The old Lady Bao watched the young girl eagerly, the smile on her lips gradually froze, and her deeply sunken eyes took on a hint of distraction at this moment. Housekeeper Liu naturally noticed that the old Lady Bao was losing focus, so he quickly stepped forward, pulling out a kind smile on his face, "Miss Shu, when you squat for too long, your legs can become numb, perhaps you should sit down and chat with the old lady?" Shu Tingting, anxious for an answer, hadn’t noticed that her foot had already gone numb. Now reminded, she frowned and said, "Oh, it really is numb." She quickly held onto a chair beside her, and seeing this, Housekeeper Liu hurried forward to help. Once Shu Tingting was back in her seat, Housekeeper Liu returned to his original position. The old Lady Bao was also brought back to her senses by the scene, knowing the girl’s temper well, she knew that without receiving an answer today, she likely wouldn’t leave. The old Lady Bao, with a kindly gaze, asked a question in return, "Tingting, what do you like about Ajin?" Shu Tingting never expected the old Lady Bao to ask so straightforwardly, feeling her cheeks warm, and her bright eyes shimmered. "Brother Bao is very handsome, and he’s not as obsessed with women as the male friends around me." Shu Tingting stumbled over two points, then a hint of confusion crossed her face, as if she thought of something, and she happily said, "Anyway, every time I see him, my heart beats fast. I know this is liking because I don’t feel this way about other men." Shu Tingting’s words were easy to understand, and having been young once, the old Lady Bao naturally understood this feeling she described. The young girl’s liking was still at a superficial level for the time being, not yet mired deeply. The old Lady Bao’s eyelids drooped gloomily. Initially, she had been quite willing for her eldest grandson and the young girl to be together, even creating opportunities for them. However, at Shaojin’s birthday banquet, her grandson showed no interest in the young girl, ignoring her completely, which dispelled her thoughts. "Then let me ask you, if you truly married him, could you bear him not loving you?" the old Lady Bao asked seriously. "Not love me? How could that be?" Shu Tingting blurted out without thinking. The old Lady Bao said in a deep voice, "Ajin is a cold-hearted person, he spends most of his time on work. Trying to get him to focus on matters of affection is as hard as ascending to heaven." "But, but we could get married first, and maybe after some time, he would develop feelings for me?" Shu Tingting persisted unwillingly. "Girl, don’t deceive yourself." The old Lady Bao looked at the young girl’s dejected face and couldn’t bear to deceive her. "So can Lin Lin accept Brother Bao not liking her?" Shu Tingting’s pupils widened in disbelief. In her eyes, Lin Lin had always been proud and arrogant, as if everything in the world was within her reach. Although they were in the same circle, Shu Tingting couldn’t tolerate her arrogance at all. "Of course." The old Lady Bao raised her eyelids, her face showing a bit of coldness. Women like Lin Lin have ambition and clearly know what they want. In the depths of Lady Bao’s heart, she actually favored granddaughters-in-law of Lin Lin’s type more, after all, an excellent partner could become a support for her grandson. As for those who couldn’t even take care of themselves, who were petty, the old Lady Bao looked down on them! Thinking of this, the old Lady Bao remembered someone, and her face turned a little colder. The old Lady Bao and Shu Tingting, each with different thoughts. The silence in the air lasted for a while. Shu Tingting stood up unhappily, "Grandma Bao, I know what to do now." She did like Brother Bao and wanted to marry him; however, if she couldn’t receive an equal response, then this liking became quite cheap. "Good child, you will find someone who understands each other well in the future. At that time, I will definitely give you a great gift." The old Lady Bao sincerely blessed her. "Thank you, Grandma Bao." Shu Tingting murmured dispiritedly. Her love had ended before it even began. The old Lady Bao looked at the young girl’s disheartened appearance, knowing that no amount of comfort would help, only time could diminish the young girl’s affection. Perhaps hit by the blow, the young girl exchanged a few pleasantries and then left. Housekeeper Liu saw her out of the door, and when he returned to the hall, he saw the old Lady Bao sitting there, lost in thought. Google seaʀᴄh 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 "Madam," Housekeeper Liu stepped forward. "Did she end up in tears?" The old Lady Bao’s temples were gradually graying, and a trace of sadness flitted across her wrinkled, prominent cheekbones face. "She cried when she got into the car." Housekeeper Liu reported truthfully. "Ah..." The old Lady Bao sighed deeply, "Tingting is a simple-minded kid, pure-hearted, and I actually quite liked the idea of her marrying into the family, but she’s not suitable for Ajin. If it were A Xun..." "Madam..." Housekeeper Liu interrupted her abruptly, stopping her from finishing her sentence. The old Lady Bao’s face stiffened, realizing she misspoke. She lowered her head, her hands clenched into fists, and she struck the armrest forcefully, "None of them make me worry-free. I thought Ajin was the most obedient, but unexpectedly, a university student appeared, infatuating him." With that, the old Lady Bao’s face showed a ruthless expression, "Madam, please take care of your health." Housekeeper Liu immediately stepped forward to console her, seeing her emotions fluctuating so fiercely. The old Lady Bao glared at Housekeeper Liu, and his hunched back bent a bit more. "I just told Tingting, Ajin is cold-hearted, that’s what I thought." The old Lady Bao let out a self-deprecating laugh, the wrinkles on her forehead deepening, "But according to my recent observations, he seems less and less like the Ajin I meticulously cultivated." Her words were not easy to comprehend. Housekeeper Liu, however, understood the deeper meaning. "The young master has grown and has his own ideas." Housekeeper Liu replied appropriately. Having been with the old Lady Bao for many years, he knew how strong her need for control was. Thinking of the second young master, Bao Xun, a look of deep pain gradually spread across Housekeeper Liu’s face. He only hoped that some things wouldn’t repeat themselves on the eldest young master. "Zhenxing, are you speaking up for Ajin?" The old Lady Bao shot him a sharp look, her eyes icy. "I wouldn’t dare." Housekeeper Liu bowed and took two steps back. "Last time I asked you to take the young lady Lin to Ajin’s, what did you see? Don’t think I don’t know." The old Lady Bao stared coldly at the man in front of her. Having spent almost his whole life by her side, Housekeeper Liu was somewhat special to her, so regarding some of his actions, the old Lady Bao chose to turn a blind eye. Housekeeper Liu attempted to explain, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted. "Since I didn’t pursue it then, the matter is over now." Her words were firm and powerful, both a warning and a deterrent.
