Chapter 63: First Countryside Trip
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Xia Zijie had planned to fetch his grandmother from the countryside when Mengjiao returned from her military training, but now…
...Although Xia Zijie’s operation was successful, he still needed to convalesce after the surgery. Mengjiao would have to take care of her mother and brother. There was no way she could go over.
“I’ll fetch her for you.”
Mengjiao did not have any other relatives. Under such circumstances, how could Jian Dan not step up?
Furthermore… She heard that Mengjiao’s hometown was on a mountain. Although it was far from the city, the scenery was very beautiful.
Jian Dan had never been to the countryside before. She could use this opportunity to experience the joy of a countryside trip!
Now that she thought about it, she could not suppress her excitement…
However, her priority was to help! The trip was just incidental!
“How can 1 trouble you again? You’ve already helped us a lot.”
Xia Zijie was the first to speak.
“Mengjiao is my BFF! You’re treating me like an outsider!”
The two of them were very chummy in junior high school, and they still were now.
“But…”
Xia Zijie’s face was filled with embarrassment.
Jian Dan interjected. “If you continue to stand on ceremony, 1’11 get angry.”
This was Xia Zijie’s personality—sometimes, he was so wishy-washy like a girl. He was not as straightforward as Mengjiao.
Jian Dan sometimes wondered if there was a mistake in their personalities.
“Alright, Zijie, don’t say anymore… Jian, thank you.”
“Don’t worry, leave it to me!”
Great, 1 can have fun again…
However, Jian Dan did not tell Chu Liyuan about this because he would definitely not agree, so Jian Dan was going by the mantra “it’s easier to ask forgiveness than to get permission”.
Jian Dan noted the address Mengmeng gave her and returned home to pack her luggage. In order to avoid any sudden unexpected delays, Jian Dan decided to leave today.
However, the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry…
“Little Jian, my chess addiction is acting up again. Come play a few rounds with me quick!”
Grandpa went to visit Jian Dan.
The moment Chu Zhiyuan walked in, he saw Jian Dan carrying her luggage and was about to leave.
“Little Jian, what are you doing? Where are you going?”
Did that brat make Little Jian angry and she was leaving in a fit of anger now?
He could not lose this granddaughter-in-law that he had obtained with great difficulty!
He knew it! The age difference between the two of them was so big; there would definitely be a problem. Especially since this brat had such a bad temper. He had long told Chu Liyuan that young girls needed to be coaxed!
“Nowhere!”
Just her luck! She had evaded Chu Liyuan, but she didn’t manage to avoid Grandpa. What should she do now? If Chu Liyuan found out, she definitely wouldn’t be able to go.
No, she had to think of a way out.
“Did Liyuan bully you? Is that why you want to run away from home? Give me a minute. 1’11 call him now and make him come back and apologize to you immediately.”
What? If Uncle came back, her plans would be ruined. No, she must not let Uncle come back Absolutely not. There was no other way; the only way now was… to drag Grandpa down with her!
“Grandpa, hold on! Uncle and I didn’t quarrel.”
Jian Dan hurriedly took Grandpa’s cell phone to make sure that he could not call Chu Liyuan. Then, she pulled Grandpa to sit on the couch…
“Grandpa, listen to me first. I’m not running away from home! I have something on and need to be away for a few days.”
“Away? For a few days?”
No, this was definitely Little Jian’s stalling tactic. He absolutely must not fall for it.
“Does Liyuan know?”
“Of course I can’t tell him.”
Sure enough, Liyuan didn’t know. Something was definitely up.
“Grandpa, don’t be anxious. Let me tell you the whole story.”
She had to handle Grandpa first…
“I have a good friend. She was going to fetch her grandmother from the countryside, but something came up at home recently and she can’t leave now, so 1 have to help her fetch grandmother over.”
Jian Dan explained patiently.
“This isn’t a bad thing. Why can’t you let Liyuan know?”
Erm… Grandpa, you really like to get to the bottom of things!
“Well… Of course it’s… Grandpa, have you ever heard of the saying “absence makes the heart grow fonder”? Uncle and I have been together almost every day since we got married. Although we have a great relationship now, it’s inevitable that after a long time, we’ll get tired of each other!”
Jian Dan said in seeming earnest.
“So… In order to prevent this from happening, we have to get away for a while occasionally. This way, our relationship will be more loving from missing each other and it will in turn make our relationship stronger and unbreakable.”
This was the first time Jian Dan was spouting nonsense in such a serious manner.
“That seems to make sense.”
“Yeah!”
Jian Dan felt that she was simply too talented; she managed to fool Grandpa. She was getting closer and closer to her countryside trip.
“That’s why 1 can’t tell Uncle. Otherwise, he will definitely not let me go. Then, Uncle and 1 will get tired of each other after a while. It will affect our relationship.”
Seeing that Grandpa was already wavering, she had to strike while the iron was hot.
“Yes! You’re right!”
Yay! Jian Dan could already see the countryside trip waving at her again…
“You just said that you’re going to the countryside? I haven’t been there either. I’ll go with you!”
Jian Dan had already taken flight, but now she fell back to the ground in an instant. “Huh? You’re going too?”
“Yes! It would be very interesting!”
He was bored to death staying at home all day. Although Liyuan returned to the family residence every week, he was so boring that it was a dull experience.
But this lass—Little Jian—was different. Going on a trip with her—to the countryside—would definitely be so much more interesting and fun.
“But…”
“Why? You don’t want me to go… Is it because…”
“Of course not! Let’s go together!”
Given the circumstances, she had to acquiesce. It was better than not being able to go..
