Chapter 393: Having A Crush On A Studious Senior
‘Interview Xu Hao?’
At the thought of that lunatic’s face, she could already tell what the interview was about.
“It’s okay, I know I’m innocent.”
“Jinyi, I think you have to make some clarifications. Many of your so-called former classmates have come forth to say that you and Xu Hao used to date each other when you were students. During high school, you even sneakily went to watch him play basketball.”
‘Watch him play basketball my foot!’
She remembered that that didn’t happen at all.
During high school, she had a crush on a senior who excelled academically and also belonged to the basketball team. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have bothered to watch the bunch of skinny boys playing basketball.
“Oh it’s not true anyway.”
‘No, Sangsang and the original Yan Jinyi had known each other for more than ten years so Sangsang must know about those things between me and Xu Hao. She should also know about that grandmother of Yan Jinyi’s.’
Yan Jinyi glanced at Yang Guifang who was carefully sizing her up.
“Sangsang, let’s have dinner tonight. Gotta hang up now.”
After hanging up calmly, Yan Jinyi pointed at Chen Yulian and continued to speak, “Since you’re here too, let’s go. Oh by the way, you have to apologize to me first lest I report you to the police for slander.”
Chen Yulian suppressed her anger and chuckled. “This is all just a misunderstanding. I was just worried because I couldn’t find your grandmother. Since she’s fine, I can be at ease now.”
As she spoke, Chen Yulian looked at the clock on the wall and said, “Jinyi, it’s getting late and it’s dinnertime soon. Why don’t you take me and your grandmother in for the night and we’ll leave tomorrow instead?”
There were lots of treasures in the house and she was bent on taking a few before leaving.
After the town committee renovated her ancestral home, she would take a few out and put them on display so that she could show them off to her guests.
She glanced at the cabinet near the door.
There was a small and exquisite wooden sculpture. When she passed by it, she took a sniff and it was extremely fragrant.
Afraid that Yan Jinyi wouldn’t agree, Chen Yulian walked past Yang Guifang and pinched her shoulders. “You should know that our new home hasn’t been renovated yet and we’re quite far away from here. Your grandma is old and her legs are ailing. I…”
“Take a taxi home then,” Yan Jinyi said coldly, interrupting Chen Yulian.
Chen Yulian immediately looked like she was extremely heartbroken. “Jinyi, you’re being too inhumane! I know you’ve married into a wealthy family and your status is different now. You can choose not to acknowledge me and your uncle but she’s your grandmother. Your biological grandmother! Her legs are ailing and you won’t even let her stay for a night. What will your late parents think?”
As soon as Chen Yulian finished speaking, Yang Guifang immediately looked hurt and devastated.
She merely sobbed but did not reprimand Yan Jinyi or speak up for her.
It was rare for Yan Jinyi to not lose her temper at such times. She spread her hands apart and said helplessly, “She’s my grandmother after all. How can I say no? However, she’ll have to make do with the maids’ room.”
‘Maid room?’
Tang Qing couldn’t help but find Yan Jinyi a little stingy. ‘The Huo family’s mansion is enormous, don’t you have a room to spare?’
“There are only a few bedrooms in the main residence and the Huo siblings have each occupied a room. Grandpa and I have a room each too. Well, I don’t mind letting you stay in the study if you don’t mind sleeping on the floor.”
Chen Yulian gritted her teeth. “What about the guest room then?”
Yan Jinyi rolled her eyes and said, “Do you think this is a hotel? There are only three guest rooms in this house. One is for Shen Yan, the study is meant for me, oh and…” At this point, Yan Jinyi suddenly snapped her fingers and said, “Oh, there’s actually another room. I don’t really have any hobbies but lately I’ve started studying skeletons together with Chengyu. They’re all there.”
