Chapter 326: A Bet
Grandma… He actually called me Grandma… Isn’t he the little cutie on TV?
Grandmother Sheng’s heart almost jumped out of her chest.
“I’m looking for… my…” Grandmother Sheng choked, speechless.
Before she finished speaking, Dennis turned and shouted, “Sister, a grandmother is looking for you.”
Then Sheng Yang slowly appeared in Grandmother Sheng’s line of sight…
Grandmother Sheng was taken aback. She didn’t expect that the person Dennis affectionately called “Sister” would be Sheng Yang. She was speechless for a long time.
Every time she saw Sheng Yang, she sneered at her, but this time, she was speechless.
Her heart was pounding.
No wonder Sheng Yang got so many of Dennis’ paintings. Yet she thought they were fake! It turned out that Sheng Yang knew Dennis!
Then why didn’t she say so earlier?!
This was a big deal and she could’ve bragged about it.
However, how did Sheng Yang know Dennis?
While clutching her bag, Grandmother Sheng entered the house and stared at Sheng Yang with a strange look. She was evidently puzzled.
The child she liked, Dennis, was really friendly to Sheng Yang.
“Sister, Sister, do you want to eat an orange?”
“Sister, Sister, do you want some water?”
“Sister, Sister, are you tired from reading?”
It was obvious how much he liked Sheng Yang.
However, Dennis wasn’t just a random little boy. He was a prolific artist. Many people wanted a chance to meet him.
Like Kang Weizhen, Grandmother Sheng was also a fan of Dennis. To spend more time admiring the child, she deliberately stayed for a long time today. Normally, she would always nag about things whenever she visited but she was especially quiet today. She just drank her tea and occasionally talked to Dennis happily. It made Kang Weizhen wonder if her mother-in-law had undergone a transformation.
After Grandmother Sheng left, Kang Weizhen crossed her arms and stood at the door, saying to Sheng You, “Let’s make a bet. Do you think your mother will come back tomorrow?”
Sheng You said without hesitation, “Yes.”
“…”

Jiang Xinyi had been very upset these days. Her family was a mess and no one liked her.
She knew Grandfather Sheng would definitely ignore her after such a big incident. Sure enough, no one picked up despite multiple calls.
Jiang Xinyi thought for a moment. Although Grandmother Sheng blamed her for ruining Sheng Yang’s reputation, Grandmother Sheng was different from Grandfather Sheng. She was stupid and easy to please.
Grandmother Sheng still had a strong bargaining chip in her hand, so Jiang Xinyi couldn’t give up so easily.
Thinking that the situation had settled down since it had been a couple of days, Jiang Xinyi began to wonder how she could please Grandmother Sheng.
Grandmother Sheng was bullied by her mother-in-law when she was young, so when she got older and became a mother-in-law herself, she liked to put on airs and enjoyed the feeling of being superior. She couldn’t get that sense of superiority from Kang Weizhen, who lived like a princess, so she never liked Kang Weizhen and preferred Jiang Xinyi.
If that was the case, she would play along.
Hence, Jiang Xinyi asked the driver to drive to the old Sheng family’s residence. On the way there, she called Grandmother Sheng. Sure enough, unlike Grandfather Sheng, Grandmother Sheng picked up the phone.
“Mom.” After the phone was picked up, Jiang Xinyi said in her usual obedient tone, “I’ll take you out for a foot massage. I’ll go with you. If you don’t want a masseur to do it, I can massage you too.”
