Chapter 37: Thunderstruck
She could tell at a glance what age Grandma Huo was and what people's intentions were.
For example, now looking at Lin Pinyan with heavy makeup and a flattering face, and her cheekbones higher than those of ordinary people, I feel a little displeased.
"I'm sorry, Juncheng doesn't have many female friends, and I've never heard Juncheng mention you."
Grandma Huo looked very cold and didn't want to talk, just like Huo Juncheng. The old lady had seen all kinds of monsters and ghosts, and she must have seen at least a dozen girls who wanted to get close to her in order to achieve their own goals.
What's more, Huo Juncheng already has a granddaughter-in-law now, so he should stay away from people like him.
Grandma Huo didn't care about Lin Pinyan's expression or mood, and walked into the playground to find Lin Yilan.
Seeing the noble lady about to leave, Lin Pinyan followed her even though she couldn't bear to show her face: "I am also a student of Ocean University. I will take you wherever you want to go, old lady."
I didn't expect this girl to be so shameless. Someone like Grandma Huo knew this very well, so she stopped and replied, "I'm here to look for my granddaughter-in-law, Lin Yilan. She's a teacher here. The people in the Academic Affairs Office told me that she teaches here. Are you her student?"
Lin Pinyan had nowhere to hide under Grandma Huo's gaze. She had originally thought that her identity as a student at Hai University would add points to her, but she had not expected that Lin Yilan had been recognized by the old lady of the Huo family so quickly.
What Lin Pinyan didn't know was that Lin Yilan was the future wife chosen by Grandma Huo for Huo Juncheng. Even if Huo Juncheng didn't recognize her, the old lady would not disown Lin Yilan as her granddaughter-in-law.
"Uh..." Lin Pinyan's delicate makeup couldn't hide her mixed feelings, but after a brief thought, she decided to swallow the irritation. "Lin Yilan is my physical education teacher. If you're looking for her, old lady, I know where she is."
Unexpectedly, Lin Pinyan would be so kind as to help her find her grandson's wife. Grandma Huo just wanted to keep a low profile in a place full of young people, so she didn't bring Uncle Huo with her. She just listened to Lin Pinyan and let her take her with her.
When they were found, Lin Yilan was still helping Jia Hanchao and his group of muscular men correct their movements. This was the scene that Grandma Huo saw when she was brought there.
Lin Pinyan stood behind the old lady, laughing secretly, and even whispered in Grandma Huo's ear, adding fuel to the fire: "Look, old lady, our teacher Lin is over there. She is a warm and cheerful person. She usually likes to help the stronger male students like this. Please take a closer look."
After finishing speaking, Lin Pinyan took a step forward to look at the expression on the old lady's face. Who knew that these words did not have any substantial effect, and there was no sign of displeasure on Grandma Huo's face.
Perhaps it was even because she saw Lin Yilan that the old lady had a smile of joy on her face.
"Yilan, my granddaughter-in-law!" The old lady waved towards Lin Yilan.
Lin Yilan, who was not far away, heard the familiar voice and did not try to hide anything. She walked towards Grandma Huo and asked as she walked, "Grandma, why are you here?"
"I was bored at home, so I came to see how you were adjusting here. I also wanted to have lunch with you," he said, pointing at Lin Pinyan and continuing with a smile, "This is your student, right? She just praised you for being enthusiastic and cheerful, and for being a good teacher who helps students."
Lin Pinyan, who was standing aside, became even more embarrassed. She finally experienced what it meant to lose more than gain.
Lin Yilan was even more surprised when she saw that it was Lin Pinyan. She opened her mouth slightly and said, "Grandma, are you sure? Did this classmate praise me in front of you?"
What day is it today? Could it be that the sun rises from the west?
"Can grandma still lie to you youngsters?" Grandma Huo squinted her eyes and smiled kindly, completely different from her cold and distant appearance just now.
He turned to look at Lin Pinyan and said, "This classmate seems to have the same surname Lin. Maybe you two were from the same family eight hundred years ago."
Lin Yilan suppressed her surprise and explained to Grandma Huo: "Grandma, you are right. This classmate is my stepmother's daughter. She is my stepsister. Her name is Lin Pinyan."
"Grandma Huo, I just introduced myself to you." She had to hold back in front of Grandma Huo. Lin Pinyan secretly clenched her fingernails tightly to endure this unpleasant feeling.
At this point, Grandma Huo already understood who Lin Pinyan was, but she had also heard about the Lin family's affairs. After knowing who this little girl was, Grandma Huo liked her even less.
"Oh, I didn't expect they were actually a family."
"Yeah," Lin Yilan took Grandma Huo's arm and looked at Lin Pinyan, "I didn't expect you to praise me in private, especially in front of Grandma!"
Lin Pinyan had an urge to vomit blood, but her reason told her that even if she wanted to vomit, she couldn't do it in front of Grandma Huo, so she could only try her best to control her twitching face and make herself smile.
"Because I would never say bad things about you in front of others. We are sisters after all!"
Lin Yilan shuddered when she heard this. Lin Pinyan was such a cruel woman that she even dared to say things she didn't believe herself.
"Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning when you say that?"
Even in front of Grandma Huo, Lin Yilan had nothing to hide. She had always been very honest, which formed a sharp contrast with Lin Pinyan's hypocrisy.
"Are you joking, sister? I didn't say anything wrong, so why would I be struck by lightning?" Lin Pinyan still tried hard to keep the peace in front of others.
Lin Yilan was too lazy to pay attention to her. She took Grandma Huo's arm and said, "My class is over, Grandma. Let me get my things and then we can go have lunch together."
Grandma Huo naturally nodded in agreement. Lin Yilan didn't think much about it, so she left Grandma Huo and Lin Pinyan together and went to get the things herself.
Grandma Huo felt bored and had to tease Lin Pinyan in front of her: "You should learn from your sister. They are both children of the Lin family, but one is still a student and the other is already a university professor."
"..." Lin Pinyan almost couldn't maintain the fake smile on her face.
"You're right, but not everyone can be as outstanding as my granddaughter-in-law." Grandma Huo looked at Lin Yilan's back, her heart and eyes filled with Lin Yilan's excellence and beauty.
"..." It was still a sentence that Lin Pinyan couldn't respond to, so she had to try hard to maintain her dignity.
"Thank you for showing me the way today. I'm going to have dinner with my grandson's wife soon, so I won't bother you any more."
