Chapter 212 - 211: Late Is an Embarrassment-II

"Oh, you should have bring someone with you then. If you just ask a maid to help you, you wouldn't have to be late." Wang Shi Ning still blamed Xiao Yun for her lateness. Although Xiao Yun knew how the girl was always late than her. That's a wall-face woman for you.

The old man who has just arrived outside the garden stood there to pull a grin. The servant agitatedly looked at him, bowing their head so they wouldn't level up their gaze to the old man. One of them, being the eldest maid with more experience mustered her courage to ask, stammers, and overly polite could be heard from her question, "Please enter the garden elder."

The old man raised his hand, preventing the maid from sliding open the glass door. "That wouldn't be needed." As he replied, he had seen what he wanted and left with a grin. He came here in a hurry to see the lady who helped him and clear the misunderstanding but when he overheard the little lady extinguished the fire that the women gave before it even lit, he found the girl to be a very brave and confident one with a very good head.

"That little lady, she's something else. Bold and confident yet calm with composure." The old man commented and had his subordinate bending his back to lower his ears to what his master was saying.

"Who?" he asked, having innocence that contrasts out of place with his rouge face.

"Huh, you are really denser than the air." The old man sighed, not wanting to answer him and went to the elevator to exit the place.

After the tea party, Xiao Yun cleared herself from any blemish that the women wanted to throw her leisurely. When they ended the tea party, Xiao Yun halted her steps and bowed to Wang Yan Zhi politely, saying, "Thank you very much for the invitation, elder Wang."

Wang Yan Zhi had a stone-like expression and a piercing stare to her, saying nothing, she only tapped Xiao Yun's shoulder lightly. Although there wasn't much change from her behavior nor was it very friendly, this time Wang Yan Zhi had a look of approval to Xiao Yun. Wang Li Lei's positive changes is a truth and evidence. There were no way her little grandson would take the first steps to change himself, thus Xiao Yun's hard work showed how she deeply cared about her grandson. Also, when Xiao Yun took care of the women in the table, it was quite a show indeed. She was able to keep a cool temperament at their verbal attacks. One could say that Xiao Yun won because of her naiveness But Wang Yan Zhi couldn't be fooled easily by her act. The first time could be a fluke but after the second one, she was sure the little lady was acting throughout the conversation. A very excellent act.

For this, she acknowledged the little lady. The small gesture bought a smile to Xiao Yun. She knew she still had her opposition to her but perhaps after their last conversation that Wang Li Lei had some positive change to his usual self, she had to acknowledge that the girl was the reason for his changes. 

Seeing her grandmother's small behavior which is also rare, Wang Shi Ning walked toward Xiao Yun, crossing her arm and nudged. "I really can't see why Elder Cousin Li Lei like you. Your face is quite normal, your figure is quite normal, and your brain is only a little brighter than others. Nothing too much to note on. Did you use some magic on Elder Cousin?" The corner of Xiao Yun's lips twitched. She still had the same unchanging smile but at her heart, she could really understand why they always fight in the past.

Yet before Xiao Yun reply, Wang Yan Zhi turned her face toward Wang Shi Ning and called her. "Shi Ning, she's you're cousin's fiancée, watch your behavior to your elder."

Wang Shi Ning frowned on dislikes she didn't mind her manner and raised her voice. "Don't you see, grandmother? She's the same age of me, she's river years older than Elder Cousin! There are far better woman suitable for elder cousin!" The "suitable" woman she mentioned was none other than her idol, Lin Chang Lu.

"Silence you fool. Do you not want to here your grandmother's words anymore? She's the one your elder cousin chose, suitable or not, we would see it later." Wang Yan Zhi warned.

Wang Shi Ning rose one of her brows, asking herself whether her grandmother meant by her word. And come up with a meaning that sooner or later, Xiao Yun would soon realize how unfit she is as Wang Li Lei's fiancée and walk down by herself. Thinking that, the dense lady agreed. "You're right! Sooner or later, Elder Cousin would see how unsuited she is as his fiancée."

'How did you come to that conclusion?' Xiao Yun shook her head at Wang Shi Ning's stupidity. Wang Family is known for their intelligence yet they do have the black sheep in their family. Wang Yan Zhi has given up to her behavior and sighed, "Let's go."

"Mhm! Ah wait!" Wang Yan Zhi bid goodbye to Lin Chang Lu before jollily left to follow her grandmother.

But Lin Chang Lu who was looking at Xiao Yun from afar had a different face from the confident expression she often wore. It was the face of a shock and the face of her heart sending her a wild premonition that she would never beat the little lady.

"This can't go on," Lin Chang Lu muttered very faintly and kneaded her hand to a fist. She forced a smile as she walked to Xiao Yun who currently was alone after bidding goodbye to Wang Yan Zhi.

"Xiao Yun, are you going straight to home now? Would you mind, sparing me your time a little and accompany me somewhere else?"
