Chapter 2787: Chapter 2723: Is It Really That Serious?
"Forget it." Old Madam Wei shook her head.
Jiang Xiao rubbed her forehead speechlessly.
Old Madam Wei wasn’t that easy to hoodwink, and she was solely focused on continuing to talk about Wei Yixi.
But why did she have to keep listening to stories about Wei Yixi?
Jiang Xiao gave Ding Haijing a look.
Ding Haijing shrugged to indicate he was powerless.
He was trying hard not to burst into laughter.
It seemed being overly favored by the elderly wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
Jiang Xiao took out another box of tea snacks, opened it, and handed it to Old Madam Wei.
"Madam, try some of this tea snack."
Old Madam Wei had no resistance to what Jiang Xiao brought now, picked up a piece, and her eyes lit up immediately.
"Actually, my aunt also wanted me to bring a few boxes of snacks for Madam Cui when I came over."
"Your aunt?"
Old Madam Wei realized who her aunt was, paused for a moment, then said, "Since it’s your aunt’s instructions, let me take you over there. But, Xiao Ding and Xiao Guan, you can’t go. Madam Cui can’t handle seeing so many people at once."
Is it that serious?
Jiang Xiao nodded to Ding Haijing and Guan Tiezhu, signaling them to stay behind.
She supported Old Madam Wei with one hand and carried items with the other, strolling slowly to Madam Cui’s courtyard.
Arriving here, it was noticeably quieter.
"These two rows of houses are unoccupied now just to prevent anyone from disturbing Madam Cui. On that side, there’s never much commotion either. Keep your voice down when you speak later."
Once they reached here, Old Madam Wei lowered her voice significantly.
Jiang Xiao nodded.
Although she heard Li Hanzhong mention it, she didn’t know Madam Cui’s situation was so serious.
"Wait here, I’ll go in first and inform Madam Cui. If she wants to see you, you can come in. If she doesn’t, we’ll head back and I’ll tell you some fun stories about Yixi’s childhood."
Jiang Xiao: "..."
Please, Madam Cui must agree to see her.
"Madam, show this painting to Madam Cui first. If she agrees to see me after looking at it, I’ll go in."
Madam Cui didn’t know who she was now, so entering and announcing herself like this would surely result in refusal.
Jiang Xiao had prepared a painting.
The painting wasn’t very large.
Old Madam Wei nodded and took the painting inside.
Madam Cui was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper, accompanied by a young girl in a nurse’s uniform.
Upon seeing Old Madam Wei enter, the girl bent down and whispered softly to Madam Cui, "Madam, Old Madam Wei is here."
Madam Cui looked up, and Old Madam Wei waved at her gently.
"Why has the elder sister come over?"
Madam Cui’s voice was very gentle, making one’s heart soften and the voice follow suit.
Her gaze was like water, making people feel very comfortable.
"I have a younger family member here today to visit me. Hearing that you were here too, I thought to come by and see you, and said she painted a picture for you to see. So, I brought the painting first, and she’s waiting outside."
"A painting?"
Madam Cui’s gaze fell on the painting in her hand, and she chuckled softly, "I’m no expert in paintings."
"Don’t be modest. Everyone knows you were proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting when you were young," Old Madam Wei laughed. "If it weren’t for the chaotic times back then, you could have easily qualified to be a painting teacher at a university."
Hearing her words, Madam Cui laughed again.
She shook her head and said, "That’s all old history now. I haven’t painted much over the years. Compared to painters today, my work simply doesn’t stand out."
