Chapter 1300: What Do You See in Him

“Oh, I wouldn’t dare, how could I possibly make you miss me?

I’m just an old lady; can’t I live by myself with a parrot?

How could I let you all worry about me.”

Nan Jiaojiao pretended not to understand Old Lady Bo’s sarcastic tone and massaged her even more skillfully.

“If I don’t think about you, who else would I think about?

That Bo Yanching, the old man?”

Old Lady Bo almost couldn’t hold back her laughter.

This girl is as clever as a fox.

If it were any other old lady, a granddaughter-in-law speaking ill of her grandson to her face would’ve earned a slap long ago.

But who asked Bo Yanching to behave this way over the years, turning himself from the old lady’s beloved to some ambiguous, aging, greasy man.

Even she started to dislike him, who could she blame?

“And haven’t you been off with that old man for quite a while, without even calling me once.”

Nan Jiaojiao’s nonsense flowed smoothly: “Next time, I’ll take you with me wherever I go!”

Old Lady Bo was nearly grinning from ear to ear inside, but she had to maintain her composure on the surface.

She sat, while Nan Jiaojiao squatted, her gaze naturally going downward.

She glanced at Nan Jiaojiao’s half-kneeling leg.

Nan Jiaojiao was instantly puzzled, hesitated for a moment, and then thought, she might as well kneel, as her other leg swiftly moved to kneel, but Old Lady Bo’s eyelid twitched and she quickly pulled her up.

“What are you doing!”

The old lady made her sit by her side, “I was just teasing you a bit, and you took it seriously!”

Nan Jiaojiao chuckled, “I was showing respect to you.”

The old lady gave her a sidelong glance, “Enough with your flattery; say one more word and it’ll be too much.”

Nan Jiaojiao laughed foolishly, not responding to the remark, but the laughter seemed like she was deliberately trying to please.

The old lady sighed, “It’s not like I’m unhappy with you.

It’s just, why are you so foolish?

You’re still young, but Xiao San is much older.

He’ll age faster than you, and you’ll be the one suffering later.

I was thinking since I like you, if you and Xiao San are really not meant to be, I’d recognize you as my god-granddaughter and find you a good match.

Who knew you’d be so blind!”

The more the old lady spoke, the angrier she got.

Bo Yanching was critiqued into the ground, and in the end, she even criticized Nan Jiaojiao: “It’s like your mind is covered with lard!”

Nan Jiaojiao couldn’t hold back any longer and burst out laughing, almost choking as she tossed a peanut brittle into her mouth, chewing it messily, joking with the old lady: “It’s okay, Uncle Bo is still in good health.

It’ll be a while before he gets old.

If he really can’t move in the future, I can just leave him.”

The old lady suddenly fell silent, then asked worriedly, “Can’t move where?”

Nan Jiaojiao almost choked on her words.

She thought she’d slipped up, thinking that older folks might not accept it, but looking at the old lady’s expression, she could almost see the gossip bursting from her eyes, clearly implying something.

Nan Jiaojiao mumbled, “Is the place you’re referring to the one I’m thinking of?”

“What else?” The old lady gave her a strange look, “What else are you after, just chatting under the covers?”

“Well…

not necessarily.”

She wanted to chat, but Bo Yanching wouldn’t allow it.

She dared not say much, fearing the old lady might be more open than herself.

She even quietly thought that if she paired Old Lady Bo up with her master for a chat, they might end up discussing the origins of mankind.

“Grandma, if you keep disliking me, you’ll end up pushing your granddaughter-in-law away.

Who will you have to keep you company then?”

Bo Yanching came over from a distance, his voice arriving before he did.

Old Lady Bo instinctively flinched, embarrassed, as if she had been caught talking behind someone’s back.
