The Inconceivable Flame: A Fallen Angel“s Disguise Chapter 125 Settle Her Scores

When Xiao Zhi Ren didn't bother paying attention to Tang Yiyi, she couldn't find a reason to stay. Therefore, she had to leave.

"Tang Yiyi took a fancy to you," Old Madam Ji stated casually while peeling melon seeds. "Should I arrange a meeting for you two?"

"No thanks. I have someone already." Xiao Zhi Ren answered without even blinking an eye.

Old Madam Ji narrowed her eyes at her grandson but didn't take his words to heart. According to her, he didn't like Tang Yiyi and was making excuses now.

"Is she really Xiao Hong's friend?" Xiao Zhi Ren asked curiously while munching on melon seeds which his grandmother was peeling for him.

"Haiz! She is very close to Xiao Hong." Old Madam Ji didn't seem happy while she said that.

"How is that possible? This girl looked way older than Xiao Hong." Xiao Zhi Ren was frowning.

"Don't question me. All of your siblings are like you when it comes to friends. Either you guys don't make friends or when you do, you guys always treat them like a family member." It felt good to say her grievances out loud. "This Tang Yiyi saved Xiao Hong years ago and from that moment, Xiao-Hong treats her like a sister. Honestly, though, I don't like her at all."

Xiao Zhi Ren chuckled softly. "My grandma is still the same. Always showing her dislikes openly."

"Why wouldn't I? That girl doesn't just look like a white lotus, even the feels she gives are the same. And I really don't like pretentious people. I like honest and blunt people like Xie Rong. Yeah. That is one fine specimen." Xiao Zhi Ren smiled but stayed quiet. "Find out if he has a sister. I'll gladly tie the knot between you and her."

"Aren't you eager to get me married?"

"Why wouldn't I be? I have to see a couple of great-grandchildren before dying in peace."

Xiao Zhi Ren was about to glare at his grandmother when he heard the voice that could make him forget everything,

"Who's dying?" Ru asked while entering the room.

"Rong! Brother, I'm proud of you." Xiao Zhi Ren gave Ru a tight hug which she had to bear because of Old Madam Ji.

"I wonder why?" Ru asked as she inhaled deeply to get back the oxygen which he knocked out of her by hugging that tightly.

"Well, you actually managed to find your back this time." Ru's mouth twitched at his sarcastic remark.

"I'm proud of myself as well."

"Oh, why?"

"Because you're still alive and well."

Xiao Zhi Ren glared at her while she gave him an innocent smile. Even she was surprised that she hadn't strangled him yet. Because of the way they were moving, that day wasn't too far. For sure!

"Anyways, I heard something about dying." Ru again went back to the original question.

"Obviously, I'm old so I'd be the one dying as well." Old Madam Ji even made a pitiful look and coughed a couple of times to emphasize her point.

Ru sat on her side and said, "Can you extend your hand for me?"

Old Madam Ji immediately extended her hand towards her with curiosity. Before Ru could place her fingers on her aged but still fair and delicate wrist, she stopped and pulled out a small satin cloth. Placing it on her wrist she turned to take the pulse while saying, "My grandfather said to always give the respect and honor that a woman deserves. And a gentleman shouldn't be carelessly touching a fair lady."

"Oh my!" Old Madam Ji placed her other hand over her chest as she gasped. "Young man, where were you when I was looking for you?"

"He was negotiating the food deals with G.o.d." Xiao Zhi Ren jutted in and Ru gave him a deathly glare.

"Madam Ji, I was wondering the same thing," Ru said to the old lady with a beautiful smile taking anyone's breath away.

'Here she goes using that poisonous tongue of hers which always works as a sweet poison on ladies.' Huffing out a breath, he said, "Could you refrain from hitting on my grandmother?"

"Whatever!" Ru grumbled before retrieving her hand and the satin cloth. "So, Old Madam Ji apart from being weak because of the big surgery everything else is perfect with you. Have some ginseng soup. You'll live for another decade or so easily."

"Rong, are you a doctor?" Old Madam Ji asked with fascination.

"Didn't I tell you, grandmother? He is a genius." The way Xiao Zhi Ren called her a genius was a bit unsettling with Ru but she decided to ignore it. She will settle her scores with Xiao Zhi Ren after leaving this house.
