Chapter 140: The Jian And Zhao Families Meet (2)
Noticing that the atmosphere had taken a turn for the worse, Jian Cishu's Mother changed the topic, "Oh my, don't get angry Brother Zhao. It's just a joke after all. The kids have their own destinies, so we all know it's pointless to worry over these things."
Old Master Zhao, who'd been silent the entire time, nodded in reply, "Well said, these children have their own destinies to follow. We shouldn't interfere with their lives and leave it to fate."
Changing the topic, Old Master Zhao turned to Zhao Chengning and asked, "Chengning, how are things with you and Ole Shen's granddaughter?"
Noticing his Grandfather's subtle hint, Zhao Chengning replied in understanding, "Pretty good. We call each other every now and then."
A look of satisfaction appeared on Old Master Zhao's face. "I feel that Ole Shen's granddaughter is pretty good. You should cherish her if there's chemistry between the two of you."
Zhao Chengning's reply was swift this time around. "Yes Grandfather, I understand."
Old Master Zhao's words were like a bolt from the blue to Jian Cishu's and Zhao Chengning's Mothers. Zhao Bifen's expression darkened and she exclaimed in dissatisfaction, "Dad, why are you bringing that girl up?"
Old Master Zhao cast a sidelong glance at her and said, "Are you telling me I need your permission just to mention someone?"
"Dad, you know that's not what I meant…"
"In that case, what's wrong with me mentioning it if that's not what you meant?" Old Master Zhao said as he interrupted her. He had a look on his face that seemed to say, "Don't to talk to me about logic, I don't want to hear it."
