Chapter 173 The Reborn Heroine's Excellent Grandma 12
Hu Jiaojiao originally wanted to say that she was his fiancée, but when she saw the wariness and strangeness in his eyes, she suddenly remembered that he didn't know her yet in this life.
Lin Zimo breathed a sigh of relief and said gently, "Are you here to look for your uncle? I'll go call him for you!"
Lin Zimo turned around and was about to leave. Hu Jiaojiao took two quick steps, stood in front of him, and looked at him stubbornly.
"Miss Hu, is there anything else?"
Hu Jiaojiao looked at Lin Zimo with tears in her eyes, her voice choking with sobs: "I heard you're engaged?"
Lin Zimo was so frightened that he took a few steps back. His niece Ziqing might have some disease. He would talk to him about it when he had time and ask his family to take her to see a doctor. How could such a healthy girl have such a bad brain?
Getting engaged is such a happy thing, but look at that expression, why is she suddenly about to cry?
If someone saw this, he would never be able to wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River!
Lin Zimo kept complaining in his heart, but he remained humble and polite on the surface. "Girl, wait here for a moment. I'll go and call your uncle out for you."
This time Lin Zimo learned his lesson. Without waiting for Hu Jiaojiao's reaction, he turned around and ran away.
Hu Jiaojiao looked at Lin Zimo's back as he ran away, and felt as if her heart was broken!
She wanted to make up for the regrets of their previous life and live a good life with him.
But he was avoiding me as if I were the plague god, and looked at me as if I were a lunatic!
While Hu Jiaojiao was immersed in sadness, Hu Jinyan hurried to the gate of the academy.
He had excellent eyesight and could see Hu Jiaojiao's heartbroken look from a distance.
Hu Jinyan's heart skipped a beat. He quickened his pace and came to Hu Jiaojiao. "Jiaojiao, why are you here? Did something happen at home?"
Hu Jiaojiao heard a familiar voice, looked up, and saw Hu Jinyan looking at her worriedly.
Whenever Hu Jiaojiao thought about the fact that she missed Lin Zimo because of the person in front of her, she became furious. She looked at Hu Jinyan with resentment.
Why didn't he set himself and Lin Zimo up early like he did in his previous life?
Otherwise, how could they miss it?
He is my own uncle, how come he doesn't wish me the best?
Hu Jinyan felt a little uneasy when he saw Hu Jiaojiao's resentful eyes. Jiaojiao actually hated him? Why?
Hu Jinyan asked anxiously: "Jiaojiao, what happened at home?"
Apart from something happening at home, Hu Jinyan couldn't think of anything else that could make his niece, a little girl, run to the county town alone and be so sad!
Hu Jiaojiao didn't answer. She looked at Hu Jinyan fiercely and turned away.
Hu Jinyan quickly followed, "Jiaojiao, what happened at home? Why don't you say something!"
Hu Jiaojiao ignored him completely, looking desperate and confused, like an abandoned puppy.
Hu Jinyan didn't want to argue with his niece who was already a grown-up girl, so he could only watch her run away in despair.
Hu Jinyan's heart sank to the bottom, and at this moment, he saw Wei Zixuan walking from a distance.
Wei Zixuan also noticed Hu Jinyan and spoke first: "Ziqing, what are you doing here?"
"Ruoyu, please ask for leave for me and the teacher. I have something going on at home and need to go back."
"What's up? Do you need any help?"
"No, please ask for leave for me, don't forget!"
"Why……"
Wei Zixuan stretched out Erkang's hand and wanted to ask him if he had any silver on him, but in the blink of an eye, the man ran away!
"Ziqing can run so fast, it seems something serious happened at home!"
Wei Zixuan shook his head and ran back to the academy. He wanted to ask Lin Zimo if he knew what was going on.
On this side, Hu Jiaojiao returned home in a daze, and just happened to hear Su Li telling a story to Hu Yaoyao and Hu Qiaoqiao.
The two little girls held their cheeks and looked at Su Li with admiration.
"Grandma, the Monkey King is so awesome!"
"Yeah, Tang Sanzang is so annoying. Why does he never listen to the Monkey King?"
"Zhu Bajie too, those two are the most annoying. They deserve to be captured by the monster..."
…
Hu Jiaojiao found this happy scene very eye-catching. She looked at Su Li with resentment, snorted coldly, and went back to the house.
Su Li glanced at Hu Jiaojiao and saw her enter the room, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. It seemed that his adopted granddaughter had suffered a setback today.
"Okay, that's all for today's story. Qiaoqiao and grandma are going to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables."
"Oh... okay!"
The two little girls have been listening to Journey to the West recently and have been fascinated by it. When they heard Su Li say that he would not continue the story today, they were very disappointed and their little faces wrinkled up.
Su Li took a vegetable basket and took Hu Qiaoqiao to the vegetable garden in the backyard.
Summer is almost here, and the vegetables in the vegetable garden are becoming more abundant. We don’t have to eat cabbage every day.
The eggplants, beans and cucumbers in the field were all edible, so Su Li picked some as well. Just as he returned to the yard after picking the vegetables, he saw Hu Jinyan walking in with big strides, looking anxious.
"Old Four, why are you back?"
"Mom, is everything okay at home? Did anything happen to anyone in our family?"
Su Li looked at him in confusion, not knowing why he asked that, so she asked.
"Why do you ask?"
Hu Jinyan recounted everything that happened today at the gate of the county academy.
"Mom, if anything happens at home, don't hide it from me. We are a family and we can discuss things together."
After listening to Hu Jinyan's words, Su Li had nothing to understand. The heroine went to the county town to find Lin Zimo, but found out that he was engaged. She was shocked and her dream of becoming an official's wife was shattered!
Oh, who does she think she is?
In the previous life, if the original owner had not seen that she had reached the age of marriage and asked Hu Jinyan to keep an eye out for suitable candidates in the academy, how could Hu Jinyan, a grown man, think of these things?
Su Li had never mentioned it in this life, so Hu Jinyan certainly wouldn't act like a matchmaker and ask who was still unengaged or whose family was looking for a matchmaker for him.
In his previous life, the main reason why Lin Zimo chose Hu Jiaojiao was because Hu Jinyan was expected to pass the imperial examination this year.
Otherwise, Lin Zimo is already nineteen years old this year. He is outstanding in character, knowledge, and appearance. How could he choose a young girl as his wife?
"It's okay, everything is fine at home! Since you're back, have breakfast tomorrow before leaving!"
Hu Jinyan still didn't believe it. Jiaojiao didn't look like she was fine!
Seeing that he didn't believe her, Su Li had no choice but to pull him aside and tell him why Hu Jiaojiao was sad!
Hu Jinyan opened his mouth in shock. "Mom, is this true? When did Jiaojiao meet Xiuzhi?"
"How should I know?"
I knew it but didn't tell you. If I tell you, you'll probably never have peace in your life?
"Ah, if she had told me earlier, I could have asked Xiuzhi for her. Xiuzhi is already engaged now, and he's very satisfied with the marriage!"
Su Li rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Even if she told you, you still want to propose to her? She's a girl, and she still goes to him after knowing he's already engaged. She's totally shameless!"
