Chapter 674: Chapter 675: Used a Little Trick
ng Xinian interrupted him and said, “You don’t need to shout about it, your granddaughter-in-law is quite sothing. What’s that cake they bring? It’s nothing compared to the desserts she’ll make. They’ll be much better than anything bought from outside—clean, hygienic, and made with top-quality ingredients. By the ti you want to eat, you’ll have more than enough, won’t you?”
“It’s not that I’ve forgotten my granddaughter-in-law, but I haven’t even t her yet. I asked you to bring her over for
to see, but you wouldn’t listen! When you were getting engaged, you didn’t even ntion it—you quietly settled the engagent. Do you even care about your grandfather at all?”
Du Jinruo had been sitting on the sofa for quite a while, but she didn’t feel impatient because she knew that Old ng’s call was to ng Xinian. She thought it would be good for ng Xinian to know about her presence.
However, she only heard one sentence where Old ng scolded ng Xinian; she didn’t catch anything else. She had wanted to hear what Old ng would say about her, but to her surprise, his voice was very low.
After thinking it over, she stood up and walked toward Old ng, saying with a smile brimming with warmth, “Grandpa, is that Captain ng on the phone? May I speak with him for a mont?”
ng Xinian had just heard the conversation from Old ng that had stirred his thoughts, planning when to have Chiang Xiao et Old ng. But when he heard a female voice on the other end of the phone, his heart filled with annoyance.
Old ng had a good impression of Du Jinruo. Hearing her call him “Grandpa” made him very happy. The house had always been cold and empty, or rather icy cold, and since ng Xinian hardly returned, his residence couldn’t be lonelier. Suddenly, seeing a pretty girl smiling with sunshine in her eyes calling him “Grandpa,” Old ng felt as if a ray of sunlight had shone into the house, instantly brightening everything up.
So, without much thought and joyfully answering her, he said, “Alright, alright, alright, Xiao Du, you’re about the sa age as our Xinian boy, and you’ve grown up together. I think you don’t have to call him Captain ng, which sounds so distant. Just call him ‘Brother Xinian,’ and co over more often!”
After speaking, he passed the handset to Du Jinruo.
Images of ng Xinian’s handso and masculine face popped into Du Jinruo’s mind, causing her heart to flutter.
But when she thought of the incident that occurred in G Province Xinying District, she felt a hint of embarrassnt and annoyance.
Back then, her emotions really were like a rollercoaster ride. She initially thought ng Xinian had really accepted Gao Wei’s challenge. Gao Wei’s behavior infuriated and disgusted her, yet she was delighted that ng Xinian had agreed to the duel, her heart pounding excitedly.
However, when they went out and couldn’t find him, she learned that he intended to leave, and he was nowhere to be found.
At that mont, Du Jinruo felt a profound sense of disappointnt and loss.
The more she thought about it, the more she couldn’t let it go, feeling that ng Xinian was just as detestable as when he was a child. She left him a letter condemning him and ntioning so unresolved issues between them. She had thought that ng Xinian would at least contact her or even argue back but to her surprise, there was no follow-up from him.
After returning to Capital City, Du Jinruo dreamt of ng Xinian every night, imagining him sitting among a group of Supervisor Guards, dazzlingly prominent to the point where one couldn’t look away.
He was sowhat cold, but it was that very aloofness that made her unable to forget him.
That’s why she ca to the ng Family ho.
Father ng and his wife were not around, which actually was a bit of cunning on her part.
