Monster Tea Party

Chapter 5957 No Misunderstanding
"What did she tell me?"

The old lady frowned and thought for a moment.

"It means you've become strange..."

"...You've made better friends."

"Chen Jing".

"So at first I thought it was your friend who was unhappy that you had a new friend and were neglecting her, so she came to me to complain."

……

what……

Leilei felt somewhat helpless.

Why would Grandma think that?

Lele and she are not children anymore.

Who would do something like tattle on someone's parents...

Besides...

Leilei was taken aback.

"Lele knows you're my maternal grandmother?"

As far as she knew, Lele had never met her maternal grandmother.

……

"She guessed."

The old lady smiled.

"I had just delivered food to you and left that day."

“She saw me leave your apartment building and tried to ask who I was.”

"I never expected to run into her so quickly."

The old lady also thought it was a coincidence.

……

"what."

Leilei was somewhat surprised. "I see."

"How could I run into someone like this..."

……

"Yes."

The old lady nodded.

"The child was also surprised."

"But that's just luck."

"She came here just to try her luck."

"I never thought I'd actually run into your grandma."

She told me about her concerns about you.

……

"Worried about me?"

Leilei was a little confused.

……

"You don't feel it yourself."

The old lady shook her head.

"But the people around you have actually noticed something is wrong with you."

"Your friend said he tried talking to you about it."

But it didn't work.

"You seem to trust Chen Jing more than her."

"She was at her wit's end."

"That's when I thought of finding your family."

"This was her last effort."

……

Leilei pursed her lips.

Lele...

……

"Your friend really cares about you."

The old lady was somewhat moved.

After all, this was the first time she had been "blocked" by her granddaughter's friend like this.

……

"Leilei."

The old lady said earnestly, "I know that you found it hard to accept and were very sad when your grandparents told you about Chen Jing."

"But you have to face reality."

"Besides, Chen Jing isn't the only one by your side."

"look."

"Lele is also very worried about you."

"They've all gone to your grandmother."

"She is a very good friend of yours."

……

"……Um."

Leilei nodded.

To be honest, what Grandma said about what Lele did really comforted her a lot.

Although it seems she was betrayed by a friend...

But she also has very good friends who are working hard for her.

……

"But you still need to be more careful."

The old lady reminded her granddaughter.

"Don't trust others too much."

"Human hearts are unpredictable."

……

Leilei opened her mouth.

No sound was made.

She... nodded.

……

The old lady was worried about her granddaughter's situation.

I visited my granddaughter's rented apartment for several days in a row.

The old man went along too.

……

Leilei told the old lady and the old man that they didn't need to come over every day.

It's not that she doesn't welcome it.

Rather, she felt that this was making the two elderly people too tired.

……

Both elderly people said they were fine.

Consider it exercise.

……

Leilei decided to tell the two elderly people about her conversation with Chen Jing.

……

"Have you talked to Chen Jing?"

The two elderly people were very surprised.

……

Leilei nodded.

The day the two elderly people left, she thought about many things on her own.

this matter……

It really does seem a bit mystical.

she……

It's a bit chaotic.

She was willing to believe her maternal grandparents.

but……

She decided to talk to Chen Jing in person.

……

Chen Jing was the first friend she made after graduating from university and entering the workforce.

...Chen Jing helped her a lot.

Most importantly, the house she lives in now was rented at a price she could accept with Chen Jing's help.

Without Chen Jing...

She probably can't afford to rent the house at that price.

……

Now, let me tell her...

Chen Jing approached her...

It wasn't that they had similar vibes or shared interests...

Instead, they had ulterior motives.

she……

It's really hard to accept.

……

Leilei spent a long time mentally preparing herself...

I'm torn between calling or texting Chen Jing.

I've mentally rehearsed how to tell Chen Jing this dozens of times...

……

She hung up the phone the very next second after dialing.

In the end, she still sent a message to Chen Jing.

He arranged to meet Chen Jing.

Chen Jing replied to her message quickly.

agreed.

She can decide the time and place.

……

Leilei was eager to meet Chen Jing.

But considering work...

She suppressed her anxiety and arranged to meet Chen Jing on Friday night.

……

It'll be in a few days.

Leilei comforted herself.

……

On Friday night, Chen Jing came to Lei Lei's house again.

……

After much thought, Leilei still felt that the content of her conversation with Chen Jing was inappropriate to discuss in public.

Leilei arranged to meet Chen Jing at her home.

……

When they met again a few days later, Chen Jing hadn't changed at all.

Upon seeing Leilei, Chen Jing's lips curved into a gentle smile. "Leilei."

……

Just like the clean and approachable girl I remember...

Leilei clenched her fingers.

"sit."

……

The thought of what she was going to say to Chen Jing made Leilei lose her appetite completely.

……

Chen Jing, however, had a good appetite.

As usual, he told Leilei about his work experiences.

Her eyes and brows were lively and expressive.

The tone was playful.

……

Leilei was somewhat dazed.

everything……

It seems like nothing has changed.

……

Ok?
Leilei's heart skipped a beat.

The phone screen lit up and showed that the caller was my grandmother.

……

Leilei's heart was beating a little fast.

She picked up her phone and walked to the side.

……

Leilei returned quickly.

Grandma said they'll come over tomorrow at noon.

I made her some mung bean soup and brought it over.

……

She was very happy.

She loves drinking icy, sweet mung bean soup.

……

"I'm finally feeling a bit happier."

Chen Jing's words startled Lei Lei.

what?
……

"Didn't you notice?"

Chen Jing smiled.

"You seemed distracted and absent-minded during dinner."

"He looked preoccupied."

……

Leilei was stunned.

Is it really that obvious?
……

"Yes……"

Chen Jing put down her chopsticks. "About that day?"

……

That day?

Leilei was stunned again.

What day?
……

"That was the day your grandmother seemed to have misunderstood something."

Chen Jing said with a smile.

……

Leilei suddenly got a little angry.

The things that my grandparents treated with such care and seriousness were spoken of so casually by this person as if they were nothing to mention.

……

"No misunderstanding."

Leilei said somewhat stiffly.

……

what?
Chen Jing seemed taken aback.

what?
……

Did they really misunderstand?

Leilei stared intently at Chen Jing.

"Chen Jing".

This was the first time Leilei called Chen Jing by her full name after they became friends.

"you……"

"Does he really have ulterior motives for getting close to me?"

Leilei suddenly felt a surge of courage.

She didn't want to continue with this ambiguous approach.

She wanted a clear answer.

She wanted to know...

What my maternal grandparents said...

Is it all true?
