Chapter 327: Better To Say It First
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Grandmother Sheng was a little tempted, but after thinking about it for a while, she said flatly, “Today won’t do.”
“Mom, are you still angry with me? I know I was wrong. I really know it…” Jiang Xinyi’s sobs rang out from the phone, giving Grandmother Sheng a headache. If this husband-wife pair divorced, Jiang Xinyi would end up drowning in tears. If the media published news of it, it would be tough for her second son. “Alright, alright, you’ve admitted your wrongdoings. I’m not angry with you. I just have plans for today.”
Jiang Xinyi’s eyes flickered. To avoid unnecessary trouble, she must see Grandmother Sheng today no matter what. Otherwise, the longer this dragged on, the worse it would be. “Mom, are you making excuses because you don’t want to see me?”
“What are you talking about?” Grandmother Sheng’s tone seemed to be a little uncertain as she said, “I’m going to play mahjong with Mrs. Ding and the others at home.”
“Oh, I see…” Jiang Xinyi sobbed again. “In that case, I won’t disturb you.”
With that, she hung up the phone.
The car had stopped at the entrance of the old Sheng family’s residence. The driver turned and looked at her. “Madam, shall we turn back now?”
There were no tears in Jiang Xinyi’s eyes now. She said expressionlessly, “Just stop at the door and wait.”
“Yes, Madam.”
After a while, the door of the house opened and Jiang Xinyi saw Grandmother Sheng walking out with a bag and a small gift in her hand. She smiled and got into the car.
Jiang Xinyi’s gaze was deep. She pursed her lips and thought for a while before pointing at the car in front of her. “Follow her.”
“Yes!”
After driving for a while, they stopped.
Jiang Xinyi’s driver was quite capable. He followed the car ahead very well and parked in a concealed spot. Grandmother Sheng didn’t notice him at all and slowly got out of the car.
This place was very familiar. Jiang Xinyi sat in the car, trembling with anger.
Grandmother Sheng walked to the door, pressed the doorbell, and the door opened. It was Kang Weizhen.
She didn’t smile as much as Jiang Xinyi nor did she fawn over Grandmother Sheng. She was neither servile nor overbearing, only polite.
Grandmother Sheng entered with the gift in hand, calling out as she walked, “Dennis, Dennis…”
The corners of Kang Weizhen’s mouth twitched. She didn’t expect the old lady to come to her house bearing gifts.
Jiang Xinyi, who was a distance away, couldn’t hear what Grandmother Sheng said at all. She could only see Grandmother Sheng looking at Kang Weizhen shyly. It seemed that Grandmother Sheng had been coming here very frequently lately.
Jiang Xinyi’s whole body shook as she panted heavily. Even the driver turned around and looked at Jiang Xinyi worriedly, but Jiang Xinyi just ignored him. Her chest heaved violently, and she was immersed in her own thoughts.
She had worked so hard for almost 20 years to keep a low profile, only to have such an outcome.
Why?

In Class 1.
Lou Shu hesitated but still mustered up the courage to walk up to Sheng Yue. Sheng Yue was in a bad mood now, and when she saw Lou Shu coming over, she just glanced at her coldly.
Lou Shu took a deep breath. “Sheng Yue, we can’t be friends anymore.”
“Hmph.” Sheng Yue lazily raised her gaze. “You make it sound as if I want to be your friend. Lou Shu, you’re just a pushover.. Now you’re even kicking me when I’m down. I finally know why some people say that times like this show whether your friends are true friends…”
