70 I Like You
Hearing Le Yan secretly criticizing her for being too reckless and making the two old folks worried, Le Wan glanced at her from the corner of her eyes and pretended not to notice it. She continued to talk to the two of them,
“In fact, that man had a hard life. His only hope in life was his daughter. In the end, his daughter suddenly fell seriously ill and he didn’t have the money to treat her. When he went to borrow money from people everywhere, he heard a lot of bad things. He was also incited by others, saying that the hospital was all about money and that no one would treat you if you didn’t give the doctor red packets. So, in a moment of anger, he went the wrong way.”
When Old Madam Le heard her words, her heart softened but she still insisted,
“Even so, you shouldn’t vent your anger on innocent people.”
“But he still went to donate a kidney,” she added. “He’s a grateful person, so he’s not too bad.”
On the other hand, Grandpa Le’s focus had completely shifted to other things. While Mama Le was taking Grandma Le to see the soup that was being cooked tonight, Grandpa Le pulled Le Wan to the side and asked her quietly,
“What’s your relationship with your male classmate? Why are you so concerned about him?” She was so attentive that even an outsider could tell that she was trying to repay him.
“Didn’t you tell me righteously a few days ago that you only want to study and not be involved in dating?” Grandpa Le puffed up his cheeks and glared at her with dissatisfaction.
“So you’re saying that I’m annoying and you’re just trying to stall an old man like me, right?”
“Grandpa, what are you thinking? I’m telling the truth, I’m not patronizing you.”
“Grandpa, did you forget that I told you not to do anything at the beginning?” Le Wan quickly explained.
“Is there? I didn’t hear it. You didn’t tell me.” Old Master Le denied it, looking like a child who was being shameless. It could only be said that he had really become an old child. The older he was, the more his temper was like a child’s.
“Didn’t I say that? I might have forgotten.” Le Wan did not argue with him.
“Anyway, I just want to study hard and get good grades so that you and grandma will be proud of me. Didn’t you already say it? Then, whose granddaughter is so outstanding? when I get into a good university on my own, you can take my notice and slap it in their faces, showing it off to them.”
However, Old Master Le was not fooled. He shrewdly asked,
“So what’s going on between you and that kid?”
Le Wan could only play dumb.
“Nothing much. I just paid him to tutor me, and he did it to earn money.”
Master Le was not satisfied with the answer and asked directly,
“Do you like him?”
Le Wan choked and pondered for a while. Then, she clenched her fingers and said embarrassedly,
“I think I like him.”
At the very least, in this world, other than her family, there were only two people of the opposite sex that she was closest to. One was Le Xuan, and the other was him.
As for Le Xuan, he was just a little brother. In her eyes, he was a friend, but also a little brother.
Zhai Jing’s case was different. First of all, she had to admit that Zhai Jing’s appearance was very much in line with her aesthetic. If she had not lived for a few more years and experienced more things, she would not have been able to hold back when such beauty was in front of her. Even so, she had to admit that she had secretly harbored lustful thoughts toward Zhai Jing a few times.
At the thought of this, Le Wan couldn’t help but blush.
When Grandpa Le saw her, how could he not know? He slammed the table.
“Since you like him, what are you waiting for? If you like someone, just do it directly, approach them first.”
Le Wan was speechless.
“Grandpa, were you also this bold and unreasonable when you were chasing grandma back then?”
“He’s a coward, don’t listen to his nonsense.”
When Grandma Le came out of the kitchen, she saw the grandfather and granddaughter mumbling to each other. She walked over out of curiosity and eavesdropped on them. As a result, she heard Grandpa Le’s bold words and directly exposed him.
“Then, how did Grandpa manage to win your heart when you were so pretty?” asked Le Wan.
After failing to find out more, Old Master Le, who had been exposed, quickly retorted,
“Weren’t we talking about that kid? Why are you bringing me into this?”
Then, he looked at Le Wan, who was smiling slyly. He tapped her forehead helplessly.
“You little rascal.”
At this time, the protagonist of their discussion had just come out of Dahong Corporation and was waiting for a bus at the bus stop.
He pressed on his backpack, which had turned white from washing, and there was a check from Ren Rong inside.
