After which, Shi Yao instinctively turned to look at the young man by the side.

His clothes were rumpled, and his hair was messed up. Most likely, he had spent the previous night in the hospital ward.

Even so, his complexion was still as radiant as ever.

Noting Lin Jiage’s inaction, Grandpa Lin instructed him once more with a heavier tone, “What are you waiting for? Go!”

Shi Yao quickly withdrew her thoughts from Lin Jiage and said, “Grandpa Lin, I’ll do it myself—”

“How can the hands of a lady be used to wash fruits?” Grandpa Lin interjected before Shi Yao could finish her sentence. He then shot a hostile look towards Lin Jiage and spoke in a tone laced with a warning, “Are you going or not?”

It wasn’t like Grandpa Lin had never instructed Lin Jiage to do something similar for her in the past, but the latter would never budge. Due to this, Grandpa Lin had chastised him plenty of times…

Grandpa Lin was still ill, and Auntie Sun had specially told her yesterday that he mustn’t get angry in his current condition.

Fearing that the grandfather-grandson duo would start another one of their many fights because of her, Shi Yao hurriedly parted her lips to diffuse the situation.

However, before the words could leave her mouth, Lin Jiage, who was leisurely seated on the sofa, suddenly stood up. He grabbed the fruits by the side and entered the washroom.

Shi Yao was stunned.

Only after Lin Jiage passed her the washed fruits did she recover from her daze.

She instinctively muttered “Thank you” in a state of bewilderment and raised her hand to grab the fruits, but at that moment, Grandpa Lin spoke up once more, “Remove the skin. How do you expect Yaoyao to eat the fruits without the skin removed?”

“T-there’s no need—” Once again, before Shi Yao could finish her words of refusal, Lin Jiage had already picked up a fruit knife and started clumsily peeling off the apple skin above a rubbish bin.

T-this… Was this still the same Lin Jiage she knew?

In the past, he wouldn’t even spare her another glance, let alone wash some fruits and peel them for her!

More importantly, there was that unpleasant incident between them yesterday…

Shi Yao couldn’t help but fall into deep thought as she munched on the extraordinarily ugly apple which Lin Jiage had peeled for her.

When Auntie Sun finally obtained the medicine and returned to the ward, Lin Jiage happened to finish peeling the fruits as well.

Putting the fruit knife down, he turned to Auntie Sun and said, “Auntie Sun, inform the chauffeur to come over now. I have something important to do at two o’clock, so I have to make a trip to the research lab.”

Hearing Lin Jiage words, Shi Yao, who had just finished eating the fruits, took a look at the time and realized that it was already ten minutes to one. She had a lesson at two o’clock, so she said, “Grandpa Lin, I have a lesson soon, so I have to leave now too.”

Grandpa Lin only responded to Shi Yao’s words, “You should hurry back then. Right, do you still have enough pocket money to spend?”

As he said those words, Grandpa Lin turned to Auntie Sun and instructed, “Give the young mistress a thousand dollars.”

Just as Auntie Sun was taking out the money, Grandpa Lin suddenly remembered that the research lab Lin Jiage was heading to was in the opposite direction of G University, and it just so happened that they both had something to do at two. Thus, it was impossible to have Lin Jiage take Shi Yao to the school first…

And so, Grandpa Lin spoke up once more without any hesitation, “Also, Auntie Sun, have the chauffeur send Shi Yao to her school.”

After which, Grandpa Lin turned to look at Lin Jiage and said, “You, take the train, bus, or hail a taxi…”

Following that, Grandpa Lin turned back to Auntie Sun and said, “Give the young master a hundred dollars for him to get to the research lab himself.

A thousand dollars and a hundred dollars… Wasn’t the difference between them too big?

Could it be that your grandson was picked up from the streets whereas your granddaughter-in-law is your real flesh and blood?

Two seconds later, Lin Jiage suddenly realized what he’d just thought, and his body stiffened.

The heck, g-g-granddaughter-in-law?

Just what was his head filled with?
