Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 351

Benjamin sighed as he finished his words, looking at Jesse with regret.

Dan spoke in attempt to ease the situation. "Benjamin, let the past stay in the past. We can't do anything about it anymore. That's why it is unnecessary for you to feel sorry about what happened. As far as I can see, Jean is a good girl. She knows how to handle herself. More importantly, she respects you. It's hard to get respect from the youth nowadays." Dan and Jesse exchanged knowing glances. Benjamin zoned out for a while, pondering at what Dan had said.

"Yes, I agree that she is a good girl, but she's not anywhere near Jesse." Benjamin paused, making Jesse smile a little. "If only Jean could be like her. It's a pity that the younger generations nowadays don't take advices from their elders and just deliberately decide on their own. Our efforts of intervention will just deem futile," Benjamin said with a sigh, still zoning out and wondered what could be done. Hearing what Benhamin had said, Dan nudged at Jesse.

Understanding what the gesture meant, Jesse hastily approached Benjamin. She placed an arm across him, rubbing his back to comfort him. "Grandpa Benjamin, it's not good for you to keep stressing out on trivial things, and just trust Zed. We all know how good Zed's judgments are most of the time. Jean must have unique and special qualities about her, so Zed chose to stay by her side even after what happened. Besides, Jean had already broken up with Ethan long ago. She must just be attractive enough for Ethan to attend the party and make a scene." After she finished, Jesse heard another sigh from Benjamin.

"Speaking of which, what happened last night hurts me most," Benjamin said, frowning. He stopped zoning out, and his face looked forlorn. "I still can't believe her attitude. Now that she's married to my grandson, she shouldn't have had any emotional attachment to her ex-boyfriend. See, if Jean never contacted Ethan in the first place, then he wouldn't have pestered her. She led him on, believing he still had a chance. Moreover, it seems like most of her actions were tactless. Her life reeks of imprudence, and I can't seem to grasp why Zed is very fond of her." Benjamin shook his head in disapproval and sighed once more.

"Benjamin, I thought we agreed that we would not worry about the younger generation's affairs." Dan pointed. "Besides, Zed is an intelligent boy, and I trust that he knows what he should do, so let us just rest assured."

"How can I not do anything? I can't even be certain anymore!" Benjamin declared while raising his hand in frustration. I didn't know Jean well before, and now that I know what kind of person she truly is, I must tell her and even might teach her how to be a good and loyal spouse. I won't let her break the law as well for she carries my family name now." Benjamin finished. When he caught sight of the time, his eyebrows furrowed even more. "Oh, you know what? We left home at exactly 9 in the morning, but where was she then? In her room, still sleeping!"

Benjamin became more furious at the thought of someone not waking up before sun rise. He began to tremble in aggravation. Jesse noticed this change of reaction immediately.

"Grandpa Benjamin, calm down. I believe that Jean is not in a good condition. I even heard that a few days ago, she was sent to the hospital." Jesse explained quickly, worried that Benjamin's condition would be compromised because of his rage. "I also heard that she fainted."

"I don't understand. It is very unreasonable. She's still too young to have poor health. How could she faint without explanation at such a young age?" Thinking about this didn't help Benjamin's case. He just grew angrier. "Maybe, she's just pretending to be in poor health purposedly in front of Zed, so he could worry about her and would just care for her alone. I despise people like that. She is just so impolite, and I will teach her how to behave like a true Qi."

Benjamin proclaimed indignantly. Before he could speak again, someone interrupted him.

"Good day, grandpa."

A sweet voice coming from the distance made them all turn towards its direction, making them all gape in shock at the unexpected arrival.

It was Jean, and it turned out that she didn't want to be talked behind her back as she appeared before them. She stood a few steps away from them with a sweet smile plastered on her face.

"What is she doing here?" Benjamin asked crossly, breaking the silence that Jean had placed. Her sweet expression didn't change the frown on his face.

Although he felt guilty about discussing about her behind her back, Jean was still his granddaughter-in-law; she now represented their family name as well, and it was just right of him to discipline her.

His face darkened, and he steamed up even more as his gaze followed Jean, walking towards them.

Jean kept her head up as she moved closer to them, giving Jesse a quick glance.

Jesse was shocked to see Jean. Her eyes widened at her sudden presence. She lowered her head down, avoiding Jean's gaze and dared not to look her in the eyes.

Jean stopped walking as she now joined the group. The smile on her face widened as she faced Benjamin. "Grandpa, I apologize for my lack of punctuality," Jean said, bowing her head a little to show some respect.

"I thought you're not aware." Benjamin responded coldly and glared at her with a scowl on his face.

Jean tried hard to not get fazed by his reaction and bowed a little lower. "I am quite aware how late I am. I'm sorry, grandpa. It will not happen again." When Benjamin didn't respond, she raised her head up and continued,"I have reserved a table at Safwan Restaurant to make amends to the inconvenience I had given to you and Grandpa Dan." She bowed once again, hoping this would work for her.

Hearing this, Benjamin's anger subsided. He cleared his throat and stood up to show his acceptance of Jean's offer.

Jean sighed in relief as she noticed the frustration in Benjamin's face slowly faded away. She raised her head up once more and turned her gaze at Jesse, who was still avoiding eye contact and any interaction with Jean. Jean smirked and asked,"Jesse, don't you have your phone with you right now? I called you several times, but I just reach voicemail." Jean then furrowed her eyebrows at Jesse.

Jesse raised her head up when Jean recognized her. She felt her cheeks warm all of a sudden.
