At 16 years old, Chi Chan was spirited and full of confidence, ready to enter a ne...

Chapter 229 Extra - Linda (2)

Linda, who stood out among a group of young women, was now a conspicuous figure.

Lin Da, under the gazes of the single women in the audience and the winking and amused looks of Shu Jia and her husband, looked up and met the meaningful smiles of Chi Chan and Ji Siyuan on stage. He was so embarrassed that he froze on the spot, his toes digging into a magical castle.

Fortunately, the awkward moment didn't last long. Chi Chan's bouquet hit him precisely, and Lin Da instinctively raised his hand to block it.

Before he could react, under the gaze of everyone, he caught the bouquet with one hand. Before he could even pass this hot potato to the ladies behind him, Zhuo Zhiyuan and Shu Jia, that unscrupulous couple, had already started cheering and applauding.

Linda: ...

——

After the banquet, Linda, holding flowers in one hand, helped Grandma Lin, who had come to the banquet, into the car with the other.

Linda casually placed the bouquet on the passenger seat and started the car.

As soon as Lin Da returned to Xingcheng after graduation, he immediately used his savings to buy a house in Xingcheng and bring Grandma Lin to live with him.

At the suggestion of Chi Chan and the others, Lin Da bought a house in the same neighborhood as Chi Chan.

Grandma Lin is getting old. Although she lives with Lin Da, Lin Da also has to work every day, so living with the Chi family is a way of looking after each other.

The building has an elevator, but Linda still chose the first floor. The reason is simple: the first floor has a small yard where Grandma Lin, who can't stay idle, can grow some flowers and fruits to pass the time.

Grandma Lin's usual activity range is around the neighborhood, except for the wedding banquet when Chi Chan got married.

Grandma Lin has worked in the fields for most of her life. Now that she is old, the health problems that have accumulated over time are starting to surface, but she is still very energetic.

After a long day of banquet, my body was tired, but my mind was still very active.

"Xiao Da, look, Xiao Chan got married today. Don't you have any thoughts about it?"

Grandma Lin looked at her handsome grandson in the rearview mirror and tentatively began to speak.

Her unfortunate son died young, when Xiaoda was five years old. Xiaoda's mother was also a terrible person; she abandoned her son and ran away.

She and her grandson Xiaoda have come a long way, but their lives are getting better and better.

But now, she's getting older every day, and her health is deteriorating day by day—

In her life, she has experienced both hardship and happiness. She has enjoyed Xiaoda's happiness enough these past few years. Her only regret is that she did not live to see Xiaoda get married!

If she could see her granddaughter-in-law enter the house with her own eyes, she would be willing to die even if it meant her old body died right away.

Grandma Lin knew that her grandson, who usually seemed well-behaved and obedient, was actually stubborn and would become more opinionated as he grew older.

Although she longed for her granddaughter-in-law to come into the family, Grandma Lin never asked her to say it.

Today is Chi Chan's wedding day. Seeing Chi Chan standing on the stage looking so happy, Grandma Lin couldn't help but think of Lin Da, who is still all alone.

I felt a little uneasy, and because I felt uneasy, I couldn't help but speak up.

If she could find out something today, such as if Linda was planning to get married, then she would be in luck; if Linda still didn't want to get married, that was fine too, everyone has regrets!

After Grandma Lin finished speaking, she almost held her breath, waiting for Lin Da's reply.

After a moment of silence in the carriage, Linda's gentle and patient voice came through: "Grandma, the company is currently in a period of rapid development, and I have a lot of work to do. I simply don't have time to date!"

If Linda had honestly answered that she hadn't met anyone suitable, the topic would have been dropped by Grandma Lin. But Linda insisted on using work-related excuses to fool Grandma Lin.

Work—work—it's all work every day! Grandma Lin was immediately displeased when she heard this.

"Where is it that busy? Look at Xiaoyuan and Jiajia, they're doing just fine, aren't they?"

Besides, you manage so many people, you pay their salaries, so naturally you want them to be busy first. How come you don't have time for dating?

Linda raised her hand and pinched her brow, her tone somewhat helpless, but she still gently coaxed Grandma Lin: "Alright, alright, let them do the things, but there are some things I still have to do myself!"

Normally, it wouldn't be a big deal; Linda's jokes and banter would have made the matter disappear.

But today, Grandma Lin, who had just attended a wedding and seen the beautiful scene of couples, was not going to listen to Lin Da's nonsense. She was so angry that she didn't want to talk to Lin Da at all. She turned her body away and sulked.

Afraid of upsetting her grandmother, Lin Da softened her tone: "Grandma—please don't be angry, okay? I've been really busy with work lately, and I really don't have time to date. Besides, even if I wanted to date, there's no suitable person around me. You can't just conjure one up for me, can you?"

"Why can't I conjure one up for you? Not just one, dozens will do!"

Grandma Lin immediately performed a shameless act for Lin Da.

Then, with lightning speed, he reached into his large handbag and pulled out a stack of A4 papers rolled into a tube.

Then she gave Linda a smug smile and asked Linda to turn on the car interior light. Grandma Lin then took out her reading glasses from her bag and put them on her nose.

Grandma Lin carefully unrolled the A4 paper and began to read the contents aloud.

Name: Zhang Rongrong, 26 years old, single, 165cm tall, 52kg, graduated with a full-time Master's degree in Business Administration from Nanxing University, currently working at the state-owned enterprise Hualiang Group. Gentle, understanding, and filial to her parents. Owns two fully paid-off apartments and a car in Xingcheng City. Ideal partner: Looking for a responsible man with a certain level of financial stability, no bad habits, of similar age, and over 180cm tall…

Xiao Da, this Zhang Rongrong looks pretty good, she's outstanding!

What do you think?

If you don't think it's good, that's okay, I have more here—"

Before Lin Da could answer, Grandma Lin took the first sheet of paper and continued reading the contents of the second sheet in a rhythmic, melodious voice: "Name: Li Rongsi..."

When Linda saw the marriage proposal form that was nearly an inch thick in Grandma Lin's hand, she froze on the spot!
