Chapter 1043: Men Really Don’t Know Many Positions
The old lady was pleased to see the two finally breaking the ice, feeling that this was probably the happiest moment this year. As long as Richard keeps Crystal in his heart, life will only get better and better.
"Madam, the old lady had some nourishing tonic brewed early in the morning, it’s been simmering gently in a clay pot, please drink it quickly," Sister Zhao said with a smile, even her way of addressing had changed.
Crystal nodded, truly hungry, and after drinking the tonic, she hugged the old lady’s arm, wanting to make her even happier, she asked, "Where did Richard go?"
"I don’t know, either went to find Alaric and Balthazar or went to see his comrades," the old lady said with a smile. "He said he wouldn’t be back for lunch, probably too embarrassed to face you."
Crystal burst out laughing, thinking of how the man’s repertoire last night was indeed limited, but he was strong and able, making a single position feel like life or death. Despite having been intimate, he still seemed unable to face it, this blockhead was indeed a bit innocent.
"Grandma, I almost suspect I’m your biological granddaughter, with Richard being the one you picked up. I’ve never seen someone speak about their grandson like this," she teased the old lady.
The old lady burst into joyous laughter, and for a moment, the Shaw Mansion was filled with cheerful laughter.
Because she had to join a field study before, Crystal took a month’s leave from school. Though the study group faced an unexpected return, her leave was not canceled. Crystal took advantage and rested at home for a day before heading back to report at school.
In the afternoon, news of Richard’s return spread, and relatives from the Shaw Family’s branches started to arrive.
The old lady was married to the Shaw Family’s eldest member, Grandpa Shaw had three brothers, each flourishing in their own way. While their branches thrived robustly, the main family’s branch seemed bare.
The visiting party consisted of the ladies from the Shaw Family’s second branch, and they brought their daughters along.
Ever since Richard’s parents sacrificed themselves for the country, the old lady had been raising her grandson alone, displaying immense strength. To ensure her grandson could grow up properly, she even severed ties with her own relatives.
Since last year when Crystal moved into the Shaw Family, the relatives discovered the old lady actually was willing to engage with them, bringing them great joy.
The relatives from Shaw Family’s branch, although having decent status in Imperial City, knew their current success was due to the old lady from the Shaw Family and the high-standing Richard Shaw.
They were merely enjoying the glory attached to the Shaw surname.
"The Howard Family’s second grandson is about to get married, and we came today to show the old lady the gift list we’ve prepared, in case there’s anything inappropriate," the matron of the second branch said with a smile, "brought Lana and Calliope over, hoping they could learn from Crystal. Crystal is a top student at Imperial City University, hanging around her is a sure way to success."
Lana and Calliope, one studying at Imperial City University, the other at the Language Institute, due to their similar age to Crystal, the second branch brought these two over to strengthen their connection with the old lady.
It had been over a decade since, after being heartbroken by her son and daughter-in-law’s deaths, the old lady’s affections extended beyond her grandson to the Landon Family’s child. They’ve witnessed this, understanding that instead of courting favor with the old lady, it’s better to treat Crystal well.
Their regular visits weren’t in vain, for anything big or small, the old lady always sought Crystal’s opinion. Outside, no one knew, but the old lady’s fondness towards this girl had grown almost mad. Many decisions at Shaw Mansion were made by Crystal.
