"Grandma, I have an interview this morning. If there is nothing else, I will come back early." "Where do you want to go, grandma?" Poppi asked smilingly You seldom go down the mountain. Let me show you around. Where do you want to go? "
"Let's go to a funny place!" The old lady raised her head and answered like a child, "let's go to find something interesting."
"Okay, let's do as grandma said!" "We will have fun somewhere and make a plan." Poppi replied
"Where is Malcolm?" The old lady turned to her grandson, curled her lips and said, "I'm worried to go out with the little turtle alone."
"Grandma, don't be silly. I won't hurt you! By the way, your grandson is so busy... "
"The release of the latest mobile phone of the SG Group was started today, and the first batch of products was already in stock at three o'clock in the morning..."
The early morning news began to play the news about the SG group. Like the old lady, Poppi forgot what she had just said and watched the TV unconsciously.
Poppi couldn't help but be speechless. Was his plan going to dominate the mobile phone market? He was so awesome. When she was about to congratulate him, she was attracted by the TV screen and the voice. She couldn't say anything more.
"And last night, a reporter found that Mr. Malcolm and a woman seemed to hold hands together in the Times Square..."
There were several blurry pictures on the screen. In the pictures, a man and a woman were walking side by side with a smile on their faces. While the man, who looked firm and cold on his side face, was exactly Malcolm. Even though the picture was dark and not clear, poppi and the old lady could recognize it at a glance.
"Is that you?" The old lady asked. Her face darkened in an instant as she looked at Malcolm.
"Yes." ZEMO nodded slightly.
Poppi was speechless. She blinked at him and waited for his next words. Next second, when he was about to stretch his chopsticks, his grandma slapped him across the table.
"Tell me! What happened! " The old lady said with anger.
ZEMO cast a glance at his grandmother, "grandma, news is exaggerating. I just had a cup of coffee with her last night."
"Coffee? !" The lady was furious. She raised her voice and snapped, "you said you had something important to do last night. Did you just go out for a cup of coffee? You Kaaahhkkk, kaaahhkkk, kaaahhkkk.... " The old lady was so angry that she couldn't help coughing.
"Grandma! Are you all right, grandma? " Poppi was shocked.
"Grandma, how are you feeling? Cora, get the doctor! "
"Yes, Mr. Huo."
"Don't touch me!" Her grandmother pouted and pushed away Malcolm's hand. "There is no good in your family! Especially men! Malcolm, don't touch me! Kaaahhkkk, kaaahhkkk, kaaahhkkk.... "
Malcolm's hand stopped in midair all of a sudden.
Not knowing what to do, Poppi comforted, "grandma, don't be angry! Then how could Malcolm be such a bastard. Their company's mobile phones were sold in advance today, and he just took the opportunity to become the headline of the news and create a news about mobile phones! " At the same time, Poppi poured a glass of water for her grandma and said, "grandma, you drink some water first."
"I won't drink it." She looked away. She wouldn't allow his grandson to have sex with another woman. She was especially disgusted with such male behavior.
"Grandma, I'm fine. Malcolm told me last night when he came back." Poppi couldn't help but speak and winked at Malcolm.
But Malcolm turned a deaf ear to it. He was angry. If it wasn't for Poppi, he wouldn't have wanted to go out for a walk, neither would what happened after that, nor would he anger grandma
The old lady turned around and humphed to Poppi, "and you, you are a fool! You two will annoy me to death sooner or later! You can't spoil a man. Do you still want to repeat my mistakes by saying good things for your husband?! Kaaahhkkk, kaaahhkkk, kaaahhkkk.... "
"Mr. Malcolm, Mrs. Malcolm, here comes the doctor."
But the old lady didn't even look at them. She directly asked Poppi, "did you ask him about last night? Tell me, who is that woman on TV! What's her name? "
"What?" Embarrassed, Poppi looked at Malcolm and waved her hand, "grandma, that woman on TV doesn't seem to exist and I don't even care about the name."
"Ahem!" The lady stood up abruptly, her face red with anger, and said through gritted teeth, "you idiot! We were so stupid when we were young! "
Taking a step forward, Malcolm said, "grandma, please trust me."
The old lady sneered, "I've heard that for more than 50 years! If I didn't trust him, I wouldn't have ended up like this! " Then she asked Cora to come over and let her help her walk upstairs. "You two go to work. I'm angry at the sight of you! My blood pressure Malcolm, if you have done anything to me last night, please don't call me grandma anymore! Kaaahhkkk, kaaahhkkk, kaaahhkkk.... "
Then she slammed the door and left.
