Zhan Yue said, “Accompanying Grandma for a check-up, I have plenty of time. Even Big Brother and the others couldn’t say anything about it.”
“Eldest Sister-in-Law has to work, manage all the affairs of our resort, and look after the precious brother-and-sister pair. She’s busy enough already. Grandma, don’t trouble her. Let me accompany you.”
The old lady said, “If you’re free, then you can accompany me. We won’t trouble your sister-in-law. Tongtong is indeed very busy.”
The young mistress of the house had far too many matters to handle, and Hai Tong also had her own career.
If it weren’t for the children’s upbringing, she wouldn’t need to leave early and return late every day.
“Then I’ll register an appointment for Grandma with Xiaoya right now.”
“No need for you to register. I’ve already done it long ago. If I waited for you to do it now, how could I get a good slot? Xiaoya’s morning appointments are all fully booked. There are still some in the afternoon, though.”
“I’m going under the banner of a check-up. How could I book an afternoon slot? I’d starve to death.”
The old lady couldn’t hold out that long.
She was old now and couldn’t bear hunger.
Zhan Yue laughed. “Grandma thinks of everything.”
This way, Zeng Xiaoya wouldn’t suspect anything.
It was perfectly normal for an elderly person to visit the hospital for checks from time to time.
“Grandma, my love rival asked me for a chat tonight.”
The old lady’s interest was immediately piqued. She asked, “What did you talk about? Did you argue? Did you fight? When dealing with a love rival, you don’t need to hold back.”
Zhan Yue: “……”
Grandma truly was a gossip enthusiast. For the sake of gossip, she stayed at his place every night and even waited up until late for him to return.
All just to hear the latest, first-hand updates on his pursuit of a wife.
“Laoba, hurry up and tell me. Oh dear, you’re killing me with suspense. Don’t leave it hanging here.”
Seeing Zhan Yue’s speechless expression, the old lady grew anxious and urged him to speak quickly.
Zhan Yue said with amusement, “Grandma, you really are too idle. Staying up so late just to hear this.”
“Fine, fine, I’ll tell you. It wasn’t much. It all revolved around Xiaoya, as usual. That love rival of mine has always thought I’m an unemployed loafer, that I’m one of those who live off my brother and sister-in-law.”
“Because he once saw my sister-in-law ask me to help collect rent, he assumed I specialise in collecting rent for her and that everything I have comes from her.”
“He said I’m not worthy of Xiaoya, that I can’t give her happiness, and told me to give up that idea as soon as possible.”
The old lady laughed. “He doesn’t know you’re my family’s Laoba.”
“He doesn’t. I don’t flaunt my identity. I keep a low profile. I’ve always been humble and low-key.”
He had merely been born luckier than others, reincarnated into the Zhan family as a young master.
He already had far more than most people. If he didn’t keep a low profile and went around showing off, wouldn’t that make people dislike him?
All the brothers in their family kept low profiles.
Even Big Brother’s high profile had been forced upon him.
In the past, too many infatuated girls liked Big Brother, so he had no choice but to go out with a team of bodyguards.
“I told him that he’s the one who should withdraw. Xiaoya doesn’t love him, and that’s that. If she loved him, she would have fallen for him long ago. She wouldn’t have waited until now. That made him furious.”
“Besides, he spent a night with that little nurse surnamed He from his clinic. Whether anything happened or not, I don’t know, but it’s a fact that Nurse He stayed overnight at his place.”
He had people keeping an eye on Doctor Lin. He knew every move Doctor Lin made.
A love rival, after all. One had to know what the opponent was doing in order to defeat him.
