Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5948 Treating guests to dinner
"I thought so too."

The old lady gave a wry smile.

"of course."

"These are all my guesses."

"Leilei's friend was probably considering my feelings, so what she said was actually quite vague."

"I was a little angry at the time."

"After all, she said Leilei has a problem..."

"But then I remembered this..."

"What Leilei's friend said..."

"It's hard to say whether it's true or not."

……

"...Are you still with Leilei?"

The old man asked.

……

"Ah."

The old lady nodded. "I'm at the park near Leilei's house."

……

"Are you waiting for Leilei to get off work?"

The old man immediately guessed the old woman's purpose.

……

"Ah."

The old lady nodded again.

"Leilei's friend suggested that I meet Leilei..."

"I think that's right."

"I want to see Leilei."

"Perhaps many problems will then be easily solved."

……

"oh oh."

The old man made his decision: "I'll come find you."

The old man planned to wait with his wife for their child to get off work, and then go see the child.

……

"it is good."

The old lady nodded.

……

The old man arrived quickly.

……

The old lady went directly to the door to wait for her husband, knowing he was coming.

.....
The old man frowned slightly as he looked at the old lady lost in thought at the doorway.

"do not think too much."

……

The old lady suddenly came to her senses.

Realizing what the old man had said, the old woman gave a wry smile, "I'm just worried..."

If what Leilei's friend observed is true...

that……

……

"It'll be okay."

The old man spoke with absolute certainty.

"Nothing happened when I was a child."

"It won't be a problem when you grow up."

"Adults are easier to reason with than children."

……

The old lady gave a wry smile.

But children are more easily "fooled" and "suppressed".

Children and adults...
It's really hard to say who is easier to "deal with".

……

"Let's talk about it when we see Leilei."

The old man didn't want the old woman to overthink things.

Having only heard a few words, who knows what the truth is?
Why scare yourself unnecessarily?
"Let's go eat first."

"We haven't eaten out in a long time."

"How about we go get some beef and vermicelli?"

"Old Zhang and the others said that the food at that restaurant is very good."

"I've always wanted to find an opportunity to eat here."

……

After a brief moment of surprise, the old lady nodded.

"it is good."

……

After lunch, the old man took the old woman for a walk along the canal to aid digestion.

He played a few more games of chess with others.

The afternoon passed by quietly.

Soon, the sun began to set, and it was almost time for Leilei to get off work.

……

The old man and the old woman returned to the door of the house their granddaughter rented.

After thinking for a while, they went up the stairs to the next floor.

He concealed his figure behind the stair railing.

They were looking at the doorway of their granddaughter's room.

Although I feel like my behavior is like that of a voyeur...

But the two elderly people wanted to observe their granddaughter first.

Perhaps there will be some gains.

Perhaps nothing will be gained.

It's ok.

You never know the outcome until you try.

.....
Neither of the two elderly people spoke.

They checked the time every now and then.

I'm guessing when my granddaughter will be back.

……

The pointer moves one cell at a time.

……

The two elderly people were taken aback.

They heard familiar footsteps.

They looked down.

……

A familiar figure gradually came into their view.

Their eyes lit up slightly.

Leilei-
Ok?
The two elderly people were taken aback. Leilei wasn't the only one they saw.

There are others.

And that man...

They were no strangers to each other.

……

"Chen Jing".

The two elderly people looked at each other.

The two children did indeed become very good friends.

Leilei rarely invites friends over to her home.

of course.

The children might feel more at ease in their own room.

Before, when her parents were at home, Leilei's friends might have felt awkward coming over.

I'd rather feel more comfortable eating out.

……

The two girls entered the house chatting and laughing.

As they watched the door close, the two elderly people relaxed.

The two elderly people were a little nervous as it was their first time doing "peeping".

……

"...It seems there's nothing wrong."

The old man looked at the old woman.

……

The old lady pursed her lips slightly.

She shared the same idea as the old man.

Leilei, who was with her friend just now, had a bright smile and a clear voice.

She looks much more lively and cheerful than before.

What does it look like there's a problem?

……

The old lady frowned.

"So that child was really jealous that his friend had a better friend...?"

Did they only find her after she said some ambiguous things?

She took the child's words more seriously because she suddenly recalled a memory from the past.

really……

She's overthinking it... right?
……

The old man opened his mouth.

After a long pause, "...maybe."

Compared to the child's words, what they saw with their own eyes, Leilei, was naturally more convincing.

……

The old lady held her own hand.

Although she felt she was overthinking things...

But I still felt a vague sense of unease and apprehension.

she……

……

"what happened?"

The old man grasped the old woman's hand.

"Isn't it good that Leilei is alright?"

"Don't be angry with other people's children."

"That child probably values ​​her friendship with Leilei too much."

"It's good that Leilei has such a friend who values ​​her so much."

"We can find an opportunity to subtly remind Leilei..."

The old man seemed to be thinking, "While making new friends, we should not neglect our old friends."

……

The old lady nodded.

There was still some hesitation on the surface.

Really...

Did she think too much?

……

"oops."

The old man shook his head. "You actually want something to happen to Leilei?"

……

"of course not!"

The old lady immediately retorted.

How could she possibly want anything to happen to Leilei!?
She is...

……

"I'm just kidding."

The old man patted the old woman's hand and said, "Don't get excited."

"I know you're still somewhat bothered by what that child said."

People are always prone to feeling that something is wrong with some strange or unusual things said, but at the same time, they are always bothered by them and find it hard to let go.

"If you're so worried, how about..."

The old man thought for a moment, "Let's have dinner at Leilei's place this weekend."

"Have Leilei invite Chen Jing over to eat together."

"We just wanted to thank Chen Jing for finding such a nice house for Leilei."

"I also hope that the two of them can take care of each other..."

"In this case……"

"If Leilei really has a problem..."

"You should be able to tell, right?"

……

The old lady was stunned.

This is a...

good idea.

It's better than them spying on their granddaughter at her doorstep.

……

"it is good."

The old lady nodded.

Since that memory has come back, since I'm overthinking it, since I can't let go...

Do a little more.

Once she confirmed that the child's words were nonsense, she was completely relieved.

The old lady rubbed her forehead with a wry smile.

She's so easily influenced by others.

Like an idiot...

……

"Being more rigorous is a good thing."
