But, that did not mean that she had no other choice.
Gu Qingyao turned her head, with a cute smile on her face, as if she hadn’t seen the anger on Jiang Lin’s face at all.
Her voice was sweet and polite.
“Grandma, what’s wrong?”
Jiang Linshi was stunned as she did not receive her expected response from Gu Qingyao.
Jiang Linshi’s face was stern, “Who is your grandma? Do you think I will acknowledge you when you are engaged to Beihan? You’re dreaming! A good-looking face allows you to do whatever you want? How shameless of you to call me your grandma before getting married!
“I will never acknowledge you!”
Many people gathered around to chat. Qin Yufeng could not even hide the smile on her lips.
But Gu Qingyao did not show any reaction. She listened carefully to the old lady’s words, and then nodded, “Oh! Then… Mrs Jiang, don’t worry. Bei Han is very assertive and smart. He is not a person who will be manipulated by others or be seduced.”
Jiang Linshi’s expression changed.
“If there are no other matters, I shall leave first. You can continue with your chat.”
She then turned to leave.
Jiang Linshi was completely floored.
What did she call her just now?
Mrs Jiang?
“Stop, stop right now!” Jiang Linshi almost jumped as she shouted. She used her cane to poke the ground constantly.
Gu Qingyao stopped obediently. She turned over and asked politely, “What’s wrong?”
“You…” Jiang Linshi raged.
“You… What did you call me just now? I’m Beihan’s grandma, how dare you address me like that! Did the Gu family not teach you properly? Where are your manners?”
Gu Qingyao suddenly appeared aggrieved and innocent. She looked helpless.
“I… I just called you grandma, but didn’t you say that you’re not my grandma? You also said that I’m just engaged to Brother Beihan but we’re not married yet. And you will never acknowledge me.
“I listened to what you say. You’re old and I can only call you Mrs Jiang or Grandma Jiang. You’re angry with me calling you grandma, and I think you won’t be happy with Grandma Jiang, so I can only call you Mrs Jiang.
“If not, how should I address you?”
“You…” Jiang Linshi almost fainted.
Qin Yufeng did not expect Gu Qingyao to say this. She was stunned for a while. Seeing that Jiang Linshi was so angry and did not say anything, she hurriedly came over and scolded Gu Qingyao.
“Such a disobedient child! This is Beihan’s grandmother. You are engaged to Beihan, so you have to be filial to your grandmother and find ways to make her happy. If your grandmother is dissatisfied with you, you should talk to her more to understand what she likes. How can you just walk away after calling her grandma?”
Gu Qingyao was even more aggrieved, “I called her and intended to stop and talk to her! But seeing that grandma and Aunt Qin are so engaged in your conversation, I should not disturb. Besides, Grandma asked me not to call her and she would never acknowledge me. I knew that Grandma didn’t like me, so I had to leave and let grandma continue to chat with you!
“Look how happy grandma was from talking to you just now!”
Qin Yufeng said, “Nonsense! When did you see that your grandma is happy? She…”
