(178) Taking pleasure in someone's misfortune



When Jing Pei arrived at the Shen family home, only his grandparents had woken up early and were sitting in the living room on the first floor.

The elderly couple, being old, wake up very early every morning at a set time.

The two of them had been downstairs for quite a while. They had just eaten some breakfast and were planning to go out for a walk to get some exercise.

As people get older, they pay special attention to their health.

When Jinghu saw Jingpei suddenly arrive, he could guess without even thinking that Jingpei had come here for the baby.

"You brat, what brings you here?" Jinghu asked Jingpei in an annoyed tone.

Jing Pei glanced at Jing Hu, then looked at his grandmother and called out, "Grandma!"

As for Jinghu, he was overlooked by Jingpei.

When Jing Hu saw that Jing Pei didn't even glance at him, he snorted coldly and turned his head away.

He wouldn't call himself grandpa; he didn't even want to acknowledge his grandson.

If I had known that this brat only knew how to make me angry, I should have given him away when he was born.

To avoid constantly making myself angry.

As he thought about this, Kagetora frowned slightly again.

He then wondered what he would do with Jingpei if he gave him away.

It's better to let this brat stay in our family, so he doesn't go to someone else's house and cause trouble.

Well, it's enough that he's here to cause trouble for him.

"Xiao Pei, why did you come all of a sudden?" Old Madam Jing asked.

She also found it a bit strange. She remembered that Jing Pei had visited the Shen family before, and it wasn't just once or twice.

But why did he come again this time?

Jing Pei has been visiting the Shen family a bit too often.

As for her, she simply came here with Kagetora.

However, she seemed to be having a pretty good time living at the Shen family's house during this period.

However, although she had been quite happy staying at the Shen family's house recently, she was actually quite embarrassed.

After all, she has her own home, and it's not good for her to always live at the Shen family's house.

She felt that she should find an opportunity to tell Jinghu that it would be better for them to move back home.

She could naturally see that Jinghu really liked Hong Baobao; in fact, it was fair to say that he treated Hong Baobao like his own granddaughter.

He even treats Hong Baobao better than his own granddaughter.

That's her; she actually really likes Hung Bo-bo.

In particular, during this period, she was staying at the Shen family's house, and she was able to see Hong Baobao frequently.

As they met more often, she learned more about Hong Baobao.

“Grandma, I just had nothing to do, so I came to see you,” Jing Pei said.

He wasn't telling the truth at that moment.

The reason he didn't tell the truth was, frankly, because Kagetora was there.

He knew without even thinking that if he spoke up now, his grandfather would probably laugh at him.

So, he'd better not say anything.

At the very least, he couldn't say it in front of his grandfather.

However, Jing Pei refused to say anything, but Jing Hu knew what his purpose was.

After hearing Jing Pei's words, Jing Hu felt that Jing Pei was being too fake. He sneered and said, "Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? Lying, Bao Bao is the kind of man who hates lying the most."

After Jinghu finished speaking, he deliberately paid attention to Jingpei's facial expression.

He noticed that Jing Pei's facial expression froze after hearing what he said.

Seeing Jing Pei's change in expression, Jing Hu suddenly felt a little schadenfreude.

Jinghu was in a better mood, so he started humming a song in front of Jingpei.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense," Old Madam Jing couldn't help but say, giving Jing Hu a wink.

"Xiao Pei, don't worry about your grandpa. Grandma thinks you and the baby are a perfect match. Keep it up and win the baby over quickly." Before, Madam Jing didn't know why Jing Pei had been coming to the Shen family so often lately.

She had been feeling a bit confused, but after hearing what Jinghu had just said, she immediately understood.

It seems that Jingpei has been visiting the Shen family frequently lately because he wants to see the baby.

She also really likes the baby. Judging from appearances alone, Jingpei and the baby are actually quite well-matched.

Yes, judging from Jing Pei's expression, it's quite obvious that he likes Hong Baobao.

So, baby? Do you like Jingpei?

Moreover, the baby looks to be no more than twenty years old, while Jingpei is almost thirty.

I wonder if the baby will find Jingpei too old.

Thinking about this, Madam Jing really started to worry, fearing that the baby might not like Jing Pei and might dislike him for being old.

After all, Jing Pei is significantly older than Hong Baobao.

They say there's a generation gap every three years, but these two have three generation gaps already, which is quite surprising.

Madam Jing was also someone who couldn't keep a secret.

Now, thinking about whether Jing Pei would be disliked by Hong Baobao, she reminded Jing Pei, "Xiao Pei, now that you like Baobao and want to pursue her, you can't be so stingy, you know? You're already older than Baobao, and if you're still as stingy as before, Baobao definitely won't like you."

Jingpei felt heartbroken when she heard what her grandmother said.

He hadn't thought he was older than Bao Bao before, but now, after hearing what his grandmother said and realizing that he did look a bit older than Hong Bao Bao, he suddenly felt a pang of sadness.

Hong Baobao already looks quite young, especially when she stands next to Jing Pei, Jing Pei makes Hong Baobao look even younger.

Jing Pei hadn't realized it before, but now she really does feel that she's a bit older than Hong Baobao.

He had a kind of "old ox eating young grass" vibe.

Jing Pei couldn't help but touch his face, thinking to himself that he had always paid special attention to taking care of his face, so he figured that the age difference between him and the baby shouldn't be that big, right?

That's all Jing Pei can think now, and that's how he comforts himself.

Because only in this way can he feel a little better.

After speaking, Madam Jing belatedly realized that what she had said seemed somewhat inappropriate.

However, once those words were spoken, she couldn't take them back.

She opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing more.

“Honey, let’s go out and get some exercise,” Jinghu said.

Upon hearing Jing Hu's words, Old Madam Jing immediately nodded, stood up, and left with Jing Hu.
