This was her second son’s house and her husband was working nearby too. She lived at her eldest son’s place for a period of time previously and was back here to see her eldest grandson who was transferred to work here.
The elderly woman had four grandsons and a granddaughter!
Grandmother Ji was all smiles when she returned home. Her lips curled up and she was even humming to a song.
Ji Mingyue was eating melon seeds in the living room when the elderly came back. “Grandmother, what good thing happened to you? Why are you so happy?”
Grandmother Ji laughed. “I met a fairy-like lady. She’s so beautiful. Ah, she’s prettier than my younger self!”
Ji Mingyue’s lips twitched. Her grandmother liked pretty ladies and she seriously suspected that her grandmother liked her so much not because she was the only granddaughter of the house but because she was better looking than her elder brothers.
Ji Mingyue said, “Which family is she from? I’ve been here for a few days but did not see any families with pretty daughters.”
Grandmother Ji replied, “The Gu family. She’s from their hometown. She just came here today to visit her relatives. She is extremely beautiful and I couldn’t help but stare for some time.”
Ji Mingyue: …
“The Gu family? Do you mean Gu Jinlin’s family? His younger sister?”
Ji Mingyue’s second uncle’s house was here and the members of the Ji family got along with each other very well. Ji Mingyue came here before and this time, she saw Gu Jinlin more frequently than past times.
Gu Jinlin was a pretty good and outstanding man. She remembered that someone even wanted to matchmake her and Gu Jinlin!
However, she liked Mo Beihan and thus rejected it.
Grandmother Ji nodded. “That’s right. She’s Gu Jinlin’s younger sister. Younger cousin to be exact. She’s sixteen this year. Didn’t Gu Jinlin’s mother injure herself? She came to take care of her.”
Ji Mingyue lost all interest instantly. “It can’t be right, grandmother? The Gu family’s hometown is in the countryside and you said that lady is from their hometown. How pretty can a countryside girl be? They are exposed to the harsh weather and even if she is good-looking, it is impossible to be anything exceptional.”
Grandmother Ji hit Ji Mingyue’s head. “This little girl. You have a prejudice against countryside girls just because of that stupid incident, haven’t you? This girl is very good-looking and she’s as beautiful as a fairy. Gu Jinlin is good-looking, right! The two young ones are also good-looking and the same for Gu Yundong. Clearly, the people of the Gu family are all good-looking, just like our family.
“You will know when you meet that girl.”
Ji Mingyue shrugged. If her grandmother said she’s pretty, then she’s pretty!
Grandmother Ji was very excited and could not stop talking once she started.
“Mingyue! I am serious. I can tell that this girl has a very good upbringing and has depth. I heard that the root Gu family is a wealthy family! It’s just that they are in an abject condition now. Although this girl grew up in the countryside, I can tell that she’s not ordinary. What do you think of introducing her to your brothers and making her your sister-in-law?”
Ji Mingyue was stunned!
Her grandmother liked good-looking people. In the past, she had seen numerous good-looking girls and Ji Mingyue had heard her grandmother praising others. However, this was the first time she heard her grandmother mention about having the girl as her sister-in-law.
“Granny, you just saw her once but you already know whether she’s good or not?”
“Of course!” Grandmother Ji lifted her chin pridefully. “I’ve seen many people with this pair of eyes and I’m pretty sure that this girl is not bad. She’s so good-looking and has such an outstanding demeanor. There must be many people eyeing her. I am going to gain the advantage of striking first. Otherwise, we will only be left to cry when she’s snatched away.”
