Rich in the 70s: I Made a Rugged Veteran a Millionaire novel Chapter 130

Chapter 130: Chapter 130: Pickles

"Shen Que is crippled."

Grandma Shen spoke with heartache, but still objectively said, "I consider you like my own granddaughter. If I were your grandmother, I would not agree to a cripple being my grandson-in-law, do you understand?"

Jiang Cheng certainly understood.

She pulled her chair a little closer to Grandma Shen, resting her head directly on Grandma Shen’s lap.

"Grandma..."

With just that one word, Grandma Shen looked up.

"I have a liking for Shen Que because of his character."

"Of course, I’ve considered what you mentioned, but I don’t need Shen Que to support the family or make money. I want a partner who matches me."

"Making money, I can do it myself."

Jiang Cheng spoke confidently.

She sat up, holding Grandma Shen’s hand, and coquettishly said, "Just pretend you don’t know anything. I haven’t made a final decision, and I don’t want you worrying with us."

Grandma Shen was silent for a while.

"Fine, I know nothing!"

Saying this, Grandma Shen thought of something.

"Pretending not to know is quite fun. That rascal Shen Que, normally so shrewd, becomes a fool in your presence."

"With his foolish look, it’ll be obvious to Shen Xing and Shen Yue in no time."

Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement, "He is a little adorably nervous."

Grandma Shen: Adorable? Shen Que?

Linking those two words, she couldn’t help but show a disdainful expression.

The elderly and the young continued chatting for a while, then Grandma Shen left.

Just as she entered the house, she saw Shen Que sitting upright and earnestly reading a book.

Suppressing her amusement, Grandma Shen asked calmly, "Still not asleep?"

"I slept a lot on the car ride. Auntie is back."

Grandma Shen: What a pointless question!

"Yes, she’s back. Jiang Cheng still has to write translation drafts, she’s up late every night."

"I’ll make some wontons later as a late-night snack for her."

Hearing this, Shen Que immediately offered to help.

Grandma Shen said there was no need, but Shen Que insisted.

In the end, somehow, Shen Que was left alone making wontons.

Normally, the clever Shen Que would notice something was up.

But being focused on doing something for Jiang Cheng, he simply felt happy and didn’t think of anything else.

At 10:30 PM, Jiang Cheng heard a knock at the door.

"Coming!"

Jiang Cheng, used to opening the door, found someone different this time.

She quickly realized what was going on and playfully teased, "Why is it you?"

"Auntie is tired, I’m not."

Shen Que handed the bowl of wontons to Jiang Cheng, "It’s not hot, I let it cool a bit before bringing it over."

Jiang Cheng took the bowl.

It was warm, just the right temperature to eat.

Shen Que’s thoughtfulness made Jiang Cheng quite pleased.

"Thank you."

"You’re welcome, just make sure the door is shut. You can return the bowl tomorrow."

Shen Que nodded at Jiang Cheng, didn’t enter, and turned to leave.

Jiang Cheng didn’t say much either, took the bowl, and went back inside, closing the door.

As she ate the wontons, Jiang Cheng thought she could give Shen Que another point, not just a zero point zero one.

Because his skills were really good!

Meanwhile, back in his room, Shen Que lay in bed thinking of one thing: the light in Jiang Cheng’s room wasn’t very bright.

Early the next morning, Shen Que kept his habit of exercising.

Though his running posture was limited, things like pull-ups and push-ups weren’t affected.

At 6:20 AM, Jiang Cheng came out with the washed bowl and placed it in the kitchen.

Shen Que returned from outside, sweaty.

Wearing a tank top, Shen Que showed off his great physique.

If the setting were different, Jiang Cheng would have wanted to throw a bunch of change at him.
