However, even though Lu Miaochan decided not to answer, she wouldn't reveal certain specific details and truths.
Because the fact that Ye Xuan was already married was such a huge blow, she didn't want Zhou Cuilan and Wu Dongqing to know. Moreover, Zhou Cuilan wasn't in good health, and if she got shocked by this truth, who knows what harm it could cause? So she was determined not to say anything!
After organizing her thoughts, Lu Miaochan said to Zhou Cuilan, "Grandma, you guessed it right, I do have a boyfriend, and we recently had some issues. I had a big fight with him yesterday, which is why I've been feeling troubled and my mood hasn't been good, making you and Grandpa worry about me."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Cuilan's eyes lit up instantly, and she immediately pursued, "Miaochan, you really have a boyfriend? How come I never heard you mention it? How old is he now, what's his job? He must be very handsome to have caught your eye! By the way, how are things going between you two now? Have you decided when to get married?"
Zhou Cuilan fired off questions like a machine gun, asking a whole string of things, leaving Lu Miaochan no room to interject.
Moreover, with Lu Miaochan mentioning the big fight, she seemed to care not at all.
Evidently, in her view, bickering between young couples was the most normal thing; it's not really an issue at all! A fight at night would always be forgotten by morning, and there could be no real grudges overnight between couples or sweethearts. Such matters were nothing compared to the information about her granddaughter's boyfriend.
So regarding the quarrel, she instinctively ignored it and was more concerned about the basic situation of Ye Xuan.
"Oh my! Grandma, you've got too many questions; how should I even begin to answer? Also, could you not ask such far-reaching questions like marriage and all, I don't even know how to respond to those!"
Lu Miaochan felt dizzy from what she heard, and after sorting it all out for quite a while, she realized that most of Zhou Cuilan's questions didn't even touch on the main topic, they were all gossip-related.
She never expected her own grandma to be so gossipy, even more so than her own mom was!
It seems her mom got her gossip genes from grandma.
If she had known this, she shouldn't have confessed! After all, this kind of thing is too sensitive, and if under grandma's relentless probing, she accidentally slipped, then things could get a bit troublesome; wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
"Alright, alright, Grandma is just too eager, so I'll ask you one question at a time!"
Zhou Cuilan laughed and said, "Then tell me first, what's the name of this young man? How old is he this year?"
"He's Ye Xuan, and he just turned twenty-four this year." Lu Miaochan replied honestly.
"Already twenty-four? Three years older than you, so he should have graduated and started working, in which company?" Zhou Cuilan asked again.
"Yes, he's working at a listed company now!"
"Oh? A listed company? That sounds very promising!"
Zhou Cuilan's eyes lit up, and she continued to ask, "What exactly is his job? How's the welfare, and his income?"
Lu Miaochan said, "He's a sales manager now, the benefits and perks are obviously great, year-end bonuses, plus extra bonuses, his monthly income should be around thirty thousand!"
"Thirty thousand? That's very good, a high salary indeed, and so young to be a sales manager; his future is limitless."
Zhou Cuilan praised, then gently and persuasively said, "Miaochan, Grandma has more experience than you do, you should find someone mature and successful in his career! Such men have stable incomes, a sense of responsibility, and care for others. More importantly, they are emotionally mature and family-oriented, much more reliable than young lads."
Looking at Zhou Cuilan's gleeful face, Lu Miaochan didn't know what to say.
Your granddaughter, had been hurt so deeply by this so-called reliable man, she's almost broken! Otherwise, she wouldn't have come here seeking peace.
Although she was complaining inwardly, she didn't show it on the outside. Instead, she put on a forced smile and said, "Grandma, you're right, he is that kind of person."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Cuilan's smile widened, she pondered for a moment and then asked, "Miaochan! So how is his character? These days mature men are popular, but character is more important! Is he a good man? Does he listen to you?"
How was Lu Miaochan supposed to answer this?
After Ye Xuan betrayed her like that, can she still say he has good character? But if she didn't say anything, Grandma would definitely suspect something; at this moment, Lu Miaochan felt extremely wronged!
"He... his character is okay, just sometimes unreliable. It's those unreliable actions that made me have a big fight with him."
After hesitating for a while, Lu Miaochan pouted before saying these words tactfully.
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Zhou Cuilan became even more curious and asked, "So what exactly did he do that was unreliable that made you so unhappy? Even drove my beloved granddaughter away from home?"
Lu Miaochan had anticipated Zhou Cuilan would ask like this, so she had already prepared a story in her heart, saying, "It's like this, he promised me something very important, but in the end, he didn't fulfill his promise and broke our agreement, which made me very disappointed and that's why I got so angry."
Half true and half false, Zhou Cuilan listened with a slight frown, her eyes slightly nervous, asking, "Miaochan, be honest with me, are you planning to break up with him?"
"Well... I..."
Lu Miaochan opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.
After thinking it over for a while, she decided to keep weaving the lie!
Because she didn't want to reveal the truth and upset her beloved grandma, she'd rather say something nice to comfort her.
With a smile on her face, Lu Miaochan smiled broadly and said, "Grandma, you're overthinking it! Of course, we're not breaking up. Even though he did something that made me really angry and disappointed, after all, we still have feelings for each other. How could I possibly break up with him?"
"Is that so? That's great then!"
Zhou Cuilan obviously breathed a sigh of relief, her speech softened, "I thought you were really going to break up with him, emotions aren't child's play. Since you haven't broken up, it means there's still love between you. You're just acting on impulse, and haven't suffered great harm! That way Grandma can rest assured as well because if your first love ends in great hurt, Grandma's heart would ache tremendously!"
"Grandma, I know, I won't make you sad or worried."
Lu Miaochan quickly agreed, secretly breathing a sigh of relief.
Even though it wasn't very good to deceive her grandma, at least it prevented Zhou Cuilan from getting any more distressed!
Because she knew very well how much Grandma cared for her, if she really got agitated, her illness would definitely act up again, and the consequences would be severe.
But just as she thought about this, the next scene that unfolded made Lu Miaochan's face completely change...
