Fake Marriage To The Richest Tycoon-Chapter 58: The jade bangle

Sensing a fight, Shentu Mingye quickly interrupted.

"Everyone calm down. Eat as much as you like! We have lots of food, right? Besides, no one is scolding or blaming anyone for anything. Sister in law, yesterday you were really awesome! You even wanted to drink grandpa’s legs!" Shentu Mingye chuckled to ease the tension.

Qin Zhuzhu heard that and almost spat out blood.

"What?! Drink grandpa’s legs? Is that even possible?!"

Then she realized that she said that out loud.

"And you even hugged grandpa. I thought you might marry my grandpa instead of my brother!" Shentu Chu laughed.

Was there no end to the embarrassing things she did last night? Qin Zhuzhu went red in the face.

She wanted to hide her face in the soil but there were only her hands to cover her face.

Shentu Jing was caught in a dilemma. Would his grandpa throw her out instead? Little Pearl didn’t have the qualifications to become his granddaughter in law, especially not after what happened last night.

Old master Shentu’s eyes caught on the exquisite jade bangle on her wrists. The jade was authentic, smooth and made by a jade expert. It glowed in the sunlight and looked ethereal. Immediately old master Shentu knew of the origins of this jade.

Old master Shentu’s eyes flickered with strange emotions before turning back to their usual aloof and calm expression.

That jade..... Many years ago, he remembered that he only gave it to one person. He couldn’t be mistaken. There was only one of this jade in the world. And this little girl was wearing it!

Qin Zhuzhu felt a hand on her wrist. She looked up and saw the old man gently push her hands to the side to get a close look at her face.

"Grandpa.... Sir..... I....." Why was it so hard to explain?!

"What’s your surname?" Instead, the old man asked a question that was unrelated. The whole family couldn’t understand his behaviour.

Oh, she was in big trouble. She just offended a powerful figure. She knew that Shentu Jing was rich and so was his family.. That means his grandfather must have been even more rich and powerful since everyone in the family was afraid of him.

"Qin Zhuzhu," she said, unsure of what was about to happen. The way the old man looked at her was scary.

Jiang Zhaoling watched the drama with crossed arms.

Shentu Dong looked like he could drop to his knees anytime.

"Qin Zhuzhu? The daughter of the Qin family in Sichuan?" Old master Shentu asked again. There was no hint of anger in his voice.

"Yes. But my family moved to Shengjing when I was young so I grew up here," Qin Zhuzhu told the truth.

"What’s your mother’s name?" Old master Shentu’s voice quivered slightly.

"Song Ping,"

Shentu Jing, on the other hand, thought that his grandfather saw through his trick. He was ready to plead with him to let little Pearl go. It was him who lied to him about the fiancée thing. It has nothing to do with Little Pearl. Why was he so willing to protect this girl?

Grandpa must have investigated her! Grandpa must have thought that because she is a divorcee, she is not fit to be my wife. He thought. But deep in his heart, he only wanted Little Pearl as his wife, and no one else. Shentu Jing quickly stood up.

"Grandpa! This is all my fault! I didn’t-" Shentu Jing stopped when he saw the old man smiling at him teasingly. What was going on? He didn’t understand. Wasn’t grandpa going to kick her out?

"Rotten brat, this is the first time I’ve seen you willing to admit your mistake for a girl," old master Shentu glared at him.

"Tell me, little girl. Do you like my grandson?" Old master Shentu was serious. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Qin Zhuzhu felt her tongue was stiff. Was this a trick question or what? Since she and Stinky Jing were supposedly engaged and lovers, it was shown that they liked each other.

This old man is smart. He must have figured out something, Qin Zhuzhu decided to tell the truth.

"He’s not that bad," she sipped her juice.

Shentu Dong wanted to bury himself in the ground. Doesn’t this dumb girl understand what the old man is trying to say?

Qin Zhuzhu seemed to not care a thing. She was calm and collected. If his grandpa disagrees with her being his fiancée, then fine. After all, it was just an agreement. But why did her heart feel a bit reluctant all of sudden?

Shentu Jing went silent. Qin Zhuzhu looked at him and saw the concern on his face. He really cared for her? So it seems like she had fallen into a trap....

"Grandpa, I...."

"I didn’t say you were allowed to speak!" Old master Shentu snapped at Shentu Jing.

At that moment, a new person entered the dining room. Qin Zhuzhu turned to look and tears swarmed in her eyes. Jiang Wubai arrived behind, carrying some shopping bags.

"Mom!" Qin Zhuzhu forgot about the tension from earlier and rushed forward and hugged her mother tightly. She missed her mother greatly.

"Xiaozhu!" Song Ping hugged her back and smothered her hair. After a while of sharing hugs and tears in each other’s arms, Song Ping moved back a bit to get a good look at her daughter.

"They said he’s your fiancé. Zhuzhu, tell me the truth, what happened with Xu Meng?" Song Ping pointed at Shentu Jing.

Qin Zhuzhu felt her tongue go stiff. Song Ping glared at Shentu Jing and Jiang Wubai.

"I.... I..... Xu Meng and I are....." she took a deep breath before collecting herself. Song Ping’s expression was hard to read.

Shentu Jing didn’t say a thing. Maybe she should tell her mother once and for all that she already divorced Xu Meng and was no longer part of the Xu family.

"We’re divorced," Qin Zhuzhu gathered her courage and finally dropped the bomb.

Old master Shentu was stunned by Song Ping’s arrival. Slowly he got up, clutching his cane tighter.
