Chapter 1643: On a Honeymoon

Shen Manting suddenly realized I and immediately said, “Sorry, Granny . I’d forgotten myself for a moment . Please come in!”

She opened the door and invited Old Mrs . Shen inside . She said, “The place is small . Since I am living alone, I just made do with a random place to live simply . You…”

Shen Manting turned around and realized that other than her stool at the writing desk, her bed was the only other place to sit on .

“Please sit here,” she offered as she pulled the stool over .

Old Mrs . Shen looked around at Shen Manting’s living quarters . She frowned imperceptibly .

It was a small single room, less than 107 square feet in area, with a bed that measured 3 feet .

Opposite the bed was a small desk with a plastic stool .

The walls were rough and made of cement . Not a single tile had been laid on it .

There was a small kitchenette and bathroom . Fortunately, the window was big, which allowed natural light to enter .

As the harsh sunlight shined through the window into the room, it illuminated the sparseness of the room, making it even more evident .

Everything could be seen with a single glance .

Old Mrs . Shen had never witnessed such a small apartment in her life .

Was such an apartment even livable?

She didn’t voice any of these sentiments .

Following Shen Manting’s words, she sat on the lone stool .

Shen Manting looked at her for a moment and said, “It might be a little hard for you . Would you like me to get a pillow to cushion the surface?”

“That won’t be necessary, Manting . ” Old Mrs . Shen smiled amiably and turned her head to face the bodyguard that followed behind her . She said, “Get out . I’m going to speak to my granddaughter-in-law . ”

The way Old Mrs . Shen had referred to her made Shen Manting’s heart skip a beat .

Granddaughter-in-law?

What was that supposed to mean?

The bodyguard nodded his head and quickly left the room, closing the door behind him .

Shen Manting’s stomach rumbled . In the quiet little room, the sound was especially evident .

Old Mrs . Shen chuckled when she heard it and remarked, “You must be hungry . Come, let Granny cook something for you . What ingredients did you buy?”

Shen Manting quickly waved her hands in refusal and said, “No, that’s not necessary at all . Please remain seated . I am indeed hungry, but how about this? Just sit here for a moment while I prepare something to eat . I’ll prepare your share too . Will that do?”

Old Mrs . Shen nodded her head in agreement . “Sure . Thank you . ”

“I was going to cook anyway . ”

“Then… May I watch you?” Old Mrs . Shen asked .

Watch?

Shen Manting was a little distressed when she heard that word . She bent her head and asked, “What’s there to watch? It’ll be better for you to sit here . I’ll be done very quickly . ”

With that, she turned and left without any further delay .

Shen Manting got the water boiling and proceeded to arrange the fresh produce she had just bought .

Old Mrs . Shen observed her skinny frame from the back and felt conflicted .

Her heart ached . She was unhappy .

“Did you know who Shen Luo’an was getting married to?” Old Mrs . Shen suddenly asked .

Shen Manting froze while washing the vegetables . She hurriedly replied with a laugh, “It was Guan Queye, wasn’t it? I knew about it for some time . ”

“Do you have any idea what Shen Luo’an has been up to recently?”

Shen Manting bent her head down as she continued to wash her vegetable . The smile on her face waned .

She turned her head and forced a smile onto her face as she replied, “Now that the wedding is over, he’s probably on a honeymoon with his beloved new bride . Did they go to the Maldives or Hawaii? Or, did they perhaps go so some other lovely destination?”

As she spoke, Shen Manting suddenly realized how pathetic she was .

Her eyes began to burn with unshed tears . She quickly turned around . “Please give him my best wishes,” she said .

When Old Mrs . Shen heard that, she knew Shen Manting had no idea what had been going on . With a sigh, she said, “Guan Queye is dead . ”
