Chapter 922: What Should We Do?
Chapter 922: What Should We Do?
The two of them had been completely immersed in an unprecedented pleasure, who would have thought Grandma would suddenly knock on the door outside?
What should they do?
Zhang Shishi felt that if Grandma found out, she would die of embarrassment!
"Answer Grandma, don’t let her worry." Shao Chen reacted quickly and whispered in her ear.
Zhang Shishi nodded. "Grandma, I’m in here..."
Grandma sounded very worried about her: "How long have you been back?"
"I just got back and was taking a shower, Grandma," Zhang Shishi answered.
Outside the door, Grandma’s shadow was still cast there.
Zhang Shishi used her eyes to ask Shao Chen, what next...
Shao Chen lowered his head and kissed her. "You finish your shower and go out first. You take Grandma back to her room, and then I’ll come out."
"Okay." Zhang Shishi nodded.
Zhang Shishi had rushed in and hadn’t brought pajamas; she wrapped herself in a bathrobe and walked out, closing the bathroom door behind her in passing.
"Grandma..." Zhang Shishi looked at her. "Could you help me make some rock sugar pear soup?"
"Grandma will go right now." She immediately headed toward the kitchen.
After glancing at the bathroom, Zhang Shishi went back to her own room.
She went to change clothes and blow-dry her hair.
Shao Chen also quickly came out of the bathroom. Seeing a figure busy in the kitchen, he went back to his room to change, then stuffed all the dirty clothes from the bathroom into a big trash bag and left the house.
When Zhang Shishi finished blow-drying her hair and came out, she went to the kitchen.
Grandma was staring off into space, the water in the small pot already boiling over and spilling out, and she didn’t even seem to notice.
Zhang Shishi hurried forward and turned off the burner. "Grandma..."
"Shi Shi..." Grandma had heard the rumors outside too, and she was afraid Zhang Shishi had really done something wrong.
Back then, she had been sick, and Zhang Shishi was in college.
She knew Zhang Shishi wasn’t the kind of girl who’d latch onto a rich man. If Zhang Shishi had done those wrong things for her sake, she would never forgive herself.
"I’m sorry, Shi Shi..." Grandma choked up. "It’s Grandma who’s let you down... Grandma is your burden, it’s Grandma who’s ruined you..."
Zhang Shishi helped her over to the sofa and sat her down. "Grandma, you haven’t let me down! The stuff online about a female college student being kept by a man—that female college student isn’t me."
Grandma was a little confused. "But..."
"That girl just looks a lot like me. She’s my younger sister," Zhang Shishi said, squatting in front of her.
Grandma was stunned. "Your dad and your mom are both gone, where would a younger sister come from?"
"Grandma, my mom is still alive." Zhang Shishi’s voice turned a bit sad as she spoke.
Grandma reached out and hugged Zhang Shishi. She knew that all these years, even with Grandma’s love, the child still missed her mother.
But Xie Mei had never come back even once to see this daughter.
"Tell them to clarify it, tell them to say the one online isn’t you!" Grandma said at once.
Zhang Shishi sighed. "Grandma, I can’t. My sister is Dad’s posthumous child..."
"How is that possible?" Grandma shook her head. "After your dad had you, he had an accident and lost the ability to have kids again..."
Zhang Shishi hadn’t expected her mother to lie to her; after the initial fury, she actually burst out laughing.
This woman hadn’t just betrayed her father, she was now trampling her underfoot, all so her younger daughter could have a smooth path into a wealthy family.
Xie Mei really had calculated everything perfectly, but Zhang Shishi would absolutely never let that happen.
