Chapter 1137: Chapter 1137: Could Die at Any Moment (8)
"Of course, to avoid your grandfather’s..."
Qin Qiong explained, but before he could finish, Shu Lang kicked him in the rear. Qin Qiong quickly dodged, and after dodging, he didn’t continue to explain. He just gave Ruan Jiaojiao a mischievous smile, and Ruan Jiaojiao immediately understood.
She was curious why her uncle came to her house at this time, turns out he was here to escape the matchmaking.
"Ahem ahem..." Shu Lang coughed awkwardly twice, then faced everyone’s eyes and said, "Well, I was just passing by, so I came to see you. Don’t overthink it."
A typical case of protesting too much.
Ruan Jiaojiao smiled understandingly, not pressing the issue further.
Ruanlin Family chatted for a while, and seeing the time was getting late, went to prepare lunch. As soon as she left, the phone in the living room rang, and Ruan Jiaojiao was sitting right beside it, so she picked it up immediately.
"Hello? Who is this?"
"Sweet Jiaojiao, it’s Grandpa." On the other end, Grandpa Shu’s voice was as strong as ever, not at all like an elderly person’s.
"Grandpa." Ruan Jiaojiao immediately called sweetly, and glancing to the side, saw Shu Lang stiffen for a moment, then continue talking to Ruan Jianguo as if nothing had happened.
Ruan Jiaojiao couldn’t help but laugh. Engaging in "I miss you, do you miss me" exchanges with Grandpa Shu for a while, she then heard Grandpa Shu asking, "Jiaojiao, is your uncle at your house?"
"Yes." Ruan Jiaojiao twirled the phone cord and looked at Shu Lang again. This time, Shu Lang seemed to sense it and had already lifted his rear from the sofa, but before he could run, the phone receiver was thrust into his hand.
Grandpa Shu shouted with such vigor that the entire house could hear, "You think you can avoid it? Let me tell you, forget about it. I’ve already arranged to meet the Gu Family’s girl this Saturday at the department store."
"No, Dad, I’m at my brother-in-law’s now, how can I make it back in time?" Shu Lang feigned a troubled tone, but wore a smug smile on his face. Even if he took the train back today, he wouldn’t make it in time.
"You think I don’t know what you’re thinking? Well, guess what? The Gu Family’s girl went to the mountains near your brother-in-law’s for a project to aid poor areas a few years ago." Grandpa Shu, being who he is, immediately threw a bomb at Shu Lang upon hearing this.
"..." Shu Lang’s smile gradually disappeared.
Grandpa Shu continued praising the Gu Family’s girl, saying how great, fashionable, and pretty she is. Most importantly, she’s a teacher like Shu Jiao.
"..." Shu Lang.
If there’s a word to describe his expression now, it would be hopeless.
After repeatedly reminding Shu Lang about the meeting place for the matchmaking, he then asked him to pass the phone to Ruan Jiaojiao, wanting to chat with her. However, Ruan Jiaojiao was applying medicine to her leg.
Shu Lang, holding back his complaints, deliberately lied, "Jiaojiao said she doesn’t want to answer your call anymore, please hang up, the phone bills are expensive."
"Are you looking for trouble?" Grandpa Shu shouted on the other end.
Ruan Jiaojiao quickly snatched the phone back and explained, "Grandpa, Jiaojiao is applying medicine, not refusing to take the call."
"Medicine? What medicine, Jiaojiao, what’s wrong? Are you hurt?" Grandpa Shu asked worriedly from the other end.
