Chapter 263: You’re Not Destined to Be My Granddaughter-in-law

“Grandma Mo, let me help you.”

The Old Madam had a little problem with her legs and couldn’t walk very well.

Shen Rou walked over carefully to help her stand up and reminded her softly, “Grandma Mo, be careful.”

The Old Madam got up and glanced at her, her eyes laced with a trace of regret and pity.

This girl from the Shen family was indeed good.

In terms of family background, appearance, and personal abilities, she was a good match with her precious grandson.

And this girl was affectionate and filial.

As elders, they liked her very much.

The Shen and Mo families were good friends and the elders of the two families also had a good relations.h.i.+p. They already had the idea of an arranged marriage in the beginning.

The Shen family was naturally very satisfied with Mo Yesi, and the Mo family was also very satisfied with Shen Rou.

But…

No matter how optimistic and satisfied they were as elders, they were helpless if these two juniors didn’t fancy each other.

In particular, her precious grandson was a very opinionated person. He might compromise on some unimportant things, but it was absolutely impossible for him to compromise on major things like his life-long happiness.

Since he didn’t fancy Shen Rou, n.o.body could force him or compel him to.

But they all knew Shen Rou’s mind.

This girl had liked their baby grandson since young.

Although she hadn’t said it, she was aware that true feelings for someone couldn’t be hidden.

They were just afraid that Mo Yesi’s sudden marriage had hurt her.

But the Old Madam was a very clear person. Even if she liked Shen Rou, since her precious grandson was already married, no matter how satisfied she was with Shen Rou, she still wouldn’t consider letting her be her granddaughter-in-law.

…

Because of the Old Madam’s legs, the floors leading to her bedroom had been installed with elevators.

She stayed on the fourth floor.

After coming out of the elevator, Shen Rou helped the Old Madam back to her bedroom.

“Rou Rou, I have a few words to say to you.”

The Old Madam stood at the door, holding Shen Rou’s hand with a serious expression.

Shen Rou smiled obediently and nodded. She said in a soft voice, “Yes, Grandma Mo. I’m listening.”

Staring at her, the Old Madam finally sighed faintly and said, “Rou Rou, Ah Si’s mother and I have always liked you. For so many years, I have always treated you as my granddaughter. I originally thought that since you have grown up with Ah Si and you’re the only person of the opposite s.e.x that he can approach, you would be the one he marries. I thought you would be his first choice.”

Startled, Shen Rou’s expression changed, and she bit her lips. “Grandma Mo…”

“Good girl.” The Old Madam patted the back of her hand lightly. “It seems like you’re not destined to be my granddaughter-in-law. I know you still have Ah Si in your heart, but he’s married now. As you have seen, he likes Mianmian very much.

“I’ve raised Ah Si and I understand him. The person he himself has decided on is the person he wants to live the rest of his life with. Rou Rou, you’re a very outstanding girl. Other than Ah Si, I’m sure there are other boys worthy of your liking.

“You should stop wasting time on Ah Si and look at the other boys around you.”

In the past, Old Madam had stayed quiet despite knowing that Shen Rou’s feelings were unrequited.

But now, it was different.
