Once Upon A One Night Stand novel Chapter 154

Li Han sighed helplessly. "I know you're conventional and can't accept a woman who was married before as your granddaughter-in-law, but Shu Tian is definitely not the kind of woman you think she is. She's very simple and kind. She displays no misbehaviors, nor is she frivolous..."

"All right, all right. You're just love-struck and believe that she is perfect." Old Master Li stopped him with a wave of the hand.

Li Han shook his head and did not continue talking. His grandparents rarely visited him, so he did not want to upset them. What's more, a few very brief words wouldn't be able to change their constant prejudice against Shu Tian.

Half an hour later, Shu Tian came in with the ingredients. She had bought carrots, mutton, and some fresh fruits and vegetables. Li Han came up and wanted to help her, but she refused. "Don't. Your grandparents will be unhappy when they see that."

Shu Tian made her way to the kitchen and put the ingredients on the clean counter. The old lady had just kneaded the dough. She checked what Shu Tian had bought, and pointed to the refrigerator. "There's no pepper at home. Did you buy it?"

Pepper?

Shu Tian didn't remember having been asked to buy that.

Seeing her confused expression, the old lady knew what her answer would be. "You didn't buy it."

"I thought you wouldn't need it, so I didn't..." Shu Tian corrected herself in a hurry, "I'll go buy it now. Is there anything else you need?"

"Just buy this. As for other things needed, we'll talk about that later."

Later...

Shu Tian had no choice but to turn back. She walked out of the villa, headed towards the car with the lights still on in the distance languidly, and told the driver, "Go to the supermarket again."

The driver, Liu, was puzzled. "Miss Shu, are you going to the supermarket again?"

It hadn't been ten minutes since she got out of the car.

Shu Tian nodded. "Yes."

"Okay."

The car started. Shu Tian looked out the window, a little aggrieved. The old lady did not forget to let her buy pepper. She was doing that on purpose to secure a leading position over Shu Tian.

If Li Han hadn't rushed home just now, she would have been subjected to more scathing censure. Now that Li Han was at home, they couldn't play hardball barefacedly.

Shu Tian leaned her head against the window and felt very tired as if she was carrying a great burden. In the face of the elders' criticism, she had no other way but to behave herself. After all, she was notorious for her past and all those rumors. It was really difficult to mend her reputation.

Understandably, if she were Li Han's grandparent, she might forbid him to be with a woman like herself too. But the more she thought about it that way, the more bushed she felt.

She went to and fro just for a packet of ground pepper. When she got home, the stuffing for dumplings had been concocted.

The old lady saw her coming back and said, "Why did you come back so late? I'm already done. Put it aside."

Shu Tian held the pepper in her hand and stood still.

The old lady stopped what she was doing and turned to look at Shu Tian. "What's wrong?"
