Chapter 1021
Bai Susu is no exception
Seeing that her grandfather was a little angry, Bai Susu quickly said, "Grandpa, I'm not in a relationship. I really didn't lie to you. Just tell me where you got this information?"
Zhang Jimin said, "Of course I found out through my own channels! I heard it with my own ears, so don't try to deny it!"
After hearing her grandfather's words and seeing his extremely confident expression, Bai Shanshan smiled and looked at Bai Susu, saying, "Susu, since our grandfather has heard about this, just tell us the truth. Which young man has captured the heart of our fairy?"
Bai Susu ignored Bai Shanshan's teasing words and said to her grandfather Zhang Jimin, "Since you say you heard it with your own ears, tell me what you heard?"
Zhang Jimin said, "Then I'll be blunt. Didn't you say you were going out to a class reunion this afternoon after get off work? I heard everything you said and did with Xu Bo'an at the Second Hospital gate. Don't deny it! You and Xu Bo'an are dating, aren't you?"
Bai Susu and Bai Shanshan reacted very strangely after hearing their grandfather Zhang Jimin's words.
What's unusual about Bai Susu is that when she was talking with Xu Bo'an and Gu Mingchuan at the entrance of Dongjiang Second Hospital today, she noticed that there was no one else around. So how did her grandfather, Zhang Jimin, know about this?
What's unusual about Bai Shanshan is that, for some reason, when she heard that Bai Susu and Xu Bo'an were dating, she didn't feel happy at all; instead, she felt a little disappointed.
Bai Susu said to her grandfather Zhang Jimin, "Grandpa, how could you eavesdrop on other people's conversations? That's very impolite. Tell me how much you heard?"
Zhang Jimin said, "I heard everything. I saw your boyfriend from college through the window. I know he hurt you a lot, which is why you haven't dated anyone for so many years. I thought you got back together with that guy."
Grandpa was worried you'd repeat the same mistake and get hurt again, so he went downstairs to check on you. Unexpectedly, he saw Xu Bo'an appear, and you even pulled him close to you, telling that annoying guy that Bo'an was your boyfriend, and telling him to give up. Only then did I feel relieved! This wasn't something I did intentionally eavesdrop on!
After hearing Zhang Jimin's words, Bai Susu retorted, "Grandpa, what you heard was all fake. I was just acting to stop Gu Mingchuan from bothering me! You've misunderstood!"
After hearing Bai Susu's words, Zhang Jimin smiled and looked at her, saying, "Susu, look at you, child. Bo'an is so outstanding. It's your blessing to be able to date him. What's this talk of fake or not? You two seem quite natural to me. How could it be fake!"
Bai Shanshan looked at Bai Susu and said, "Susu, it seems that you took Bo'an to your class reunion today, and he went as your boyfriend?"
Bai Susu nodded and said, "Yes, but is it really just an act?"
Zhang Jimin said, "Alright, alright, even if we assume you two are just pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend, the fact that you brought Bo'an to the class reunion as your boyfriend fully demonstrates your approval of him! Otherwise, why didn't you bring someone else?"
Bai Susu's maternal grandmother smiled broadly and said to Bai Susu, "Yes, your maternal grandfather is right. The fact that you brought Bo'an along shows that you approve of Bo'an. Just admit it openly, what's there to be ashamed of!"
After hearing her grandmother's words, Bai Susu lowered her head and said shyly, "To be honest, I think what you said makes some sense. I do really approve of Xu Bo'an! But..." Zhang Jimin said, "That's for sure. Who wouldn't approve of such an outstanding young man as Xu Bo'an? Do you have some concerns?"
Bai Susu said, "No, no, that's not how it is. Oh dear, since you've all brought this up, I'll tell you the truth. Today, Xu Bo'an and I were indeed just pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend. I only acknowledge Xu Bo'an and have no other intentions. Please don't overthink it!"
Bai Susu originally wanted to say that she did have feelings for Xu Bo'an, but she didn't know what Xu Bo'an thought. However, after thinking about it, she was too embarrassed to say it to them, so Bai Susu changed her words.
For some reason, when Bai Susu said those words, Bai Shanshan felt noticeably more relaxed than before. She could clearly feel this change in mindset, but she hadn't quite figured out the reason for it yet. In short, she felt much more at ease.
She unconsciously relaxed.
Zhang Jimin smiled meaningfully at Bai Susu and said, "You little rascal, your grandpa was once your age too. Explanations are just a cover-up. Anyway, whether you and Bo'an are really boyfriend and girlfriend or not, today's events are a good start! Alright, it's getting late. Your grandma and I are going to our room to rest. You two should get some rest too!"
After saying that, Zhang Jimin and his grandmother went back to their room to rest, leaving only Bai Susu and Bai Shanshan in the living room.
Bai Susu looked at Bai Shanshan and said, "Shanshan, you said this is still far from settled, so why are Grandpa and Grandma so happy?"
Bai Shanshan rolled her eyes at Bai Susu and said, "You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? You know your own situation best. Why are you asking me? Honestly!"
After saying this, Bai Shanshan got up and left without looking back, heading towards her own bedroom.
Leaving Bai Susu looking completely bewildered, he said to himself, "If you don't know, you don't know. Why are you looking so fierce?"
Despite the banter and teasing, Bai Susu was actually in a pretty good mood today. She was very satisfied with Xu Bo'an's performance; at least in the eyes of outsiders, they were a perfect couple.
Most importantly, Xu Bo'an's identity left those who wanted to bully and look down on her speechless with astonishment. From initially belittling them, they all ended up wanting to curry favor with them, which made Bai Susu feel very pleased.
Although Bai Susu wasn't the vain type, she still felt hurt by the subtle and overt mockery from her classmates. Xu Bo'an's status and position provided a powerful rebuttal, offering the sense of security that every woman craves, and Bai Susu was no exception! (End of Chapter)
