi could act spoilt and capricious in her grandmother’s presence, but she really didn’t dare to retort in front of Xu Wentian, so she could only agree.

Seeing her granddaughter with her head down, the old lady slapped her on the back: "When your grandpa tells you to buy, you buy, stop with the needless politeness. This is our home, and you should not be thinking about saving money for your grandpa."

The old lady’s slap was not light; Xu Sisi was jolted by the slap and immediately straightened her back, ergo: "Understood, I will honorably complete the mission."

Only then did Xu Wentian and the old lady smile.

After instructing Xu Sisi, the two elderly people couldn’t bear it any longer and went back to their rooms to rest.

Xu Sisi’s room had already been tidied up by the staff.

This was the first time Xu Sisi had lived in such a nice place.

Whether it was the bed or the items inside, everything looked particularly luxurious.

Xu Sisi carefully touched the headboard and exclaimed with a hand over her racing heart: "I never imagined I, Xu Sisi, would actually be a third-generation rich kid."

After her moment of awe, Xu Sisi promptly organized the things she brought with her, getting ready to go out and buy some daily necessities.

In fact, she didn’t have anything special she needed to buy.

But since her grandfather had spoken, she had to go out.

Finally able to live in the capital, Xu Sisi was incredibly happy; she was one step closer to Brother Ruiyang.

With an excited heart, Xu Sisi left the house beautifully.

As soon as she stepped out of the door, she encountered Zuo Qing.

Or rather, Zuo Qing had been standing at the door waiting for her, and Xu Sisi actually had a very good impression of her.

She seemed like a Jiangnan woman who had stepped out of an ink painting, ethereal, clean, and gentle.

But for some reason, it seemed like she didn’t like her very much.

However, Xu Sisi was consistently enthusiastic.

Seeing Zuo Qing at the door, before she could remember that Zuo Qing seemed not to like her much, she greeted her out of habit.

"Young Aunt, what are you doing here?" she asked with a giggle.

Zuo Qing glanced at her and said with pursed lips, "I’m taking you shopping."

"Oh."

In front of such a gentle, graceful, and beautiful aunt, Xu Sisi felt that even speaking louder might startle her.

Thus, the two of them set out together.

The butler drove them there.

Having ridden in a sedan before, Xu Sisi wasn’t overly reserved. She climbed into the back seat immediately upon getting in the car while Zuo Qing also sat in the back, each occupying one side.

Xu Sisi was Xu Wentian’s biological granddaughter, and the butler treated Xu Wentian as his own family’s most important person, so he treated Xu Sisi as he would his own younger generation.

Worried that Xu Sisi might not understand many things, the butler said while driving, "Miss Sisi, whatever you want to buy later, just say the word; don’t think about being frugal."

These words actually paralleled what Gao Lihong had said, containing a similar sentiment.

Xu Sisi had been daydreaming when the butler spoke. She blinked and after a long moment, she recalled the butler’s words.

Receiving the butler’s kindness, her eyes curved into a smile: "Thank you, Butler Grandpa."

Just then, Xu Sisi, with sharp eyes, saw the driver of the car approaching from the opposite direction.

"Brother Ruiyang!" she exclaimed excitedly, standing up, forgetting she was inside a car and bumping her head with an "Ow," covering it with her hand.

Her voice was so piercing that Jin Ruiyang heard it, and he happened to stop his car next to the butler’s. The butler followed suit and stopped as well.
