"Oh my! Are you really Xie Rong?" Old Madam Ji was eyeing Ru with so much appreciation in her eyes that it made Ru feel on edge. She was like, ’What have I done wrong now?’

"Heh-Heh... That’s what I was told." Ru gave an awkward laugh as she answered.

"Got a sense of humor as well. I like him already." Old Madam Ji spoke with delight as she led Ru inside. action

’This old lady is too cheerful for her age. But why does she think I have a sense of humor? I can’t even understand my own jokes.’ Ru was having a monologue inside while Old Madam Ji was gushing over how much she had heard about Ru from other sources. The said person had no interest at all.

"I’m feeling regretful that I didn’t get a chance to say hello to you at the banquet." Old Madam Ji’s rueful voice brought Ru back to the land of the living.

She gave her most popular and always working as a charm, smile which made Old Madam Ji’s eyes gleam with an indescribable emotion. "Oh, it must be my misfortune that I didn’t get a chance to offer my greetings to a figure like Madam Ji."

While Old Madam Ji was basking in the delight of Ru’s melodious voice, Xiao Zhi Ren gave her a disbelieving look. ’How does she change her demeanor so easily? Damn, she’s better than those so-called actors. Look at her mouth, it’s working like a charm on grandmother.’

"Haiz! There is no misfortune at all. Look, that was just a missed-chance. Here we are again." Old Madam Ji’s dreamy sigh and words made Xiao Zhi Ren shake his head.

’And scored! Great! It could be a new record. This girl actually charmed a person like my grandmother within five minutes. How impressive!’ He was genuinely impressed with Ru’s ability to wrap people around her fingers.

"Grandma, where is grandfather?" Xiao Zhi Ren interrupted their conversation.

"Oh, that old man went to attend some business banquet with your father." She answered insouciantly. Her aged-eyes were still assessing Ru with interest.

"Xie Rong, are you single?" Ru’s brows locked together in confusion but she still nodded cautiously. "Aiyo, it’s such a shame," she suddenly said woefully.

"Huh? What happened?" Xiao Zhi Ren questioned looking at her expression. Why was Rong being single was a shame?

"Isn’t it a shame that I met this young man so late?" Xiao Zhi Ren didn’t know whether to say he expected as much or should he just stay composed. "I don’t even have a daughter or a granddaughter. What should I do?"

Although Xiao Zhi Ren knew where this was going, he still dared to ask. "What do you want to do?"

Old Madam Ji gave him a look of disapproval as she said, "Obviously, I want to take him in as my son-in-law. Grandson-in-law would also work."

Ru who had been muting out their conversation suddenly spurted out the tea in her mouth. "My apologies. This is so not like me." She immediately took some tissues to wipe up her mouth and her clothes. Even in this small movement, Old Madam Ji could see the elegance in her which sparked her interest even more.

"It’s alright. It’s absolutely alright," said Old Madam Ji.

"Can I use your comfort room?"

"Sure. Steward, show our Young Master Rong the way."

With the guidance of the steward, Ru sprinted out of the sitting area. Why was she so unlucky? She was minding her own business and suddenly, the bomb of being a grandson-in-law was dropped on her! Boom! ’That’s unfair to a poor person like me!’ She complained in her heart.

"Grandma, how can you think about matchmaking?" Xiao Zhi Ren asked his grandmother a bit bitterly.

"What did I say wrong? He has such a noble bearing and charming eloquence. How can I let him slip out of my hand?" Xiao Zhi Ren really didn’t know what to say. "But it’s a pity that I can’t even think of anyone who might match perfectly with him. Being this extraordinary must also be hectic for him." Old Madam Ji was pinching her brows as she felt a headache coming while Xiao Zhi Ren was rejoicing that she didn’t say these words before Ru.

Otherwise, that narcissistic and proud peacock would have danced on his head being all haughty. But a smile tugged at his lips at the thought that this proud peacock had to become a part of this family eventually. If not as grandson-in-law then granddaughter-in-law will also work, right? He would never let that proud peacock get away from him. Never!
