CHAPTER 372: CHAPTER 373: FIRST RETURN TO THE TANG FAMILY

Bai Yuejie felt that Uncle Liu thought too ill of human nature.

She knew exactly what kind of person Shi Lingyan was.

He wasn’t as cunning as Uncle Liu imagined. On the contrary, although he wasn’t very enthusiastic towards her, she knew he was a very good and warm person.

However, facing Uncle Liu’s words, Bai Yuejie just nodded and said, "Okay."

Uncle Liu looked at the girl he had raised with his own hands, and felt somewhat bitter.

Sure enough, girls were not easy to raise; her whole heart had been hooked away by a man.

He had to come up with another plan.

-

Grandma Shi’s travel plans were already well thought out, and she had strictly restricted Shi Mei’s freedom these past few days, not letting her step out at all.

After all, some things became terribly frightening upon closer thought. If something happened while she was out again, it would be disastrous.

And today, Grandma Shi got up early to tidy up her clothes and appearance and even asked Aunt Chen to help prepare some gifts for the visit.

Shi Mei leaned in and asked, "Grandma, where are you going?"

"I’m going to visit some friends," Grandma Shi was putting on her shoes and without looking up, she said, "I haven’t seen Granny Tang for a long time. I’m going to visit her, and I heard she composed a new piece of music recently, I’m going to listen to it."

Granny Tang.

Shi Mei’s heart trembled slightly, and then she was a bit excited, "Are you going to Granny Tang’s house?"

"Yes," Grandma Shi saw Shi Mei’s reaction, "Do you still remember Granny Tang?"

"Of course! Such a kind and dear grandma, I want to go too," Shi Mei pleaded with Grandma Shi, "Shi Mei wants to go too, can you take me with you?"

"No, just stay at home."

"Whine, whine, whine, but I want to go, Granny Tang is so nice, I like Granny Tang."

Grandma Shi’s old face turned and she glared at her, "Do you like me or do you like Granny Tang more?"

Shi Mei seemed stumped, her little face troubled. She said, "I like both, but the way I like you and Granny Tang is different!"

"Little smart aleck," Grandma Shi laughed heartily, "It’s not that I don’t want to take you. It’s just that your status with the Tang Family isn’t quite suitable, so I won’t take you."

"Why?" Shi Mei pouted, "Why is my status not suitable with the Tang Family!"

"Their granddaughter is Tang Wu; she is your husband’s ex. What would it look like if I brought you along?" Grandma Shi patted her head, "Enough, stop fussing and just stay at home."

Shi Mei burst into tears with a ’waah’, "I want to go, I have to go, I like Granny Tang and Grandpa Tang, I don’t care about being unsuitable!"

Grandma Shi had somewhat of a headache, "Let’s play a game then. If you win, I’ll take you with me."

Shi Mei sniffled and looked at her.

"We’ll play hide and seek. I’ll go hide, and if you find me, I’ll take you with me. How about that?"

Shi Mei almost rolled her eyes at her.

This trick for fooling children, she had used it to her advantage when she was a kid, bullying Tang Jingming. When she didn’t want to play with him, she would use this tactic; it never failed.

Shi Mei pursed her lips and shouted, "That’s a lie. Last time my husband said the same thing and then he didn’t come back for many days!"

Old Mrs. Shi: "..."

This little rascal, doesn’t he leave any way out for others!

Shi Mei pitifully hugged Grandma Shi’s legs and cried out, "Shi Mei will be good and quiet. Please take me with you, won’t you?"

Grandma Shi looked down and saw Shi Mei’s dark, moist eyes. Her heart nearly melted.

Seeing her pitiful state, she finally relented, "Alright then."

Shi Mei cheered, jumping up, "Then you can’t run away first, okay? I’m going to pack my little bag!"
