Chapter 326: Have Your Back

If there were a ‘words could kill competition’, no one would dare fight for first place with Auntie Lan.

Mai Qi and I gripped each other’s hands to stop the other from laughing out loud.

The domineering presence on Old Master Jing dissolved completely. He walked over with an embarrassed smile. “When did you come back? Didn’t you say you were cultivating new breeds of orchid in the greenhouse? You’re done?”

As he spoke, he placed his hand on Auntie Lan’s shoulder.

Auntie Lan shook her shoulder and knocked Old Master Jing’s hand back. She rolled her eyes at him. “Breeding orchids? While I was gardening, you took the advantage to offend my guests! You even wanted to chase away my Jing Ni. Jeng De, I’m telling you. I’ve taken a liking to Jing Ni. None of you from the Jing Family is allowed to bully her anymore!

“That Jing Tian is so unreliable. I don’t know when he’ll be able to marry and if I’ll be alive to see a grandchild. Therefore, I will look after this granddaughter for now. The girl is pretty, and her personality matches mine. From now on, I will look after her. From her marriage to her childbirth, I will always be there! I’ll see who dares to stop me!”

Naturally, no one dared to stop her.

Old Master Jing quickly placated her. “Good, good. Among the children, Jing Ni has the best temperament. She shall stay by your side so that you won’t be lonely anymore.”

His face had already blossomed into a smile.

Auntie Lan ignored him and pulled Jing Ni to her side. “Girl, you need to learn to be more self-sufficient. Pick up some tricks from Nanxing and see who dares to bully you in the future! Your mind also needs to work faster so you won’t fall for other people’s schemes!” Then Auntie Lan turned to me and said, “Nanxing, you have to help Jing Ni whenever you can, okay?”

I smiled, “Auntie Lan, aren’t you afraid that I might teach her the wrong thing? After all, Ni Ni is quite naive.”

Auntie Lan huffed, “You dare? I’ll skin you alive if you do!” Then she saw Mai Qi, and her eyes lit up. “Wow, who is this girl? She’s even prettier than our Jing Ni and Nanxing.”

I hurriedly introduced Mai Qi to Auntie Lan.

Auntie Lan let go of Jing Ni and held Mai Qi’s hand. She clicked her tongue and praised, “What a beautiful little girl! You’re Jing Ni and Nan Xing’s friend, so you are always welcome here! I appreciate beautiful, kind, and lovely companions!”

Since Auntie Lan appeared, Old Master Jing only had eyes for her. Since Auntie Lan liked the three of us, he looked at us with a smile. His hostility had disappeared completely. He even looked at me smilingly and said, “Yes, you have to come often. Tell me what your favorite food is. I’ll have the housekeeper prepare them!”

I was flabbergasted. This was the head of the Jing family who opposed Jing Tian and me being together? Or had I transmigrated to another person than Nanxing?

Could this senior had less of a principle? Or was his wife his life’s principle?

Only then did I realize love could be so blind. I suddenly felt a deep respect for the love between this senior couple.

Jing Ning and Jing Yan quickly came over and to greet Auntie Lan. They were trying their best to hold back their annoyance.

“Grandma Lan” was how they addressed her.

Auntie Lan sized up the brother and sister. Her tone became frosty. “I’ve heard good things about you two. However, what you had people tell me last time didn’t seem to be that accurate.”

Both of them were taken aback. Jing Yan asked carefully, “Grandma Lan, what is it?”

Auntie Lan said, “You said Nanxing is a vixen who is seducing Jing Tian? How come I don’t see that at all?”

Jing Ning and Jing Yan’s faces turned livid.

I looked at them calmly.

Old Master Jing coughed lightly. “Ah Lan, that is just a joke between children. How can we take it seriously?”
