Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 825

Grandma Su felt lonely. She looked at the helper that was wiping the table and said, “Why are you working as a helper here? You seem almost the age of a grandma now.”

Aunt Ji replied, “I have two sons. My eldest son is married and has children, I am a grandmother now.”

“What about your younger son?” Grandma Su asked.

“He’s not married yet,” Aunt Ji replied.

Grandma Su soon felt bored with Aunt Ji’s curt replies. She sighed and wheeled herself back into her room.

The room also felt empty as she picked up a photo on the table. It was a photo of her younger self and her husband.

She was sitting on a chair while her husband stood behind her. She felt as if she could see her younger self through the photo.

“I’m getting old,” Grandma Su said with a hint of melancholy in her voice. “Su Zhan is angry with me. He must be blaming me for what happened. But I just wanted him to have a child and ensure the Su has an heir. Am I wrong?”

No one responded as the young couple in the photo smiled at her.

She held onto the photo. “Is it time for me to meet you?”

“Sigh…”

Grandma Su sat in her room for a long time. Su Zhan returned home early that day. He came back just as Aunt Ji was done preparing dinner.

Grandma Su was very happy to see him back as she said, “Quickly wash your hands and let’s have dinner. I specially requested Aunt Ji to cook your favorite…”

Thud!

Su Zhan closed the door after him before she could even finish speaking.

Grandma Su froze.

Aunt Ji placed the dishes on the table and walked over. “Food is ready.”

Grandma Su lowered her eyes and wheeled herself to the table. “Get him to come to eat dinner.”

Aunt Ji knocked on Su Zhan’s door. “Mr. Su, dinner is ready.”

“One moment.”

Grandma Su sat in front of the table. She had no appetite as she stared at the mouthwatering dishes.

Aunt Ji walked over. “He’ll be over in a bit.”

Grandma Su waved her hands and said, “Ok.”

Su Zhan came out after a while. He was dressed casually in home wear. The shirt hung loosely on his shoulders as he had lost weight.

He sat himself in front of the table and began to eat.

Grandma Su felt much better when she saw him at the dinner table. She placed a piece of ribs on his plate. “This is your favorite.”

Su Zhan ate all the dishes except for the plate of pork ribs and the piece Grandma Su placed on his plate. He soon had his fill and left the dining room.

“Su Zhan…”

“Aunt Ji, my dirty clothes are in the bathroom. Please wash it for me.” Su Zhan cut Grandma Su off and instructed Aunt Ji.

Aunt Ji replied, “I’ll go get it now.”
