Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit Chapter 554 - 547: Concentrated Outbreak (Part 6)

Xia Lian stood in the bathroom, standing in front of the mirror. Looking at her reflection, clearly aged and ashen to the point of being unrecognizable, her heart was filled with indescribable sorrow.

She reached out to wipe away the condensation on the mirror and felt montarily lost. Then tears fell again; how had she ended up like this!

Xia Lian clutched her heart, squatting on the floor, holding her head and crying bitterly.

When Xia Lian ca out of the bathroom, Grandma had already tidied up the entire house inside and out. Turning around to see Xia Lian, who was also cleaned up, she showed her first smile since entering the house.

"A woman should pamper and dress up herself!" Grandma pointed at herself, "Look at , at my age, I still know how to groom myself, buying a piece of clothing now and then. You’re still young, why don’t you cherish yourself? If you don’t appreciate yourself, who will?"

Grandma still thought Xia Lian looked this way due to a conflict with Cheng Gang, focused on teaching Xia Lian how to win back a man’s heart.

"You and Cheng Gang have been together forever; don’t act like kids every day. I’m old and can’t take your drama!" Grandma poured herself a glass of water, sitting on the sofa in the living room, "Besides, you still have Shishi..."

Upon hearing Shishi’s na, Xia Lian’s body trembled violently.

Grandma didn’t notice anything unusual and continued, "Even if you don’t think about yourself, think about Cheng Shishi! She will marry one day, and if you keep this up, won’t it make it hard for Shishi to hold her head high at her in-laws?"

"Haha... marriage... in-laws..." Xia Lian muttered softly, her eyes resting on the living photographs of Shishi on the sofa.

"Of course!" Grandma took a sip of water, glanced at the photo of Cheng Shishi on the sofa, and picked it up, "Tsk tsk! Look how pretty our Shishi is! In the future, let Yiran and Yichen find her a good job, then a good match! Her life will be worry-free, and you can enjoy it! At this age, why all the fuss!"

Xia Lian stood across from Grandma, her head lowered. Grandma couldn’t see her expression but could tell her body was trembling. She thought Xia Lian felt wronged because of quarreling with Cheng Gang, now unable to hold back her tears after hearing what she said.

"Enough! Stop crying! Doesn’t becoming the laughingstock bother you at your age?" Grandma put down the photo of Cheng Shishi, "Rest assured, as long as I’m here, I won’t let you and Cheng Gang divorce, but you shouldn’t cause too much trouble. Don’t make a fuss like last ti, when the whole house was in turmoil!"

Xia Lian said nothing, rely pursing her lips, slowly clenching her hands, striving to control her emotions.

"What are you standing there foolishly for? Go call Cheng Gang, tell him I’m back, and have him co ho for dinner tonight!" Grandma thought she could take the opportunity to diate between the couple that evening. "Oh, and call Shishi, tell her to co ho early! This girl is so ungrateful, not visiting her grandma for so long, and not even answering my calls! What a waste of love, a total ungrateful brat! Nothing like Yiran, who is out playing all day!"

Grandma complained casually, not noticing Xia Lian’s reddened eyes.

"Who are you calling an ungrateful brat!"

Xia Lian suddenly shouted, startling Grandma. Looking up, she saw Xia Lian glaring at her with a savage expression.

"What are you doing! Trying to scare to death!"

"It would be better if you were scared to death!" Xia Lian angrily pushed the vase off the cabinet beside her.

With a crash, the vase shattered into a myriad of pieces on the floor.

"You only ever see Bai Yiran! What do you take my Shishi for!"

Xia Lian strode towards Grandma, glaring at the old woman in front of her with bloodshot eyes.
