Chapter 24: It's Hard to Decline a Kind Reward
He walked to the old woman and stopped, then spoke word by word, calling her "Grandma".
Xu Yangyang could feel that her mind was blank. She never expected that the other party was Li Boyang's grandmother, the old lady of the Li family.
"Boss Li?"
Xu Yangyang was so shocked that she couldn't describe it in words, and she felt like her jaw was about to drop to the ground.
The person in front of him was actually Li Bowang.
After seeing this scene, Mrs. Li was also a little surprised and asked her grandson.
"You two actually know each other?"
Li Boyang looked at the woman in front of him and nodded slightly.
"That would be great if you knew her. I didn't even have time to tell you that it was this kind girl who saved me today."
When Mrs. Li saw that the two knew each other, she seemed to open up and pulled Xu Yangyang over with one hand and Li Boyang over with the other.
"You two can be considered destined to be together. I never thought you knew each other before. If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have gone to such great lengths to ask this girl if she had a boyfriend. But before I could ask, what's your name?"
Old Mrs. Li narrowed her eyes and acted very familiar with Xu Yangyang.
She smiled and told her her name.
"Yangyang, what a nice name, it's easy to pronounce and suits my taste."
Old Mrs. Li praised.
"But speaking of which, you saved me by accident, so I really should give you some reward. If you're free, let's go out for dinner together, okay? We won't eat at those restaurants out there, they're not very clean, so why not just go to my house? You all know each other anyway."
Old Mrs. Li didn't care about all those trivial things and started to match them up directly.
Li Boyang understood what his grandmother meant, lowered his eyes, and did not point it out.
He just stood there without saying a word, but his eyes were fixed on Xu Yangyang.
It was such a cold day, but she was still wearing thin clothes, or maybe she was just very thin. Her fair skin and her eyes that seemed to speak were very touching.
After hearing this, Xu Yangyang felt a little embarrassed and thought of what Jiang Linan had said to her.
My intuition tells me that I must not agree to this.
She was also a little hesitant.
"Grandma, my recent work..."
She wanted to make an excuse that she was busy at work, but before she could finish her words, she was rejected by Mrs. Li.
"I know you young people are busy with work. My grandson tells me every day that he's too busy to come home. If I hadn't been hit today, I'm afraid he wouldn't have had time to come see me. Besides, no matter how busy you are at work, you still have to eat. I'd feel embarrassed if you saved me, so why not just agree to it?"
Old Madam Li was quite good at inviting people, and Xu Yangyang was completely unable to refuse her kindness.
She looked a little embarrassed and thought of what Jiang Linan had told her, asking her to rest.
That means she is free all day today.
Xu Yangyang was still a little hesitant, because she had originally planned to visit her mother in the hospital today. However, her coming here today was not completely without gain. At least she was able to see her unconscious mother and her physical indicators were much better.
"My dear granddaughter, come back with me and have a meal."
Old Mrs. Li saw Xu Yangyang's hesitation and grabbed her wrist and was about to leave.
"Then I won't be polite, grandma."
She smiled, and after making sure everything was done, she felt relieved, so she could follow Li Boyang and the old lady to the Li family's old house without any worries.
Li Boyang drove the car all the way, while Xu Yangyang and Old Lady Li sat in the back seat. The latter was very talkative and kept chatting with her.
Old Mrs. Li was a cheerful mother-in-law. She didn't force the young man to answer her, but just kept talking. No matter whether Xu Yangyang responded or not, or whether she finished her words or not, she felt very happy about it. Her eyes were always smiling, making her very approachable.
Xu Yangyang came to the Li family's old house.
The Li family's old house was far more magnificent than she had imagined, more like a European castle, and full of maids.
The facilities inside are also very complete. As soon as you enter the door, you have to pass through a large garden.
Xu Yangyang looked a little dazed, but she had clearly seen truly rich people before, such as Jiang Runan.
She looked away, not knowing why she thought of him at this moment.
She followed Old Lady Li and Li Boyang slowly and steadily. During the walk, the old lady held her hand all the time, giving Xu Yangyang enough face.
She had already given instructions early on, and the banquet was already set up inside.
There is a wide variety of dishes inside and the lighting is bright.
"We've been delayed on the road for too long. The food is ready. Let's eat it while it's still hot."
Old Mrs. Li invited them to sit down.
Xu Yangyang's position was also very clever. She was sitting right next to Li Boyang, but being able to face Old Lady Li directly was also pretty good.
She felt a little nervous in such an environment because she was not sure what would happen.
Fortunately, Mrs. Li always had a smiling look in her eyes. No matter what happened, she didn't seem to take it to heart. She even went over Li Boyang to pick up some food for her.
"The more I look at this girl, the more I like her. She's beautiful, and her voice is so gentle. She's much better than those pretentious socialites."
Old Mrs. Li praised her, and Xu Yangyang could tell from her tone that she was a genuine mother-in-law who was easy to get along with.
"Thank you for the compliment, mother-in-law. You've been praising me all day and my ears are numb."
Xu Yangyang acted coquettishly, feeling a little embarrassed.
"So what? But speaking of the question I asked you today, do you have a boyfriend? You haven't answered me yet. I think you are not married yet, right?"
After all, Mrs. Li invited Xu Yangyang to her home for her own purposes, so naturally she was obsessed with this issue.
When Xu Yangyang heard this question, she did not answer immediately, but instead concentrated on eating for a while.
She thought about the relationship between herself and Jiang Linan.
Is he a boyfriend? She doesn't know.
Xu Yangyang thought again that Jiang Runan was already engaged, and she was at best a bed partner, and such a relationship might not last long.
She lowered her eyes, with a complicated look in her eyes, not sure if it was disappointment or something else.
"Mother-in-law, I'm not married."
Xu Yangyang tilted her head, which was considered as an answer to Mrs. Li.
When the old lady heard this answer, her eyes lit up and she immediately had the answer in her mind.
She put down her chopsticks and took off the bracelet on her hand.
He then took Xu Yangyang's hand and put it on her.
"This is our Li family's heirloom jade bracelet. I'm giving it to you today. You can be my granddaughter-in-law and get along well with Bo Wang. I think you two are a perfect match. You should be very comfortable getting along with each other."
As Mrs. Li spoke, she hinted at Li Boyang with her eyes, but he never responded.
Not even a word of support.
After hearing this, Xu Yangyang saw the expectation in Old Lady Li's eyes. She felt embarrassed and wanted to refuse.
"Grandma, even though Mr. Li and I know each other, we're not yet at the stage of getting married, and everything still needs to be done slowly. It's really too expensive for me to accept the bracelet all of a sudden, and I feel bad about it. We haven't even started dating yet."
