Chapter 39 Grandma Li’s Invitation



"You work here, don't you?"

Aunt Tong nodded with a smile, "Yes, old lady, I asked someone and heard that the young lady just started working a while ago."

"Isn't it a bit abrupt for me to come to her so rashly?"

Aunt Tong saw the old lady getting as nervous as a child and consoled her, "How could that be? The young lady will definitely be very surprised."

"That's good. Go and ask which floor the Arctic Design Department is on..." Old Madam Li shook her long coat and said to Aunt Tong.

Aunt Tong responded and was about to go find the security guard when she saw a blonde woman walking towards her.

Delia smiled and asked, "Ma'am, I just heard you mention the Arctic Design Department. Are you here to customize jewelry?"

The old lady was well-dressed and had an emerald green imperial glass diamond on her right ring finger. She must be a big customer!

Madam Li looked at Delia doubtfully, "You have this plan, are you?"

"Let me introduce myself. I'm Delia, a senior designer at Arctic. This is my business card." Delia handed over her business card.

When Grandma Li saw that it was Chuchu's colleague, she subsided into her noble airs and said amiably, "Hello."

"Madam, the Chinese say that meeting is fate. How about I take you upstairs to see my work? We have many outstanding designers in our design department, all transferred from Europe to the Asian market..."

Grandma Li didn't know which floor the design department was on, so she just agreed, as it would be great to have a designer lead the way.

Seeing this, Delia became even more excited and pulled her all the way to the reception room of the design department.

He spoke eloquently about the various awards he had won in Europe.

Grandma Li tried to say several times that she already knew a designer, but was interrupted by Delia. Gradually, Grandma Li became a little impatient. She just listened to what she said and was too lazy to respond.

Ning Yichu came out to use the restroom and saw a familiar figure in the reception room. He thought he was dazzled.

When she asked the staff nearby, they all said that it was the old lady Delia met downstairs, who looked very rich. Ning Yichu became more and more certain that this was Grandma Li.

In the reception room, Grandma Li really didn't want to listen to her babble anymore, so she interrupted forcefully, "I already know a designer."

Delia was stunned for a moment, then said, "I wonder who it is?"

"Her name is Ning Yichu. I came here for her fame, so I won't bother you to sell her to me."

When Delia heard the name Ning Yichu, she said bluntly, "Madam, you can find anyone, but not Miss Ning!"

"Why?"

"Because she has no ability at all and got in through the back door, she also maintains improper relationships with several wealthy men and encourages them to pay for her." Delia lowered her voice and said disdainfully.

Grandma Li blew her beard and glared, Chuchu is not that kind of person!

If she was really that kind of gold digger, would she not take a penny when she divorced her grandson?

"Delia, are you talking about me?" Ning Yichu couldn't stand it any longer. He pushed open the door to the reception room and glared at Delia sarcastically. "But how come I didn't know I had such an impressive record?"

Delia didn't expect Ning Yichu to hear it, but she didn't feel embarrassed at all. "Don't be so hypocritical. We all saw it at the Jiangnan Club that day. It was a man who paid for you."

"Just because he paid for me, I have an improper relationship with him. If the company's finance department reimburses you, you must marry him, right?"

"Stop making excuses. These are two completely different things." Delia's tone became increasingly aggressive. "Don't think everyone doesn't know. On the day you applied, you pretended to stain your shirt and sneaked into the CEO's lounge. When you came out, you were still wearing his expensive coat!"

Ning Yichu just found it funny. "Only people with dirty hearts would think dirty things."

"Just wait, Arctic speaks with strength. If you can't release new models next quarter, even the president can't protect you!" Delia said angrily, slammed the door and left.

Ning Yichu stared at her leaving back and sneered.

Then, she felt a burning gaze resting on her. Turning around, she met Grandma Li's tearful eyes. Her nose felt sore and she was a little at a loss.

"I'm sorry, grandma. I didn't expect you to find this place..."

If she had known earlier that her grandmother had known that she had returned home, she would definitely have gone to visit her first.

Grandma Li choked up and held her hand. "Grandma has always known that you are an excellent child, but what kind of people are your colleagues? How can they slander you so casually? Why don't you quit? Grandma will find you an easy and comfortable job."

"There are psychopaths everywhere. I actually like this job." Ning Yichu declined politely.

Grandma Li took Ning Yichu to the reception room and chatted for a long time. She asked her about her experiences in the past five years and her current situation. As they talked, the topic turned to their divorce.

Grandma Li said in frustration, "If I had known that brat was going to divorce you, I would have definitely stopped him."

"It's all over."

"That bastard is so unlucky. He gave up such a good wife like you and chose that white lotus." Grandma Li scolded while tentatively saying, "But I have never agreed to let that mistress into my family. As long as you are willing, I will find a way to match you two up..."

Ning Yichu took a deep breath and quickly stopped her, saying, "Grandma, times have changed. We are no longer the same as we were back then. I have a good life now, and don't they have children? Don't do anything stupid."

Grandma Li felt even more distressed when she saw that she was still thinking about others.

If it were that white lotus, why would she care about the child?

But when she thought of her little great-grandson, Grandma Li couldn't hold back anymore.

Although she didn't like Shen Jiangqing, Dou Dou and Cheng Cheng were the flesh and blood of the Li family after all.

After the twins were born, Cheng Cheng was admitted to the intensive care unit due to complications. She arranged for someone to take Doudou for a DNA test, and the result showed that the parent-child relationship was established.

The child had just been born and naturally couldn't leave his mother, so she had no way of driving Shen Jiangqing away.

"Well, that brat cheated on me while married and is not worthy of you. I'll find you someone better. By the way, do you have a partner now?"

Ning Yichu was stunned by her grandmother's sudden change of tone. Her cheeks flushed slightly as she said, "Not yet."

"It's okay. Grandma is having her birthday next week. I'll invite some handsome young men to the party. You can take your time to pick one. If you like one, I'll help you decide."

Ning Yichu's eyelids twitched wildly, "Grandma, I don't have any thoughts of falling in love for the time being."

"Hey, I know that brat hurt you so badly, but there's no rush in love. Let's take it slow first. It's settled..." Grandma Li handed Ning Yichu the invitation with gold embroidery and said eagerly, "You must come."
