Chapter 204 - 205: Grandma Arrives (2)
Lou Xi was thinking about going home to wash up and wait for Qin Mobai today, so after class, she went to the market to buy ingredients for making soup, and then happily returned home.
But when she opened the door, she saw Old Madam Qin standing inside the house directing the servants, and Lou Xi was a bit dumbfounded.
Um... didn’t Qin Mobai change the home’s password, so that only she and Qin Mobai could enter? How did the old madam get in?
Lou Xi stood at the entrance, holding pork bones and carrots in her hand, blinking her big eyes at the old madam.
The old madam was wearing comfortable home clothes, not the formal qipao she wore at the Qin Family earlier, but her face still had that sacred and inviolable expression.
"Grandma..." Lou Xi called out to the old madam, receiving a faint glance in return.
The old madam turned her head and directed the servants to clear out the study on the first floor, and Lou Xi saw there was a bed inside.
What does this mean?
Lou Xi suddenly felt a bit confused. Was the old madam not satisfied with her and Qin Mobai sleeping in the same bed, so she wanted her to live on the first floor?
She slowly walked in, somewhat cautiously.
The old madam saw the bag in Lou Xi’s hand and asked, "What’s in your bag?"
"This?" Lou Xi lifted the bag, "Pork bones."
The old madam probably had never been to a market or cooked before, so upon seeing the bloody pork bones, her expression wasn’t very pleasant, and raw meat naturally had a smell, causing the old madam to immediately frown.
Seeing the old madam’s apparent dislike, Lou Xi quickly hid the bag behind her.
"I thought Young Master Qin was too tired from work, so I planned to make some soup to nourish him. The ones bought outside are definitely not as nutritious as homemade soup." Lou Xi explained.
Hearing this, the expression on the old madam’s face softened a bit. She thought about how her grandson had lived alone for so many years and was very careless about eating. He didn’t cook himself and didn’t like having servants at home. Talking about Qin Mobai’s health always brought tears to her eyes.
"You know how to cook?" the old madam asked lightly, still not appearing very friendly. How could she possibly have a good impression of this strange girl just because of some bone soup!
"Yes, Grandma, what do you like to eat? Although my cooking skills are not as good as a five-star restaurant chef’s, they’re still decent." Lou Xi said with a smile.
The old madam couldn’t tell if Lou Xi was genuinely naive or pretending, unable to see her dislike for her.
"I’ll notify you in advance; starting today, I’m going to stay here to take care of Mobai. If you feel uncomfortable with that, you can leave." The old madam said with a slightly raised chin, exuding a strong presence.
Lou Xi blinked, recalling the message Young Master Qin sent earlier, saying not to be surprised if she saw anything unusual at home.
She thought it was Young Master Qin’s surprise for her, but it turned out the old madam was going to stay at the house.
Well, that was awkward indeed.
"What’s with your expression? This is my grandson’s apartment, do you think I can’t stay here?" the old madam emphasized with a firmer tone.
"No, no, I was just thinking about what delicious food to make for Grandma later. How could I not welcome Grandma!" Lou Xi immediately said with a smile, but she was worried she might do something wrong.
After all, the old madam already didn’t like her.
