The old madam held a string of beads in her hands as she nodded without changing herexpression. "En, you're very thoughtful, but I don't need you to stay with me. Just take care ofyourself."
The socialite immediately agreed with her, "Grandma's right! Actually, spending time with grandmaisn't something I'm qualified to do, but..."
The socialite paused purposefully, took a look at the old madam then continued, "I heard that... thewoman with 9th brother went on a trip together with him. Since 9th brother isn't around, Ruo Xi jiejie has to deal with all the work at the company by herself. She's up to her ears in work, so Iespecially made this trip to see you. I hope grandma doesn't mind!"
When the old madam heard that, the hand that was rotating the beads stopped. "Did you say thatWanwan followed Little 9th to country B?"
"That's right, didn't you know already, grandma? Gosh, I have such a big mouth!" The socialitelooked like she just realized she revealed too much.
"Why did Wanwan follow Little 9th?" the old madam asked.
"This..." Seeing that the old madam was probing, the socialite replied, looking like she was put in adifficult position: "Probably because Miss Ye and 9th brother have a great relationship and she
couldn't bear to leave him!
"I heard she made a scene for a very long time and said she wasn't feeling well. After that, she saidshe had a nightmare and dreamed that 9th brother would be in danger during this trip and wouldn'tlet him go no matter what. 9th brother didn't have a choice, so he brought her along!"
When the old madam heard that, her calm faced turned unnoticeably gloomy.
Especially when she heard "9th brother would be in danger during this trip."
The elderly usually found these sayings a taboo. Even if they were said casually, they still made hersomewhat uncomfortable.
