Master's Untamed Wife

Chapter 1121: Old & Forgetful

“Ah! I feel like seeing my own daughter has grown up,” said Grandma Zhai. “No, I should say this foolish daughter has learned to love herself.”         

    

Yue Yue grinned at her words.     

“You, little one, come over to our house sometime,” Grandpa Zhai spoke up. “Don’t be so shy with us.”     

“Yes, yes,” agreed Grandma Zhai. “You don’t have to worry about anything. I kicked out your parents. You can come anytime you want.”     

‘You’d never kick anyone out of your house.’     

Grandma Zhai smiled at her sheepishly. “I wanted to do. But before I could take any action, your father took your mother from there. But I don’t think he knows about your mother’s visit to your place. If he did, it wouldn’t be so peaceful. Hmmm… I should find some time to let him know.”     

“Old woman, have you gone crazy? Or you want to watch the world burn at this age?” asked Grandpa Zhai.     𝑂𝑣𝑙xt.𝑐𝒐𝗆

“Why not? That Yue Lan created so much mess in my family? Why can’t I watch the drama of her family? You can’t blame me. I have been a peace-loving old lady, it’s that woman who made me so vengeful at this age.”     

Yue Yue didn’t know what to say but she actually felt like Yue Lan had tortured Grandma Zhai a lot over the years. This realization made her very uncomfortable. After all, she brought that troublemaker into the Zhai family’s life. They would have been still peace-loving people if it wasn’t for Yue Lan.     

Not even for a second did she doubt Yue Lan’s ability to cause trouble. She had lived for over 18 years with that woman. How could she not know what she was capable of?      

In fact, that was a lie. She didn’t know what she was capable of until just recently. She always thought her sister was willful and a little more temperamental. Who knew she was vicious too? Yue Yue could only sigh over the fact that it took her too long to figure out who or what Yue Lan could do.     

Grandma Zhai patted Yue Yue’s head, “You don’t worry about it as I said. Even if that troublemaker comes, I won’t let her touch you. I have had enough. I tolerated her enough for the sake of my grandson. Otherwise, I have long lost my patience with her.” It seemed she felt like talking about Yue Lan really ruined her mood so she decided to not talk at all about her and changed the topic. “By the way, I heard about your son. Why don’t you introduce him to us?”     

‘Haven’t you met him already?’ asked Yue Yue.     

“That’s different. Even if we have met. You haven’t introduced us yet,” said Grandma Zhai.     

“That’s true. That’s true. You haven’t introduced us. You have to tell him clearly that we are also his grandparents,” added Grandpa Zhai immediately. He had been feeling sour from the moment he first saw Hyson’s interaction with his friend, Xiang Tianyu. So, he had to do something about it. Now, since Hyson was Yue Yue’s son, he had the right to be called a grandfather, right?      

Even if he didn’t, he had to insist that he did. Just to piss off his good friend!     

One could say these old men were truly stubborn as well. And childish since they also wanted to face and wanted to outdo each other even at this age.     

“I almost forgot. Yue, what about your hu-… Er! Old man, stop pinching me!” Grandma Zhai glared at her husband who stopped her from continuing. But Grandpa Zhai didn’t mind this glare at all. He just had to stop his careless wife once again. Because he knew she was gonna ask about Yue Yue’s husband and he wanted to really poke this old woman’s brain right now for that.     

Since no one had spoken about Yue Yue’s husband all this time, it was clear enough that there was no husband in the picture. Why was this old woman still insisting on bringing up this topic? Even if Yue Yue was broad-minded enough to not mind the question regarding her voice, he didn’t think Yue Yue would be that comfortable talking about this.     

Weren’t they having a good and pleasant conversation? Why ruin it by bringing up such topics?     

“Let’s stop chatting. Look over there. Isn’t that your painting association’s president? Do you wanna go over to say hello to that old man? I think he came with his wife. Let’s go over.”     

“Huh?” Grandma Zhai looked reluctant.     

“What are you hesitating for? Xiao Yue is still here. If nothing else, we can just go to Old Xiang’s house to meet her. Can she run away?”     

Grandma Zhai finally agreed, “That’s true. Then, Yue Yue, you take care of yourself. I’ll see you later. Okay?”     

Yue Yue nodded obediently at her and smiled sweetly.     

Grandma Zhai was so happy to see her like this that her own lips stretched into a big smile. It couldn’t be helped actually. It’s been such a long time since she had seen such a well-behaved Yue Yue. She looked so docile and harmless right now.         

    

But Grandma Zhai was actually happy to see the reflection of her old Yue in the current one. However, it won’t change the fact that Yue Yue had changed. She wasn’t as docile and harmless as she used to be. But the purity in her sweet smile which instantly lifted her mood was still there.     

Now, she understood what kind of a mother could raise a sunny boy like Hyson.      

Who else but someone with a pure and sincere heart like Yue Yue?     

It’s such a shame that she couldn’t bring this girl home like she wanted to. Maybe her son was really not lucky. Oh, wait! No, her son was just blind. That’s it. She wasn’t willing to take any other excuse.     

“Didn’t I tell you to not mention Yue Yue’s husband?” asked Grandpa Zhai in a small voice when they walked quite some distance away from Yue Yue.     

“I… Forgot! You can’t blame me though. I’m old. I am forgetful.”     

“Lately, you’ve been pushing a lot of blame on your old age.”     

“I’m just reminding you and myself that we are old now. We should accept it too.”
