337: Top Wingman of the Year (1)

Top Wingman of the Year (1)

Upon hearing Grandpa Lin's words, Lin Jiage silently gave him a thumbs up in his heart and presented him with the glorious title of the 'Top Wingman of the Year' to him before slowly drifting his gaze toward Liang Mumu's face again.0

Compared to her slightly displeased expression from before, her awful complexion was already visible for all to see.

It's not that everyone here was intentionally acting against her, but who told her to mess with Soft Bun again and again?

It's all our first time living as humans, so why are you the only one that have so much trouble?

...

Not long after Auntie Sun left, Grandpa Lin's principal doctor dropped by for his routine visit.

After checking on Grandpa Lin's physical condition, as per usual, the principal doctor began going through his medical condition.

There were indeed some improvements, but overall, it still didn't look too optimistic...

Upon hearing those words, Lin Jiage asked, "Is it fine for Grandpa Lin to be temporarily discharged?"

The principal doctor shot a glance at Grandpa Lin, and after receiving a slight nod of approval, he replied, "A day or two should be fine, but I don't advise him to be out for too long."

Lin Jiage nodded before continuing on, "Grandpa's birthday is on next month, so we'll be arranging a birthday banquet for him. If grandpa's condition still isn't too good then, we might have to trouble you to make a trip to our house to take care of him."

The principal doctor replied, "Sure, that won't be a problem."

Hearing the conversation between Lin Jiage and the principal doctor, Liang Mumu glanced downward contemplatively.

If Grandpa Lin's birthday is on the next month, then she…

As some thoughts formulated in Liang Mumu's mind, her eyes inconspicuously drifted toward Shi Yao before she lowered her gaze to conceal a scheming glint in her eyes.

When the principal doctor finally left the room, Liang Mumu finally spoke up, "Earlier, when Brother Jia spoke about Grandpa Lin's birthday, I suddenly recalled that Yaoyao has already prepared a birthday present for you around a month ago!"

Shi Yao frowned upon hearing those words.

She did remember when Grandpa Lin's birthday was, but she had been stressing out over what she should prepare for Grandpa Lin on his birthday, so how could she have possibly prepared a present for him a month in advance?

"Grandpa Lin, you are bound to love the present which Shi Yao had prepared! She knows that you love calligraphy, so she specially bought an inkstone for you. I was by her side then, and it was truly…" At this point, Liang Mumu abruptly clasped her mouth with her hands, as if she had accidentally given away a secret. A moment later, she sheepishly lowered her hands and said, "... Ah, I accidentally gave away what the present is. However, I'll keep what the details a secret so that you can look forward to it."

"Inkstone? That happens to be what I really like! That being said, even if Yaoyao gives me something else, I'll still like it as much." As he spoke, Grandpa Lin turned his gaze to Shi Yao and continued on, "... Yaoyao, you actually started preparing my birthday present since a month ago? It seems like I didn't dote on you for nothing!"

Inkstone? Those high-quality inkstones should be rather expensive, right? Is Liang Mumu trying to trip me over because she knows that I don't have much money?

But Grandpa Lin has already said such words, so it seems like I can only go along with it then…

Shi Yao pondered for a moment, and in the end, she could only respond with such words, "Of course, Grandpa Lin. It's your birthday."

Knowing from the very start that Shi Yao could only respond in such a manner, Liang Mumu's lips curled up into a cold sneer.

She knew that Shi Yao didn't have much money, so even if she were to buy an inkstone, it was unlikely that she would be able to get anything good.

On the other hand, all she had to do was to find out the appearance of the inkstone Shi Yao would buy, purchase the authentic one, and present it to Grandpa Lin during his birthday. By then, with her real inkstone contrasting against Shi Yao's fake...
