Chapter 576 Aren’t you too old for that?
Ji Shan felt her heart quiver, not because she was eyeing someone else's man but because those eyes were actually ninety per cent similar to that of aunt Shen Shui! Seeing those familiar eyes, her heart couldn't help but squeeze, she wanted to see the face of the girl who was glaring at her but then her gaze fell on the slight bulge around her stomach and that was when she calmed down.
This girl was obviously married and pregnant.
And from the looks of it, she was even living a good life —— Old madam Shen has told her that her granddaughter lives a poor life with her father but still stubbornly refuses to leave. In fact if Ji Shan was being honest that was her favourite thing to listen to, just the thought alone of Su Wan suffering while she was staying at the Shen mansion with comforts covering her from head to toe, was enough to make her smile even in her sleep.
It gave her a sick thrill and stroked her sense of vanity, clearly, she was better than Su Wan yet her uncles were the blind ones who couldn't even see the truth laid in front of them.
When Old madam Shen saw that a handsome man like Lin Chen was helping her out, her eyes glinted as she smiled and praised him. " Young man, you are really good looking. I wish I could have a grandson in law like you, why don't you look at my granddaughter? She is pretty right?" From the spot where Old madam Shen was standing, she wasn't able to see Su Wan's arms hooked with Lin Chen, so she suggested such a thing.
Lin Chen who was proposed to another marriage felt the grip on his arm tighten as he painfully gritted out, " I am already married grandma," then he pointed at Su Wan who was standing beside him.
" Oh, is that so?" Old madam Shen was startled when she noticed Su Wan standing next to Lin Chen because of the veil she couldn't see Su Wan's entire face and that was why she couldn't realise that the one standing in front of her was her one and only grandmother. " I am really sorry about this, but in case you have any brothers, you can introduce them to me. I really like good looking young men!"
Old madam Shen was not exaggerating in her praise, she really did like to watch handsome men the most.
Seeing her enthusiasm, Lin Chen was a bit startled then he smiled awkwardly and answered, " They are married too, Grandma."
" Ah, that's a shame, isn't it?" said Old madam Shen as she turned to look at Ji Shan. " Looks, like we are a bit unlucky when it comes to handsome men,"
Su Wan: "….."
Lin Chen:"….."
Ji Shan: "…."
Ji Shan smiled but if someone was to look carefully they will see that she was clenching her fists tightly on her sides. She was a little furious, her eyesight was better than Old madam Shen and she could see the three men standing behind Lin Chen clearly they had no one by their side but he was still saying that they were married? What a joke! Does he think that she was dying to marry him or his brothers? Just one look and she could see that the men were one of those coarse and rough villagers, she was going to marry a young lord, not some riff raffs, young masters wannabe.
Though Old madam Shen dropped the idea of marrying Ji Shan to Lin Chen or his brothers, she did take a few more looks of his good looks. The two Shen brothers who saw that their mother was on the verge of shedding all of her dignity as the brat's grandmother in law, hurriedly walked over to them, they were worried that if they left her alone for long who knows what she might say to that third brat, his head was already blown up like a puffer fish, who knows how much more it will blow up if their mother kept praising him.
" Mother, aren't you here to see the old master? Why don't you get in the line?" said Shen Junxi as he carelessly shoved Lin Chen out of his mother's line of sight.
Old madam Shen huffed as she looked at her two sons. " Why are you asking this? Are you worried about me now? Is that it, then why didn't I see you care about me just now? Now, why are you so worried about me? No, maybe you think I am too embarrassing for you to watch me admire a good looking man? Maybe I wouldn't have to do that if either of you inherited my good looks!"
Lin Chen was really happy after listening to his grandmother's praise but on the other hand, Shen Junxi and Shen Zizhen wanted to skin that bastard alive. Just wait you brat, it was still too early for you to be happy once their mother finds out that these bunch of good looking men were her granddaughter's husbands who brought her for 'ten' taels just see how she will set you right.
Shen Junxi clenched his teeth as he looked at his mother and harshly breathed. " Mother, can you not do this here? It's not our fault that we took after our father."
" That's right, maybe if you took better care of yourself while you were pregnant instead of running around skipping meals, maybe we could have inherited much different genes."
" Did you say something to me you brat?" Old madam Shen was just thinking about taking out her feather duster when the monk in charge of the temple walked and interrupted her in between.
" Dear patrons, first of all, I would like to thank you all for taking your time and visiting our masters. I welcome you all to our humble abode and hope you will find the blessing you are looking for."
As the monk started to welcome everyone while aligning them in a well-disciplined line, Old madam Shen frowned and looked over at her eldest son. " Eldest, why did you come here for?"
Shen Junxi's mouth twitched as he spat out the first thing that came to his mind. " I am here to pray for a daughter."
Old madam Shen: "….."
" Don't… Don't you think you are too old for that?"
" Certainly not mother."
