Chapter 112: Chapter 112: I am… the Duchess’s grandmother!
If her husband hadn’t brought it up on his return, she would have had no idea that her grandson was courting the Nangong family’s precious daughter!
She remembered her grandson saying he wanted to have great-grandchildren soon and that she must absolutely not disturb the young couple’s life.
This time, she just wanted to sneak a peek.
After all, which elderly person wouldn’t be curious about their future granddaughter-in-law!
As if she couldn’t wait for Qin Bo to answer, the old lady suddenly walked towards the carved wooden door.
“Hey, Old Madam!”
Although the Young Madam matter had been mentioned to the Old Madam by the Young Master, with the appearance of Nangong Feifei, Qin Bo now wasn’t sure whether he should let the Old Madam know about the existence of the Young Madam.
Inside the sofa, Gu Qiangwei had already noted several companies to apply for, sending out her resumes to all of them.
Just as she was about to get up and go to the kitchen for a glass of water, she caught a glimpse of someone’s head peering out from the doorway out of the corner of her eye.
She paused mid-step, then abruptly turned her head to see an elderly lady with white hair smiling at her.
That wasn’t right—not ‘looking’, but ‘sneaking a peek’!
And at that moment, Granny Qin clinging to the doorframe did not seem to realize that Gu Qiangwei had spotted her, tilting her head slightly to ask the Qin Bo by her side, “Is this the girl?”
For a moment, Qin Bo was unsure how to respond to this question.
Because he didn’t know whether the ‘girl’ she was referring to was the Young Madam or Miss Nangong.
He remained silent, and Old Madam Qin took his silence for agreement.
“My, the Nangong family’s daughter is really lovely and exquisite!”
With that, she continued to admire Gu Qiangwei, who stood there staring back at her with interest.
Perhaps being completely absorbed in her thoughts led Old Madam Qin to not realize that she’d been ‘discovered’!
Yet Qin Bo turned his gaze in surprise.
Did Old Madam think the Young Madam was Miss Nangong?
What to do now…
“Qin Bo?”
Looking at the old lady clinging to the doorframe, Gu Qiangwei was confused about what was happening and turned her gaze to Qin Bo standing behind her.
Only when she spoke did Old Madam Qin realize that the granddaughter-in-law had seen her, and she quickly turned and hid behind the doorframe!
Qin Bo wore a look of melancholy.
“Have I been discovered?” she whispered to Qin Bo, her face mischievous, hardly fitting of an eighty-year-old woman, she looked more like an eighteen-year-old girl.
Qin Bo didn’t know what to say and eventually had to reply with a stiff upper lip.
“Yes.”
By then, Gu Qiangwei had walked to the doorway, turning her head, catching Old Madam Qin’s forlorn gaze.
She was startled, finding the old lady’s demeanor quite… adorable.
“Hello there?” As if afraid her grandson would know she had been here, Old Madam Qin spoke very cautiously.
Gently extending her hand, she looked affectionately at Gu Qiangwei, “I am… Sijue’s grandma.”
Hearing her words, Gu Qiangwei was startled.
Sijue’s grandma?
Qin Sijue’s grandma!?
As if suddenly realizing something, she quickly turned to look at Qin Bo.
If Qin Si’s grandfather could not know about her existence, surely his grandmother shouldn’t either, right?
“You are Feifei, aren’t you?” asked Old Madam Qin, looking at Gu Qiangwei with a loving face.
Feifei?
Gu Qiangwei turned her gaze back to meet the old lady’s affectionate eyes.
So, she had mistaken her for Qin Sijue’s fiancée, Nangong Feifei.
