"You're thirty-four or thirty-five years old and still not married, is that proper?" The old lady interrupted him, not wanting to hear his excuses and nonsense, and made a decision directly, "It's settled then. If you dare to be late or not come this weekend, don't come home, and don't call me grandma anymore."
At the speed at which these two unfilial grandsons are finding wives, she might not even see her granddaughter-in-law and great-grandson before she's buried.
Besides, these two unfilial grandsons are really not young anymore.
If Huanhuan weren't away abroad with Xueheng, she would have also been planning to urge her to come back soon. Huanhuan wouldn't be back for a while, so she should visit a few more people first.
Then my granddaughter can have a good chance to choose.
Her grandchildren must not be wronged.
It has to be something that I'm satisfied with and like.
After giving her a slap, the old lady decided to offer a sweet treat: "How many more years does Grandma have to live? I'm counting on you three siblings getting married soon, so you'll have someone who cares about you, and this big house won't be too lonely."
Seeing that Pei Yu remained silent, she became angry as well.
These two brothers are both incredibly taciturn; you couldn't get a word out of them even if you hit them three times.
It was incredibly frustrating.
But now she's the only one in the Pei family who can handle this matter. Once she leaves, there will be no one to help them, and they'll really be left to fend for themselves.
“I’ve been trying to arrange this for you since you were 28, but you’ve never agreed to it. When I ask you if you have someone in your heart, you say no. You just won’t get married. You can’t be refusing to get married because you like men, can you?”
cough!
Pei Sui was once again taken aback by the old lady's startling words.
He looked up at Pei Yu in shock again.
Pei Yu: "?"
No, he felt that his grandmother's thinking was becoming increasingly wild and trendy, and he really couldn't quite grasp it.
How can a person's mouth be so cold?
He suddenly felt he couldn't eat anymore, so he put down his chopsticks, pondered for a moment, and before he could speak, the old lady sighed, as if she was thinking of a solution.
“If that’s the case, I’m not some old lady who’s not open-minded, but I still need some time to accept it. Is the boy from Beijing? Is he in our circle? Let’s not bring him back for now. I need to take it easy; I’m afraid my heart can’t handle it. Let’s wait until the end of the year. By then, I should be able to accept it more easily.”
Pei Sui looked at him meaningfully. Oh dear, I didn't expect that after coming back for dinner, I would eat a few bites of food and then eat a big piece of gossip first.
Pei Yu: "???"
Does this conclusion go from being questioned to being accepted without any verification process?
He looked bewildered and helpless. "Grandma, what man? There's nothing wrong with my sexual orientation."
"Oh, so why haven't you gotten married all these years? Is there a white moonlight in your heart? Or are the rumors true, that you're keeping someone outside? Grandma isn't the kind of person who holds grudges. As long as the person has good character, family background and such don't really matter."
Pei Yu lowered his eyelids, not wanting to continue the topic with the old lady, and decisively ended it, "I've remembered what you said, this weekend, Yaochi."
The old lady also visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
"You've met this girl from the Cen family. She's the best in terms of looks and talent, and she's a good match for you. Get to know her better. Don't say it's not a good match after just one meal. Although I'm old, I still have the strength to hit people. If you feel it's not a good match after spending more time with her, I won't force you."
"Yes, I know," Pei Yu replied softly.
He glanced at Pei Sui, fearing that the old lady might say something terrifying because of her question, and decisively shifted the blame, "I heard from Lang Jiayu that you and Meng Sheng got back together?"
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the old lady immediately looked at Pei Sui, a kind smile spreading across her face. "You've gotten back together? Oh dear, when did that happen? I haven't heard you tell Grandma. What's the situation now?"
Pei Sui nodded calmly and replied succinctly, "The Fang family and the Kong family got back together on the day after their wedding reception. On Monday, I went to the Xu family in the north of the city and met her uncle and aunt. Yesterday, I went to the hospital to see her father, and he agreed."
The old lady and Pei Yu were both stunned, looking at him with some surprise.
Isn't this development a bit too rapid?
Have you already met the parents?
What did they miss?
I only just found out that we got back together.
They had previously thought that Ah Sui must be going through a tough time, in a lot of pain, and going through a lot of sadness and torment after her breakup.
In the end, all things considered, he only had eleven days.
The old lady and Pei Yu were both a little choked up, but at least it was a good thing, they didn't have to suffer the pain of love and be tormented in relationships.
"That's good. When we have some time, your brother and I will go to the hospital to visit her father. You and Shengsheng can talk slowly, don't rush."
The old lady said with relief, "Bring Sheng Sheng back for dinner whenever you have time."
Pei Sui hummed in agreement, picked up a piece of food for the old lady, and continued eating.
He didn't stay at the old house for too long, since it would take almost two hours to drive back to the south of the city. After dinner, he sat with the old lady in the living room for half an hour, and then helped her to the flower room to stroll around and digest her food.
The old lady, leaning on her cane, looked at the large expanse of colorful flowers in front of her and said to Pei Sui with a smile, "When you go back, bring Sheng Sheng a bouquet of flowers. The roses and jasmine are blooming beautifully this season. Go pick them, have someone wrap them up for you, and take them with you later."
"I don't know what's wrong with the roses this year; they're not as vibrant as last year, but there are still a few nice ones. Go pick some later, choose the good ones. No girl doesn't love roses."
Pei Sui's gaze fell on a certain ethereal spot, as if he had remembered something, and he smiled slowly, "Okay, I'll pick it in a bit."
After strolling around the neighborhood for about ten minutes, he went to the flower room and picked twenty or thirty different flowers. The servant in charge of the flower room took the flowers from him, and he first helped the old lady back to the courtyard, and then went to Pei Yu's study.
The two brothers talked inside for less than ten minutes before Pei Sui came out, carrying two bouquets of flowers and two servings of pastries brought by the servants, and left the Pei family's old residence.
It was already 10:30 when we returned to the Left Bank Courtyard.
When he went upstairs, Meng Sheng had just finished showering and was putting on a face mask, playing with Si Si in the living room with a cat toy.
Hearing the door open, she looked up and saw a pair of long legs encased in straight-leg suit trousers, followed by two bouquets of flowers: one of red roses and one of Chinese roses, adorned with seven or eight jasmine blossoms.
Next came a familiar, handsome profile, with cool and deep-set eyes.
She smiled gently, "I'm back."
